ch.11 - preparation

Third pow (half a year after the debut):

After the debut Louis found himself getting much more busy than he was ever before. The nobles have been visiting their household with gifts and the offers of a marriage almost every week and it was starting to work on his nerves. Thankfully those visits got much more occasional when the families saw that they weren't interested in setting up the marriage anytime soon and although this had greatly disappointed them, they didn't continue to pester. 

But even so Louis had a lot of stuff to do, even aside from studying and practicing magic. More specifically the deal with Howard together with the realization of another plan which was deemed necessary for his mastery to rise. On the former subject everything was going quite well aside from the copyright which was pretty much nonexistent in this world.

To be fair there was a copyright system but it was only used to split normal production from the ones only accessible to nobility, which was a completely different thing. Because of this, it was expected that the market price of some of the products, which could be easily duplicated, would fall but it still gave them enough time to get some starting profit. 

Although this had made things a bit difficult it still didn't bring much loss of profit since the current deal wasn't the only thing Louis could offer, he had far more ideas. Most of them required specific knowledge and skills so if they manage to hide the secrets well, they would be able to easily monopolize these products.

In Louis's mind choosing Howard to be his partner was one of the best decisions he has ever made, not only was the man very experienced and knowledgeable in terms of buying and selling merchandise he also had his own business, meaning that he knew how to manage a company. Aside from that his membership of the golden wings was very useful in finding the right dealers and buyers safely. All in all Louis was satisfied by how everything was going on that part, he could see that with his share of the profit he'd be able to start the second plan quite soon.

The only thing giving Louis a headache was the fact that he needed to start hunting actual monsters as soon as possible. It was unbearable to exercise every day without having any result. Louis did exercise in his previous life as well, but it was simply some normal exercises without any sword involved and he also did them while listening to music or watching a movie, thus not really getting bored or fed up but it was vastly different here. 

In this world where there's no technology it's much harder to deal with the feeling of laziness or boredom and Louis wasn't sure he'd be able to do the same stuff every day for much longer, especially with no visible progress so he felt like he needed a change.

He was a programmer in his previous life, mostly sitting or even laying down while working so getting used to so much new stuff was quite hard and if not for the fact that there was magic which was bringing some new feelings into his life he doubted he'd be able to resist the urge to drop this all for so long. 

Louis thought a lot about this. at first he had an idea to use the forest which was near the capital but soon found out that you need to be an adventurer or a knight to enter it and even if he got the permission of his father, which he doubted, he still wouldn't be able to enter since the level of danger was higher than what he could take on his first time hunting. The next few ideas also appeared to be unrealistic before he finally found the one which had the biggest possibility of succeeding. The only thing left was to talk with his father about it.

Richard's pow:

The days after the debut have definitely been busy, it's getting harder and harder for me to understand what my son is up to. I have always known that he wasn't a normal kid but not to this point right?
