Seven months have passed since he established a branch office, it is now November . Haruto is 20 years old, and Roa is 17 years old .

The branch offices in Reim, Alto, and Ringa have begun to get on track, and they have steadily increased sales . There’s also talk that they would hire 200 people at a later time .

「It looks like we’ll be able to go to Shufelt soon」

「I agree . I have also understood the insides of the Samaras Shokai . Soon, it will be settled……」

When Roa started to say something, Aisha vigorously opened the door .

「Haruto! A customer」

「Aahh, I’ll be there soon . Let’s go, Roa」

「Yes! 」

Haruto and Roa headed to the drawing room .

＿＿＿＿＿

The guest was Leon Glaser and his friends . Everyone has a blue face . Haruto had a bad feeling .

「What’s the matter? 」

「I’m sorry . I was taken to Reinard, and I’ve been dismissed . As it was, I was in danger in Shufelt, so I ran away」

「That is……more than anything else, everyone is safe . Let’s officially hire you here at Asuma Shokai . By the way, how were you taken out? 」

When Haruto say so, Glaser swung his head .

「I don’t understand . I intended to keep it a secret but……that guy has a sharp intuition . It’s suspicious . It’s like an excuse, so I’m really sorry」

Leon profoundly lowered his head .

It was two weeks later that Samaras Shokai came to ask for a meeting .

＿＿＿＿＿

「Haruto-san……」

「Don’t make such a worried face . Anyways, it may be a complaint about spying on them . I’ll just feign ignorance since there’s no physical evidence at all」

Haruto patted Roa’s head while saying reassuring words .

「Well, I’ll be back」

Haruto headed to the meeting place .

The meeting place was in Claris . It’s natural since it was the other party who asked for this . Haruto has the six desert people including Aisha, and the four other mercenaries including Pudding head to the meeting place, so he has a total of 10 mercenaries as bodyguards .

He arrived in front of the room where the scheduled meeting is . Reinard seems to have already come since fifteen mercenaries were lined up at the door .

「You can escort me up to here」

「You sure? 」

Aisha said anxiously . Haruto answers with a smile .

「Aahh . The other party seems to be waiting behind this door . I will call you as soon as there’s something」

Haruto said that and opened the door .

＿＿＿＿＿＿

A man was sitting on the sofa with arms folded . It’s Reinard . Roa’s uncle somewhat looks like her .

「Nice to meet you . I am Haruto Asuma」

「You are very polite . I am Reinard Samaras . Please treat me well」

Reinard and Haruto shook hands .

The sit down on opposite couches . Reinard looks straight at Haruto’s eyes . Haruto felt something eerie in that gaze .

「Now then, could you tell me the purpose of this meeting? 」

Haruto cut to the chase . Naturally, he will not forget to activate his Blessing .

「No, how are the employees who came from me now? I was very anxious . After all, I thought of them as my subordinates . For example, I’m still worried about those who spied on me」（Actually, I came to check the state of my niece . No matter how well you act and hide, my 『Blessing of Mind Reading』cannot be defeated . Even so, I’m a lot like Roa……ma, I guess so . After all, I……）

Reading each other’s thoughts at that point, both of them stiffened . After two seconds, Haruto left the room after jumping out the door .

＿＿＿＿

「Aisha! We will return! 」

「Eh? What is wrong? 」

「I’ll explain later」

Haruto walked down the hallway in a trot, leaving the meeting place . It would be troublesome if the other party read more of his thoughts . 『Blessing of Mind Reading』 . He doesn’t know how far the range and effect is, but first, he had to get out of the building .

（It got nasty）

Haruto bit his lips .

The matter about Roa has been completely discovered . And Haruto’s『Blessing of Speech』also . It was a mistake to talk carelessly . Because he could read the other party’s mind, he should have to take into consideration that there’s the possibility that other party also has it . If he thought about it, Emperor Westoria also has the『Blessing of Clairvoyance』so it’s not strange that Reinard also has it though it’s not amusing . Roa has『Blessing of Smelling Gold』, and Aisha has『Blessing of Combat』also . The allies on his side have Blessings, so it’s irrational to think that the enemy will not have it .

Haruto blamed himself . He doesn’t know what will happen to Roa now that Samaras Shokai knew that she’s alive . There’s a possibility that Roa may die due to Haruto if he did something wrong .

But this is not all bad for Haruto . It’s impossible for any schemer to act if the opponent has the rare protection of 『Blessing of Mind Reading』 .

（There’s no point in crying over spilled milk . I have to make countermeasures! ）

Haruto was frantically spinning his head .

＿＿＿＿＿＿

On the other hand, Reinard Samaras was calm as opposed to Haruto . That is the difference in the amount of information that is known to the other party . Haruto’s secret is two, Reinard’s secret is one . In other words, Reinard benefited . Furthermore,『Blessing of Mind Reading』is higher in reading minds compared to『Blessing of Speech』 . He can afford it .

「Oi! Millie! 」

Reinard called his secretary . When Reinard said those words, a door opens, and a woman comes in .

「How did the meeting go? 」

「I will explain later, but……my blessing was exposed . And that brat is definitely alive . I’ve verified it」

Reinard has already grasped that Roa is alive by reading Leon’s mind . However, he doesn’t know if it’s true or not . There’s a possibility that Leon is being deceived . There was a need to make sure . And for Reinard, Roa didn’t seem to be alive . It’s impossible to believe such an inconvenient story that says that his niece who’s been missing for years has become the wife of the Chairman of a rival company .

「I will return to Shufelt . Millie, use the assassin guild! 」

Reinard said so and began preparing for his return . He has to go back to Shufelt, his stronghold .

「Dead men tell no tales . It’s the most straightforward and sure way」

Reinard laughed like he’s having fun .
