Maou’s Partner

Once the company management was done, Maou started asking Kuro different from the topic.

"Kuro, do you have any interest in… being my partner temporarily at the Getsuba Tournament?"

"Hm? Explain the rule first." Kuro were rather quick to accept the situation as he sought for information.

"Getsuba Tournament - 10,000km long horse marathon from center prefectures to … prefectures, using the desert road. Allowed to attack a contester in the name of obstacles, and of course no killing.

It is allowed to race singled but it is also allowed to duo, although… some does not do that as increasing one person worth of weight is a great decrease to horse's speed and stamina."

Maou made it as simple as he can. The rest Kuro can search things up throughout the poster everywhere in the streets.

"…I could predict why you want to partner up with me but, could you tell me the reason?" Kuro asked him.

"If I used even a percentage of my power, the race will be cancelled due to the disaster."

"Second, you don't weight that much. Third, Urara may like you. Fourth, you are unexpectedly rather strong. Fifth, advertisement opportunity. Sixth, you are cute so I can get through you fans."

"Hey, your worldly desire is leaking… *sigh* does demon king even want for fame?" Kuro shook his head as he shrugged.

"Wha- what are you saying! It's for Urara!"

"Fine then. I'll do it." Truth be told, Kuro was bored. He liked this peace, but he felt something was lacking and that is…

Thrill.

*gasp!*

Kuro widened his eyes over this thought. When was he a thrill-seeking person? Connecting the dots and turning into a line, he swore to himself to never use devour or whatsoever it is called again.

"Hm? What's wrong."

"Eh, ah… ahem it's nothing. That's all, right? I will then take my leave. Good bye."

Kuro created a portal as it passed through his whole body, teleporting himself to somewhere else.

Because he was panicked, he didn't actually choose much of his destination as he arrived in the place near his residence—coincidentally, it was the Burger King.

"Oh, master! You're there! Thanks to your advice, my burger has began to sell more! Grateful!" It was Krames Burn, self-acclaimed disciple of Kuro.

*flashback*

"Sigh… then I'll tell you a cheat on selling burger. The simplest recipes goes:

Buns

Pickles

Chicken (make sure to remove all the bones. That thing is a nightmare.)

Pickles

Buns

"R-really? But chicken burger is unheard of in fast food industry…"

"Whatever. I'm going. It's your choice to be the pioneer or not."

*end*

"So how is your shop going lately?" What Kuro asked wasn't rather the sells of burger, it was the stability of shop.

Kuro admitted that Krames Burn had the talent to produces a good burger and also in term of business.

"Yes, among the 1,667 prefectures, I've successfully built up to 58 prefectures with the distances between each restaurant not surpassing 5km."

"Huh? Wait, what? You're… richer than me?" Ridiculous. Even he who started the business earlier than Krames Burn, have only expanded his books to only 20 or so prefectures…

not to mention, due to his investment on [Clone], he was almost bankrupt with 100,000+ remaining golds.

How could this Burger King expands its influence so fast…

'Wait, isn't this my fault? The first 7 months, I've never stepped in store once. The next 3 months, I left the store as soon as I gave the manga to Maou.'

'Such a failure. Such a wasted potential… I need to hurry Maou to find someone who can do business well… ah, Bruce Wayne, why don't you magically fall from sky and help me out?"

Kuro felt at lost, some times ago, he was here, sitting in the 'once' shabby restaurant which no costumer came in. But now, it turned upside down, it was popular 24/7, many people came in and out.

"I- I don't care about you anymore!" Kuro sulked as he ran out the place and returned to his home.

Inside the home, he moved directly to the 3rd floor which is usually empty, and did his usual research while taking look at his clone which was drawing the manga.

At some point, he stopped 'feeling' of controlling the clone, and it acted as it will, but the experience is still there, and Kuro had his sense on the clone.

Before, Kuro asked why this happened onto Maou but he just said

[The reason why it's a forbidden technique of ancient elvin is just showing up. Nothing to worry about.]

So Kuro left it as it is. It seemed pain to deal in the future but he'll leave that to future himself. The present him can laze around as it is not too bad yet.

"I wonder which 'me' will you be…" Kuro adorably smiled to his clone which was writing the manga of Inuyasha…

Honestly, he looked a little bit insane. But truth be told, he was insane at the beginning.

Afterward confirming the situation of his clone, Kuro went back onto his research.

His current topic were fixing things with the languages as well as make the 1st downloadable app in the appstore, and test it out.

He currently had a mini internet inside this house that's much restrictive compared to the earth one as it is not intended to be omnipotent.

'I should add [Nakirin] too, but… I guess that will be of the future because it has like 500,000 words…'

'Alright. Language fixing should be done mostly. I will fix it more later when I discovered somewhere crazy in it… what app should I make?'

'I have an basic idea of how to make the app be downloaded with internet… but what should I make? The first game in the world? Should I make an simple ping-pong?'

'Or should I go insane and make an Flappy Bird which is also easy but looks modern?'

'Hmm… but that seems a waste. it is said that Flappy Bird made over a 50,000$ every day through the in-game advertisement… I don't want to ruin that opportunity and make such game

in this age where even TV advertising doesn't even exist yet… come to think of it, it's just 50,000 golds per day, isn't it? It is not too big lose if I can trade it with

[Citizens bringing their iPhone(Clone) outside, and playing a Flappy Bird.]

That alone were a massive advertisement. As such, Kuro's scheme began as well, his adorable thoughts also started in.

'When I complete this, I want to make Botan-Onee-Chan play it.'
