บท 28: Testing the water (Last part)
"Let's do it like this plan." Ballmon Bear nods toward Daz Coba and Sabo Kalle in agreement for their plan.
"Since that clan close their front door and only buying these waste materials. Even sleeping at night, I still laugh while dreaming about it." Daz Coba takes a sip of lovely his ginger wine after commenting on it. He loves this wine's strong taste and the sensation of fire when it enters his mouth till it reaches the belly.
"Since they come here, even though their business isn't the same as ours, but our wealth has dropped quite a few margins. I don't even have time to go to Hundred Flowers yard." Sabo Kalle said while looking at his best buddy.
"What are you talking about? After we chase them away, you can have as many ladies in the Hundred Flowers yard as you like, right? Come, come, cheer for our bright future." Daz Coba also misses there, but since it is Ballmon Bear requested for them to restrain themselves. They can only follow suit.
----------
"What did you just say?" The three people who are currently immersed in their conversation, all looking toward the thin bald servant who had just enter.
"They are advertising a new product that never seen before. This is what their promoted content about..." Baldy trembles by the sight of three men looking straight at him with their eyes open wide. He tries to calm down but his voice is still shaky when he elaborated on what he heard from Diana's clan propaganda to Ballmon Bear.
"Finally, the little turtle comes out of its shell." Without even thinking too much, Daz Coba smile and said.
"I thought they are going to stay in that shell forever." Sabo Kalle sipped his entire cup in one go with a cheerful smile.
Yet Ballmon Bear's happy expression face becomes a bit frowned. Because what he thinks is different from them.
"Do you know when will they start selling it?" Ballmon Bear needs to know the specific detail before he can execute his plan out. The longer they hold back the selling date the better for his plan to execute successfully.
Baldy replies immediately with what he heard from Diana clan: "They said they will start selling in two weeks from now."
"We have to start our plan faster than we expect." Ballmon Bear doesn't know what Diana clan is going to do, but it will never be a piece of good news for him.
Right, it is impossible to claim something that they cannot do, the only possible way is they had found a new thing to replace candle usage. No one here knows how the candle was made because it was imported from a faraway place.
---------
The Sun city infrastructure can not compare to the imperial city in the Storm Country. But with around one million people as a resident, there are also traders, adventurers who come and go freely between different city. This city still a lively place and big for the current Diana clan.
It is still a very big task for them to spread the news to every inch of the city with their small network and business in the city. After going out to advertise around for an entire week, Mazaque Diana can finally get some rest as he returns to the clan full of fighting spirit. He needs to manage it himself because he wanted to see the puzzle expression from the resident and he wanted to see their delight with it when it releases to the public.
----------
This is the starting place of everything. He wants to engrave the picture of this place to the very day of his life comes to an end. Because this place will create a new era for his clan, for this city, and even the world. But he knows that the path in the future will become more thorny than before because not everyone wants to see his clan raise above their head. The light in the workshop is still on even it is already nearly midnight.
What comes into his line of sight make Mazaque Diana, who happened to pass by here, is triggered by this unusual sight. Who is staying in there? What are they doing at this late hour? As he comes in, the first one in his line of sight is his grandson, Marado. After he comes closer to Marado, he surprised to see Rosa still busy with those unnecessary work that can be completed the next morning. It seems that she did not know that her younger brother is standing nearby as she immersed too deep that she even forgot the time to rest. This entire week he did not return home at all because of advertisement work.
"Marado, how long has your sister staying here?"
"After we decided to release the news to the public, from that day on every day since morning until evening, no it is midnight, and she did not even return for lunch or dinner. If I don't bring it for her, she might not think about having it, too."
"Grandpa, you have to do something. I don't want to see her becoming like this."
"What did you say?" the high spirit face of Mazaque become solemnly all of a sudden.
Mazaque murmur and seemed to ask himself: "Why did she suddenly become like this?"
Yet Marado catches a gleam of it and he replied: "I know it, grandpa. But, but..."
Mazaque knocks on Marado's forehead after that he presses on his shoulder: "Why don't you tell me a bit faster? What are you afraid of? Still not talk? I don't teach you to be a little girl, right? Why are you shy all of a sudden?"
"You have to protect me then. If you don't protect me, I think she will kill me if I tell you." Marado doesn't give in no matter what. If Mazaque did not take responsibility, he would be dead for sure.
"Hmm." after think for it for awhile Mazaque nods his head.
Marado still not believe him because every time his big sister bully him his grandpa always turns a blind eye.
"No, this time you have to protect me for sure. If you don't protect me, I will never tell you about it." Marado will never believe his grandpa.
"Kid, you don't even believe your own grandpa's word. Have I ever going back on my word? You can tell me, now." Mazaque expression becomes dignified all of a sudden.
"When I was seven years old, my big sister force me to wear female clothes and bring me out to play. It is okay at that time, I was naive and don't know anything. But when I just reach twelve years old that she put makeup on me as a girl, too, and later on... But at that time where you are. I pleaded for you to restrain her many times." Marado never wanted to remember those embarrassing moments of his childhood.
"I don't remember seeing you at that time." How is it possible for Mazaque to acknowledge that he knows about it. What has had happened? He knew every single thing, but at that time he thought that this little boy will never remember it.
"..."
"Could you two stop, please? Don't you see I am busy with work here?" Rosa finally gets irritated with her little brother and grandfather.
"What are both of you doing here?" Rosa stands up and sketches herself for a bit after sitting for along time.
"Nope, we are just taking some fresh air, don't we Marado?" Mazaque already thought of an excuse while his hand lightly pinch on Marado waist.
"Yes, yes, we are taking some fresh air." Marado can only nod his head in agreement while trying not to laugh at Mazaque. How will Rosa buy this lie? As he has stayed here with her since noon.
"Oh, since you are taking fresh air, you can continue." Rosa then continues to do her work without even look at them again.
------------
"It is already two in the morning, yet she does not even go back to her room for rest. Even she is at elemental body refiner, her body will not be able to endure if this continues without any solution." Both grandpa and grandson looking at each other while sitting not far away from the workshop.
------------
"William dodges it!"
Nacorn jumps straight at the beast as he borrows the momentum from the explosive force of his left leg that kicks on the bear-like spirit beast. The paw of the spirit beast that just heavily punches toward William as he avoids it with just a few slight centimeters missing. These beasts have an appearance similar to a bear yet the fur on its body replace with the sharp of quills instead of the soft fur.
William feels his body starting to sweating. If he did not dodge it on time, he might already become a cold body. So this is what Rosa means by the brutal world, he never thought that these beasts are so hard to meet head-on against it. It seems he has to store up some useful material in the future, in case the situation needed it.
Two weeks have already passed since they had ventured into the deep of the forest, and tonight is a bit special compared to rest. As for why this is happening, it has to take back to a few days ago before tonight's arrival.
