8 p.m …
Mythril had sent all members of the Wraith Sanctum a schedule for 8 p.m.
Cron found that his phone still read 19:45. From the small shopping district, Flacheur, Cron just followed the usual road for vehicles. After about two intersections, Cron crosses the zebra crossing then continues straight.
Up to a big signpost,
Moderate Residential District, D'Eternam Hills.
Some of the places in front are luxury flats and apartments. Deeper into the center, meet an elegant hidden gems flat with an economical rental price. While at the very back is an exclusive place, a complex of large houses to mansions.
They, the Wraith Sanctum, have not been able to afford to rent a building for their operations. Instead, the luxurious three-story mansion was made into a residence for its members. Not only a place to work, but also a residence.
#Klingklong
Cron pressed the front gatebell. Adjusting his black coat, he waited. The courtyard of the mansion is very wide and overgrown with green field grass. The matter is, there is a sleeping three-headed dog, Cerberus. Its body is as big as two elephants.
"Who is there?" the sound of the speaker next to the buzzer sounds. To be precise, Mythril's voice.
“Cron,”
#Pling!
Magically, the front gate turned into a large wooden gate. Cron opened the wooden gate, then he entered and was immediately greeted with the same room as yesterday without having to go through the courtyard and deal with cerberus. Where Cron and his fellow Wraith Sanctum meet. Sofas lined up for everyone, and glass tables that at least have a large selection of juices, wine and blood for the vampire race.
"Cron, please sit down. We're about to begin," said Beldevere, wearing a sparkling red singlet, with a fur jacket.
#Hah… (sighed)
Cron slapped his forehead, shaking his head exasperatedly.
"What? Why are you wearing hostess-like clothes, huh!?”
#Pffftt
The quiet atmosphere was broken when Cron gave his honest opinion. The rest of the Wraith Sanctum are enthusiastic about Cron's playful humor. Although, Cron just had a straight face on them.
“Bh- BUAHAHAHAHAHAH! That one! That one is just as I thought, BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Scarlett laughed heartily. Scarlett's laughter reflected the words Scarlett wanted to say from the start.
“Ru-rude, Cron!” Mythrile stood up and yelling. “You too, Scarlett!”
#Plop
Baldevere clapped his hands lightly.
"Okay, okay, calm down," she turned to Cron. “So, Cron… what should I wear, then?” She approached Cron.
Her face was smiling but Cron noticed a slight crease near ers neck. Baldevere was irritated.
(Geh! Why is she-!)
Cron looked at all of the Wraith Sanctum comrades. That gaze instead turned to Cron himself.
#Thumbs! Plak!
After Cron had his lesson, a bump on the head, and a slap on the cheek, they started the meeting right away.
Cron sat back down on the sofa, right next to Camillia.
“Hm… on the bright side, I agree,” Scheme whispered.
"If that's what you're doing, you should have represented me earlier!" whispered back Cron.
"Hehe, we're just different principles!"
The situation calmed down. Mythril delivered her presentation assisted by a 72 inch TV. While Beldevere is helping her. Everyone sat in pairs on the couch respectively.
Stitch with Scheme, Bonus with Scarlett, Fairmind with Countdime, and Cron with Camilla.
Mythril explained that in the future Wraith Sanctum's commodities since stepping out of the ridiculous trading rules that Protea created, they have very competitive prices. The Protea rule requires that all commodities go through the 707 Cartel or central store for the sale of commodities. To put it mildly, Protea forces all alliances to pay trade taxes.
Mythril explained that in about an hour from now there would be a meeting with several companies regarding purchasing Soul Core commodities. Wraith Sanctum is the biggest seller of Soul Core, or contemporary energy that plays a role in fueling and supplying electricity.
Soul Core is the third optional contemporary energy for other companies, after magic or angel powder which costs much more.
Mythril added that the spike in corporate meetings would multiply to an irrational extent.
“We can't possibly escort Lady Beldevere with just these members. And for the sake of making a profit, passing up on their proposal is a loss,” Mythril said as she pushed up her glistening glasses. "I want the members to express their opinions as freely as possible. What should this plan be?"
The members of the Wraith Sanctum looked flustered but enthusiastic about the pace their business was growing.
“Finally we have a chance to widen, huh!?” Camilla said excitedly, then turned to Cron. "You have any suggestions, Cron?"
Cron folded his arms and remained silent.
“Opening part time vacancies? I mean just as an observer?” Scarlett raised her hand, he added. “The manager of the agency where I work always has a lot of Observers when I perform. And~ that… makes me feel good at work?”
“Hm… good suggestion. Maybe we will try to consider it, “added Mythril. "Any idea?"
(Oh my, what a decision…) Cron thinks deeply.
Someone raises hand. Mythril turned to Fairmind. "Yes, Fairmind?"
“How about we expand the spirit field? Allocating clients to the spirit field will definitely save on accommodation costs, how's that?”
“Spirit field huh…,” Mythril nodded again. “Having varied spirit fields then we also need to rent a lot of space as usual. Well, maybe that's a great idea. We can keep the Wraith Sanctum's premises a secret. Anymore idea?"
(Well, if life were that easy...?) Cron thought, as his legs twitched slightly.
Camilla was happy because Cron looked excited. Everyone was also waiting for his opinion. Even though he is a relatively new member, Cron has had a lot of impact on the progress of the Wraith Sanctum.
After everyone had each given their ideas, it was time for Cron's mouth to be opened.
Cron raised his hand. Everyone put their eyes on the calm, easy-going, calm man.
“In the first place, who came up with a proposal like this?”
“Eh? Does it matter?" Scarlett babbling who was busy painting her lips. Bonus and a few others joined in the chatter as well, while Cron was silent. That… made Camilla quite worried.
“Ahem… Lady Beldevere came up with this idea, Cron,” Mythril replied. "Do you have any suggestions?"
“Then what brilliant idea was it that we got so many scheduled meetings that you yourself, Mythril, said the numbers were getting irrational?” Cron's tone sounded rushed and looked uneasy.
Everyone suddenly wonders what is Cron thinking.
“Oi, oi, what the heck is-”
Myhthril held out her hand as a sign of calm. “Just a moment Scheme,” Mythril then turned to Cron. “Instead of posting on a secret forum like you suggested yesterday, I am posting this information on Moonshed's semi-central forum. Is there any problem?"
Cron rose to his feet, shouldering his sword.
“Well, are you efficient or are you…”
"Stupid?"
Cron glared at Mythril with a huge spike in tension. Cron's face was like a roaring lion, at least that was what Camilla had in mind.
The Wraith Sanctums were shocked. They were surprised by Cron's different attitude. But they realized that, Cron, the simple blind man with his sword drawn everywhere. The most clownish person of all people, has now become very serious.
They thought Cron was of the same opinion.
It was so serious that everyone in the Wraith Sanctum was a bit afraid of rebutting it. So far, Cron has been the spearhead of strategy as well as strength for this alliance.
“Cron, I presume I didn't hear what you just said. But, if you-"
“I rarely go back on my words! Tell me, Mythril, why did you do that!?” Cron raised his voice. Cron was frank that he was serious about asking Mythril's reasons openly.
“All-right…,” Mythril replied calmly. “This… will speed up the Wraith Sanctum's development rate. The situation will change… in about three months. I also considered the risks you mentioned six months ago. Everyone knows, high risk, high return?”
“Faster than that, Myhtril! Wraith Sanctum will rapidly develop in one month you know? But…"
Cron said in a deafening whisper.
"In exchange, you mortgaged Lady Montana Beldevere's head in three days."
