Chapter 60 – Bomb
Shortly after Jet-black gave Remy a lift home,
“Remy’s back.”
Remy opened the door to the great hall and stepped inside.
And, as if they were already well-informed, there were two people waiting here.
“…Hah… Remy. It’s not ‘Remy’s back,’ is it? Isn’t there something you should say?”
Her father, Banrard, the head of the Albrella family, admonished her with a twitch of his eyebrows.
And——
“Remy…!”
“Uugh…”
Ruca, Remy’s older sister, whose voice had the same low intonation as Remy’s as she approached, and who gave her a glancing blow to Remy’s head.
Of course, it was an action that she would never have done when Remy was sick.
“Papa, she just hit Remy. Get angry.”
“I don’t blame her for doing that. I still allow you to go out without notice, but can’t you at least have an escort or two? It’ll be too late if something happens.”
“Father is right.”
“Huuu…”
During this time, they did not show much change in facial expression towards each other. It was a scene where you can tell just by looking at them that they are sisters.
“Well, it’s good that you’re back safe and sound…”
“Yes.”
“No matter what happens, the Jet-black will always be there” is a statement that suggests confidence.
“So, Sir Jet-black is not here… Did he come back with Remy?”
“He gave Remy a lift right by the house. But he left right away because he has a job with Vertal.”
“Then it can’t be helped… Hmm? Wait a minute——Did he say that?”
“——How do you know?”
Here, two voices overlapped.
Banrard’s face was tense. Ruca’s face was stunned.
That organization is made up of people on top-secret missions.
There is even a rumor that the moment you ask even one question, you will be deemed as an “inconvenience.”
In addition, it is inevitable that a bad impression will be created.
This is something you should never ask. It’s like Pandora’s box.
The Albrella family in particular is indebted to him for helping Remy.
It’s an absolute must not to go against that kindness.
“…It’s okay. Remy just asked if he was busy. Remy also asked if there was anything Remy could do to help.”
“I-Is that so? And what did he say?”
“‘I’m busy,’ he said. Also, he said he could get anything he needed.”
“Surely that’s something that Vertal can do…”
“Get ‘anything’ really is amazing.”
And with a sigh of admiration, Ruca began to hug her defenseless little sister. Earlier, she had raised her fist, but it was all a manifestation of her affection.
Once Remy was safely held in Ruca’s arms, she continued to speak,
“Also, Remy got a deal. 10 full magic recovery potions, 40 medium magic recovery potions. A delivery to that stone bridge.”
“…Hmm? To that stone bridge we’re funding?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t think there was much use of magic for it…”
Banrard looks grim, his brows furrowed.
Anyone would react like this if there were a misunderstanding.
“They’re going to do the magic inclusion method. Maybe it’s because that guy showed up. He said he’d pay later.”
“Isn’t that…a complete loss? Their business will lose money… Well, more like the person in charge.”
“Definitely.”
Ruca immediately expressed her agreement.
“…That person can really do some frightening things…”
Banrard, who muttered meaningfully as if he had guessed Jet-black’s intentions, used the expensive magic tool on the table and immediately dispatched communication.
“——It’s me. I need 10 full magic recovery potions and 40 medium magic recovery potions. Have them transported to the stone bridge… No, that won’t be necessary. Just let them know it’s a favor. Thank you, I’m counting on you.”
One of the reasons for the great development of this commercial organization is this rapid means of communication.
And because they have a lot of stock and personnel who can get the job done on short notice.
Once he had finished using his magic tool, Remy tilted her head as if she had been waiting for the right moment.
“Papa, aren’t you going to take any money? You said it’s just a favor.”
“Yeah. It’s a big amount, no doubt, but it’s nowhere near the cost of the repairs we’ve covered. Plus, we are dealing with Merandom that is gaining momentum. It’s more advantageous to gain their favor than money. …I’m not sure how that person knew that we have no connections with Merandom, but he must have anticipated our actions.”
It was also confirmed that the Jet-black has an information network that is far beyond their understanding.
Banrard couldn’t help but get a headache.
“I tried to return a small favor by offering money, but they returned it twofold…”
“Father, it’s best not to get too deep. Everything is on a different level.”
“Of course, I understand that. The more we get involved, the more we might be manipulated… But, however——”
Then, Banrard looked at Remy, who was being held in Ruca’s arms.
Squinting his eyes, he firmly focuses on Remy, who was putting silent pressure, saying, “Absolutely not.“
“Father, you shouldn’t spoil Remy. One day she’s going to do something terrible. She might come back with a bomb and make our stomach ache like what happened with Duke Diggoth.”
“Wha-what’s going on? Remy, are you okay?”
“It’s okay. Remy is going to his house tomorrow to get a present. He’s going to congratulate Remy on Remy’s new beginning.”
“……”
“……”
There was no way it was okay——The father and sister thought as they looked at each other.
Even with all their power, they are worlds apart from Vertal. The words “present” and “new beginning” from the organization’s member, Jet-black, were nothing but bad omens.
Just like Ruca said, Remy might come back with a bomb!
“Remy, you must never accept that present. Never. We are already in their debt. We can’t owe them anything more than we already do——”
“——No.”
“Remy, listen to me.”
“No. He said he didn’t want anything from us. It’s okay.”
“Don’t be so easily coaxed!”
“Remy, you absolutely can’t accept his present.”
“No. Remy is definitely getting his present.”
There’s always a catch to a good story. Banrard and Ruca could feel it throughout their entire bodies at this very moment.
“Father, what are we going to do? She’s definitely not going to listen anymore.”
“True, but considering that Remy is already involved with the Jet-black, there’s no choice but to let her go… We’re cornered with no way out…”
“Mufufu.”
Remy snorted as if to say ‘I did it! Yay!’
“Let’s put this discussion on hold for now… I’ll discuss it again with your mother as soon as she gets home…”
From this moment on, Banrard began to feel a gnawing sensation, similar to the stomach ache that Duke Diggoth had.
