"So, in the end, you... or who are you guys?

The next day, Charlotte asked Yangichi as she awoke carelessly about Catherine, who had been quiet until after noon.

Yaichi and Minori, Alana's three, were just the owners of [healthy body alpha (beta)], were perfectly well in the morning, and had asked for room service and enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast.

The male staff who brought the room service also seemed to be another unafraid opponent, but he deceived me by saying that “yesterday was too messy and Katherine was relaxing in the bedroom” and asked Minori and Alana to wait in the bedroom too and did it awesome.

"So, just a tourist."

"All lies"

The look on Charlotte's face, who said so, had no colour of reproach, and after grinning powerlessly as she had been somewhere frightened, she only strengthened her gaze a little and looked at Yaichi.

"I still have a lot of resistance to drugs."

"Uh, I see..."

Among the results confirmed in advance by Yaichi in [Appraisal +] was "Drug Addiction (Micro)".

Probably been continuously ingesting trace amounts of drugs and being tolerant.

"Yet I couldn't resist any of that medicine you used..."

"Uh, yeah. Um, I'm very sorry, but I think the drug resistance is probably gone."

"Is...?

Once again [appraised], Charlotte was in 'good' condition.

Probably the effect of [healthy body alpha], but it didn't seem to reach the point of granting [healthy body beta].

It may be dangerous to tell her about the loss of drug tolerance, but I also thought it would be bad aftertaste for Charlotte to suffer any disadvantages in the future because of it, and I dared to tell her.

"Ha... yes..."

"That, you believe?

"Because it's been a long time since I've felt so refreshed. I think all the bad things that were left in me are gone, but I'm convinced."

It's Charlotte's idea that we don't think about things we don't know, we just accept facts lightly.

"Well, Mr. Yoichi. You're not gonna make a deal?

It gives people a bad grin, like Charlotte is up to something.

"Deal?"

"Yeah. This, don't you give a shit?

With that said, Charlotte pinches the necklace on her neck and boasts.

It's not just a necklace, it's a witchcraft of will-to-communicate brought in from different worlds.

"I don't hear more about what this is, and I don't look into it. However, it's only convenient, so I'd love to give it to you."

"Mmmm..."

Yaichi can explore to some extent what the other person is thinking by [appraisal +].

Surprisingly, Charlotte seemed to say that from the bottom of her heart.

"If I could have this, I would have enjoyed my stay with Yoichi, a good tourist, last night."

I meant this, too.

Alana, who procured the magic equipment, has been asked to return to the An Motel with Minori.

If anything, I thought I should rendezvous with [Return +], so I don't have a phone or anything that I can use here.

Wherever possible, I'd like to confirm Alana's will, but whatever decision Yaichi makes here, she'll be convinced.

"... with a deal"

"hehe, thank you"

Though it sounds like an idiot to think about the risks posed by things from different worlds to less trustworthy people in this world, Yaichi decided to prioritize the acquisition of connections that might be useful in this country.

At least it doesn't seem to be a problem while the magic equipment is in Charlotte's hands, and even if it's in someone else's hands [appraisal +] can be easily tracked, and it's not that hard to convince (...) the people involved.

Yaichi decided to give up the necklace instead of asking Charlotte for a few other favors.

By the way, it's a demonic prop that gave way to Charlotte, but the results of the [appraisal] show that it can be used for about six months using accumulated magic.

"That, because it will expire in six months"

Yaichi told him so as he showered and escorted Charlotte, who had finished her clothes, to the entrance to the room.

"Oh. Then will you come and see me again by then?

"Ha, I wonder"

"If you don't come, I'll ask you."

With that said, Charlotte has turned her hand around Yangichi's neck and layered her lips.

Yaichi also accepted her without particular avoidance, and the two gently tangled their tongues before leaving immediately.

With a former CIA handover, it would be easy enough to find out where Yangichi is.

However, Yaichi is not necessarily in this world at that time......

"See you later."

"Oh. Say hello to Mr. Ed"

"Ugh, of course"

Charlotte left the room with a luscious grin.

"Oh, this is Todo. You look great."

"Thanks for that."

"You two are beautiful too!

Yaichi was coming to watch the circus that night with a ticket that Ed had prepared for him.

I can't even watch it in work clothes or jerseys exactly, so I was at a hotel boutique, buying formal costumes.

Yaichi bought the top and bottom of the tweed, Minori and Alana wore simple party dresses, all of which the boutique clerk told them to wear, and that's pretty much how much poker won yesterday disappeared.

I have no particular problem with this because I'm willing to drop yesterday's win into the hotel and keep Ed in the mood.

Yaichi was in a state where she was dressed in unfamiliar clothes, but Minori and Alana were dressed beautifully.

"Enjoy your stay now"

Ed, I finally thanked him for the way he looked.

Just in case I activated [Appraisal +] and confirmed my mood, he doesn't intend to pursue it in depth, although he has some doubts about Minori and Alana.

The circus, held by the world's highest stage device and cast, was a sweeping word.

Minori and Alana were enjoying their eyes sparkling, and Yaichi had been able to return to her childhood heart for the first time in a long time, but she took a seat just after half.

We talked beforehand about sitting in the middle, so there was nothing to blame, but the two of us turned a slightly worried eye.

Yaichi grinned lightly and nodded forcefully to reassure Minori and Alana.

"Oh, are you home yet? I don't think it's even half done yet..."

Ed called me when I left the venue.

He is a little out of breath, so he may have rushed to visit after receiving a report that Yaichi was seated in the middle.

"Yeah, I worked too hard yesterday, so I'm going to take a little break in my room. The other two are at the end of the day."

"How are you? You seem to like it more than anything."

Ed didn't dare tell me who cared about what, but there was just a slightly worse grin in his mouth.

"Uh, yeah. After the show, can you get dinner ready for the two of us?

"Fine."

"Well, thank you very much."

After returning to the room, Yaichi, dressed in his usual work clothes, [returned] to the Affordable Motel once and rolled out to the town at sunset completely.

In addition to the demonic props of perception inhibition, he walks through town unseen while defeating enemies in [Appraisal +].

This was another abandoned building where we reached through a number of unpopular and seemingly insecure streets.

"Oh, you're doing it."

In it, the large drug trade there was about to take place right now.

"I want information because it only contributes a little to policing this town"

It is a request to Charlotte, part 1.

Yaichi chose gambling as a way to raise funds this time, but it should still be, if he wins big, he gets his eyes on it.

Well, there's a part about Ed letting me explore this time that Yaichi got a little shy, but it's a hassle to be able to do it the way I want to and keep an eye on him.

Then I thought it was still quick to return it to the beginning and borrow the money that the bad guys would spend on evil.

"Around here, there can be bad dealings between illegal organizations or something?

"If it were..."

So Yaichi, who was taught some rough areas, narrowed down the area in question and used [appraisal +] to identify a few "places where transactions between non-union organizations took place" in the past.

After picking up "The Person Involved in the Deal" and examining their "birth" to wash out the antisocial deal that's coming up soon, it was at this place tonight that we made sure there was a million dollar deal.

Several men dressed in businessman-style, or workman-style, were about to trade aluminum cases for Boston bags.

A million dollars for the aluminum case, and the Boston bag is packed with white powder.

(Shit, I forgot to prepare the white powder... Ma, is that okay?)

Yaichi approaches the case and bag while hiding in the shadow of an unknown crate or wooden pallet, piled in an abandoned building that is the trading site.

(A little more...)

Almost to the desired location, Yaichi removed an empty bottle of carbonated water from [infinite storage +] and threw it away.

- Gashan! and the cracking sound of the glass bottle, and the men become noisy.

(Ugh, you put up guns and stuff as a matter of course)

Yaichi, who moved quickly to sew the gaze of such men, succeeded in approaching approximately ten meters from the case and bag.

Normally, it's not strange to find them, but the attention of the men was completely directed towards the sound, so the effect of the demonic props of perception inhibition makes them unnoticed enough to blur their vision.

After just finishing the work, Yaichi activated [Return +] and went back to the hotel suite.

"Results Announced -!

Remaining strangely tense in an empty suite, Yaichi retrieved the dollar notes he had plundered into the living room table.

"Oh, I guess it's stunning"

It was a bundle of bills totalling $1 million, structured around used $10 and $20 banknotes.

[Infinite storage +] 's function of "freely entering and exiting objects within a radius of 10 meters around the user” was used, and only the contents of the case were received.

By the way, I was also plundering the contents of the Boston bag, but that's something I don't really want to see, so I was going to keep it dead in [infinite storage +] and dispose of it if there was any good way.

However, Yaichi was “taking out” the replacement to each of the aluminum cases and the Boston bags because how many of them are bad people and just getting it on one side is not sleeping well.

- Meanwhile, at the trading site.

The trading scene was to be engulfed in tension by the sound of a suddenly ringing glass bottle breaking.

Several muzzles aimed at each other, a matter of precisely one-touch immediacy, but after a while and with no further movement, the leaders of both sides, who regained some calm, sent out two personnel each to search the area.

As a result, no suspicious items were found, so the transaction continues.

We exchanged what we had brought with us and checked the contents.

"... hey, what a joke. What the hell?

A workman-style man who opened an aluminum case boasted to his opponent about the case remaining open while dampening his anger.

Inside the aluminum case, a bright white copy paper was laid, and a single piece of paper was placed on top of it.

It was a million dollar note, depicted by the Statue of Liberty.

"You want me to trade these joke items for a bump? Ahhh!?

"Wait a minute, do you mean this? Ooh!?

Some of the Boston bags opened by the opposing businessman-style man were packed tightly with freshly cooked white rice.

A million dollar bill instead of a million dollars worth of notes, white rice instead of white powder.

Yangichi would be the only one who thought it was not a bad deal.

Eventually, the deal on this day was about to become a bloody protest, but "we were out of business with each other," so it was conveniently broken up.

For the record, the packed Boston bag of rice was thrown off on the way home and delicious by the homeless who happened to find it.
