Vol 1 Chapter 5.3

So Thats Why Ive Decided to Become A Cheapskate Part 3

Thats right. If its Krul, wont you be able to bring in a lot of guys from the castle? If we explain the situation to them, there shouldnt be any issues in bringing off-duty soldiers and servants with free time, right?

Kagami suggested this and clapped his hands as if he had finally remembered something.

I think its impossible. Although its to prevent an all out war with the Demonsif its Father

After saying that, Krul gloomily went silent. Kagami, who somehow understood when looking at her unsettled countenance, tilted his head with a gurin and looked at Takako.

It cant be helpedEven now, we dont have any way to do it.

Takako said with a sigh, as if she had similarly understood.

The ones who had pushed for the defeat of Demons and Monsters were originally the humans of the Kingdom. Even if they were to lend their power to avoid an all out war with the Demons, if they told them about the situation, then they would probably be forced to face the war head-on and repel them.

It would be cruel to ask a favor of Krul, who had gradually begun to appreciate the relationship between Demons and humans, when she already knew the outcome.

So? What method will we use, Takako-san?

Alice asked the always dependable Takako, full of expectation.

Theres a plaza to recruit party members in Balman, right? Its fine if we look for casino employees there.

I seebut its really just Adventurers in this town, you know? I dont think we will be able to gather enough competent people to work at a casino immediately that way.

Thats not so? There are a lot of villagers in the residential area, so itll depend on their labor situation. It might be possible for such people to want to work together with the charismatic Rex-chan and Krul-chan.

After Takako said that, Rex and Krul turned away slightly, as if declining. Krul looked towards the bay window, and Rex mistakenly stared at the Kenta-Uros behind the counter.

Humans, ugh. I understand the ones who turn towards us with their looks of envy, longing to be existences with high charisma like us. However, its impossible for standard trashy playboys with golden hair like you. Give up.

So noisy.

Rex, whose presence was deemed unpleasant, once again looked at Kagamis group. Besides Krul, everyone gazed at Rex intently, and Rex let out a sigh of resignation.

I mainly recruited party members at the plaza in order to defeat the Demon King. To try to recruit people to become casino employees, who would only quit soon after, is a bit

The problem is their pride. They will be bound by that, even though it would be boring. Theyre going through great pains to forge a new path, right? Isnt it a good step towards a different path of life from now on?

Kagami shook his head left and right with a yareyare as if it was useless. Rex showed a distressed look; Krul, however, seemed perfectly fine and only showed a bitter expression, free of worry.

Whats wrong, Krul-san?

Seeing her expression, Alice raised her voice in worry.

Ima human of the royal family. If I try to recruit people to be casino employees as the head of the nation, there is a possibility that they will be disillusionedIf that happened, it would surely cause inconveniences, not to me, but to the royal family.

Alice somehow understood the problem after listening to her words. Although the issue was still pride, like with Rex, it was worrisome since it wasnt an issue of individual pride, but the pride of others. If they were blocked by this, there was a possibility of offending someone they didnt have any control over.

It cant be helped. Im plenty happy for you guy to just help me out on this.

Kagami-san.

Relieved by these words, Krul smiled.

Its fine if we let Rex do the recruitment advertising. Hell quit being a Hero and begin to work as an Idol. Hell be working together with us in the casino, so wont everyone try it out? Lets go gather people we like.

Fah!?

Although Ive just mentioned an appropriate idea, it might have been a bit too sudden. Anyhow, Rex is an ikemen and has the qualities of an idolYes, lets go with this.

W-Wait a moment Shishou! I havent had a say in this at all! A Hero becoming an idol? I havent heard of such an idiotic and unprecedented story before!

Rex hurriedly approached Kagami about his crazy idea.

Idols are great. Heroes also really look like idols. Would you rather they call you hot and sexy, or go kyaa~kyaa~? Which would you pick from as a girl; a Hero or a strong ikemen idol?

H-hot and sexy? KyaakyaaA choicebetweenthe two?

As if he had been completely brainwashed, Rex gulped at Kagamis words and looked at Krul, Tina, and Alice who were gazing at him coldly.

Speaking of idols, a characters role is important you know, what kind of setting should we use? For now, when we talk with each other, we will open ourselves with an Ehehe, while we cleverly present ourselves, we will laugh with Geebubebahaha! Kopoo! and our debut song will be The Bottomless Swamp. Lets go with this.

A darkcharacter! As expected, Rex-san is cute with that.

Tina unintentionally retorted after listening to that unclear concept of a character. However, after he had perceived the phrase, girls speak of motemote, Rex had been paralyzed with the sensation of becoming an idol and said, Idols arentbad.

After this, Menou proposed, Wouldnt it be better to work towards gathering people, instead of conversing amongst ourselves like this?, so Kagami headed towards the plaza with Rex, Alice, and Tina.
