I am Kurt Von Ritzburg

'I have to find a substitute for the pouch.'

My sense of urgency kicked in. Now, all I could feel was the greatness of the man in front of me.

'I want to praise my past self for recruiting this man!'

If not for Glenn's business acumen, I would have lost money. No, I would have made some, but still, my concept of making a luxury brand wouldn't last long.

It was good that the mistake was caught even before the start. But the problem was that I couldn't think of an alternative at this point.

The more I pressed on, the more I couldn't find it.

"Kurt. Don't try to force it."

Observing a number of expressions in my face, Glenn called and patted my shoulders. Well, he isn't wrong. Nothing could come out forcefully.

"Sigh! Sorry, I will find an alternative. But let's talk about the other item. What are your thoughts about the sword I showed you?"

Since the subspace pouch is in pause, I need to capitalize my other plagiarized invention, the replaceable sword.

My words made a wry smile come to Glenn's face, and in response, my stomach churned.

"Seriously!"

Now, is there a problem with swords as well?!

"Well, it's not like it can't sell."

"Come out straight, Glenn. Don't try to play with words."

Glenn took a deep breath and then gave his opinion.

"There is a huge market for weapons. And this sword of yours can indeed sell well. But…"

Of course, I know that! Whether it be the modern world or the medieval world, there is no lack of people wanting war. In the modern world, the weapon manufacturing industry flourished. If played well, I could rack up countless gold coins through it.

"But?"

"But… I am sorry to say it, but I don't want to do such business."

"!!!"

What are you talking about, Glenn?! Are you abandoning the dream of becoming the richest company in the world?

As surprised as I was, I didn't show my face and asked him the reason behind it. Every man has a reason behind his actions. Glenn must have one, too.

"Why?"

"It's just that I don't want to become a death merchant, Kurt. As much as I love money, I don't want to make it by trading tools of death."

'This guy…'

Glenn Corner is more good than I initially thought. No wonder her daughter goes on to become a hero under the protagonist.

But the question remained. What should I do? Should I agree or not?

My eyes went on to his face, and I could see determination in his panda eyes.

Sigh!

"Alright. We will not sell weapons. Terminate this item."

"Really?"

"Of course. How can I lie?"

Damn! Glenn, I am making this sacrifice for you! Just for you! You better work harder to make up for it.

But death merchant…

'I have nothing to hate about this title attributed to me, but indeed, it is a bit ominous.'

Don't forget that Tony Stark had this moniker on him, though he got hit later on by his own missile.

'If I started this business, I wouldn't have died under that replaceable sword, right?'

Anyway, despite my indifference, the title would indeed affect me. Maybe my father was aware of it and didn't assist me with it.

Plus, I am not a citizen of a democratic nation. Being a member of the nobility, I better refrain from selling weapons to other nations to attack our own.

Before I could even start a business, both of my items flopped. Damn! How could the protagonist succeed with just one try?!

[A/N: Because he succeeds in one try, that's why he is the protagonist.]

'He went on to make the sword, then those combat uniforms, and even a ring for Cecily...'

"!!!"

"I got it!"

"You scared me!"

Glenn was startled at my abrupt cry. He jumped out of fear, but with his experience, he called himself.

"Oh! Sorry. But Glenn, I got it!"

"What?"

"The alternative to the pouch! And I am sure you would love it."

"Hoh… So, what is the alternative?"

"It's a ring! Won't a ring be a great alternative for pouches?"

Damn! Why didn't I think of it before? I even invented a magic that works like telepathy using examples from Wuxia novels. Isn't a storage ring normal in those novels?

"A ring…"

Listening to the alternative, Glenn sat and started to calculate in his mind with his hand on his chin. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. 

"It's indeed plausible; no, it's fantastic!"

"That's right! With rings, it will be easy to make a brand product as well."

The metal rings are made of; the embroidery and designs can all be modified to produce unique and expensive products.

This way, I can indeed make a brand new product!

'Thanks, Protagonist. If I am lost again, I will look at your life. And I know that I will get an answer.'

If I didn't resent him and think of his successes, I wouldn't be able to remember the enchanted ring the protagonist made for Cecily.

Though it's a bit sad that he won't be able to make it again.

After all, Cecily is mine. Who would he give it to then?

So, with the help of the chosen child, I was able to solve the problem and start my business.

Kurt Company, let's go!
