Then, on the way home, we stopped by a real estate agent, did some review, and purchased a building to become the new office.
It’s a cabin sized building, and it’s location is also not very good.
However it's a building with a roof, so it’s a good base for the time being.
It also has a reasonable price.
It has reduced my estimated expenses.
Purchase that place now----and immediately ask Aisha to tidy that place up.
"For now, this place is your office."
"Understood Nyah."
At this early stage, I want to find a clerk as my replacement to watch over this company.
A staff who could do some paperwork and arranging the office documents...
Because of Orsted's curse there is a possibility of immediate dismissal, this is a disposable business after all.
"Here! This is an emergency fund for the time being."
For the time being, I’m giving Rinia 10 Asura gold coins.
That amount of money is more than enough as funding to start a business in Ranoa kingdom.
"O, OOOO... Is, Is handing this much money to me really alright, Nya?"
Looking at that amount of money, Rinia's eyes started glittering.
There is a saying about casting pearls before a swine.
Seeing that much money, there isn’t any living being that wouldn't understand its value.
However, does this cat know the true value of money? Among living beings cats are ephemeral creatures, and money doesn't flow like water out of a fountain... I suppose I shouldn't hand over this much money to her.
Maybe if I do this under the pretext of a lesson.
"He, Hehehehe, Boss. Entrust this to me Nyah, with this many funds, I won’t make a mistake Nyah, This time for sure, This time for sure I will definitely find success Nyah..."
Rinia's eyes changed into dollar signs.
Now I truly feel uneasy.
I guess passing that much money to this fellow is no good.
I mean, since after this I’m going on a job for Orsted.
When I come back Rinia's debt could be doubled, and she could be living in the basement wearing nothing but rags.
Or she might become Eris's real pet, wearing a choker and getting her love.
"Onii-chan, the cleaning is done."
There she is.
It’s Aisha’s turn.
"Aisha, I have something to request of you."
"... What?"
Even though I say that, Aisha is looking at me with a really dissatisfied face. She's still sulking, it looks like that matter from the other day still isn't forgiven.
"I want you to watch over how Rinia uses the company funds so she doesn't accidentally make a big mistake, please support her."
"... But, I have work to do at home."
"No need to do it everyday, just do it once every three days."
"That... Why must I do that?"
She is glaring towards Rinia.
It looks like, because of the problem from the other day, Aisha doesn't want to work with Rinia.
Judging by her attitude, I feel really uneasy if she was around the type of people Rinia tends to attract.
That would be like an army of insects gathering around the Rafflesia. [14]
Well, it’s just Aisha feeling reluctant.
She has her own reasons after all.
"Because, I know you’re the only one whom I could trust with this kind of job."
“Why? Is it because I said that Rinia shouldn't be a maid? Or, is it because of me that the atmosphere inside the house is bad?"
Aisha with her sulking attitude, glancing at me while she is crouching.
Usually Aisha is always looking straight into my eyes, but this time she's avoiding me. [15]
"That’s not it."
"...."
"It is... that if it's you, if Rinia makes a mistake, you'll reprimand her immediately right?"
"But, can I really handle it? I could cause more damage instead..."
From my view I could see Rinia's weak face, but lets ignore her for now.
"But, it can be said that, your presence will allow Rinia to make full use of her talent, that is for sure. "
".... U~n, so it’s managing her work, it seems like that would really fit me."
"In other words, your presence is to prevent her mistakes."
Aisha looked at me with an astonished expression.
That’s her disappointed expression.
She didn’t want to make a mistake, that is what her expression said.
Wait a minute, maybe I said it in the wrong way.
U~~n.......
"Aisha, I think... Immediately abandoning a person just because they made some mistake, is not a good thing."
"...U~~n. I understand. That’s really an amazing way of thinking, Onii-chan."
"Thank you. That way Aisha, when in the future.... Aisha encounters a similar case, I don’t want you to become someone who easily abandons others."
Aisha is a smart child.
The so-called genius type, who could do well no matter what she does.
But, because of that, there will be times when the people around her won't understand what she's thinking.
Although the future has changed, she might still be by my side until death.
But if by chance Aisha leaves the house and tries to find a job somewhere...
I think Aisha would do well, but there's a chance that her co-workers would be jealous and exclude her, it wouldn't be odd for someone like her to completely close herself off from others after something like that.
As a result, if she's isolated from her family, that would be more than enough reason to become a shut in.
I think, before she has that opportunity, I want Aisha to learn firsthand by herself.
Though it's not something I could teach her... Since I'm bad at socializing myself.
"Now once again, with the same position as Rinia, won’t you give it another chance?"
"...."
Aisha is looking between me and Rinia alternatively.
Then, she closed her eyes.
1 second, 2 seconds...
It looks like she is thinking about something in silence.
"Is it for my sake?"
"That’s my intention... Well honestly, I get the feeling that with you being in charge of the support and funds, we could avoid the worst case scenario."
"I see, thanks for the honest answer."
Aisha's eyes opened.
"Onii-chan, if I reject your request here, would you hate me?"
"There is no way I would do that. It might be a bit troublesome, but I think it’s okay for you to reject it."
"...."
Aisha stretched both her arms out to me timidly.
When I spread my arms, she immediately gave me a strong hug.
"I understand. If Onii-chan said so, then I will try to do my best.
"Thanks."
Though I feel that I’m being a bit bossy here...
But, that’s not a mistake.
With this, I can expect some good results.
Together with Rinia, doing something in this new job, Aisha should be able learn something.
She might learn something different from what I expect, but that should be okay.
I'd like to think so.
....By the way Aisha, hasn't your chest somehow gotten quite big.
This... might be around a D-cup.
Although she isn't that tall, her chest is huge.
I guess she's becoming a glamorous woman.
Just a little more and she will become like Lilia.
No, I do not care about my little sister's chest.
"Thank you, Onii-chan."
"No, I am the one who needs to say that, thank you for listening to my request."
"I, will listen to anything that you say Onii-chan."
Smiling mischievously, Aisha getting her way with me.[16]
It's her usual smile.
Turning towards Rinia with that smile still on her face, Aisha reached out her hand.
"Like that, let's work hard together!"
"Ri, right Nyah!"
They exchanged a firm handshake.
These two people who were on bad terms as superior and subordinate...
Well, let's forget the past and work hard like this.
Finally, Aisha made plans for the future, her ideal image, and a speech, then left that place.
For now, let's hope that the next time I come back nothing terrible has happened.
