Quantum Leap - Vol. 6 Kingdom Building Garnering Wealth

C025 Hiko-Sama Is Not A Pedophile...!!!

"Yes, an unexpected turn of events for a Hiko Seiko descendent and you had decided to left all the past behind and head the for a brighter and more prospective future. You had not failed to acknowledge your Comrades and even offer to us a better future that somehow would be spearheaded by this fine young man."

Toshi was surprised that the changes that were brought about for Hiko had come from the ideas and efforts by this young man that was filled with innovative ideas and never failed to put them to work and provide a 100% success rate that would help the community in one way or another.

"You and the young man had decided to forge a new beginning by inviting us to join your corporation, even if we know nuts about running a business or trade in your field of expertise and deciding to have us join you and forge better ties with the neighbouring villages by sharing your business ideas."

Kami shared his thoughts even though he was always 24/7 feeling edgy and cautious of his surroundings, and felt that he could not even contribute to the corporation but would give his best shot with the joint effort of his other 4 Comrades.

"I have nothing to say as I am a spare in this novel, but I still decide to stay with the shogunate, and in these parting words, please, I would like to take my leave now and form my own expedition team, meow...meow...meoooowwww"

Cat Man said as he slithered among our legs and walked away with its tail held high in the air and the 2 jiggly balls behind its butt, making his way silently out the same way he had appeared behind the other 4 samurai.

"Great... Now that we had just hit 500+ words made by your fine speeches, it now to cheers to our new venture into the unknown and share with all of us on the ways to make our lives and the community better. Come and join me as I explain how the structure works and if I made a mistake, Harune here would correct me."

Hiko-sama gestured everyone to join him at the garden as we sat and had our cups filled with yumeshu. They have even had a look of surprise when even a young kid like me joined in their merrymaking drinking session. I listened as the Director of Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha made his opening speech to deliver the corporation development and future growth.

"Excuse us for interrupting, Senpai. Could we have your permission to go and buy some groceries for dinner? We will also prepare some supper if you like but it seems that our supper may not be suitable when drinking with yumeshu."

Hanna approached us and I tell them to be careful. At most I gave them 30 minutes and be back by 6:45 pm so that they would be able to prepare their dinner.

Then the 6 girls went to the marketplace to get the groceries, with the initial gold coins that I had passed them. Little did I know, they had threaded one gold coin each together with the first silver that I had given them as lucky tokens for their necklaces.

Soon, Hiko-sama, the Director for Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha began his introductory speech.

"Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha was spearheaded by Harune by his ingenious way to create [Refined Iron] and [Purified Iron] from these scrap weapon parts and traded for gold coins from the Blacksmiths in Kitakata village."

Hiko-sama began by telling how we manage to gather funds from nothing to build the basic foundation of this corporation.

"It is his trade secret and only I am allowed to be with him during the process. With the gold coins he acquired, he was able to purchase this furniture, these 2 fine timepieces around our neck, the house to shelter the girls from ill-treatment and the so-called barn behind us as well as our sake that we are drinking now, dinners and suppers almost every night."

Hiko-sama purposely declared that all the research and development done for the corporation was all my trade secrets and only Hiko-sama knows about it. He explains how easy to earn money and use it up as soon as it was earned but in a good and productive way.

"With those funds, he set up this corporation name and we both worked hard on it almost at any time we see fit to ensure the initial setup and process would go smoothly."

"If not for this young man, what you see before you would not exist, and we initially both need to back us up one way or another as we do not have any internal help, to begin with."

Hiko-sama explained that the initial process was difficult as we backed each other up as much as possible to make things work.

"As time progressed on, this young man had not forgotten his roots and still cleaned your household despite being a small boss himself. He never even complained or seek others to clean your house as he took full responsibility to complete from dawn to dusk."

Hiko-sama related how I had fulfilled my obligation when was offered to work and clean their houses despite having hundreds of gold coins from the corporation sales.

"Here, take a look at this product that would be revolutionary and designed by this young man and it is named as Seiko Tumbler Machine which would speed up and clean the laundry in only 15 to 20 minutes. This product as we termed as STM had been patented and is in the process of negotiation with a local machinist to start on its implementation within this week."

Hiko-sama presented the blueprint that had been made by the Designs Department to them and explains its fundamentals and operations as well as its benefits.

"He also devised something called a hanger that is now being used in your homes right now, complimentary for you. This is used to hang your laundry to dry after washing and then hanged back in your homes after it had been wind and sun-dried and also been patented."

Hiko-sama added that a supporting item had been developed to make the STM more value-added to the customers.

"In this way, you don't need to fold your clothes anymore and choose which kimono and hakama you would mix and match to wear for that day. Also hanging your clothes eliminate smells from accumulating as it is constantly air-dried and won't turn musty."

Hiko-sama explained the use so that they can use it as one of the selling points for the STM.

"Thirdly, he had also manufactured 29 Scented soap of different smells named Karada Soap for use in showers and washing your hands. Before you are the samples in their original packaging and please go ahead and smell them and tell us what you think."

Hiko-sama presented all the 29 lumpy shaped bars of soap that been carefully wrapped to protect its content with the Karada Soap wrapping paper. It wasn't marked and since everyone started to sniff it, they had suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated after their long journey from the expedition.

Hiko-sama explained that these Karada Soap could be used to not only for the body but for the face, hands as well as the hair of men. He said that he saw me using it on the hair and looked like an alien that emerged from the froth of the foaming waves of the sea.

They all laughed as they imagine that Hiko-sama had peeked at me while showering and half thinking that Hiko-sama liked boys rather than girls.

Here I go again, a harmless little answer that could be well misunderstood by many others. Hiko-sama is NOT a PEDOPHILE!!!

I saw a messenger passed by and called him to send a note to the sake brewery to send half a dozen jars of sake based on COD and I paid express service for the messenger to send it immediately.

"We had already received orders for this from the local cosmetic shops in the trading district and also from the head of building and construction which was referred to as foreman or the "grovelling fat little pig" by this young man. Please take a look at this order agreement and you can see what I mean.

Hiko-sama showed the sales agreement and all were astounded that a single person such as the head of building and construction could commit such an enormous investment. Hiko-sama soon told them about me being a Hitokiri armed with just a reed pen and how he slaughtered the rich and arrogant bastard.

Hiko-sama also explained that he would visit the cosmetics department tomorrow and seduce the lady owner to buy 100 pieces of every type of Karada Soap scent for 2,900 gold coins in total.

They were shocked beyond words that just a humble soap could be sold for so much and at a short period

of time.

Everyone had a hearty laugh when they discovered I stood up for justice through this kind of brutal method. My manipulation methods were out of this world!

"Next would be the introduction of a Detergent powder called" Kurin Laundry Detergent" that would be lemon Scented that could be used to hand wash or used the STM to wash your laundry. This also can be used to clean the floor as demonstrated by Harune and the House smelled so nice that you can fall asleep easily."

Hiko-sama showed the sample of the Detergent powder that had been manufactured as a working sample and everyone was surprised at the fine granular finish and the smell that emanates from it.

They all nodded in agreement that this Detergent would be the next big thing together with the introduction of the STM and asked if the price was as stated in the sketchpad.

I explained that the price has skyrocketed to make the grovelling fat little pig suffer a great financial defeat by us. The STM could be paid by instalment for up to 24 months, interest-free, available to the public, so everyone could afford them.

"This has not been patented yet and would be processed once we had cleared the first batch of the 29 types of Karada Soap. The next would be a shampoo that would be meant to wash your hair, free from dirt and grime but it's targeted more towards the ladies. It has 10 types of scents and would be presented in a clay bottle that would be personalised in design and would not be slippery to hold in the shower. It would be called Hae Shanpu and it is not readily available but would soon be after being patented."

The thought of women walking past them with the enticing and sensuous scent of fruits on their hair made it very appealing. They all nodded in approval for this idea.

"Last but not least, a type of cleaning agent would be manufactured to clean the floors of the house, getting rid of dirt and stains more effectively and be based on 3 to 5 type of scents and would be available in time to come after being patented."

"I welcome you guys to each control and conquer the 4 regions here in terms of marketing, promotion, advertisement as well having your own showroom and office in that town to store, display and promote to everyone to improve the lives of the community. You would be responsible to keep track of stick records, proper movement records, as well as the daily generated sales and orders for the day. "

The thought of the guys treating the corporation as their own, and contributing their hard work and dedication surpasses their expectations of just being a samurai.

Being able to run their own showroom and office really brought their interests to a new level.

"This report would be delivered daily to us every end of the day so that we would be able to monitor on the stock level and monitor the sales of the Karada Soap and manufacturer the scents that are more saleable than the others but we would keep a minimum stock for the less saleable."

Hiko-sama stressed that he needs to maintain strict control and expected the sales generated the night before be turned to corporate cheques and be sent to the main village of Kitakata to be deposited into the corporate account.
