Chapter 536 The Super Ddo-Buddy Trade Zone ③
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”To exterminate the succubi of the Southern Continent…”
”Yes. If that can be done, everyone will praise my master.”
The guest from the Southern Continent, Nada-san, said this with a sharp gaze. Succubi had gone extinct in the Northern Continent where we live, but they survived in the Southern Continent. I was already confused by that information alone, but I never expected her to have such an objective…
”…But, even if you tell me that, I’m in a bind, you know? My products weren’t exactly made to fight against succubi. If you came all the way here to buy them for that purpose, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but…”
”Don’t worry about it. I did say it was ‘one of my objectives,’ didn’t I? I would be happy if that were possible, but regardless of that, my master is… ah, she has a strong curiosity in that direction…”
(So she’s a pervert after all!) I thought to myself, reacting to the words she chose but ultimately didn’t say. Well, considering the contents of that letter, there is no room to doubt her master’s sexual preferences… Plus…
”I see… Certainly, if it’s that kind of story, you should go talk to the Church instead of me.”
Yes, if you want to consult about succubi, there are much more suitable people than me. In the first place, it has been hundreds of years since succubi were in the Northern Continent. Naturally, I wasn’t alive then, and “D**do-Buddy”¹ didn’t exist either. The ones who wiped out those succubi were the power of the Clergymen of the “Church of Demon-Subjugation”.
If you are serious about wanting to exterminate the succubi, you should rely on the Church. I could even introduce you if you want. There’s a Holy Figure, a Saint, a surprising nun, and a sketchy Archbishop—it’s a full selection, right? That’s what I thought, but Nada-san’s expression was not favorable.
”…The Church is no good.”
”…Is that so?”
”Yeah. I know that, normally, I should be asking for their cooperation… but in my master’s ‘position’, I cannot rely on them.”
So, it’s her master’s “position”… I can imagine a lot of things. For example, her master is hostile to the Church. Or, she belongs to an organization that is hostile to them. Or, just as an example, she might be related to the religion over there.
Come to think of it, I don’t know the religions of the Southern Continent. The “Church of Demon-Subjugation” seems to be a religion of the Northern Continent, but considering the doctrines, it’s possible it originated in the Southern Continent and the main body is over there… Well, it’s useless to pile up speculation on speculation.
Another possibility is that her adversary is close to the Church. Although the Church does not show much interest in the Southern Continent, it would be unnatural for them to have absolutely no connection.
I could ask the “Holy Eminence” and the others, but… it feels like it would be troublesome, so I’ll leave it for if an opportunity arises. My goal is just for my products to sell; I have no intention of sticking my nose into the power relations of other continents.
”In that case, I won’t ask any deeper. So, uh… what were we talking about again?”
Fati from the Uminari (Sound of the Sea) merchant guild interjected, “…Wasn’t it about the wife of General Mamache? No, was it the story about not being able to accept that a woman from Sylvaol is seeking the products of Lord Harvest…”
Rafuoro from the Yuunari (Evening Calm) merchant guild added, “No, before that, what Kento-shi was talking about should have been the story about exporting to the Southern Continent.”
The topic has gone back and forth, and it has drifted quite a bit from the main subject…
However, the objective of “That Person / Certain Individual” and the lamentation of General Mamache are both important stories for thinking about future sales expansion. If I want to increase exports to the Southern Continent, I want to ask for the cooperation of “That Person / Certain Individual”, and if I want to sell to Sylvaol, I have to persuade men who think like the General.
”Ah, that’s right, that’s right. In that case, let’s start with the story of General Mamache… Uh, General, what’s the matter?”
When I looked at the General thinking I would return to the original topic, his face looked completely drained. When he was called out by me, he looked startled and straightened his posture.
”N-no, I’m sorry. It became a magnificent story and I couldn’t keep up, so I thought how small my own worries were… Nada-dono, is it better not to tell my country about this current story…?”
”Yeah, I would be happy if you could do that. It’s not that I’m hiding it… but I don’t want to be probed any more than necessary.”
Was it “your wife will be snatched away by a succubus”? Certainly, compared to such a story, buying adult magic circuits² or whatever might be a trivial matter. Besides, this problem is impossible to solve in a day.
”…Since we’re here, why don’t I give General Mamache our shop’s products as a gift?”
”…What?”
”You won’t know unless you try it, right? No, it doesn’t matter if you use it or not. You can just say ‘I was forced to take it at work, and I can’t bear to throw it away,’ and ask your wife directly.”
”B-but…”
”There’s no need to think too deeply about it. If your wife doesn’t like it, please just try handing it to her for the time being. If it goes well, I certainly hope you and your wife will enjoy it together. I have a wife too, but… well, the relationship at night is an important thing.”
”U-um…”
In this way, I decided to force our shop’s products onto General Mamache. I don’t know how it will turn out, but I believe in our shop’s products and the power of word-of-mouth.
If you are a man, there should be no reason to disagree with your wife “rejoicing” in various senses. And if the relationship between the Mamache couple becomes intimate, those around them will gradually want to hear the secret. Or, perhaps the General’s wife will secretly spread the rumors to the women around her.
I don’t know if it will go that well, but that’s how our shop has always increased its customers. If it doesn’t go well… I’ll think about it then. Even if not, the demand is growing little by little, so there must be some sort of strategy.
Ah, I should also give it to the subordinate that the General mentioned earlier who wants our shop’s products.
I might as well have all the men accompanying me who have partners take them. A brute-force strategy using gifts. If I hit enough numbers, there will surely be someone who hits the mark.
”Uh, and then… Schueri-san, did the interpretation for Nada-san finish? Regarding the export to the Southern Continent and the future relationship with ‘That Person / Certain Individual’…”
I speak to Schueri, the diplomat from Sylvaol. Yes, this is the real main topic. A while ago, while she was explaining to Nada-san, I was concerned about General Mamache’s state, but I must proceed properly with this business negotiation.
Schueri replied, “Yes, first regarding the latter, she says she is definitely for it.”
Nada-san continued, “Yeah, if new products are developed in the future and they arrive regularly, the master will be pleased. I will also make sure to tell him how well you treated me.”
Mm-mm, this is also a gift strategy first. “That Person / Certain Individual,” who has been revealed to be a considerable pervert, cannot fail to be happy with new products.
…When I think about it, this is the same method I used on Queen. I have become on intimate terms with her, but even now, every time a new product is made, I give her a “report”. Of course, the way I “report” has changed into a form that actually “reports” to her body, though?
I would be happy if “That Person / Certain Individual” takes a position in the Southern Continent like Queen and protects our shop’s products… but well, I wonder about that.
”Regarding the sale of the products, well, that too… As I said earlier, ah, I’m thinking of a way to sell them feeling like… a charm? against succubi. For me, I would be happy if it could become one of the… funding sources? of the master…”
Although I had Schueri-san intervene halfway, Nada-san generally talked like that. For us, this is exactly what we wished for. I definitely want to make this a mutually profitable story.
”I see, then I have one more request… or rather, a business negotiation, is that okay?”
”Hm…?”

• Nada – A tall, slender Southern Continent envoy with dark skin, glossy black hair, and sharp almond eyes. Dressed in elegant, practical attire, this calculating diplomat serves her influential master with deep devotion. While clumsy with formal honorifics, she is expressive, prone to fist-bumping, and eager for trade. She balances a blank professional façade with a penchant for vulgar northern terminology.
• 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.
• Mamache – A large-framed, bronze-skinned general from the Kingdom of Sylvaol, he wears a formal military uniform laden with medals. Though a capable, stern tactician serving as Nada-dono’s guard, he is easily intimidated by complex discourse and bewildered by modern trends. Currently, he is deeply troubled by his wife’s relationship with a succubus and is desperately seeking a solution to his marital issues.
• Fati – A Sylvan Uminari merchant guild representative and advisor to Kento, she aids in complex trade logistics to secure Southern Continent maritime rights. With sun-kissed bronze skin and bruised-crimson hair in a bandana, she uses the informal “atai,” dreams of an all-female crew, and passionately defends her shop’s magic goods. She is a key ally in navigating delicate business negotiations for the guild.

• Kento – Lord Harvest, the reclusive Viscount and master of the Dildo-Buddy Mansion magic shop, resembles a dark-haired Japanese salaryman. Bound to the Queen, he uses strategic acumen to manage diplomatic and cultural discussions regarding his adult-toy inventory. Socially perceptive yet cautious, he shares a quiet intimacy with his companion Amelia and puts guests at ease with informal greetings.
