This morning wasn't refreshing at all. It was cloudy and by afternoon it seemed to be on the verge of raining.
Whether it will rain or not, we can't be certain but judging from my experience, it's better to act on the assumption that it will.
I took some time to execute some previously signed contracts and shift some of the remaining responsibilities on to the assistants. Starting today, I'll seriously train Avenger and company. I had planned to give them a devilish training match, but somehow nothing strange happened.
Because Avenger is the [Hero of the Sunlight], in such cases, it should have been a clear sunny weather.
Oh, does this mean that dreams do come true for Avenger? If it did happen, it would be a problem. By signing the contract, if in the end all else fails, the whole plan will come to nothing.
Because this could not happen, for their sake, I will kill all human feelings I have and prepared their special menu.
In any case, I need to prepare for Avenger and company so that all will go smoothly. True, in fact, you do not know what might happen.
Due to the impending Holy War, being well prepared is much better, for unexpected situations. Therefore, in order to achieve our goal, it is necessary to change the workout plan if something were to happen. The spirit of the [God of Sunlight] also seems dim but I was able to understand. It warned not to be careless, ambushes lurk in unexpected places.
As I thought about it, in the dark clouds overhead, a gap in the thickness occurs; I witness a moment of light on the mansion, inserting the morning sun from there like a bay lighthouse.
You would think that the [God of Sunlight] thus decided to send me a message.
Naturally, there was a great chance of coincidence. Worldwide, this often happens without any reason. In addition, it would be okay for a [Great God], but for the [Sun God], it is unlikely to know my thoughts and make a joke. Even with the blessing in this world, the [Gods] are not omnipotent.
Well, whatever would have been the truth, the mansion was the only one flooded with sunlight throughout the city, making a pretty good show. An old landscape in a new light, I was a little touched.
Even the mood was better, enjoying the scene the most was Avenger and company, so I decided to start the first phase of training.
After receiving such a gift, as expected it was "full speed ahead". As I thought about it again, I delayed because of the clearing clouds. But my resolve has not changed from that.
Thus, I shone the morning workout on Avenger and company. In addition, I received a report from the [Trade Demons], and since it is going to rain, I need to at least ascertain their abilities. Making sure is not difficult. From early morning till noon without a break, they had military training with me.
I was alone against 5. As usual, even a melee with me could become fatal but it is not a problem. I was armed with my cursed spear, my red spear, the halberd improved by Blacksmith-san, and the last spear was created with the [Greater Equipment Materialization] so there's no problem.
As expected, because of the severity and urgency, I returned [Hisperiol] to Avenger. Repulsing something other than red spears was likely to damage any weapon, which is why I was trying to avoid it, so I just took a couple of body blows.
I had certainly felt the hits I was taking, but because of my living armor, which absorbed most of the impact I did not receive serious damage. But with an extremely strong Overlord body like mine, I did not even need to use any abilities.
The attack was not at full strength, but a pained expression appeared on the face of Avenger, then he started to attack me even more. In response, I drove into the red mud with a spear.
To sum up the purpose of the training, Avenger has become much stronger, as a [Hero] should, absorbing everything he was taught. But I, too, became much stronger. The result of the match was obvious.
Having finished with my red spear attack, I almost unilaterally showered him with blows, covering his entire body with a variety of serious wounds.
Although the fight was one-sided, if I were distracted by someone other than Avenger, then Avenger may have beaten me. In other words he has become stronger.
This time, all 4 of his companions launched their attacks at me, but they were easily deflected by my 3 spears. Each of them were hard and fast, throwing flares and explosions. With my level, what they are doing will not distract me so there's no difference.
As I released their abilities yesterday, they received a substantial overall gain, plus huge racing opportunities in a particular area related to their specialization.
At this level, they are far superior to the local monsters or royal elite. But with all this, it is still not even enough to leave a scratch on me. They are still not hatched chicks. Anyways, I proceeded to mercilessly hammer them into the ground. Our training was interrupted by the rain. The four of them were exhausted, lying on the ground, bathed in sweat.
Avenger, although barely moving, was still on his feet, but lost nearly all his power and speed, and is in a pretty pathetic state. Despite that, the [Main Character of Psalm] and [Supporting Characters] showed strength and dignity .
I think they are very gifted with talent and tenacity. So dealing with that, I need to deal with other cases, because I was contacted by a demon trader. The few days we left the capital was normally not enough time for any big changes.
At maximum "For this product, it is necessary to raise the price" for example, or "invented a new outfit, should we put it up for sale?". I thought so... Perhaps I underestimated the ability of the trade demons. Looking at the report, a satisfied smile appeared on my face.
In such a short time the trade demon managed to make a contract with one extremely wealthy merchant and fully absorbed his company. Thanks to the work behind the scenes, he was able to significantly expand our customer network, extending our reach out to the neighboring countries.
As a result, store profit increased fivefold, which well reflected (paralleled) the state of "Parabellum". And besides, it's scope is still expanding.
There was a slight confusion as a result of the many changes, but thanks to the pre-written manual, total chaos was avoided.
That was the report. For now, the "Trade Demon Idea-Imperial City Seize the Economy Plan" that will seize all the shops within the Imperial City within a few years was stopped. It would not be very good in relation to the current owner (Tomboy Princess). If you have perform it, you can do it in someone else's territory. Why antagonize friendly forces.
However, those that are trapped in our possession as a result of non-payment of debts, suicide owners, or selling of stores will still continue as it is.
Returning to the theme "What is this scary thing? It's scary beyond excellence".
Of course, this played a big part of me receiving information from clones about some fraudulent fees from the merchant, whose state has been absorbed, but the ability to use such information without making noisy plots and contriving, absorbing them without a problem is just scary.
The shock was as if a small company suddenly became a huge corporation. If I mass produce [Trade Demons], the subjugation of the continent's economy would be possible. it's just that their life-span, compared with ordinary people, is rather short. Well, in that case, it will be enough just to create new ones.
No, merchants still exists because it is necessary to think about many things. Considering the changes in the plans, I looked at the pouring rain outside the window. Something broke up there. Until tomorrow, it will probably not pass. Falling into a sentimental mood, I took up the plan for the mass production of [Trade Demons].
I think a lot of things are happening, and I can only pray for their victims.
