CHAPTER 18: HOUTAU GIRLS COLLECTION
During Event Preparations
NT: It’s… horrible… my University… I hate it… I understand why they did what they did, but… but I still hate them… fuck… now I have a lot of homework to do…
◆ ◇ NANIWA CITY • STORE INTERIOR, SILK FLEECE ◇ ◆
「A Fashion Show huh. It sounds like something really interesting, Furio-danna」, said the Silk Fleece manager, Fettabetch, while looking at Furio with interest.
Furio had come to Naniwa City to visit Fettabetch, the Silk Fleece manager, with the intention of obtaining her collaboration with the Fashion Show he was planning to hold in Crylord’s Castle City.
「So, what do you say? Would you cooperate with us?」
「What are you saying! You don’t even have to ask me whether or not I want to cooperate with something so interesting」, said Fettabetch as she started laughing as if he had said something funny.
「Seriously. I have been in this business for a long time, but it is the first time that someone make me such an interesting proposal.
I’m already looking forward to the time」, said Fettabetch as she pulled out some documents that were on the shelves, which she began to examine.
「I think that the Rapapa Theater in front of the main street will be an appropriate place for this event. It is a small place, however, its stage is in full view so anyone could see it from anywhere」, said Fettabetch while writing down some things in one of the documents she had taken.
「Well, that should be enough, now I just need you to sign here」
「Understood, I just need to sign here, right? Anyway, I have some acquaintances at the Royal Castle, so I should be able to get approval for this request, and at a much cheaper price, if I ask them directly」
After saying that, Fettabetch started filling out some papers in front of Furio.
「Since my store will be in charge of making arrangements for this event, I think we could also use it as a meeting point, so I will ask Furio-san to send some people from the Ûgo Store and the necessary materials in advance to be able to prepare ourselves more appropriately for the show」
「It is not necessary for you to get to that point」
After hearing Furio’s response, Fettabetch smiled and said,
「… Today for you and tomorrow for me*.
You have not only given us your patronage for a long time… you have even allowed my shop to handle the arrangements for this Fashion Show. How could I not do something like this in gratitude?」, said Fettabetch as she took Furio’s hands.
「No, no, you don’t need to do that. Instead, I’d rather you sell us your products at a lower price」
「Don’t worry, Furio-san! I am very sure that I will be able to recover all the money I spend on this event immediately!」
「Again, wouldn’t you be willing to lower the price at which you sell your products to us instead?」
「But why would I do that!?」
The two began to laugh as they continued with their meeting to discuss the details about the Fashion Show.
NT: The saying that was said in the Raw was a little different. It was still trying to express that “a favor is paid with another favor”, however, it was said with something about fishes… weird.
「… By the way, about what I said about lowering the price at which you-…」
「Thank you for your patronage」
◇◇ IN A CERTAIN CORNER OF THE WHOLESALE MARKET OF CRYLORD CASTLE CITY ◇◇
That day, Liruril, one of the Silk Fleece of Naniwa City employees, who had gone to the wholesale market in Castle City, was arguing with a man.
「What about these clothes? It’s a masterpiece designed by the mysterious designer of Seama Moulin」
「Wa~, is that true? Their clothes have become very popular lately, right?」
「Isn’t it? They have become really valuable, however, my store has been unable to get too many of their products. This is all I could get」, said the man as he pointed to a wooden box behind him.
「What do you say, Little Miss? Do you want to buy it? I have it really cheap!」
「Fu~n… This leaves a lot of exposed skin」
「Right? That’s the latest fashion, what do you think?」
「You’re right… I would like to discuss a little more about the price, do you mind if we talk about that in the back?」
「Yes, that’s fine」
Liruril and the man turned in the corner and disappeared inside an alley.
Then, a few seconds later.
「Don’t insult me, you fool! Hah!? Do you think this Liruril-sama has holes instead of eyes!? Hey!
This is Seama Moulin’s clothes!? Do not joke with me!
This is nothing more then a bunch of vulgar rags that only slaves or prostitutes would use!
And with what kind of crap did they do this!? Seama Moulin does not use such poor materials!
Stupid fool! Do you really thought you could fool this Liruril-sama!? Ha~a!?」
Liruril’s screams echoed throughout the alley next to the sound of numerous blows.
Some hours later.
Liruril, who left the alley acting as if nothing had happened, took a can of paint nearby and ran to the man’s luggage.
Then, after finishing what she wanted to do, she said, 「This looks much better like this」, while leaving the market with a relaxed smile on her face.
◇◇ IN THE ROOM OF A CERTAIN BUILDING THAT WAS IN A CERTAIN ALLEY OF THE CASTLE CITY ◇◇
「What’s going on? Did something happen with the clothes?」, asked the Dark King grumpily after reading the report given to him by one of his subordinates.
「Errm… It seems that the fake products we prepared… were ruined…」
「Idiots, I told you that you should target buyers who were willing to meet with us alone」
「Ye-Yes… I-I’m deeply sorry」
The Dark King let out a deep breath as he held his head.
「… If my information is correct, it seems that an event is being planned at the Rapapa Theater.
Be sure to ruin thir clothes as revenge for what they did to us. If is necessary, ask that useless Demon King’s subordinates to help us, it would be best to let them carry all the guilt」
「Un-Understand」
The Dark King, who stared as his subordinates leaving the room,
…… *Tsk, tsk*. Damn it… I already want to see the face they will wear when their event is completely ruined.
Thought the Dark King as he clicked his tongue.
◇◇ IN A ROOM OF THE DEMON KING’S CASTLE ◇◇
The former Cold Vampire and current Devilish Cold Vampire, Juteimu, showed a huge smile as she read the letter she had just received.
「I think that, it seems, my self-regeneration capacity and my speed have increased considerably after my resurrection, or so I think」
「Have good news arrived, Juteimu-sama?」
As a result of the Promotion Competition of the New Four Heavenly Kings, the Tengu Ebisu became one of the subordinates of Juteimu, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
「It seems that an event in which a lot people will participate in a Human City is being organized. I think, I could go there and cause a big fuss to show my new power to the Demon King, I’m sure his opinion on me improved a lot if I do, or so I think」, said Juteimu as she inflated her chest with a proud look in her face.
… I think the Demon King strictly prohibited us from attacking humans indiscriminately until our situation stabilized…
Thought Ebisu as he watched Juteimu with his head bowed.
… Well, at times like these it is better to get out of the way.
「Ebisu, I would like you to gather some Demons. I would like to have some cooperation with this」
「I think that is a good idea. This Ebisu will do it right away」, said Ebisu as he leaned in front of Juteimu, then left the room.
… Well, this way my absence will be less noticeable.
Ebisu thought to himself as he walked down the hall with a smile on his face.
◇◇ IN A ROOM IN THE CASTLE CITY ◇◇
「What about all this, Tsuya!? Shouldn’t you do the drawings for the people in that store!?」
「Yes~, but I need time~」
「Just look! I have already made a lot! I don’t understand how you can take so long」
「Half of the room is already completely buried under-…」
At that moment, someone knocked on the door where the Blond Hero was staying.
「Ah, someone is knocking~. I wonder who it will be. Yes~, I open-…」
At that moment, the Blond Hero stopped Tsuya’s hand, who was about to open the door.
「What happens, Blond Hero-sama?」
「… I have a bad feeling… let’s get out of here」
「Eh?」
At that moment, the Blond Hero jump out the window followed by Tsuya and Ririanju.
「… It was supposed to be here~. This should be the room where the person responsible for making counterfeits of Seama Moulin’s products is hidden~」
On the other side of the door was the Silk Fleece employee, Liruril, with an indifferent smile on her face.
NT: Lolitas are scary when they get angry.
NT2: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments.
