Chapter 52.2. How To Build Mob Forces
âHeeee⦠Strangely, you care about your parents. No, I guess thatâs normal.â
Frigg looks at me with a surprised expression. You donât seem to get along with your family. But weâre different.
âMy mom and dad are very close. You canât trigger a family breakup! Peace is the best for a family!â
The gray-haired Miu makes a proud face as she bows her thin chest armor. Such a cute appearance of a young girl is soothing.
Friggâs soothed by Miuâs appearance, and smiles. Sheâs indeed a goddess. Sheâs so attractive that she could win money just by smiling. The beautiful woman changed her smile to a bewitching smile, crossed her legs, and told me her plan.
âWell, Iâm going to do what you want. First, weâre going to increase our funds.â
Holding up her index finger, Frigg pulls out a bowl and dice. What the??
âYou know my authority, right?â
âYeah, prophecy, right?â
Itâs a special skill that, when used, made her evade all enemy attacks, both physical and magical, for one next turn. Itâs a special skill she uses after gathering the enemyâs hate by support magic to her. The hate-gathering magic lasts 10 turns. So it can be used as a shield 4 times.
Unfortunately, the psychic is not a vanguard, so she isnât suitable for the tank role. I wondered in the game why such a special skill existed. Well, I thought it was a special skill forced on me by tracing her myth, but what is it?
âWell, letâs play Cee-lo with this one.â
âMmmm, Iâm not going to bet on it.â
Itâs not going to be a 45 group. I think Iâm confident I can win.
âWell, Iâll go first then.â
âYeah, good. [Prophecy]â
Before I could put the dice in the bowl, Frigg used [Prophecy] with a mischievous grin. What? Really? Iâm surprised at how predictable the effect is, but the dice roll with a tinkling sound and come up with a six.
âThis is lucky. The stronger the opponentâs eyes, the luckier I am.â
Taking up the dice, Frigg tosses them into the bowl with a tinkling sound.
[111]
âSeriously! Thatâs cheating!â
I knew it was coming, but Iâm surprised. It is true that [Prophecy] can avoid any phenomenon only once. But how could it be used like this?
I jump off the couch and stare at Frigg. Frigg-oneesan, anticipating my attitude, turns her mouth into a thin smile.
âThatâs right. [Prediction] is evasive. Iâm only going to lose once. What happens is, with this, I can win all the stock investments and forex I want. Because it can only go up or down.â
âWith horse racing, there are many competitors, so itâs impossible. Youâll invest in stocks, but the stock price is the opponent. Does that mean that if you donât sell forever, will it continue to rise?â
âItâs not that universal. Iâll sell the stock before the stock loses by accident on its own. My knowledge tells me thatâs the case. It seems we canât buy a stock before it loses. Well, I guess you could say that a day is roughly the time of effect.â
âStill, itâs not that obvious. If I make millions of dollars shortly, wonât I be noticed?â
I put my tiny hand on my chin and thought about the dangers. There are always people who notice this kind of thing. Itâs not right. Especially in this world of magic. It is not unreasonable for me to get suspected of using cheating magic.
âOf course, we consider that. I told you that I would ask Odin to make several registers. Thatâs not only to build an organization but also to make money and keep a low profile.â
I see. So, even if I have a huge fortune overall, I can keep a low profile by having multiple registers. You are very thoughtful, Frigg.
âSo you see. The people who have made a lot of money set up several dummy companies, and operate them. There are private companies that buy and sell magic tools from discarded people, clans that support weak adventurers and do small jobs for them, and orphans who earn coins by weeding dungeon fields and other jobs.
âHuh, I see. Those people slowly increase their business, expand their contact networks, and turn them into big organizations. Each one is a small company, but if they form a coalition, they can become a large organization.â
âThe advantage is that people wonât think itâs strange if you secretly set up a proxy. They wonât easily investigate small companies, because they are often back-alley companies, such as tax evasion companies for nobles or back-alley companies for back-alley businesses. So, we manipulate the hired CEOs from behind the scenes. We donât need to be in the public eye. I plan to show up at glimpses and give off a suspicious vibe. Of course, it will be a joint-stock company. Young lady, someone else, or I will secretly acquire most of the shares.â
So weâre going to grow trees and create a large forest. The advantage of this is that we will be less likely to draw attention, but weâll also be able to follow each otherâs leads. Thatâs a good idea.
Itâs an idea we can only do in this millennia when the internet is widespread, and people can easily keep in touch. At first, it is also good that it is very plain. Itâs because Grandpa recommends it. Friggâs a genius.
âItâs great, Frigg-oneesan! I think this will help mama and papa a little. Itâs a great idea!â
âPhew. Thatâs the power of love and fertility. Well, may we begin to go dark?â
âPlease! Letâs create a mob force!â
Miu praised Sister Frigg-oneesan with sparkling eyes, and the goddess smiled bewitchingly, brushing back her golden hair.
âUnderstood. Youâll be relying on Munin to help you choose who to hire, wonât you, Odin?â
âIâll lend you Munin, and so give me the money. I have too much to buy.â
Frigg and Odin talked in a businesslike manner, and Miuâs heart fluttered with excitement.
It was a small step, but it was a step forward. If thereâs anything I can do to help, let me know.
At any rate, I have my debut party the day after tomorrow, so I canât put in any errands there.
In the original story, many people became criminals because they had money problems and left their daughters behind to die. I can also plan to avoid trouble. Fufufu, Iâm a mob. Iâm going to help the other mob.
My goal is to protect my family and help the mob. Iâm counting on you, Frigg.
âWell, Iâll start by finding out what kind of work Iâd like to do.â
Confidently, the beautiful goddess brushed back her long golden hair and gave me a curt answer with a bewitching smile. Well, itâs only been two days. Genius goddess, Iâm counting on you.
