When I asked him what the hell he was up to all day, he said that he played Go, which I taught him yesterday. As soon as I heard it, I understood it.
Originally, Baduk is a relentless board game for beginners, but if people with similar skills compete against each other, it will be a fierce battle of numbers.
Especially since all the people around me are only smart people, it’s obvious that I’ll spend more than a few hours.
“Just once! I drew the big picture! So wait a minute!”
“No. At least eat breakfast.”
“Can’t we do this while having breakfast?”
“·······”
Just like right now. Unlike the others, Cecily and Arwen stayed up all night with the unique physical strength of their race.
But playing Go all night long could be seen as a sign of serious addiction, so I threw it out right away.
It doesn’t matter if you do it all night, but at least eat and do it.
“If you keep doing that, I’ll forcefully take it away. You don’t need my attention, do you?”
“······sorry.”
“I’ll take care of that…”

Nevertheless, I did not think that I would fall all the way, so I stepped forward. No matter how much I fell in love with Go, I gave up on him saying that I wouldn’t pay any attention to him, and he quietly backed away.
Of course, I didn’t forget to pay attention to the checkerboard. It’s only been a short break, but the stones on the checkerboard are still lying there.
I looked at it and shook my head. How could a demon famous for being patient react like that?
I realized the dangers of baduk again. I wondered if it was for nothing, but it’s understandable because there is very little entertainment culture.
“Isaac. Can I use that as it is? I think it will have a pretty good influence on the culture.”
Lina, who had spent the night watching Cecily and Arwen’s match, invited me with a sobbing voice.
Dark circles did not come down because she only slept for one night, but her blue eyes, which had suddenly become fuller, clearly expressed her fatigue.
Baduk is an interesting sport not only for those who play it, but also for those who watch it, so it is a natural result.
“Do whatever you want. Just keep in mind that the original line is 19 lines and not 13 lines. Oh, and don’t pay it right away, I’ll clean it up a bit. Some words in Zenon’s biography are derived from Go.”
“I see. So, are there any other board games other than Go? I think you know a lot.”
“Well. It’s not a board game, it’s a sport, but it’s a big difference between races, so it’s only going to have a big effect on humans.”
Lina nodded her head to see if that was enough, and listened to my story. It didn’t bother me because I was repeating a story I had already said once.
Then she slowly recorded my explanations in a notebook she had brought from somewhere.
Other than that, it would be invaluable for the Minerva Empire as it was an opportunity to supplement the lack of cultural power.
“Thank you. For now, I think it would be better to focus on Go rather than the sport. You can play these board games anywhere as long as you have the equipment…”
Did he use his head a lot while watching the game? Lina’s eyes began to slowly close, smiling at the development of the empire.
I must have been tired because of the recent rush of work, but it’s only natural that I stayed up all night.
“Koh…”
eventually fell apart. I gasped as I looked at Lina, who was leaning back on her chair and trying to sleep.
As much as she looks elegant, she sleeps like a princess in the forest. Still, if you sleep like this, you may get a sore throat, so it’s better to move it.
At this, I carefully placed Lina on the bed. By the way, in this spacious bed, not only her but also Marie and Adelia are sleeping side by side.
After spending the night watching Cecily and Arwen’s match, they were all lying in the same bed.
This alone is enough to make the situation outrageous, but more importantly, the two women playing Go.
“Why don’t you hurry up and do it? If you grunt like that, time will go by.”
“Si, it’s noisy! If you wait a little…”
I eat breakfast and do it again. I wanted to tell him to do it in moderation, but I gave up right away.
Still, the two have a competitive spirit with each other, and it’s my fault for introducing them to the Devil’s Game.
I took turns looking at Cecily, who shrugged as if she had won, and Arwen, who was in trouble, and went outside.
There are a lot of cases with only 13 lines, but how long would 19 lines take? I was worried that I might have just told you.
‘Still, it’s better than no play at all.’
It’s a world where the entertainment culture hasn’t been developed, so that’s a good thing. To be honest, it doesn’t matter if I fall for today.
Because today I have someone I need to meet. In other words, you can focus your attention on that person.
Then I walked to the rest room. The person I will meet has already arrived at the mansion and has been contacted before.
quiver-
“Ah! Are you here!”
“Hello, Mr. Musk.”
When I entered the room, Musk, who had an impressive body and mustache, greeted me with a bright smile.
I also met him after a long time, so he gave me a soft smile.
As you can see, the person I decided to meet is Musk, not Leona. Leona hasn’t arrived at our mansion yet.
The time I was supposed to meet with her was after lunch, so there’s plenty of time left. In particular, she plans to spend the night with her beyond the evening.
“How have you been?”
“Heh heh heh. I’m always doing well thanks to Isaac.”
“You seem to have lost some weight for that?”

Not a word of mouth, in fact, Musk has lost a little more weight than he had seen before.
The plump cheeks that I was proud of during the summer vacation were noticeably gone, and my clothes felt a bit loose.

Musk himself smirked as if he knew this.
“Heh heh heh. I’ve been busy living, so I’ve been losing weight on my own. Besides, I’ve been worried that something’s wrong with Isaac’s life lately.”
“What about me? For what reason?”
“When I read Book 29, I thought Isaac had been kidnapped by a demon worshiper. I thought that only the devil could write such a vicious development.”
“·······”
Come to think of it, there is something my mother told me before. The plot is so terrifying that it must have been written by a demon worshiper.
Of course, I was in the Imperial Palace at the time, so I couldn’t reply to the publisher. Maybe that’s why he was worried.
I smiled bitterly at Musk who was laughing haphazardly. Even though the timing was tricky, it was too clever.
“Well, there were a lot of things like that. Besides, the ending also led to Jin’s death.”
“Thanks to you, our windows almost broke. Heh heh heh.”
“······sorry.”
“No. There’s nothing to be sorry about. I knew this and bought a spare in advance, and the original work should be used the way the artist wants it. Isaac-nim was generous.”
When I was truly sorry, Musk waved his hands to dry them. However, the fact that I became an unfair victim because of me has not changed.
‘Actually, Musk is the most dangerous.’
As my reputation grows, so does Musk. In the past, they were even attacked by demon worshipers, and the printing house was blown up last time.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Musk, unlike other people, is only a wealthy commoner. There is plenty of room for attack from several places.
If Xenon’s biography had remained just such a work, it would have remained a normal business relationship. But now I can’t.
In addition, in the future, he plans to publish a work that may have a greater impact than Xenon’s biography.
The impact on Musk has grown when it is greater than it is now, but it cannot be reduced.
“Didn’t the demon worshipers do the harm, not the readers?”
“It’s been quiet lately. The printing office branch in the Duchy of Velois was destroyed, but it’s been quiet again since the event. It’s hard to tell what’s going on, but it’s still quiet.”
“It’s an event… How is the current event going?”
“Until recently, I was a little daunted, but…”
And then Musk looks at me. It seems that Jin’s death had a huge impact on the event.
That’s probably because all the world’s attention was focused on Jin’s death. Wasn’t even a funeral held yesterday?
“Isaac-sama said he’s changing the ending, so it’s going to go smoothly again.”
“I’m glad. Do you know who stands out at the event?”
“Yes. Roy and Anne are adventurers. And…”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Musk began to explain the situation related to the event. Even if there is a side story left, the main story is finished, so you have to pay attention to the event.
Perhaps it will end after releasing a side story with Clark as a motif.
Still, the subjugation of the demon worshipers will continue. Already, the atrocities committed by the demon worshipers have been exposed to a level that cannot be covered only.
Even if it’s not an event, I’ve heard at first glance that the denomination or national level rewards them. So there is no big problem if you quit without worry.
“So you’re saying there are two side stories in total? One is the story of Jin and Lily, and the other is the story of a hidden hero?”
“Yes. I don’t know about the first one, but the second one will have a big impact in a different way.”
“Why?”
“The main character dies by taking a cigarette at the end.”
“Hey, can you elaborate on that?”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Musk clasped his hands and asked if he had smelled money in my explanation with a serious expression.
Even after time passed, I smiled at him as he was still the same when it came to money, but then I explained it step by step.
I’m not talking about the whole plot, just the ending. Still, that would be more than enough to keep Musk’s head taut.
“That’s a wonderful ending. It seems to awaken the romance of adventurers and mercenaries who don’t know when to die. But what company’s product is that cigarette?”
“yes?”
But when a completely unexpected question flew in, I panicked again. It was a bit of a strange question, but what company’s cigarette was all of a sudden…
“There are many tops in this world, Isaac. If a particular top product is depicted in the Xenon biography, it will only be a matter of time before the sales of that top skyrocket.”
“I know that.”
“This is the most important thing. To receive a certain amount of money from a specific company and to portray it in a work to gain greater recognition. In the process, I plan to collect companies and auction them. I will.”
“·······”
That’s ‘sponsorship’. As I listened to Musk’s explanation, I managed to suppress my mouth open in embarrassment.
I was just saying the ending, but thinking about it in an instant. When it comes to money, he is a man whose head is spinning at an unbelievable speed.
It didn’t even harm the development of the abduction. Because nothing changes from my point of view.
But it wasn’t entirely without concern.
“It’s not bad, but… is it really necessary? You can just put any cigarette in it.”
“Hmmmm. Sir Isaac. You may not know that Isaac is a non-smoker, but as a smoker, he tends to stick to his cigarettes. Except for world tree cigars that are insanely expensive.”
“·······”
Somehow, Grandpa Clark likes world tree leaf cigars. It was common to all smokers.
“Besides, each has a different look, smell, and taste. You describe the smell and taste of a cigarette right before you die, and close your eyes slowly. Then the reader will only know what kind of top this cigarette is at the end. “
“Oh, I didn’t know until that point. I should add that too. Anything else?”
“Actually, this is the most important part. If the Gaiden comes out, at least the sales of cigarettes will soar, and if that happens, the seniors will clench their teeth and say. Cigarettes from the Gaiden are our top products!”
“Can’t we just call it a virtual product?”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Musk smiled weakly, as if it was unreasonable at that question, and said in a sharp voice.
“People don’t believe it easily, and we want to stop such a dispute before it happens. Of course, this is noisy, but I’ll take care of it, and Isaac won’t have to worry about the media.”
“Won’t the other bosses hate me?”
I don’t like making bad enemies. I am far from the style of making enemies for the sake of a goal.
However, that was only for ‘personal’ feelings, and Musk knew more about the top.
“If you hate him, that top end is there. Besides, if you hate Isaac, will the money you roll in will increase even by 1 gold? Maybe. That’s your business, and Isaac goes his own way, just as Isaac’s business is his own.”
“Mr. Musk.”
“Yes, tell me.”
“Why is Mr. Musk working for a publishing house?”
I was genuinely curious. Why was a person with such resourcefulness only selling books?
Even with immediate sponsorship, this is a strategy that can only come from a world where culture has developed for several centuries.
There is no legal problem, there is no law related to that in this world yet.
While I marveled at Musk’s insight, he fiddled with his well-groomed mustache and opened his mouth in embarrassment.
“I never dreamed that it would turn out so well. As my body grew, my dreams naturally grew bigger. Heh heh heh.”
“I’m so glad Mr. Musk is on my side.”
“I don’t know what to put my body on because Isaac-nim says so. I really have to say it.”
It’s still a class system, so if the current era is saturated with capitalism, how much fame will Musk have?
Being semi-capitalist in fact, Musk is gaining a huge shield for the country. Here’s to great wealth.
It is only meaningful to make money, and if you look at it, it has little ambition itself. Do you feel satisfied with just making money?
“Hmmmm. Isaac-nim?”
“Yes, tell me.”
“Actually, I brought a present today.”
Shameful, Musk showed me the small box lying next to him.
It was a box the size of the palm of my hand, but it was neatly packaged even though I did not know what was in it.
What the hell is this I got it once, but I didn’t know what it was, so I looked at him.
Then he coughed, glanced at me, and then explained the gift.
“It’s a drug made with great care by a famous alchemist. The effect is… Yes. I can only say that it’s good for men.”
“…is it good for men?”
“Yes. Yes. Isaac-nim is young, so he will be able to enjoy a greater effect than me. Thanks to this, my relationship with my wife has improved a lot. Heh heh heh.”
I think you know roughly what it is. Somehow, there were many children, so it was because of this.
I think I will probably use it very usefully today. There is no other race that has as strong physical strength as Su-in, who has entered the estrus phase.
I burst into laughter, then suddenly a question came to mind and I asked him a question.
“How about commercializing this as well?”
And the answer comes back.
“Unfortunately, mass production is almost impossible…
That was indeed the answer.
