　　Now that I know the three main obstacles stopping my blow-up doll cards business venture, all I had to do was find solutions for them. Sounds easy when I put it like this and thanks to my cheats I could afford this level of optimism. 

　　The problem about my business trespassing in the lanes of government and royal families' interests was something I needed to worry about when I had a complete product to sell. And right now my product is no way near the expectations I have for it. 

　　As for the conservative views of the world, it is not a problem if my product is good. Just take the adult toy cards for example. They were able to break social norms because people do use them and they use them because they are better than the alternative. Similarly, if my product is good then people will buy them and it is only a matter of time before they become a thing like adult toy cards. 

　　So, right now I should be focused on perfecting my product rather than worrying about the government or the royal families. Let's solve the problems right in front of me first and later when the clutter clears up a little I will have a better view of what I are dealing with here. 

　　Now that I had decided on the next course of action in the blow-up doll project, I looked at Diana and Cindy who were giving each other a stink eye, and said, "It's decided, go get me a hooker."

　　"What?" Jaya yelled in tremendous shock. 

　　Diana, Cindy, and I looked at Jaya in confusion. Feeling our stare she buried her head in her bosom while Cindy teased her saying, "Girl, don't make it too obvious." 

　　"Y-you… hooligan, what do you mean by that?" flustered Jaya enquired Cindy aggressively. 

　　"Do you really want me to spell it out?" For some reason, Cindy pointed her brows towards me as she answered Jaya with a question. 

　　"No no… don't you dare." Jaya threatened Cindy with her glare. 

　　"Girl, make up your mind. Will you? Do you want me or don't want me to explain my words from earlier?" Cindy asked Jaya playfully. 

　　"..." Jaya glared at Cindy and knowing that there is no winning with her, Jaya turned to look at her boss and asked, "Boss, why do you need a sex worker? Is it related to the pleasure card project?" Worrying that boss may take her inquiry offensively, Jaya chose her words carefully. 

　　"Yes, I want to experience how the sex workers trained by the authorities are different from my slime fairy cards. Only by doing this, I can know where my cards are lacking, and then strive to improve their shortcomings." I explained to Jaya to erase any misunderstanding but it seems my words only created a misunderstanding if there wasn't one there already. As I felt weird gazes from Diana and Cindy too. 

　　"How can you say such things.." Jaya uttered in embarrassment. 

　　"What? Then how else am I supposed to know where my cards are lacking compared to sex workers in the regulated brothels." I asked Jaya and the others that gave me a judgmental gaze. 

　　"Boss, are you sure about this?" Jaya asked me, for some reason she seemed to be embarrassed. 

　　"Yes, and why are you embarrassed? Sex workers are also people trying to earn their living, in some ways it is better than stealing and taking bribes." I responded. 

　　"But, you bringing sex workers to work, isn't it a little ambiguous, boss?" Jaya didn't want her boss to use such options when she was present right next to him but this was too fast too early in their relationship. 

　　"What is ambiguous about it? It is for research and development, I don't want to hear about it. Just get a sex worker so we can compare the real thing with the slime fairy." I ordered. 

　　"What? Boss, you never said anything about our participation.?" Cindy asked in distress, she couldn't help but think that for a virgin her boss had a big appetite to invite all three of them to an orgy with a professional in the mix. Suddenly Cindy's impression of her boss fell to the bottom. 

　　"..." Jaya was left speechless hearing her boss inviting her and her sister to an act she rather not imagine but it keeps popping up in her mind. Jaya could only shake her head chanting, 'Go away! Go away, vile evil!' 

　　"Boss, I am afraid I will end up breaking you. Maybe next time when you have some experience and don't smell of your mother's milk." Being raised in a brothel Diana had very free thoughts about sex but she hated the idea of doing it with just anybody for money. This was no longer a pleasure but work. The saying, 'find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life' didn't apply to sex workers. Because you don't get to choose your clients and the high-paying ones are mostly old fossils with one step in the grave or fat perverts who attended prom with their mom because their cousin didn't feel safe attending prom with them. 

　　As for Diana's last remark, she was looking for trouble with her boss, 'how dare he say such words to my sister?'

　　Basically, the girl's impression of their boss had turned negative. Another word from their boss and this meet my turn into a homicide. 

　　"I know this is a sensitive topic but nope, that won't do, without you guys, I will be going in blind, I need you two to tell me what I should be looking for and what are the shortcomings of the slime fairy card. Just consider this as regular R&D stuff, it will be easier to deal with the embarrassment." As the creator of the card, I will miss the finer details that a second and third pair of eyes would not, therefore I needed Diana and Cindy to help me understand what I was missing.
