“Now you want to make it even more plex. How will we even find the actors and musis and all?” Shisui asked.

  “The world is very rge, brother. We just have to search a little. Otherwise, even normal people could be trained by the time the stru of the theater or stadium is over,” Kaida replied.

  “I don’t know... it’s too much workload,” Shisui said, leaning ba the sofa.

  “Actually, finding the troupe for the drama is not hard. There are many nomadic troupes who occasionally perform for Daimyos and nobles. We just have to vine of them to work for us.

  "As for musid other parts, that’s also not a problem at all. If we bihis with our bathhouse structure—like separate pces for nobles, merts, and normal people—this will be another hit, way more thahhouse,” Hae said after some time.

  “So, we do this?” Kaida asked.

  “Sadly, no,” Hae replied.

  “Why, Aunt?” Kaida asked, a little fused.

  “I mean not now. Even though we have a stable source of ihe new pn you’ve proposed will bee a money sinkhole once we start stru. From chakra-hardened ground to various seals to protect the crowd, as well as barriers, and then making three separate ses for all types of audiences... and the sheer scale of the stadium!

  "All of this bined will increase the stru cost so high that we may have to take another loan from the bank,” Hae expined.

  “What will be the cost of struom?” Shisui asked.

  “From the rough estimate, it will be around 30–45 million Ryo, depending on how much we are willing to spend.”

  “What?! Will it even be worth it?” Shisui shouted in shobsp;

  The amount was not small by any means. The nd price of 40 million could be justified because of the sheer size of the nd. By just selling it back when the need arose, or when the price went up, it would be a profitable deal. But the stadium was a different thing. The building itself would be pricey, and they wouldn’t be able to recoup the iment if the pn failed and the stadium flopped. At most, they’d be able to sell the stadium for 20 million, and even that was wishful thinking.

  “Don’t worry, brother. I’m sure it will work out,” Kaida said with a small chuckle, seeing the tense expression on Shisui’s fabsp;

  “Yeah, the ces of failure are low. The ck of eai sources is quite simple if you think about it. And since we are entering an untouched sector, it will be easy to establish ourselves as well,” Hae expined in a better way, easing some of Shisui’s worries.

  “Aunt, it’s just 30–40 million. ’t we take another loan from the bank?” Kaida asked.

  “Sadly, no. Since we just took a loan, the one will be given after three months. We try other sources, but the i rates are too high. And sihere’s no hurry for it anyway, we should first establish and promote the shops. With our newly revamped shops and bathhouse bihere’s even a ce we won’t he loan in the first pce,” Hae replied.

  “It’s terrifying how we’re casually discussing such a big amount, and that too in months,” Shisui said with a sigh.

  “We are rich, brother,” Kaida replied with another chuckle.

  “We also have to establish staff if we’re going to expand our business so much. I was able to hahe bathhouse somehow, but with shops and the stadium in the mix, it will be difficult to maintain all of them at the same time.”

  “Yeah, and those people should be trustworthy enough. I don’t want some spy mixed in with us,” Kaida said.

  “The’s recruit our staff from the border vilges. Those people have faced tough times, so they will be grateful to us and will not betray us under normal circumstances,” Shisui suggested.

  “Brother, you sound like some bpany owner who is going to exploit poor people,” Kaida teased.

  “I don’t know what this bpany is, but I’m trying to help them, not exploit them,” Shisui said with a smack to Kaida’s head.

  “So, if we’re pnning on doing that, we have to take care of their identity passes and living areas too,” Hae said.

  “It’s not difficult, Aunt. We have so mud,” Kaida said. Once again, he pced his hands on the dirt, and multistory buildings emerged from the ground.

  “And if this is not enough,” he tinued as many more buildings emerged oer another.

  “Good. Now you even want to deal in real estate as well. Do you know how much paperwork we’ll have to do for this?” Shisui asked.

  “Brother, you’re fetting one important thing,” Kaida said.

  “What?”

  “We are riow, and rich people don’t do paperwork—they employ people to do that,” Kaida replied.

  “Good. I really don’t want to handle all of that,” Hae said, knowing she’d be the one responsible for the paperwork if it came down to it.

  “The’s finalize this pn. For the 3–4 months, we’ll focus on shops and try to get all the necessary permissions for the stadium. After colleg the necessary funds, we’ll start the stru of the stadium, right?” Kaida said.

  “Yes. Now this mess you’ve made; it’s almost diime,” Hae said, pointing toward the dirt spread across the hall.

  “Okay, Aunt,” Kaida replied and started ing up.

  “I’m back!” Yomi announced as she ehe house, only to find Kaida sweeping the floor.

  “What happened?” she asked, notig the dition of the hall.

  “We were discussing some business, and I used Earth Style to show some models. Now I’m ing it,” Kaida expined.

  “Good. I’m going to give Kenta his mattress then,” Yomi said as she calmed down and headed toward the backyard.

  “Are you not going to help me?” Kaida asked.

  “I know you’ll do just fine by yourself. I trust you pletely,” Yomi shouted as she left for the backyard.

  “Tch, such a great girlfriend I have,” Kaida muttered as he tinued ing.

  Later, Kaida went outside, only to fia sleeping on a fy-looking brown mattress with Naruto sleeping on top of him, while Yomi ed his fur.

  “You guys are really enjoying yourselves while I’m w, huh?”

  “Guah,” the bear somehow gave a happy smile to Kaida.

  “The food is ready. Shisui, take Kenta’s portion outside,” Hae shouted from the kit.

  “Guah,” Kenta suddenly sat upright upon hearing about the food. With his sharp senses, he had already been sav the aroma for a while.

  As he sat up, Naruto started to fall off. Kaida was about to catch him, but Kenta, being closer, caught him easily.

  “Hehehe, that was fun,” Naruto said.

  “This boy…” Yomi sighed.

  “Kenta, here’s your food,” Shisui said, bringing out a big tray full of meat and ribsp;

  “You guys e ioo,” Shisui added as he started walking back, followed by the others, who once again enjoyed Hae’s delicious cooking.
