38. Ogres' hell Training, Banana addiction and Jean's first step as a CEO

In a forest of Inazuma a group of Ogres were all immobile and covered with dirt, they are the ones pick out by Tomoe to be trained and to be either become the Narukami company's employees or become covert operatives or "Ninjas" under Tomoe's lead.

In the group there is Aqua who's silently recovering, Eris who's currently leaning on the tree and their master Mondo smoking his cigarette.

" How long have we been on this hell-like training? A week? Ten days?" Aqua asked aloud as she drinks her water and Mondo answered, " Its only been five days."

While smoking Mondo remembered what happened at the beginning of their training, they faced both Tomoe and Mio and the result was horrifying. They already have a Master who can make most of their kin faint from her pressure, and her Subordinates were the Undefeated Dragon Shin and The Black Calamity Spider in humanoid forms which makes them more dangerous. Tomoe is already powerful with her illusion mist and currently reaching Master level in swordsmanship, then there's Mio who is now fully conscious and with intelligence compared to her past as a wild devouring berserker that can regenerate instantly as she overwhelms her prey with a battle of attrition.

They were completely destroyed, and the Ogres were being moulded by Tomoe into her liking.

Mondo won't complain about it though, since it will make him and his students stronger but Eris can't take it anymore as she ran away and Aqua chasing after her.

Then she found Eris eating a long, yellow fruit as a way of suicide and Aqua grab Eris to stop her from killing herself but when Eris turned around with a twinkle on her eyes while eating the fruit made Aqua look at her with dead eyes.

" This is poisonous Aqua, hence I will take responsibility to dispose all of it."

Aqua ignores Eris' foolish attempt and shouted to the group, " Everyone! We found food!"

And the Ogres discovers the divine fruit called Banana.

Jean begins her work by meeting Rembrandt first to inform him the changes in the management surprising Rembrandt, then asked as to why and Jean answers that her Mistress is not like her father who's good with business and decided to have Jean manage her business.

This makes Rembrandt more curious to Ei's background, he can already tell that Jean is a formidable businesswoman just by her appearance and how she talks Rembrandt can already see that Jean is unlike those merchants who have slimy hands and glib tongue.

" So what are your Mistress' plans then?"

asked Rembrandt to Jean who calmly drinks the tea Moris the butler made for them.

Jean opens her eyes and says, " My Mistress will continue her travels towards the center, in other words to Rotsgard. As for the details, sadly Mistress didn't tell me so my apologies Mr. Rembrandt."

" It's ok Miss Jean, so from this day you will manage the Narukami company. To be honest I am a bit threatened as one merchant to another." Rembrandt says as he smile a bit since rivalry in business is as common as breathing in the merchant world.

Jean simply smiles politely without saying anything.
