Chapter 402 Rumors of a New Product ①
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The magic circuit shop “Harvest”¹ was reportedly launching a new product. The news spread slowly but surely across the continent, whispered with the fervor of gospel truth.
This was largely because a vast number of stakeholders were slated to participate in the upcoming “trials” held by the shop’s owner, Kento. Of course, one could not underestimate the “underground” network of women-those with appetites their husbands couldn’t quite satisfy-whose hearts had been utterly captured by previous hits like the “Tremble-Ddo-Buddy”².
Word first reached the Beast-person Association, the Adventurers’ Guild, the Tasogare Merchant Guild, and the Church of Demon-Subjugation through the various women who had served as his “test subjects.” These women, buzzing with anticipation, passed the gossip along to their inner circles.
The news broke during lewd chatter shared over tea, in rumors whispered during workplace breaks, as a spicy conversation starter during business negotiations, and even as “tactical intel” exchanged during training sessions.
Kento also ensured the word reached the highest levels of government. Through Queen Cecile-who had personally overseen some of his “experiments”-he sent formal notices to the neighboring kingdoms. One such letter arrived for Ierse, the Crown Princess of the northern Coalmine Kingdom.
”…!”
”What is it, Ierse?” her husband, Crown Prince Gilliam, asked.
”Darling, look… a letter from Lady Cecile. It says a new product from the magic circuit shop ‘Harvest’ is about to hit the market.”
She read the news alongside Gilliam. Since she had been away for much of the previous year, Gilliam was determined to spend every possible moment by her side. Her mention of the shop reminded him of the lonely nights he’d spent while she was gone, but right now, his mind was on a more pressing concern.
”I see,” Gilliam said, his voice dropping. “But in your current condition…”
”I know,” Ierse replied with a soft smile. “But I’m so looking forward to it. Once this little one is finally born, you’ll just have to dote on me twice as much to make up for lost time♡”
”U-umu…!” Gilliam sputtered.
After her return from the Canaria Kingdom, Ierse had been blessed with their first child. While it was common knowledge that “Harvest” goods had played a pivotal role in their “baby-making” efforts, the exact details remained a private matter between the royal couple.
However, one only had to look at Gilliam-utterly captivated by a wife who seemed to grow more radiant and sensually lush with every month of her pregnancy-to imagine how intense their private hours had become. Ierse turned to her maid, who had turned bright red at the display of royal affection.
”I’ll be writing a reply,” Ierse said. “Could you prepare the stationery?”
”Y-yes, Your Highness! An answer for Her Majesty the Queen of Canaria, I assume?” the maid asked.
”Yes. And one for Sylvaol as well. Oh, and send word to Flearis of the House of Earl Popol. I’ve relied on that poor girl for far too long; it’s high time I sent her back to her own beloved’s side.”
Watching her merciful and wise future Queen, the maid felt a surge of pride for the kingdom’s future. She would gladly serve as Ierse’s hands and voice to ensure “Harvest” products took firm root in Coalmine.
”Fufu, I really can’t wait…” Ierse whispered.
”Ierse?” Gilliam asked.
”It’s nothing, darling♡”
Ierse couldn’t suppress a smirk as she watched her “Ddo-Buddy Economic Sphere”³ steadily take shape. It was her usual, flower-like smile… and her husband simply found her more precious for it.
* * *
Elsewhere, others were opening Cecile’s correspondence. King William of the western Ferguson Kingdom made a slightly bitter face at the letter, which had been sent under the joint names of Kento and the Queen for diplomatic reasons.
”Oh, what’s that look for, dear?” Queen Mary asked.
”It’s… a letter from Queen Cecile,” William replied.
”Hmm.”
Mary’s gaze pierced him instantly. William had been honest since hiding it would only make things worse, but to him, this was a letter from an ex-fiancée who had dumped him brutally. Having his wife give him the cold shoulder on top of that would be more than he could bear.
”I told you, there’s nothing going on,” William insisted. “If you don’t believe me, read it yourself.”
”Fufu, I’m only teasing,” Mary said, leaning in. “Even though I’ve given you five children, you’re still a bigger nursing babe than any of them♡”
”……”
King William was a lifelong, hardcore devotee of the “Boob Party.” Even before their marriage, he had been teased for talking to Mary’s chest rather than her face. That hadn’t changed after five kids; if anything, he loved his wife more than ever, having long ago decided that her cleavage was his ultimate resting place.
Knowing his weakness, Queen Mary had no qualms about spoiling him. “Shall I come and play mommy for you♡?” she teased, as was their usual routine. But today, William held firm with a will of steel.
”Please… let me finish the letter first,” he said.
”Yes, yes♡” Mary replied.
In truth, he had only postponed his indulgence. Given his usual track record, this was a minor miracle. Even as a boob-worshipper, he knew he had to prioritize a missive regarding the restoration of the East-West Trade Route. Such was the heavy burden of leadership.
”…A ‘new product’?” William muttered.
”What!?” Mary reacted instantly.
”M-Mary!?”
”No, sorry. Ignore me. Keep reading!” she urged.
At the mere mention of a new release, Mary’s composure had shattered. While “Harvest” products had certainly enriched the royal marriage, the primary beneficiary wasn’t William-who was happy as long as he was buried in his wife’s bosom-it was Mary herself.
She wasn’t dissatisfied with her husband’s performance; she wouldn’t have had five children otherwise. However, a little extra spice in the bedroom was a welcome change of pace.
Furthermore, “Harvest” was the only topic of conversation in high society lately. Until now, she’d usually heard the news second-hand from the wives of border lords, but now she was getting the intel straight from the source. She leaned over her husband’s shoulder, her eyes scanning the parchment.
”…The ‘Wriggle Ddo-Buddy’⁴, is it? Another strange name… wait. ‘Fairy Bee’ honey and ‘Fortress Ant’ shells?” William blinked. “He wants to import the raw materials from our country! It’s exactly as Lord Harvest predicted!”
William was overjoyed. When he had first heard the term “Ddo-Buddy Economic Sphere” back in Canaria, he’d questioned their sanity, but a concrete trade deal was another matter entirely.
Kento’s promise to source materials from the Ferguson Kingdom had been little more than a verbal agreement. To see it manifested so quickly was a godsend. This would offset the massive costs of the trade route restoration and the “Stampede” recovery. He turned to share the good news with his wife, but…
”So? What kind of item is this ‘Wriggle Ddo-Buddy’ exactly?” Mary asked.
It seemed his wife cared much more about the product than the profit. Still, this was an important metric for William; a product only makes money if it sells. And his most loyal customer was clearly hooked.
”A-ah. There are no specifics yet, but it says a sample will be delivered shortly,” William said.
”I see… I’m so looking forward to it, darling♡ You’ll have to show me exactly how it works…♡”
”U-umu…!”
Whatever his personal thoughts, nothing beat seeing his wife happy. He pulled her close and kissed her cheek. At this rate, a sixth child wasn’t far off.
And so, the rumors of the “Wriggle Ddo-Buddy” trickled down from the thrones of Canaria’s two greatest allies. As a side effect, the news of the royal couples’ renewed passion slightly deepened the bonds of marriages across the continent-but that is a story for another time.
