Volume 3, Chapter 5: Great Success
It didn't take long for my discussion with my sworn brother, Apolito, and Mr. Kazanzakis to come to an agreement.
First, based on the information from Asanato, we chose to crush Pilates. Then, we sent a letter to the legitimate Pilates, warning them that if they opposed us, they would end up like the crushed Pilates.
After that, it was time for the Dance of the Sea Serpents. With five hundred of them, it was over in no time.
Following the Dance of the Sea Serpents, Asanato's pirate ship approached, collecting all the remaining items, which were later sold.
Then, on the island where we destroyed Pilates' base, we found a perfect spot for the Sea Serpents' nest. We established the headquarters of the Sea Serpents there and made sure their excrement was deposited there. From the excrement, Asanato's crew recovered decorative items, cleaned them up, and sold them.
The laughter just wouldn't stop.
With Mr. Kazanzakis' mediation, we obtained permission from the Patrida government to collect passage fees. Moreover, we also started operating high-speed boats to attract the Sea Serpents, and transportation began as well.
That settled everything.
All Pilates became subordinates of Asanato, forming a formidable force of over twenty thousand.
Initially, Patrida had great potential as an investment destination due to its scenic beauty, but the rampant spread of Pilates hindered its development. However, the situation changed with the consolidation of Pilates.
Astute individuals are everywhere.
Patrida is truly a promising investment opportunity, but it couldn't be invested in because of Pilates.
Now that Pilates have come together and transformed into a different line of work, there has been a sudden influx of new investments into Patrida.
Savvy moves were made by buying up lands in advance with money, turning them into villa areas and even setting up a casino.
The profits from these ventures also flowed to Mr. Kazanzakis, and not only the Kazanzakis family but also Patrida rapidly became prosperous.
For now, since money started flowing in, I decided to fulfill a man's dream.
Yeah, I'll hold a wine glass in one hand, wear a specially made suit, spin the globe, and laugh heartily.
For the globe, I used one from this world for now.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Apolito, who had come to visit me at Mr. Kazanzakis' mansion where I had been given a room, asked curiously.
"Apolito. This is what a successful man in my former world does."
As I said that, Apolito also turned the globe-like thing in the same manner.
As we turned it together, it felt somewhat different, but it would do.
And so, we decided to embark on our second plan.
To create a supermarket in this world.
Well, it's a cheat, but in this world, there are still small retail stores opened by individuals, and there isn't a single retail store where you can buy everything.
This is our chance.
After all, with my current abilities, I can employ the dangerous methods of a supermarket.
It's the early American style.
Sell at extremely low prices, and once all the surrounding retail stores are crushed, raise the prices and recover the losses.
There are regulations in Japan, but there are none here.
This way, we can win.
By having the Sisarpen hold a net and catch a large amount of fish, we will sell them at an incredibly low price.
The raw materials are already free, and we will attract customers to the store with ridiculously cheap fish.
Furthermore, Yamato has been secretly selling mayonnaise and other products as national goods, with a secret recipe, but there are no patents, so we will produce and sell them here.
I will sell mayonnaise, soy sauce, and miso that Yamato had been selling with a premium and a secret recipe, but at a grand discount.
The victory is already in sight.
We have already secured several plots of land, and construction has begun.
Of course, there is another finishing move: buying up neighboring lands and selling them once the value increases due to the presence of the supermarket.
I intend to do that as well.
Hahaha, I can't stop laughing.
The savior?
What's that, is it delicious?
Well, since my face isn't recognized by many, wouldn't it be acceptable if Kunihito or Yoshiaki dressed up as me, wearing a mask or something, and proclaimed themselves as the Savior?
After all, from the king to the duke, they're all anime geeks. Since I was a colonel, I might as well put on Char Aznable's mask.
Finally, happiness has come to me.
