Noctis uses its dimensional ability to insert all building debris into the shadows. This technique is considered quite effective, considering not having to lift a pile of debris that has been chaotic and heavy.
Once the debris disappears, it leaves only the bare ground underneath. Now, rebuilding can be done there more easily.
“Thank you, yes. We didn't expect to ask for help from a spirit king like you just to get rid of the rubble. Em ... will you not get angry and destroy this city?”
Noctis turned to the person behind him, then replied, “Come on, don't think of me as a wild and barbarian creature that will destroy this entire world just because of some minor problem. I can destroy this one world if I want, but I won't just do it unless you do something inexcusable.”
‘This is not a lie, you know. At the core of my dimensional abilities is the movement between spaces. I could just move the core of a star into this world, then let everything in this world evaporate by itself. Meanwhile, I will go to the planets in this solar system or even out of this galaxy.’
“Gluk.” Everyone who heard that gulped in fear.
“Already, relax. I know that girl still has kinship with the royal family, I will not attack you who are the royal army just like that. So, you guys can be more relaxed in this matter.”
‘If you do not know yet, in summary this King of the kingdom sent his troops to get rid of the debris and start back in the construction of the houses of the inhabitants.’
‘Sounds very strange indeed when soldiers who should be used to fight instead play in construction construction. But, I think, this is a very wise decision. These soldiers would only do some low-level physical exercises, such as swinging a sword, running around the field a dozen times, riding, etc., etc, so it would be better if they use their stamina to get rid of debris and restart construction.’
‘If you think their work will be lost because I got rid of the rubble then you are still wrong. In addition to this debris, there is still material that needs to be transported here from the surrounding area. I guess, there aren't many bandits near the capital even though the security in the capital is relatively poor. Even if there is, the person doing this transport is basically a soldier.’
“You can all continue doing what you should be doing. I'll also do something else in the meantime.” Noctis casually ignored the soldiers as he walked away.
‘Now, let's wait for news from the Pink Girl. He said he wanted me to drive him back to his parents' house to do some negotiations with his parents. Magnifix trading company itself is still held by the girl's parents, she will not be free in using the company's resources.’
•••••
Elsewhere - the mansion belonging to the Magnifix-family, Theresa was in one room facing both her parents. Sophia did not go with him, because Theresa knew that it would only give her a distraction. A little difficult indeed when facing both parents with a request that is not small, but he can dare himself to struggle.
Theresa's mother was Heresa. If only Theresa had not made a contract with the Royal Spirit of Blood-Sophia-, the appearance of the two of them would have been similar. Mother Theresa had long pink hair reaching to her back. She has deep blue eyes. Her body is quite slim for a woman.
Other than her mother, Theresa's father had a fatter or rounded appearance. She has short hair and a thin brown mustache. Truly, none of the traits he passed on to Theresa, but he was indeed Theresa's real father in reality.
‘E-Either why, I feel if Mom feels very serious this time. I-I know, I've been getting closer to Elena ever since we were both friends, but I didn't expect that my parents would take matters seriously when I asked them for help. This is indeed a serious problem that concerns residents in the capital city, sih.’
‘Elena herself does have more strength and ability than my parents if I only think about fighting ability, but that doesn't mean Elena is great at everything. So, it should have been something normal when I asked the two of them for help, ‘kan?’
“A-Anu. I-Mother, I-I, May I ask for a little more money to help with development in the capital!” theresa said with a little loud-lustre-.
‘Wire! I intended to ask him kindly and kindly, but why would I instead ask him so forcefully like this? Will they both get angry after this? This action is indeed disrespectful, I hope they ignore it and respond more to the content of my dialogue.’
“Hmm, capital city, yes.” Edgar stroked his chin. “In my opinion, the place is not a good trading destination taking into account the crime rate there.” Edgar looked at Theresa, and explained, “The advantage that can be obtained there is the number of nobles who gather and hold merchandise at high prices. Also, there is close to the King so it has the possibility that our product will be promoted if the King uses it.”
“Then ...” Theresa was in a hurry to get excited.
“But! Security there is very bad. The profits that can be obtained from the capital may be high considering the large number of nobles and the rich with minimum production costs. But, if you can not build security there, you will go bankrupt facing thieves, fraudsters, and reliable debtors,” continued Edgar firmly.
“Te-Please, Dad. I have Noctis and Sophia who can be bodyguards and shopkeepers there. For security issues, this will not be anything serious with Noctis being very strong,”.
‘Dad must have known about Noctis' powers. According to the legend in this kingdom, he said the previous Noctis contractor had almost destroyed a city out of anger. Noctis himself who is his spirit should be able to overcome some individuals who feel threatening.’
“Can I know, why do you insist on opening a branch in the capital?”
“Ti-No i-this, em ..., actually yesterday there was an attack in the capital. So, for those affected by this attack, I want to reawaken their home. If according to my plan, I will make a house similar to a shophouse (shop house) and help make them as employees. That way, the location that has been destroyed during the attack will be a new shopping district.”
They were both shocked to hear about Theresa's statement. The news of the Red Moon attack did not spread so quickly with the ability of mobility at that time. Theresa herself was able to get here quickly through the help of Noctis. When he used a horse carriage and traveled normally, he would spend several days to arrive.
“So yes. If so, then please help the residents to build their homes.” Heresa smiled slightly as she said that.
“Ta-But, the advantage? I still have no details about my plan. Wouldn't this be free if the merchandise sold in one shopping district were all the same? Aren't you worried that the company's cash will run out?”
“There's something you should remember, my son. We are human beings, not money search engines. It is only natural for us to help each other by ignoring possible losses,” the wise words of Edgar.
“Thank you, Dad! I'm so happy with you both!” Theresa lowered her head at the two of them before leaving the room.
