Chapter 170.2. I'm Good At Plotting

"Your idiotic behavior is genuine."

"No, it's an act!"

Lying on the sofa, waving hands and feet, I try to prove I'm not an idiot. It's just acting, just acting.

Well, whatever. Frigg-oneesan continues speaking with a stern look on her face.

"As you know, magical tools and monster ingredients are luxury items. The shell of the Golden Ise Lobster contained nearly 30% gold."

"I heard Ranko-san and the others were making a fuss about the disappearance of the shell from our New Year's dishes."

"I don't know. But more importantly, each noble family holds a New Year's gathering, which is what the items were intended for. It's a significant setback to lose what was planned to be transported to the Imperial Palace tomorrow. It's not about money. It's about trust."

Turning her face away quickly, Frigg-oneesan says suspiciously, I won't pursue it further. Even if I did, she would evade the question.

"The Washizu family is in a tight spot. They have their share of guilt, so they'd be cautious even if they make a fuss. They must gather the lost items from somewhere, or they won't only lose face but also face difficulties in their future business. It seems they forcefully secured the order this time."

"Hmm... Did Papa gather them first? By gathering them in advance. It will be even harder for Washizu to collect the same items."

They must have leveraged the strength of their shipping business. I'm sure they used the connections of Grandpa Kazamichi as well. That must have been tough for both father and son to work on New Year's Day.

"Excellent answer. I have already approached the Washizu family. They'll transfer 10% of Washizu Shipping's shares to us. They'll invite several members from the main family as supervisory directors. And they'll cancel this year's New Year's gathering."

"When the wedge is driven... talent will become scarce, won't it? Ah, I see. You intend to use Grandpa Kazamichi's faction. They will work hard to redeem themselves after being treated poorly. It will also help Grandpa Kazamichi's reputation. Tch, even though we finally managed to distance ourselves from those bothersome people."

Papa's expanding the business to the point where talent becomes scarce. Perhaps Papa's ruthless methods have come back to haunt us.

...But to be able to wrap up the negotiations in just one day like this. Papa is amazing!

I understand the power of Grandpa Kazemichi, but many of his associates look down on Papa.

Wasn't it possible to manage the family with a good friend club? It's a shame. I can't let my guard down. I should prepare an antidote when we have to coexist with those pests at any time.

"Why are you always acting like a fool? It makes me wonder, but you're right. We'll find out how the Washizu family will respond tomorrow."

"Even Mii-chan needs to show some intelligence, huh? Alright, got it. Thanks, Big Sister Frigg."

First, I need to demonstrate a somersault to prove that I'm not just an ordinary person. I also have to think about the performance for tomorrow's New Year's gathering.

With a smile as bright as blooming flowers, I express my gratitude. But Frigg doesn't seem concerned and leans closer.

"Our agreement is complete, right? So, what about the dropped items?"

She moves closer as if she's about to kiss my face, and her eyes are serious. If I ignore her now, I might end up getting killed.

I press the item box button and show her the list of dropped items.

"First, there's the Radiant Sword. It's like a rapier formed from light."

-Radiant Sword: Level 73. Infinite range. Ignores 30% of enemy defense-

I place the hilt of the sword on the table. It has a beautiful platinum handle. When I grip it, the light blade transforms from a dagger to a longsword and even a whip. It's a convenient weapon.

"And there's the Divine Stone. It's a versatile material that we can use for any alchemy."

-God Stone: Level 80. Versatile material-

We can use it as a substitute for Orichalcum or a replacement for the ancient dragon's heart. I guess it's mainly used as an enhancement item, but it's exciting to think about what else I can use it for.

Then there are Nagaraja's claws and scales... Wait, they're not Nagamasa's, right?

Since these are materials I've never obtained in the game, I'm excited to find out what we can use these materials for.

"And... the conditions for the God, Battle God, and Demon God jobs have partially unlocked. I don't have the required level, so I can't assign the jobs yet. Level 100 seems to be the requirement. I need 47 more levels."

I defeated Nagaraja and reached level 53, unlocking the hidden jobs "God, Battle God, and Demon God." There are various other conditions, like reaching level 100 or higher, but for now, I need to focus on gaining those extra 47 levels.

Defeating Nagaraja only increased my level by 2. I might need to find a way to earn more experience points. It may be time to search for the shimmering lands of Poyopoyo. Oh, but searching might be a hassle in the real world. It could be challenging.

"But that's not all, right?"

"It's a big one. It's an accessory, but you can't equip it, so it's used as a material."

"Can you at least show me the bracelet?"

The beautiful woman presses her forehead against mine and playfully rubs it, but I don't feel happy at all.

There are necklaces, breastplates, gauntlets, and bracelets, all in Nagaraja's size. Well, maybe she'll be satisfied if she sees them once.

Reluctantly, I press the icon, and a bracelet large enough to fit my entire body is placed on the table with a thud.

The golden bracelet is adorned with a huge gem. It's just massive.

"Frigg equips the bracelet of Nagaraja!"

She's diving into the bracelet placed on the table. She slips into it completely and firmly grasps it, much to the disappointment of the beautiful but helpless woman.

I won't let go of it. It's mine. Frigg-oneesan conveys it with her whole body, so it seems unlikely I will get the bracelet back from Frigg.

"What about the others? Show them all!"

"No, I won't!"

I give a stern look, thinking she's too greedy, and Odin, looking exasperated, gazes at us.

"May I share my analysis then?"

With a deep light that peers into the abyss in his one eye. Odin says seriously, and Miu nods obediently.
