Chapter 220 – Episode 24. Demon Kyung (魔京) New York.
“So you’re back? “Is there anything you didn’t buy?”
When I returned to the New York branch of the company, Eve asked me with an expression as if I was wondering why I had come back. Yuka Otagi was nowhere to be seen, perhaps having gone hunting for Kurotsukido again.
“Rather than buying something, I got something from New York, but I felt like I couldn’t just take it with me, so I was wondering if I could send it to someone through a secret store.”
“That dog of steel you’re holding now?”
“Yes. And this gun.”
After receiving the gun from Mimata Chieri and showing it to her, Eve scans the mechanical wolf and the gun.
“Well, the gun is in my database. EL-0001 is a prototype gun that is only available worldwide. The steel puppy is not in the database. “Where did you get it?”
“I went to the abandoned Energy-Link Industrial Company factory and caught them attacking it.”
“Ah, something like that happened. As a DIA member privilege, we will join you in delivering the items you purchased today for free. Please post it here.”
Eve pointed at the serving robot that stopped Yuka Otagi from fighting earlier. Of course, since it is a hologram, you cannot receive the item directly, so you will have to get help from a robot like this.
“I’ll put it up.”
I placed a fairly heavy Steel Wolf, L1, and battery pack on the serving robot. When I put all the items up, the serving robot looked at me with wide eyes and a surprised expression, as if it had some kind of sensor.
“Uh, wait a minute! “This steel dog has dedicated AI installed?”
“Yes, although there is a forbidden killing Ai installed. “I plan to take it to Japan and study it.”
Eve nodded her head for a moment at my words, then opened her mouth with an expression of determination to say something.
“Can I buy the Ai program inside this dog?”
“Because I’m trying to do business with this dog of steel. “I don’t think I can sell it.”
As expected, if it was Ai material, she looked at me with the cat-in-boots eyes, like Eve, who is helpless, and said. It’s really cute though! Still, it is business material and cannot be easily given away.
“What business is this? Ah! So how about doing it like this? I’m also partnering with Mr. Ryuta! “I think I can be of great help as well.”
Well, it’s a collaboration with Amsang… In the first place, this steel wolf business was not something that could be done legally, so it seemed okay to do it with Darksang, the king of the dark route. I nodded in permission and opened my mouth.
“These steel wolves are covered in animal skins and sold as pets and secret bodyguards for the upper class.”
“Good idea! Because the preferred animals are different depending on the region… I heard that pet lions are popular among Middle Eastern royal families these days, so it’s nice to be able to change your appearance that way. And I can also reprogram the murderous AI that is currently installed.”
The initial idea was good, but tinkering with AI again was even more helpful. Since we are currently in the dark with the most AI data in the world, it would be beneficial to get help from artificial intelligence. You don’t even have to hire a new programmer.
“The skeleton will be even better if we use the mithril alloy from my mine in the current design.”
“I’m glad Mr. Ryuta has a mithril mine!”
I really like it. I don’t know if it’s because of the high business value, but they’re happy because they can get the AI of this steel wolf if they work with me.
“Then first, to be legally safe, you have to purchase Energy-Link Industrial Company. Are you planning to commercialize that gun as well? Wolf has no choice but to do it illegally, but if you are going to be in the gun business, you should definitely purchase Energy-Link Industrial Company. Otherwise, a lawsuit will be filed right away.”
“Wasn’t Energy-Link Industrial Company going bankrupt?”
Eve shook her head at my question. Well, the factory was completely abandoned and didn’t appear in the game, so I thought it was ruined… Are you saying the company still exists?
“Well, there is little activity, but the company itself is alive. The president of Jeondae passed away and now a person named Aria is in charge of the company. “I’m not particularly active, but I’m paying my taxes regularly.”
“How much can I buy?”
“There is little activity right now, but there are a lot of patents, so it won’t be cheap.”
It may not be cheap, but I think I can buy it with my money. Or, I could buy it with Han Yu-kyung and then set up a company in Korea to help Han Yu-kyung…
“First of all, if you worry about money, look at the price. “First of all, since we decided to work together, you can check the Steel Wolf’s Ai.”
“Wow, thank you! “Before that, I will send you a temporary contract through the Amsang app.”
Immediately with a beep, a document flew out from the dark app. I showed the document to Chieri Mimata for her to review. Mimatachieri quickly read the document and nodded his head.
“There doesn’t seem to be any problem. “It’s a temporary contract, so I don’t think a lot of details have been put into it yet.”
After nodding to Chieri Mimata’s words in secretary mode, we left Eve behind and headed out of the New York branch. Anyway, there was nothing to do in the dark room anymore and it was dinner time, so I was hungry so I went out right away.
“Junior, are you going to make this company as an affiliate of Hatake Investment Company?”
“Well, I think I’d like to set it up in Korea.”
“Are you with Han Yu-kyung?”
I was going to ride my motorcycle when it stopped abruptly. How does he know Han Yu-kyung? I turned around in surprise and saw that she was looking at me with an expression that looked like something a yandere heroine would make.
“Senior, don’t make that face. “I like meeting other women.”
“Bad! “You have to tell me in advance so that when you go to Korea, you can imagine it and do it on your own!!”
I don’t know what Chieri Mimata is saying. What are you imagining doing alone? .
“But since when did you know Yu-kyung?”
“I’ve been watching my junior, so there’s no way I wouldn’t know. You came to Japan once, right? “My junior even went to Korea.”
Oh, that’s right. Han Yu-kyung came to Japan. He must have known because Mimata Chieri was watching me at the time under Taira Danzo’s orders. Then, does Grandpa Danzo Taira know of Yukyung Han’s existence?
“Does her grandfather know?”
“Well, I think he reported that he was with another woman during the day and with Han Yu-kyung in the evening, and she had sex all day before being attacked. In fact, because her attack was such a big deal, the report was tailored to that side, so the report on Han Yu-kyung was probably omitted. “As far as I know, no one has followed her on her trip to Korea, so she probably doesn’t know that we met in Korea.”
Oh right. Han Yu-kyung When she came to Japan she was visited by an assassin. She was annulled by Yeouiju, but she remembers that she was declared dead for a while and that she ended up meeting the daughter of the abyss. Well, it was only a few months ago, but it felt like such a long time ago.
“It’s more likely that you don’t know, right?”
“Maybe?”
Whether Taira Danzo knows or not won’t change my actions, but it’s better not to know than to know.
“Anyway, she is thinking of creating a joint venture in Korea with Han Yu-kyung.”
“All right. Instead! She wants to do it with Han Yu-kyung next…”
“Senior, what are you talking about?”
When I saw signs that he was going to make a strange request to take a video again, I just rode my motorcycle and ended the conversation. Mimata Chieri following behind, please! I heard a voice, but I ignored it and entered downtown New York.
###
We stopped at one of New York’s top three steakhouses, had a hearty meal, and then rode our motorcycles back to the Fitzgeralds’ mansion. As if Fitzgerald had not yet arrived for Aris and I, only the butler welcomed us.
“You’re here. “Have you had dinner?”
“Yes, I heard that New York is famous for steak, so I ate it.”
“Oh my! The steak prepared by the chef at our mansion is much more delicious than those at places like that. “I’ll do it for you around lunch tomorrow.”
No matter how old the family is, how can you talk about a steak eaten outside as if you saw your son eating some kind of street food? I found it both funny and absurd, so I just smiled and nodded.
“Yes, I look forward to seeing how delicious it will be.”
“Hey, let me show you the best steak in New York.”
If you are this confident, I wonder how delicious it will be. After parting ways with her butler, Mimatachieri also went into her room and I decided to go into the room, wash up, and then check the items I got today.
◆Grizzly Totem [Epic Totem]
An leadern shaman tied the spirit of a bear to a bear statue. If you are recognized by the bear spirit, you can gain the strength and stamina of the bear.
I took out the bear totem I had checked earlier. This… I have to give it to Han Yu-kyung. Star magic and throwing skills were good for long and medium distances, but Han Yu-kyung’s physical ability itself was poor, so receiving the Grizzly Totem option would greatly help in close range as it would greatly improve strength and stamina.
For reference, the method of getting recognition from the bear spirit was simple. Just apply honey to the bear totem every day. If you do this for a few days, you will be recognized by the bear spirit and will lend you its strength and stamina.
I have enough strength and stamina so I don’t need it, so I’ll give it to Han Yu-kyung. And next…
◆Telling Music Box [Rare Item]
It is a music box that notifies the owner with beautiful music when someone with malicious intent approaches. There is a story that it is inhabited by a timid fairy.
Although it is of little use to me, who possesses the senses of a master, I thought it would be okay to give this to Mrs. Jin Mi-ja. Because it is malicious, it will be useful not only for your life but also for business purposes. The fraudsters who come to ruin the business also have malicious intentions, so the music box will definitely ring.
It was my first time seeing the liquor called the elixir of final power. I’m a little curious as to whether I’ll fail or win.
◆Elixir of Power [Rare Elixir]
An elixir that randomly increases strength from 0 to 2 when a person with strength less than 12 drinks it and sobers up. If you don’t get drunk, it’s just a drink with no power.
This too was a useless elixir to me. Now, I can’t get addicted due to my characteristics, so why would I get drunk? Besides, my strength is only 12. Even if I eat and get drunk, my strength won’t increase. Now that I think about it, the Abyss-Wounded Body trait is pretty bad. Since you don’t get drunk even if you drink alcohol, what flavor do you drink soju with? . I don’t drink alcohol often, but there are times when I crave it.
As I was sighing while looking at the elixir of strength, I heard a loud knock on the door, and Chieri Mimata came in.
Oh, she came into the room wearing a baby doll that looked a bit like something the upper class in early modern Europe or America would wear. Mimatachieri opened her mouth with her blushing slightly.
“I’m your junior… “I’m not wearing those panties♥”
