Chapter 76: (2)

In other words, you see. I have a duty-like something that should take precedence over everything else. You get it, dont you? But as someone whose heart of concern for people was as deep as a soup plate, I couldnt afford to leave the situation of this town as it was. Thats why I had to bend my conviction and lend a helping hand. How is it? This situation that seemingly would be popular with girls? Hmhmm.

He seemed as though would be able to make his way through the top company with his quick-wittedness alone. He was displaying such calmness and persuasiveness that made everyone involuntarily believe as such.

I feel like I heard some words I couldnt ignore. But well, very well. If it were possible, Tanaka-san, for the sake of the town, I would have liked to see you continue demonstrating your capability as you are, but fortunately, even with the results of this time alone, it seems like we will be able to evade the impending crisis, after all.

Right, right? Moreover, even if something were to happen, well be fine since Sensei is here with us! To put it bluntly, Sensei is real wild, after all. These words are from me, who have received tutelage from Sensei while witnessing his exploits from up close for years, so theres no doubt about it. Between you and me, it seems that even the sages once said that the one who gets their hands on Sensei will gain control over the world, after all. Really, Im not joking.

Tanaka secretly whispered as such to Echigoya. Omois words of, For some reason, I feel like my past is being created in the present, or is it just my imagination? Hahaha, reached neither of the two.

Thats why! Sensei, Im leaving the rest to you!

Creating a fancy sound effect, Tanaka departed the office at lightning speed.

Hahaha, I dont even know what that is, though. Still the same as usual, huh.

The left behind Omoi couldnt help but reply as such in a bitter smile toward the door where Tanaka had vanished into. Echigoya called to Omoi, who was staring at the door in such a manner.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Nevertheless, Ive never expected that well meet each other again under such a circumstance. Senpai.

Omoi looked a little bit surprised at these words.

I thought I had mistaken you for someone else since you had changed so much, but it really was you, huh. Your Highness.

Please stop with the Your Highness. Ive already abandoned that status, after all. Im just a merchant now. Though, due to my ties with the guild, Im also dabbling in politic-ish matters, but in the end its only temporary.

Hes a strange man, you see. His free and unrestrained gait is unreliable, and he tends to take a lot of unpredictable actions, yet he never makes you feel uneasy at all. To the point making you think that he might be able to turn the impossible possible.

As Omoi turned around while uttering these words, Echigoya showed a questioning look at the sudden topic.

If theres even a shred of conviction left in you, no matter how small it may be, I suggest you rely on him. If it were him, he would surely be able to live up to your expectations. Just like how he saved the people of this town.

Im grateful for the suggestion, but Ill refrain myself. When it comes to him, problem tends to multiply even more, after all.

Echigoya responded with a wry smile, but he could not keep the smile at Omois following words.

Youre a sharp man. So Im sure youve noticed it, havent you? That his power is something far beyond common sense.

..

Otherwise, theres no way the intelligent you would ever maintain connection with him, who at a glance is nothing more than a troublemaker, after all.

Omoi continued on, paying no attention to Echigoya who was showing no reaction.

Let me give you a word of advice. If you want to take advantage of him in any way, you better stop it. He may call me his teacher, but hes still the benefactor of me and my father, after all. Im prepared to go to any length against anyone that may threaten his stance. Well, he may not even need my help, though.

Omoi really moved to leave the office this time.

Just honestly ask for his cooperation. As incompetent as I may be, Ill also lend my assistance.

With these words left behind, Echigoya could do nothing but see him off in silence.
