Part 4
“Well well, the design was pretty good, but next time, Shiroyasha, you got to count me in as well in designing the clothing……”
“This will keep going on forever if you continue this topic.”
*Pak!* Kuro Usagi who’d finished changing her clothes lightly hits Izayoi’s head.
But Shiroyasha shook her head that was slightly burnt as she answered seriously.
“Nah, the dress does have some form of connection to today’s topic. That outfit wasn’t really intended for Kuro Usagi to wear but it’s being manufactured elsewhere and is intended for the staff of the new facilities.”
“Ne……new facilities?! Making that kind of ecchi kimonos?! What kind of an idiot is making these designs!?!?!”
“Relax already, I’ve said it’s a legitimate facility. Anyways, I might as well explain, although the topic had been side tracked a little, but concerning my intention for today, it’s actually about the things that I intend to do as [Floor Master]. I intend to develop the lower parts of the East Side since we have been left alone by the Demon Lords for some time and there has yet to be a Demon Lord to appear that can be called a Demon Lord in the first place. But just when I was wracking my brains over which place to start from, Izayoi came up and proposed a solution. “To develop a place, you must ensure a good water supply.”
“Hm, wasn’t it not too long ago that a drought had plagued the lands? From that, I had surmised that having a constant and fresh supply of water would be the top priority for any community.”
“Although there are plenty of waterways here, but these waterways are only for communities of upper levels. 7 digit communities are always getting water from outside the city. Although there are periodic rainfalls, there are only a handful of communities who are able to collect sufficient water supplies…”
Seeing how Izayoi and Shiroyasha were speaking in such a shockingly serious tone, Kuro Usagi was feeling a little bewildered, but she nodded in agreement:
“Well, yeah, we aren’t like the North which has plenty of snow nor like the South where there’s a river that flows directly from the city. Regarding that problem, it can only be said as a unique characteristic of the region’s climate and accept it as part of life.”
“Unhm. And that’s why I thought of using the authority as [Floor Master] to develop a large scale waterway construction. Having that in mind, I had tasked Izayoi to obtain a Gift from Shirayuki for the water source ….what I didn’t expect was for him to actually make her his subordinate by contract….Shirayuki, I’m afraid that you need to practice more?”
Shiroyasha smiled mischievously at Shirayuki-hime.
Shirayuki who had finished returning to her own white kimono, turned her head away unhappily.
“I understand what had transpired between you guys already. But if it were so, you could have just told me directly………………there wasn’t a need to get the message to me through this brat. All you had to do was to tell me and I’d gladly help.”
Shirayuki-hime grumbled.
However, Shiroyasha began to speak in a serious tone to retort to her complaint.
“No, there won’t be any point in it if that’s the case. If the [Floor Master] were to be responsible for the whole process and get it completed, it would be an act of excessive doting and would lead to the downward spiral of the lower level’s standards. Even if I prepared the facilities, but the final placing of the keystone[19] should still be done by the hand of a resident that would benefit in the region. This time, there’s also another reason behind asking Izayoi to carry out the proposed plan. It is a ploy to announce that there’s a Community with a significant strength appearing in the lowest levels and to use it to heighten the competitive spirit amongst the others.”
Well, since even a flag-less community like the No Names were able to do it, some communities are bound to get cocky with the thoughts of [Maybe I can do it too!] and start to work towards that goal.
Hearing the full details of Shiroyasha’s plan, a Shirayuki-hime with a sullen face gave a sidelong look at Izayoi before giving in with a sigh
“Uuuuu….. whatever. There isn’t any way to change the contract details of the game even If I object it. Fine, I’ll entrust Tritonis Falls and my community of naiads to the boy then.”
“Thanks. Well, you needn’t worry for I won’t be giving you any orders for some time. After all, it is in the contract that I will have to loan you to Shiroyasha until the constructions are completed---Now then…”
Once the conversations between Izayoi and Shirayuki-hime on the subject on the facilities were done, Izayoi looked to Shiroyasha.
He did not plan on loaning Shirayuki-hime for free.
It was because of the Game that Shiroyasha had proposed that he had taken up that he gladly loaned out Shirayuki-hime to clear the game that was: [To obtain the Gift that can be used as a Water Source].
A haughty glint could be seen in Izayoi’s eye as he reached out an arm to ask for his compensation.
“Well, now that the conditions are met, the game should also be cleared. I guess it’s time to give me what was agreed upon.”
“Fufu, of course. [No Name]’s entrustments are not unheard of……But for the development of the Region, for you to be so much as willing to loan a person who holds [Divinity], it would be seen as having had a great achievement and there should be no other Communities that would want to complain would they?”
Hearing their conversation up to this point, the rest of the [No Name]'s tensed up in anticipation. After all, the winner gets to fully participate in the Harvest festival and it all came down to this reward that he was about to receive.
Shiroyasha then stretched her arms and clapped.
Then, the room was immediately filled with a glow and a goatskin parchment appeared as the light started to fade.
Plucking a quill out of thin air, Shiroyasha gave the end of the parchment her signature before turning to look at Jin who was the Community’s leader.
“Well then, Jin Russel, this will be left in your care.”
“Eh? M-Me?”
“Yeah, this is something only community leaders must do and manage, so it should be accepted by you.”
Jin sat down in seiza and scanned though the contents of the goatskin parchment.
Following that, he was soon frozen solid by the sheer impact of its contents.
“This…This is….don’t tell me… it is?!”
“What’s the matter, Jin bocchan?”
*Doing* Kuro Usagi leapt behind Jin to have a look.
She too, was now motionless from seeing the contents.
The scroll’s contents were as follow:
<<2105380 Outer Gate Concession Grant >>
*The Floor Master confirms that this document is a Concessions Grant for an Outer Gate.
*With the Concession Grant issued, the Community can customize the appearance of the Outer Gate to promote themselves.
*The owner Community of the Concession Grant receives 80%[20] of the payed usage fees of the aforementioned “Astral Gate”.
*The owner Community of the Concession Grant is allowed to freely use the aforementioned “Astral Gate”.
*With the Concession Grant, the Community named " " is recognized as a Region Master.
“Thousand Eyes” Seal
“This…This is…Outer gate……Astral gate’s concession grant…..! We are also the [Region Master]?!”
“Ah, the concession grant have always been given to the most prominent Community in the region and after the disbanding of Fores Garos, it has been under [Thousand Eyes] for safekeeping…. Returning it to the current ‘you’, shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Huhuhu” Shiroyasha was laughing.
---The so called Concession Grant to the Astral Gate was a special [Geass Roll] that allowed one to receive the various Authorities and benefits that were associated with the Outer Gates of Little Garden’s Cities. For example, it allowed the activation of the [Astral Gate] to link up with other Outer Gates, or the responsibility of the architecture or redecoration of the Outer Gate as a whole to promote one’s own Community. Hence it was a fact that the Concession grant was a very important Authority for it allowed the Community to affect the revival of the region through the decorations.”[21]
When it came to a competition between similar classed Outer Gates, the appearance of the Outer Gate would also be a determinant for the level of the Regions.
And since the realm of influence was that big, the Community that held this Authority would be called the [Region Master].
“B-but, now we don’t even have a decent flag for our community. Seeing the Outer Gate without an insignia, the other communities will raise some questions…”
“Oi, O-chibi-sama, use your brain for a while. We can simply give a free supply of water to the other communities to shut them up. Even the most cynical of them will keep quiet.”
Jin swallowed his saliva and the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Izayoi had even considered this aspect when he took that course of action.
Jin looked at Kuro Usagi and asked meekly as he drew his breath.
“Kuro Usagi…”
“--………”
Kuro Usagi was just trembling without answering.
While trembling, Kuro Usagi slowly walked towards Izayoi.
“What? If you got anything that you are unsatisfied with, feel free to shoot away.”
“….---”
*Dong* Kuro Usagi suddenly leapt to Izayoi’s arms.
“AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! YOU’RE FANTASTIC! IZAYOI-SAN! YOU’VE ALLOWED US TO GO THIS FAR IN JUST TWO MONTHS! REALLY, really, really thanks a lot for your efforts!!!!!!”
Woo~Ga~? Kuro Usagi was hugging Izayoi tightly while twirling around and making weird whooping noises.
Izayoi, although he was overwhelmed with the sudden burst of emotions from Kuro Usagi, he quickly calmed down after feeling the soft sensation of Kuro Usagi’s breasts.
“My my, I guess I got extra service then.”
Izayoi then began to enjoy Kuro Usagi’s body. How can such a delicate body have this amazing rustic texture? Although a little surprised, since it felt good, he decided to ignore the extra details since she probably wouldn’t mind even if he sexually harassed her a little.
As for the other two problem children, they exchanged a look of disappointment.
“…As expected. It looks like we've lost.”
“Yep. Sorry about that, Asuka.”
“I don’t mind. Kasukabe-san, do you mind?”
“Nn. After all, there’s no way about it. You can see how Kuro Usagi and Jin….. are that happy.”
“Is that so.”
Asuka then looked at Kuro Usagi and the rest.
Izayoi was laughing at the center of the cheering duo, whereas the two of them were gazing towards his direction seemingly viewing something that was distant.
