As there was a risk of him getting bored and complaining if I took too long, I told him my desires quickly and concisely:

One: I wanted to hold a martial arts tournament to find Altoire’s strongest fighter.

Two: I planned to hold it a year from now.

Three: I needed his help to make that happen.

In summary, those were the three points I raised to him.

“What is your objective for this tournament? If you can’t list at least five benefits, then we won’t give it even a modicum of thought.”

“What? Five?” This wasn’t quite how I’d expected the conversation to go.

He wasn’t a ruling power for nothing, that’s for sure. I had walked in thinking two or three positives would’ve been enough to convince him, but no, he wanted even more.

“Not five. At least five. Should we take that to mean this is the end of our discussion?”

“Hm? Now who said that? Of course I have more than five.”

We both knew I was bluffing. I hadn’t even thought of the bare minimum, and the king had completely seen through me.

“Really now? State them.”

But if our discussion ended here, neither of us would benefit. At the very least, the fact His Majesty was giving me a chance at all meant that he wasn’t entirely uninterested in the idea. I had only met him today, but I could already tell that this man would not waste his time on matters that he didn’t believe he could benefit from—especially now, when he was on vacation after no doubt finishing a boatload of work. The last thing he would want to do is deal with even more horribly bothersome work. Honestly, I felt the same way; I wanted to ignore all of this and just enjoy my vacation.

If the king saw absolutely no potential in my proposal, he would have put an end to our discussion already. So for now, I had to somehow squeeze out enough benefits to satisfy him.

“First, if you get involved with this project from the planning stages, you can have much more say in its rules and regulations. That would allow you to generate significant financial benefits, right?”

“First, the monetary benefit. Next?”

“The martial arts tournament recently held at Altoire Academy was so popular it has already been rebroadcast several times. If a tournament was able to generate such an impressive response at such a small scale, then you can expect to see massive gains in MagiPad sales if we were to hold one at a nationwide level.”

“Can we really expect that?”

“Yes. Though the number of shipments has been small, statistics show that after the school tournament, parents of students—a demographic that had previously not been a part of the consumer market—began purchasing MagiPads themselves. A tournament to decide the strongest fighter in all of Altoire would no doubt gather the attention of many across the land who would want to view it several times. In other words, a whole new market of people wanting to see the tournament again would buy MagiPads so they could view the rebroadcasts.
