Chapter 52.2. How To Build Mob Forces

“Heeee… Strangely, you care about your parents. No, I guess that’s normal.”

Frigg looks at me with a surprised expression. You don’t seem to get along with your family. But we’re different.

“My mom and dad are very close. You can’t trigger a family breakup! Peace is the best for a family!”

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.

Frigg’s soothed by Miu’s appearance, and smiles. She’s indeed a goddess. She’s 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.

“Well, I’m going to do what you want. First, we’re going to increase our funds.”

Holding up her index finger, Frigg pulls out a bowl and dice. What the??

“You know my authority, right?”

“Yeah, prophecy, right?”

It’s a special skill that, when used, made her evade all enemy attacks, both physical and magical, for one next turn. It’s a special skill she uses after gathering the enemy’s 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 isn’t 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?

“Well, let’s play Cee-lo with this one.”

“Mmmm, I’m not going to bet on it.”

It’s not going to be a 45 group. I think I’m confident I can win.

“Well, I’ll go first then.”

“Yeah, good. [Prophecy]”

Before I could put the dice in the bowl, Frigg used [Prophecy] with a mischievous grin. What? Really? I’m surprised at how predictable the effect is, but the dice roll with a tinkling sound and come up with a six.

“This is lucky. The stronger the opponent’s eyes, the luckier I am.”

Taking up the dice, Frigg tosses them into the bowl with a tinkling sound.

[111]

“Seriously! That’s cheating!”

I knew it was coming, but I’m 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.

“That’s right. [Prediction] is evasive. I’m 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.”

“With horse racing, there are many competitors, so it’s impossible. You’ll invest in stocks, but the stock price is the opponent. Does that mean that if you don’t sell forever, will it continue to rise?”

“It’s not that universal. I’ll sell the stock before the stock loses by accident on its own. My knowledge tells me that’s the case. It seems we can’t buy a stock before it loses. Well, I guess you could say that a day is roughly the time of effect.”

“Still, it’s not that obvious. If I make millions of dollars shortly, won’t I be noticed?”

I put my tiny hand on my chin and thought about the dangers. There are always people who notice this kind of thing. It’s not right. Especially in this world of magic. It is not unreasonable for me to get suspected of using cheating magic.

“Of course, we consider that. I told you that I would ask Odin to make several registers. That’s not only to build an organization but also to make money and keep a low profile.”

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.

“So 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.

“Huh, 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.”

“The advantage is that people won’t think it’s strange if you secretly set up a proxy. They won’t 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 don’t 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.”

So we’re going to grow trees and create a large forest. The advantage of this is that we will be less likely to draw attention, but we’ll also be able to follow each other’s leads. That’s a good idea.

It’s 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. It’s because Grandpa recommends it. Frigg’s a genius.

“It’s great, Frigg-oneesan! I think this will help mama and papa a little. It’s a great idea!”

“Phew. That’s the power of love and fertility. Well, may we begin to go dark?”

“Please! Let’s create a mob force!”

Miu praised Sister Frigg-oneesan with sparkling eyes, and the goddess smiled bewitchingly, brushing back her golden hair.

“Understood. You’ll be relying on Munin to help you choose who to hire, won’t you, Odin?”

“I’ll lend you Munin, and so give me the money. I have too much to buy.”

Frigg and Odin talked in a businesslike manner, and Miu’s heart fluttered with excitement.

It was a small step, but it was a step forward. If there’s anything I can do to help, let me know.

At any rate, I have my debut party the day after tomorrow, so I can’t 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, I’m a mob. I’m going to help the other mob.

My goal is to protect my family and help the mob. I’m counting on you, Frigg.

“Well, I’ll start by finding out what kind of work I’d like to do.”

Confidently, the beautiful goddess brushed back her long golden hair and gave me a curt answer with a bewitching smile. Well, it’s only been two days. Genius goddess, I’m counting on you.
