Chapter 216: CH.214 Showing Lua the Secrets of the Factory

In the morning, I met up with Lua in the factory. Now that she is my significant other, I have a few places I want to show her.

“Let’s start with this place, as we are right here.” I said, taking Lua up the set of steps that leads to the control platform. Previously she couldn’t access this area, as we had prevented everyone except Laura, Tahlia, Fantasia and myself from entering. Just because this place can directly influence some of my skills, like Storage, Dungeon Founder and Pack Opener. It also holds some administrative power over the factory. Sure most of my monsters are good and I don’t think Lua or Mia would ever mess with anything, but better safe than sorry. And some of my monsters do have … chaotic personalities, so they might do something just because.

 

“Wh-what is all of this?” Lua asked, looking at all of the monitors, displaying the inside of the factory, the dungeon as well as my surroundings in the real world. I have no idea how they can pull the images from my eyes when my eyes are closed, but it works, so I don’t care.

“I call it the control station. Here, take a seat.” I said, pulling out a chair for Lua.

She did as instructed and I sat down next to her.

“I can use this place to control some of my skills. All of these video feeds you see are made possible by integrating my Dungeon Founder skill with my Different Dimension Factory.” I explained. “These are from inside the factory. See, that’s Vampire Kingdom, there are the ocean rooms, and that is the fairy Sanctuary.” I said, showing her rooms she might recognize. “While these are from the dungeon. You might not recognize it, as it has changed a lot, but yeah. Here, the core room. I think you should recognize that.” 

“... yes. I think I do.” She said. “And that?”

“That comes directly from my eyes. It is the roof of the room I’m staying in. It is always displayed in that movie theater room, but Tahlia or Fantasia must have put it up here as well. Also, I have no clue how it sees through my eyelids.” I explained. “Then here, you can control things like permission in the factory. It can limit where certain monsters can go, and so on.” I continued. “And here you can manage my Pack Opener. You can even use it to open packs, if you want.” 

 

“... I see. Brian. Can I ask you something?”

“Of course. What is it?”

“Why are you showing me all of this?”

“... because it is the way I can show you how much I trust you. I want to show you that I trust you with my life, with my skills. I don’t want you to think that I agreed to be your boyfriend just because. And this is the best way I think I can show it. Just five people, well, one system support, two skill avatars, and us two, can access this area. Even Mia isn’t allowed here. But I want you to be able to come here, because I trust you, okay. … I might be bad at showing you how much I lo… I like you, but I hope this will suffice.” 

Why? Why can’t I say it? I want to, but … someday. 

“.. I see. Thank you, Brian. This really means a lot.” Lua said, likely just to try to show some appreciation, but I might be wrong.

 

“... anyway. Let’s get back on track.” I said, before I could get lost in her eyes. “Here is one thing you should definitely know. By using this terminal,” I said, as I pointed out the computer Lua was sitting at. “You can access my Pack Opener’s collection. There, you can see all of the cards I have.” As I said that, I navigated the menu and opened up my collection.

A giant list of cards, with a small image to the side appeared. In total, I have 1507 unique cards. As in, when you count just original, non altered Yugioh cards. But with all of the different entries that the collection uses, like the same card from different sets, cards that have sleeves, cards that have toploaders, and cards that have installs, the number in my collection was well over 5000. 

 

“Wow… I had no idea you had this many…” Lua muttered.

“It is a lot.” I admitted. “Here, I’ll show you how you can search the cards in there.” I said, showing her the search functions of my collection. 

Sort out monsters, spells and traps first. Then you can pick between different sub-types, like continuous, counter and normal traps. Or for monsters, you can sort between normal, effect, flip, fusion, etc. 

Sort by attribute, dark, light, all of that, you know. 

Or by subtype, dragon, fairy, spellcaster, etc. You get the drill. 

Of course you can even sort by level. And even search out words in the cards' effect text. That is nice when I’m looking for cards that can heal people. I just search for a card with an effect to increase life points, and boom. 

Yeah. You can search in so many ways.

“So, if you ever want new cards, you can look through this and ask for anything. Or if you meet a monster in the factory that you like, just ask for their card name, and then tell me you want it, and I’ll give you one.” I said. “And if you don’t feel like sorting through it yourself, you can just ask me for anything. I’ll hopefully find something you like.”

“... wow. You are spoiling me already.” 

“No. That is nothing. Honestly.”

After a bit more time explaining the control platform, I led Lua to the goblin bank. I wanted her to see my money factory after all.

“... this really is a bank, huh.” Lua muttered.

Actually, do they have banks in this world? They must, considering what she just said. I know this place is loosely based off of the Gringotts bank from Harry Potter, but I don’t know how accurate it really is. As in, how historically accurate the bank's insides were, when compared to a historic bank. Or like a medieval bank.

“What do they store here? Your cards?” Lua asked.

“I don’t think they have those. Well, they have some of them.” I said, referring to the goblins using some of them, like Good Goblin Housekeeping to manage my tokens. “But mostly, it is money. Come. I’ll show you.”

 

We walked to the person, goblin, in charge of the front room, and asked if the manager was ready for us. I had warned him about our visit yesterday, and asked that he leaves at least some Upstart Goblins so Lua can see them. We were then led into the managers room.

… is it wrong to call him the manager? He is kind of the owner. Well, I guess realistically Tahlia and I are the owners. And he is just the one in charge of the day-to-day operations. So I guess general manager isn’t that far from the truth.

 

“Master, we’ve been expecting you.” He greeted me. “Lady Lucia as well. Welcome.”

“H-Hello.” Lua responded, being a little taken back by the muscular hobgoblin wearing a three-piece suit.

“Hi Greed. … I shouldn’t call you that. How about a name? Do you have one?” I asked the Goblin of Greed.

“I don’t mind being called Greed, or you can give me another name, if you wish.” He responded.

 

… great. I should have considered this beforehand. I’m not good at coming up names on the spot. Greed… G… oh. That will work.

“Then from now on your name is Gary.” I said. No, I didn’t name him after Gary Oak. … okay, I totally did. But really, they are kind of similar. In a way. If you look up the lore story of Goblin of Greed, he has some nice backstory. Both start off with a jerkish personality, but learn from their mistakes. … okay, let’s be honest here. Goblin of Greed never learned. But I’ll hope mine never reaches the point where he will try to steal from me, because at that point I can and will just sack him for sleeves. I don’t care that I will have to waste the sleeve and toploader he is in to do that.

 

“Gary? Yes. Thank you, Master. I shall go by the name Gary from now on.” Gary accepted his new name.

“Well, I’m happy to hear that you like it. So, Gary, can you show us what I requested?”

“Yes. Of course. This way, please.” He led us back to the small hallway that was between the front room and his office, instead of into Tahlia’s room.

 

We entered one of the rooms in that corridor and were led to a small-ish room with a large window. We looked into a different room, where a group of 8 Goblin of Greeds were working, activating Upstart Goblins, Pot of Greeds and other cards that they could. On the tables they were using as work tables were Spirit of the Pot of Greeds, one for each of the four tables. There was also a Goblin King watching over them. Probably some sort of ‘Don’t even think about stealing’ watcher.
