Chapter 883: Portcullis Giant Soldier ① (2/2)

[Come to think of it, isn't this city famous in the Demon Realm for being a business-oriented city?]

[Yes, not only the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company, this city is the headquarters of several trading companies.]

[Heehhh…… I guess they would set-up their headquarters here because the city has a dense population huh? ……Arehh? But if I remember correctly, I heard that most of the people who live in this city are Kuro's family and people related to them……]

I was thinking that it's normal for such companies would gather in prosperous cities like Tokyo and Osaka in Japan…… but I remembered hearing from Kuro once that most of the people living in the city are Kuro's family members and the people related to them, the people who were recognized by the world as the Underworld King's subordinates.

[H- Hmmm, I'm not really knowledgeable about that either……]

[In that case, I'll explain it to you.]

[P- Phantasmal King-sama!?]

As Sieg-san tilted her head, also wondering about my question, Alice showed herself.

[Well, it's that…… To put it simply, most of the big companies here are ”Kuro's trading companies”.]

[……Seriously?]

[Yes. In the Demon Realm, most of the top-class trading companies in most fields were created by Kuro-san. That's why Kuro-san is known as the pinnacle of the business world. Incidentally, because she owns multiple trading companies, she basically leaves the role of Chairman to another person, and just places herself in a slightly special position.]

I see, just like how Sei-san was Seditch Trading Company's Captain, that's why there are many companies here huh……

[Incidentally, Kuro-san's total assets are roughly 13% of the world's economy, and her connections and name value are also very high…… and if she really wanted to, she could destroy the economy of a country or two.]

[……That's outrageous.]

Once again, I'm astonished by Kuro's literally unbelievable wealth…… Perhaps, the stores that I used to go to without thinking might actually be under Kuro's management.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……Hey, why are you putting in information that only leads to despair, like ”we're going on a date after the greetings”?]

? ? ? : [Author-san apparently accepted Serious-senpai's suggestion and made it more predictable what the next chapter would be from the chapter before that.]

Serious-senpai : [……You're wrong…… This isn't what I meant.]
