"....."
Everyone was stunned when they saw the data of the total sales of the special edition magazine.
Ur and Ultear were stunned, even Karen and Bob who were also worried about the magazine were also stunned when they saw the data.
Bourne looked at the data of the sales and didn't expect that the total sales of Sorcerer Magazine would triple and almost quadruple times more than last week. He looked at Ichiya who seemed to be in the middle of meditation and didn't bother him.
"Men... Men... Men...."
Ichiya sat in a lotus pose while muttering "Men" several times.
Bourne had prepared to become bankrupt, but didn't expect that this special edition would be successful. He took a deep breath and said, "Prepare to sell the sound version. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who want to hear Ichiya's voice in interviews or story telling."
Hearing Bourne's words, everyone nodded and did what they were told.
Even though Ichiya was quite hideous, Ichiya's voice was very sexy.
Bourne was sure that the girls who were being deceived by his magazine would buy the "Ichiya Bizarre Adventure" sound version.
"This is a sham!"
Karen twitched her lips and didn't expect Ichiya to become popular, but the truth was in front of her eyes since along the way, she also heard a lot of girls talking about how handsome Ichiya was, but she was sure when Ichiya's face was being exposed then all of their dreams would be shattered. At the same time, she was also amazed at Bourne's ability to make someone like Ichiya become popular.
Meanwhile, Karen's popularity also increased after her exposure to the Sorcerer Magazine. She also became even more beautiful and she loved it.
Bob didn't say anything since he also felt that it was also a sham, though, he didn't think that it was that bad.
"It's not a sham," Bourne said with a smile. His mood was very good since his magazine was sold. On other hand, he was sure that his beauty house would also become very popular soon after the advertisement in his magazine.
"It's a sham!"
"It's not!"
Both of them started to bicker at each other, then suddenly someone stood in the middle of them.
"Please, don't fight because of me," Ichiya said with a handsome smile.
"......."
Bourne and Karen looked at each other and nodded. They decided to have a truce for a while.
Ichiya nodded with a smile and said, "That's good. Be nice to each other."
"......"
Bourne twitched his lips and shook his head. He had to admit, though, that his perception of Karen had changed over the past few days. Her personality might not be good, but it didn't mean he hated her.
Bourne was wondering whether he had an ability to detect an emotion or personality of someone. He decided to not overthink it and continued to talk about the development of his business.
Ur and Ultear were sitting beside Bourne and looked at Bourne and Karen. They raised their eyebrows, but they didn't say anything since they could ask him later.

Bourne had bought a house. The size of the house was quite similar to the house which he had rented before. Though, he needed to use at least 5 million Jewels to buy this house. His money might have decreased, but he used most of it for an investment and he was sure that his money would increase several times in the future.
During the meeting for the magazine, Bourne had told everyone that the main income for the magazine was the advertisement. The sales of the magazine might also be a good profit, but he wanted to decrease the price of the magazine itself so a lot of people could buy it.
The Kingdom of Fiore had a population of 13 million people and the majority of them weren't rich.
Bourne was sure that most of the people in this Kingdom were farmers and in their minds rather than buying a magazine, it was better to buy food or something since they didn't have that much money.
It was why Bourne decided to decrease the price of the magazine so those people could buy his magazine and the circulation of his magazine would increase several times. Once the circulation of his magazine increased then the price for the advertisement on his magazine would increase several times.
Bourne also had a plan that once his magazine became popular then he would also buy a newspaper company, book publisher house, then create a giant media industry.
However, his ambition was bigger than that since he also wanted to become a mining conglomerate.
In this world, coal, oil, iron, etc were needed in various industries.
Bourne was developing a magic which made him able to detect those minerals on earth by using his "Water" magic. Though he needed to be patient since he needed to develop his beauty house first.
Unlike a male who was using their logic and their lower body, females used their emotions so it was very easy to fool them into buying various things as long as it related to something which enhanced their beauty.
Though Bourne wouldn't say it outloud.

Bourne was in the living room reading a book about detection magic. The entertainment in this world was quite backward and he thought it might be the reason why "Ichiya Bizarre Adventure!" was so popular.
Sitting on the sofa, on his side, there was both Ultear and Ur, he noticed that both of them kept glancing at him. He closed his book and asked, "Is there something that you want to talk to me about?"
"Bourne, what do you think of Karen?" Ultear asked.
"What do I think?" Bourne raised his eyebrow and directly asked, "Do you think that I'm attracted to her?"
Ur and Ultear nodded at the same time. They had somehow seen the relationship between Bourne and Karen seem to change for some reason. At first, they knew that Bourne didn't like Karen, but then they saw that their relationship seemed to become better over time.
Bourne was speechless, but he also understood that both of them might misunderstand his relationship with Karen since his relationship with Karen became better after all. He had made Karen became the ambassador of his beauty house since that woman was very popular and her beauty was undoubtedly.
Though he also understood that if someone also had those kinds of relationships with either Ur or Ultear then he would be jealous too then made them remember whose women they were.
"Stupid."
"Huh?!"
Ur and Ultear were startled when they heard Bourne's words and wanted to smack him at the same time.
Bourne kissed Ur's lips then Ultear's lips which shut their mouths when they were about to say something.
"I love both of you. That feeling won't change, even if we become old in the future. If you doubt my feelings then I'll say "I love you" again no matter how many times you want," Bourne said without hesitation and without blinking his eyes looking at the eyes of two women that he loved.
"Bourne!" 2x
Ur and Ultear hugged him at the same time.
Bourne sighed inwardly since he was glad that this trouble had been solved. When he thought about continuing to read his book suddenly he heard a question.
"Bourne, do you know that kind of thing?" Ultear asked.
"What kind of thing?" Bourne asked with an innocent expression.
"It's the thing between a girl and a boy," Ultear said.
"You mean kissing?" Bourne asked. It wasn't that he didn't have an interest in that kind of thing, but he felt that he was too young.
"........"
Ultear and Ur looked at each other and sighed in relief since they knew that once this guy didn't know about that kind of thing.
If this guy knew about that matter, with his charm, talent, appearance, then his leviathan might wreak havoc on the continent, but at the same time, it was also a chance for them to teach him about that matter.
Bourne continued to read and didn't know what the two women were thinking, but even if he knew he wouldn't stop them sooner or later, he would eat both of them.
The three of them spent their time together and felt that it would be good if such a day would continue forever.
