Sea Episode – Swimsuit! Dried Squid! Demon King’s Little Sister! 2

We have been traveling for 24hrs using the light truck.

Me, Arisa, Ouroboros, and Atom-kun took turns driving, and finally—we arrived at the port city.

Maria is a speed freak so I didn’t let her take the wheels.

So, when we were traveling—

「Stop no desu！」

「Help-」

「This has no effect on dexterous hand riding rabbits…guwa!」

The game of using wipers to kick away the hand-riding rabbits that were playing in front of the windshield has become popular.

There were ten of them and it was a spectacular sight to see them all get wiped off by the windshield wipers.

By the way, when Atom-kun tried it—

「What the hell is wrong with you, newcomer!」

「Do you have a deathwish!」

「You’ll be damned!」

「Aniki!? Why are they only like that with me….guwaaa!」

And there was a time where Atom-kun’s life was in danger but he safely(?) arrived at the port city too.

The members of this group of tourists are…

Me

Sonja’s army.

Ouroboros

Katya

Arisa

Maria

Atom-kun

Cornelia

That’s it.

Atom-kun begged to come with us saying “Please let me come. I’ll follow your every command.”. He basically wants to see Cornelia and Katya in their swimsuits.

So, we headed for the merchant guild of the port city first.

「Now, can you tell me what’s the deal with the dried squid?」

「Before anything else, you know that I’m the one who made the king swallow all our reasonable demands regarding tax rates, contraband, and wholesale routes, right?」

「Yeah, that’s right.」

「Anyway, our company is the only one enjoying the absurdly favorable treatment. And if we started to deal with normal products, normal companies will go out of business in no time.」

That means you really made them accept very unreasonable perks.

Let’s not ask for any more details.

「Well, if they really collapse because of us, our company will absorb their staff.」

「So, what’s the deal with the dried squid?」

「The king began to say that the preferential treatment is too unscrupulous for outsiders so…he wants us to do something and the preferential treatment will be the reward.」

「Reward?」

「We’ll be receiving preferential treatment as heroes.」

「Oh, I see. Indeed. It will be very bad for them to show outsiders that they have given in to the pressure of a demon king and can’t help but give our company preferential treatment.」

「That’s the gist of it. I still haven’t told you about your role in the preferential treatment I’ve accepted. Basically, it’s not really what you are thinking, our job for the kingdom is not nominal.」

This fox borrowed the power of tiger.

She made a deal with the king by utilizing the machine of destruction with the name Cornelia.

「So, what do we do?」

「Get rid of the kraken.」

「Ah, so that’s the “dried squid” you are telling me to make. Can you tell me more details?」

「Originally, this place was a major shipping hub but recently, it is impossible to sail as the kraken appeared.」

「Maa, that’s pretty much what I thought.」

「And then, scurvy hits this place. The sailors for long-distance routes suffered scurvy so it is difficult to secure sailors for those routes now. The shipping company suffered double punches and is now on the verge of bankruptcy…the kingdom itself is in trouble because of it.」

「Scurvy…?」

This smelled a bit of gold.

「So, the reason why I asked you to have Cornelia-chan to come with us is to…」

「Destroy the kraken.」

「Of course! If she’s with us, the kraken is just a toy! That’s no match for her.」

「Right—oi, Arisa. How much money can your company move right now?」

「Without the approval of the adventurer king…around 10000 gold coins. If it is approved by the adventurer king, 50000 but that’s the limit we can move.」

We also have 10000 gold coins saved for the construction of our house…

「Without scurvy and the kraken, it should be a very profitable route, right?」

「Ah, it should be.」

「How much money is needed to buy that bankrupt company?」

「20000 gold coins should be enough. The company’s debt is around 100000 gold coins and that would be undertaken too.」

Bingo.

I smiled and nodded.

「Good. That shipping company—let’s buy it. The investment will be split 50-50 between you and us.」

「What do you mean?」
