Mobile Magical Girl Corporation Lulurun: Even If I’ve Become A Magical Girl, I Will Definitely Start My Own Business In Another World - CH 15
And though Lulurun said she’d create a company…
It’s hard to understand the rules of entrepreneurship in this world. First of all, she has to collect information.
Risk hedging is of utmost importance, and she cannot be a company that would last simply throwing darts at the wall. It’s been two days since she made the promise and chose to act.
“I didn’t get any results!!” Lulurun yelled.
Although she couldn’t achieve results in terms of entrepreneurship, there are some things that she learned from observing this world with transfer and flight magic. This world is roughly divided into four territories:
“Ursa” “Rokujo” “Zayhon” “Kano”
In the present, Lulurun is located in “Zayhon” in the north, and each land has a general-purpose government called a church that manages the area, and the roles of guardians and security fall on people like Rhynes and the “Knights of the Holy Empire.” In Zayhon, the 1st Knight Order under Rhynes and the 3rd Order of Cain, and the 6th Knight Order are stationed here.
There is a lot of trust in the Order of the Holy Empire, and they are the symbols of gratitude and respect in every land. There is a central headquarters for all of them, where the “Holy Emperor” probably is, but she’s not she’s not interested in that, so she hasn’t investigated it thoroughly.
Lulurun was hoping that she would meet a witch, but she didn’t meet any in the end, probably because they were cleverly hiding their whereabouts.
She was able to find only the territory of the “Witch of the North,” but she couldn’t contact said witch without giving notice to Rhynes first, and so Lulurun turned back without doing anything.
This world is littered with RPG fantasy elements such as dragons and monsters, which are stock-standard in the genre, and it seems that monsters are devoted to the magical power of the witches and become violent because of it.
Though it’s alright not to talk about it, Lulurun would like for the readers to understand that the above paragraph was because her days constantly went, “Random Encounter → Random Encounter.”
She encountered monsters quite a few times in two days, and she was able to get rid of them without any problems, but monster extermination did not directly lead to Lulurun’s main goal.
She didn’t go up in level, and she didn’t get any skill points. In the first place, she can’t even see her status.
The defeated monster becomes puffs of light, no items are dropped, no money drops, and if she decided to physically beat it to death, it naturally becomes a dead carcass…
Well, it is natural that there are no such convenient features.
She can be self-sufficient by using magic, but if she’s not in town, she cannot secure an inn, she has to live in a field on the outskirts of the town, she does not have working capital, and she does not have connections or a messenger.
When she started a business before, Lulurun said that she had started the company in a blessed state without having to think carefully, because she was sponsored only by the value of her name, and she had more connections than necessary, looking back on it.
However, this time the situation is completely different, and if she is found out to be a witch, to begin with, she will be treated as a witch, so she will run into problems before even starting her business… it’s difficult to start a business that she could do while hiding her magic.
“What am I doing wrong…?” Lulurun asked herself.
She couldn’t find a hint to a solution, and while she was walking around town…
Guuu-gurgle-gurgle.
With a rumbling sound, Lulurun’s biggest problem faces her head-on.
“I’m hungry…” Lulurun muttered.
It’s the issue of food. It seems that magic could handle the problem, but there is no cooking spell with many fine seasonings and varied cooking methods. In addition, Lulurun herself is not able to cook at all.
“Bake Meat.”
She thought she’d eat the carcass of the monsters she defeated, but she could not muster the courage to do so.
“If I don’t do anything, I’m going to starve to death before I even start a business,” Lulurun muttered.
She smelled something good from a dining hall she passed by.
“What a criminal smell… damn it, this sucks…” Lulurun whined.
“Ugyaaaaaaaa!!!”
Someone screams from inside the cafeteria, that someone flies out the doors.
“Huh?” Lulurun asked.
“If you’ve got a problem with me, then don’t come back, you hear?!”
That yelling was from a large man who was kicking another man out, it was easy to imagine that the original shouting was from the latter.
“What the hell are you looking at?! I’m not showing off anything, you hear?!!” the big-bodied store clerk snapped at Lulurun.
When Lulurun turned away, he returned to the restaurant.
“What a scary dining hall…” Lulurun muttered.
With that dreadful exchange, Lulurun thought of an evil plan.
“I could steal some food…”
It’s easy to use magic to steal food, and since she only has to erase their memories after the act, it’s the perfect crime.
“Can I even do that?!” Lulurun yelled at herself. “Am I an idiot?! I really am an idiotttt!!”
The sight of this beautiful woman alone in her delusions and her misery was so ridiculous that the passersby looked at her in pity.
“Umm…” a girl calls out.
Lulurun is too hungry and desperate to notice.
“Ah, was that you?” the girl asked.
“Yes,” Lulurun replied, downcast. “Is something wrong?”
“No, I mean, umm…” the girl said.
With her small back, her small voice, and a big chest for her size, Lulurun’s got a feeling she’s seen her somewhere, she looks back through her memories.
“About that time, thank you for saving me then,” the girl said.
That time?
“Ah!” Lulurun cried.
It was the girl she saved from the cookie-cutter villains when she was just reincarnated.
“I was too scared to say thank you, and, umm, I’m sorry you had to help then,” the girl said.
“It’s alright, it’s alright,” Lulurun said, “I had an ulterior motive, don’t worry about it…”
“Ulterior motive?” the girl asked.
“Don’t worry about that, wait, huh?” Lulurun asked.
She finally noticed something was off.
“You recognize me?” Lulurun asked.
“What do you mean?” the girl asked.
“”
“What I mean was, you realize I was the one who saved you then?” Lulurun asked.
“Huh? Yes… I was so struck by your blue hair,” the girl said.
Isn’t the cognitive obstruction spell working? Lulurun is surprised by the girl’s words.
After breaking up with Rhynes, Lulurun used the cognitive obstruction spell throughout the city, which turned the witnesses’ memories of Lulurun into a “green-haired old man” instead of a “blue-haired girl.” The girl just said that Lulurun’s blue hair was impressive, even though her memories should have been modified.
“Was the spell imperfect?” Lulurun asked.
“Spell?” the girl asked.
“No, no, over here,” Lulurun said.
Whatever the case, depending on how this girl appears, she’s going to use the spell again, Lulurun tries to cast it again on the girl…
Guuu-gurgle-gurgle.
Right before the girl, Lulurun felt her stomach rumbling as it couldn’t read the air, as Lulurun was embarrassed and angry, the girl presented her basket to Lulurun.
“Would you like to eat some of this?” the girl asked.
“Huh?” Lulurun asked.
“”
“You’re hungry, right?”
“Yes,” Lulurun said without hesitation.
The girl giggles. “I don’t know if it’s delicious, but please take it as a thank you.”
When Lulurun opened the basket, it contained a divine sandwich as she would see in a store.
“You’re serious… I can take this?” Lulurun asked.
“Yes, as thanks for your help,” the girl said.
She smiled and looked like an angel to Lulurun.
“But isn’t this your meal?”
“It’s okay, I work in this dining hall,” the girl said.
“What? Is that so?” Lulurun asked.
“Yes,” the girl said.
“At this dining hall?” Lulurun asked.
After the memory of the big guy earlier, is this little girl working here?
“Are you okay?” Lulurun asked.
“What do you mean?” the girl asked.
“No, nothing, do your best at work,” Lulurun said.
“Oh, thank you very much,” the girl said.
“Thank you for your meal, too,” Lulurun said.
The girl bowed repeatedly and then went back into the restaurant.
“Thank you… huh?” Lulurun muttered.
Helping others, she didn’t even mean to help people, but she’s used her power for someone… that’s what she wants to do with her magic.
With the sandwich given by the girl, Lulurun reaffirms that’s what she should aim for.
“Yes, that’s right, that’s what I want to do, that’s what I should do!”
Lulurun, her heart clear once more, renews her determination as if to dispel the stagnation of these two days.
“Oh, crap, that girl,” Lulurun muttered.
She was too kind to cast the cognitive obstruction spell on that girl.
“But what should I do first…?” Lulurun asked, crossing her arms to think.
“Is that you, Keisuke?”
And then, a familiar voice calls Lulurun out by her pre-mortem name.
“Rhynes!” Lulurun yelled.
“What are you doing in front of this dining hall?” Rhynes asked.
“No, nothing,” Lulurun said.
“Nothing??” Rhynes asked.
“Why are you here, Rhynes?”
“We, the First Order of Knights, often patronize this dining hall,” Rhynes said.
“I see, is that so?” Lulurun said.
“”
“You’re better than this!” is what Rhynes’s face says as she approaches Lulurun.
“What did you mean by having done nothing?” Rhynes asked. “What happened to your dream?”
After being hit right where it hurts, Lulurun asks Reines for a consultation.
“The thing is, you see…” Lulurun said.
Whisper-whisper-mumble-mumble.
“I see…” Rhynes said. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can help you out with that…”
“No, don’t apologize for it,” Lulurun said.
“But, I can introduce you to someone who does,” Rhynes said.
“Huh?”
“Someone who knows you already, Keisuke,” Rhynes said.
Someone who already knows Lulurun? She thinks it should only be Rhynes and that girl, after two days since coming to this world… Lulurun tries to remember anyone else who knows her, but she can’t think of anyone at all.
“It’s going to be fine!” Rhynes said, very happy.
On the other hand, Lulurun felt uneasy. “I’m worried…” she said.
