Chapter 561: Familial Wealth (4)
"Well, now that we are all here, I wanted to ask if anyone had any ideas about the wine shop Renna owns~? Anything that we could make use of to sell more bottles and make more money?"
Swallowing the large chunk of venison and washing it down - funnily enough, with a bottle of wine that we now had in abundance - Rhefia got herself to the position of being able to speak so that she could say "I'm guessing you've already discussed the kind of girls you need working the store? You said Domus Stella - that's the name, right? - was more of a middle class, elegant but not overbearing sort of place, right?"
Renna nodded at that, so Rhefia said "Well, you need to pick out the girls based on their class and elegance, but also their ability to converse with customers well and have a good amount of charm. Not overly cutesy, but also not overly slutty either. You're selling wine, and while sex and wine go hand in hand more times than not, this store should have the outwards appearance of being classy."
"So... we need girls who are alright with showing skin but aren't trying to peel off their clothes at every instance possible, right?"
"That's what I would suggest, so I would say stay away from Rabbitkin or Bunnykin, at least for the majority of the employees. They are far too 'trigger happy' as a collective to not send the Domus Stella descending into a pit of degeneracy. One or two might be fine though."
"Isn't that one insane generalization of Rabbitkin and Bunnykin?"
Renna's frown only made Rhefia smirk as she shook her head, the Deerkin saying "Respectfully Duchess, the amount of women from those two races that I've seen throw themselves into a bed for barely a copper sometimes is incredible. It's not a bad thing either; it's just how they are, and most people love that about them. Running a business with them though... well, unless its a brothel, or you're alright with customers buying your products and buying some time with your employees..."
Renna sighed as she stared at me, her blue eyes rolling around slightly as she said "You want to partially run a store with me, but also run a separate store on your own that sells something as 'risky' as weapons and armor? How are you going to manage that?"
I pouted slightly and instead let out a slight huff as I said "Fine, then I want to open a brothel."
That got everyone to pause for a moment, with Renna frowning while Rhefia and Sari sighed together, and it was Rhefia who said "I hate that logically, that would make the most sense for you. Being able to manage a brothel would unironically be one of the best decisions you could make, what with how your brain functions."
"I don't know if that is an insult or a compliment..."
"It's both, Astra... it's both. What Rhefia says is true though; if you did open a brothel, I don't think anyone else would ever be able to match the type of shows you could put on. Problem is... Birchan isn't really 'open' like that. Brothels exist, but they aren't that 'accepted' by everyone. It's stupid though, since people go to clubs often, and it's the same damn thing; just whenever you buy your liquor, you get a pretty girl to give you a hand or two..."
Sari clicked her tongue and shook her head, and surprisingly it was Shelur who said "The red light districts aren't that 'popular' amongst the upper class, but they are very populated... so it all depends on how you want to market yourself, I guess. Clubs are acceptable amongst Nobility, but brothels aren't. Clubs don't take well to your lower class people, but brothels do."
That made Renna narrow her eyes as she turned towards the Orc, who instantly looked away as she was asked "How do you know that, Shelur? I thought you never went to those areas, hm? Or am I misremembering..?"
