Chapter 88: Maintain Contact

"Sounds like it could be interesting!"

However, Main overestimated Esdeath's sense of shame, or one could say she underestimated the degree to which this Northern girl accepts new things.

Upon hearing that Broly and Akame and Kurome had done such a peculiar thing, Esdeath's interest was instantly piqued.

"Akame and Kurome as wings, Main you be the tail feather, then I'll be the head crest feather; I like being on top, being on top lets me see farther!"

Saying this, Esdeath stood up in the carriage, straddled her legs over Broly's shoulders, pressed her abdomen against the back of Broly's head, and sat astride Broly's small shoulders.

"How's that?"

She asked.

"I feel this pose is terrible."

A big girl riding on a small boy's shoulders, the scene had an indescribably grotesque feeling.

Esdeath felt the friction between the top of her head and the carriage canopy, felt that this combination pose indeed had some issues, and climbed down from Broly's shoulders.

She turned and sat behind Broly, front pressed tight against the boy's back, arms and legs embracing the boy in front.

"Then I'll be the feathers covering the back."

Esdeath said, resting her chin on Broly's shoulder.

"No, if you hug like that, where do I hug?"

Main couldn't help but ask.

"You're the tail feather, how about hugging my waist?"

"No, if I hug like that, my face will be against your butt."

Main directly vetoed it.

"Since that's the case, why don't you go to the front and hug as chest feathers? It just so happens his other shoulder is free, you can rest your head there too."

Main thought for a bit, then tried hugging Broly from the front, resting her head on the boy's other shoulder, arms and legs intertwining with Esdeath's limbs; this pose was indeed much easier than imagined to form a tail feather, but...

"Didn't I come to stop this kind of shameful act from being performed?"

Main belatedly reacted, hurriedly let go of her embrace, and also pried Esdeath, who was wrapped around Broly's back like an octopus, off him.

"I feel that truly wanting to obtain a new wing absolutely isn't enough just by demonstrating strange performance art; we need to think of a foolproof plan."

Main said.

"Then do you have any good ideas?"

Broly asked for a plan.

"Anyway, let's maintain contact for now."

Main thought for a bit and said.

"Customer, we've arrived. This is the Wanjiali Hotel; in the Outer City of the Imperial Capital, it absolutely has the best environment and service."

Leone led a group of people to a grand-looking large hotel, praising the hotel's environment and service to everyone with a sincere, confident look.

And while the reality wasn't quite as she said — this being the best hotel in the Outer City — it wasn't far off; it counted as one of the top proper inns of choice for many wealthy merchants from out of town who, upon arriving in the Imperial Capital, had not rented houses.

As for improper high-end inns, every single one was a gold cave; although Leone knew where those places were, she didn't feel a squad composed of not-very-old kids would have any need to go to that kind of place.

Leone, using the reason of being familiar with the hotel staff, stepped forward first to find the lobby manager and conduct negotiations.

A lobby manager of about thirty-plus years old, hearing the broker introduce that a wealthy customer had come, looked suspiciously at the children's carriage fleet over there, but still nodded in agreement to Leone's proposal.

"If those truly are guests staying at the hotel, you will be able to obtain five percent of their room rate as commission for this introduction."

This is the normal commission a broker introducing new guests can obtain.

"No, this Manager, you only need to give me three percent commission; the remaining two percent, half is my private kickback to you, the other half counts as you giving those guests a discount on my account — how about it?" The hotel manager stroked his chin, felt the young man before him was interesting, a clever fellow, and nodded: "If this deal goes through, in the future if you have other guests you can bring them this way; I can give you six percent commission, but one percent of that is mine."

"As it should be."

Leone and the manager finalized terms, and quickly led him to Broly, looking like she had successfully secured the lodging discount.

"I wonder, guests, what kind of rooms would you like?"

The hotel manager inquired.

"Don't pick the best, only pick the most expensive; we want the most expensive suite."

Broly spoke directly.

"Our hotel's most expensive suite costs one hundred thousand per day; may I ask if you're staying?"

The hotel manager's eyes lit up as he asked.

"Is it enough for all of us?"

Main stepped out and asked.

"If not enough, open another."

Broly added.

"It's enough; our hotel's suites are specially prepared for guests who bring close bodyguards."

The hotel manager replied seriously.

Although in private he could take kickbacks, openly he could not deceive lodging guests, thereby ruining the hotel's reputation.

【Yay~】

Leone was very excited; she originally thought the commission in hand would only be a few hundred, but now it looked like a rhythm of thousands.

Broly was even more satisfied; the continuous rise of Happiness Value on the new target, although he still couldn't completely confirm he could successfully invite her, didn't hinder him from feeling happy watching the Happiness Value rising on her — those were all his potential capital exchangeable for food on Wanpa Star.

"This is your reward!"

Broly handed over a thick handful of guide tips.

"Eh, is this too much?"

Leone looked at the thick tip, feeling a bit strange.

"We were very satisfied with the inn you introduced us to, so we gave you a little extra."

Broly explained it this way.

"Little Boss is generous, thank you, Little Boss."

Leone's eyes brightened, and she thanked him, her Happiness Value rising again.

"By the way, if you're free tomorrow, could you continue to show us around the Imperial Capital? We'll pay you a reward."

Broly asked again; this was to maintain contact.

"No problem, it's an honor to serve you, Little Boss."

Leone agreed immediately; a good opportunity to earn big money, she wouldn't let it slip by.

Leone left happily.

After Broly and the others paid and successfully checked into the inn, they had just put down their luggage in the suite when Main started a discussion meeting in the hotel suite.

However, the meeting's theme was not to discuss the squad's purpose for coming to the Imperial Capital this time, but to discuss how they, these old wings and external wife faction members, should help capture the new wings so she could become their own companion afterwards, since Broly had suddenly encountered new wings.
