78 A Strange Date Between Him and Her

Vice Lord Ben and Rookie both turned to her in confusion. To clarify her words, she began to speak calmly.

“It’s very good to have a limited sale. But in the end, limited sales will also run into its limits.”

When they heard her explanation, Vice Lord Ben tilted his head while Rookie’s eyes were widened in surprise. Rookie, a person who had gone pretty high up in ranks, believed that this maid was just talking nonsense.

“Don’t say anything strange in front of the Vice Lord. Leave.”

“No. I didn’t say anything strange. I definitely can raise it by 700%.”

Haze was confident with her words. He could see that Ben was partial but Rookie couldn’t help but jump up in anger.

“How dare you! Where do you think you are...!”

“Rookie. Sit down. Let’s listen to her words.”

“.....!”

Rookie sat down huffing as he tried to calm down after hearing Vice Lord Ben’s words. Well, he just decided to listen to her words and scold her for her strange nonsense after.

“Speak.”

Ben spoke to her graciously. There was only one reason why Ben was smiling kindly to her. It was because she spoke up when she had an opinion. She did not even hide it and put it forward. Having something like that could become her biggest weapon.

“Instead of having limited sales, I think we should introduce it more. Your hair will grow once you enter Valhalla Territory. That’s what we should tell them.”

“How so?”

“If we do that, then people will naturally come here.”

Right now, if Ben decided to follow Rookie’s proposal and leak the information that the hair growth was limited most of their guests would only be nobles.

Rookie also protested against Haze’s words.

“You don’t even know the B in business. Don’t you know that it’s better to sell a small number of toys worth 10 platinum than sell a large number of toys worth 500 gold? In addition, hair loss and baldness is something that anyone with money will be willing to buy. If you apply them to the nobles, then a dramatic effect will definitely be created.”

Haze nodded silently as she calmly accepted his words.

“You’re correct. However, what I’m thinking is a little different. First of all, the people’s hair were growing thanks to Sir Corr’s ‘Athenae’s Prayer’ and recorder. The scope of this prayer and recorder can be very wide. It is a power that can be delivered to a wide area with the help of a microphone. Of course, if they heard it through the microphone then the effect would be weak. But still, people will be able to grow their hair once they enter Valhalla Territory. Then, through word of mouth, even those without money, will flock to this place.”

“......Continue.”

“Whether we gain money or not, we will still be able to attract a lot of people. And for the people who come here, where will they sleep, eat and buy souvenirs? Of course it’s here in Valhalla Territory.”

“Hoo? In other words, more money will come out once people come in and out of the territory?”

“That’s correct.”

Both Rookie and Ben nodded at Haze’s words. When Rookie thought about it, he couldn’t help but smile widely.

“You’re a more discerning child than I thought.”

Rookie too was welcoming of a budding child who could grow well. However, Rookie thought that his suggestion was still better than this.

“However, this will increase labor costs. In my proposal, labor cost will become minimal while we can create the maximum efficiency. This is a way to make money with no effort at all. But yours is making money using a lot of effort. Making 300% increase in profit effortlessly and making a 300% increase in profit with extreme hard work are two different things.”

This was business. They should also value the labor costs and human rights.

However, Haze just asked him with a soft smile on her face.

“So Rookie-nim is saying this because you think your method is better overall, right?”

“Of course.”

Ben also looked like he agreed with Rookie. But Haze decided to give them a critical blow.

“What will you do if I say that we should put an incredibly high price on our territory’s specialties?”

“Specialty?”

“We can see a lot of different benefits from commoners and if we tell them that if they eat this specialty the effect of treating their hair loss will increase by several times. Just like I said earlier, Sir Corr’s prayer and recorder will only have a minimal effect through the microphone. This minimal effect will make both the commoners and nobles come here and increase the number of people visiting our territory. Once they come here, that’s when we will announce it. ‘There’s a food that will help you increase the effect of treating hair loss’. A prime example will be the Voltonis Merchants.”

The Voltonis Merchants was one of the famous department stores. They sell extremely expensive and valuable items. But...

“The Voltonis Merchants only sell expensive things but their items are also accessible to commoners. They have a lot of platinum worthy and rare items that commoners dare not look at. But does that mean that they’re not able to sell it?”

Rookie couldn’t answer her.

They can sell it. No, they can’t sell it because they don’t have enough stocks.

It was because of ‘scarcity’.

“Nobles want to have ‘rare and scarce’ items. Of course, Rookie-nim’s words meant that we should limit the sales and make it rare and scarce. But if we use my method, then we can attract tourists.”

Haze grinned at them brightly.

“We can still do limited sales. That’s why I said that we can generate more than 700% increase as an effect.”

Both Ben and Rookie were speechless.

That was right. They did not need to emphasize the rareness and scarcity of their items just to appeal to the nobles. All they had to do was make them come here and let them buy their specialty that were only made one by one in their territory. Since the number of tourists would increase and Rookie’s proposal could also be done, they would really be able to make more than 700% increase in profits.

Haze once again smiled softly when she saw the two of them pondering over her words.

Ben just tilted his tea cup as he smiled pleasantly.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

Just like what was mentioned before, the Demon World’s Tower was like a miniature Demon World. The Demon World’s Tower was divided into plenty of sections on the ‘General’ floors, of course this was not the case on the ‘Trial’ floors. On those floors, there were also territories, cities, kingdoms and even empires.

“About 8 meters in height.”

“Really?”

“Of course. Can I even lie if I’m in a place where there are a lot of demons like you?”

The demons shook their heads before disappearing in front of him. They told him that they would go and make a report first. Then, after a while, they came back and led Minhyuk inside the Lord’s castle. In the end, he successfully entered the place. The lord of this territory, Ankheseramun, had one of the fragments of the golden crown so he definitely needed to meet with her.

The door to the lord’s audience room opened. He could see a woman sitting on a chair by the end of a long red carpet. She even had her legs crossed as she looked at them imposingly.

“You asked to see me?”

“That’s right, my lady.”

Minhyuk greeted her politely.

“What’s your business with me?”

“I need the fragment of the golden crown.”

“......!”

Ankheseramun’s eyes widened when she heard his words. She looked like she was flustered for a while but she still spoke calmly.

“It’s an item that I can’t give to just anyone.”

“I’m not trying to get it out of you without something in return either.”

“......Do you mean the water?”

Ankheseramun knew that he was trying to make a deal with her. However, the golden crown fragment was an item that she could not trade even if water had become precious to them.

‘If he can appease Queen Baphomet, then I will give him the fragment.’

Getting water is different from getting her back to the way she used to be. The former was only a stopgap measure but the latter would help them become drought free for a long time.

“The golden crown cannot be exchanged with water. Instead, if you give me water then I’ll grant you one thing that you want.”

“Then, the most delicious thing here. That’s what I want.”

Ankheseramun tilted her head in confusion.

Just something delicious?

But before she could even ask him that, something unexpected suddenly happened.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa―

Queen Baphomet came out of the summoning room all by herself.

“You, you!!!”

Ankheseramun was agitated. The queen of her stronghold’s Baphomets couldn’t be controlled at all. But then......

Something really strange happened. Queen Baphomet was staring at Minhyuk. Then......

Her cheeks glowed red.

“......?”

“......?”

Both Minhyuk and Ankheseramun couldn’t understand the situation. But what Queen Baphomet did next was something that was more shocking. She suddenly pulled her hair, no... her black fleece, behind her ears as she shyly glanced at him. It seemed like she was trying to show off her beauty.

“......”

That was when Ankheseramun realized something.

‘Did you do that because you wanted to mate......?!!!’

Isn’t this weird? No, come to think of it, Queen Baphomet has a slightly lower intelligence than the average demons.

And such a being had not met a male in her 200 years of life. Perhaps this phenomenon was not that unusual. After all, it was obvious that most living beings would want to pair with a mate.

So the question is...... why would you even look at a human like that?

Then, right at that moment......

Flaaaaaash―

Minhyuk’s summoning room opened by itself. Then, another Baphomet also appeared. Then, Queen Baphomet’s eyes began to glow.

The Baphomet that appeared in front of her had an elegant figure. He had glossy black fur, finely raised horns, round eyes and solid and firm thighs that resembled the thighs of a beautiful horse.

A fine note of music floated over Queen Baphomet’s head.

Destiny~~~

This is fate. That’s what this is!!!

And......

Gulp―

Queen Baphomet suddenly gulped.

Ankheseramun supported her forehead.

‘Why are you gulping?!!!’

You know, I completely forgot Minhyuk had that.
