128 CHAPTER XI NEXT PLANS (2) (2/2)

”Illegal slaves?

'Yes . It's a store that kidnapped and sold rare races like elves and beastmen. ....... . there was a slave of the demon race there.

'What?　Demon race!　How?

When Elsie heard she was a demon, she looked surprised.

Of course she did. It's probably the first time a demon race has come to the human world since the demon king.

So if the public knew about Lou's existence, they'd think the Demon King had appeared and all hell would break loose.

I think she was tricked into bringing him here. He's too dangerous to keep.

'Well, I'm sure you will: ....... So you ran off and went on a rampage?

Well, more or less. He got out of the way when he was hauling it in to sell it to me. And then it was a rampage. The black market district was wiped out by a demon girl.

So what happened to ......?

Yeah...... I shouldn't tell them that we played a game where the loser becomes a slave .

If it was just the masters, it wouldn't have been a problem, but I feel like I shouldn't tell Elsie about it . Yeah .

''Well ...... I managed to negotiate with them and in exchange for guaranteeing me food and a place to sleep, I'm being kept quiet for now.

Ugh, you're not lying, are you?　I just made a little violent bargain.

”What?　You have a demon girl in your house?

Do you keep it?

'Well, yeah . Well, I've got my magic items binding your actions now, so you're safe.

I almost laughed as I remembered Lou lounging around my house, and I almost laughed as I thought that was definitely like a pet.

'Oh, right. ....... So, how did you end up at our place?

Now we're getting to the point.

To tell you the truth. Elsie and the rest of the Hollant Corporation would like to ask for your help in redeveloping the underground spaces of the former black market district.

Oh, we're in for a treat.

Are you sure?　With Leo-kun's creative magic, I won't waste my money, and it'll be ready in no time, right?

An apologetic voice could be heard from beside the happy Master .

''That may be so, but . We want to develop the city as much as possible without creation magic, don't we?''

May I ask why?

Yeah. ...... How do I explain this?

It's better for the city. This makes sense because it's done by hand.

What's this all about?

It's hard to explain it simply, after all.

It's simple. To develop an underground city, you need a lot of people. It will give jobs to the homeless people in my city who sleep on the street ....... And when they have money to spend on the streets, the city will be better off. What do you think?　Absolutely, wouldn't it be better this way?

This is a plan to give jobs to a lot of homeless people who are the biggest problem in my city.

If this works, the lack of security in the city will be solved because there will be no more orphans and the number of military police has increased.

Yeah, that's right. Are you ...... really a child?

Ha ha ha. You're good.

Master looked at me suspiciously while Mr. Colt laughed and patted me on the head .

''That's true. That's what I'm talking about, Leo-kun. You think too much already.

A hot look from Elsie: .......

'Oh, thank you,'

So, what kind of buildings do you plan to build in the underground city?

'Yes, ....... I think I'll turn that place into a leisure facility . There are so many shops on the ground, there's no point in putting regular shops there. Also, I thought it would be nice to have something that only the Hollant Trading Company could make.

In particular, it's a magic tool only Master can make.

I'll have Master invent many more.

That sounds interesting... Great. Now that we know you have an idea...

Yes. So... ......

Then I explained to the three of them in detail about the development of the underground city.

Then I got their approval, and this project was to begin.
