In other words, you see. I have a duty-like sothing that should take precedence over everything else. You get it, dont you? But as soone 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 seed 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 so 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 ti alone, it seems like we will be able to evade the impending crisis, after all.
Right, right? Moreover, even if sothing 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 , who have received tutelage from Sensei while witnessing his exploits from up close for years, so theres no doubt about it. Between you and , 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 so 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 sa 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.
Nevertheless, Ive never expected that well et each other again under such a circumstance. Senpai.
Omoi looked a little bit surprised at these words.
I thought I had mistaken you for soone 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 rchant now. Though, due to my ties with the guild, Im also dabbling in politic-ish matters, but in the end its only temporary.
In that case, likewise, please stop with the senpai, too. taking care of you at the research departnt was sothing of the past, after all.
The two of them exchanged wry smiles at each other. However, there was a faint air of tension between them.
Nevertheless, quite an achievent you made two years ago. The offer from everyone at the top ought to have been lavish, right?
Haa, please dont remind about it. For so reason, it had turned into lending a hand to the Empire, but Im sure you havent forgotten the reason why I left the Research Departnt.
Im really sorry. But from the looks of it, the people there seems to be still the sa as ever, so I have nothing to say.
At the figure of Echigoya showing a sowhat exhausted appearance, Omoi asked quietly.
Have you really abandoned it? The you of the past that I knew of was soone brimming with strong conviction, you know? To the point of everyone expecting that you would surely be able to stop the influence of those people.
Youre overestimating . My conviction was nothing more than sothing that could be easily dismissed.
Omoi couldnt find the words to say at the sight of Echigoyas self-deprecating figure.
Well, lets let the past be the past. There is a lot we have to do at present, after all. At any rate, Im looking forward to working with you. Omoi Sensei.
Perhaps being considerate. Omoi replied with a smile to Echigoya, who forcefully changed the subject.
Hahaha, thats kind of embarrassing.
Omoi was about to leave the office as he was, but suddenly stopped.
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 cos 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 sothing 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 give you a word of advice. If you want to take advantage of him in any way, you better stop it. He may call his teacher, but hes still the benefactor of 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 ti.
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.
