“Now you want to make it even more complex. How will we even find the actors and musicians and all?” Shisui asked.
“The world is very large, brother. We just have to search a little. Otherwise, even normal people could be trained by the ti the construction of the theater or stadium is over,” Kaida replied.
“I don’t know... it’s too much workload,” Shisui said, leaning back on the sofa.
“Actually, finding the troupe for the drama is not hard. There are many nomadic troupes who occasionally perform for Daimyos and nobles. We just have to convince one of them to work for us.
"As for music and other parts, that’s also not a problem at all. If we combine this with our bathhouse structure—like separate places for nobles, rchants, and normal people—this will be another hit, way more than the bathhouse,” Hae said after so ti.
“So, can we do this?” Kaida asked.
“Sadly, no,” Hae replied.
“Why, Aunt?” Kaida asked, a little confused.
“I an not now. Even though we have a stable source of inco, the new plan you’ve proposed will beco a money sinkhole once we start construction. From chakra-hardened ground to various seals to protect the crowd, as well as barriers, and then making three separate sections for all types of audiences... and the sheer scale of the stadium!
"All of this combined will increase the construction cost so high that we may have to take another loan from the bank,” Hae explained.
“What will be the cost of construction, Mom?” Shisui asked.
“From the rough estimate, it will be around 30–45 million Ryo, depending on how much we are willing to spend.”
“What?! Will it even be worth it?” Shisui shouted in shock.
The amount was not small by any ans. The land price of 40 million could be justified because of the sheer size of the land. By just selling it back when the need arose, or when the price went up, it would be a profitable deal. But the stadium was a different thing. The building itself would be pricey, and they wouldn’t be able to recoup the investnt if the plan failed and the stadium flopped. At most, they’d be able to sell the stadium for 20 million, and even that was wishful thinking.
“Don’t worry, brother. I’m sure it will work out,” Kaida said with a small chuckle, seeing the tense expression on Shisui’s face.
“Yeah, the chances of failure are low. The lack of entertainnt sources is quite simple if you think about it. And since we are entering an untouched sector, it will be easy to establish ourselves as well,” Hae explained in a better way, easing so of Shisui’s worries.
“Aunt, it’s just 30–40 million. Can’t we take another loan from the bank?” Kaida asked.
“Sadly, no. Since we just took a loan, the next one will be given after three months. We can try other sources, but the interest rates are too high. And since there’s no hurry for it anyway, we should first establish and promote the shops. With our newly revamped shops and bathhouse combined, there’s even a chance we won’t need the loan in the first place,” Hae replied.
“It’s terrifying how we’re casually discussing such a big amount, and that too in months,” Shisui said with a sigh.
“We are rich, brother,” Kaida replied with another chuckle.
“We also have to establish staff if we’re going to expand our business so much. I was able to handle the bathhouse sohow, but with shops and the stadium in the mix, it will be difficult to maintain all of them at the sa ti.”
“Yeah, and those people should be trustworthy enough. I don’t want so spy mixed in with us,” Kaida said.
“Then let’s recruit our staff from the border villages. Those people have faced tough tis, so they will be grateful to us and will not betray us under normal circumstances,” Shisui suggested.
“Brother, you sound like so black company owner who is going to exploit poor people,” Kaida teased.
“I don’t know what this black company is, but I’m trying to help them, not exploit them,” Shisui said with a smack to Kaida’s head.
“So, if we’re planning on doing that, we have to take care of their identity passes and living areas too,” Hae said.
“It’s not difficult, Aunt. We have so much land,” Kaida said. Once again, he placed his hands on the dirt, and multistory buildings erged from the ground.
“And if this is not enough,” he continued as many more buildings erged one after another.
“Good. Now you even want to deal in real estate as well. Do you know how much paperwork we’ll have to do for this?” Shisui asked.
“Brother, you’re forgetting one important thing,” Kaida said.
“What?”
“We are rich now, and rich people don’t do paperwork—they employ people to do that,” Kaida replied.
“Good. I really don’t want to handle all of that,” Hae said, knowing she’d be the one responsible for the paperwork if it ca down to it.
“Then let’s finalize this plan. For the next 3–4 months, we’ll focus on shops and try to get all the necessary permissions for the stadium. After collecting the necessary funds, we’ll start the construction of the stadium, right?” Kaida said.
“Yes. Now clean this ss you’ve made; it’s almost dinner ti,” Hae said, pointing toward the dirt spread across the hall.
“Okay, Aunt,” Kaida replied and started cleaning up.
“I’m back!” Yomi announced as she entered the house, only to find Kaida sweeping the floor.
“What happened?” she asked, noticing the condition of the hall.
“We were discussing so business, and I used Earth Style to show so models. Now I’m cleaning it,” Kaida explained.
“Good. I’m going to give Kenta his mattress then,” Yomi said as she cald down and headed toward the backyard.
“Are you not going to help ?” Kaida asked.
“I know you’ll do just fine by yourself. I trust you completely,” Yomi shouted as she left for the backyard.
“Tch, such a great girlfriend I have,” Kaida muttered as he continued cleaning.
Later, Kaida went outside, only to find Kenta sleeping on a comfy-looking brown mattress with Naruto sleeping on top of him, while Yomi cleaned his fur.
“You guys are really enjoying yourselves while I’m working, huh?”
“Guah,” the bear sohow gave a happy smile to Kaida.
“The food is ready. Shisui, take Kenta’s portion outside,” Hae shouted from the kitchen.
“Guah,” Kenta suddenly sat upright upon hearing about the food. With his sharp senses, he had already been savoring the aroma for a while.
As he sat up, Naruto started to fall off. Kaida was about to catch him, but Kenta, being closer, caught him easily.
“Hehehe, that was fun,” Naruto said.
“This boy…” Yomi sighed.
“Kenta, here’s your food,” Shisui said, bringing out a big tray full of at and rice.
“You guys co inside too,” Shisui added as he started walking back, followed by the others, who once again enjoyed Hae’s delicious cooking.
