After a while, Luna Maria finally came back to life and bowed to me and Black.

''I'm sorry, I'm afraid I showed you something unseemly.
Uh-huh. Are you okay?

　As for that kind of disappointment, I see it rather often.......I managed to endure the words. Black was also slightly puzzled and worried about Luna-san.
　Well, anyway, I put aside the bad maid (Luna-san) and talk to Youna.

''.........Youna-chan, you seemed to be lost for some reason, but was there a magic tool you wanted?''
'What?　Ah, yes. Look, Kaito-senpai!　Isn't this awesome!

　
　Well, what is it........fatigue reduction, wind magic auxiliary function.......ah, I see, a magic tool that is specialized for running. It's a choice that's typical of Youna, who loves to run.


'Yes!　With this, I might be able to run twice as much as I do now!　Then it's one I'd quite like to have, but... the price...

　How much does it cost... hmmm, five gold pieces?　Not really that much no, wait, relax, it's me. I'm paralyzed........5 million yen for a pair of shoes is a lot of money. Yona's senses are more normal.
　The reason for this is because these days Alice makes custom-made clothes and such, and they're relatively expensive. If you think about it, the clothes I'm wearing now are also very expensive, ten million for three pieces of clothing.

　As I was thinking about this, Kuro casually opened his mouth.

I'm not going to be able to say it.　Hina, why don't you use the allowance I gave you before?
'What?　Oh, by the way, I haven't looked inside yet. Sorry.
It's got '100 gold coins' in it, so I think that's enough to buy it.
Ew!

　At the words Kuro told her, Yona let out a strange voice in surprise. At the same time, Aoi, who apparently hadn't checked the contents as well, also had a stunned expression on her face.
　Or rather, 100 million yen in an allowance........hmmmmm. Maybe the reason I'm paralyzed in my financial sense is because everyone around me is too rich.

''Ku, Krom-sama!　Seriously, such a large amount of money........is that really what you want?
'Haha, don't worry about it so much. 'It's not a lot of money...'
'....I'm rich. Only rich people are allowed to say that.

　In fact, he's the richest man in the world........

........Speaking of which, Black. I'm sure it's a bit late to say this, but is it because of the sales of the Sadeitch Magician's Association that Black is so rich?
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this, but it's not just that. Also, I've invested in quite a few things, so I make a lot of money from that as well.
Oh, yeah... or rather, now that this is out of the way... there's a patent for this world too.
'Yeah. Chartier set up this system and made it popular. The management of my patents are managed by Chartier in exchange for 20% of my income.
Well.....

　I see, Alice is really extensive... and I understand part of what I've been wondering for a while now about where she gets the salaries of her staff from... and that's where she gets her income from. Or that guy.
　No, but Black is also black, and he's amazing. I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do, but I'll tell you what to do.

The only thing that's important to me is that I don't have to pay for everything. The patents for the processing method of the Demon Crystal and the ones used to write the magic formula are free.

　Hmmm, how can I say it, I can only say great. He's thinking about a lot of things well........

　As I was overwhelmed by Kuro's awesomeness that I realized once again, Yona seemed to have decided to purchase a magic tool with the allowance Kuro gave her and handed a gold coin to the woman who owned the store.
　Seeing this, Kuro called out to the shopkeeper's woman after she finished handing over the goods.

''........Can I ask you something for a moment?''
'The Dark Lord!　Ha, yes!
Did you write this magic trick?
'Ha, yes. That's right.
'Well it's a beautiful technique. It's well organized and well simplified.
I'm honored to be here.

　The woman spoken to by Black looks understandably nervous and lowers her head repeatedly.

''By the way, do you have a contract with some trade association or something right now?
No, no, not yet...
I see...

　Black nodded at the woman's words and then, out of nowhere, he took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote something on it in the smooth, and then put it in an envelope before offering it to the woman.

''If you're interested, that's fine, but I'd be happy to take this letter of introduction to the Sedić Magic Tools Trading Company.
'What?　Meh, Pluto-sama.......that's.......
'Yes, I'd like to hire you at home if I could. Of course, I won't force you to do it.
Oh, thank you!

　Apparently, he was scouting for the woman who owned the store. The woman bowed deeply to Black and then accepted the letter of introduction with a trembling hand.
　

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about the details when you visit, and after waving to the woman who bowed deeply again, Black left the stall and approached me.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
'No ... was he a man of great skill?'

　I can't stay in front of the shop forever, so I walk away from the stall with Lilia and the others and exchange a few words with them.
　I'm still not sure if the technique is good or bad, but Kuro must have seen something shiny in the woman who owns the store.

I'm not sure if it's still there in terms of technology. But the simplification of the technique was very good. The sense of being able to compactly organize a magic formula is very important. If the magic formula is compact, the amount of magic crystals used can be small, so the cost of the product can be reduced. That's why a girl with that kind of sense is suitable for product development.
I see...

　Kuro's expression of confidence is very encouraging. The ability to scout for talent when you think you have it is a decisive ability that makes him the head of the world's largest trading company.

　I've been thinking about this for a while now, but I've been thinking about it for a while now.

"Kite, where shall we go after the magic tool area?
'Hmmm...'

　Dear Mom, Dad - I think it's cool to see Kuro with his expression as a manager and king, but I still like his face when he's smiling happily like this the best. I think it's the most wonderful thing - a lover's privilege - to be able to see it up close and personal.
