I decided to accept the Prime Minister's proposal. Surprisingly, I was able to make the decision without any trouble.
The day after I returned from the dinner with His Excellency, soldiers and aristocrats began to visit me in my room. And in a very overbearing manner.
"Become our warder! I'll take care of you!"
"You'll be a member of our flying dragon squad, you should be grateful!
No matter how many times we refused, the invitations kept coming. One soldier, for example, drew his sword in the lobby of a hotel. That was not a good idea, so he broke his sword instantly and lost his will to fight.
Because of this, I decided to start a business association. The name of the company is "Darke Trading Company". I was ashamed to use my own name as the name of the trading company. So I borrowed the name "Darke," which the late Prince Regent had asked me to take when he was adopted by the Bertham family.
Then I'll find a place to live. Since I was accompanied by Seono of the Order of the Knights, I asked him to introduce me to a real estate agent. He looked very uncomfortable.
The real estate agent introduced me three properties. Since I had Ilimo, I had set a condition that the house should have a stable, and there were only three. One was a house with a huge plot of land near the residence of the Prime Minister. It was said that a wealthy merchant's wife used to live there, but I refused to accept it because I could not manage it by myself.
Next was a house in the district where many members of the Imperial Guard live. It was a stone house and looked quite sturdy. It was not bad, but I had been traumatized by the overbearing attitude of the soldier, so I declined this one as well.
Finally, we were taken to a house at the edge of the city. There is a spring in the nearby forest and a field. The two-story building has a reception room, entrance hall, dining room and kitchen on the first floor. The house was built like a miniaturized version of the house of the Bartham family, with four rooms on the second floor. The house seems to have been a residence of the royal family a long time ago and has a large area. At any rate, it seems that the house extends far beyond the horizon. And this is 100G per month. That's 10,000 Japanese yen. The reason is simple: in the past few years, demons have been coming out of this forest, and it was too noisy to get a tenant. Of course, I have a ward, so there is no problem. I have placed a demon stone to protect it, but as a real estate agent, I wanted to get rid of the property as soon as possible.
After negotiations, he agreed to sell it to me for 1000G, and at the age of 14, I became the lord of a castle in the land of my birth.
It takes an hour to Miyagi on foot, but it takes less than 20 minutes on the Ilimo. Well, I guess that's acceptable.
After that, we stocked up on beds, sheets, and other daily necessities to bring into the house, and bought a lot of food. Of course, we bought a lot of rice and azuki beans. They also sold glutinous rice. Needless to say, we bought it in a frenzy. Soybeans and beans were also in abundance, so we bought them. Seasonings were also sold in abundance, and my cooking repertoire is about to expand.
Hospitals and physical therapy clinics are everywhere, and this town seems to be kind to its residents.
It takes about two weeks for everything to be ready. After that, I move out of the hotel as soon as possible. The food is better than I expected, and I will visit this hotel from time to time. As a token of my appreciation, I left a small tip when I checked out of the hotel.
When I left the hotel and walked around the city to move to my new residence, I heard a lot of noise in the brothel area. It seemed that there was a dispute between a woman and a soldier.
Why are we being arrested? You didn't do anything!
"Shut up, you whores! You are a bunch of vicious people who are disturbing the world and the public morals! For the sake of restoring order to the empire, you are to be apprehended! Walk quickly!"
"Hey! We are running this place with the Emperor's permission! If you want to catch us, you must have the Emperor's permission!
"From what I can see, the soldiers are also under our care! How can you say that?
"Shut up, shut up, you whores! I do not need to obtain the Emperor's will. This is an order from the First Princess Licorette! This brothel town must be destroyed!
The area is abuzz with soldiers trying to take the prostitutes away, officials trying to stop them, and onlookers. Then the soldiers came to me, grabbing the prostitutes by their hair and dragging them away.
"Earlier, you said you were going to destroy the brothel district, but there are ways to do it without being so rough."
"Oh? What?"
"You're going to capture all these sisters, aren't you? Isn't that a lot of work? There is a way to make this brothel town disappear naturally, without doing that.
"That's a funny thing to say, kid. What? Say it!
"If only everyone didn't have to go there."
"Aah! What?
"<
"Ah! You little brat!
A soldier draws his sword and slashes at me. That kind of slow swordsmanship won't work on me. In an instant, I smash the soldier's sword.
"If you continue your lawlessness, you will lose your heads this time, not your swords.
One hand is covered with flames. The soldiers pulled out, perhaps seeing that it was no longer a good idea to engage in a fight with a sorcerer.
Suddenly a red dot appeared on the map. It was diagonally behind me. I glanced at it and saw a big carriage stopped.
"You! You did it! I'm so relieved! You did a great job!"
"I didn't like them because they were always trying to make things difficult! You didn't even pay me!"
A fat little mother, who I assume is related to the store, pats me on the shoulder. Ouch! It hurts! On the other hand, she thanked me by pressing her ample breasts against my arm, revealing her cleavage.
"I like you, boy! I'm Akima, and I own a place down the street called Milaya. Follow me!
The fat lady, who introduced herself as "Akima," walked into town at a brisk pace. I am dragged along by the busty lady while she grabs my arm. Ilimo is following along with me. She seems a little confused. On the other hand, Gon on my back seems to be happy and is gasping for air. He's a happy-go-lucky fox.
When we get to the store, Akima-ko-ma brings a card from inside and hands it to me.
"Show it to us and we'll play for free! It's really a one-time deal, but I'll let you play for free for the rest of the year!"
"Not yet, right? Your sister will teach you how to do it."
"No, I'll take care of him! It's cute that you call us "sister". I'll teach you gently!
"We have all kinds of girls! I'll take care of the girl of your choice and leave it to you!"
No, I'm not an adult yet... Ladies? The group was so strong that I had to crawl out of the room.
