Reunion of the Two Old Allies | Vermilion & Azeed

Events that are Lenient and Frustrating

| Axuuhh Continent |

Thank you for visiting our shop, you have a reward for both visiting us and visiting us for the first time.

Mina clones greeted.

Sweet!

The first-time visitors are glad.

All we have to do is visit every day?

There are even rewards for first-time buyers and regular buyers, I'm gonna be shopping here!

Things seem to be going well.

Azeed said as he observes the surprise plan happen.

Well, they're getting free coins and free items just by visiting every day, they should at least be grateful.

Mina said.

Now, now, Mina, they've been making our store well-profited, so we should at least spice things up for them so that our retention will not drop even if profits are coming in.

Azeed said.

Thank you for buying in our store all the time, here's a reward item for you.

Mina said and gave the buyer a new weapon.

Amazing! If this is gonna be our reward for buying stuff here, then I will be buying here every day!

By giving rewards to those who either visited the store first time or regularly, those who buy for the first time or have been buying regularly, will receive rewards, the longer you can keep buying or visiting, the rewards stack up, how do we do it? Simple, with the power of Copying the item using the Copied True Ethereal item and copying rare items and giving them away, it's not as if those items are not usable, it's just their value has dropped down.

Azeed explained.

Thank you for visiting our store.

Mina clone said, she then gave one gold coins.

No, thank you!

It's not as if they need to buy here every day, they just need to buy here, they have a stamp card that when they fill up 2 they'll receive 1 gold coin, and the more stamp you get, the more coins you'll receive.

Azeed explained further.

Alright! Come on in! Get in line and I will make all of you your requested weapons and armor, so long as you have your slip card, then there are no exceptions for you!

Gazelle announced as she is smithing a weapon.

She's pretty hefty.

Mina clone said as she is assisting Gazelle.

That's to be expected, her personality is beyond us.

Another Mina clone said.

These women don't really fit Gazelle's workflow, when we leave, we will not only summon guards to protect this kingdom but also reward her with workers too.

Azeed thought.

Many more customers began flooding their establishment to get some rewards for themselves.

Those who have bought here many times before, and those who have visited this store before.

Of course, Azeed has a counter for those that change their looks to get the first-time rewards, he had another Mina clone that detects the identity of any of them and kicks them out of the store.

He will replace that Mina clone soon when the day ended.

I'm gonna be summoning more servants, which will cost me more money since they will be the guards of this kingdom.

Azeed said.

That seems to not be a problem anymore, many customers have flooded, those who're past regulars and those that have visited this store many times before.

Shiro said.

Let's keep it going then, people, we will be using today's profit for the servants that will be guarding this place for us.

Azeed said.

They then continued the rest of the workday and the other task.

Like Nico delivering the taxes that they deducted from the Rath Empire to Azeed.

Master! I have come with some payments from the Rath Empire!

Nico called as he enters Azeed's office.

Nico, don't barge in here without any permission.

Mina berated him.

Mina, he's legally allowed to do that, correct?

Azeed said, asking Nico.

You sure are, here are this month's taxes, they just gave it to me so I gladly took it.

Nico said as he places the tax money on Azeed's table.

Thank you for your work, how's the Empire going, Nico?

Azeed asked him.

No problem so far, the new Emperor has been chosen and he's a pretty chill guy, I wonder why they didn't vote for him in the first place.

Nico said.

Really? What's his name?

Azeed asked as he was working on the papers he's been working on.

I think his name is Kramer Jeddah, and he's not only a great mage but also an amazing researcher, his knowledge to run an Empire is only a second hand for him too.

Nico said.

Maybe the fact that he's so good is the reason why he was downvoted before, and many bad influencers want to take over that Empire, but, I'm not gonna be troubling myself with that, you will be handling it, and, tomorrow, I'll assign some replacement for you there when we leave, I'm gonna need you to come with us tomorrow.

Azeed told him.

Roger that, I'll see you in a bit, Master.

Nico said.

Don't overexert yourself.

Azeed said.

Nico left the establishment and headed back to the Rath Empire.

He helped the other Mina clone to give out coins and rewards to regular customers.

Yo, dude! Here are 12 gold coins for having visited our store.

Nico said as he gives the regular buyer 12 gold coins on his way out of the store.

Thank you.

Mina clone said.

Is it really wise to treat him indifferently than us?

Mina asked.

If you want me to treat you as such, then I will, do you want to?

Azeed asked her.

Of course, I do, so long as Master insists.

Mina said.

She wants me to insist on it, I thought she wants it, oh well.

Azeed thought.

Very well, Mina, you will have the same treatment as Nico, then, I hope you get over with it since I'm not used to treating others just like Nico, especially since you're a lady.

Azeed said.

It's fine, I'm not in a hurry, Master.

Mina said as she blushes.

At least her vocals and sentences are lax now.

Azeed thought.

They then continued the work, with Azeed working the overall cost and profit of each sale and rewards given.

And after a few hours have passed, and the day has ended, they closed the store for the day.

Okay, we'll count the profits later, we still have many more things to do, Mina, give me the NPC Summon item.

Azeed said.

Understood.

Mina said, she then gave the item to Azeed.

I'm gonna need combat warriors, defensive warriors, mage, and so as Gazelle's assistants, I'm also gonna need Nico's replacement and the store's workers while we're gone.

Azeed thought as he activates the item.

He then summoned 7 combat warriors, 9 defensive warriors, 4 mages, 5 of Gazelle's assistants, Nico's replacement supervisor of Rath Empire, and the Grinn Corp workers,

Only a temporary substitute until they return.

Of course, I'm not gonna give them each story so that it will trim the cost and so that it won't cost me much effort, and just order them willy-nilly.

Azeed thought.

*zoom*

The servants needed then were successfully summoned from the riches of Azeed Anima.

It seems to be successful.

Mildred said.

That's a lot, I hope Master's money didn't dwindle on them.

Mina thought.

Alright, you'll be watching this kingdom, protect it with your life, you'll be Gazelle's assistants, you'll be supervising Rath Empire in Nico's stead, and you'll be working in the store.

Azeed ordered them all.

| North Continent/Demon Nation |

The Opening of the Shadow Country in the Demon Nation have early opened their doors to many visitors in their Opening Eve Event.

Organized by me, Vermilion Sarion, supported by the Demon King, and Sune Sunroe and many of her workers made them all possible.

All I have to do now since I organized, arranged, imagined, and planned them all, is to watch the event happen and let the others do it.

They insisted on it, so I did so.

Though I know Sune is mainly the one that suggested it, I don't mind, since doing nothing is one of my specialties.

What a sloth.

Are you just gonna name me all the seven deadly sins, VA?

I asked VA while I was strolling around the Shadow Country, while the Opening Eve occurs.

Miss Ver!

I heard someone called me.

I then saw Scrulk and Commander Repertoire.

Sup, you two, hope the opening isn't as dull as it is.

I said, greeting them as well.

Not really, it's great, I love the design of the decorations and the food stalls is awesome.

Scrulk said.

This guy's enthusiasm is so out of contrast with his looks, and it's alluring me to be one too.

Don't judge the book by its cover.

I heard that for like many many years now, VA.

IT IS BETTER THAN I EXPECTED, I WISH WE HIRED YOU FOR THE KING'S FIRST KING SPEECH CELEBRATION FOR THE DECORATIONS, MISS SARION.

Commander Repertoire said.

Hahaha! Actually, Sune is the one who made them, I gave her some few tips and tricks for it and she did the rest.

I told him.

THAT IS VERY UNEXPECTED OF MISS SUNROE, ANYWAY, WE SHALL EXPLORE THE COUNTRY MORE, YOU GO BACK TO YOUR DUTIES.

Commander said.

Okay, have fun, you two.

I said.

You sound like a mother.

I'm a dude and I'm inside a girl, I'll have you imagine the rest, VA.

I then went on to strolling around the country, seeing some issues and troublemakers, since I heard they're common back in my world too.

I did help with some troubles that occur, like accidents and issues of other stalls.

I'm not useless, since I'm a genius.

Many Demons visited so I have to watch out tenfold.

I saw the King and the other Commanders are exploring here as well, but then I saw Sune with them.

She's probably touring them since they are special guests.

Oh, King's with Sune, the other Commanders are with her too.

I then went there to say hi, of course, I will greet them professionally.

King! Commanders! Good evening.

I greeted them.

MISS SARION, GOOD EVENING AS WELL.

The King said.

IT IS LIKE WE DID NOT SEE YESTERDAY, MISS SARION, HOW HAS YOUR EVENING GOING FOR YOU?

Commander Quebec asked.

Nothing more, nothing less, I got what I expected for the day, all I want to do now is do my job well.

I said.

COME ON NOW, YOU ONLY HAVE TO WATCH THE COUNTRY WHILE THE EVENT IS HAPPENING, RIGHT? SURELY IT IS NOT AS HARD AS IT SEEMS TO BE.

Commander Surgon asked.

I never told him I'm the Overseer of this Country yet, he did his research I guess.

He knows every bit of information, he's very knowledgeable not only in a genius way but his Intel output is in an incredible state as well.

That's like a hacker from a Sci-Fi film.

I do, there's still trouble that comes with being one, despite being a powerful being myself.

I said.

Correct, even mundane things are still hard for someone as powerful as Vermilion, shall we?

Sune said.

I'm wrecked there.

You are.

WELL, WE SHALL SEE YOU AROUND, MISS SARION.

The King said.

They then returned to exploring with the other special guests, of course, I returned to doing my Overseer work.

After a few hours have passed, my workday has ended.

When I went home, of course, Sune is living there too, the atmosphere is always awkward, for me at least.

Sune.

I called.

You really have to go in there to show off, huh?

Sune asked.

Well, at first I was about to say hi when I saw the King and the other Commanders there, but when I saw you with them, you know it...

I said.

At the very least you acted nicely and they liked your attitude as well.

She said.

I guess staying here with her is still too much for me, I'm gonna stay at the Demon Kingdom for a while.

Should I inform her?

I can tell her myself.

I'm gonna head out for a while, I'm heading to the Kingdom, I'm gonna be doing something there, find me at our previous lodging if you need me.

I said.

You're not tired?

She asked, she's worried, huh?

Not yet, well, not after I discovered something that piqued my interest, if I'm not at our lodging there, I'm at the Grand Library.

I said.

I'm still not done with the History of the Axis Continent, I'll do my best to research it more thoroughly since it could lead me to Forcivan and Azeed.

Okay, then, good night, Ver.

She said.

Good night too, Sune.

I said, I then left our home and went to the Kingdom.

Just like I said, I stayed at our lodging there, Doregor's lodging to be precise.

I'm gonna sort my awkwardness with her, I hate it.
