What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?-Chapter 989: Business Ideas

I woke up with a start, my eyes blinking as it took me a moment to realise I was looking at the ceiling.

I heard a rustle and I looked to the side to see Katsuki standing there.

"Good morning, Mistress. Would you like to get up now or shall I come back later?"

I was wondering why she would ask that when I felt movement below and I looked down.

Three naked girls were laying on top of me, all of them with dishevelled hair and love bites, evidence of our intense lovemaking session last night.

Right… We did that…

I lost count of how many times we did it but I basically kept doing them in rotation where I would make love with one until they fainted and moved to the next one and did the same.

And we just kept going until I came once for each of them before we all cuddled together to sleep.

Not gonna lie, I think that was the best sleep I had in a while… And no, it's not because of the things we did last night. It's just been a while since I was cuddled to sleep with my girls and the sense of security might have made it more comfortable.

"What time is it?" I asked, yawning as I stretched my arms overhead.

"It's past breakfast time, Mistress."

My body tensed up and I immediately leapt out of bed, somehow slipping free of the girls without waking them up, "What?! I wasted an entire morning already?! That won't do! I'm going to miss tea time at this rate!!"

Katsuki didn't even say anything and simply pulled out a bucket of clean water and towel to start wiping off evidence of last night's activities off my body.

I was then put in a robe and ushered towards the bath where I would receive a good scrubbing to clean me thoroughly.

Katsuki then rolled up her sleeves and started washing me with a cloth while I sat on a stool with my back facing her, my Inugami maid taking the washing very seriously.

While I shuddered from the comfort of Katsuki's fingers rubbing my scalp, the door opened and Emilia came in, the Nekomata practically shining from our night activities.

"Good morning Boss~" She greeted chirpily. "Last night was something, wasn't it?"

"Mmm… I'm surprised you're already up given how much I pounded you last night."

Her cheeks flushed red and she hid her face with her hands, "Nghh… Did you have to remind me, Boss? That is so embarrassing…"

"It looked like you like it though? Or was I wrong?"

"I… I did… Wait! That's not what I'm here for!"

"Right, right, go ahead and wash yourself~ No need to mind me~"

She pulled up one of the stools and rushed to my side, "That's not it! I have some things I need to discuss with you! It's about the business!"

I titled my head at her, "The business? I thought you were fully in charge of that side?"

"But you are still the major… Err… Actually the only shareholder of this business so I should at least get your input on where your Creas are going!"

"Mmm… I don't know too much about it though but I suppose I can hear you out?"

"Yes! Thank you very much, Boss! First, I should give an update! I've taken the money you've given me and invested in several businesses and also used some of the ideas you've given me to start a new store. The store focuses on catering to the middle class instead of the noble class citizens which should expand our market. The store right now is selling goods that pertain to daily life but growth of it is quite slow since we don't really have a specialty."

Ok… What does Emilia want me to do about that though?

She continued, "At this point, I'm not confident that the business would be able to flourish as quickly as I would like it to. Thus… I was wondering if you would be fine with me taking some… Alternative routes to the business?"

I blinked at her, "Alternative routes? Like what?"

"I was thinking that we might start some underground businesses, the question is how… Hmm… Shall we say, how deep we want to go?"

I just stared at her, "You mean… You want to ask if we should start illegal businesses?"

She nodded, "Mmhmm~ We can do things like running a protection racket, maybe recruit some thieves or we could even do a smuggling ring as well. If we want to really go in deep, there's also the illegal slavery and drugs as well."

I blinked at her again, this time taking a minute before I recovered enough to respond.

"What?"

"Hmm? Is something wrong?" Emilia asked, looking at me with an innocent look.

"I mean… I guess I should have seen this coming but… Drugs and illegal slavery?"

Emilia shrugged, "Business is business. Creas is still Creas no matter where it comes from. If Boss doesn't want to do that, I won't, so you don't need to worry about it. But you must know though, pretty much every big business around engage in some form of underground business as well. There is no one whose hands are completely clean. Because if they don't do it, others will. And if the others do, they could make use of additional resources to mess with their competition and those companies could very quickly find themselves trapped in a scheme that might cause them to lose everything."

Ugh… So it's also that kind of World huh… I mean… I'm sure the situation is similar back in my old World as well but I was thinking that maybe things might be different here…

Guess that was all wishful thinking.

I sighed while Katsuki continued to wash my hair from behind and another maid entered to start helping Emilia wash her.

"I suppose… If we have no choice but to do it as well… Let's try to cause as little harm to people as possible…"

"Oh that's simple then. We can do smuggling and thievery. Then we can also run an underground protection racket as well but target other underground businesses instead. We'll just keep away from the slavery and drugs side of things."

I tilted my head slightly, "Isn't thievery and smuggling also kind of harmful?"

Emilia had to pause as the maid washing her poured water over her, drenching her body and hair with the warm water.

"Mmm~ Well I won't deny that the thieves might cause grief to some common folk but their main purpose would be information gathering and also disrupting rival businesses. As for the smuggling, it's to slip goods past checkpoints to avoid taxes. There might also be some goods that were marked illegal in the area that people want that aren't drugs, like specific types of food, Mana Crystals and sometimes even enchanted gear. We could just focus on that instead."

Well… I really don't know about this but Emilia is the expert here so I trust her.

That's why there's just one question I needed to ask her to decide this.

"Do you believe that going this route is necessary for the business to thrive?"

"Oh absolutely."

"Then do it. Just make sure that there's no problem and we cause as little harm as possible to unrelated parties."

"Ehehehe~ Leave it to me, Boss! I won't let you down!"

I don't know if you should be proud about this but…

Actually… For her to be able to do it, I think she should be proud. This was her talent where she's able to market and capitalise on any opportunity to make a profit, something I most definitely can't do since the one thing I'm good at is… Hmm?

Wait a minute… I just got an idea…

"Emilia? Are we selling any books?"

She seemed surprised at my unexpected question, "Eh? Books? Umm… We might be reselling some that we obtained from other suppliers. But if you're asking if we're producing any, we currently aren't sponsoring any writers or artists. Why?"

I couldn't help but let a grin cross my face, "What about… Making our store's specialty to be books? To be more precise, my books?"

Emilia spun around and would have knocked the maid behind over had she not reacted fast enough to move out of the way.

"You can write, Boss?! I mean… You can write stories?!"

"Hmm? Did I not mention this before? I was an author in my original World and I was actually quite popular. I'm not sure if this place would have the same taste and enjoy my books as well… But since there are also other Off-Worlders here, I think they would definitely like it at least. I could just rewrite my books here and I have a lot of them that I can use so we could just mass produce it."

Emilia thought for a moment, "We… Could try with a few test copies… If Boss doesn't mind, could you prepare one and let me evaluate it?"

"Sure thing~ I think I should be able to get it done within the week~"

"That fast?!"

"I have the story in my head after all~ The time needed is just to type it-- Ah…"

I forgot… I can't type it… I have to write it by hand…

Shit… Now this idea doesn't sound so good anymore…

How long would it even take for me to write the story out by hand? I ain't gonna have time for that!
