Myormiles hurried back to his shop.
He could have sent a butler ahead of him, but decided not to.
Would he really wait for me?
Slightly worried, he entered the shop.
When he did, he saw that adorable girl (?) reclining on a coach.
And, when (s)he saw Myormiles, (s)he smiled widely.
「Yo! That was quick」
A speech style that was completely at odds with his/her face, (s)he raised a hand in a greeting.
That was, without a doubt, master Rimuru.
Having confirmed that, Myormiles expressed his heartfelt happiness that Rimuru was still alive and well.
The other attendants, seeing their master thus, did not react with any surprise and have been treating Rimuru with respect.|
Certainly, that was the effect of having spent an hour here alone with him.
After setting down the iced tea he was drinking, Rimuru went straight to the point.
「Well, what. I've got a job request, you see? I'm ce~rtain that Myormiles will be able to handle it.
I've got an event coming up and I want a producer for it.
Can I leave it to you?」
With a wide smile that can only be described as representing all the wickedness of the entire human race, Rimuru asked.
Myormiles could not read what was on his mind, but was certain that it involved danger.
Even so,
「What kind of event would Danna be talking about?」
Myormiles, for some reason, wanted to hear more.
Somehow, he's been entranced by this person. Without any thought to loss and profit, these kind of unnatural feelings filled him.
Perhaps, he was now a failure as a merchant.
But now that he has become a failure, isn't it the perfect time to serve this being?
So he tried imagining what it would be like to serve Rimuru.
The very thought filled him with boundless joy.
Thus, he heard Rimuru's explanation.
He disclosed a shocking proposal.
Tempest will be holding a Tournament soon, and he wanted to leave it in Myormiles' hands.
He had described it as amusement, but, in short, it really is just a spectacle for the masses.
They will create a Colosseum to hold ten thousand people to watch and cheer for the contestants.
Average people also have the right to watch, perhaps with an entrance fee.
It's fine, however, if the entrance is free. As long Tempest's dining and lodging are properly advertised.
More importantly, moving the ten thousand guests around. Though the highways have been prepared, there's a need to manage the carriage transportation and provisions.
Moreover, managing the number of guests. Offering lodging.
Just thinking about the wealth that will move here made his mouth water.
Tempest dining and lodging is beyond excellent, so accepting the guests will prove simple.
The problem is the permanent stimulation of economy and maximizing the profit.
That's the whole point behind this tournament.
Too amusing!
To have prepared such a detailed plan only to leave it in Myormiles hands!
「This should be left to a pro, no? Don't tell me, Myormiles, you lack confidence?」
「Ha, hahahaha! How cruel. Rimuru-sama is an evil person」
「Ha ha ha ha. I am, I am! But not as evil as you!」
The two laughed loudly.
With a wicked smile on their faces.
「You do understand that enormous capital will be moving around here, right?」
「Fu fu fu fu. Fret not, this is this Myormiles' field of expertise...
I will produce results Rimuru-sama will be completely satisfied with!」
Enormous capital will flow at this event.
Just as Rimuru says.
What a... terrifying being.
Just how far can he see...
「On that note, I may see another way to use the restorative medicine.
It is possible to be restored as long as one is not dead I believe...
So perhaps we could sell it to the participants
And, the true goal is advertising, right?
So that people visit Tempest many more times from now on, right?
Based on that goal, my job would be...」
「... As expected. I'm glad I decided to leave this to you, Myormiles!
I don't mind if the tournament does not produce any profit.
"I want to come again!" If people leave with that feeling, then we have succeeded. I'll leave the invitees to you. Alright?」
