Emilia put down her pen and look to the outside of the window, it's been a week since her last conversation with Arthur that happened in this room. She isn't afraid if Arthur has gone because he is regretting his choice to be his knight because the sword that given to her by Arthur is still intact. When the knighthood ceremony is over there is a flood of information received by her head from the sword.
The content of this information is the name of the sword, how to use it, and what will happen to the sword if neither her or Arthur breaks the pact between them.
Emilia summons the sword and looks at it carefully, honestly, she didn't think sword with beautiful designs like this can be used on the battle but Puck said this sword can be considered as a magic weapon because of the characteristic of the sword itself.
"Where are you now...." Emilia makes the sword disappear and let out a sigh before she picks her pen again and continues her study
Even if she is worried about his wellbeing there is nothing she can do because she didn't even know where he is gone, so rather than waiting for Arthur and doing nothing she prefers to increase her knowledge about the Lugunica Kingdom.
....
Inside one of the famous restaurants in the Capital city of Lugunica Kingdom Arthur waiting for someone while his right hand playing with a knife and his left hand supporting his chin.
After waiting for a few minutes there is some who is approaching him. A man with long gray hair and has a medium built, Otto Suwen.
"I'm sorry, but are you, Arthur Spencer?" Otto scrutinize the man in front of him, a tall young man with medium length white hair with bangs and blue eyes, and he wears similar uniform as the Royal Guard despite the color is different 'I need to handle it carefully'
"Yes, I am. Please to meet you, Otto Suwen" Arthur makes the knife disappear from his hand "I'm sorry to bother your valuable time but there is something that I need from you"
"If there is something that you need from me please feel free to tell me, Arthur-sama" from his appearance, Otto judge, if he is from Royal Knight or at worse, is someone from noble lineage so he needs to complete this meeting as fast as he can without making any trouble
"I want you to be the head of my trading company" Arthur didn't give any information first but want to see how he will react
"Me? Why? Most importantly, can I know what is the name of your trading company?" Otto didn't reject Arthur immediately and treat it cautiously
"Hmmm... let's name it as Emi-Life" for the purpose of the election he needs money for many purposes and he needs for people to remember her name first, but if he uses her name without a little play then he is sure the company will gone in the next day
'Let's name it.... isn't it mean...' Otto have slightly bad feelings "What is your company specialty?"
"For now, we will sell the most popular commodity products from Kararagi, Vollachia, and Gusteko. Of course, we will also open a branch there to sell commodity products from Lugunica that have high demand and profit there, but our priority is durable products so food that needs special care is not our concern except for special occasions"
"Do you have a special route? How about the Mercenary group that will protect the goods on the road? And-"
"That's not something you need to worry, leave transportation issue to me" it's a waste if Arthur didn't maximizing system storage system and Hiraishin no Jutsu for tackling the issue of sending goods for the time being "what I want from you is make a list of commodities need by each country, price, and profits. After that we need to build a branch in each country and with your background, I think it's not that hard for you"
"Even if you said it like that there is no guarantee-" before Otto can finish speaking there is a parchment paper that Arthur pass to him, Otto opens the paper and read the contents and look at Arthur with disbelief "Are you sure?"
The content of the parchment is the right to mining magic ore in the Elior forest that's part of Roswaal territory
"I want you to use the magic ore as our first commodity, 5% of the profit from selling this magic ore will be your reward, you just need to search a reliable partner and everything else will be my responsibility such as mining the magic ore" Arthur put another parchment on the table and this one is a contract between him and Otto "Read this one, if you think the term is acceptable you can sign it"
Otto read the contract carefully but the content is the same with what Arthur said to him, but the punishment for betrayal is a very scary, death. What makes Otto feel it was scary because it didn't say how he will die if he betrays him. But after he weights the pros and cons Otto decides to sign the contract.
"Let's have happy collaboration" Arthur take back the contract and offer his hand to Otto
"Happy collaboration... but why I have a feeling if I'm being deceived here?" Otto can't remove the feeling being deceived by Arthur even if he is trying to analyze every part of Arthur's word
"Just your imagination. Otto, do you know the most popular things that people in capital need from Kararagi?"
"I know several items that will be very profitable if we can get it from Kararagi, but I must warn you first. One of the queen candidates, Anastasia Hosin, is the owner of the large trading company from Kararagi and she has several advantages, so if we want to compete for products from Kararagi it will be very difficult" Otto never have a chance to visit Kararagi but it didn't mean he didn't know anything at all, as someone who is dreaming to be a successful merchant he never stop to collect information that he thinks valuable even if he is just a small merchant now.
"I will give you 300 sacred gold coin, you need to hire several people and I also need a large warehouse to store our goods- just forget about the people, buy warehouse first and temporary headquarters, I will solve about the people problem" There is a group of people that loyalty and honesty didn't need to be questioned again, slave. But when he thinks it over again Arthur thinks it best to let Otto who buys the slave.
"Let met again here tomorrow morning, I want the warehouse and headquarters is ready tomorrow" with that being said Arthur didn't wait for otto answer and leave without hesitation
...
In the past few days, Arthur is traveling to Kararagi and Vollachia and killing the monster in the way to increase his system point. What he needs now is someone who will take care of the problem of money for him and Otto is the candidate that he can think of.
And Otto didn't let him down because of the next morning when they met again in the same restaurant he tells Arthur if they have a warehouse now, even if it didn't locate in a popular area at commercial district but it has a large area that can make it easy to build additional buildings in there.
After finishing the breakfast Arthur put a hand on Otto's shoulder before they disappear from there.
Otto didn't feel anything at all but he is very surprised when he is fallen to the ground because he is sitting on the chair before and now there is nothing that supporting his body but what makes him feel surprised is not just because of that but because the surrounding and the atmosphere he feels.
"Welcome to Kararagi, Otto" Arthur pull the curtain and make Otto can take a look at the outside
"How..? This is ... really Kararagi?!" Otto feels very surprise and he jumps from the floor and looks outside of the window "this is same with how elder brother told me in the past"
"We're in free trade metropolitan areas, and this is a house that I bought. In this box is additional 1.00 sacred gold coin for you to buy warehouse and headquarters complete with several slaves that will be our employees here" Arthur get the sacred gold coin from system with exchange ratios 1 system point for one sacred gold coin, it can be said as long as he has system point he can be the richest person in the world but that's not a long term solution because his expenditure of system point is not just for money but the most important thing is to increase his strength
"I will come back in a week, at that time I want to see a headquarters that comparable to medium size trading company, make sure to prepare people for headquarters in Lugunica and also the goods for transfer to Lugunica, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Otto answer excitedly and still look at the outside world, he didn't know how he can take him to Kararagi and he also didn't know how Arthur will bring the goods back to Lugunica, but because Arthur didn't tell him then it means he won't ask about it because he knows, it best if he didn't know about several things. What important for Otto right now is the opportunity to make his dream come true with the help of Arthur. And if he can bring the goods from here to Lugunica with the same method to bring him here then that's mean they didn't need to worry about the safety of the goods in the road and they will have pure profit because they didn't need to spend money for escorting the goods to the destination.
"I didn't know if Margrave Roswaal have people like you as his knight" this is really surprising for someone as eccentric as Roswaal to have this kind of person work under him, with the amount of money Arthur has, Otto, think this is coming from Roswaal because for an old noble family like Mathers family this amount of money is not much considering they're a magician family.
"Who wants to be a knight for that clown?" Arthur look at Otto and said "We're just supporting the same person for royal election, bye"
"Margrave Roswaal... royal election... same person..." Otto tries to reconnect a clue in Arthur's word before he shouts on top of his lungs "I know my feelings are never wrong! You deceive me! No wonder the company has such a peculiar name!"
If he knows he will be a part of people who supporting Emilia he will reject even if there is a large profit present in front of him because the risk is greater if he working for someone with similar appearance to the Witch of Envy, but it's already too late now, he already signs the contract.
Otto let out a sigh and open the box where there is a lot of sacred gold coin glittering in there, and there is also a piece of paper where Arthur wrote a company slogan
'Emi-Life, Emilia for the better of your life'
"What the heck with that cheesy line!!!"
