Second Move

"Whe-when did you expand this place…" Kuro looked over at 'his' store in which increased in sizes.

Of course, it's exterior size looked the same, but like Zhang Xuan's library, the interior spaces increased.

"Hey, Kuro! You're here. You see, it took me a great effort to upgrade this store."

"I've never spared any effort as I worked 1 time a week, and steal a portions of your income for store expansion." Maou showed an exaggerated haggard expression.

"…You were stealing some of my income?" Kuro were shocked over Maou's statement. He thought a million in 7 months were much enough, but apparently, there were more.

"Ah… I made a mistake. I meant, your generous donation." Maou jokingly fixed his slip-on mouth.

"Well whatever. By the way, are Inuyasha being sold well?" Kuro asked his point.

"Yeah it's fine. After the release of the 6th volume and from it's on, bookstores from all over the prefectures started coming in for the rights to sell the manga in their shop." Maou continued.

"Aside from the one that offered too low for an business, I've accepted them all. So… it's safe to say that Inuyasha has spread throughout the Reign Empire."

"So the overall income multiplied by many times and… you've earned a total of 10,500,000 Gold, and it will increases from now on."

"*sigh* I didn't expect it to be this big. Can I retire?" Maou said with an tired expression.

"Well… at least do me a favor and find your successor before you retire. I can't handle business." As if ignoring his pitiful expression, Kuro said and continued.

"Oh yeah, I'll do that. By the way, many of 'your fan' which ironically don't even know a single thing about you, is asking what your pen name is. Have you considered of it before?"

"Or will you just use your real name? It will be a good way to be famous in one-night though." Maou explained his thought to Kuro.

"Kuro Oni it is."

[Black Demon] the closest conception to the name Kuro thought as translation. It didn't have a complicated meaning.

Suddenly after hearing his thought, Maou started copying the motion of spitting, as if disgusted.

"Fine then. I will add your pen name to the published books from now on. Are you really sure with that, though? Do you have no intention on getting famous?" Maou asked curiously.

"Not interested in fame. From my impressions, fame only brings harm to you along with some short time of addictions. Rather drinking such a drug and ruining my everyday, I'd rather not have it."

What Kuro gave were a rather adult answer which were rather unfitted considering his age.

"Figured."

"Anyway. I want you to propose this certain idea to many peoples out there that may be willing to invest in it…

favourably, the person who developed the iVhone, [Orange] Company. And I want you to buy a few property all around the Reign Empire… maybe around 10 millions towe-…

Never mind. Let's begin from focusing on this prefecture first… the goal is, building around… a total of thousands empty properties."

Due to Kuro's sudden statement filled with mysteries, Maou couldn't keep up with him.

"Wait, what? For what? Why?" As a barrage of question came flowing in, Kuro smiled mysteriously to him.

"Look over your iVhone. I 'sent it' to you." Maou furrowed his brow as he opened his iVhone to see an unfamiliar app.

"It's nothing that great. With Ki Sense, tweaking with mana waves became much easier and this idea of mine became much more easier, and quicker to achieve."

Afterward tapping in, the mysterious apps, he saw it. Kuro's 'message' written in Viran Language.

How that 'thing' worked were explained in simple way as Kuro's plan—multiple things on what he want Maou to do, were written in extremely detailed way.

"… It's the Second Part of Cultural Invasion."

-----

"Haaah~… talking with person is tiring." Such a pitiful thought of process from Kuro escaped his mouth as he looked around the roadway he was walking in.

'It sure has increased…' Kuro were talking about that certain races.

a race which supposed to be filled with dignity and prides—the embodiment of beauty itself; Elven.

"Mama! I want to try that one!" One daughter with pointed-ears extended her finger which directed to ice cream shop.

Smiling to her daughter, the two went forward the shop…

They were surprisingly peaceful. From Kuro's impression from elves through 21 and 17's cultural talk, the elven would go.

*"You lecherous humans, how dare you look at us with that disgusting eyes of yours…"*

*"I-it's not that I am doing this for you. Ye-yes! This is just because you saved me before!"*

*"Dear human, please give us your wonderful seed…"*

Or so. Aside from the last part, he had an impression that elven were, prideful, not honest, etc.

"Maybe I should start writing up fantasy manga to ride on the trend?" Due to the Knight Alliances' success, the elven were the talk of the day,

and bringing out an elf-related 'things' can have an successful effect as per the 'trends'.

With these carefree thoughts on to make money, Kuro headed to a certain places as he looked for a tailor that is willing to teach him on a way to make a clothes.

After all, those wonderful pieces from Earth can only be made through his own hand—if it made through his instruction, it can only be inferior than the copy of it.

Besides, he want to make them clothes himself. It's like a clothing game that used to exists in bowser games. Just…

the realism will be increased by 100% and the choice of clothes will increases by unlimited.
