"Are you sure that you are not coming?" Mizuto asked in surprise.
"Um." Yume nodded obediently. "I won't bother you working. I know that you are working hard, so do your best." She kissed his cheek affectionately and then looked at him with a gentle smile. At that moment, she was like a loving housewife who sent her husband to work.
"Is that so?"
Either way, Mizuto didn't mind, but if he was alone, he could be faster since there was no need for him to pay attention to Yume during his work.
"But this is your working clothes?" Yume looked at him from up to the bottom. Usually, the standard uniform of every workforce was a suit, but Mizuto was different. He wore denim, a flannel shirt, boots, and a leather backpack. She had to say this style made him so manly and rugged, causing her to blush, which made her wish to be held by him.
Usually, he was elegant, yet now, he showed his fierce side.
Subconsciously, she took her phone and took a picture of him.
"....."
Mizuto fell in silence, took a deep breath, then said calmly, "Most of my work is outdoors. Wearing a suit is troublesome and hot. Anyway, I will try to go back as soon as possible." Pulling Yume closer, he kissed her cheek affectionately. "I will go back as soon as possible."
Yume was stunned and melted in his arms, then kissed his lips. "Um, do your best."
"If you want, you can take a spa here. All the service here is free."
"...." Yume had to say it felt a bit hard for her to get used to the luxury lifestyle.
Nevertheless, the moment Mizuto left, there was no distraction on his mind, and he gave his everything to work. Driving a motorcycle by himself, he visited various places, from the multiple warehouses in Osaka, the Port of Osaka, Kansai International Airport, and even many high-rise buildings in Osaka.
As he visited those places, he realized that many things happened in a single place. In a place that no one expected, a transaction of many items happened, especially at the Port of Osaka; Mizuto saw many things, from oil, gas, coffee beans, grains, cotton, iron ore, fruits, fish, cars, and even many manufacturing items.
With everything that he had seen, he realized how small his existence and business was.
"As expected of Osaka, huh?"
Mizuto was glad that he had come to Osaka since this liveliness was impossible to see in Kyoto, where everyone still clung to the tradition, but it didn't mean that it was bad since everyone had their own way of staying alive.
If Kyoto loses its traditional image, it might cause bankruptcy for many people as many rely on this image for a living.
Nevertheless, Mizuto knew that the amount of money that happened in Osaka was much larger than in Kyoto.
'If it's like this with Osaka, then how about Tokyo?'
Osaka had only 2.6 million people, but Tokyo had a total of 9.3 million people.
Mizuto felt like he needed to visit Tokyo in the future.
'Well, I should go to Tokyo soon.'
Nevertheless, as he was standing at the observatory area of Abeno Harukas, the tallest building in Japan until Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower was built, watching Osaka City from his position, he thought about all the business he had acquired.
If he had to explain from the beginning, it started with all the high-rise buildings that he had acquired in this country from the time he got his system until he came to Osaka. From the "Dipper," the "Otemachi Tower," the "Nakanoshima Festival Tower," and many others, which gave the total amount of his high-rise buildings was about five billion dollars, or 737.9 billion yen.
The income from those assets was only okay as it was mostly gained from office leasing, but with the quality of his building, the location, and many effects from his job skills, there was no need for him to worry about losing money as everything was stable.
Still, if he wanted to, he could create a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), something similar to an IPO or a way where a normal company gained money from a stock market. By selling a few percent of his total assets' shares, he could get more money.
Yet, he didn't need that; he thought that money was the only thing that he never lacked.
Besides the high-rise buildings, he also bought a bank. The two banks were Shinsei Bank and Aozora Bank, which he combined into one, the Mizuto Bank.
Probably, many thought that he should make his own bank, but it was troublesome to make a bank, and it wasn't easy to gain permission to build it. More importantly, those "Zaibatsu," or conglomerates, wouldn't allow a new competitor to grow, so the only way for one to get a bank was to acquire one that was exited.
It was impossible for him to acquire a great bank like Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group or Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group as he didn't have much money, so he acquired money center banks or large banks situated in economic hubs.
With those two banks he acquired, he knew it was only a time before his bank grew into a megabank, like Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group or Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group.
As he acquired a bank, Mizuto gained a heart for his business kingdom, so what he should do now was to grow limbs.
Now, after high-rise buildings and banks, he also got hotels.
The two hotels were the Aman Resorts, a famous luxury resort, and Prince Hotels, a deluxe hotel. The amount of money generated from a hotel might not be much, but it worked well for his "Real Estate Developer" as with resorts, he could increase the value of certain land that he had bought.
Still, due to his acquisition of Prince Hotels, he also acquired the parent company of this hotel, which was Seibu Holdings.
In this company, there were many subordinate companies from Seibu Railway, a major passenger railway; Seibu Lions, a professional baseball club located in Saitama; Yokohama Hakkeijima, an amusement park, and aquarium groups; and many countless other companies (check Wiki, please).
Mizuto knew that with all of those things, he had become a real estate tycoon.
Still, he knew that this wasn't enough, and he tried to extend his roots into the food industry.
Due to all the industries that he had acquired from hotels, railways, a baseball club, aquariums, and even an amusement park, food was indispensable, or rather, people would always buy food when they came to such a place, so he chose "Restaurateur" as his next job."
While it might be strange, Mizuto knew that many people underestimated the food industry. Watching people set up a stall, food truck, or even a food stall on the festival, they felt like it was a lower job, and it was much better to work in the office as a salaryman, yet he didn't think so since the amount of money generated from the food industry was crazy.
If he gave an example, every day, there would be at least 50,000 boxes of lunch sold on his railway companies. If the average price of the lunch box was about 800 yen, he would get 40 million yen daily, 1.2 billion yen monthly, 14.4 billion yen or 97.5 million USD, or almost 100 million USD yearly!
Moreover, all of this was cash!
This was one of the stations on his railway, and there were several stations on his railway, which made one imagine how profitable this business was, right?
Yet, this was normal, especially due to his "Restaurateur" job, which made the taste of the lunch box more delicious; it had always been sold out every day.
Due to this, he also acquired famous restaurants in this country, such as McDonald's (Only in Japan), KFC (Only in Japan), Matsuya (a famous chain gyudon restaurant), Saizeriya (a famous family-style Italian chain restaurant), Blue Bottle (a chain coffee shop), Gyu-Kaku (a chain yakiniku restaurant), and House Foods Group (a manufacturer of Japanese curry and own a Japanese curry chain restaurant).
The technology and internet industry might be good, but the cash generated from his restaurants was crazy. It was like a waterfall; they kept pouring out and never stopped. Moreover, he did not need to burn money to defeat his competitor, as in the food industry, the most important thing was how delicious it was.
With the skills from the "Restaurateur" job, was there any competitor that could make food more delicious than him?
Mizuto knew he could acquire more restaurants, but he held it for a while, trying to catch a breath since the bigger his kingdom was, the more troublesome it was to manage. If there weren't "Merchant" and "Businessman" jobs, they would take all of his time to manage.
Still, with his trip to Osaka, he knew that his decision to acquire the warehouse was correct, so while staring at the scenery of this city from the tallest building, he acquired many vital warehouses in this country and even overseas, officially turned himself into a "King of Warehouse."
Oh, he almost forgot that he also had acquired the Asahi Shimbun and Asahi TV, which made him also a media conglomerate in this country.
Sighing, he looked at his Rolex Explorer watch and saw that it was already three in the evening. He hadn't taken a break or lunch as he was focused on his job, so he thought to have lunch. Moreover, staying in this place any longer was quite annoying since the number of people who came to approach him never stopped.
'Are they ants?'
All the women and even some men tried to approach him like a group of ants attracted by sugar.
While he was helpless, fortunately, he wasn't famous.
'If I become more famous...'
Mizuto could imagine that it would be a catastrophe, and it was also fortunate the camera in this country would make a sound when it took a picture, considering many tried to take a sneak photo of him. Some even wished to trouble him to force him into a strange job, so he used the "Brainwash" skill to manipulate those people to swim on Osaka Bay so they could clear up their minds.
What if they couldn't swim?
It didn't matter, as he felt nothing about those who had troubled him.
Mizuto knew that the reason why people couldn't kill others was because of the law and education that they had received from childhood, but in the primitive era, it was natural for people to kill each other. It was like an animal who tried to rob each other's territory. If they wanted to live, it was natural for them to kill each other.
The law of nature was like this: the strong got everything.
In the modern world, this might be unacceptable, but he had the system anyway, so there wouldn't be any people who knew what he did.
Or maybe he was just trying to release his irritation on those trashes.
Still, he knew that he didn't think anything was wrong since those people must have harmed many innocent people, and their meeting with him was akin to karma for them.
Mizuto knew that his mood was kind of strange, especially after his conversation with Yume during their breakfast, but he knew that he had done the correct things. It was something that he had to do, and according to moral standards, he should have done this from the beginning. Yet, somehow, he felt like it was also wrong as it didn't fit with what he wanted to do.
Yet, he also felt strange as he could erase the trash of society like he killed a cockroach, but he was still troubled by his relationship with many women. While he wasn't sure whether it was good or not, he knew that the reason why he felt this was because he had thought of them as important in his life, and it was why he felt uncomfortable when he knew that he had hurt them.
Signing, he felt hungry, which made him helpless, thinking no matter how one felt, they still needed to eat, so he decided to eat something first as his hunger was so unbearable.
Riding his motorcycle again, he parked it at a nearby location before then searching for the most popular okonomiyaki restaurant, which was located in a hidden and difficult-to-get location in the Umeda District.
Parking his motorcycle, he walked, following the direction led by the GPS to the local neighborhood until someone called him out.
"Are you looking for something?"
Hearing a cute Osaka dialect, Mizuto turned his head and knew that his heart was so despicable as the sight of a beautiful woman could cure his troubled heart.

The warehouse is done.
What's next?
By the way, if you forget, Mizuto slept with Miyabi in chapters 67 and 68.
"Are you sure that you are not coming?" Mizuto asked in surprise.
