We synchronised our time and he said he would be back in 2 hours at most. The time was 5:55 am and he would move out as soon as he had done with breakfast. He told me I should be back by 8 am and dive back to the Realm of Mind with him till 930 am.
This would give enough time for us to complete the making a few batches of the Karada Soap. We agreed and he made his journey towards the business district after I handed him 450 gold coins and my ID to close my savings and open a corporate account.
As soon as the workers and the foreman arrive, we exchanged greetings and told them I need to rest since I'm not feeling well and closed the main door. The work continued outside while I entered the Realm of Mind. I checked the time and it was just 602 am.
I soon get to work and visualise 360 soap moulding sets that can cure 20 bars of soap per set and get to work. I came back to the real world just slightly after 8 am and had completed 3 batches and were all stacked and labelled accordingly.
Hiko-sama greeted me when I stepped out of my room and he waved a red colour corporate account book in front of me and showed the amount.
He updated to me the following:
He had made the stamps and it would be ready in a few days time and had produced the receipt.
The Hangers that he had presented at the Patents and Trademarks had been approved and is now under the sole distributorship of Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha and the same follows as the rest.
He had also purchased 6 ledger book for the first 5 Karada soap and the [Refined Iron] plates. He informed Mesen that we would be having a lunch meeting in 4 days from now together with the former's nephew.
The banner would be ready in 2 days time and will be delivered and a whole dozen of paper glue in clay bottles ready with a flat brush had been bought at the stationery shop and Hiko-sama presented the receipt.
He had gotten the statistics based on a general headcount and number of household and he gave me a slip of paper by the Statistics Office. I checked and wrote in my sketchpad that there were an estimated 2,218 residents living in 440 households in 147 houses with an error margin of 5%.
The basket of lemon and the 5 kilogram of baking powder is on the way and Hiko-sama produced the receipts. I gathered up all the receipts and returned him the cash that he had used from his own coin pouch.
The time is 8:19 am and its time to dive into the Realm of Mind and we worked to complete 3 batches together in that particular 1 hour. There are 18 more batches to go and at 1 hour we could process 3 batches which means we could complete more than half of the scents.
I informed Hiko-sama that we would dive again for another 2 hours of real-time after serving the tea break and we soon entered the Realm of Mind soon after. We worked with vigour as we made moulds of each scent and stacked accordingly and at 11:49 am, we had successfully completed the whole 24 New Scents and Hiko-sama wrapped all the 24 scraps of soap and turned them into a patty before labelling and wrapping them.
I helped Hiko-sama to carry half of his treasured lumpy bars of Scented Soap and brought it back to the real world. The moment we arrive back at our room, Hiko-sama simply lay down on the tatami mat and surround himself with the Scented Soap and he was so damn excited about his treasures.
At last! 29 kinds of scent are waiting to be wrapped in 3 days and 7 days respectively. He made soaps as squarely as possible and he told me he is going to bring these to the cosmetics shop and seduce them to buy all the scents.
Since there owner wanted to buy 100 pieces of each scent initially, and if combined with the current collections, it would exact to 2,900 pieces at the same amount of good coins! Even if discounted to a low of 2,500, they would earn a HUGE profit from it.
”Let's go to the garden and have lunch and see how the progress looks like,” as both of us opened up the sliding door and stepped out into the sunshine and sat at the garden. Lunch had arrived and the workers had taken theirs on pairs and we saw some horse-drawn wagons with new building materials on it.
”Ah, Senior and Young Master, I sincerely hope that you are feeling well right now. I'm sorry but could I join you here for lunch too and discuss the current situation? Kayu-san and we exchanged bows and we pointed him to take a seat and have lunch with us.
All three of us tucked in and both of us listened to the progress. ”Senior and Young Masters, we had already checked the curing of the kitchen and bathroom and everything worked well. The floorings had been waxed some days back by my workers in the factory and had been fully installed.”
”Our boys had delivered the fittings for the warehouse according to the specifications that you need and will work on it in the second part of the day after lunch. The 10 workers are doing some final touch-ups and have finished installing the partitions and had set aside those folding ones for you to place them as required.”
”Our 3 warehouse boys would be delivering the furnishings and will be setting it up with 2 of the workers while the remaining 8 would lay the foundation of the warehouse. The skeletal structure may or may not be completed by today but since it is of a simpler design, I am sure the foundation, pillars and a complete roof would be installed by end of the day.”
”Officially, the house would be an immediate move and live in condition by this evening, I assure you, Senior and Young Master.”
”Young Master, this savoury green curry taste great, don't you think so?” Hiko-sama looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
”Yes, Senior Master. This goes well with the crispy stir-fried green vegetables and the steamy rice too. You really made a great choice for our lunch today... Mmmmm,” I replied as I smacked my lips and half-closed my eyes too.
Kayu-san was silent and dumbfounded as looked at us and wondering if we had listened to him all this while. He scratched his head and he looks at Hiko-sama then at me and back at Hiko-sama in a very confused state.
Then we both started laughing which shocked Kayu-san and he just seemed out of position. Hiko-sama told him we were just trading him and heard every word he says while I congratulate him on a job very well done.
Hiko-sama slapped Kayu-san shoulders and told him to continue his lunch.
”Kayu-san, thank you for your kind update as I can see you truly are a professional and trustworthy man. You put your heart and soul in your profession and managed to come up and tackled the deadline way beyond the 7 days. I really admire you and how I wish I could be like you.” I brought the flattery to another level where Kayu-san head not only swelled, but his balls in his hakama swell up as well like a pufferfish. Hahahaha!
”Arch... I am just a simple man, Young Master. I will satisfy my clients just to make them happy and what do you know, I am staring on another project here on the same lot too.” he said.
”I like men who are brave, brave enough to take challenges, others may say it takes balls for a man to look simple but could take on a lion with his hands, and I am sure you got balls, as BIG as a melon! Hahahaha!” Hiko-sama praised the foreman in an adult vulgar words and the moment I heard it, food flew from my mouth as I started to laugh and imagine the foreman with balls as big as melons!
Damn you Hiko-sama, can you joke when my mouth is empty? Hahahahaha.
”Hahahaha... Yes, we must have balls but they are hidden, while women have balls that protrude out and they feel proud of their assets. Hahahaha.” joked the foreman as he was fond of dirty and lewd jokes and my food came blowing out again.
”Don't mind the Young Master, he loves to blow his food out once in a while. Hahaha”
”Hmm... Hmm... I wished to highlight something to you if you won't mind. What would happen to the 10 workers after they complete their jobs?” I asked to start into a serious topic and a conversational point.
”Ah, then I would have no use for them after this. They may go back to their own life's fishing, foraging and trapping for their daily foods. They are redundant so basically, they would be used if the need arises and then laid off if there's no work for them. Furthermore, this is the first time I hired them but since there won't be any future housing developments here for a long time, I won't be using their services anymore.” the foreman replied with such an air that any bird that flew through it would get stuck in mid-air.
Fucking old man! I hate your kind and I hate the way you treat other human beings like garbage. A great answer that you gave us, puffer fishballs!
”Ah... Very good... Very good. Cuts down on manpower costs. Very genius of you. Very effective Kayu-san. So really, you won't be using any of them in the future?” I asked while seething with hate for this gokiburi.
”No, I won't need their services anymore and they are redundant and replaceable so...”
”I would absorb them to work for us. They will go to the mines and toiled some land far far away from here so you would not see them anymore.” I cut off this old man's bullshit while trying to put on a smile.
”How much are you paying them at the moment?”
”I paid them 1 silver coin daily, they are lucky they get to eat from a bento or else they would be digging...”
”That's right, how true of you to say that. Once they are finished with the construction of the warehouse, they would be digging as well...”
I was seething with rage that I can't be more sarcastic than these and I can't wait to see this old man get fucked in his own grave soon!
Seeing me clenching my fist till my knuckles turned white, Hiko-sama dismissed Kayu-san saying that we have something to discuss and the former took his lunch, bowed and left the table.
”Relax, breathe easy. You will meet more people like him and you'd wish you could eliminate all of them to make this world a better place. That's why I became a samurai and slain hundred of men to stop what they had started but then I don't see a point using violence to end violence. Look at me and breathe easy, kid.”
I knew Hiko-sama was damn worried about me and I looked at his face and stared deeply and I saw a sense of consolation in his eyes that made me cool down and I immediately snapped near his face and gashed and growl at the same time.
”Hahahahaha... You sure can put on a good act, you really got me, kid, you really got me. Hahahaha!” Hiko-sama raised both of his hands in the air and calmly places them on the table.
”Come, finish our lunch up.” and I replied by slowly shook my head as I closed the bento box and pushed it aside away from me. I knew Hiko-sama can still see from my eyes that I was still full of rage but I have to be professional. Business is business I can't mix with my personal emotions as I will get back at him and get him to commit to buying 2 Seijuro Tumbler Machines, a few kilograms of Detergent powder, a few dozen bottles of hair shampoo, half dozen of soap holders and a few kilograms of the cleaning agent.
I could only take revenge and reduce his assets drastically and I would make him go broke and make him taste the life of living as pleb soon!
Gnash! Gnash! Grrr... Grr...!!
