The Elf Saint is a NEET, so I Forced Her to Work in Another World

Negotiations and Compromises (Part 1)

***The Lady Hinwe's Room, Dupree Palace...***

"Is Kuro already gone?"

Maddie, who was the one peeking through the door after Kuro left, gestured 'thumbs-up' to the Lady Hinwe. At once, the occupants under the Elf Saint's bed came out: the Beastman, and Demon Saints, as well as the Beastman Queen and the Demon Lord President. Seirna also shed off her disappearing spell, as they gathered at the Elf Saint's private chambers.

"So, now that Kuro's suspicions sated," the Human Saint began, "we can now plan how we can gather more funds for the invasion of Cherwoods without putting a strain on the people and the nobility."

"Like what I'm saying earlier," Seirna spoke. "Why can't we just pool our resources from our treasuries?"

"Sir G has a point when he shouldered the costs for his endeavor," Natasha countered. "We came from a world full of corrupt practices and leaders; he didn't want to redirect funds that came from the taxpayers and meant for the people's services. Likewise, I don't think I can stomach doing the same...and even so, he will hate it once he knew."

"The Beastmen will always support their king," Ursura declared.

"But do it for long, and even the unconditional support will melt away," Maddie replied.

"Yeah," Noir agreed. "Though the demons loved and accepted Kuro as their own, if we abuse their trust and magnanimity, they will surely get tired of it."

"Well, it's for those reasons that I called you here today," the Lady Hinwe then pointed towards her table. "I got an idea how to gather funds without pushing the people. In fact, I think they would even love it more!"

The ladies went towards the Elf Saint's desk. There were a bunch of drawings on it, but what caught everyone's attention was...

"!!!" Seirna and Natasha quickly averted their eyes from the illustrations, and their faces were red. Meanwhile, Ruro's lips drew a smirk, and Maddie's had a nasty smile, though she's also embarrassed. Ursura and Noir, for their parts, remained unmoved.

"Why, this is a manga depicting 'connection'!" the Usarved quipped.

"Why do you even have to put it that way?" the Overseer Saint asked, still averting her face.

"Is there any other means of describing this?" the bear-woman picked some pages. "This is normal to Beastmen. They copulate everywhere the heat gets them!"

"It's not normal!" the Demon Saint cried out. "It's way out of morality!"

"I don't know where I should be surprised," Maddie chuckled. "The fact that you're a demon saint embarrassed by this, or you're a demon talking about morality."

"I was a human once!" Natasha reminded her.

"Err...isn't the humans love this act as well?" the Lady Hinwe pointed out. "Why do you guys make a big deal out of this? If we sell copies of these to the nobility, I'm sure it'll be a hit! I'm going to add in a few 'limited-edition' illustrations in some copies, so they would be 'encouraged' to buy more. Then the funds will flow in. We'll save Chersea and the Other Realms...one h*ntai doujin at a time!"

**Kuro**

The recruitment for the 'Elvish Expeditionary Forces' had begun.

With the permission from my liege, the Emperor of Chersea, as well as the approval of the Human Saint, Maddie, and the other leading royalty and nobility of this realm, I had people recruit elves for the third phase of my plan installing the Lady Hinwe back to Cherwoods' holy throne. I excluded humans because recruiting them might incur the ire of the other nobles, because people away from their workplace would surely affect their fiefs' economies, and the demographics. The beastmen and demons offered to provide soldiers, but I had to limit their roles as trainers and advisers. The demons were of no question, since Cherwoods' elves had a troubled 'relationship' with them dating back from the ancient times; so having demons marching across that forest would not be a good 'propaganda' for our cause.
