Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

Next chapter between 4-16 hours most likely. I still intended to get 2 more chapters done today but due to several reasons. I'll continue finishing them and have them up tomorrow. After those 2 the next chapters won't be until next Saturday again as planned.

Year 7445, Month 4, Day 19

While we were all grinning and making evil expressions thinking about ways to stir up the relationship there was a knock on the door.

When Basutoral dealt with them, it seems a messenger came from old man Viruhaima of the {Verdure.Brotherhood}. While tilting my head I went down to the lobby together with Miduchi and the Basuraito.Kerutein, nickanme Basu who switched places with Toris in the dungeon way back, was waiting there.

"Ya~ Basu-san. What's going on?"

"I'm sorry when you're on your day off. Our leader Viruhaima seems to want to talk to you. It seems it's in regards to the matter with {Black.Topaz}. Sorry but do you have any time after this?"

The matter of {Black.Topaz}? I wonder what in the world it is. But, it's only obvious I'm interested. Last week, that sort of thing only just happened after all. However, if he has business then he should be the one coming to me..Well, the other side is still my several times my senior. Even in terms of age I'm quite a bit younger so I guess it can't be helped.

"I understand. I'll head over and visit after this but right now I'm in the middle of a meeting with my members so I need to go and notify them."

"I see, sorry about that."

I turned around and went back up to Zenom's room and after telling everyone I was called out by Viruhaima of {Verdure.Brotherhood} in regards to {Black.Topaz}, Miduchi and left the meeting. In addition, I also told them that I was thinking of leaving the matter in regards to Faruergaz and the others to Toris and Zenom, just, for now I just want them to think up some ideas and let me hear them, so I told them not to move until then. Also, I mentioned that my slaves Zulu and the others already know most of the circumstances so if they're necessary they can feel free to make use of them as well.

We followed after Basu to "Elm Tree Manor" and were let through into a room. Just as expected of the place the King stayed during the day of judgement, it's the highest grade inn in Baldukk. When I tried asking later it seems that on just the days of judgement they're asked to stay in a different inn. Well, I guess that's only obvious.

The room in the far back on the first floor of "Elm Tree Manor" was the leader of {Verdure.Brotherhood} Viruhaima's room. When Basu lead us to the room we followed after him inside when he opened the door without knocking. Inside of the room Viruhaima was sitting on a huge sofa making a difficult expression with smoke coming from a cigar in his hand. Also there was one more, a person I don't know standing against the wall but judging from their appearance they're an attendant slave.

"Yo, Greed-kun, sorry about calling you out."

Viruhaima called out to us from the sofa and pointed to the one in front of him. When I saw down lined up with Miduchi he offered a cigar

"Do you want one? They're made in Reida."

Tobacco is an expensive luxury good. It's proof that you have plenty of money to spend and having a taste for tobacco could be called one form of status. Since we all have our memories about the harms of tobacco in our previous life no one has any interest in them though. In my past life I smoked cigarettes with filters but even though I've been reborn in a new body without the addiction. Even if I were to smoke them it will be several decades later, it's fine after I'm an old man.

"Thank you very much. However, we don't smoke."

I politely refused it. He offered an expensive cigar which costs 10,000 Z (1 silver coin). And I'm sure the people of Orth don't know about the harms of smoking tobacco. There was a tobacco field even in Bakuddo.

"I see, then are you fine with tea? Hey, Zofi, make some tea, four of them."

The human woman called Zofi carefully made some tea for us and Basu. I guess her age is around 30?

"Anderson should be coming pretty soon as well. We'll start talking after that."
