"Do you travel much, Mary? You're always welcome at my home in Japan after I finish these last two challenges. Speaking of that: how did Yukata convince you to help him with this?" You asking her.
"Well, Yukata along with another person came to my mansion. Yukata' telling me that you had broken the... promise... I was furious and it hurt my pride..." Mary said.
"I'm sorry about it... By the way... What is the name of Yukata's comrade?" You asked her.
"I think he was called... Tachibana..." Mary answered.


What will you do?

>>22677544
"Ah. I've been hearing that name come up recently. He's bad news, Mary, and I strongly recommend cutting all ties with him.
"But on to better subjects. Do you like any games?"

Converse to see if she has any hobbies.

"Ah. I've been hearing that name come up recently. He's bad news, Mary, and I strongly recommend cutting all ties with him. But on to better subjects. Do you like any games?" You asked her.
"Well... I like to play Duel Monster and I want to take pride in my dueling skill!." Mary said as she showing her deck to you while she is boasting about her card skills.

After about hour of conversation, it seems that it is time for Mary to leave. Her butler Alfred are already getting for the car while you are waited with Mary at near the hotel entrance. It seems that Mary started to look more relaxed after she had conversation with you.


What will you do before Mary leave?

>>22678389
Give Mary our contact information; I assume that we have it on a business card, considering our position.
Tell her that she can contact us at anytime, though we'll likely be traveling for a bit longer.
And that once we return to Japan, that we hope that Mary will accept our invitation to our estate for tea.

Then we've got defense companies and industrial congolmerates to buy stock in, a corporate empire to oversee, and a guy in Germany we have to defeat.

>>22678685

You given her the contact information and say, "I'm gonna travel to Germany tomorrow and it will be likely that I will traveling little bit longer. You can contact me anytime." You said.
"Yes..." Mary said as the car finally arrived.

Before she enter the car, she giving you a hug. You watched at her until you can no longer see her. You had planned to buy some new stocks at Germany as well you fight against Gustav the modern knight of Germany.


Tomorrow you will start traveling to Germany. Will you do something before the travel?

>>22678841
Contact our holdings, see how our corporate portfolio and holdings are doing.
Any companies we directly control, or is our wealth from a holding company?

While we're in England, we can see about purchasing stock in EADS, as well as shares back home in the Howa Machinery Company and their different divisions.
Also, is this before or after the Fukushima disaster? If after, then we should be able to buy up Tokyo Electric Power Company stock at bargain prices.

Any players have an objection to buying up industrial and utility company stocks? Should we go for services, consumer electronics, and biotech firms instead?

>>22679031

>It is after the Fukushima disaster.

You start checking through the stocks to see if you can buy any more stocks. You had bought some stocks and the stocks from Tokyo Electric Power Company.


> Roll 2d6 to see if you could increase your wealth.

Rolled 3, 2 = 5

>>22679191
Come on, economic wizardry!

Rolled 4, 1 = 5

>>22679191
Let's try for a better roll.

>No increase of wealth.

After had bought some stocks, you don't see any great change on the price yet. You remember that your dad usually do with some stocking and he always tell you that investing in stocks is simple about picking the right one and being patients.

Next day you and everyone took the plane to Berlin in Germany. While being in the plane, you are sitting on your chair along with your friend Koutarou.

What will you do in the plane?
A: Talk with somebody.
B: Make sure that Genki are not outside the plane again...
C: Make phone call to somebody.
D: Something else.

>>22679467
>A: Talk with somebody.
Talk with Akari. Can she tell our fortune?

File: 1358624427915.jpg-(1020 KB, 2592x1944, airport_berlin_tempelhof_(...).jpg)

>>22679606

You move away from your sit and heading to where Akari is sitting. You finally reached her and she is sitting beside Sasha.

"Akari, I wondering if you could tell our fortune?" You asked her.
"Even since you got the challenge from Yutaka, I have difficult to get clear fortune. But I will try..." Akari said and then she closed her eyes.

Akari focus deeply and then she opening here eyes. "I could see a proud horse and a old chinese man.... That is all I could see." Akari said.
"Thank you a...?!" You said until you got the WTF moment when you see Genki who are hanging on the airplane wing again...


Much later, you finally arrived at the Berlin Airport, what will you do?

>>22679833
Tell Genki that he's supposed to be INSIDE the plane, not outside of it.

Have arrangements made to buy up stock in ThyssenKrupp and Rheinmetall.
Then send a message to Gustav that we have arrived in Berlin and await his reply for the time, place, and nature of the challenge.

In the meantime, go to our hotel, and begin reviewing the information that Spy has been able to acquire about Gustav.

File: 1358626045103.jpg-(255 KB, 1000x1029, berlin-hotels-17.jpg)

>>22679918

You start telling Genki that he supposed to be INSIDE the plane, not outside of it.

You had send the message to Gustav about your arrival. You are thinking about buying the stock but you must wait until you get a room in hotel.

You took a taxi bus and heading to one of the hotel along with your servants and friends. While being at hotel, you make a call to Spy while you checking through the stocks.

"Hello! How was the trip monsieur?" Spy answered the phone.
"Hello spy! The trip was good. Did you get any info about Gustav von Koniz?" You asked through phone.
"Yes! It seems that his family belong to long line of knights. He is currently the head of the family and also it seems that he was a popular singer for 20 years ago until he decided to retired himself." Spy answered.


Any other questions to Spy?

>>22680124
"Any information regarding his personality or his hobbies?
"What's the hold that Yukata has over him? What's his motivation for this fight?"

>>22680170

"Any information regarding his personality or his hobbies?
"He seems to e pretty jolly man who have great interesting on singing." Spy answered.
"What's the hold that Yukata has over him? What's his motivation for this fight?"
"Sorry, I couldn't find information about that. I will continue gather more intelligence." Spy said and then you ended the call.

You put away your cellphone and looking at your notebook computer until somebody knocking on the door. Then you hear manly voice through the door.
"Excuse me herrn, you got a message."


What will you do?
A: Open the door.
B: Be careful, it could be assassin...
C: Just ignore him.
D: Something else.

>>22680354
B.
Check through the peephole to see who it is.

File: 1358628118527.jpg-(250 KB, 354x672, sacha-baron-cohen-is-jewi(...).jpg)

>>22680411

You looking through the peephole and you see the messenger with his.... "special" outfit. You don't think that he is dangerous... No wait the second.. he could be dangerous in different way...

He still waiting for outside and he started to looking on his hand mirror.


Will you open the door anyway or you rather to be in safe side?

>>22680517
Stay on this side.
We like our privacy, after all.

>>22680616

"Just leave the message in front of the door."
"Sigh.... Yes herrn..." The messenger said with disappointing look. He lift the telegraph message in front of your door and left.

After you waiting for a while, you carefully open the door and snatch the paper from the floor. You started reading your message. It seems that you got message from Gustav von Koniz, it is written that if you want to challenge him, you will need to get your own warhorse. And also he want you to visit his castle for friendly chat before you challenge him.


What will you do now?

>>22680853
A warhorse? Ugh. He probably wants a good old-fashioned medieval tournament joust.

Arrange for that chat sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Ask Sasha and Katherine if they can accompany us for the visit.

Also, ask our maids and butler if they know anything about horses. Maybe this will be a good opportunity for Araki to see what causes Genki to turn into June.

File: 1358630729877.jpg-(27 KB, 500x312, derp.jpg)

>>22680932

You send the reply to Gustav that you will visit him at tomorrow afternoon. Then you visit Sasha and Katherine to see if they like to accompany you.
"I'm gonna visit Gustav von Koniz tomorrow and I'm wondering if you can accompany me."
"It will be my pleasure master!" Sasha said with smile.
Katherine took a large smoke and scratching behind her neck.
"I have nothing else to do... So I don't mind to follow you along..." Katherine said as she looking away from you with slight of nervous look.
"By the way... Do you know anything about horse?" You asked them.
"I had riding them few times but sadly I don't know where to find good horse..." Sasha answer.
"Don't look at me! I know so little about horse." Katherine answer.

You keep on asking around about the horses until you come to the last person... Genki...

A: Don't bother to ask Genki about horse...
B: Ask him anyway.
C: Something else.

>>22681167
Ask anyway.
And ask Akari if she can feed Genki different food samples to track down what causes his transformations.

>>22681223

You are standing in front of Genki and you decided to anyway ask him about the horse.
"Genki... Do you know anything about horse?"
"You mean Equus ferus caballus?" Genki asked you.
"Uhmm... yes... Do you know any about warhorse?" You asked him as you look pretty surprise by his knowledge.
"Warhorse? Sure! What kind of warhorse do you need to know? Lightweight warhorse? Medium-weight horse? Heavy-weight horse?"


What will you say/ask?

>>22681374
"A warhorse for European style jousting, German tradition. Know what I should be looking for?"

>>22681437

"A warhorse for European style jousting, German tradition. Know what I should be looking for?"
"You properly want a Destrier, an Charger, they where very prized by the knight in Middle Ages. But because we live in modern time, they don't breed them anymore. But you could get hand on heavy warmblood. The people on Germany still breeding heavy warmblood like Ostfriesen and Alt-Oldenburger." Genki said.


What will you do now?

>>22681686
Have Genki, Araki, and Rachelle go and take a look around for a proper warhorse tomorrow.
"Genki, do you know how to ride a horse as well as knowing their breeding?"

If we're going to joust, we'll need to know how to ride a horse. And Araki can still experiment on Genki.

File: 1358634090010.jpg-(260 KB, 1280x720, Ellis_got_his_horse_by_Ryu_Gi.jpg)

>>22681791

"Genki, do you know how to ride a horse as well as knowing their breeding?"
"Well yeah! My uncle is a professional horse breeder so that I learned a lot from him. And I looove horses!" Genki said with pride while he smile brightly

After you had talking with him, you decided to send Genki, Araki and Rachelle for the proper warhorse tomorrow. You will also properly need to learn how to ride a horse.

And also you planned to let Araki to perform experiment on Genki to see if you could trigger his other transformation but you think it is better if you do it after you had finish the fight with Gustav.


What now?

>>22682096
Begin the process of acquiring that stock.
Enjoy a meal with the maids.

I believe that's it for today.

End of part 46, Continue on part 47
Wushu and Horse


Ok I decided to end this quest tonight because I find it pretty fitting to end there.


I'm gonna be on the board for about 20-30 minutes. Do you have any suggestion or problem with the quest?

>>22682312
I'd like more economic and corporate management simulation. I know that as a multi-millionaire rich kid, most of our wealth is probably from a trust fund and a holding company, but I'd like to divert a small part of the fortune to play around in economics and industry.
But that's just because I like dating/economic simulators.

>>22682399

I see, I was little unprepared for economic part (I had planned to run it pretty loosely) but let see if I could work on small business system. But don't hold your breath.

Ok I will leave now. I will try to see if I can make a working economic system to this quest.

See you on next weekends! Have a good day and good night!
