The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

“You're on your way. You want a girl about her age to make a social debut.”

Then, in the reception room that was passed through, we hear from [Father].

... they need an actor to infiltrate tomorrow's party. They were planning to infiltrate the "girl of social debut age" and the "father", but the two actors... they ran away.

However, since the disguised invitation was made in the state of "father and daughter", it seems that it is difficult to be different now.

"So you're saying that you're going to be an actor?"

"Oh, I hate it. The daughters here are a little too old." Even if you borrow it from other places, it's just a daughter who is too difficult to behave like an aristocrat. "

With a deep sigh, [Father] framed his arm. I see fatigue on his face. I'm sure this person usually has plenty more room to spare, but... I'm sure that this person is tired as well, so it must be a lot of trouble.

"But fortunately, the only people who actually work are those who are fathers." Besides exchanging a few items, it's just a simple job to give money and trade. I can prepare for that. Worst-case scenario, I'll be good enough to come out directly. The only thing missing is the role of a daughter. "

With a deeper sigh, [Father] said that, and Crore's face surprised.

Well, did your father do it in person?

It would be unusual for the top of the organization to go to work. That's all, this time it's going to be tough, and somehow I nod my head while feeling like I'm not sure. I know it seems difficult, and I can empathize with it.

“Yes, even though I think it would be best if I left.... we don't have enough actors. Enough of those guys, but we can't use someone we don't trust. I can't afford to fail any more than I've been run away once. Then it would be better for me to come out."

"Father" is irritated or has a tingling air. After all, this guy is a little scary.

"Well, that's right." Mr. Tougo Wesora, I would like to offer you my greatest thanks for your help. What do you think? "

And when [Father] turned to me, he suddenly retracted the tingling air from before and looked at me earnestly. "Um..."

"Tsugogo-kun, just to be clear." You don't have to listen to this story. It can be said that there are almost no in-laws. I'm already out of here, and you really don't have anything to do with it. "

When I was a little confused, Mr. Crore came in from the side and sandwiched his mouth.

It's the coldest part of the story, but I mean, I wonder if that's because Mr. Crore's taking care of me. I know you're saying this for my own safety, rather than "Father".

But after all, I want to help someone who can help me... because Crore is a very important person to me. "Father", the important person of that important person, would like to help if possible.

"Um... can I check two things?"

Of course

"First of all, what kind of work is this? If it's a job that hurts people, I definitely don't want to cooperate."

The first thing that bothers me is what I do. [M] I hear that it is the father who actually works, but I want to know the overall picture of the work. If this is... for example, a drug dealer or something that puts people in trouble, I don't want to help.

"Hmm... well, in a nutshell, it would be the protection of vested interests." Of course, in order to avoid chaos in the world, we aim to stabilize our interests and positions by doing so. That's what it's all about. "

... somehow, I think I've been told something rather subtle. I feel like I'm being teased.

Um, specifically?

So, please let me hear it a little more, and I will try to penetrate it with my heart.

"... it seems that there are some people who are trying to send out the magic to rewrite the Summon Beast's contract." I'm going to make a mistake with the aristocrats who invest in them. "

That's the answer.

... oh.

"Is that, uh, someone from the Violon family...?"

When I asked in surprise, [Father] also looked surprised.

"Oh?... Crore. Did you tell him anything?"

"No? I'm rather surprised." We were just about to talk to your father about something around here. "

That's what Crore replied as she circled her eyes. That's right. That's what we wanted.

When we were nodding, [Father], um, nodded...

"Well... what the aristocrats need to do in their society this time is to make sure that the people who are trying to partner with the Violon family do not join forces with the Violon family." If we don't get funding from the aristocrats, the magical R&D that takes the Summon Beast will be thwarted. Alternatively, if we were to work with us, we would be able to extract inside information from them.... so for the time being, I want you to team up with us, not the Violon family. "

Oh, yes. The point is, we're still at the research stage.... I see. Faye looked at it and said, "It's not very practical! 'That's why I said, well, that's right. It can't be a finished product. That's right, that's right.

So, did I answer your question?

"Yes, I'm convinced."

Well, now I know what I'm doing. It's not something I don't want to help, it's something I want to be proactive about.

The job description is very good. It's very good.

But... there's one more thing I'd like to ask you.

"And then... one more thing."

It is very, very interesting, so I will check it properly.

Didn't you just tell me that you need a [girl]?

... when I checked, both Crore and [Father] nodded lightly.

"I'm talking to you."

That's right.

I'm not a girl, though.

... when I checked further, Ms. Crore and [Father] nodded together...

It's an error.

It's not an error!

"Um, I mean, I'm going to dress up as a woman!?"

"Um... I wonder what's going on, Father."

He nodded with a bit of embarrassment when he asked [Father] half troubled and half wobbled.

"That's right... even if it's my son, the deception will work." But... it would be better to pretend to be the "daughter of the merchant" as originally planned. The invitation is disguised as such. Besides, if your father fails, you better be able to seduce the son of the Violon family and those who are trying to partner with the Violon family. "

"I know Violon-san, but..."

In the double or triple sense, I don't think so.

"Oh, I'll be fine then." I'm good at makeup. "

I don't think anything's going to be okay, Mr. Crore.

"A good-looking daughter would be the best one to feel good about them." Well, you don't have to be a woman to look good enough... but if you're familiar with the Violon family, a disguise is a must. It makes sense... to dress up as a woman. "

... I see. Women's clothes... women's clothes... I mean, women's clothes...

"But I want to get on with this story." Fei-kun also cares about the summoning beast... and once I get back to Soleila, I'll bring Lila in a hurry...? "

Huh?

But while I was sitting there, Crore said something serious.

You're bringing Lila!

“Yeah, she's been in and out of noble houses, and she's got a pretty face, so I think she'll be good enough.”

... you guys, Lila? You're bringing Lila in to infiltrate?

Isn't that dangerous?

"I can't say that there is no danger." Well... it's kind of a "social gathering" with a little bit of darkness behind it. "

... I see. Could it be dangerous? Besides, you have to seduce Violon-san and those who are developing magic to steal the Summon Beast, right?

In the first place, I think that Mr. Crore's "father" would be a good person to stay with if he could live without getting involved. By touching this side, I mean that there is so much risk, I think I know a little bit about what Crore said and did.

So... uuuuu.

"Um, I'll do it..."

"Eh, Mr. Tuogo, are you sure it's okay?"

... yes.

"If you put the forest child in danger, I'll be embarrassed..."

Ugh, women's clothes... women's clothes... Well, I've been attacked at the school's cultural festival, and I'm not even pride enough to be hurt right now... uuuuuuu.

When I accepted, Mr. Crore's [Father] was pleased with his relieved expression.

"Oh, really!? Thank you so much!" then I'll be right back..... "

Instead, one thing, okay?

I don't know if it was a mistake, but I guess I had no choice but to do it... let me place an order.

Could you also leave the father role to us?

"... is that...?"

Thinking a little funny about your dad, I... pull the arm of Lao Cres who stood behind us and make a suggestion.

"Can't he be your father?"

"... is that me!?"

Yeah. That's right. It's you.
