CHAPTER 18: Houtau Girls CollectionThe Blind Point of UliminusUliminus Blind Point

Pack (01/02)

NT (A few days ago): Yeah, honestly, I have no excuses for the delay this time … I just wasn’t in the mood to start earlier. I could have done it, definitely, but I didn’t … oh well, it doesn’t matter. Errrm, how is everything here? Meh, no changes. Protests here, demonstrations over there, and classes canceled everywhere. Besides that… nothing. And me? I’m fine, happily locked in my room.

NT2 (At the present time): I’m really, really sorry for the delay. I was really busy with some personal matters, and I ended up in a horrible place isolated from everything for a while … but well, I’m finally free … more or less.

◇◇ CRYLORD CASTLE • OFFICE ◇◇

The Queen Princess seemed to have turned into a simple pile of ashes on her desk.

This was the result of working tirelessly for seven days in a row in order to finish filling up the piles of documents that kept coming to her for signature.

Right now, she had her face buried in one of those piles of documents.

The contents of that enormous amount of documents were complaints and requests to deal with a certain unscrupulous company that was doing suspicious work.

For some reason, the reports of damages caused by Demons had stopped arriving during the last few days, however, at the same time, the reports on this unscrupulous company began to increase considerably.

This was a big problem for Queen Princess.

If it were just some requests to subjugate the Demons, then she would just have to dispatch the Knight Corps and Guards to take care of the problem.

However, if she sent the Knights to take over this Unscrupulous Company, there was no doubt that they would escape immediately just to restart their business immediately in another place where they could remain hidden. And if she sent the Knights again, they would just escape again… and that way, the cycle would be repeated over and over again without showing signs of coming to an end.

「Queen Princess-sama!」

「Are you all right, Queen Princess-sama !?」

The Queen Princess could barely hear what her butlers and servants shouted as they ran towards when she began to lose consciousness.

… Ha~a… I want to eat… cake…

◆ ◇ VARIETY STORE ÛGO ◇ ◆

「Make clothes?」, asked Furio surprised after Uliminus, the store manager, told him that when he got to work.

In front of such Furio, Uliminus, with her arms crossed, said.「Recently, some extravagant clothing has become fashionable among the young women of the Royal Capital nya.

That’s why I decided to partner with Elmens, a nearby clothing store, which specializes in making elegant and extravagant clothing, but has a low sales rate. I thought helping them increase their sales would be a good business nya 」, with a satisfied look.

「You have recently been sending me to buy cloth from the Silk Fleece of Naniwa City, is this the reason?」

「That’s right nya」

After saying that, Uliminus looked at the pile of cloth, piled up in the warehouse, that Furio had been buying for some time.

「All we have to do is let Elmens take over the nya fabric. Even a Goblin would be able to do this job well nya」, said Uliminus as she laughed out loud.

「I see, as expected of Uliminus, it seems that you have thought very deeply about this」, saisd Furio with interest as he glanced at Uliminus.

◆ ◇ SOME HOURS LATER • RECEPTION ROOM AT THE BACK OF THE VARIETY STORE ÛGO ◇ ◆

「What, is this nya…」

Uliminus frowned in bewilderment in front of Elmens, the Owner of the Elmens Clothing Store, who had come for a meeting.

In front of her was Elmens, a tall and thin woman, who couldn’t help being confused after noticing the change in Uliminus’s gaze while she was still sitting.

Every time Uliminus saw the designs of the clothes that Elmens had brought, she tilted her head while frowning even more.

… What the… this is… so ridiculous nya,

Look innocent.

Is conservative.

Is everywhere.

That is what she had heard.

Normally, it would be best to simply sell the goods at wholesale and receive payment based on the amount sold.

However, this time the situation was different.

Uliminus, who had realized that elegant and extravagant clothes had become quite popular among the young women of the Royal Capital, had considered starting to sell some copies as a test in Houtau City, and if things went well, she planned to start selling the outfits in a fashion stores of the Royal Capital immediately.

However, since it was only a test, she decided to create a special contract that stated that the total price of the items would only be limited to the total costumes sold.

Because of that, if for some reason she didn’t sell enough, she also wouldn’t recover even what she spent to buy the fabrics she had stored.

Uliminus, who I think would soon recover their losses after taking into account the sales that these outfits have had in stores in the Royal Capital, was ready to start laughing in victory, however, it did not take long to change her mind later to see the simple and conservative designs that were in front of her.

… This will not sold nya.

She thought as her face turned blue.

「What do you think? I base on the designs of the popular attires that are being sold in the Royal Capital. It may just be my personal opinion, but I think they are pretty good」, said Elmens as she smiled cheerfully with her slightly reddened cheeks.

… Hey hey… Why do these designs look so repulsive compared to the original samples nya?

Uliminus didn’t even try to hide the thirst for blood she had begun to direct towards Elmens.

◇◇ DEMON KING’S CASTLE • THRONE ROOM ◇◇

The Demon King Yuiguard, who was sitting on his throne, looked much more irritated than usual, *Dan!*, he hit the armrest, *Dan!* I hit it again and again.

Next to that Demon King was his assistant, the Sucubo Fufun, who was recounting the contents of the report in her hands.

「… Next, the Akumahito(Devil Person) Brianna, who was the main candidate to occupy a position as an executive, has become unable to sit temporarily due to the Electric Hammer with which the Noble Vampire Zamas hit her butt, and is presumed to take at least one month to recover the psychological impact.

In addition, her opponent, the Vampire Noble Zamas, who was killed by Brianna after she burned 90% of her inner organs, is currently in her resurrection<rebirth> process…」

Although during the Promotion Competition of the New Four Heavenly Kings, many competent individuals were found, everyone exceeded dunring the trials, and most of the participants had been severely injured, and some had even died, and the recovery of all participants is expected to take approximately one year.

Yuiguard can’t help letting out a deep sigh while listening to Fufun’s endless report.

◇◇ DEMON KING’S CASTLE • FUFUN LABORATORY ◇◇

「… Alright, I have finished with the treatment…」

「I am grateful~」, said the Slime Emperor Mort to Fufun’s assistant, the Akuma(Devil), Doctor Mephisto, who was sitting on his chair with a tired look, after he finished treating his injuries.

Doctor Mephisto, who had been buried under mountains of work due to the countless wounded who had been arriving at the infirmary as a result of the Promotion Competition, had already been forced to spend numerous sleepless nights after being forced to work properly uninterrupted

「Should I ask the next patient to come in?」, said the Lolita Mad Scientist<Young Mad Scientist> , Kokeshutti, who had become a subordinate of Fufun, like Doctor Mephisto, after the Competition, while she was pulling her head out the door.

「… Yes, it’s okay, do it…」

Doctor Mephisto let out a sigh while waving his hand indicating that she should let the next patient come in.

And, by his side.

「This is wrong… This is wrong…」

Was the Demon Machine, Pochiter, how was in charge of healing and repairing the Demons with minor injuries,「Thi sis wr ong… Th isi sw ro ng…」, which had begun to shake as he threw smoke from time to time.

「Yes, you can enter here」

Kokeshutti guided the next patient of Doctor Mephisto in front of him.

「Please heal Grandpa」

There were the bones of the Skeleton Calshim, which had been collected and brought to this place by the Golem Cocites.

◇◇ IN THE ROOM OF A CERTAIN INN IN THE ROYAL CAPITAL ◇◇

「Tsuya, what have you been drawing for a while?」

「Ah, Blond Hero-sama.

Did you know? I really like to draw clothes, besides, there are many people who want to buy my drawings~, so I thought I could make many drawings so that more people could buy them~」

「*Fumu*? They must be really crazy if they are willing to buy simple drawings of clothes」, said the Blond Hero while looking at Tsuya’s drawings with a look full of pity.

「What is this? What with these daring designs…? Hey, make the skirt shorter」

「Fue~? But if I make it shorter it will make the underwear look ~ ~ 」

「Idiot, that’s the point-…. I mean, no, I didn’t mean that…」

NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments.
