Chapter 291 - Gold

_______________________________________________________________
After the four people who had an interview left,
we held a briefing session.
「This ans, gumi and Ringo think that the last person is good?」
「Yes.」
「My『ability to judge character』is accurate.」
Well, gumi-chan’s『ability to judge character』isn’t accurate, though......
「Look, Nancy,
it’s better to give that last person a miss.」
「Why?
That person seems to be most excellent one, right?」
「Well, that’s right, but......」
Umu, it’s hard to explain.
She hasn’t done anything yet......
If I'm forced to say sothing, it would only be to the extent that the na,『Hiyama Ai』, is a『false na』.
However, I won’t be able to answer if they were to ask how I know that it’s a false na~.
「Seiji, I didn’t think that you would object~.
Well, for the ti being, let’s hire all of them.」
「Eh?
Aren’t we supposed to choose 1 amongst the 4!?」
「Well, the manpower isn’t enough at all.」
Since Nancy has the final decision, I can’t say it sohow or other.
However, I’m worried.
The dangerous person who took the interview using a false na,
we don’t know what she’s up to.
For the ti being, I put a【Tracking beacon】on『Hiyama Ai』,
but to be safe, I put【Tracking beacons】on Ringo and gumi-chan, too.
Ah, while I’m at it, I will also put one on mama-san, too.
----------
While Nancy and the others were chatting at the『tea party』--held on the pretext of『briefing session』--I was secretly peeking into the situation of『Hiyama Ai』through the beacon.
『Hiyama Ai』was cautiously and restlessly looking around and she secretly entered an accessory shop called『Arc?Gold[1]』from the back entrance.
Is this person soone from another accessory shop
and is plotting sothing like that of an industrial spy?
『Gold-sama, I’ve co.』
Gold?
He’s called with『sama』, so that ans this fellow is the boss?
Since they are talking in English, he’s probably not Japanese.
『How’s the situation of Nancy?Jewelry?』
The conversation partner was an ossan with an asian-ish villain expression and he was wearing a jinggling, bad-preference gold accessory.
『It was easy, they only had Nancy, 2 children, and an interpreter;
They completely trusted .』
She thought that I was an interpreter, huh.
『I see, I see,
check properly the information I told you about, got it?』
『Leave it to !』
They sneak in to check so kind of information, huh.
『Arc?Gold』, what on Earth are these fellows?
「Nancy, it’s an abrupt question to ask,
but do you know the『Arc?Gold』?」
「I didn’t think that I would hear that na from your mouth, Seiji.
You’re fairly knowledgeable about accessory, huh?」
「It’s not like that at all, I just happened to hear a little.」
「Oh well,
『Arc?Gold』is a jewelry brand which grew rapidly in the United States recently, but......」
「But?」
「When I asked mama, she said that it’s not that sort of jewelry.」
Well, such a flashy, bad-preference ornant, it’ll also be rated low as a jewelry.
Or so I thought, but......
「That is『money wear』,
they use it as a counterasure against tax.」
「Money wear?」
According to Nancy’s story,
It’s said that the company does a Las Vegas show business
and turned most of their profits to『money wear』not cash.
Why do they do sothing like that?
It’s said that if, for a dancer, an accessory is a part of one’s tool of trade,
then the『money wear』is calculated as an『expense』.
If all the profitable balance is calculated as『expenses』, the profitable balance endlessly nears 0.
It seems that because of that, they don’t really have to pay tax.
Moreover, since the『Money wear』consus gold lavishly and the value of itself is gold, if you smash it and turn it back into gold, it can be converted into money at the amount close to its original cost.
「Such a thing, isn’t it simply a tax evasion?」
「Well, that’s right,
but they have made necessary preparations at various places from behind the scenes and do sothing wonderfully at the last mont...it seems.」
I see, those guys are like that, huh.
「By the way, Nancy.
Mama-san speaks ill of them like that, so that ans,
the『Nancy Jewelry』and『Arc?Gold』are on bad terms with each other?」
「Oh well, we are probably on bad terms with each other.
After interfering with each other many tis over, mama and the president over there are having a huge fight each ti.
Ah, co to think of it, it seems the『Arc?Gold』’s president have co to Japan right now.」
The president have personally co to man the ship, huh.
That flashy ossan is probably the president of『Arc?Gold』.
「I’ll go to the restroom for a bit.」
I went inside the toilet stall,
transford myself into a ninja man,
beca invisible using【Transparencification】of【Light Magic】
and then used【Teleportation】to where Hiyama Ai was.
***
『Iyaan, you’re lewd, Gold-sama~.』
『Co on, co on, guhehehe~』
Uwa, I encountered them at an unpleasant place......
Since I’ve beco transparent, so naturally, they haven’t noticed .
Although I decided not to look at the strange scene that much,
I put a【tracking beacon】on the『Gold』’s boss.

[1]This 'gold' is written in katakana, Gorudo and I've translated it as 'aurum' in the past chapters, so whether they're related/one or not, I still don't know yet. I'll leave it as gold for now.
