Overpower Manager

Chapter 45's

"Hey, how many people did you find?"

"One that looks scared."

Elijah looked at me who had sheathed a sword covered in blood before shaking my head.

"Did he survive?"

"Yes, thank goodness I came in time to stop this man's perverted deeds."

I turned Elijah's eyes to the dead body on the floor.

Well, since he was attacking with a knife, then inevitably I had to make a resistance to defend myself.

Actually I was a bit hesitant to show this situation in front of the victim.

I mean this is gonna be something a little off-putting when seen by people like him.

Moreover, the girl looks increasingly tense because of various events she experienced.

Ignoring that.

"Unfortunately I'm late, I did find some girls in the other room, but──"

In Elijah's next sentence──I will be able to guess the slaves he found seemed to be missing something valuable to them.

Apparently on this floor is a place of entertainment for visitors whose entire workers are new slaves, a kind of brothel. That is what the Princess said.

"Then why don't we just cut it out of its roots?"

"Well, if that's the case I didn't find the culprit."

"Huh, what do you mean we lost the owner of this place?"

Elijah nodded his head.

"I also didn't expect them to escape that fast, when I checked the top floor and dug up information from the guards, they said someone had taken the slave merchant away."

"Oh, so someone is that possible?"

In the original sentence of my guess, Elijah looked at me seriously.

"Maybe he's already suspicious about our arrival."

"Totally so."

Moreover, wouldn't it be a bit strange if a Princess like Elijah came to visit the residence of Count Abbas without any business?

Is a reason just to stop by acceptable? Well, if it was me, I might feel this is a little weird.

"Then, let's take him and the rest of the slaves to Mr. Kyle's unction and investigate together."

Elijah with a meaningful smile pulled my arm to ask to use "Teleport" on us.

...----------------...

"Couple, Claude. Do you have a solution to this problem?"

"Master meant, Master felt hiring a hundred extra people would cost you an expense?"

Exactly, and that's why I'm in trouble for not knowing what to do with them.

But, yeah ... Even so Princess Elijah would take half to become a servant in the palace.

I didn't know if he would succeed, but the next day he actually hired an agreed amount.

That'll make me take care of the remaining 50. Because I also feel I can not abandon everything, so I will add more employees, even though it seems rather maksa.

"Then, how about Master buy one more inn and inn and get them all to work?"

"Sort of opening up a lot of branches you say?"

Bingo! It is a good idea to take advantage of the advantages in this many extraordinary human resources.

"Well, then I'll find some candidates."

"Don't the Master be able to choose the capital as the main destination?"

I thought of Claude's words before with, "Mmmm ..." a long one was shaking his head.

"But it seems like it's going to be hard to compete with other inns, you know?"

"Yes, but we can make them back off with a little pressure."

"Don't tell me you want to use violence?"

"Ouch! It hurts!"

"Foolishly speaking, if I do that my good name as commander of the army will be destroyed."

Then, uhmmm──It looks like the idea wasn't too bad.

It is possible that for such a reason I will be able to get out of the army without having to defeat the demon lord or whatever the king has ordered.

But putting aside the advantages of doing so, there was a chance that my reputation as an innkeeper was falling apart as well. Hah~ seems like there is no other way but to start from scratch.

"Then I'll buy one house in the capital, then another in another city."

Because the plan is to open many branches. Ho~ why I started to have thoughts about setting up a company rather than just being a manager.

...----------------...

"And therefore, KEL.Group has been established, I hope that you can work well together."

Simultaneously when I released that statement before Aisha, and the previous receptionist who I now appointed as the inn manager in the city of Aterica, Lena.

"I'll support everything Kyle wants to do."

"I will do my best to help you, Master!"

I shake my head at everything.

In this way, officially my company will stand and join in the fierce competition between innkeepers.

Even so, apparently most of my opponents did not have the same settings as I used.

I mean there's no such thing as a company among them, more like an inn-lodging on its own without being subject to a group or organization.

That's my superiority.

And in this way even though there are some that I think are quite strong, like the inn in the capital that is said to have some other branches in the city around.

"How about we use that now, Master?"

I'm shaking my head.

"Yes, it seems like it's time we use the gold from the booty in the castle."

I dragged Claude while activating [Teleport] which would lead me to a dark room.

I've fallen here before, in a fight against a knight king.

And I just happened to find something that I thought was unusual and too "Wow" to explain.

"With this many stacks of gold, could this be called a B-level guild quest?"

"No idea, Master. I don't think those people are aware of this treasure yet."

In front of me was a pile of gold-colored objects, right, those were real gold coins!

Since everything was discovered by me, it automatically became mine now.

In total I got about──Ah, it seems like more than a mile of gold in that one room.

They are stacked like small mountains, but even so the gold will still fill the ceiling of the room.

And at the same time I will use [Teleport] again, which will lead me to the first target in the operation I named as, "Conquest" in a massive way!

Coincidentally Aisha once said she had previously stopped by another city, on her way to buy ingredients for her old restaurant before, and stopped by the inn.

In the process, I will borrow a little memory of Aisha about the inn, to then go there quickly and,

"Two hundred million for this one inn, how about?"

"Etto, I ..."

"Well, if it's less then I'll increase it to three hundred."

"Four──"

"Ah, no-no. Three hundred and fifty million plus some employees how?"

"OK, sold!"
