Chapter 534 The Super Ddo-Buddy Trade Zone ①
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
After the audience with Nada-san, the guest from the Southern Continent, concluded, we ended up moving to another room together.
Needless to say, this was to conduct business negotiations.
Our shop’s merchandise had been prepared in a separate room beforehand.
”…Um, please keep the contents of that letter strictly confidential.”
”Ah, yes, I understand…”
The one who spoke to me was Schueri-san, the diplomat from Sylvaol.
Given those contents, I could not talk about it even if I wanted to.
Even she had not expected it to be read by Her Majesty the Queen, so she seemed to have been quite panicked.
”I am sorry, Schueri. But I thought there was no better way to convey the master’s enthusiasm than that…”
”N-No, as long as it was settled peacefully, I suppose there is no problem.”
”Yes, it is perfectly fine. Her Majesty the Queen is an understanding person, after all.”
”I-Is that so?”
Nada-san had been looking a bit downcast, but she seemed to have successfully shifted her mood while being cheered up.
While we were doing that, we arrived at our destination.
”Now, it is right through here. Will General Mamache also be entering the room?”
”If it is not a problem. I am Nada-dono’s guard, after all.”
”Yes, that is perfectly fine. However, the stimulation might be a bit too strong for someone who is not used to it.”
”Hmm…?”
After confirming, I guided the three of them into the room.
By the way, the ones accompanying us in this place, in addition to Nada-san, Miss Schueri, and General Mamache, were Fati from the Sound of the Sea merchant guild¹ and Rafuoro from the Evening Calm merchant guild.
Additionally, there were several guards from our country acting as monitors, but that group was composed entirely of women.
They were probably the subordinates of Captain Merluza of the Royal Guard.
I recognized a few of them.
”This is…!”
The one who let out a voice of surprise upon entering the room was Nada-san.
That was only natural, because on top of the desk placed in the center, our shop’s merchandise was lined up in rows.
Looking at it like this, the inventory had truly increased significantly.
The “Ddo-Buddy” models were arranged in order of size, and while it looked exactly like an exhibition of seized goods by the police in my previous world, it was quite a spectacular sight.
”I-Is all of this ‘Harvest’ merchandise…?”
”Yes. The ones on the left are our standard products, and the ones on the right are relatively new products. Shall I explain them to you one by one?”
”A-Ah. Please do…”
Confronted with the items of her objective right before her eyes, Nada-san looked a little overwhelmed.
However, the ones who showed an even more interesting reaction were Schueri and Mamache.
Particularly Schueri-san.
I could understand General Mamache being overwhelmed and wearing a face that screamed “Are you serious…?”
On the other hand, Schueri-san was making a face like “Oh my word!”
I wondered if this lady might actually be quite receptive to these things.
An elegant and unreachable noble daughter in her youth, seeing her curiosity piqued by these items was quite charming.
Also, while Nada-san was a customer to me, I also wanted to increase exports to Sylvaol, so catching the interest of someone as capable as her was a massive opportunity.
”Er, let us start with the products you are already familiar with. Lined up on the left side, as you can see, is the ‘Ddo-Buddy’ line—”
From then on, it was a fun time.
I introduced the products while having Fati and Rafuoro assist with explaining the detailed export situations.
First, among the older products, were the aphrodisiacs and lotions which required careful transport, as well as certain sizes and shapes of the “Ddo-Buddy”.
There were items among these that had not been exported yet, and Nada-san and Schueri-san listened to the explanation with great interest.
Next were the “Anl-types”, which had already become standard products at the main shop, along with various special “Ddo-Buddy” items, including the collaboration products with the “Help Stick”.
Since many of these had not been exported either, Nada-san began taking notes, and Schueri-san’s expression grew serious.
The recent products aimed at the Wielope Empire received a particularly good reaction.
As expected, they were probably easy to accept even for people who were not accustomed to our shop’s merchandise.
Down the line, it might even be a good idea to sell them on a large scale outside of Wielope as items for beginners.
Finally, to demonstrate our technological prowess, I even unveiled the decisive battle weapon against Mother Marian, at which point they looked as though they were completely full.
”Incredible… To think that what reached our continent was only a tiny fraction of the merchandise…”
”That is correct. After all, mass production capability and ease of transport are required conditions. Aside from that, items must be easy to use, or easy to buy…”
”…I am glad I did not just settle for Sylvaol and came all the way here. I am sure the master will be pleased too.”
Convinced of the success of her errand, Nada said so as her exhausted face turned into a smile.
As I thought, this person has a very expressive face.
It was not an exaggerated reaction, but it warmed my heart just watching her.
It was like seeing a well-trained dog with a proud countenance that just could not hide its joy.
That master of hers, who went by the title of “That Person,” had sent such an outrageous letter, but seeing how much she was adored, it seemed they could be trusted.
At any rate, now that the product introduction was over, the crucial business negotiation began from here.
In that letter, her master had mentioned that they would help with our business.
I wondered how big of a deal this would turn out to be.
”For the time being, will you be purchasing one of everything? If possible, it would be greatly appreciated if you could pay with the currency… the money used here.”
”Ah, the money was prepared in Sylvaol, so it is fine. Er, Schueri will handle that part—”
”Yes, we will take charge of that. The Kingdom of Sylvaol will take full responsibility regarding the payment and transport.”
That was the first stage.
I pumped my fist in my mind over the large-scale transaction and over successfully drawing Sylvaol into the fold.
The upper echelons of Sylvaol, who had previously only maintained a level of involvement akin to “you can do whatever you like,” had finally moved their heavy asses.
I felt deeply moved that we had managed to come this far from that “Ddo-Buddy Trade Zone”—which had been less of a pie in the sky and more of a “Ddo-Buddy drawn on a map.”
However, the real battle started now.
”In that case, regarding transport, please make use of the Sound of the Sea merchant guild and the Evening Calm merchant guild over there. I have left exports to the south, including across the sea, entirely to them.”
”Yes, I have heard about it. I understand they were the trigger for this whole matter as well. …I suppose it means they possessed great foresight. I intend to rely on them heavily from now on.”
””Understood, please leave it to us!””
Hearing Schueri’s words, Fati and Rafuoro were likely pumping their fists in their minds this time.
Since it seemed like a good opportunity to connect this smoothly to future discussions, I decided to press the advantage.
”Speaking of the future… what shall we do moving forward? As a shop, we aim to increase exports to Sylvaol and the Southern Continent. Furthermore, we are continuing product development, so if ‘That Person’ desires it, we intend to send those along from time to time as well.”
”I see…”
”…?”
Because I had phrased things in a slightly complicated manner, a translation from Schueri-san to Nada-san was interspersed.
To put it simply, reading between the lines, it amounted to: “We want to sell a lot, so both Sylvaol and ‘That Person’ better cooperate!”
If it was Schueri-san, she would probably include that nuance in her translation.
In fact, they proceeded to converse in their native language for a short while.
Thanks to that, I was left with time on my hands, so I mentally simulated various response patterns.
But right then, a person who was left out of this conversation caught my eye.
He looked somewhat downcast…
”General Mamache, is there something on your mind?”
”N-No, it is not particularly anything like that, but…”
Because I spoke to him, everyone’s eyes in the room gathered on him.
Hmm, I felt like it might have been fine to just leave him alone.
However, if there was some anxiety before a major business negotiation, I wanted to eliminate it.
”Please do not hesitate to speak up. As a merchant, I cannot allow a customer to wear such an expression.”
”…No, I am merely a guard—”
”You are a customer. To me, everyone who resides in Sylvaol is already a customer.”
”U-Umu…”
It was a slightly forceful way of prying it out of him, but eventually, Mamache gave in and slowly voiced his anxiety.
”That is, I have no intention of being disrespectful… But is this kind of thing… n-no, is this product truly popular among the women of our country and… many other nations…?”
Oh, I see.
This was actually a refreshing, or rather, nostalgic reaction.
Lately, everyone around me had become completely accustomed to it, so I had not needed to preach the necessity of adult magic circuits.
Perhaps it had been since the meeting with Ferguson of the West?
General Mamache’s age was somewhere past forty.
He was a large-framed, powerful man of high status and real ability, clad in a tightly fitted ceremonial uniform.
Yet, he had completely turned into a downcast old man who could not keep up with the new trends…

Summary:
The protagonist moves to a private room alongside his merchant guild partners to display his full array of adult novelties before the foreign delegation. While the diplomat Schueri-san subtly enjoys the spectacular view, General Mamache struggles to comprehend how such items could dictate the economic future of international empires. The negotiation pivots toward concrete logistics as the regional guilds step forward to assume control of the southern sea routes
—
Trivia:
- The diplomat Schueri-san had kept an intensely forward letter completely secret from Her Majesty the Queen, resulting in massive anxiety when the letter was actually reviewed.
- The protagonist notes a recurring pattern where the beginner-focused merchandise explicitly designed for the Wielope Empire exhibits an incredibly high baseline of cultural adoption among newcomers
—
Character Insight:
General Mamache experiences a distinct transition from a stoic, authoritative protector to an anxious, isolated outsider who realizes he can no longer keep up with the radical shifts in societal and feminine trends.

Glossary:
Notes:
• Nada – A tall, slender, dark-skinned beauty with glossy black hair and sharp almond eyes, this muscular yet graceful Southern Continent envoy serves an influential master (“That Person”). Deeply devoted, she masks her blank façade with highly expressive features, genuinely rejoicing over expanded trade for her homeland. Habitually fist-bumping, she stumbles over formal honorifics, slipping vulgar terms.
• Schueri – An elegant, slender Sylvaol diplomat with white skin who serves as lead retainer for Nada during the royal audience. Renowned for her polite, meticulous translations of local and continental languages—including obscene content—she bridges cultures, handles high-level external communications, and manages trade logistics while harboring a deep curiosity toward unusual adult merchandise.
• Mamache – A large-framed, muscular general from the Kingdom of Sylvaol with bronze skin, he serves as a guard for Nada-dono. Straining against his tightly fitted ceremonial uniform, he looks more comfortable in armor than courtly dress. Despite his high status and genuine military capability, he is completely bewildered and out-of-touch regarding the rapid cultural popularity of modern adult novelty trends.
• Rafuoro – A slender Yuunari Guild merchant with thin vermillion hair, pale skin, and a lanky frame, he represents the Evening Calm guild. Exuding calm poise surpassing Fati, he collaborates with a Sound of the Sea counterpart to manage shipping mechanics, distribution, and maritime trade safety, using shrewd diplomacy to secure international advantages with Southern Continent networks.
• Fati – A Sylvan woman with sun-kissed bronze skin and dark, bruised-crimson hair tied in a bandana, she serves as a Sound of the Sea (Uminari) merchant guild representative and advisor to Kento. Speaking informally as “atai,” she cooperates with the protagonist on logistics and trade stats, dreaming of an all-female crew while securing long-term maritime distribution rights to the Southern Continent.
• Merluza – The Captain of the Royal Guard, a veteran soldier and Lion Beast-person. She testifies to the military necessity and effectiveness of the ‘Tremble Ddo-Buddy’ (which she calls ‘Bob’) for female beast-person soldiers, ensuring job performance isn’t compromised by ‘heat’. Have dull yellow hair, large feline ears, wearing armor, and large scar over the right eye.
• Harvest – Kento Harvest, gaunt scholar in a tattered academic coat, wields low‑mana circuits and commands Academy systems. He runs an adult magic‑circuit shop, crafting rare components with cold calculation and brand trust. The Harvest name bears the Viscount title; he has multiple lovers/slaves and several children.
• Marian – Mother Superior of the Canarias convent, Ascetic Faction nun of the Church of Demon‑Subjugation, black habit, wavy purple hair, busty, tear‑shaped mole under one eye, Monroe walk.
