After conversing with Cento-san and Cien-san for a while, it seemed that Tre-san and Rasal-san had finished their negotiations, so thanking the two of them, I returned to my seat.
Both Tre-san and Rasal-san were smiling at each other, so it seemed like their negotiations had been concluded in a mutually satisfactory manner.
[Rasal-san, have the negotiations been successfully concluded?]
[Yes. As to be expected of the Special Advisor of the Seditch Magic Tool Trading pany, she was a tough opponent, but we were able to conclude a contract with satisfactory conditions.]
[I see, I’m glad to hear that. Tre-san too, thank you.]
[No, if it’s a favor from Miyama Kaito-san, this is but a small matter.]
[……………….]
[Why do you look like you’ve seen something spooky……]
Even though I heard that she was the type to separate public and private matters, I could still feel this tremendous sense of incongruity with Tre-san, who spoke with honorifics, and I could feel it even more when such a way of speaking is directed towards me.
Thereupon, seemingly noticing my mental state, Tre-san stood up, and with her tone back to her usual one, she spoke with a smile.
[Well then, my business here is finished, so I’ll go get Sechs~~]
[Ah, yes. Please do.]
[Later~~]
Since the deal with the magic crystal is over, I thought we should call for Rasal-san’s acquaintance, Sech-san, here, but it seems that Tre-san herself had guessed my thoughts, as even without me saying it, she went to call for Sechs-san.
Hearing Tre-san’s words, Rasal-san put her hand on chin, seemingly thinking about something, and after a short pause, she spoke.
[……This Sechs…… is that Lich with whom I’ve done business often, right? So he was working for the Seditch Magic Tool Trading pany……]
[Ahh, so you remember Sechs-san’s name. Sechs-san said that Rasal-san might not even remember his name……]
[I certainly never called him by name. For the me at that time, he’s someone I had no particular need…… That said, I wouldn’t have remembered him if he wasn’t mentioned.]
[I see……]
She wasn’t particularly interested in Sechs-san, so she didn’t call him by name, but Rasal-san herself seemed to have a good memory as he remembered his name.
However, she doesn’t know that he belongs to the Seditch Magic Tool Trading pany, so I guess they really didn’t talk that much.
While I was thinking like that, Sechs-san came to the reception room a little later.
[I’m sorry to keep you waiting. Thank you for taking the time to see me, Miyama-dono. Also, it has been a while, Rasal-dono.]
[Yeah, the last we met was our last business dealings, right…… It’s been a while, Sechs.]
[Oya? This is the first time you’ve called me by name.]
[We now stand in a different position than before. You are an authority in the Underworld King camp, and I am Isis-sama’s subordinate. I have to treat you with at least the minimum amount of courtesy, for my behavior, depending on the situation, could result in others having a low opinion of Isis-sama.]
[……Hoho, that is quite the change you had there. No, pardon me. It’s just, I’m really surprised……]
Surprised that Rasal-san called his name, after listening to the reason and nodding somewhat happily, Sechs-san sat down in the seat facing us.
Thereupon, at that moment, tea was brought and placed in front of us…… Well, I thought about this every time I see him, but it kinda feels strange seeing Sechs-san drinking tea normally with his appearance. Won’t that spill out somewhere in between his bones……
[Speaking of which, Rasal-dono. Since you became Isis-sama’s subordinate, what about that research of yours?]
[Ahh, I have pleted it. I will show it to you when there’s an opportunity.]
[I’m looking forward to it. Well then, you have purchased a considerable number of magic crystals this time, but are you using them for your new research?]
When I met Sechs-san at the tea party before, I heard that Rasal-san had been doing her ultimate research as a Necromancer for many years, and that it was probably because she had pleted that she had bee Isis-san’s subordinate.
And that’s why, hearing that Rasal-san, who has pleted such a big research, is now purchasing a large number of magic crystals, Sechs-san may have gotten curious.
e to think of it, I don’t think I heard what she’s going to use those magic crystals for either.
[No, it’s not so much a research project. Its main purpose is to renovate Isis-sama’s castle. Since Isis-sama didn’t seem to care much about that area, I’m planning to make some improvements with convenience in mind. In order to maintain the magic formulas semi-permanently, a certain number of magic crystals is required. Well, I plan to use half of it for other research as well.]
[I see…… No, even so, this is quite surprising. I didn’t know you were the type to serve so devotedly…… No, I suppose Isis-sama is that excellent of a king that she could make you bee like that.]
[……Her slight naivety in some matters is a problem though.]
Rasal-san’s voice as she answered Sechs-san was so kind, seemingly conveying her admiration for Isis-san.
Indeed, just like Isis-san and Iris-san said, she really must be a caring and kind person.
Serious-senpai : [If anything, among Isis’ subordinates, she’s the one doing the most subordinate-like activities.]
? ? ? : [Indeed……]
