215 6.9 Improvements Around Kitakata (1/2)

After we had settled the shopping spree in the trading areas for the usage of the Tanuki to make their stay comfortable, we headed back to our home. Its been quite a while since we had entered the trading district at night.

From the distance, after we had passed the trading district, we can see the skeletal frameworks of the 3 storey community hall building that was underway. It was a towering silhouette that looms from the residential district that represents our landmark.

We had made proposals for the extension of the yatai service to our community buildings and they agree since they don't need to push their yatai much anymore to ply their trade to their customers. Now they could be at one place and operate on themselves or other representatives from their family members around the clock.

Aircrewman or affectionally known as ACM will be able to forge new business ties and spread the influence of Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha throughout Japan, using the willing Tanuki as part of the floating gourd as our latest mode of transport.

We passed the items needed by the Tanuki and they gladly accepted it. When we arrived the Wonder 8 took their leave while Riko showed the Tanuki their temporary holding area while waiting for their new home to be ready.

.....

Over the period of several days, we had received quite a number of responses from the cosmetic shops that we had not contacted them and they hailed from Aizuwakamatsu, Yonezawa, Shibata and Tochigi, Yamagata, Miyagi, Gunma, Saitama and Ibaraki Prefecture.

The total number of 225 cosmetics shop owners would be arriving in stages over the next few days and we were ecstatic over the overwhelming responses that we had. Even if our ACM would account to only 15 and all from Kitakata, we won't mind it because of the travelling distance between one Prefecture would only take about slightly 5 hours.

Shouldn't be too shabby in adding our value-added service to our customers. Furthermore, since this would be their first trip, we have to set aside several logbooks just for cosmetics for these prefectures.

We wondered what kind of overwhelming responses we could get from these cosmetic shop owners since we had not been attracting them with our products much especially the new ones that we had recently begun manufacturing.

We sat down in the garden after informing the Tanukis of the meal timings and so on, as right now there was not much for them to do except to wait for the customers to acquire their air freight services. It would be a revolutionary way of travelling now, thanks for the Tanuki.

”Come join me for a cup, kid. We have made tremendous advancement in this business and I didn't know you would be able to think so far ahead of everyone. If not for Hachi and Hoshi-sama, we would be able to achieve this feat.”

”Yup, sure... Thanks for the offer. It happened on our first expedition. Hachi didn't mention to us that he could transport us easily to our destination and we were in the door and made 5 stops altogether. After the first encounter with the turtle Youkai, then did he mention about transforming into a floating yellow gourd to reach to our second destination and then head back thereafter.”

”When I was just sitting and thinking how to get the merchants to travel back safely and quickly, I remembered about Hachi, that's why I summoned them both. Luckily there is a family of Tanuki that lives here in Fukushima, and if one exists here, then there might be several around in Japan too.”

”We let these first 15 to become the first pioneering air freight transports, once the other Tanuki saw, we might as well pooled them in as Fukushima being our base of operations.”

”I agree, kid. It's one of the fastest modes of transport if you asked me. You don't need to follow the trail, you just made a beeline directly from point A to point B. With an accompanying Youkai Taijiya that is under our payroll, at least the Tanuki would feel safe and avoid encountering other hostile Youkai.”

”Uh-huh... That's right. At least we have such a huge deposit account and it's not being channelled anywhere. By the way, how much have we achieved so far?”

Hiko-sama took out the corporate deposit book and when I saw at the end of the entry, I was in for a shock of my life. If this is in dollars, we had already been millionaires and the total was more than 16,000,000 gold coins altogether...!!! Just within a span of 4 months coming to 5, we had hit that much of a savings and achievement...!!!

I handed the corporate accounts book back to Hiko-sama and my hands shook a little. I didn't realise that we had managed to accumulate so much wealth before and was thinking it was like 4,000,000 or something. But the figure came above 400%...no wonder the Emperor was very pleased and could pass down the Decree without many hoots.
