Orc Harem Vol 5 Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Orc-san Can’t Do Perverted Activity! Is Not the Case

.

Our sea travel finished and it’s late at night when we returned to my mansion in the commercial city.

My health has also gotten better, so I want to make love with the  two, but the two who had been driving the Orc Car by turns are  completely exhausted, so I got rejected.

While I was confined on the bed in Lilith’s castle, the two of them  did a lot for me with their hands or mouth with deep devotion as my  health was getting better. I’m extremely thankful to them.

But, no matter what I was unable to do sex that could put a burden to my body.

Thanks to that it feels like my frustration is going to explode. Not being able to get any right now is really agonizing for me.

And yet, I have been holding back until now, so I want to obtain the  greatest pleasure and shoot it all out in one go……being a lonely orc  that comfort myself will be a waste, I can’t do that.

「Chirp chirp」

The morning arrived without me being able to get even a wink of sleep. I can hear the chirping of the small birds.

It seems that my sexual desire going over the limit has blown away my sleepiness.

But, but, Tita and Kururu are going to wake up soon.

「Fuhahahahahahahahahahaha!」

Right from the morning, I’m going to go Hiace on the cute elf and the  little fox-chan and make them go danke danke, yeah! (TN: Seems like  this is a slang from Kancolle fandom. Hiace is a Toyota brand car, the  one usually used for kidnapping in doujin and the like. Danke is German  language of thank you, but in Kancolle fandom danke danke seems to mean  of doing perverted prank to ship girl. Combined it means kidnapping ship  girl and doing lewd things to them.)

As I was thinking such thing, a visitor came.

At this early in the morning.

I opened the door violently.

「Look here, do you know what time is it right now? Use your common sense. SCRAM!」

As expected, even a sociable orc like me will become aggressive at this kind of time.

The visitor slipped their foot into the door’s gap when I’m about to close it.

Is this high pressure salesmanship?

「M-my deepest apologies. Please listen to me! I know how bothersome  it must be to come in this early morning, but, that, my master,  Zacharic-sama ordered me to watch over Ork-sama’s residence, and if  Ork-sama return, I’m ordered to call for Ork-sama with urgency.」

If it’s Zacharic-san who is calling then I can’t just ignore it.

Or rather, this person, even though he is ordered to monitor this  residence, he went home when it was late at night? He dare to get in the  way of my danke danke with only that degree of resolve? If it’s like  this then only friendship can…….

「Ouch-」

「Ork, why are you making that kind of scary face?」

Tita has come without me noticing and hit my head.

「Did I make that kind of face?」

「You did. Come on, the employee of Zacharic company is that scared of you.」

Now that she mentioned it, for some reason the person is sitting on the ground with his teeth clattering noisily.

「Sorry, this is like, that, you know. If you get in the way of an  or……mmhmm, mmhmm, of my love, it’s the same like disturbing a lion from  his meal.」

That was dangerous. I forgot that I am disguised as human using the earring of dazzlement. I almost called myself an orc.

「It’s you Ork who returned back much later than scheduled right? So you shouldn’t get angry like that.」

「Yeah, sorry. Give me a bit of time.」

Deep breath, hii – hii – fuu, hii – hii – fuu.

Yosh, I’m calm.

「My bad. I’ll tidy up my appearance right away. Give me thirty seconds.」

「That’s too fast!? Ork, you’re in your pajama right now you know-」

「Do you think you can find the castle in the sky like that!?」

「As I thought, you’re in a strange tension Ork!」

I can’t deny that I’m strangely high tensioned.

After all, an orc who is in the middle of celibacy is like a Pacific  blue fin tuna that is in the middle of participating in full marathon!

◇

I spent fifteen minutes instead of thirty seconds to get ready before  I and Tita followed Zacharic’s messenger wearing formal wear for  business discussion.

「Umm, Ork-sama. Your face, how should I say it, it looks very refreshed and gentle now.」

「Yeah, I got really refreshed after having a shower.」

「On the contrary Tita-sama is, umm, should I say that she looks  really exhausted? She doesn’t seem to be energetic right from the  morning.」

「……I let my guard down. It was stupid of me, trying to take on the pent-up Ork by myself.」

Tita noticed my bad condition and while I was taking shower, she  entered inside with reddened face and said that she would help, just for  a little.

I was too moved that I shed tears from both above and below while  making her go danke danke as my orc instinct dearly wished for in a  headlong charge. That’s why both my heart and body are completely  refreshed now.

「Tita, I love you.」

「……Yep, I’m happy, with your feeling.」

Tita didn’t sound articulate, perhaps because of her fatigue.

I repented.

To think that my sexual desire also increased along with my basic ability.

I have to become a more gentlemanly orc.

◇

We are ushered into a reception room.

Zacharic welcomed me with a  grave face.

I got a little on guard seeing that.

A situation that cornered a man of Zacharic’s caliber must be something extraordinary.

What came to mind is…….

「Is there an economy related trouble? Don’t tell me, has the sugar regulation started already!?」

The sugar business that I’m doing together with Zacharic Company is  being considered as a problem that disturbs the economy. The development  of product with high profitability that can replace sugar and opening  insurance business to reduce the risk of foreign trade. I had suggested  those two ideas to Zacharic and moved to realize them.

Those are our greatest objectives at present.

「No, that matter is progressing without problem. I have thoroughly  researched the market value of all commercial products including in  other major cities. The result show that it’s possible to obtain profit  even without sugar, although it will be tight. In addition when I  suggested the idea of insurance to the commerce guild, a lot of people  approve it and right now the specialists are setting up the fine details  of the rule. It will be carried out in half a month and after that the  trade will surely be revitalized again. The feudal lord is also showing  his understanding.」

Things are going well.

I took out spices from my pouch.

「I see, then with this souvenir things will be perfect. These are the  spices that are used in Ork’s menchi katsu. In this document you can  see the data about the overseas city that is handling the spices and the  safe route to reach there. I have also talked with the feudal lord over  there.」

In the first place I headed to Lilith’s place was in order to find spices to be trading item with high profitability.

Spice isn’t bulky, it can be stored for a long period, its market  price is high. It truly possess everything necessary to be a commercial  product.

「Hou, let me see……wonderful! If this sea route is truly safe and  these spices can be obtained there, we will obtain tremendous profit!  Wait, this isn’t the time. I called you here for a different matter.  There is a more urgent problem.」

What could it be?

If it’s not a talk about sugar or trade, I can’t think of anything else that can cause a disturbance between Xacharic and me.

「What is it?」

「It’s the festival, the festival poster that was pushed on Ork  Company! Even though you have to complete 2000 posters in two weeks, Ork  Company haven’t made any request to any workshop in the city at all  even now! You won’t make it at this rate! You won’t be able to just say  that sorry if you can’t do this. Listen well, if you get hated and  boycotted by the commerce guild, you will become unable to do business  in this city. Even I will be troubled if Ork Company gets driven out.」

「Aa, that.」

「The workshops in this city is getting pressured by the bunch who are  jealous with Ork Company, but my Zacharic Company has connection with  workshops in other city. If I start mobilizing in full force from now to  disperse the request to multiple workshops in other city, I’ll be able  to make sure that the posters are done in time. Stop being stubborn.  Admitting that you can’t do it is also a form of courage.」

I see, so it’s about that.

Zacharic is worried for me. At the same time he is also trying to make me indebted to him.

After all, if his worry for me is purely based on good intention, then he should have taken action already.

He will only move after I request for his help is the proof that this offer isn’t based on good intention but as a negotiation.

It seems that he evaluated me really highly. It’s just as he said,  dispersing the request to multiple workshops of other cities isn’t  something easy to do even for Zacharic Company. Doing that require vast  amount of money and guarantor. I’ve successfully made him think of me as  a partner who is worth it for him to go that far to make me indebted to  him.

But, however…….

「Oh, I should have said this before. The posters will be finished  perfectly before the deadline. Ork Company has various trump cards that  are unique to us.」

「But, while Ork-dono was absent, there hasn’t been any request made to any workshop in this city.」

「That’s because I asked the part-timer working in my company to take care of it.」

「Impossible, printing machine is extremely expensive, and in the  first place it’s not something that you can obtain without connection.  And you need skilled artisan to operate it. There is no way a part-timer  can do that kind of work.」

It’s just as he said, the printing machine that can be made with the  current technological level need someone who has trained for many years  to be able to use it well. The quality of the available paper and ink is  bad, and the printing machine itself is poorly made.

But, if it’s the improved version of Nishiki-e, mankind’s oldest  color printing machine that is designed by me and created by Kururu,  products with the same quality no matter who operated the machine can be  created.

「This is a good chance. Actually after we finish with this meeting,  I’m thinking to send a sample of the finished poster to the commerce  guild. Let me show you.」

Before I departed, I had given instruction to my subordinates in the  company and confirmed that the 2000 posters had been finished properly.

I spread open the finished product.

I need to provide twenty posters as sample, so the bundle is quite thick.

「This is, how vibrant. It’s like painting. It’s impossible to print  out something like this. Just how many artists are required to draw this  one by one manually? Just how many months it would take……」

「I have twenty with me. Please look.」

Zacharic’s gaze changed.

And then, he flipped the bundle of posters one after another.

「Impossible, although there are some degree of difference in the  coloring, all of them are uniform. It’s impossible to draw all of them  by hand, their coloring, printing, something like this should be  impossible, it should be impossible but……the impossible is right before  me.」

「Yes, it’s possible. I have created a machine in my workshop that can  do color printing no matter who operate it. Everyone has worked hard  while I was away and 2000 posters are already completed including the  spares. What’s left is just to distribute them.」

Zacharic let out a huge sigh in astonishment.

「……Good grief, I’m always getting shocked by Ork-dono. Can I ask you  to sell me that color printing machine that has no need for highly  skilled operator? I don’t mind if you only sell me the finished product,  but if you also provide me the blueprint, I’ll give you fifty times of  its original price.」

I slowly shook my head.

「I see, so it’s something that amazing, that you are reluctant to sell it.」

「No, I didn’t have time, so the quality is still not something worthy  to be displayed to the world. I wish to improve it until it reach the  level that won’t shame me but……I have a lot of other things to do, so I  don’t know when I’ll be able to finish it. I can’t promise to sell  something like that.」

To be honest the color printing machine this time still has a lot of problems.

Zacharic has also pointed that out just now. Actually the coloring of  the finished products is scattered all over the place. The letters too,  although they are still within the tolerable limit, they are somewhat  blurred.

The machine still needs improvement.

These posters’ quality is nothing more than the minimum so that I can make it in time for the festival.

「……A machine that can print out a coloring this vibrant with only a  company’s part-time worker operating it is incomplete. Fuhahaha, really  Ork-dono, you are just too much.」

「Please allow me to bring this up again for negotiation later when I complete it one day.」

「But of course. Fuu, anyway I’m relieved that this matter’s prospect  is bright. I’m looking forward to see the face that the senile old fools  in the commerce guild will make.」

「Me too.」

After all although I said that this also serve as Kururu’s training, I  created something difficult like color printing machine instead of  black and white poster just to give those guys a scare.

「Then, seeing that you’re here already, let’s have business talk. The  sea route that Ork-dono discovered, what price will you put for it?」

「I’m not planning to profit from this. After all I only looked for this route in order to revitalize the trade.」

「……Is that alright? I never heard of a merchant who sell travel route for free.」

「If the trade is revitalized, I’ll be able to find as many business  opportunities as I want. Right now the priority is to reassure the lord  and give a kick to the behind of the merchants. ……Right, if I have to  give a reason, I’m selling favor with this. I’ll leave it to  Zacharic-sama to choose the partners for expanding the route.」

「Very well. I’ll only spread this information to morally principled people who understand its value.」

In the world of merchant, favor is regarded with higher importance  than number. Anyone who turned their back on that would be chased away  from this world.

Anyone who passed Zacharic’s evaluation will surely become of  assistance for me without fail. That too is something that I won’t be  able to obtain by money. It will become of help for me in that shape.

「Is our talk finished with this?」

「Yes, Ork-dono, until next time again at our regular meeting. I think I’ll be able to give you good news about the sugar then.」

「I’m grateful for that.」

「Also……please enjoy the festival. My Zacharic Company will also  prepare a lot of stalls. Furthermore they will display things that only  we can realize. I guarantee to you that it will be the greatest  festival.」

……Festival, stall.

Aa, come to think of it, it’s allowed to do business in this festival.

This festival is the biggest one in this country. Besides, it will  absolutely be fun to make a stall or something for it. I also want to  make one. I love this kind of event.

But, my recovery and rehabilitation come first.

Anyway, let’s just do what I should do diligently.

After sending the sample to the commerce guild, and then entrusting  the posters to the carpenter that Tita has contracted to spread the  posters, our preparation for the festival is finished.
