　　"Jaya, I appreciate your opinion. Cindy and Diana, I think she has earned the right to speak in the meeting, what do you guys think?" A good leader has to reward subordinates who show initiative. Right now that was what I am supposed to be.

　　"Jaya well said. Boss, I agree with your decision." Cindy spoke in support of her boss's words. Yet she couldn't help but glare at Diana, she knew what was going on in here, Diana was slowly trying to plant the idea that Jaya would be a good addition to the pleasure card project. Cindy didn't mind her friend and mentor trying to look out for her sister, but she hated the fact that she was trying to dig in her cake. Boss brought the pleasure card project to her, this was supposed to be her opportunity to climb up the social ladder, yet Diana was trying to cut her sister in her project. This was not cool. Despite her dissatisfaction, Cindy chose to calmly complement Jaya and support her boss's decision as things weren't set in stone yet. 

　　"Still, boss, she did defy direct orders. It would not be right to reward such behavior. It will set a bad precedent." Though Diana was happy with Jaya's action she could not blatantly show her intentions, so chose to appear strict and unforgiving.

　　"Good, then I will leave her punishment to you. Now, I want you guys to help me understand why the Royal families and the government will ban my cards? I have seen the guild association mall selling adult toy cards. How come they haven't banned those cards?" Leaving Jaya's punishment to Diana, I asked why the Royal families and government would specifically ban my card when there are so many adult toy cards being sold and easily available to the younger generation. Out of the three points made by the trio, I was having a hard time trying to comprehend this one. 

　　1. The Slime fairy showed no reaction whatsoever, it was slime in general, what did you expect?

　　2. It was a monster. Who in their right mind would be willing to buy a card that would let the world know that they were a deviant who wouldn't hesitate to do it with a monster.

　　3. Government and Royal families implementing a ban on these cards because it is a bad influence on the younger generation. A 16-year-old would be considered a legal adult but not legal enough to enter a brothel, they need to be at least 21 years old to enter or work in a brothel. Which meant everyone from 16 to 21 years old would buy my cards since their options are limited.

　　I understand what Cindy meant by most men would prefer to receive a satisfying response or little reaction or at least a little interaction or little emotional connection when they engaged in sexual intercourse with their partner, which they cannot expect from the slime fairy but can easily get from the sex workers in the brothel. 

　　Not to mention the price of the cards looks steep compared to visiting a brothel. In a short period, the brothel will indeed be cheaper but over the course of a year, buying my pleasure cards would be cheaper compared to regularly visiting a brothel. 

　　My cards were basically like masturbation, it felt good while using them but afterward you can't help but judge yourself. Not to mention it could not provide the feeling one would get while being complimented by your partner, 'Ah, babe, you were so good.' Hearing these words from your partner at the end of the deed was priceless. These words at that moment feel so motivating and empowering, that some would even compare it to a second orgasm. 

　　As for the second problem pointed out by Jaya, my cards in essence were a monster summons, no respected adult would be willing to jeopardize their reputation in society by buying these cards. These two points were enough to tell me that in the end, my card would sell but they would not be a hit like I expected them to be. Diana's words made sense.

　　But what I didn't understand is why the hell would the government and the royal families would ban my card when there are so many adult toy cards on the market. And what the hell kind of rule is this, that a 16-year-old would be considered a legal adult but not legal enough to enter a brothel, one needs to be at least 21-years-old to enter a brothel. When a 16-year-old can buy cards that are capable of mass killing or even a massacre, why weren't they allowed to enter the brothel but have to wait until they are 21-years-old? What the hell kind of rule is this?

　　"Boss, are you comparing this to adult toy cards?" Diana asked me while pointing to the slime fairy. 

　　"..." I gave Diana a blank stare. Granted Slime fairy is more than just an adult toy card. The Conservative side of the world will indeed find it hard to swallow the fact that horny teenagers are humping slime monsters. But still, sigh.

　　"Boss, if you think about it, there is no way we can try and sell these cards in the open market. Various factions in society will find it blasphemous. These cards are far from mere adult toy cards. There is a market for them, maybe with time, people may change their opinion about these cards. At first when the adult cards were introduced they too had to face a strong rejection. Now you can see them being sold everywhere. If we do this we can't expect a quick hit, we will have to be in for a long haul. Maybe someday people will come around to the idea that this is not blasphemy, just regular humping." Diana advised me to not expect these cards to become a quick hit in the market. 

　　"And boss, the real reason why the royal family and the government will try to ban your cards is that these cards have the potential to harm their interest."
