The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

"Yuri, I've kept your statement."

Carol came and gave me a note.

When I open it,

"I recognize your invention as patent number one."

It says:

He went through.

Patent No. 1 is a technology related to paper production.

It's not a parchment making technique, of course, it's a piece of paper made of plant fiber.

It would make a huge fortune if it went well.

I think...

I'm sure.

Probably.

"Side jobs are fine, but don't forget the main business."

Carol's been nailing me.

He was preached the other day, but he wasn't relieved.

"I get it. I'm sorry if I skipped out on my parents."

"I wish I knew."

Carol took what looked like a leather bag she was wearing on her waistband and suddenly gave it to me.

"A reward."

Reward?

When I received the leather bag, I opened it and it contained gold coins.

Leather bags enough to fit in children's hands, but a lot of money inside.

"What the hell?"

"So it's a reward"

"What a reward. Is that a different reward for the other day?

"Are you doing good enough to be rewarded that often?

Carol smiled niggardly and mean.

"I don't know."

"Seven Witches complained. If you consider the system of unraveling whether it will be rewarded or not, you seem to feel bad that you owe it to the Howe family."

"So you give me money? Bullshit."

I don't even think I owe this one.

If you think you've broken up in a clear mood, you feel like you've been sent a deposit.

I said, "I'd rather not do this."

"A little?"

Some leather bags are likely to have around thirty pieces of gold, even if they are lightly looked at.

One gold coin is 1000 ruga, so it becomes 30,000 ruga.

I can't convert it all together, but if it's Japanese yen, will it hit about 3 million yen?

Whatever it is, it's a lot of money.

"I don't know how much your discovery is, but I've never heard of a bounty to that extent in a matter like being summoned by your mother."

That's right.

You can't even think of the royal family as an asshole, or maybe it's something to come by for about 50,000 rugahs with Pong.

That's right, royalty has a different sense of money.

"I'm still a kid. I thought you might want to give me a lot of money."

"What's that got to do with adults and kids?

You're an unknown princess.

"When you do a lot of money to a kid, it's set a price when you use it to destroy yourself for something that's not even Locke. Try going to a fancy whorehouse or something and fry it into a whore."

"Hey, what the hell! Do it, I knew it! I can't do this to you!!

What did Carol think, he approached me to take the leather bag?

I'll hide it on my back because they won't take away the big money I got.

... I waved and threw it in my back hand with Pong and dropped it on the floor across the bed.

"Here! Give it to me!

Carol doesn't seem to notice the sound of a bag falling on the floor because she's shouting.

He's kind of messing up, and he's putting his body on trying to take the gold bag away from me.

"Fool, calm down! I don't use it that way."

I'm not familiar with it yet.

"Ha, ha... is that true?

"It's true. It's none of your business."

"... well, yes. You corrupt your roommate in the wrong direction..."

"Neither corrupt nor corrupt"

Even when I was corrupt, I just got a lot of money, and at best it was me who stopped netting.

If I had a corrupt personality, I would have done marijuana, gambled, and gone through cabbage.

That's why I'm fine.

"Then what do you use it for? Savings?"

That's why your thoughts are so badass. You are.

"That's an upfront investment."

"What are you talking about?

"Well... what, buy a good spear before the war or something like that"

Not at all.

Something's already bothering me.

"Well, that's a good idea for you. It's an impressive way to spend money."

Carol seems to have gotten in a good mood with it.

It was a complimenting mouthpiece for students buying reference books for their exams.

Actually, it's like buying a computer for erosion, but okay.

I've lived a long time in subjective time, but this is my first experience of starting a business.

The funds, combined with the 30,000 ruga I just received and the pocket money I saved on a yearly basis, are 50,000 ruga.

The amount of 50,000 ruga is worth quite a bit and is about 5 million yen when it comes to Japanese yen, but cannot be simply converted.

Because the prices of food are particularly low in this country and the prices of processed products are high.

In this country, or processed products at this industrial level, are all made by hand in Japan, so they are more natural and valuable.

Even if it's a laundry basket, if it's in Japan, it can be bought at a hundred average, so I can also buy it here for one luga. That's not why I knit thin trees by hand, so when I suck, I get about 50 ruga.

But on the contrary, if you don't have the luxury, you can have a pretty cheap life.

Usually, all you have to do is eat something like bread with grain and dried meat and salt, and all you have to do is sleep. If that's the life, it depends on the rent, but even the Wang capital can live at about 10,000 ruga a year.

So 50,000 ruga would mean, quite a bit of a mess, a salary that would allow people with no special skills to be hired to replace as many as they want for five years.

Five may be referred to as one year.

But in fact, you will need separate rent apart from labor costs, and capital investment costs, so you can't possibly hire five people.

I didn't work for a paper company, so I know that the primitive paper method would be western paper, but Japanese paper, but I'm not very good at it, and I barely know how to make tools.

So it is completely unclear when we will be able to have a level of paper that works as a product and how much money it will cost to get there.

Even though I have 50,000 ruga, I'm not at all comfortable with it as capital.

Besides, even though I'm free, I'm still busy in the morning, so I can't spend the whole day.

The three commas are still taking lectures this afternoon, and I just want someone who can be entrusted with running it.

Or there is a way to do it by yourself without leaving it to others.

You don't have to rely on capital to hire people from the start, but you can rent them yourself in a cabin by the water and use your free time to work.

I've never wanted to be a company owner, so I don't know because I've never learned a lot about management, but before I hire people, I try to work alone and accumulate know-how. That's not so much in a way that makes management scholars angry.

This was a time of reflection, and when I was eating dinner in the dining room thinking, Myalo called out.

"Something on your mind?

He asked without looking worried.

"Sort of."

"I'll talk to you if you like."

They're going to talk to me.

Myalo would not be a bad person to have a consultation with.

Instead, there may be no further aptitude.

"I'd like to start a business, but I don't know what to do with the people I entrust to do business with."

"Is it business"

Myalo looked surprised.

"There's been a lot less lectures this afternoon. 'Cause I'm free."

"That's a luxurious concern."

It could indeed be.

But I can't help it because it's almost over.

"One day Myalo will be too, I guess in about two years I'll be free"

"What do you think? I don't like practical skills, so I need to build strength."

Oh, sure.

As I self-assess it, Myalo was not good at practical skills.

This year, my class broke up because I went to a higher class.

Myalo doesn't have bad motor nerves, but he seems to have a muscleless physique and is hysterical.

If it is dagger technique, it can still be handled, but short surgery can't be helped because the muscles say things.

If we talk about extremes, even if Myalo has spears full of power, if Dolla waves down the spears as much as she wants and strikes Myalo's spears, the spears will probably fly away, or even if she doesn't go that far, the setup will unravel and fill the gap.

In short spears, it's still decidedly unfavourable for Myalo because it's an impossible story to avoid all the spears hitting each other.

"But you can still graduate."

When it comes to athletic tone deafness being unable to graduate, etc., the knight family, whose only son was born into a frail physique, will be in trouble.

"Yeah, but that makes it past twenty."

Is it past twenty?

I'd like to graduate as soon as possible.

It's troublesome that you can't graduate no matter how much you can study.

"That's tough..."

"I don't mind talking about me. Let Yuri-kun talk first."

Yes, it was.

Looks like the story was on the side.

What were you talking about?

"Talent."

"Yes. What kind of talent are you?

You look serious.

If you're serious about asking me for advice, I'm comfortable.

"Make a new product and sell it. I'm not buying and selling specialties. So it has to be the guy with the flexibility to think. It might be hard to be the only one who can do business with a store number."

"I see. I won't ask you what kind of product it is because it would be a secret, but I'm sure you might not work for the same person."

It's nothing secret or anything, and I can ask.

The patent is already out, so the guy who imitated it is obliged to pay me a royalty.

Rather, if you can do it, it feels more and more like imitating me.

"Should I also go to the Merchant Guild and have a job and interview?

"Ah."

Myalo frowned at the troubles.

"Hmm?"

"The Merchant Guild is under the control of the Seven Witches, so I was wondering if Yuri the Knight would have a problem if he went."

Wow, is that what you have?

"You stink."

"If you're offering jobs, you'd be smart enough to do it in the Howe family territory."

"Well, we'll have to do it in Wangdu for a while, so we'll have to make him travel."

It would fly away if Wang Eagle could use it, but it would still take a few years to get permission to go anywhere by himself.

The first move will need to be made in the Wang capital.

Besides, when it comes to a major consumer of paper, it is still Wang Du, so it is convenient in that regard.

"If you are a trader living in Wangdu, I have one person in mind, shall I introduce you?"

You think you have any idea?

Myalo knows everything. Is it wide to the face on top? That's kind of awesome.

He's really fifteen years old.

"When I think of it, what kind of thing is it?

"He's the one who got kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce where we're in and out."

"Did they kick you out"

Are you a descendant of a boy who's been kicked out of work and has trouble getting a job back?

What about that, too?

"You didn't get your hands on the store money or anything, did you? He didn't agree with me a bit."

"Hmm."

I don't know anything about the business habits of merchants in this country, so I'm not pinned.

Well, don't you see if I don't see him?

"But the chamber of commerce that is in and out of the witch house is just so good at being feisty, I think it's more of a reassuring element that you left in rebellion against it"

My parents dis came in naturally.

"Well, it doesn't mean it's bad because it's Myalo's introduction"

I need to talk to you, but it's a little hard to think that Myalo will introduce me to his total incompetence.

In the first place, as you can see from the fact that he doesn't like witches, he doesn't like being incompetent, unproductive, snaggy and living in the family business.

I wonder what talented people they are.

At least it's worth a try.

I think...

"I'd love to hear you say that."

Myalo laughed a little lightly.

"How am I supposed to make contact?

"I only know my name, too, so it might be quick to check the address at the Royal Castle and send a letter"

This is the first time I've ever known that I could find an address in the royal castle.

For once, do you have some idea of the inhabitants about Wang Du?

"Okay. What's your name?"

"It's Cuff Ornette."

Three days later, I visited Cuff Ornette's room.

The apartment with Kaf Ornett's room is located on the east side of Fourth Ring Avenue north of Wangdu, which will be the fourth of the bypass that connects the north side of Wangdu, which has become two main rivers, and the radially stretching boulevard from the Royal Castle.

Speaking of my senses, this is like a second-class common neighborhood.

The rich common man would set up about east of Third Ring Avenue if it were north.

Whether you want to go shopping at the big market or for the royal castle, it's because of the convenience of transportation.

However, the Fourth Ring Street in the north is close to the North Harbor of Wangdu, so this would be a convenient location for a merchant.

As a slightly gold free merchant's house, it was a convincing location.

Three-story stone building, go up to the second floor and knock on the door.

-Okay, he's here.

And I heard voices from the other side.

Accidental.

Recently, immigrants from Kirchna have been eating up and said they are feeling a little insecure.

When I said that, the kid came here all by himself.

"Excuse me."

I opened the door and went inside.

Inside, it was kind of the first "living room for a sloppy single man" I've seen in a long time, with a mess of garbage and dust all over the floor.

Only the frequently walking part escapes the dusty demon's hand, like a beast path.

When I was in Japan, I saw it every day, or so my room was, but since I started this life, it's the first room I've ever seen.

At first, Suzuya was cleaning me up nicely, and since then, maids and cleaners have cleaned me up, my living space has never been like this.

"Hello, I'm Yuri Howe"

"I'm sorry."

Cuff Ornette fell asleep on a solid couch and was drinking.

They say they're coming, but they don't even try to get up.

"I'm not free enough to hang out with noble children."

"... Really?"

That's a bad attitude.

Can't we do this?

Well, there are parts of it that you can't help but think so.

If you're busy, you can't help it.

Either way, it just seems like he has a lot of leeches.

But your life is rougher than you can imagine.

Now, if a child who can't get a mesh had died in the corner of the room, it would be perfect.

"In the future, I'm going to sell products that can drive away the parchment market."

"Well, I guess not."

I don't even have a bite.

I pushed my arm against the curtain.

Do you want to leave?

No, I'm here because of you, and you want to stick around some more?

"What about that? I don't know until I try."

"You can't. Even if that's true, it's the assholes who steal it anyway. Whatever this country does, it works."

It's kind of sloppy.

Are you saying you're stubborn?

"It's a mechanism that won't, so it's okay."

"Hung."

I don't talk about it, it's like.

"When someone other than me, the inventor, made the product, he made sure that he was obliged to pay me a patent fee. It's tattooed by Her Majesty the Queen. There's also an autograph and a letter with a seal."

I bring it once and for all.

"... I've never heard of that."

"It was about a month ago that I performed to Her Majesty the Queen, because it was enacted a week ago. Permission was given three days ago. By the way, my invention is number one."

"Hmm. You let His Majesty create the mechanism."

"Yes."

Saying that, Cuff woke up and saw me for the first time.

Straight from the front, that's another terrible bump.

It's not that my face is badly made, and I don't take care of my hair or beard at all on top of the dirt stain.

"I can't believe it. Let me see."

"Go ahead."

I was worried that it would be broken, but I gave it to her.

The paper I gave you is a bright white fine parchment that won't look fake.

The cuff circulates and reads in writing,

"Thank you. Seriously."

I said.

"Yes. Seriously."

Cuff returned the paper to me.

"So, what are you gonna do to me?

Whoa, did you get a little motivated?

"General supervision and labour. If the product is ready, it is sold. I mean, I want you to do what I have to do instead."

"What the hell?"

He has a flashing face.

"I have to go to school in the morning, so I have business to attend to."

"Well, I'll do everything from start to finish, and the money will be yours."

"In other words, I just came up with an idea and I'm going to explore how to make a product. Full money will be made after six months of sweet looking at it. In the meantime, I think it's better to think of it as something that has no money."

"So in the meantime, am I unpaid?

"That's a fixed salary. I can't give you too much though. Think again about full rewards when business is on track."

Cuff sighed, uhh.

Thank you. I think I'm lost.

"You really think you're gonna succeed?

I've heard that.

"Ten years from now, something called parchment will have almost disappeared from the market. I hope the production goes well."

"Right...... But the parchment guild is under the jurisdiction of Lachramanus. It could get in the way."

Uh, I have some annoying information.

Lachramanus is the family name of the fifth witch house.

This king's capital is a shithead of assholes everywhere.

Free commerce, well-ventilated business, it's a city out of line with those words.

"Well, that would be good. I am the son of the Howe family. [M] If I'm the representative, I can do a lot."

"... what? Really? You're a hell of a kid."

I wrote your name in the letter.

Haven't you read it?

"Even if it interferes, it will be enough to threaten or destroy the production base. That's a story after enough products went out and threatened the parchment market. I can't help worrying now."

"Well, yeah."

"Once the production system is in place, the ingredients are not the skin of the animals and animals, but the trees that grow around them. The durability should be inferior, but it can be distributed for less than half the price. I don't know how powerful the parchment guild is, but you can't escape elimination."

The high value of the product called parchment paper and the height of the laying made me feel inconvenient.

With cheaper, mass-distributable plant paper, it should always spread.

"Something tells me you're so sure. Is there any certainty that it will become popular?"

Confirmation?

Is this guy stupid?

"If you can't move without certainty, I'll go around the others. People like that don't call themselves merchants."

………

"Even peasant people's work depends on their luck in failing to make crops. There's no way there's any certainty in talking about making a fortune out of a witch house."

"... you're right. I seemed dumber."

Cuff shook off his clutter and shook his head once so as to remind him of his drunkenness.

"Are you motivated"

"Oh. It's not even funny anyway. It's not a bad idea to bet on that for a year or two"

"Really?"

He got motivated.

Until just now, I can see that my strength is increasing in my eyes, which were frigid by alcohol.

Motivational.

"But we're still in the process of coming up with something. You haven't even made it yet. For now, if we don't establish a method, we won't talk about it."

The waking cuff seems to have become the head of thinking about a concrete plan.

"That's right."

Exactly.

"Anyway, establishing the method is a prerequisite. How do you make that paper of yours?

"The raw material is the fiber of the plant. Not weeds, though."

"Yeah, it's like a cloth"

Fast to understand.

In this country, there are few opportunities, but cloth may also write letters in the same way as parchment paper.

Cloth is closer in nature to paper than parchment.

I guess you can always use cloth as paper, but all cloth will be hand woven, so I guess this isn't price competitive enough to threaten parchment paper.

The ink seeps through the braids, so you can only use one side if it's not so thick fabric.

"The cloth spins the longest possible fiber onto the yarn, and then you weave it into a cloth, right?"

"Well, yeah."

"Paper doesn't have to be woven. Paper doesn't need to be as sturdy as cloth because it doesn't make it into cloth. On the contrary, what we need is finesse."

"Right."

"So somehow break the plant down and fiber it, put it in water, lay it down with a fine net of eyes. Then weigh and compress from the top. If you dry it, it's a piece of paper."

"... uh, right"

"Do you have any questions?

…………

I shut up.

What, have you changed your mind?

When I was worried, Cuff slapped his knee abruptly.

Bread and loud noises.

"I have a lot of questions, but okay. Anyway, try to make one."

"Really? I thought you'd changed your mind."

When I spoke of my worries, Ha, Kaf laughed off.

"It's a boarded ship. Think about it if you haven't done it in six months and it doesn't seem like a thing at all, but it's not that easy to get off."

"Really?"

Good.

But there's only one condition.

Conditions?

"What is it?

"I'm not going to be a working man. That's why I don't need a fixed salary. When you start making money, you'll get a percentage from the profits I've increased."

"I see. Do you mean a percentage rather than a fixed salary? Sure, that's fine."

I guess you'd be more motivated that way.

Especially this type.

But first, I don't have any money.

You don't look like you have any money if you don't tell me.

"Will the immediate working capital get out of the Howe family?

"No, that's what I'm doing on my own, so I'll get you out of my pocket money. It's only 50,000 ruga, so I don't feel comfortable."

"Fifty thousand would be enough for now. Unlike trade, we don't have to align ships and horses. I don't know what the equipment will look like, but with 20,000, we'll have it all."

Well, you could use 20,000 to get it all together.

"All right, then, let's just say it moves"
