After the mock battler we were invited inside the mansion and was shown to the usual room. Ai, who had been released is now currently standing beside me.

[I apologize for the rough welcome!]

Ciel said wryly

[No, we learned a lot and I think this will be a good medicine for AI here]

I chuckled back

[Ku- this me… by the likes of Chuko…]

Ai has been biting her fingernails and mumbling incomprehensive things since a while ago, I doubt I have trained my dog well.

[Ai, please don’t stare at me like that, I’ve been thinking hard how we could fix our friendship and since you’re pursing power then I believe showing you power would allow me to get close again]

Sophia said on a calm tone

[So, your answer is those fucking butlers and bitchy maids?]

[Yes, I can’t beat you one on one so I rely on teamwork to surpass you one. Trusting and relying on someone is something I learned from Miss Ciel]

Sophia proudly declared.

[Hmph your cheeky huh. Relying on someone is as unreliable as trying to read where the wind blows]

Ai-chan turned away and said.

It may sound like a barking of a sore loser but in reality, she’s hitting the essence of Ciel’s route where she would be betrayed by all of these maids and butler and would find herself in a pinch.

[Thinking that way is your limit, Ai. If you’re frustrated, try defeating me with your own team]

[Damn that annoying smile of yours. Anyway, I don’t have anything to say to weakling. Master, I wonder if I can learn how to command my own army too. My pride won’t allow it to be beaten by Chuko again]

Ai said while pulling my sleeves

[Of course, if you can do it then I would allow it]

[Thank you master, I’ll show you that I’m better than Chuko at everything]

[I’m looking forward to it]

Ai and Sophia exchanges glare that contains hostility and fondness

[I’m glad that both of you made peace with each other, maybe it’s time to introduce her]

When the ruckus between AI and Sophia is over Ciel, I turned my gaze toward the person standing behind Ciel.

[Head maid, please introduce yourself to Yuuki]

[I’m not someone who should introduce myself to a guest but if you insist, my lady – My name is Carla, a humble maid. I’m pleased to mace acquaintance with you from now on.]

The thread-eyed maid said cheerfully.

She’s tall around 170cm. she wasn’t armed but the pressure she emits proves that she’s a strong character.

[I’m Yuuki, nice to meet you – so just to reiterate, it’s okay to ask you to train the girls I brought right? Though they aren’t as good as Ai chan, but they aren’t normal in anyway.]

[Of course, please leave it to us. There are many maids and butlers here that came from conflict area and battle zones so you need not to worry.]

Carla nodded neatly.

That conflict is deliberately orchestrated by Ciel’s older brother and if she knew that Carla who was robbed of everything in the past was dangerous entity who hated the world itself and took revenge to her brother, she would be very surprised.

She knew that her brother’s research is a taboo that will lead to destruction and she’s willing to help advance that.

[That’s encouraging]

I smiled at Carla while being wary inside.]

[Then, may I confirm the term of the contract?]

[sure]

[our house will provide you training of the head maid and equipment’s for soldiers]

[-in return I have to pay money and send some girls from Scylla. Aside from the money it hurts to treat people like things]

I then showed a cloudy face here

[…that’s true, even if it can be considered human trafficking it’s still better than leaving them on that environment that’s why I respect you. I admire you… because the only one I was able to save was Sophia, but you already saved a lot of them and you still continue on saving them]

Ciel said trying to comfort me.

[I know Ciel will make the girls happy.]

[I will make every effort to do so – if you have no more objection, please do sign the contract]

 

Ciel and I Signed the contract

Of course, contract didn’t say anything about trading weapons and humans but instead a transaction for building materials.

[Now the transaction is complete.]

I call the construction company I owned to instruct the money transfer.

[Then as promised -Sophia]

[Yes Ojou-sama]

Sophia and the other maids bring out variety of weapon on a cart that would normally be carrying a French cuisine.

[It’s amazing how it looks like that these weapons are just things you can have in your daily life]

I was amazed at the amount of many disguised armament that can even compete against a certain James Bond.

[Unless it’s a weapon that doesn’t look like one it wouldn’t be of use in an unconventional warfare like in the streets for a developed country.]

[Well, if these weapons are put in the market, it would be a crime paradise]

[Of course, it won’t be, not even the military have these things]

[I’m happy to have such things then]

As expected not even Ciel’s brother’s state-of-art equipment is readily been given away. From the looks of it this were the first-generation equipment while the second-generation equipment might not be in circulation yet. But, it’s still more than enough for a private army to use.

The quality of the weapon can even deal with the SDF, not to mention the police, of course as long as the air force isn’t involved itself.

(Honestly, I want to have a subcontract with her brother to steal their technology)

In terms of personal wealth, I can say that I’m fine as it is, but in terms of the ability to develop a weapon industry company, I don’t have enough money to spare for that.

(I just hope that the companies I invested would do well, but I wonder what will happen?)

I began to not just to concentrate on stock investment but also dabble in industries that I know that will grow in the future. Many of it are IT related company, also I started a company that would make smart phone and was about to pull some engineers on my sides.

I’m not saying that I’m in the level of Steve Jobs from Apple but I’m aiming to be able to stand side by side with Softbank, though I don’t know the game world might force it so that smartphone won’t exist in this world. Even if that’s the case I can’t help but pursue it considering the potential success of it.

(I mean isn’t it strange that this world has an advanced science and technology for it’s supposed time but smartphone doesn’t exist)

(I guess it must be because the explosive spread of smartphone wasn’t even expected by the writer of Kumosora)

It’s quite hard to predict the future. If people’s imagination had been right there would have been cars already running inside tubular highways and or army of intelligent dolphins attacking us.

[It seems that Brother have high expectations of you Yuuki]

[I’ll do my best to live up to his expectation]

[That’s right. I really want you to do your best. If you succeed then, I will also-]

[What Is it?]

[No, it’s nothing. I don’t want to talk about it right now]

Ciel smiled vaguely while mumbling her words.
