After everyone accepted Rui to be the leader of the mission this time, he began to discuss some plans to conquer the Rouge Bandit. A few minutes after discussing the plan, many adventurers were amazed by the plan he had in mind, and after the plan was given to adventurers, they began the mission of capturing the Rouge Bandit.
Upon their arrival at the site, they begin the first phase of their plan.
"Everything now is the time to start the first phase of our plan, which is to separate their groups into sections, and surround them at three designated points" Rui told the others.
"For this first plan, I will go first, Create Skill: Magic Illusion." When the skill is created and activated, immediately Ryouta's appearance turns into one of them.
After the disguise was over, he walked towards the bandits like he was seriously injured. When he arrived before the bandits, Ryouta pretended to be lying before them while saying,
"S-Everything, t-please let me talk to the Boss, I have important information that needs to be conveyed."
Hearing that there was a commotion nearby, the boss of the Rouge Bandit appeared, then lowered his head and said to Ryouta,
"It looks like you're hurting, and judging by your wounds, you must have risked your life to bring some important information here, right?"
"Boss really, I came here to tell you, that the adventurers were planning to hide some gold and valuables belonging to the townspeople at three different points."
"So yes, apparently they still have a lot of treasure for us to steal, and thank you for successfully providing that valuable information here, you rest, let us take care of the rest."
After saying that, the Boss of the Rouge Bandits asked all the bandits present to gather and began to divide their numbers into four groups, three groups will be tasked with retrieving the treasure the adventurers are hiding, and another group led by itself as the boss of the Rouge Bandit, will be standing guard at their current place, to protect their loot over the past few months.
************************************
When the three bandits left, Rui began to say,
"It looks like they've already fallen into our trap, all right now, let's catch them, and for that, I'll split which group will head off those bandits."
After a few minutes of selecting the three groups that would block the three groups of bandits, the results were finally decided, and the chosen three Rank A adventurers, were chosen, two Rank B adventurers will head off the first Rouge Bandit group, then only six rank B adventurers remain, and eight rank C and D adventurers are divided into several people.
"Alright all the groups that have been distributed, let's start the plan of the second stage" Rui told the adventurers who had been divided into three groups.
************************************
After the group split into three, and after a few hours had passed, Rui along with the guild master and some palace warriors, started to appear and besiege the bandit boss while saying, Rui,
"Give up, you've been surrounded, and this time I'll make sure you're kept in the royal palace prison of Alfesteins."
"Groan your word? Do you think you can catch me with just that army huh?"
"Right, but they're not going to catch you, but me" Rui told the Boss of the Rouge Bandit.
"You said you'd catch me, right? Don't joke, you think you can catch me easily huh?"
"Ah... That's what I'm gonna do." With high speed Rui began to move and then appeared behind the Rouge Bandit boss while directing his katana to the Rouge Bandit boss's neck.
"Give up quietly, if you fight back, then your neck will break."
"Don't underestimate the power of a Rouge Bandit boss, Berserk Mode." Using the Berserk Mode skill, the Rouge Bandit boss increased all his physical strength, and made his body turn red with large muscles.
Seeing the change from his enemy, Rui simply said,
"Looks like that was your answer yes, alright, this time you won't escape," said Rui who started to get serious with an attacking position.
It didn't take long, the Rouge Bandit boss was defeated by him, and when the Rouge Bandit boss was arrested, he said,
"It seems I've arrived here, and before I'm taken to prison, little girl, I have advice for you, even though you're strong, but be careful, maybe someday there will come a time when the people you trusted all this time will probably betray you."
************************************
After successfully capturing the Rouge Bandit boss and all his men, Rui is still trying to find out the meaning of the Rouge Bandit boss's last words before he was arrested two days ago. Looking at Rui who was still thinking about the words of the Rouge Bandit boss, Ryouta said to him, saying,
Rui nodded while smiling at him, then said,
"I don't think I need to think about it constantly, because I'm sure Onii-chan will always protect me."
"Well, that's right, I'll always protect you no matter what. All right, since you're a little better, how about we visit the spicy guild to start the first steps to create a food store."
"I agree, let's go to the adventurer guild soon, to discuss the food store we're going to open with them."
"All right our goal is the merchant guild."
************************************
After leaving the inn, Ryouta and Rui decided to go to the merchant guild to discuss about the food store they were going to open. On the way to the merchant guild, they saw some little girls from the Elf, Half Demon, and Half Beast races who were carried in slave carriages, in shabby and torn clothes, as well as the magic chains put on their necks, tanga, and legs. Seeing that, Rui said,
"Onii-chan, can we afford to buy them and hire them properly in our store later?"
"I think you might be right, we might need a clerk for our store later," Ryouta said, agreeing to Rui's request.
A few minutes after walking, they finally arrived at the merchant guild in the kingdom of Alfesteins. Upon arriving at the guild, Ryouta along with Rui entered the merchant guild building. After entering the building, they were greeted by several guild receptionists who said,
"Welcome to the merchant guild, is there anything we can help you with?"
"We want to open a food store in this city, and we want to discuss with the guild master here about what the concept of our store is, " Ryouta said at the reception.
"So you guys want to open a food store huh, alright, please wait a moment, I'll call the guild master."
After a few minutes of waiting, a man in his 40s came to see them and asked,
"So you guys want to open a store huh?"
"Right, we want to open a food store, and we also want the merchant guild to help us in order to open a food store in this city."
"Once you go, well if you want to open a food store, you must meet the requirements of the merchant guild first that is, any income you get for a month, will be taxed 20%, will be taxed%, and also you should have at least four to five employees."
"If that's the case we can meet the requirements, but the problem is that we don't have a building that can be used to set up a shop" Ryouta told the guild master.
"If it's a problem, we can provide it, depending on what kind of store building you want."
"We want a building that has a kitchen that is quite spacious, and can also accommodate many people."
"It looks like we have a suitable building as you would like, it's located in the eastern part of the city, and it's not far from the merchant's shops that sell groceries."
"Well, we'll take that one, and oh, how much will it cost to buy that building?"
"On the cost, we charge 30 thousand gold coins, but we can not repair the damaged place quickly, so we provide a fairly cheap cost."
"If the problem of repair, we can do it, and also we already have plans to add some more employees, oh yes this costs 30 thousand gold coins for the store building we bought," Said Ryouta handing over a small pouch containing 30 thousand gold coins.
"Alright, then, we will have the authorization for the opening of the store in this city," said the guild master who began processing the endorsement of the license for his shop Ryouta.
************************************
A few days after their visit to the merchant guild, the permission for the opening of the store was finally handed over to Ryouta, and on that very day, he and Rui began to head to their new store location. After arriving at the store location, they started to go inside and started to repair some parts of the store for two days, and after the store was finished in repair, Ryouta said, saying,
"Alright, it looks like this is done, the Archenia Rui food store."
