Bribing

We entered Azazel's mansion, dude already felt Ereshkigal's divine power and he's sweating bullets.

I must point out that this is just the amount her body can take at the moment. So in short he knows he's in a pinch.

We got into the living room full of trash, research papers and pizza boxes, Azazel just burned the garbage to dust and offered us a seat before sitting down himself.

"Sorry, I didn't expect to have such visitors" His laid back personality is completely gone.

"It's not important Azazel, we just arrived as well although I can't help but question your choice of residency, name is Fujimaru Ritsuka." I say.

"Haha like you said hiding in plain sight, now how can I help?"

"I want to make a trade" I say as I take out my mystic code at this point looking like Ultimatrix but blue instead of green and it has bunch of microscopic runes etched into it.

"Please continue..." Seeing it Azazel's eyes got drawn into it.

"I want to complete this but I need your Artificial Sacred Gear research, I am willing to share my research with you in return" After I said this Azazel took the mystic code into his hands and started inspecting it for a few minutes.

I can probably get everything done with my new and shiny eyes but in a weird way I am both lazy and don't want to take the easiest way out.

It's a curse to not have anything to do.

"So it's going to be connected into virtually an infinite data base and it's going to take files from this base to itself on the fly and rewrite it's user with that data... What are you doing with this, if you were to put a soul of some strong creature in it and fire it up as long as mental barriers won't crumble even the most useless person can beat someone strong"

Azazel can't even believe what he's saying, imagine using this with the data of heavenly dragons, you'd get their full power right off the bat unlike Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing.

I am pretty sure God made them limited on purpose but whatever.

"Well, it's been a pet project I honestly don't need such stuff anymore but I really want to finish it since I have nothing better to do."

I really don't need it anymore since I am strong as a servant myself and my class cards are covering my weaknesses good enough but then again, if I have nothing to do I would go crazy.

"All right, come here in two days I will be moving my main laboratory here, what are you going to do at the time?" Man all of his fears melted but still don't comment on anything sensitive, good.

"I am going to open a little shop in Kuoh that's selling mildly cursed items, like chest wax that gets rid of your chest hair for a year but it also makes your nipples hard during that time" I say as Azazel loses the light in his eyes.

"Why?" He says his voice turning hollow.

"Why not?" I gave the best answer I can think of and get up so we can leave the mansion I of course took my mystic code with me while leaving can't leave that behind.

"Fine then I will come to your shop, let's hope I won't regret this"

"That went well but it's a shame that you scared him Ereshkigal" I say as we leave Governor's house behind us.

"Well, I didn't like those crows" Eresh replies.

"It doesn't matter in the end, let's go find ourselves a small shop" I say with a smile I didn't have such a good idea in years.

"Are you really going to do that?" Kaguya asks.

"Of course it's been a while since I trolled anyone I kinda missed it" I can already see people buying and I am going to warn them beforehand so they can't blame me later.

"What are you talking about?" Eresh comes out of left field.

"Ahh I didn't show you guys my sentient coffee beans, you two are going to love them!" Now I remember that they didn't see my little ones it's time for them to meet.

They were horrified by the beans, my beans are sad, some of them even went into depression I had to drink them before they committed suicide or at least try to do it.

"Welcome to "Mildly Curses Items" Please look at my wares Governor." I call out to Azazel as he comes in my shop.

"Chest wax that makes your nipples hard, Ring of invisibility with unavoidable smell, sunglasses that increases your hearing by taking your sight, ear plugs that does the reverse, clothing that doesn't show up on reflections, a pencil that writes in perfect grammar but leaves one mistake every time... I really hoped that you were joking" Azazel comments as he inspects my wares.

"I already ran out of wax it's ridiculous how popular they got." Like really?

"I don't even want to know what they used it for and why are you selling magic items to the normal humans like they are candy?"

"Well I don't want to know what they used it for neither and all of my items comes with a mental magic enchantment that makes people stop asking unwanted questions, so we're going to your laboratory?" I say as I take out my store uniform.

The fact that I opened this place in two days is commendable, I worked hard Todoroki would be proud if he saw me furnishing a store in two days.

"Yes and it's our laboratory now that you're joining in but who's going to look after your store?" Azazel asks since my wives are nowhere to be seen.

They actually went to Italy to start building the company. Let's hope they won't cause too much trouble since I am genuinely worried about the guy that's going to trouble them.

Scratch that let's hope they ran into Diodora, I want to see him get tortured by Ereshkigal.

"I will leave a clone" I say while creating a shadow clone, getting chakra was the right choice.

"A clone? Interesting technique was that senjutsu?" Azazel says with genuine interest, I bet he'd be begging me if he learned he can get the experience back from the clones.

"It's close to senjutsu but without the whole getting corrupted deal, it has some short comings but it's good enough to leave him alone at the store" I say as I use one of the signature moves of Naruto for something small like this.

"That's mean boss, what am I going to do here alone?" My clone replies clearly offended.

"Watch TV, make more clones to play cards or whatever I don't care" Like he's me why can't he understand my point.

"He has his own sentience!?"

"Well, why not I honestly didn't question it when I learned this technique, anyway let's go"

"Fine let's go" A teleportation circle flares up under Azazel's feet and we're gone.

The Laboratory was awesome I quickly connected Cortana and had her revamp the whole system.

Azazel was happy to learn I closed security flaws he didn't even know existed. Well mostly because they were planted by the people who wants to betray him but whatever.

We did a deep scan of my work while I ran through the data I am getting from Azazel's research.

This guy is a genius, Cortana already upgraded herself twice with this and once we're done with this and finish the job she can upload herself to the Mystic Code.

She's going to be like Kaleidosticks but she has the option to upgrade herself constantly since her soul is actually tied to me and virtually has no possibility of betraying me.

So this thing is going to end up more powerful than I ever imagined, I was already stretching the limits with full access to Throne of Heroes and more overwrite functions than regular class cards but if this turns out I might be able to summon servants using this.

It maybe added as it's counter balance mode. {It's the balance breaker of artificial sacred gears}

"This is brilliant this is going to cut me years of work down the road and I can even stabilize my Downfall dragon spear so it doesn't break after use" Azazel's laughing like the mad scientist he is.

"Congrats?"

"Thank you and your artifact ohh sweet dad it has so many features and ideas I never even thought of who would have thought using magic computing like that!"

This is the difference between me and other researchers I don't put myself into it too much since I know I am going to lose whatever sanity I have left.

"Well alright calm your horses we haven't even began and you still have duties as the leader of your people"

"Aww but I don't wanna!" What are you a child?

"Don't blame me when your man burst in an take you by force" I say as I start building the experimental logic board.
