//------------------------------// // Meeting the Neighbors // Story: Ainz Ooal Gown in Equestria // by zakan //------------------------------// One day before Celestia's summons It was a lively and pleasant day in Ponyville, in short, it was not Thursday. While everything seemed normal, just over half an hour away, traveling by train, something that was anything but normal was approaching, traveling in a VIP cabin, they were in their pony version Narberal Gamma of the Pleiades and the supreme ruler of the great tomb of Nazarick, Momonga, the latter was reviewing for the last time the details of the mission with his subordinate. "Remember it well, at this moment you are not Narberal Gamma, you are Nabel Spark, a unicorn with a talent for electric magic, I am Momon Shade, a unicorn with a talent for design and business, not your master." "As you order Momonga-sama." "Momon, and without honorifics, they are not used here!" "I'm very sorry Momon-sama, but I could never dare to be so disrespectful to a supreme being." -Said the combat maid with her head lowered and with conviction- Aaaha, this is wrong, even the Pleiades are the same, I feel bad doing this to one of the NPCs created by my friends, but if I don't do it, all Demiurge's plans and my 'vacations' may be ruined. Suzuki Satoru, made his decision, he had to do what was necessary and that later he would more than reward his subordinate, he took a deep breath before speaking again, and to denote the seriousness of his argument, he released his [Aura of despair: Level 1 fear], and with all the seriousness he could muster, he spoke in a slightly low voice, slowly and calmly. (According to him Xd) "Narberal Gamma, are you telling me that you intend to ignore my directions?" At this moment, her eyes widened and she froze. "Are you telling me that you intend to ruin my plans on purpose?" Everything fell into place inside Narberal's head, she got up from the seat and threw herself to the floor with all her legs bent under her, almost crashing her snout against the floor. "I'm so sorry Momonga-sama!" -The maid yelled at the top of her lungs- Eeeeee!, luckily I applied anti-spy spells in the cabin previously, I did not expect a reaction like this! By the surprise, Momonga even completely suppressed his fear aura unconsciously. "I am very sorry to have given you such an image of disloyalty, let me pay for my sins with my death!" Narberal took out a dagger from his inventory and was about to split his neck open, and just as the point was about to graze his fur. "Enough, Narberal Gamma!" Whew, thank goodness, I barely managed to react in time. The pleiad withdrew the dagger from her neck and lowered it to the ground, the tip was just about to touch her skin under her fur, it goes without saying that she was very worried; he had not allowed her to commit suicide. Could it be that my master wishes to punish me differently? no, that's the safest thing to do. -she thought disconsolately- 'After all, a quick death could not pay for my sin, I have shown disloyalty.' -she thought as tears began to appear on the edges of her eyes- but the next words from his master were something she would never have expected, at least after what she had done. "I am not accusing you of being at fault, I was only showing you the error in your reasoning." "Please, I am not deserving of such kind words, I am very grateful for the infinite compassion that you have shown to this fool, and I am sorry that in the first instance I disrespected you in that way Momon-ss ..." Aaaha, still wasn't it enough to convince her completely?, just how jealous of duty did you make her Nishikienrai-san? -Momonga thought with some regret and stress- "Well if it is still very difficult for you, I allow you to use a double 'S', instead of the 'sama'" that way, at least, it will seem that she does it out of affection or as a slip. "I am infinitely grateful for your kindness Momon-ss!" "It doesn't matter, now make yourself presentable, we'll be there soon... ah, right, remember to suppress your thirst for blood too, I don't want another incident like the one in Manehattan." * FLSHBACK * Momon and Naberal were walking down the street after having made their first stopover. Mhm, in short, it was a very good idea to make the change first!, even though we already knew that every two Equestria coins had a value comparable to that of one Yggdrasil, just like the Minos coins, thanks to the [Exchange box ], knowing that the intrinsic value was even higher was a great bonus, thanks to that I now have triple the funds! "Whoa, whoa, hello precious, you are the most beautiful mare I've ever seen." They both stopped in their tracks, a simple-looking unicorn, with a short blond mane and blue-gray fur, which seemed to be under the influence of a few too many glasses, spoke to them suddenly, fortunately, Narberal simply did ignore him... at least until he blurted out the next sentence. "How about you put that loser aside and we go have fun for a bit huh?" Just at that moment, the mare turned to look at him coldly and suddenly the world had frozen for the stallion, he was shivering, sweating cold, and the bottle that he had been holding in his magic shattered on the ground without him reacting about it, the mare took a step towards him with a murderous look, he wanted to run away but his legs did not move a millimeter more than to tremble, when he felt that he was about to die of fear, everything stopped. With a stallion's hoof on the mare's shoulder, the sensation stopped abruptly, allowing the drunkard to release the breath he hadn't realized he was holding and then passed out. "It is enough, Nabel, it is better if we attract as little attention as possible" - Momon said in a low voice to the Pleiade- And with that, they turned and left. * END OF FLASHBACK * Poor stallion, I think that in addition to shit himself he gained some gray hair at that very moment. "No matter how annoying they are, as long as they do not attack you or me physically, you are not allowed to attack anyone, nor do you direct your bloodlust on anyone." I do not want to scare another attempt of a lover for life in a society that already has few males per se. "As Momon-ss ordered." "Mmh? what's going on outside, there's a lot of movement." Roused by the sound of hooves on wood, Momonga got up and opened the door a little to look into the corridor, he could see multiple mares and stallions with faces of shame or completely flushed and covering their flanks with coats or other things, then an unmistakable aroma came to him. …Oh, shit, I forgot that the [Aura of Despair], is one of my AoEs that I can't control its scope, to all of you, I sincerely apologize! He discreetly bowed his head once and returned to his seat. "It's nothing, they just got up to the bathroom." I need to be more careful when using AoE from now on. Little more than 30 minutes later, they finally arrived at the Ponyville station, where they did not attract much attention, mainly because there was almost no one waiting for the train when they left the station and walked towards the town hall, then, the story was different; foals and stallions felt envy and jealousy of Momonga when they saw Naberal by their side, mares and fillies were not able to take their eyes off the stallion that accompanied the one who, surely, was a model. This is not right, we are attracting a lot of attention. "Nabel, let's hurry up, we have to start the process at the mayor's office today, we'll take care of the lodging later." "Yes, Momon-ss." Kyyyyyaaaaaaaa, it's too embarrassing to speak so casually to the supreme ruler of Nazarick!, but it can't be helped, if I don't I will be the cause of failure, I just hope that when I return, Albedo-sama doesn't torture me too much. The rest of the walk passed without problems beyond the attention received, when they reached the mayor's office, they went to what seemed to be the receptionist, she was very focused on the paperwork that she had in her hoofs, so she did not notice the newcomers, despite being a earthpony, she was doing her best at her job, and after a quiet afternoon, the last thing she expected was something new, after all, it was almost nightfall, so that's why she almost fell from her chair when an unfamiliar voice suddenly speaks to him. "Good afternoon miss, is the mayor available?" After regaining his balance, she looked with embarrassment in the direction of the visitors, when his gaze fell on the stallion that had just spoken, all his thoughts made an emergency stop. Warning, 'INKIE.EXE' has stopped working, trying to restart the service, wait a moment (hehe, I couldn't skip this joke.) Before her, was the most handsome stallion she had ever seen, for her work, she once had the opportunity to see Prince Blueblood up close, but the specimen in front of her made him look like a rag, he was taller than Bigmac, that It was a fact, he was muscular, but not shockingly like Bulk biceps, he had good proportions, his mane was silky and slightly long, a royal purple color, a little lighter than Rarity's, but before she could stay lost In her thoughts, the pen she had been holding in his half-open mouth broke free from its bonds, landing pint first on the back of his left hoof, imparting the pain that freed his mind from the trance. "Eeeep!, Ouch!, ehehehe, sorry, it seems that I was distracted for a moment, umm… ah, yes! The mayor is at this moment, this… could you tell me what is the procedure you want to do?" I don't understand what happened, way she kept looking at me that way, could she suspect something? Nonono, that's impossible, even though this world is inherently magical, that can't happen. "I want to buy a piece of land to install a workshop, and a place near the town center to sell my finished products, miss...?" "Ah, but where are my manners! I apologize, my name is Inkie Form, nice to meet a hunk- I mean! to meet you! sir...?" "Momon, Momon Shade, and this is my cousin Nabel Spark" YAAYYY!, so that is not his special somepony or wife! neat!, I'm so lucky! I wonder if he has already a special somepony?-Inkie wondered- "Well, as for a place near the center, there is a medium-sized one of approximately 180 square meters, it is located near Sugar Cube Corner, the cake shop, it consists of a front of 12 by 8 meters as sales floor and a back room of 7 meters, it is of two floors and includes two bathrooms in each one. " The secretary handed him two sheets that she had been looking for while she was speaking, she had taken them out of the desk drawers, they contained all the property data, costs, dimensions, and more. "It has a cost of 250bits per month for rent, if you want to buy the property, it has a cost of 20,730 bits, the second is a smaller premise, it has an area of ​​90 total square meters, and the backroom is 3 by 4 meters, their costs are 150 bits of rent per month or a sale price of 9500 bits. " "Mmhm? Tell me Miss Inkie, what are these extras that are under the rental fee?" "Yes, it is about the quotas by the level of insurance that is offered for businesses, they offer partial or total protection to the property and/or products in the event of a sinister during the week, but all businesses have 95% coverage in any problem that could arise during a Thursday. " Eeeeh, why is that? it is that perhaps they are sure of what can happen depending on the day of the week? isn't that quite weird? "This difference applies because Thursdays can be heretical days since, in addition to our proximity to the Everfree forest, the bearers of the elements live here." Is that supposed to be an explanation? I didn't understand anything! "The bearers of the elements?" Well done Narberal! "Yes, the elements of harmony, Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness, Generosity, Laughter, and Magic, the bearers are the princess of friendship and her closest friends." I see so that princess is the minor noble who lives in this place. "In terms of land for your shop, what kinds of accommodations will you need?" "As wide as possible with a budget of 170,000 bits, if possible near or next to the tracks, as I plan to expand my business as much as I can." "Hmm, with those qualities, I think there is only one, hmm ..." Inkie put her hoofs to work looking for the land papers. "Got it! Here it is, it's a one-acre lot near the tracks, it's west of town, it costs 154,000 bits." The secretary passed the page to Momon while describing the addition regarding the train. "A permit to build an extension of the tracks has an additional cost of 18,000 bits, this land includes the permit and the construction of the loading and unloading station" "It seems to be an excellent option, I will take it together with the medium place" "Excellent!, I will prepare all the necessary paperwork, and if it's approved, I will have them ready to sign for tomorrow morning!, you can proceed to follow the process from 10 in the morning, now, if you like to wait for a little, I will pass your request to the mayor so that she interview you and authorize your request. " "I appreciate it, we'll take a seat then." Inkie quickly prepared the necessary forms to take them to the mayor, when entering her office and closing the door behind her, she could not contain herself anymore. *NEEIIGHH* (happy equine sounds) "By Celestia Inkie, where is your professionalism?!" Behind the desk was nothing more and nothing less than Ivory Scroll the mayor of ponyville, a earthpony mare with beige fur and a mane and tail dyed by the experience of the years, (one that comes in bottles, although she never confirmed it or negated it) of grayish color, with half-moon glasses sitting on the bridge of his snout and his typical fluffy aqua bowtie accompanied by a white-collar to give her class, her blue eyes, normally kind, looked at his assistant with some reproach. "I'm sorry mayor, but I couldn't help it!, the most handsome stallion I've ever seen had just come over!, and he's going to stay here in Ponyville! and, he's outside waiting! here are the forms for his requests to start procedures." Inkie handed in the requests for review and the response was immediate. "Hehe, who could have seen it come, so waiting was expensive in the end for Filthy Rich, I don't think he can imagine someone with so much seed money could get to Ponyville." "What do you mean Miss Scroll?" "This land was already in Rich's sights before, but he hadn't bought it since he installed another branch of his chain in Baltimare, well, let them in, if I remember correctly, you said something similar when you met Prince Blueblood for the first time, once, I think you compared him to Big McIntosh if memory serves me, but if you want my opinion I would say that Princess Twilight's brother is much more handsome than both of them." "you will agree with me when you see it." Said the secretary before standing up and opening the office door, and indicated to the visitors that they could pass. Aaaha, youth, and its constant changes, jejeje, later she will tell me that she prefers Justin B... Ivory Scroll was not a happy-eyed mare, on the contrary, she was focused and conservative, more without a doubt, the stallion that entered her office, accompanied by a mare that although she was young, could easily dethrone any model, it was in short, the most handsome stallion she had seen so far, so blushing and going completely blank was the most natural reaction; the secretary, realizing the mayor's state, decided to give her a helping hoof, slamming the door hard when closing it. * CLAMP * "W-welcome!, my name is Ivory Scroll, I am the mayor of Ponyville" The mare said as she extended a hoof in greeting gesture, which was taken without hesitation by Momon as he replied. "It's nice to meet you Miss Scroll, my name is Momon Shade, she is my cousin Nabel Spark." Both visitors bowed their heads slightly when were named. "Anyway, it's already a bit late, I suppose you'd like to get straight to the point, right?" "That's correct Mayor, we have not looked for a place to spend the night yet, so I would appreciate it if you could speed things up a bit." "Right then let's get started, first, I'll ask you some questions, tell me, where are you from?" The mare had paper and ink on her desk, she intended to write down their data. "We come from Manehattan, well, we were born there, after the death of our parents during a business trip, we were left in the care of one of my father's former partners, he, after his death, left us some inheritance, and we decided to start an enterprise by our own." "I'm truly sorry, it must have been a bit painful." "Yeah, but thanks to old Red Horns we were able to get over it." "Under what name do you want to register your company and what will your line of business is going to be?" "The name of the company will be 'Multi products Yggdrasil', we will be manufacturers, sellers, and exporters of furniture, products, and services" "Marital status?" "Single." "Close family?…" The mare was left waiting for the answer, when there was no one she looked up noticing the look on the visitors' faces, then she realized and apologized, extremely ashamed. "Oh sorry, what an oversight of me!" "Don't worry it was a long time ago, my only direct family is Nabel Spark, my cousin, and business partner." "Had you bring your documents?" Nabel took them out of their saddlebags with her magic and handed them to Momon who placed them on the desk and brought them closer to the mayor. "Here they are." "Lastly, is the location, have you selected if are going to rent or buy?" "We will buy it." "Correct, so just sign on the marks and that will be all in terms of the pre-application, with this voucher you can go on to pay at the treasury window and tomorrow as soon as the property titles return, signed, and authorized for the princess, you can then come and sign both the archival copy and the ones that will be for you, then both will be legally yours. " "Will the actual authorization take just one day?" Momonga asked surprised. "Well before it took more than a week, but since the princess of friendship resides here, the government documents can be verified quickly." "Oh, I see, then I will pay and we will withdraw." "Poniville's inn is a couple of streets south of here, if you like, you can ask my assistant to guide you." "Thank you for the offer, but it will not be necessary, after all, it is not that far; then, thank you very much for your time and with your permission, we will see you tomorrow." "So long, have a good rest." With the goodbyes completed, Momon and Nabel left the office, paid at the treasury, and left the building, as soon as they left, the assistant entered the office with a smug smile on her face. "Well, what do you think?" "You're completely right" * weary sigh * "When he came in I felt like a filly watching her first love." At the inn, Suzuki Satoru breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, it occurred to me to make the [Eight Edge Assassins] take samples of the civil registry, to forge false documents and enter them as true in case they were needed later if I had not heard that couple talk about their son's registry everything would have been ruined, I did not expect there to be a civil registry! I just hope that the background story that I invented at the spot is not a problem later, in the game running into minotaurs with variants of nicknames that alluded to red horns was very common, hopefully, here was the same. "Momonga-sama, it is not suitable for you to stay here, this place is not worthy of your presence." Sama, again ?, aaaaah, well I think it shouldn't matter, after all, I already put up anti-spying barriers. "Narberal is not of the utmost importance, since I am an undead I do not need to sleep, it is about forming an alibi, also, it will only be tonight, from tomorrow we will be able to use our building and adapt it as much as necessary, We won't do anything else for today, you can start providing Albedo with today's report. " "As you order." As she passed the day's report to the guardian's supervisor, Momonga took a seat on the bed as he sank into thought. At last the first day is complete, thanks to all that the dragon had accumulated, we have sufficient funds for what can be offered, and thanks to the items that we sold or pawned from the prisoners, I had a good idea of ​​the costs of market, thanks to which I was well prepared to haggle if necessary, but I seem to worry about nothing, the properties are quite cheap here, well, it does not matter, it is better to have leftover than to fall short with the preparations. The next morning, after having gone through the mayor's office to collect their signed property titles, they dedicated the morning to putting everything in order inside the premises, making a show of transporting their things from the train station, being helped by a cart that They rented in it, also, some hidden units were located as permanent security measures in the building, in the afternoon, they went for a walk around the town to distribute flyers and introduce themselves with the businesses around them, while they walked through the main street, they saw a group of multicolored mares pass by in the distance, accompanied by a baby dragon, what most attracted their attention from the group was the mare at the head, which, as the reports indicated, had both the wings of a pegasus and the horn of a unicorn, it was a lavender Alicorn with magenta streaks running down both her tail and mane. So that is the appearance of an Alicorn, she must be the minor noble mentioned in the reports of the explorers, and if what the mayor told us yesterday is true, those that accompany her must be the elements of harmony, I think there was something in the reports about a pink pony that seemed to have a kind of low-level but wide-range magic detection, most likely is the one with the elements. "It seems that with the items that block the magical perception, she has not been able to detect us, today the receptionist at the town hall mentioned something about a welcome party, and that it was strange that it was not given yet; Nabel." "Yes, Momon-ss." "Go back to the local, and using the appropriate procedures, I want you to contact the group of explorers who were stationed here, you will give them the indication that two EEA go to the station, they must ride with them on the train, both outward and outbound, if there is a risk of being detected they will have to retreat and would be waiting at the station where they descended, also, they should contact us when they are returning. " "Yes, immediately." After the meeting with the representatives and the princesses Twilight and Spike, had dinner with their parents, in the company of Cadence and Shiny, where they spent the night, while the rest spent the night in the castle, in the morning they returned with the others to enjoy breakfast in the company of her friends and the princesses, while they discussed what they should prepare for the event. When they finished, they said their goodbyes and boarded the train back, arriving at the station, the first to notice the new announcement on the notice board was Rarity. "Uuuuu∼, but what is this, 'Yggdrasil, multi-product and service store', I didn't know there was a new store in Ponyville!..." After jogging in his place of happiness she continued reading. "Oh I see, it opened yesterday while we were in Canterlot, too bad we missed the opening." Said the dressmaker as she pouted when she finished speaking. The animal keeper came over to read the ad upon hearing the dressmaker, the others followed her example afterward. "Um, it says here that they only have furniture at the moment, but that they will start expanding their inventory starting next month." "Yes, if I remember correctly, the mayor sent me the paperwork to verify it the day before we left for Canterlot, I think its owners were only two ponies, a stallion and a mare." Said the Alicorn as she remembered. "As long as they don't have any flight equipment, I'm not interested, see you later." The speedster spoke disparagingly, taking flight and disappearing in an instant. "Well, a' don't care 'bout things too stylish, but a' don't miss anything if a' see, count with me." -Applejack said without much interest as she adjusted her hat- "Well then, let's go and welcome them, and by the way, see what they have for sale!" -Rarity said taping her hoofs excitedly hoofs on the station floor. "GRET THEM WITH A GREAT PARTY!" The party planner yelled with excitement. "Maybe it's better to go meet them first Pinkie if I remember correctly they hadn't been to Equestria since they were little, they probably don't have similar tastes to us." -The Alicorn intervened- "Oh, ok, you're right, I don't want to ruin it as I did with the yak's" -said the party girl with a slightly pained face that was quickly replaced by an ear-to-ear smile- "I'll go ahead, wait for you at Twilight Castle." -told Spike to tired to go shopping- Meanwhile, in Yggdrasil's shop, a warning echoed in Momonga and Naberal's head. * Pirip, pirip, pirip * Oh I see, so it was a kind of passive ability that allows you to get specific information of little importance in a certain range if it's just that, [Fake Data Bio] should be more than enough, I had already checked in advance with Narberal what is she supposed to show, so no problem. Momonga thought as he and the battle maid continued to serve the customers. When the M6s approached the store, they began to notice a certain pattern that was constantly repeated in all the mares and stallions they came across... they all had a happy idiot face as if they had just received what they longed for most in the world, seeing this Twilight got worried and decided to stop someone to ask what was happening. "Rose, what's happening to everyone?" "Mmhm? Oh, Twilight's you already back!" "Yes, we just arrived, tell me, why is everyone acting so strange?" "Oh that's right now I remember, you guys left before they opened, so you haven't met them yet! somepony opened a new store with interesting furniture and a new credit system!" "Credit?, well that's interesting though, it's not what I want to know right now, what I want to know is why everyone has that face!" The princess said emphasis, but if she had turned back she would have realized that Rarity seemed to have already found the answer if her wide eyes and the smile on her face could be taken as a sign of it. After understanding what she was referring to and turning to see the faces of some around her, Rose turned tomato red. "Oh, eheheh, mmmh… I think you better see for yourself, bye!" The florist hurriedly said goodbye and left discreetly, but quickly, leaving the group blank on what to expect. * Sigh * "Well, that didn't do any good actually, let's move on." When they arrived at the store, they were amazed by the quality of the furniture offered, but when they saw the centerpiece of the exhibition, (a kind of mix between wardrobe and chest of drawers) they were stunned, even Applejack who did not like ornate things could tell that it wasn't just pretty, it was full of intricate designs and fine finishes, but at the same time, it looked very sturdy. As Rarity admired the design up close, almost ecstatic, a kind but deep and powerful voice snapped them all out of their trance. "Hello good afternoon, welcome to Yggdrasil, can I help you with something." They all turned toward the source of the voice, and became practically statues, except for Twilight and Fluttershy's wings that spread out an instant later with an audible * Pomf *. As Momonga directed his gaze on each of the mares, he silently used [Discern Entity] on each one, to verify later, the one who broke the silence and then released the others was Pinkie Pie. "HUUuuuuuu", the party pony took a deep breath and then let out a chain of words that would easily embarrass any rapper from his original world. "HellomynameisPinkiePieandi'mtheofficialpartyplannerofPonyvilleiwastryingtomakeasurprisepartybutIdontknowthatyoumightlikeandIdontwanttooffendyousoiliketoaskwhatyouprefer…" Wooooo, how fast, I barely understood half of what she said! When the party pony finished her litany, that's when Twilight was finally able to react, and with great effort she controlled her wings and cleared her throat, causing the stallion's gaze to fix on her. "Ahem, my name is Princess of Friendship and I am Twilight Sparkle… I mean, my name is Twilight Sparkle and I am the Princess of Friendship! Welcome to Ponyville!" She said abruptly correcting herself after her mistake and almost losing the internal battle against shame. "It is an honor to receive you in my humble store, Princess." Momonga extended a perfect bow, with a front hoof in front, hips back, and bending the left front hoof inward, a typical equine bow. * Pomf *, the princess's wings spread again. "P-please get up, that's not necessary, I'm still not used to what the title entails." To her relief, the stallion got up on her instruction. "So I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable princess, and I apologized, but I didn't understand what your friend meant." "Oh um… Pinkie?" "I was asking if you had any special preferences at parties? "No, not really, since we hardly live in Equestria, we don't know many things, but I'm sure knowing new things will never be a bad thing." "Oki doki loki" "With your permission, I apologize, my name is Rarity, did you said 'we'?" Asked the seamstress with trepidation, thinking that this dreamy hunk was already taken. "Oh it's true, I haven't seen you before, where do I have my head? I haven't introduced my cousin to you, Nabel, can you come over for a moment?" "Let me introduce you to the princess of friendship Twilight Sparkle and her friends." With Nabel's arrival and her calm, collected gaze, the mares managed to regain enough composure to introduce themselves. "Hello dear, it is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Rarity, I am the owner of the Carrousel boutique and the element of Generocity." -The dressmaker introduced herself while bowing, not caring about the beauty of the mare, since she was only his cousin, although underneath she was jealous of her appearance- "It's ma' pleasure to meet ya', the name's Applejack, I'm 'the element of honesty, you can find me at Sweet Apple Acres, the place where ma' family produce the best apples in all o' Equestria." -Said the farmer proudly while shaking the hoof of the newcomer, who was very strong for a unicorn she noted- "I'm next, I'm next!, nice to meet you, my name is Pinkie Pie, but everyone calls me Pinkie, I work at Sugar Cube Corner, I like to make others happy and make friends!, I'm the element of laughter." -The party pony introduced herself without caring about Nabel's neutrality, as she reminded her a lot of her sister Maud- "Eeeep, erm, m-my name is F-Fluttershy, I take care of animals, I am the element of kindness, nice to meet you." -The pegasus was introduced, and to everyone's surprise, both ponies nodded in confirmation that they had heard him, even though hardly any sound came out of her mouth- "Fluttershy, PinkiePie, Applejack, Rarity, Princess Twilight, it's nice to meet you all, my name is Nabel Spark, if you'll excuse me I must go back to the counter." Naberal bowed his head slightly and withdrew. "Ah, right, now that I remember, this piece, (the centerpiece of the exhibition), I had only intended to keep it as publicity for the moment, but after thinking about it I have decided to give it to you, princess." Certainly, the princess was surprised. "What?!, nonono, I couldn't accept something like that without paying for it, it's obvious that a lot of effort went into making it, I couldn't accept it in any way!" "Reassure yourself Princess Twilight, this is not a bribe neither I am trying to win with it some kind of favor, far from it, I have two intentions, the first is that I want to expand my business, as much and as fast as I can, so I will surely annoy you constantly with legal permits, so it is a gift as an apology in advance for the work that I will probably cause you, and secondly, if the noble and wealthy found out that you 'bought' a piece of furniture, it would increase the popularity of my business, in addition, if you do keep it, my humble products might interest the other princesses, and if they get one too, the popularity of my business would go even higher. " The reasonable explanation managed to calm the Alicorn's nerves a bit. "Oh, now I understand, you are completely right, then I will accept your gift." "Excellent, let me just prepare it for transport, and if you like, I can bring it to you first thing in the morning, is that okay?" "Yes, thank you very much, that will give me time to decide where to put it." After a short goodbye, the M6s minus one said goodbye, and each one headed home, except for Twilight who was accompanying Fluttershy to her cabin to try to help her calm her wings. The next morning, Twilight's furniture was delivered, and in the afternoon the welcome party was held in the central square, in the open air, which was attended by all the business owners in the town and some villagers, could It be said that the party passed almost without incident, the only problem was when Zephir Breze, a skinny and careless-looking pegasus, who was also Fluttershy's brother, was thrown into the fountain with a slap by Nabel when he wanted to hug her. Near the end of the party, Filthy Rich, a dark beige earth pony with almost black gray mane and tail and owner of 'Barnyard Rich Opportunities', learned that the land he craved had been won from him when he saw how The construction of the station was progressing, so he tried to convince the current owner, Momon Shade, to sell it to him, without any success, after the failed negotiation Rich left the party, but not before assuring his competitor that he would make it impossible his business in a low voice so that only he would hear, to which the latter simply shrugged, which is why the earthpony came out practically fuming from his ears. That same night Momonga received a message from Albedo. * Piripi, piripi, piripi * "Momonga-sama" "What's up Albedo" "I'm calling to notify you that everything is ready to take care of the Diamondogs of southern Equestria." "Excellent, tomorrow starts the weekend of this world, we will take it as an excuse to keep the store closed and advance the plans." "Understood Momonga-sama."
