It seems that Shahahahad came to a conclusion faster than I thought.
A few days after the garden party, Shahahahad’s messenger visited, inviting Adelian informally.
“When this job is over, there’s not much to block the rest, so I’ll negotiate today and come back.”
Why did you come to the capital in the first place? Wasn’t it because of Guardia’s doppelganger incident?
However, even after solving it roughly, what remained was for the sale of the Siren and the connection with the royal family for the later war with the church.
Also, in order to devise countermeasures after confirming how much the Evil Gods Church has infiltrated the imperial family and the academy.
‘But now there’s only one left.’
It was confirmed that the church had penetrated the academy, but had not yet reached out to the imperial family, and put the doppelganger potion on the surface to some extent.
If you know what happened to that doppelganger potion later, that’s quite an achievement.
You don’t have to watch the doppelgänger of a high-ranking nobleman enter with a mana bomb and carry out a terrorist attack at the base.
Originally, in the original version, after being beaten a little, I was aware of how much damage I suffered until I learned that potions could be dispelled with fear and pain later.
So you just have to get over it for now.
Only now.
“… Prince Adelian. Are you listening to me?”
“yes. I’m listening to you, why are you like that?”
When I said this with a smirk, Shahahahad looked at me with confused eyes, and the aide standing behind him glared at me pretending to be adjusting his glasses.
“… So what I want to say is.”
“Ah, the siren ticket? Of course, I wanted to do it with the prince. My father, heheheum. No my dogmatic! with judgment. In fact, I’ve always been that first princess… count… hehehehe. Anyway, I thought Prince Shahahahad would treat me better than him.”
When I laughed hahahahaha, Shahahahad’s brow furrowed slightly.
Maybe it’s because I look like an idiot.
“This is the result of my insistence. So you know? It’s all thanks to me. Of course, oh well… I didn’t ask for anything, hahahaha.”
“Think about 0.05%.”
Should I call it a double contract? After all, it is commonplace in this era. In the documents sent to the parent family, 0.05% was added to the interest that was supposed to be given to Prince Shahahahad, and Prince Shahahahad, on the contrary, was short of 0.05%.
And the difference is in my pocket.
And that’s a pretty big amount, but that means Shahahahad gave up his share, so he’s probably conscious of the organization of the black robes behind it.
Maybe he thought that some of the money would go into the organization.
‘One way or another, everything belongs to me.’
Of course, someone might say, ‘Oh, only 0.05%?’ ‘Is that net profit or is it deducted from sales?’ Although you can.
You know how to play gacha games a few times. how high is that number?
In addition, imagine that you can put 0.05% of the money from companies that sell cell phones on Earth into your pocket.
“… okay. The contract with the noble siren is completed with this.”
“Oh, you made an excellent choice. From a few days from now, all the sirens that fall under the capital of the Tateria Empire will be killed by Prince Shahahahad… … .”
“Stop talking about it. Do you know this?”
Shahahahad touches his temple as if he has a headache, glares at me, and pulls out a small piece of paper from the inside of his clothes.
And as soon as I saw the seal of my personal seal, I hurriedly approached him, grabbed his hand, and covered the paper. When I grabbed his hand, Shahahahad was startled and pulled his hand away.
“Shhhhh. You can’t just show me something like this.”
“Okay, step back.”
I giggled as Shahahahad burrowed into the sofa with a rare look of bewilderment, as if wanting to get away from me.
“Ihya, it’s so strange that the prince and I are on the same boat. that you showed me this Let’s see… Anything to say?”
As I held my hand and laughed lightly hahahaha, Shahahahad looked at me with unreliable eyes and opened his mouth.
“Just tell them that you are requesting release.”
And I laughed hard at the words that came out of his mouth.
“Is it possible? Prince Shahahahad.”
* * *
A few days later, the Siren began to unravel.
A crest was placed on the store that had been saved before the negotiations with the royal family to signify that the consultation with the imperial family had been completed.
“If you buy it now, you only get 1 gold and 99 silver per month for a 1st grade siren! You can meet them for 1 gold and 99 silver! In addition to the 12-month installment event, if you purchase now, you will receive a Siren-only pouch as a gift!”
“A must-have for everyone, regardless of age or gender! For those who don’t know how to use it, we’ll teach you for free!”
“My own individuality, different from others! If you are tired of the basic white and black sirens, check out the various colorful sirens!”
Taste the promotional activities of modern civilization.
Surprisingly, the production cost of the mass-produced Siren was cheap.
Well, in terms of cost, would you like to pay 10 silver? It was also a good thing that there was no development cost because there was mass production and already completed Siren prototypes.
It just took some time to find a way to downgrade and duplicate the Siren Prototype’s features as much as possible.
‘Besides, the original purpose is not to make money, but to control information.’
There is no reason to sell it too expensive. I thought I wanted to sell it cheaper. If you sold an artifact like that for less than a certain price, you’d be suspicious.
So one city, the lowest siren.
Of course, thanks to the tone of the word “lowest”, when selling, the first-class siren goes as low as possible, and after that, it starts at 1,000 gold in the name of a premium line, so the gold supply and demand is not bad.
The concept of installment, which was sometimes seen when trading between the upper ends of the continent, was released to the private sector, and the concept of a bonus was not universal here, so the sirens were sold like hot cakes.
Since it’s the imperial ecliptic, not anywhere else, it’s great that there are a lot of wealthy people overall.
“This is a revolution!”
“You don’t have to anxiously wait for a letter from your lover every day.”
“No, even if I needed lumber right away, I usually put it off until tomorrow due to the distance, but now I can just deliver it to Siren?”
At first, the reaction was to spend money on making it easy to communicate with people in this one city, which is not very far away, but the business is word of mouth everywhere you go.
Siren, which sold 8 units on the first day, increased by double digits the next day, and then hit triple digits the next day.
In addition, it seems that the perception of the so-called hip on earth has arisen, perhaps thanks to the effect of pre-sprinkling premiums on the popular nobles and the royal family, as well as priests.
Of course, there are also people who don’t like it.
“No, by selling something like that.”
“Tteing, Tsutsut. My wife said she bought it with great enthusiasm and gave it to me, but the alcohol I drank yesterday was on my neck! It seemed like it would take!”
“Now I can’t go to a bar pretending to be a night watchman.”
“you! He confirmed that he wasn’t at the bar yesterday with a siren to the person who left in the wagon early in the morning!”
“Keugh, I’m angry. Yes I killed it!”
I sipped iced lemon tea in the downtown area and grinned as I watched the whole situation.
“Oh, that’s kind of funny.”
Somehow, it feels like looking at the landscape of the earth.
Not everyone is holding it, but chattering with a siren in your hand is like the modern day of talking with hands-free earphones.
“cool. I never thought it would become so popular.”
“I know. First of all, the house next door bought it, so I feel like I live too.”
I answered with a yawn while resting my chin on Luna and Rachel’s words.
“That’s what’s fashionable.”
If you think about it, even if you don’t need it right away, if someone else bought it and it’s good, I think I should buy it too.
I feel like I’m behind because I’m not living, and according to Payan, the topic of conversation at the academy these days is siren, so it’s hard to have a small talk without it.
Then, of course, those who can afford it will beg their parents to buy it.
Of course, there are downsides to this. Children and people in families who are a little burdened to buy a siren.
‘Well, that’s because Shahahahad said he had an idea to provide a certain amount as a welfare measure to improve his image.’
Right now, it’s a transitional period since the Siren appeared, so there’s nothing special about it.
‘And what’s surprising is that the concept of eavesdropping is thinner than I thought.’
In fact, I judged that part could be the most difficult.
I thought it would be natural to assume that an artifact that allows you to talk to someone could secretly listen to it.
But maybe it’s because it’s an artifact, not a machine, so it seems that those parts are naturally ‘magically’ protected.
Of course, it seemed that the nobles and the imperial family had a little bit of awareness, but a separate inquiry came to the Kruger family.
“Now we must prepare to leave the imperial city. We’ll have to come back later, but for now, let’s be ready to move whenever Kane comes back.”
In fact, not everything has been resolved.
In particular, it is too big to dig into the work that is entangled with God on both sides. It’s not bad to step out once in a while.
I don’t know if there’s nothing to do right now, but I haven’t met all the people I want yet, so I had to visit the Namhae Islands at least once.
Infiltrating Payyan there was not intended to see a match in a short period of time, so you can proceed with knowing the situation later with the Siren.
‘Actually, this is possible because I have a lot of money so I can get on the gate anytime.’
In the end, it is a form of covering up the current situation for now, but there is no other option.
Because if something happens, you can always return to the ecliptic.
‘Most of all, I have to get the Healer’s hands first while the Storm Beads have been stolen.’
So, when Kane comes back, the children nod their heads when I say to leave for a while, even if it means returning later.
“yes. young master.”
“All right. Adelian.”
―I don’t even have to look at the library anymore. That’s right, manager.
Everyone nodded their heads in response to my words, but only Rachel looked at me with a puzzled look.
“Why are you?”
“No, there is. Aren’t you a bit harsh?”
I shrugged at Rachel’s words.
From noble mtl dot com.
“what?”
“It’s the emperor. It is one of the largest cities on the continent. I don’t go sightseeing, I only go to restaurants a few times, and I’ve never drank too much. Even if they ostracize us and go to strange places, they won’t go to the arena. You don’t go to the gambling house, you don’t go to the black market either?”
How can a human man at that age live so boringly? cried Rachel.
Nevertheless, seeing that the eyes of passers-by did not gather, it seemed that Luna, Zero, and Leaf had opened a mana curtain.
“Ha, the real Adelian. i’m worried about you life is short huh? Yongsaeng is long, but life is short, so why not have fun? You have a lot of money too! Did you just go to the black market and write from here to here?”
That’s how the economy goes back and the country goes back! I looked at Rachel, who was screaming, with a puzzled look.
In the first place, money is spent on the black market, but there is a tax attached to it. The economy is going to run like a black market economy.
“You have to speak properly. You’re using me as a shield now because you want to play, Rachel.”
Rachel’s red eyes glisten as I sigh in amazement.
“that’s right! I want to play!”
so-so-so-so. look at the honesty I look at Luna as if asking Rachel what to do, but Luna also sneaks away from me?
no.
no one else
Luna… … ?
In addition, Zero and Leaf are turning their heads so that their necks are wrinkled, trying not to make eye contact with me.
wow, is that really too much?
“actually… Rachel isn’t quite wrong… … .”
“Honestly, Adelian. You can have some fun until Kane-senpai returns.”
―I agree with the opinions of seniors.
When the three of them come out like that, Rachel looks at me with a very high spirited and spirited grin.
“Did you hear?”
madam. Without Kane, this is a disadvantage.
3:1 and 3:2 feel so different.
If only Kane was there!
“… Please listen to me for a moment. Honestly, for the sake of the atmosphere at our party, I wasn’t going to say anything like that.”
I spoke in a low voice to calm the excited Rachel.
“It’s been several days now that Kane hasn’t been in touch. kinda serious At least I have to be contacted by siren, but it’s dangerous to be cut off altogether.”
If it was at the level of Kane, he would have been able to communicate with his thoughts without holding him in his hands.
As I said with a hard face, Rachel stared at me with blood-red, ruby-like eyes and opened her mouth.
“so?”
“… uh?”
“Can any of us track down Kane? Me, Luna, Zero and Leaf always patrol the outskirts of the ecliptic. You, too, often talk to me as a siren.”
what more can we do?
I couldn’t open my mouth right away.
“We kept our mouths shut because we thought of you. Anyway, that guy is quite strong even if you think about it minus his age, but he doesn’t come back. What are you going to cry and wait for?”
… Well, I didn’t think of them, so I guess those kids thought of me too.
I have Luna with slowly worried eyes and Zero with a slightly embarrassing smile. And while looking at the riff, who seemed expressionless but cared about me, I brushed my hair.
In any case, catching the Demon King was sacrificed in the original work, but it was not impossible.
My goal was to make them as enjoyable and happy as possible, but on the contrary, I shouldn’t make them nervous or anxious.
So we just made eye contact. With the eyes of those children looking at me.
“good. I’ll play with you if you want.”
I have anxiety about Kane, but in fact, I believe in the main character Bojeong even if it’s not a feeling of floating, so what’s left is Luna and Zero, Leaf and Rachel’s mental management.
Even if the worst happens, you can buy the ‘miracle’ in the basement along with the continental version monkey hand item.
I laughed slowly.
