    045

    – See you in a week. Let’s play a little more gracefully then.

    With those words, Yellow issued a unilateral order to congratulate me.

    I wanted to hold on, but… . It’s already late. Yakuza leader has always had a busy job.

    I trudge… . walked outside. Without stopping by anywhere, I went straight to the high-speed train and returned to Korea.

    On the way back, I stumbled in great pain. The reason was quickly found. It was because the phenomenon of magic addiction suddenly arose.

    ‘Damn… . I thought I would never experience anything like that in my life. ‘I can’t believe that unpleasant magic seeped into my body.’

    When you become addicted to magic, three symptoms appear. First, you must suffer from a parching thirst.

    No matter how much water I drink, my sore throat never gets better; in fact, it gets worse.

    The next symptom is insomnia. I can’t sleep comfortably until I consume magical power.

    And finally… . A headache that feels like it’s pressing on my skull comes over me. This causes the victims to hit their heads like crazy, trying to escape the pain.

    These headaches, unlike other symptoms, additionally cause the patient’s judgment to become very blurred.

    People who would not commit suicide commit suicide or do strange things, such as killing someone over something trivial.

    ‘That’s a good thing. If I were an ordinary person, I would have gone crazy by now.’

    In my case, thanks to the rapid circulation of magical energy, I was less prone to magic addiction.

    But even so, the headache that felt like hitting my head with an ax still remained and tormented me.

    ‘shit… .’

    If your head hurts from the beginning, it may get better. However, the pain gets better and then comes back again, and it’s driving me crazy.

    ‘The magic must regenerate quickly.’

    This phenomenon will be completely erased when the demonic energy regenerates and drives out all the magical power.

    So I turned on my phone to quickly create Maggi.

    ‘The conditions for the regeneration of Magi are stress-free physical condition and nutrition. The latter has been fully satisfied, so we just need to focus on the former.’

    Stress, which is said to be a cause of all diseases, prevents the regeneration of demonic energy.

    So people in the empire always created their own routines to relieve stress.

    ‘In my case… .’

    A bank account appeared on the turned-on cell phone screen. It was a very generous amount, unlike before, when it was meager.

    ‘It’s about spending money. Okay, with this amount of money, I can buy everything I want.’

    This was the reason why the Isius of this world was a noble nobleman without a single penny.

    Isius, who was soft, small, and weak, had no money, so he indulged in luxuries, but never did any work.

    So what on earth are you planning on getting revenge on?

    … Of course, after I got used to my body, I was like this too.

    “Whoa… this is what I’m going to buy this time!”

    This time, I would like to try something different and extravagant. It is a luxury that is more valuable and productive than simply buying luxury goods.

    A genius person in the Netherlands created it to receive stable business investment, and it is an economical system that allows even the most foolish people to make a lot of money if they do it well.

    The name of that miraculous flow is the so-called ‘stock’.

    ‘I don’t know why I didn’t get this now.’

    Money rots when it sits for a while, and becomes fresh when you let it flow.

    Fresh money increases in size more quickly and brings enormous wealth to its owner.

    And stocks are a tool that allows fresh money to roll like a snowball!

    The book Green forced me to read the other day had this phrase written on it:

    ‘Humans are really smart. How could you devise a system like this? The people of the empire are like stupid pigs compared to these guys.’

    Even the poorest people can achieve enormous wealth! Fairly, too!

    It is a cycle that cannot be understood in an aristocratic empire. Giving commoners a chance to live like nobles… !

    ‘Is this democracy or something? indeed… .’

    If His Majesty is resurrected, it would be a good idea to introduce this staple food to the empire.

    With energetic thoughts about the future, I opened the stock app.

    ‘Register an account… . done! Now all we have to do is get started.’

    It has been a long time since I learned information about stocks. The system is so easy that you only need to read one book.

    If it turns blue, it goes down, and if it turns red, it goes up. All you have to do is sell stocks that are low in price when they are high.

    ‘In other words, you can buy undervalued stocks.’

    Undervalued stocks are stocks with low prices that are likely to rise in the future.

    Buy stocks of companies with high growth potential and sell them when they rise.

    ‘It’s easy to find undervalued stocks. ‘If you’re as good as me, you can just tilt it a little.’

    If you take a quick look at the stock charts, you can easily find stocks that are somewhat undervalued.

    [Ju Griveina]

    hmm… . Is this a company that sells magical girl related goods? It’s a bit like that. However, it seems likely that it will grow someday.

    ‘Let’s go all in on stocks here.’

    Unusually, he decided to put all his assets in one place.

    The advice not to put all your eggs in one basket suddenly crosses my mind.

    But that’s something only cowards consider. Real business people try to make money by taking on risks.

    ‘Well, if you lose a little, you can just ask Green.’

    There may be losses. But that can be made up for by Green’s wallet.

    So I bought all the stocks of this Greenvania company.

    Well, good! Now, I feel proud to think that I can engage in economic activities in this way instead of wasting money away pointlessly.

    “If we open tomorrow, we’ll be rich, right?”

    With that expectation in mind, I pressed my temples and tried to suppress the headache.

    … Come to think of it, I think there was one more side effect to the headaches caused by magic addiction.

    ***

    Isaac Newton, who discovered gravity, said this:

    I can calculate the movements of celestial bodies, but human madness is impossible.

    The reason he said this was because he invested all his money in stocks and lost it all.

    [Deposit amount: 445 won]

    And here, there was another person overcome by human madness.

    “Uh…?”

    The only survivor of a family that was given the title of ‘Insanity’ for its maniacal fighting ability and ability to create Hetairoi.

    ‘Mad Isius’ was dumbfounded by the cute amount engraved on his account.

    This shouldn’t happen… ? Isius, who had witnessed true madness, looked up at Green.

    “What, did you lose all the money I gave you?”

    Green was truly dumbfounded.

    It will take a bit long to explain why.

    Isius entered the house in a triumphant manner, raised his cute face proudly, and cheekily said, ‘I don’t need your pocket money anymore!’

    So I was wondering something. After raping her for pleasure, I left her alone and her complexion started to turn blue.

    Soon, Isius, whose face looked as if his soul had been drained, looked at himself with an almost tearful expression.

    Because of the change in attitude as if I was watching a play, it was so absurd.

    “I haven’t sold it yet…! If you don’t sell it, you don’t lose it!”

    “What nonsense? We’re on the verge of delisting.”

    “Oh, no! It will rebound soon! This is all a prank by the operational forces…!”

    Green stood still and watched this situation quietly.

    … Were you always this stupid? Isius the Mad was famous as the empire’s greatest strategist. The Hetairoi deployed in the right places were able to repel the Allied forces several times.

    But now that smart man… . You’re doing something quite stupid.

    ‘Ugh… .’

    As I look at Isius, who is just looking at the cell phone screen with a pale complexion, a sigh escapes me.

    Should I hit him with a honey chestnut to make him come to his senses? No, that’s a waste too… .

    “Yeah, right…! There’s still a chance. Just get in the water a little more!”

    “Hey, stop that now. I’ll give you pocket money. Use this as a lesson….”

    “Well, Green! Just give me 500 million! And I’ll pay you back twice!”

    500 million won was not a lot of money to Green. That’s a lot of money you can’t earn in just one hour.

    However, it felt like a waste to do it like that.

    ‘…Hmm, no, no.’

    The moment I picked up my phone and resignedly thought, “I still love you, so I have to give it to you.”

    Suddenly a good thought passed through her mind.

    “Hmm, hmm.”

    Green grinned and looked at Isius, who looked nervous.

    A strange shape catches my eye today. His big black eyes were cloudy, as if he had taken medicine.

    ‘…If you’re that stupid, you can do whatever you want, right?’

    After coming to that conclusion, she placed her hand on Isius’ shoulder. He jumped down the castle and was overcome by an overwhelming grip and sat down again.

    “Si-yul. Do you want to borrow money from your sister?”

    “Uh, yes! Lend me it! I’ll definitely pay you back later!”

    “Then… Hmm, I guess I should do something for my sister. It’s a bit much to do it for free, right?”

    “…Okay, okay! I’ll do anything!”

    “Then will you wear this?”

    Green stretched out his hand and opened subspace. I took out green clothes from the open space and threw them next to Isius.

    “If you wear this and have sex with my sister, I’ll give you money.”

    It was a cosplay suit.
