The Obsessive Second Male Lead Has Gone Wild-Chapter 3: Rurutia, who was released from the experiments, received several classes.
Rurutia, who was released from the experiments, received several classes.
It was because she had to be intelligent and decent to be able to marry at a high price.
Regardless of her father’s intention, studying for Rurutia was fun, in particular, Gust Espeda’s history class was the most interesting.
Originally, he was the supervisor of the iron mines in Brücke. Now he was in the first position at the top of the Brücke.
“There was a time when the superior race prevailed among the nobles.” he said. “Both my family and I have entered the business, but only a few companies have survived.”
One of them was the Brücke’s main company, which took care of the daily needs of free people.
The nobles, who easily thought of using the most expensive items of the highest quality, dedicated themselves to manufacturing and selling them for consumption among themselves.
Gael also imagined expensive sculptures to sell to the nobles.
He summoned his vassals and explained his business plan.
“I plan to make and sell sculptures. It is a business that will never fail because you only need to get a black crystal gemstone and an excellent craftsman.”
The black mineral was a symbol of good luck. There were many who wanted it.
“lt’ll come up with something nice, but the raw material is expensive. There is only one mine where black crystals are mined.”
“Isn’t it a problem if you sell the finished product at such a high price? If you sell one, it’s worth fifty stones!”
Brücke’s vassals noticed each other.
He had several businesses, so he easily jumped at the opportunity. There were several nobles who declared themselves bankrupt.
They would not be ruined by falling into a single bad business, but it would have had a negative effect on them.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it myself. Hasn’t this property flourished so much with my outstanding skills?”
Gael made several balls with his outstanding magic skills, and received additional states. Thanks to this, he has the largest territory of all the Brücke.
They developed a vague belief in the Master.
“It’s a good idea.”
“You think so? Then I’ll raise taxes.”
Of course you should.
“Haha. That’s good. If you succeed, I’ll give you each a nice villa.”
“Very nice. I’m already looking forward to it.”
Everyone was excited about success, but only one man didn’t laugh.
Espeda, one of Brücke’s vassals, represented by Gust, the young successor to the family.
The only black crystal mine in the Empire was owned by another family. Rumors that the Brücke family is starting a business may have raised the price of the ore ten or twenty times.
It is even rumoured that the mining volume is declining, so I could not predict how much the price will increase in the future. It was a high-risk business.
If it did, no one would know if the business would really flourish.
He was brave.
“There are already many top-notch operations for nobles. We must target the free people.”
“Are you saying my plan is wrong?”
Gael was very upset, but Gust didn’t back down.
If it doesn’t work, Espeda’s whole family will be held responsible!
He threatened to proceed at will, but Gust didn’t back down.
As a result, most of Brücke’s vassals succeeded in following Gust’s will.
With the capital, it was time to expand the business. Unfortunately, Gael’s permission did not allow for this. Pride was important.
Well, even at this level, Gust was incredibly busy.
There wasn’t even a moment to rest, it had to be enough to bring several new products to the classes that teach the history of countries throughout the Empire.
“Today is a broom? Five of those.”
Thanks to this, Rurutia had a lot of fun looking at various objects.
“Sorry I’m late. Where did you go last week?”
“You should now that there is even a relationship between the Holy State and the Empire.”
“So the next step… Ah!”
Gust, who was holding the broom in danger, threw it on the ground.
Rurutia, who was looking at the book, ran and picked up a broom.
“You don’t have to do that.”
“Let’s do it together and it’ll be over quickly. Then I’ll teach you as soon as possible.”
Gust was one of the main players in the calculation of time and profits. Knowing the preciousness of time, he nodded.
“You’re right.”
He didn’t even listen to young Rurutia. Because of this, unlike other teachers, she felt comfortable.
Rurutia smiled at him and picked up a broom that fell to the floor.
“Uh?”
“Why are you doing that, young lady?”
“All the other brooms…”
It was similar when seen from a distance, but when seen up close, both the handle and the color of the comb were different.
“Yes. This is the only one for those on top of our Brücke. How does it look in your eyes?”
“The color was dark, so dark it was almost invisible. I can’t see it well.”
He smiled with an honest childish response.
“Is that so? The rest of the brooms here are on top of the competition. I have to sell our products next week, but I wonder how to show them.”
“What will you do, Gust?”
He collected all the brooms and lined them up on a wall. The broom in brown shades was high up in front.
“I’ve been worried for days, but it’s more noticeable if you stand like this. I’d like to ask the shop owners to pay a fee and show it.”
He was right next to the brightest broom.
Does it express light and darkness?
Although it stands out, I wanted to choose a bright broom instead of a dark one.
To be honest, the Brücke’s broom was similar to these objects.
“Does it have to be this dark?”
“That’s it. It’s made of rock juniper and has a subtle aroma. The resistance is also much harder than other products, so it can be used for a long time, but the color of the solid wood is defective.”
“It’s like a broom that’s swept a chimney.”
“I’m sorry.”
Gust himself made a noise that, although sad, was in agreement.
He sighed and scratched his back.
“Ha, if they are show up like that, it’ll be a failure. Only if people try it, they’ll know it’s a good product… “
Unlike other nobles, it was good to go for the free people.
The problem is that the daily necessities market already had several old layers made by free people.
It was good to make an exceptional product with the wealth and information of the Brücke family, but they often face this challenge.
“If you don’t find a way to fix it, things won’t be good.”
“Is it a visual issue?”
“Yes. However, since the color is dark, it will have to be buried. This new product should be stopped to get a return on investment.”
Rurutia looked at the carefully placed handle. Then she looked at the dress she was wearing.
It would be nice to use it in a broom too.
“Are they on display in this territory?”
“That’s right.”
Ruritia, who stood up from her seat, took a handkerchief from her arms and wrapped the broom. It didn’t squeeze properly and flowed down.
It didn’t come out the way I thought. It was a failure.
I looked at Gust because I think I might be confused.
Gust, who met his eyes, opened his mouth
“Wait, it’s also a good idea for class to practice what the lady was thinking.”
Fortunately, Gust wasn’t angry, unlike his father.
Rurutia was feeling extremely anxious. She wanted to do something like what was going on in her head.
“I need something fixed.”
She unwrapped the yellow ribbon that bound her hair. The ribbon was something she had tied for the first time, but she had seen many maids at work. She moved her hand to make a loose ribbon.
Rurutia, who had been whispering for a long time, removed it from her hand.
It was complete.
But Gust said nothing.
Will I be scolded too?
The silence was not a good sign. Rurutia looked at his complexion.
Gust, whose mouth was hard, looked at the broom wrapped in a hand towel.
“I will try again…”
“No. Leave it.”
“You are angry…”
“Me?”
Instead of answering, he nodded carefully from top to bottom.
He knelt down at Rurutia’s level.
“I scared you. When I do calculations in my head, I concentrate and my expression becomes hard.”
He gave her a soft smile as always. Finally, she was relieved.
“I was very surprised, by the way. I couldn’t think of using… “
“I thought it would stand out well”
“Uh”.
“The free person-directed top has no decoration or packaging because it saves the cost as much as possible.”
It was difficult to imitate the luxurious packing method operated by the aristocratic family, even if they tried to follow it.
Not only this time, but other products will be packed, and there are many numbers in Gust’s mind.
Only
“Yes. You did very well.”
He was the first person to praise her for doing well. Rurutia’s ears were slightly red.
“I don’t need to pay any fees, so I can worry about the packaging. How did you come up with this idea?”
“I just… thought about how I’d like to dress.”
“It’s great that you’re thinking about dressing things. I’ll make small clothes and put them on the broom according to the lady’s words.”
Rurutia’s face grew redder.
It was clear that Gust’s words were pleasant. But she did not know how to respond, so she only smiled as she played with her fingers.
I didn’t know what to say, but it was a warm feeling in my chest, near my heart; it was an area that had always been painful.
