Year 7445, Month 12, Day 28
Last night, the number of magic stones we sold was 35 each of both trolls and ogres, 84 crickets, 40 huge praying mantis, 53 huge centipedes, and 11 scavenger crawlers.
In total it came out to 78,000,000 Z (78 gold coins). It was our first huge earnings in a while. Excluding the slaves I paid everyone a bonus of 1,560,000 Z, and my net income was just over 67,000,000 Z. If we could manage this every time then I'd be able to pay everyone close to 5,000,000 in bonuses every month but...This time it was a bit longer than usual, so I guess that's unreasonable huh?
Also, Ralpha and Gwine seem like they would waste all their money on things that make no sense after all..Though that's fine. I handed them 1 gold coin, 2 gold Shu, and 6 silver coins while saying "Put some into savings." It seems that everyone is borrowing a shared locker at the temple together with Zenom as the representative.
I thought Miduchi would sponge off of my locker but it seems she's using the same locker as everyone else. Everyone put their gold coins into a small bag with their name on it and left it to him. I told her, "I don't particularly mind if you use mine as well you know." but she said that she's participating in order to help reduce the monthly management fee of 300,000 Z so that made sense. It seems just Toris and Zenom are paying a bit more.
I went straight to the temple to deposit the 67 gold coins and put the bag into my locker. There's 2 bags with 1,000(1,000,000,000 Z) gold coins each, 2 bags with 500(500,000,000 Z) each, 7 small bags with 100(100,000,000 Z) each. I have about 10 times the amount I did two years ago around the same period but it's still nowhere near enough. Since the lockers are considerably big so there's enough capacity for you to fit around 20 bags with 1,000 gold coins in each.
Thinking about various things and I want at least enough gold coins to fill this locker full. If I get greedy then at least two lockers full. The spear being used by Gwine, the sword being used by Bel, and there Water making bracelet.
I don't know what kind of money we'd make if we sell them but I don't think it would be bad to hope for amounts in the hundreds of millions for the weapons.
It's been three and a half years since we came to this Baldukk, though about half of it is profits from my business but a large portion of the remainder is earnings since we reached the 7th floor and if we continue at this rate then it shouldn't even take 10 years for me to accumulate 100,000,000,000 Z or so. However, around here all at once, I want some kind of big profit. I won't say something luxurious like several hundred billions. It's fine if it's just ten billion or so...I guess that's still luxurious huh? Well, I'll hold my hopes high for the 8th floor.
Last night after that, I joined up with my four combat slaves I had left behind and we all went to eat dinner together. During the time we were exploring the dungeon, it seems my combat slaves were training and making sausages. After listening to their conversation and Catherine is giving her best. Today and tomorrow other than running it's almost entire days off, the day after tomorrow I intend to go to the capital together with Miduchi, Basutoral, and Catherine to look at several candidates for a factory.
In any case let's get some good rest today and tomorrow.
I ended up enjoying it slowly and laid back while taste testing sausages at lunchtime.

Year 7446, Month 1, Day 1
The capital of Rombertia in front of Greed Company, Miduchi and I are standing on Bell Street together with the employees waiting for the parade of the first knight group to pass by. Since it's in the middle of winter it's considerably cold but everyone was in a reasonably warm outfit and we bought some hot stew from a stall so our preparations against the cold are perfect. Every since we replenished our stock of products the other day, our customers have been returning to the company so today on New Years it's the first day off for everyone in a while.
In order to let Anna see well I'm letting her ride my shoulders. Hanna is riding on the husband who married into Dianne's family Luke's shoulders, and Kanna is riding on Rozral's shoulders who he's attached to on the level of becoming a grandfather. I guess Anna was copying a line Leila uses when apologizing,
"I'm sorry, president."
and she said that but something like a young Cat-person girl is completely light. Also, I can easily tell from their lively voices. Hanna and Kanna were both enjoying themselves as well.
""Oh!""
"Ah!""
The officials that are leading them sing a song in a loud voice as they approach.
The voices of the officials seem to already be getting a bit hoarse and it's completely unknown what they're singing.
The cheers of the citizens lined up along the road echo through the capital.
The parade should already be just past that corner.
