Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234.
Sending Roy Blanc back to sun blossom city on a mission I contacted Van and instructed him to cooperate with the wolf fang mercenary. Since Agatha had promised to kill all the Butcher Bob goons that were involved in holding Ronnie hostage, I didn’t plan to involve the southern academic city cops. Killing all of his goons should be enough to scare Butcher Bob for now and satisfy my bruised ego until I had the power and influence to take over his company.
Desolate Punisher array and Space Isolation Barrier array were the two things stopping me from attacking the circle in the sun blossom city right away. Right now Roy Blanc, my newest calamity daughter gem, was on his way to take care of the Desolate Punisher array following instructions. What remained was the Space Isolation Barrier array, to solve this I needed to make a trip to the Sun blossom city along with Rami Kaga.
Rami Kaga has been of great help recently but I can only string him along with the promise of carrots for so long before he grows a rebellious heart. The platinum grimoire and the blow-up doll custom card were the carrots I used to tempt Rami into working for me. If I had to reward Rami with a carrot then it would be the blow-up doll custom card, as for the platinum grimoire, Rami would have to work harder for this.
Not to mention I was considering turning the blow-up doll custom card creation and sales into a full-fledged business. There was no doubt about this business model succeeding but the question was whom do I trust this task with. The responsibility for the creation of these custom cards will lay with my calamity daughter gem that was given but the sales part was the problem. Calamity daughter gems were good at a lot of things but sales were not one of them. So I need someone whom I could trust with the sale of the blow-up doll custom cards and one person, in particular, came to my mind, Cindy. I did plan to use her to be my eyes and ears on the Fine Gold sisters, it is about time I talked to her and hopefully, she will appreciate it.
[Susan Calling… Answer/Ignore/Reply/Reject]
My grimoire notified me of an incoming call, it was Susan. She did say that she would call to check on me before I forced her to clock off work early.
‘Answer’ I mentally command my grimoire to answer the call.
“Hello, Wyatt.” Susan’s voice sounded from the other end of the call.
“Yes, Susan. Are not asleep yet?” I asked.
“How can I sleep knowing the situation in the warehouse? Is everything alright back there” Said Susan in concern.
“Nothing to worry about. Everything is handled. You know Anna, with her here nobody can harm me.” I assured Susan hoping that she would stop worrying about me and have a good sleep.
“…” though Susan was happy that Anna had saved Wyatt from the crazy customer she could not help but feel jealous over the fact that her love would feel safer around another woman.
“Hello, Susan you there?” I asked not getting a reply from Susan.
“Yes, I am here. Good to know that everything is handled. And I was thinking that we should close the online shop, it is attracting all sorts of crazy customers.” Susan blamed herself for not vetting the customer properly before sending them the coordinates to the card boutique.
“Hm, Okay. let’s close the online shop for now until further notice.” Though stupid customers like Aba are rare, for my safety, I chose to agree with Susan’s advice. Instead of Aba teleporting to my card boutique it could have easily been an assassin sent by Sansa Baylor. With my calamity soul gem, I would have survived the assassination but the same was not true for Susan who was accompanying me at that time.
“Good, then I will get right to it,” Susan answered.
“And one more thing, Susan. I need a few materials for a new card I am planning to create,” I informed Susan.
“Send me the list of ingredients I will have them deliver the ingredients to you.” Susan agreed without complaining about working after office hours.
“Thank you. You are the best.” I expressed my heartfelt thanks and admiration to Susan for never complaining about my demands.
“No problem, don’t mention it.” Susan who was envious of Anna a little while ago soon cheered up realizing she had her way of supporting her young lover.
“Susan, Slime is the major ingredient of the card I am going to create. Does the guild association mall has a variant Slime?” I asked Susan to check the guild mall catalog to see if there is any variant slime monster in their possession that I could use to create my card.
“Let me check. Hm…” Susan soon accessed the association guild catalog to check for a variant slime. And after a while, she replied, “Wyatt, they do have the variant slimes. Which one do you prefer Boss slime or a Slime spirit?”
“Give me a second.” I did a quick search on Boss slime and Slime spirit on the grimoire network and replied, “I want the Slime Spirit. I will order two of them for now.”
Boss slimes were the dungeon bosses of slime dungeons. They were nothing but overgrown slime with higher regeneration and corrosive properties. As for Slime spirit, it was a D-rank slime monster that showcases intelligence comparable to an 11-13 year old child. It was able to morph its body shape to match the shape of its prey. They don’t completely morph into the appearance of the other monsters, just take the outline of the monsters they prey on. Due to this ability Slime spirits mostly had the shape of a monster, unlike the blob shape of a traditional slime. Their morphing ability and intelligence were going to come in very handy in my card creation.
