Promising business, I have a feeling that my business will succeed. Money is not always the solution for everything, but all solutions clearly require money to achieve success.
To become strong in a world full of monsters and dangers, money is definitely needed. It would be the end for me if my source of income for gaining power was in an unstable state.
This world wasn't as simple as a plain stupid game, defeating monsters, Obtaining items and then getting stronger, it wasn't enough to gain complete advantage. Most important of all is the ability to see, feel and hear, in other words, valuable information that can change a person's destiny.
But even though possessing strong fighting strength and having tons of learned information, they ultimately needed skills to be able to manage it all. It is very important to have complete understanding.
And access to be able to achieve it all, of course, can be obtained if I have a lot of money.
Stepping on the ground that was starting to snow, Kyle's coat was slightly lifted as the cold wind came over him. Around Kyle, people in military uniforms with long coats, were standing on several huge monsters.
In order to get the hang of the new weapon, it seemed the people in the military would rather use it directly to defeat monsters in the forest than just experimenting with sticks.
Therefore, the military personnel numbering about 200 people went to a forest which was quite far from the city to test weapons. And as the salesperson, Irina and I went with them to witness the weapons demonstration in person.
Hmp.. This is how a normal business should work, providing products to people and then they inspect the quality of the weapons. It would make perfect sense if they asked for in-person testing.
What I was worried about was still within my calculations, it looked safe even though I was in a place where monsters could appear at any time, the soldiers looked strong no matter how I looked at them.
Knights with shining swords, mages with fire and lightning magic and then shooters with their new rifles, it didn't matter how many or how big monsters would come here, all of that would be an added reward.
Huge monster corpses with sharp claws, my eyes could see mammoth-like monsters and huge wolves easily defeated. These soldiers were extraordinary, I didn't think that any danger would threaten me, strong soldiers with their commander named Harold then Irina and now my lucky charm were also here.
Everything is complete and very well planned, this is why preparation is important.
"Everything is going according to plan, this is probably going to work." Kyle muttered as he looked up.
A huge mountain that is blue because it is covered by air from a far distance, looks quite beautiful when I see it many times. I then turned towards my lucky charm to tell her what I was thinking.
"Zen, this may be your first job, but I can assure you, as long as we don't try to fight monsters, the monsters won't attack us and you'll get a handsome reward without even needing to draw a sword from its scabbard."
"Fumu... That sounds interesting. "
"Of course.. That's a good decision, you're not stupid enough to turn down the job offer I made. Im impressed with you. "
There's no need, I don't need to fight, if I do fight, I have to be in a situation where I will definitely win, I don't want to cause trouble just like what happened in the dungeon. That's what I want to say in a situation like this.
Zen then looked at me, I could see from his eyes that school life was very boring, he looked a bit excited while wearing the white coat and Magic sword I gave him.
Relaxing in a new environment will make one's mood feel better, even though the school's lessons are unreasonable but there are lots of students working hard to get the best grades except for me and Irina, so it's only natural that some students have reached a certain level of stress, that's the reason why Zen didn't hesitate a bit when I asked him to be a bad luck amulet, huf— I mean, as a bodyguard.
"For now, I'll probably be going to a certain place, so hoping for your help to protect me personally. Of course it is, not a dangerous place, it would just be going to other cities or just looking at some business in a remote place, there will also be a lot of people involved so it's not just you."
"Involving a lot of people? Fumu.. As expected, I look forward to working with you in the future. "
Yes, Zen also seems to think so. Safety is important, of course, avoid danger and earn profits.
Just as I started imagining, the family business would be in a better position with stable profits, Zen then opened another conversation with something I didn't quite understand.
".. Hmm.. Mr. Kyle, I want to ask, what does Queen mean on a chessboard? I have to confirm whether my judgment is correct or not."
Not many people were interested in chess, in a situation like this, full of corpses of monsters and armed soldiers he was talking about chess, seriously, Zen must be in a certain level of stress. But it looks like it will make Zen happy, this guy has a hobby of playing chess.
"Like you said, rook means battering ram, then Queen— it would be a sort of executor, an executor who has more power than anyone else to change the battlefield on a chessboard."
Somehow, what I said to Zen was useless. I just went along with what he said earlier, it's like a game of interpretation, just like fortune tellers playing tarot cards. Yes, I think so.
"Executor? it will mean a lot of work for me in the future," Zen replied to Kyle with a half-shocked expression.
As I thought, he was indeed at a certain point of stress. This idiot, trying to say something that has absolutely nothing to do with it. I then returned to answer with a small smile.
"Yeah, maybe, like I said before. You don't have to draw your sword and fight monsters, it will just be a small game in a shady room. "
I'm not kidding, the decisive starting point for my business is here. I did hear that Irina was planning to do business with the rebel elves in the demon-occupied city, but that might not work, that half-demon woman in disguise, hasn't given any news until now. So, establishing business cooperation with the military is still the main focus, I have to keep this in mind.
I saw Zen's reaction once again, he seemed to think about what I said. Everything I said was partly true, in the future, the job of writing documents or reviewing them would be a convenient task, and I'm sure Zen would probably interpret it that way.
However, it then becomes something else. Zen, he opened his mouth as he looked around.
"Without drawing a sword? A little game in the shaded room? it will mean a shadow. If this matches what I think, could it have something to do with the presidential election?"
What logic do you use? Earlier he was talking about chess and now he was talking about politics. Tch, this precious talisman, even though he's just a fool. But—enough, I couldn't help but to close my eyes for a moment.
All I have to do now is follow, this is still a small price to avoid bad luck.
I then saw Irina who was doing business with some military officers and then looked back at Zen.
"Regarding that, the stage for the show will mostly be done by Irina, there will be a very loud fireworks as the opening."
"This is the first time you say stage. Wait, if your fiancé does it, maybe some of the audience will be disappointed. Why don't you do it yourself? Or is this part of a plan?"
"For the time being, I can't do it myself, but, I'm sure, the fireworks that have been prepared will make some of the audience rejoice when they explode over the night sky. Exploding like bubbles and will scatter in all directions, the night sky will be ablaze with light and the day will be covered by a mist of darkness. "
Honestly, that last one is cool, but that sounds like a kid just stepping into youth. Holy shit, this is starting to feel really embarrassing.
What I said actually had no meaning, but what I wanted to say was merely about political matters as it was entirely Irina's business, because it was my fiancé who played the political game in the first place. Right now, I'm completely focused on my family's company which is on the verge of bankruptcy.
I then looked at Zen, he was still trying to understand what I was saying. He then answered me in a low voice.
"Fireworks spreading in all directions, that's a great opening. I wonder what this all means," Zen said before continuing.
"But I'm confused, what role will I get in the opening? Obviously, you're asking me to do something. "
"Helped Irina with some minor problems. That would probably be your job, yes, something like lighting a small fire to burn the wick. I'll also join in when I'm done with my work."
Actually you don't have to do anything, And what can you even do? Right now, I feel like an idiot when I talk to you. While I didn't understand most of what he was saying, he seemed rather pleased with what the two of us were talking about. We walk two different paths.
Really, sometimes I feel like I wrote something wrong. This might feel a bit dark and serious, at least in the next dozen chapters. But will this still be in Comedy Limits? What do you think. No, I'm sorry, you guys haven't read it.
