Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

One day, I was summoned by Mr. Crain.

I started waiting to hear from Mr. Max, and it's time for a week. Probably decided on a date to meet with my client. Or the report on the identity of the client you were looking into?

The reception room I visited while thinking that way.

Mr. Crain, who was waiting for me, said away in an awkward tone when he looked at me.

"Would you tell Miss Sophia, um... to hold her voice a little longer?

"............... yeah, what are you talking about?

Not like either I expected. And when I had a kind of bad feeling about it, I asked back terribly.

"So, yeah. The... what. From Miss Aristia's room, she heard Miss Sophia's... glossy voice leaking."

"............ ooh"

No matter how much I think about it, I only have one idea.

In other words, Alice and Sophia didn't know what was happening - not that Sophia would have read Alice's memories with grace. When Alice gave me permission, I told her it would be good for me and Alice to go after this.

... But I just didn't think Alice would allow it.

When Sophia genuinely uses the benefit, she experiences the read information in an instant. In other words, if you read about an hour of Alice's experience, you experience it in an instant.

............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. I kind of feel like we're in an irrevocable situation. In the sense that a thin book thickens.

"Hey, Lion? Are you listening to me?

"Excuse me. I've been thinking a little bit."

"Hey, you okay? Miss Aristia put Miss Sophia to bed. I know you're in a good mood, but you need to be careful until we're done, okay?

"... bedridden. No, that's not what I'm saying..."

In the first place, Sophia's opponent is me in Alice's memory.... so let's weigh ourselves in because it's going to be something vivid.

I thought so. I cough one up. I said I would be careful with Sofia.

"Oh. Do that. That's the point. The Alliance sent me to use it. They've set a date for the adventurer to meet his client. So they're gonna have you present, too."

When I heard the answer, I breathed.

If they were never going to sell creeps, they'd even refuse to see each other. Being allowed to be present must mean there's room for discussion.

"So, when are we going to meet?

"This afternoon, they say."

"... that's also a lot of sudden"

They're in a hurry, too.

"... in a hurry? That means you can see that, can't you?

"Oh, I just got some info on who my client is"

"Oh, that's Mr. Crain."

That was my heartfelt word, but Mr. Crain bent his mouth to the letter to.

"Let's be honest. Thanks to you guys for enriching my territory. If you hadn't brought me a deal that day, a lot of people would have died."

"No, I think that's the fruit of Mr. Crain's efforts..."

Why do you suddenly tell such a story? "That's all I'm thankful for you," Mr. Crain continued.

"So if the other guy's a nobleman or merchant around here, I'm gonna put all the pressure on him, but he was gonna let you sell the creeps."

"It's..."

I just want you to stop - what a fluent (relaxing) thought for a moment. I realize why Mr. Crain's confession is in its past form.

"Maybe... are they big?

"... oh. He's a big shot. Let's be clear. Of course I wouldn't even try to bump into you from the front, Your Highness."

"Is that it... who the hell are you?

"... a rumored shadow ruler who cows behind the country of Liselheim"

The shadow ruler is suspicious again.

I've thought about interfering with Patrick, but for this minute, it doesn't seem relevant. Or could it be the person behind Patrick?

"Who the hell are you?

"That's... bad, but you can't say it out of my mouth"

Mr. Crain bit his lip and looked down. All that or even that shoulder looks a little trembling.

I can't believe Mr. Crain still has someone in the country to fear so much. I don't know where anyone is, but you should avoid turning them to your enemies.

That being said, fortunately, this time the deal is meant to be. There is ample potential for each other to trade favorably.

"Confirmation, they're going to negotiate, aren't they?

"- Yeah, right. I guess it's up to you. Rumor has it you have no mercy for your enemies, but your allies have mercy."

Mercy on your side, hey. Doesn't being the shadow ruler mean you're a bad guy? Well, either way, we're gonna have to meet.

So, that afternoon. I was visiting a young girl's cafe.

By the way, I'm the only one who visited. If Mr. Crain has enough strength to fear, it is possible that he also knows about Sofia's benefits.

It hurts not to get the power of the favor Sophia has, but it doesn't make sense to piss them off. That's why I decided to ask Sophia to wait.

For that reason, Max and Melissa were already waiting when I went to the designated private room.

"Sorry, did I make you wait?

"It's okay, we just got here, too. Besides, it's a little while before my client gets here."

"Oh well. I hope so."

So I sit in the closest seat to the entrance. And I was seen with strange eyes by both of us.

"... what the fuck?

"No... better in the lower seat than us adventurers?

"... I don't remember revealing my identity, do I?

I'd have given Remy a pause, but I'd give him a neck.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

"Oh, I see."

Well, that doesn't mean you're a civilian.

But if that's the reason, nobility doesn't seem to find out. I guess they think he's the son of a leading merchant or something.

I mean, even the nobles wouldn't have this way of talking if they'd found out, I guess.

"I'm in a position to ask for a deal today. In the first place, I don't really like to be prestigious in my identity."

That's why I'm talking about it because I'm older. I want you to forgive me for that.

"Well, if Rio says it's good in the lower seat, I'm not complaining. Anything else you'd like to ask me right now?

"Right..."

In order to get the LUXGALBEAR creep, you can't surprise this deal just in case. We should do everything possible to gather more information than without Sophia.

With that in mind, I decided to explore the character of my client.

"When you say a client who comes here, you're two benefactors, aren't you? What's he like?

I already know they call me the shadow ruler, so I ask them about their impressions.

"Yeah, that's it. Actually, we don't know the details."

"... hmm? What's that supposed to mean?

"I told you. Even the benefactor who saved our father and our people. This request was made through Mr. Garrett, Melissa's father."

Max answered my question. I mean, I think I heard Garrett somewhere... where?

"What was the situation when you said you had help?

Mr. Crain also said he was merciful to his allies. If you are an emotional opponent, ask with anticipation that you may understand.

"Our village was abandoned by the lord because of the famine a few years ago. They say the village is going to be destroyed, and the village's grown-ups... became bandits."

"Bandits..."

I snap my neck that it's something I've heard somewhere. But I guess Max and the others thought I reacted to the fact that their father had become a bandit. I continued a little early.

"Of course, I know it's an unacceptable act. So I couldn't complain about our fathers being killed, and I gave up that we'd never see each other again."

"But yeah. I heard from you after a while. A nobleman saved me. As a criminal slave, he was accompanied by a servant who lived a life free of anxiety."

Listening to the two of you, the thought of no way swells up. And the moment it turned to certainty, the sound of the door opening sounded.

That's how he showed up, he can't be here - he was exactly the shadow ruler of this country. Something... I think this has happened before.

At any rate, the negotiations with my client - they seemed to be over before they started.
