Pushover Extra Trains the Villainesses

For example, in the case of usury, Bahamut’s plan determined credit ratings based on the position and income of the borrower, setting limits on loans accordingly. 

Even in gambl!ng, regulations were established to limit the number of entries and make the activities more legally compliant, suggesting a shift towards a more mainstream tourism business rather than secretive operations. 

For smuggl!ng, existing routes were modified to pass through Free City and similar locations, minimizing legal disputes even at a slight financial loss.

“This is… quite fresh stuff.”

“Minimize the problematic parts using various tricks, and at the same time expand the business by seeking new methods in its own way…”

To be honest, this came as a rather big surprise to the Sakiel Knights, who had only expected punishment or demands for compensation. As a small-to-medium-sized organization, they had limitations in their operations and faced numerous legal challenges. 

Bahamut was proposing that those who had operated recklessly until now would follow a unified set of rules within the framework of the continent.

Seeing the Sakiel Knights feeling a different mood, Bahamut continued to speak in a calm voice, “As you may already know, until now, you have caused a lot of unnecessary problems just because you are engaging in legally flawed activities. This war has proven that no matter how much the Sakiel Knights join forces, it will never last long.”

“Ummm…”

In fact, this was a very touching story for those who had suffered a painful defeat. No matter how great an individual’s military strength, the Sakiel Knights learned clearly through this war that their limits were too clear to confront a state.

“So, I concluded that you have no choice but to take this method to continue to exist. It will be quite uncomfortable at first, but I hope you will accept it as an inevitable process in order to survive. Otherwise…”

With those words, Bahamut showed a cold smile. 

Seeing this, the Sakiel Knights’ executives realized that his story was not a simple invitation.

‘This…in fact, it could be said to be more like a command. An order with the implication that if you refuse, you will be k!lled immediately.’

‘But apart from that, it’s right to do it this way…through this incident, our limits have been exposed throughout the continent.’

‘And in the long run, this is more advantageous if we want to conduct our business comfortably for a long time. We can also reduce the amount of bribes we have to sprinkle on the lords…’

The Sakiel Knights quickly processed these thoughts. 

Bahamut added a final word to drive the point home.

“In addition, for Sakiel organizations that follow these rules, we will provide some assistance to ensure smooth operations at the upper ranks of Beden. As you know, our home base is Schwyz, the center of this continent. We also have quite a lot of influence. I promise to support you in any way we can.”

At Bahamut’s promise of direct or indirect support, the Sakiel Knights made their decision. If they refused, there was a strong possibility they wouldn’t survive, and since the proposal resonated with them, they didn’t think any longer.

“All right. We, the Sakiels of Parish, will join Mr. Bahamut’s will.”

“We, Frankfurt, also join in.”

“Madrin will do the same. Additionally, we declare that we will follow Mr. Bahamut’s will from now on.”

“The Palatinate region will also swear allegiance to Mr. Bahamut.”

Along with their agreement, the Sakiel Knights declared their intention to follow Bahamut’s will. 

Although Bahamut made no demands regarding an oath of obedience, all the Sakiel Knights present shared the same thought. Until just a few days ago, they were enemies who fought with knives and had nothing to say even if they were executed on the spot. Bahamut instead provided them with a way to live and a vision for the future.

Although he asked for 10% of the profits in the process, this amount was rather cheap compared to the bribes they had paid to the lords. Unlike the elders who had tried to control them with clumsy authority, Bahamut guaranteed their freedom and presented appropriate guidelines. The Sakiel Knights executives here unanimously agreed: if they followed Bahamut, stability and profit would be assured.

Watching Sakiel’s reaction, Bahamut finally achieved what he wanted. Having acquired control over the continent’s underground economy through the Sakiel Knights, he began to smile quietly with joy.

‘A favor given in extreme circumstances is always guaranteed to have an effect. This is great, adding another big insurance…’

***

A black carriage ran along the dark night road, stopping in front of the gate of a huge mansion—the heart of the Beden Merchant Company and the residence of its master, Bahamut. 

At the entrance, the coachman set down a large box and left in silence. 

And inside…
