Important Business Decisions (2)

"Oh, do you know if Magistrate Fenkar has any extra, unused properties inside of the city? Ones that are out of the way and rather spacious? Or are you not privy to that sort of information?"

Renna nodded her head as she replied "She has a few properties that go unused, mainly because their locations are rather poor and run down. Places from years past that have only gone into disarray. As far as I am aware, she's kept their deeds simply to sell to those who need land for cheap, but again, the location is rather terrible for each of them."

"Like... too far away from other places, in the slums, overgrown..? What kind of 'terrible' situation are they in? And can we fix that situation to make a place that people wouldn't mind walking to to have some fun?"

Humming to herself, Renna began to think over what I had just asked, so I turned back to Inik and asked "How many people usually work inside of a club? I must admit that the club I 'worked' at once had a lot of workers, but that was also because it was the most popular club in the entire city."

"That Robinkin's club? What was it, Suu's Love Nest or something like that? Yeah, don't use that as a baseline to start; the amount of money she earns each and every night is more than some Nobles can make legally. To start out though, you'll need workers as well as 'workers'.

People to remain behind the bar, to ferry food and drink to the tables, singers and dancers... those are your general workers, the ones keeping the establishment afloat and operational for your normal stuff. Those are your workers, and they usually are about a third of your entire staff, maybe up to 40%.

Your 'attractions' are the rest of your workers, and they can double as singers and dancers if you're lucky, but otherwise they'll be drinking alongside the patrons to get them liquored up and loosen their purse strings. Where your actual workers are salaried, the best thing to do with them is to give them a small base salary and split tips with them, or let them keep all their tips with no actual salary. 

Most clubs are run like that, at least the ones I frequent, and they usually do pretty well for themselves, even the ones that sell 'beer' that tastes like piss and have some of the loosest, most boring women ever lounging on creaky beds that sometimes broke beneath us. Even those ones make a good amount of money, because... well, people look down on those places, but liquor and sex are the two easiest things to sell in this entire world. Even the most unattractive woman can sell her body to someone in mere minutes..."

"Well aren't you just a wellspring of knowledge when it comes to clubs... and brothels too, if I had to make a guess?"

The Hawkkin just grinned at me and shrugged her shoulders, and while I wanted to ask her some more, Renna let out a little 'Ah' as she turned towards me, the red head grinning as she said "Oh, there is a prime spot that I KNOW Fenkar hasn't gotten rid of just yet. Normal people and even some decent mages wouldn't be able to deal with the rampant Nature Mana in the area that keeps everything overgrown and inhospitable to anything not plant shaped, but you aren't exactly normal now are you~?"

I blinked at that as I stared back into her sky blue eyes, watching her closely and holding back a smile as she realized just what she had said, resulting in her face going crimson to match her hair as she quickly sputtered "N-Not that I'm s-saying it's a bad thing or anything, but you just have..! All this..! These powers and abilities that no one else has, so you're not 'normal' but-!"

"Renna, my love, I know what you meant~! Besides, normal is rather boring, isn't it? But yes, I am understanding what you are saying; there is likely a way for me to make sure that rampant mana doesn't cause issues, which is something that most people can't do? So this would be a plot of land she would be alright getting rid of, correct?"

Her blush remained even after I tried to soothe her, so I just let it go and instead listened to her as she said "More than definitely, and again, she sells land for cheap because the idea of actually holding onto it for no real reason pains her. But the problem is those plots are decrepit and abandoned for a reason, so she just... keeps them for herself and pays the taxes just because. She's a good woman, just... a bit odd sometimes is all."

"Aren't we all~?"

Hugging Renna back, I rested my head against hers as I looked towards Inik, who was still watching us both with a small smile on her face as she took in the sight of two busty beauties loving on one another.

So of course I gave her a wink and submerged my arm between Renna's breasts, the two soft mountains consuming my limb and concealing it from view, while my hand on her waist trailed down to her plump thigh so that I could give it a squeeze.

"Astra..!"

Moaning my name softly, Renna glared at me before biting her lip as I gave her thigh another squeeze, my fingers sinking into her soft flesh and making me wish we had a moment to ourselves right about now, but instead another person joined us... actually, four people joined us, but it was a single adult and three children.

Rhefia had all three children hanging onto her shoulders and arms, the Deerkin smiling wryly as she approached us to say "I think we should get all the wine inside and start thinking about dinner... before these three run themselves to sleep and go to bed hungry."

The swift uproar of disagreement from the children brought me out of my arousal as I watched them try to swing away from her and towards me, with Aka clearly trying to make a beeline towards my breasts at the mention of being hungry.
