Don't use Type-Moon references in Oregairu!

Those eyes were definitely gleaming with a mischievous glint in them.

"Then... I just won't let them know that I'm the one who released them, right?"

"what?"

Rohan Kishibe, sensing the danger, immediately changed his approach and advised, "But a superhuman has been born... To ordinary people, it's like a modern soldier wielding a gun. And in some ways, the former might be even more dangerous. After all, a modern soldier can die if hit, while a superhuman has a protective magical field around them."

These earnest words resonated deeply with Fujimaru Ritsuka: "That's right, you're absolutely right! I need to find a way to resolve this."

So the premise is that you definitely have to do this dissemination work, right?

Rohan Kishibe, helpless, prepared to continue his persuasion, but his body was already captured by a ferocious tentacle extending from the laboratory: "Recreation time is over."

"Aaaaaah, I'm going to be with you!" However, the struggle was futile. No matter how pitiful Rohan Kishibe left ten bloody marks on the ground with her fingernails, she could not shake the bloodless and tearless witch from pulling her useful assistant back.

"Poor Rohan Kishibe... Will this affect his manga serialization?" Fujimaru Ritsuka worriedly about his manga updates, then relaxed, "Ah, I forgot he already has the characteristics of a half-succubus, he's not as fragile as a human anymore. Well then, good luck, Ramen!"

However, Rohan Kishibe's question was indeed very reasonable, so Ritsuka Fujimaru decided to come up with a solution and rushed out of the mansion without saying a word.

Target—Rohan Kishibe's residence

The open space next door.

The destination was not far from the mansion, and Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived quickly.

This place has been transformed into a bustling construction site.

Large construction machinery was everywhere, and construction workers, fueled by adrenaline, moved about freely, with even superhumans frequently using magic.

The person who started this situation was wearing a hard hat and patrolling the site, occasionally saying something to the foreman next to him.

Hitagi Senjougahara, the next head priest of Fushimi Inari Shrine, is said to be the future fox god of the whole country, cough cough, the future leader of Uka no Mitama Shrine who controls the harvest and commerce.

After arriving in Chiba City and inspecting the location of the mansion, she immediately got down to business without saying a word.

First, she took a helicopter and soon brought back news: she had taken over all the land between the mansion and the inhabited areas, and then she decisively offered half of it to Yukinoshita as protection money.

She then quickly mobilized her connections and resources to assemble a construction team capable of rapid deployment.

Originally wondering what kind of construction team could build a house in less than ten days, Fujimaru Ritsuka, after learning that Kishibe Rohan had been caught, planned to tell Senjougahara Hitagi to bring her friends and family to live in the house left behind by Kishibe Rohan.

Looking at the scene now, I realize that we completely underestimated it.

The extraordinary individuals on site possessed masterful skills that could be considered the pinnacle of earthwork engineering.

After their brilliant ideas were put into practice, sales of mechanical pile drivers immediately surged.

They also solved problems such as the weight of building materials using a method similar to ethereal magic.

Some people use elemental spells that can quickly level the land, rendering machinery completely useless.

The entire construction process was a result of the collaboration between modern mechanical technology and extraordinary techniques. Anything that machinery couldn't do quickly, or that required a massive amount of work, was handled using techniques. And for time-consuming aspects of the construction process, specialized techniques were used to assist in handling them.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived at the site, she saw two small villas already under construction, and now they were building a third one. The whole process was a marvel of technology and magic.

At this moment, he vaguely sensed something—what is a superhuman? It's not just those who can powerfully bombard fireballs who are superhumans. These superhumans who can rapidly increase productivity right now may be the direction that many people will need in the future.

Although the current situation requires extraordinary individuals with strong martial virtues, Fujimaru Ritsuka doesn't think these guys are weak.

These techniques for drying, reducing gravity, and leveling the surface would be just as powerful in a battlefield environment.

"Hey~ Fujimaru-sama, what brings you here? You didn't even say hello?" Senjougahara Hitagi finally spotted Fujimaru Ritsuka standing to the side while inspecting the progress of the project.

She was slightly surprised, but walked over and greeted him casually.

On the contrary, the foreman next to her, an uncle who also seemed to have a magical aura in Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, greeted her in a serious manner: "Hello! Sakata, the priest of Fushimi Inari Shrine, greets you."

Huh? No, it turns out your priest is also a construction foreman!

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had initially felt a little guilty and unsure if she could get Senjougahara Hitagi to join her in this scheme, immediately felt relieved: "I've got some benefits for you~ Want to do a monopoly business?"

You saw a terrible post under the guise of a finale announcement and thanks.

Dear readers, I am your author Ahui, who updates 15 words a month and is about to give up due to procrastination.

Before I knew it, it was already mid-June. And I've been writing this book for five months now!

It's been a while since I posted a chapter to chat with all my lovely readers. Today I'll just ramble a bit, it's free, please read a little bit if you like.

First of all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this book is now in its final stages of completion.

—Actually, I planned to finish the book last month, but as I was writing, the content of the last volume was far more than I expected. It was impossible to explain the plot in just over 100,000 words.

And I got really into it while writing. Whether it's Bai Ji, the enemy Gaia, or the Celestial Empire's journey to the stars, it all satisfied my own fantasies about setting things up. Now we're entering the final chapter, I hope everyone is satisfied with what they've got.

Since the beginning of the new year, I've been walking on thin ice, proceeding with utmost caution. I've never written a serial of so many words before. My experience is limited to very short stories, and I apologize for any shortcomings; I hope you readers will forgive me. Thank you all for your subscriptions!

Secondly, I'd like to share something funny. At the beginning of the month, I planned to get featured and then have a big impact, but when I asked the editor after the feature was removed, I found out that I had actually been featured, and that I was featured while the thread was being banned.

I feel like I've lost a hundred million OT2.

By the way, I'm planning to take it easy today, gather some drafts, and see if I can squeeze out some time to think about what to write for my new book.

The next chapter update is expected to be released on the evening of the 20th (in reality, it may still be delayed).

Finally, thank you all for your support. It's just that since the New Year, my update schedule has been disrupted, often just barely making it or even over time, which means I haven't had a chance to properly thank you for your donations. I've even forgotten when I last thanked you. A lazy, procrastinating dog sends his thanks to all the readers who have supported me so far! m(．＿．)m：

Thank you to everyone who has consistently voted for me and recommended me! There are too many to list! _(:з」∠)_

193. The Floating Ominous Black Ball

Fushimi Inari Taisha enshrines Uka no Mitama, a deity who, despite having no relation to foxes, is known as the God of the Three Foxes because his name sounds similar to "fox." Due to his immense popularity, even his messengers have been transformed into foxes. In modern times, besides his role as the god of harvest, he also serves as the protector of commerce.

As the chief priestess of Fushimi Inari Shrine, Senjougahara Hitagi had many connections with Osaka's business groups and, through this exposure, surprisingly developed business acumen.

In Japan's society, where social classes are relatively rigid, even the wealthy often have a strong family background, with members of the nobility, aristocracy, or prominent families making up the majority. Even so, the influence of their past remains.

Just as ancient families often look down on the nouveau riche of later generations, such stark opposition naturally exists.

The so-called Osaka business circle consists largely of capitalists who rose from humble beginnings after their families fell on hard times, or who grew from nothing by leveraging external resources. Compared to their counterparts in Tokyo, they are far less powerful and unable to penetrate the decision-making circles; compared to some families in Kyoto, they lack historical foundation. It's fair to say that they possess assets that place them in the second tier, but they are completely unable to easily convert them, and in this rapidly changing era, they are slowly falling behind.

Because of their past experience of seizing opportunities and growing rapidly, they are exceptionally sensitive. After finally obtaining secondhand information, they frantically seek the power to protect their family fortune. However, even after shamelessly squeezing into the Kansai Spellcasting Association, they only received very few opportunities. The superhumans they bribed were often either disloyal or weaklings who intended to retire there because they couldn't provide opportunities for further advancement.

Therefore, they urgently need a way to generate blood.

The extraordinary potion that Senjougahara Hitagi had obtained earlier had already been taken as a sample into the circles of Osaka business groups. Due to her own strength, she wielded considerable influence at the shrine, and given the small quantity, it was tacitly approved.

However, it's easy to imagine that the monthly share obtained by Fushimi Inari Shrine wouldn't be so easily relinquished. Therefore, the merchants could only watch enviously as the extraordinary potion drooled in their eyes.

But now the opportunity has arrived. If the production of extraordinary potions increases, the Osaka merchant groups will undoubtedly be willing to offer even more benefits. After all, recruiting outsiders to adapt to extraordinary materials is just as important as empowering their loyal followers who cannot adapt to them.

Thus, the aloof yet cunning and scheming fox spirit struck a deal with Fujimaru Ritsuka in a secluded spot on this bustling construction site. Dozens of bottles of extraordinary potions would be supplied to the Osaka Business Group. The price, in return, was a series of agreements that Fujimaru Ritsuka believed would help them weather future disasters...

Although Senjougahara Hitagi didn't think so, she narrowed her eyes and teased, "Hmph~~ I didn't expect Mr. Fujimaru to be so ambitious. Indeed, in this way, both I and the Osaka Business Group will be tied to your war chariot and become your sharp blades. Ah, the forced certificate contract is terrifying, Mikon is really amazing."

"Come on, you're not even trying to imitate Tamamo-no-Mae. According to Lisa Lisa and Kaiki Deishuu's evaluations, your magic skills are probably much higher. You might even break the contract directly."

"I've already moved in with you, and I've even negotiated a contract for you that would allow us to cooperate with the Osaka Business Group. But whether the contract is in place or not, people will still assume I'm on your side, right, konkon?"

"Can't we just ignore the possibility of getting around this?" Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed.

“You know perfectly well that I don’t consider you someone who can be easily deceived either,” Senjougahara Hitagi said meaningfully. “After all, I’d love to see those guys’ surprised expressions someday; it would be hilarious.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka shrugged; he wasn't as playful as Senjougahara Hitagi. The key point of the transaction agreement he had drawn up was to confirm the obligations of all those who obtained the extraordinary potion: they must be able to handle potential crises and serve the association well upon joining. He'd only earn a pittance in return.

—A two-fold profit is just a drop in the bucket. For something unique and in high demand, even ten times the profit is an understatement. And of those two times, 30% will go to Senjougahara Hitagi.

"But isn't providing a thousand bottles in seven days a bit too much?"

Her meaning was clear: this amount was almost painful for the families who had contributed their knowledge—why should we pay such a heavy price, yet only be able to return less than ten bottles of potion a month?
