A Diffrent Kind Of Story - Buisnesse

After showing her capability of beating the second princess of the Afterglow Savanna in chess to her new acquaintance, they proceed to show them how things are with her and the Octavinelle trio.

A Different Kind of Story Chapter 3

"You have quite some sass, don't you?" the vice of Octavinelle said, very amused.

"I mean, why not. Just because she's royalty doesn't mean she shouldn't know how to take criticism, right?"

'Criticisms'. A kind way of phrasing it. It was obvious that it wasn't a question., yet it got an annoyed huff out of Leona.

"Would you like to continue, Leona-senpai? Or would you like to go back to your dorm and take a nap?" the brunette smiled innocently.

"Shut up, herbivore. Don't tell me what to do. Just continue," he said as he dismissed the girl with a swift hand motion.

The reflection of them began to go hazy again.

The next thing that was seen in the mirror was Yuko and Grim, seated in one of the chairs of Mostro Lounge. The restaurant was filled with many other guests, who chattered without a care in the world. Besides the chattering of the students, quiet and relaxing jazz music could be heard.

Yuko and Grim just finished their dishes and talked about this and that. Grim mostly complained about the other first-years of their little group, with Yuko just listening. The two haven't left yet, since Azul wanted to meet them for something.

"Hello, Koebi-chan~" Yuko looked up to see two mismatched, droopy eyes and a lazy grin.

"Hello, Floyd-chan. How yo-" The seconde-year suddenly lanched her arms around them and squeezed her. They let out a choking sound for suddenly getting the air squeezed out of her lungs.

"F-Floyd, please let me go. I-I can not breath", the younger one choked out. As predicted, she didn't listen. The Ramshackle Prefect, still struggling, tried to free herself while their upperclassmen just laughed. Even Grim complained. That got some heads to turn.

"Floyd, please let her go," a gentle voice said. Floyd let out a quiet. disappointed 'Aww' before, finally, letting go. "Good. Now apologies to Yuko-san."

"But Jade-"

"No buts. We do not squeeze any of our guests. No matter how close we are to them", the calmer twin scolded. The second twin turned around to face Yuko again and apologized before getting sent off to the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, Yuko-san. You know how easily carried away my sister can get."

Yuko just waved it off, saying that it was nothing. And if considered how bad Floyd's mood can get, it was. Jade, as always, smiled politely.

"Anyways. I was sent here to show you the way to Azul. I suppose you two have some kind of business to discuss."

"Ah. Thank you, Jade. Are you coming, Grim?" Still angry about what happened, the feline jumped onto the prefect's arm so they can get going.

By now, Jade, Yuko and Grim were standing in front of Azul's office's door. Jade then knocked on the door, asking for entry. From the other side of the door was a 'come in' audible. Jade opened the door for Yuko and Grim to enter, then closing it again so they could talk in private.

"Hello, Yuko. I'm glad to see you here again." The dorm leader got up from her office chair to greet her guests.

"I'm also delighted. Especially since we can talk without any... unusual circumstances," Yuko said as the two of them, awkwardly, shook hands. Azul quickly cleared her throat before offering Yuko a seat. They took the offer and gently placed their companion on their lap.

"So. What did you want to talk about?"

The other took a seat as well, opposite of Yuko. "Don't worry. I don't want to make a deal with you if that's what you thought. I already learned that I can't fool you to sign one." The dorm manager took one of the snacks that were on the little table in the office.

"So you admit that all of your deals are a scam? Or am I misinterpreted that?" The younger one also took one of the snacks as a dessert.

"I never said that. But sometimes, if my clients are foolish enough, or other reasons, I may bend the contract in my favour."

"So all of this 'being professional' is also nothing but talk if things like that happen here."

That certainly struck a nerve in Azul. Now the fun can begin.

"So your saying I can't be professional? Hah, you have a silver tongue, I give you that," the octopus said amused, as she took a bite from the snack in her hand.

"Never said that. I learn more and more about this school."

"Such as?"

Bingo. "Why would I tell you? It certainly would be good fuel for our little talk, but there is also plenty of other stuff to talk about."

A little 'tsk' escaped Azul's lips. "So that's where this is going. Is there at least anything of value that you 'learned'?"

"What do you consider of being 'of value'? Maybe then we'll get somewhere."

Azul put her hand under her chin in thought. "Well, some secrets or things of that sort would be of use, I suppose." Yuko, who was petting Grim (already asleep again), reached for another treat, curious where this is heading.

"You are a scammy one, aren't you? Even though, I expected nothing else if I'm honest. To refresh your memory, I am very close to the headmistress and other dorm leaders, right?"

"My, my, you're right. So I suspect there are something I could use for... 'businesses'. What would you like for that kind of information?"

Yuko hummed in the thought. "Well, I do require some money for the interior of my dorm. It would also be of use if you'd have some favours to pay back. So how about this." They pulled out a piece of paper, wrote a sum of madol and slid it towards Azul. "I offer you some information. In return, you give me money and some favours. How does that sound?"

The businesswoman eyed to piece of paper, considering the deal. "Are the twins also involved in the 'favours' I'd own you? And how many are we even talking about?"

That got Yuko thinking. Azul was mostly the brain of the group, while the tweels did all of the hard work. It would allow more options if they're in the deal. "Mmh, since you three are often together, it would be best if they are involved in our little deal. About the favours, how about 4?"

"I actually couldn't care less if these two play a role here. It would mostly affect me anyway," the other thought out loud. "But only 2 favours."

"3 favours."

"Deal" The head of Octavinelle snaped once, and a golden contract appeared out of thin air. She then laid the piece of parchment on the table, in front of Yuko, waiting for it to be signed. "Just sign here the matter is sealed."

And Yuko happily obeyed. Azul smiled contented after it was signed gracefully.

"Then this is finished. I'll hand one of the twins the things you want to know." Yuko got up, taking Grim in their arms before bowing. "It was nice to make business with you. Until next time," she said as they left the room.

"Little question", Riddle chirped head in hands. "Did you just promised Azul to tell secrets from others? Others who have an actual influence on the student body? Just for some money and three favours?!"

Yuko chuckled slightly, Azul glaring at him, clearly offended. He knew what others thought of his schemes, but he still liked to play the victim.

"Let's just say it would've been of use for her to clarify what kind of secrets."

Riddle looked up, who did not expect this kind of answer.

"In other words; You scammed the scammer."

"Haha, you could say that. In the end, I just gave information that wouldn't be of great use. Yet, she was not able to say that I cheated since I just promised her some secrets, but not what kind of secrets," the girl revealed with a small, devilish grin.

"Moving on to Scarabia, shall we?"
