37. "Ritou" the Town covered by Fog and Ei made a Puppet CEO

After surrounding the the town with high walls and the island itself with thick fog, Ritou is now in full operation, the Alkeys with the most proficient in human transformation act as adventurers to get close to others to spread the rumours about where the Narukami company got its products from. Those people get curious, will go to the location told by the Alkeys as they found an area covered with thick fog and discovered a town unlike any other, buildings with different styles left and right and inhabitants of any demi-human race capable of speaking Common.

At first the visitors were cautious, but with the hospitality of the townspeople and enticing products shining in their eyes they easily let their guard down and do business with the demi-human store owners.

What they didn't know is that Ei placed a formation on the whole town, giving the visitors a "calming" effect and any negative emotions slowly being suppressed to make it unsuspicious to those with keen senses.

Ei also used her Space to fully hide the formation to ensure no nosy people will discover it, and to ensure the security is tight she created puppets that will respond if an emergency happens or if one day a high-leveled person decides to make trouble in the town.

Since Ei doesn't need to do much merchant work because its simply a cover, she decided to become simply the owner and will "hire" someone to become the CEO of her company.

A puppet was made for the role of CEO of the Narukami company, and the puppet has the image of a certain Dandelion Knight and Ei coincidentally named her Jean(yes its Jean-dancho).

With a calm Ei, a curious Shiki,Tomoe and an insecure Mio are now watching a young lady with blond hair tied into a ponytail and wearing a knight's uniform with a rapier attached on her left side opens her eyes and look straight to Ei.

" Greetings my creator, what is my mission?" Jean asked her master who made her just a few minutes ago.

" Your role is to be the CEO of my company Jean, to ensure your safety I gave you the "Eternal body" making you immune to any status effects and strong enough to endure attacks from both Tomoe and Mio."

This makes Shiki become downhearted due to lack of firepower and also to Jean's Eternal body that's much more better than becoming an Undead creature.

Ei also adds, " You are currently as strong as a level 800 adventurer and your abilities are more on crowd control and healing, hence you will have bodyguards that focus on both defence and offence."

Jean bows and salutes to Ei, " I will serve my creator to the best of my abilities, and to be the best CEO for the Narukami company."

Ei nods and turns to Tomoe, " How is their training?"

Tomoe grins with an okay gesture on her right hand.
