Chapter 122 The Deal have been Settled (2/2)

[Unnn, nice to meet you.]

[……One moment please……]

Alice, who was in her usual good mood, after she became aware of Kuro’s presence when she spoke to her, I could clearly see that she’s trembling even when she’s wearing that stuffed costume.

Then, after telling Kuro to wait a minute, she moved behind the counter, took off her costume, and came back…… kneeling down on both of her knees in front of Kuro, bowing her head.

[……Ummm, please accept my apologies. It’s just my usual habit so…… errr…… if you could spare my life……]

[I’m not here to kill you though!?]

As expected, even if it’s Alice, she doesn’t seem to joke around like she usually does when dealing with Kuro, the Underworld King, and apologizes with a nervous look on her face.

Still, she only wore her opera mask but……

[……Errr, can we just get on with it and see the magic tool?]

[Y- Yes! T- T- This way.]

[……Oi, we’re not talking about your stuffed costumes, bring us to where the futons you made are……]

[Ahh, y- y- you’re right.]

Unusually, Alice seems like she would blow up, as when she led us to her stuffed costumes doesn’t seem to be her usual boke, but just a plain mistake.

Alice hurriedly brought the futons she made this time.

I don’t know if I should have expected it since she has a good sense of style, but even the design of the futon she made looked elegant that it wouldn’t be strange even if seen in a noble’s house.

Kuro takes the futon and looks at it from various angles, then looks at Alice with a slightly surprised expression on her face.

[……What an incredibly beautiful technique you used here huh. It’s sophisticated and lean…… You have quite an amazing magical craftsmanship huh.]

[I- I- I’m not that extravagant.]

[Unnn! With this kind of work, we could sell it right away…… Would you mind making this for my company?]

[Yes, it’s a pleasure.]

It seems that Kuro has a high evaluation of the magic tool, as she told her that she would procure it from her.

[Can this be mass-produced?]

[Y- Yes! Give me a few days, and I could prepare a whole bunch of them……]

[Unnn……. I’d say the cost of materials is about 3000R…… Then, how about we stock up on them at about 10000R a piece?]

[Pfft!? 1- 10000R!?]

To my surprise, Kuro seems to purchase the futon at more than three times the material cost. I wonder if she’d make a profit if she bought it for that cost?

Then, as if sensing my doubts, Kuro slightly smiled.

[There aren’t many magicians that are able to set up a technique like this, even within the Demon Realm. If I consider that, this much is appropriate…… I guess these would mainly be sold to the nobles? I’d also like you to make a low-cost sleeping bag for the adventurers and the general public, but can you make those?]

[Y- Yes. Of course.]

[Unnn, then, as for that sleeping bag, I’ll pay you 50% of the net profit for being the inventor…… I’ll have a representative from my company come by some other time to formalize the contract.]

[F- Fifty percent!?]

I don’t if I should say it’s to be expected from her or anything like that… but Kuro promptly advanced the conversation, and quickly put together a business meeting.

[U- Umm…… Underworld King-sama?]

[Unnn?]

[I- It’s just that I feel like those conditions were too advantageous for me……]

[You were specially referred to by Kaito-kun after all. Consider it as a service.]

[T- Thank you very much.]

[Unnn. Then…… in about four days, I’ll have them come back with the contract, are you alright with that?]

[Yes.]

It seems that Kuro is willing to sign a contract that’s favorable to Alice, considering that I introduced her.

I’m really grateful for that…… I guess I’ll have to thank Kuro again.

Dear Mom, Dad——- I visited Alice with Kuro. I don’t know if I should say that it’s expected of Kuro, but their conversation advanced without a hitch—– and the deal seems to have been settled.

It somehow feels like it’s been a long time since he went out with Kuro.
