After returning home, Elza was waiting for me at the entrance.
[Welcome back Ryouta-san.] (Elza)
[I’m home. What’s the matter? You look kinda troubled.] (Ryouta)
[Yeah, Master actually dropped by just now.] (Elza)
[Master? Aah, from <Swallow’s Repayment>.]
Elza lightly nodded.
[So he just went back?] (Ryouta)
[Yes, the situation over there has changed tremendously, and I’m in a predicament.] (Elza)
[What sort of situation are we talking about?] (Ryouta)
I opened the door, and for the time being lead Elza to the salon where we can sit down and rest ourselves. On the way there….
[First, Master did come and bring us some news. He asked whether Ryouta-san is really going to Tetramine, and if so, he asked me to tell you to reconsider your decisions.] (Elza)
[To pursue me…. It must be because I’m a loyal and huge customer.] (Ryouta)
[Indeed so. If Ryouta and your friends were to leave, we might be in the red.] (Elza)
[Eeh!? Are you just exaggerating?] (Ryouta)
[You might just blow off our entire profit.] (Elza)
[That is…. No wonder he stopped by.] (Ryouta)
After entering the salon, we sat down on the sofa.
The conversation is becoming major.
[But then he went back without trying to pursue me?] (Ryouta)
[That’s because other buyers have started to work together with Tetramine. And it’s gonna be too late! Was what Master said.] (Elza)
[Being too late….. Well even if I move there, I’ll still be working with <Swallow’s Repayment> though?] (Ryouta)
As a former worker of <Swallow’s Repayment>, she does have some resolution with that place.
Then again, she’s now working at our mansion, and even eating and sleeping together that we can be considered friends.
[Thank you.] (Elza)
Elza answered with a hint of redness on her cheeks.
Seems like she has a different thinking from when I was staring at her.
As long as Elza is with us, I’ll always be working with <Swallow’s Repayment>.
[But it’s different.] (Elza)
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
[Master said: “Those people! I know that Satou-san will revive Tetramine, so that’s why I’m planning to take a spot there now.”] (Elza)
[….Which means.] (Ryouta)
[Yes, it is natural for Ryouta-san to bring them back to life if you’re going to be there.] (Elza)
[Eh? Natural you say?] (Ryouta)
[For example, you have made Indole, Samechiren, and Flint into something that flourishes now.] (Elza)
[I didn’t know I was bringing them back to life metaphorically speaking. Wait, are you saying someone’s calling me that behind my back?] (Ryouta)
Without even realizing, I was given another name for myself.
[Hence why Master wanted to move to Tetramine as soon as possible.] (Elza)
[I see now.] (Ryouta)
[And it seems that it isn’t going well.]
[Uwa!] (Ryouta)
I was shocked when it wasn’t Elza’s voice.
Following the direction of the voice, it was Ena who was being lead by Emily.
Ena, a colleague and a friend of Elza, and also a worker in <Swallow’s Repayment>.
I was also tasked to help them hunt for watermelons for their shop.
She seemed to be in a good mood.
[Ena, what do you mean by that?] (Elza)
[Master has some new information. It seems like someone has been buying the properties of Tetramine, and everyone else didn’t get a chance to buy one.] (Ena)
[W-Who would do such a thing?] (Elza)
[Hm. I think Ryouta-san would know who that person is?] (Ryouta)
[I would?] (Ryouta)
I started thinking.
To be able to spend so much, and obtaining information so quickly then acting it out so fast—–
[—–Aah. Is it Neptune?] (Ryouta) (TLN: I was so sure it’s Cell)
[Yep, that’s the one.] (Ena)
That person…. He works too fast.
Oh man.
[But it’s amazing that wherever Ryouta-san is going, everyone else decides that they want to go there as well.] (Elza)
[I know right. It’s like transporting billions of Piros around.] (Ena)
Elza and Ena complimented me.
I know, but this is kinda complicated.
