Issei - This is the Bigbux Company? Looks more like a city.
The party arrived at a town of comparable extravagance to the capital.
Riche - It's not. Apparently, it really is a company. Most of the people who live here are either employees or their families.
Issei - They employ these many people?
Ramius - You can see why the CEO can give the king his opinions.
Gurigura - Oh, that big buildings says it's the CEO office.
Issei - That whole building is an office?
...
Rocinante - Bonjour. I'm Rocinante, CEO of Bigbux.
Issei - 'Jackpot'
The first time Issei saw the Rocinante he knows this is their guy... He reeks with an evil aura.
Riche - Thank you for meeting with us. I'm the second Princess of the Kingdom of Eden, Riche.
When the party handed their letter of introduction in at the front desk, they were immediately allowed into the CEO's room.
Rocinante face is like a weasel, he has purple hair styled like an ant antenna at front. He's a skinny guy. His clothes are purple with gold colored outlines. The most that stand out from his face is his teeth which like bunny bucktooth. (AN: https://alicesoft.fandom.com/wiki/Rocinante?file=Rocinante-portrait.png his face).
Rocinante - Non, non, if you just said you're royalty, I would have made time for you without the general's introduction. Now, what is it you'd like? If you're inviting me to open factories in Eden, I may look into it, depending on the offer.
Riche - Oh, that's a fine idea. But unfortunately, that's not what I'm here for today.
Riche detailed the existence of the evil organization known as and the possibility that King Ben had ties with them.
Rocinante - Sacre bleu! There's such an organization out there? How dreadful.
Riche - If this country were to be harmed, your company most assuredly would be as well. If you want to prevent that, you need to help.
Rocinante - Oui, naturally. But I do have a business to run. If you can't provide proof, it's hard to justify putting time into this.
Issei - Hmm... Proof huh...
Issei smirked at Rocinante.
Rocinante felt like he's being observed by a Dragon and he seems to know everything about him... He feels insecure by feeling Issei's gaze on him. 'So this is the top-ranked enemy set by Shiro and Kuro that must be avoided at all cost... Indeed... He is truly a frightening man...'
Rocinante feinting ignorance by Issei's gaze but inside he felt frightened.
Rocinante - Yes. You could buy my time some other way if you're interested.
Issei - Hoo... What is it?
Rocinante - You see, my company has an urgent order from a major magic appliance manufacturer, but we've been unable to get ahold of the materials we need.
Riche - And you think we can get those materials for you?
Rocinante - You catch on fast. We can only get those materials from the Kalar Forest, but the Kalars aren't interested in exporting.
Riche - I see, so negotiations aren't going well, and with the deadline approaching, a third party like us could give you another means of acquisition. Are you sure, though? We'd find out what plastic's made of.
Rocinante - I wouldn't expect that a princess from Eden would be an industry spy.
Riche - 'Just what you'd expect from a big company's CEO. He knows what he's doing. By using my status, he can push negotiation forward and keep us from spilling anything at the same time.'
Riche felt Rocinante is a very talented businessman indeed.
Riche - Okay, I get the gist of it. Ise, what do you think?
Issei - Hmm... Sure, why not.
Issei just smirked at Rocinante plan for now.
Riche - My husband approves, so we'll do it.
Rocinante - Tres Bien. It's a deal. 'Going out of her way to separate herself from her position as a princess... Competent girl... But her husband is even more terrifying...'
Albeit with some compromises occurring beneath the surface, negotiations with Rocinante went well.
Issei has to admit that this Rocinante guy is better compared to Rochefort which obviously can't hide his emotion well. If he didn't know better then he might just be fooled by him.
Gurigura - Riche, that was kinda awesome.
Issei - Um. I have to agree you handle yourself splendidly.
Riche - Hmph! But of course! Whose wife do you think I am?
She pumped her chest out feeling proud by Issei's praise.
Issei chuckled at her seeing that, but then he takes a hold of her waist and whispered to her ears "My little wife of course."
Riche who heard that feeling bashful and happy while letting out a goofy laugh "Ehehe~".
Ramius feeling jealous by their intimate contact so she also scoots towards Issei said acting proud as if she done something good as well. Issei can only smile wryly at her and also give her a hug which instantly makes her beaming with happiness.
Gurigura also smiled wryly and felt like both of them are like kids... But she also joins them soon after.
Their lovey-dovey act is causing the single men who are around felt jealous and thought the same thing on their mind, which is "RIAJUU! EXPLODE!".
...
Ramius - I barely followed the conversation, but I got that there was some scheming going on.
Riche - That's a rude thing to call it! Negotiations... Or, well, business is like that. That's all.
Gurigura - What do you think about that Negotiations, Ise-nii?
Hearing Gurigura words both Ramius and Riche also looked toward Issei.
Issei - Hm? Well... I'm quite sure he's with the .
Riche - What?!
Ramius - What makes you so sure?
Gurigura just keeps looking at Issei waiting for him to continue.
Issei - I can sense aura remember? His aura is pure evil just like Rochefort and as for the rest... It's up to you to find out about the truth.
Riche - Hrrm... Well, if he is with the we need concrete evidence on it. And all we can do so far is to follow his demands for now.
Ramius - Indeed... But at least with this knowledge, we can be more cautious with Rocinante.
Issei - Ah. For now, we can go to the Kalar Forest and get the materials to make plastic. And also see if the Kalars are also involved with the or not.
Riche - Un. And he wouldn't tell us what they are, so we basically just have to negotiate with the Kalars ourselves.
Gurigura - I know where the Kalar Forest is! It's just south of here.
Riche - Now let's see just what this mysterious Kalar Forest is like.
In order to acquire the plastic materials, the party decided to go to the Kalar Forest.
Issei - You guys can head there first, I have something to take care of.
Riche - Ok, be careful.
Issei - Ah.
With that said Issei calmly walk away from their position.
...
-At Rocinante's office-
Rocinante - Now, what fascinating employees. Let's see if they return on the investment. How do you think they'll do, Monsieur Black Knight?
Kuro - Wouldn't know. Never been involved in business, so I can't say.
In what was a seemingly empty room, Rocinante turned around to where the Black Knight appeared to have materialized from the darkness.
Kuro - ...But you must have already met with Issei Hyoudou I believe?
At the mention on Issei's name, Rocinante face went grim right away.
Rocinante - ...Oui... He's indeed a very dangerous person... In front of him, I felt like I've been laid bare...
Kuro - ...As long you don't blatantly oppose him then it should be fine I think... Just don't let him find any evidence of your doings or that will be the end of you. Even me and Shiro can't beat him...
Rocinante - ...Oui.
Kuro - Anyway, The Supreme Commander calls for a meeting of
