Chapter 58 – POV: The One Who Deals With the Bridge ③

First layer, second layer, third layer, fourth layer.

Like a blade in the surface of the water——without showing any sign of effort——the sword was inserted into the stone, which was imbued with the magic inclusion method.

“……”

Remy watched the outcome of the situation while still being piggybacked.

“……”

The Jet-black, who had cut all the stones in half, looked at the boss in puzzlement.

…Huh?

Merandom Chief Executive’s face turned pale as he smiled at the sight that made no sense.

All three people kept their mouths shut for that period of time.

The only voice that could be heard on site was the voice of people working.

Just how long did that period of silence last…?

“Overrated…”

“!?!?”

It was really the worst possible outcome.

There is no doubt that the stones had the effect of containing magical power, and they were even made to have the same efficacy as iron. It was a technique the boss was proud of, and it had a proven track record with no complaints, but——

Without using the same magic inclusion for blade enhancement, he simply dropped the blade. It was a nonsensical trick used by the man——and then, Remy blurted out an indirect attack.

“Wai-wait, Miss Remy! This is a misunderstanding! How can I say this… This man, this man is just crazy——No, um, well, he used a trick that I can’t describe!”

“Hmm? A trick?”

Why are you just standing there like a fool!? You’re making me look fake!

Was it just his natural personality, or he really does have a bad character, or it could be just a sense of being out of touch. Any of these 3 could be true when it comes to the Jet-black.

“S-Sir Jet-black! U-Um…”

‘It won’t even cause any damage.’ Before the boss said this, he really thought the Jet-black wouldn’t cause any damage. He didn’t think he’d see the stones cut in half.

But he can’t whine about it.

Remy’s misunderstanding must be cleared up now for the sake of later on.

“A-Anyway! It felt sturdier than normal stone, didn’t it!?”

“Well, um…”

“Didn’t it!?”

“To be honest, I don’t know if it’s the same or not… Sorry.”

“Wha…”

For the first time in his life, the boss was absolutely speechless. He felt like he didn’t know how to get the words out.

There’s no way that’s true, right!? There’s no way!! No way!!!

The boss couldn’t understand it anymore. Nothing made sense.

Remy, who was still stuck to Jet-black’s back, continued to look at the boss with suspicion.

The Albrella Commercial Organization is also an organization that places a high value on trust.

Remy must have inherited this teaching as well. That’s why she has the expression she has now.

“Well, you know, Remy.”

“What?”

“Judging by watching someone else do it and judging by doing it yourself are not necessarily the same. In fact, there are things that you only truly understand once you’ve confirmed them yourself, and there’s value in investing money to extend that understanding.”

“Okay.”

Remy nodded in agreement.

In any case, Remy is obedient when it comes to the Jet-black.

After a few seconds of being lost in thought, the boss snapped back to reality and found the two engaged in such a conversation without realizing it.

What? Co-could it be that he’s…

There was no mistake.

The reason the Jet-black was explaining this to Remy was because he was trying to clear up the misunderstanding on the boss’ behalf——

“Here, Remy. Try hitting that stone against this stone I have.”

“Yes.”

Jet-black sat down and picked up two stones that had fallen and handed one to Remy.

Following the instructions, Remy struck the stone held by the Jet-black with a forceful blow.

“Did you hit properly?”

“Remy did hit properly.”

“You’re still so weak.”

“But the stone was scratched.”

“You saw it right.”

“Yes.”

Hearing that reply, the Jet-black threw away the scratched stone and picked up another one.

Rem seemed to have a somewhat satisfied expression, as if enjoying the spectacle. She observed the Jet-black’s grandiose movements that seemed somewhat like an attraction.

“Um, mister. Could you perform magic inclusion on this stone? The stone I slashed earlier lost its hardening effect, right?”

“Ah, yes… Well then…”

You better not joke around now…

With this in mind, the boss sent out his magic and imbued the stone.

“…It’s done.”

“Thanks. Now Remy, try the same way again.”

“Can Remy be more serious?”

“Yeah, do it to your satisfaction.”

The moment the Jet-black took a stance, Remy let out an “hmph” and hit him with a stone.

The thumping was louder than before.

But it proved it.

“Oh. Look at Remy. This one’s not damaged.”

“…You’re right.”

“This is what I was saying earlier, ‘You have to see for yourself to know for sure.'”

“Remy learned a lot. Remy is sorry.”

“No, please stop! I was the one who said it wouldn’t even be damaged!!”

Remy must have felt guilty for doubting the chief executive.

Remy apologized, but at that moment, the boss felt like his lifespan was shortened.

After all, he made that claim and made the Jet-black try to slash it. Because it didn’t go as planned, no wonder Remy was suspicious…

“Great job, Remy. No matter how much power you have, it’s important to apologize.”

“Then Remy will allow you to stroke Remy’s head.”

“I don’t want that. They might think I’m some important person.”

When the Jet-black had Remy on his back, anyone would think, ‘What are you talking about…’

But the man himself… The Jet-black denied it.

“It’s tough on both of us, isn’t it? Haha.”

“Eh? Ah… Thank you very much.”

“No, don’t worry about it.”

Although the boss had no connection to the Jet-black, the Jet-black appreciated the hard work of “dealing with important people.”

What struck the boss especially kindly was that he said it as if he had the same hardships.

“Now, Remy. Let’s get going. You’ve got an important task to deliver.”

“Yes!”

“Thank you for your help, mister. Please take care of the rest.”

“Ye-yes!!”

With those last words, and with a clink of his armor, the Jet-black slowly left the site.

Remy also left, still piggybacked.

“…Hah…”

The moment their backs were out of sight, Merandom’s chief executive collapsed.

He turned the method of the job to magic inclusion.

And to complete the job, he spent more than two million regils of his pocket money and flew the request to Remy.

What’s more——he even owes to the Jet-black…

Before he knew it, not only was he being manipulated in the palm of Jet-black’s hand, but he was also made fully aware that he was completely ensnared in their scheme.

When that man came here, the boss had already lost.

But it had made him change his overconfidence.

“It was not an expensive study fee…”

When he finished, he fell on his back as if all tension was released.

At that moment——voices sounding ”Bo-boss!?!?” cried out on the site.

Today, the Jet-black yet again raised his rating without even knowing it.
