'I never thought I'd meet a Japanese person!　I'd already given up!　Did you also trip into this world, Mr. Reverse Hagiography?　Are there other Japanese people in this world?

　He must have been really moved by it.
　As soon as I met him, Ishidou Yuya leaned forward at the table and asked me a bunch of questions.
　As expected of me, I can't help but laugh.

Youya. If you say all that at once, my client will be in trouble.
'Oh, yes. I'm sorry.

　When the beautiful girl sorcerer next to her chided him, Yuya honestly bowed his head with a pettiness.

''No, don't worry about it. I've been summoned to this other world too. I don't know if there are any other Japanese people here.

　Maintaining his sales smile and waving his hand, Yuya looks up and his eyes light up.

''That's right. But since you're here, Sakagagi-san, maybe there are others!　It's a dream come true.

　At this point, I shifted my gaze towards the beautiful girl magician, pretending to be natural.

''Come to think of it, I hadn't heard the name of that young lady over there.
"...Philly.

　The beautiful girl sorcerer who called herself Philly seemed to be a little wary of me suddenly talking to her.
　It matches the outfit I heard about. There's no doubt that this is Zado's sister.

　She was probably in high school when she was Yuya's age, still immersed in her own fantasy world.
　She's not that tall, but her body isn't bad, as if she had been doing martial arts.
　My first impression of him is that he's a young man dreaming of another world, but he's not as shaken up as Chi-Bo.
　For better or worse, he looks normal.

　But if you look at these two with an appraising eye....

''Yuya, we need to talk business.
Oh, that's right.

　Philly prompted Yuya to come to his senses.
　He smiles at her.

'So, how can I help you?'

　Now, let's try to follow Zado's plan from here.

''It's about three days south of this city. We're going to continue on the road, and halfway into the forest, there's a tiered dungeon. I want to get the treasure that lies in that final subterranean level.
Yeah, dungeon!

　Yuya's bite is good.
　He has experience in dungeon conquest, and he must be diving.

''........What is that treasure?''
'Sorry, but I can't tell you. I don't want you telling me off for refusing a job.

　I shook my head in mockery and Philly was miffed when I refused to answer the question.
　Of course I don't really want the treasure, so I don't know what's in it or anything.

As for the other treasures found in the dungeon, they're all yours. You're going to escort me to the innermost part of the dungeon until I get my hands on the treasure and that's the request. Even if the treasure is damaged or missing, you will be paid unless there is no fault of yours. Here's the contract.

　I finish saying it all at once and slide the parchment across the table.
　The content that Zadoh set up until he lured me into the dungeon is what Zadoh set up, and from here to the dungeon is my improvisation.

''What........what's this reward!　Twenty carats of diamonds as of the advance!
Yeah, sorry about that. I don't have any right now, and I'd like to pay you in jewels.

　I cowered my shoulders without taking offense to Yuya, who looked over the contract and was looking up at it.
　Zado also had very little gold, so I offered him the jewelry I had on hand.
　In most other worlds, diamonds are traded at a high price, and as far as Yuya's reaction is concerned, it shouldn't be a problem.

''No, I can't believe you paid for such an amazing thing up front...Where on earth did you get it? That's what I'm more interested in.

　Yuya looks up and smiles at me.
　At first glance, it's a smile that seems to have no backstory or carefree attitude.
　But.........

I'm sorry, but it was the client's wish. That part is a secret. At least it's not a crime or anything, so don't worry about it.

　Philly glared at me with a zit-eyed stare, as if she didn't like the fact that I'd strayed from the question again.

'Yuya, these guys are fishy.'
Hey, Philly. I'm in front of my client.

　Yuya followed up as quickly as he could, but Philly's attitude didn't change.
　Seeing that, I let out a deliberate sigh.　

'The reason why I picked you guys 'Kizuna of Dawn' is because there are Japanese people just like me, and I thought I could trust them based on their reputation. If your people can't keep a secret, I'll take this conversation elsewhere.
'No, wait!　I'll do this job!

　As I try to get up from my seat, Yuya struggles to stop me.

''Yuya!''
I'll be fine.

　Yuya smiles at the protesting filly and smiles at her.

'If Yuya says so...'

　Then Philly broke off quickly with a blush on her cheeks.

'Well, nice to meet you.'
My pleasure!

　I smiled and held out my hand here and there.
　We shook hands and went to put together a contract.
　Since I signed the contract, it means that Yuya has accepted the official request through the Adventurer's Guild.

''By the way, is the woman behind you the escort?''

　Here, Yuya suddenly looked at Sianne, who was standing behind me.

''No, she's my wife.''
Wha...?

　Cianne exclaims at my introduction.

'Here, say hello,'

　I grinned and smirked, and Cianne opened her mouth, gritting her teeth as she said, "Remember that later.

'Sa, I'm Sianne, Sakahagi's wife. Nice to meet you........

　Oh, you don't deny it.
　And you even put on a badly made smile.
　I guess I've become a full-fledged delinquent, Cianne.
　Sullenly.

''I see. It's nice to meet you, Cianne!

　Yuya smiled at her as he had just smiled at her.
　At that moment.



''........You. What did you just do to me?



　Roughly.
　Sianne wore a murderous look on her face.

''Well we're going to be together for a while now, so I thought I'd say hello to you in hopes of getting to know you.

　Yuya is puzzled.
　He has a look on his face, not knowing why he's offended.

'Yuya, step back,'

　This situation also makes Philly ready for the wand and threatens Cianne.
　But Sianne's anger doesn't subside.

'Answer me. What have you done?!
"Cyanne.

　Sianne gasped.
　My voice was quiet and flat in tone.
　That's why I didn't say anything with or without it.

'Don't do it,'

　I'll explain later.
　When I stopped him with those nuances, Sianne stepped back with a stern expression on her face.
　Yuya is sweating under the pressure of Sianne. He is in a state where he has managed to stand with his weight resting on the table.
　It's not a bad idea to have a good time with your friends.

　I dare to ignore the situation and try to force the conversation.

I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning at the south gate, if that's okay with you?
Yeah, yeah.
Come on, Cyanne.

　After confirming Yuya's nod, we left the room at a fast pace.



　.........Huh, that was close.
　I thought Sianne was going to destroy everything.

　But still, I thought it was an otherworldly tripper from the name, but I see.
　And now it looks like my sister's NTR isn't just Zado's paranoia either.
　Sianne must have instinctively guessed what he was about to do to her.
　It's natural to get mad, so I don't blame her.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what I'm talking about when you're on the road to the inn through the crowd.

'I need to ask you something.'
I know.

　He responded by lightly raising his hand without looking back.

'You saw those two with an appraising eye, didn't you?

　Feeling a hint of Sianne's nod of approval, I urge her onward.

'What did you see?'
The man's head and the woman's head were connected like a thread.

　Yeah, yeah, you can see the essence of it properly.
　It's an appraisal eye cheat that can see through magic waves, cheat abilities, and weaknesses, but other than the true name, it doesn't kindly give you a character display to tell you.
　It takes knowledge and experience to know the meaning of what you see.
　I had a lot of trouble understanding it, too. With Sianne, I can teach her directly, which saves me a lot of trouble.

　Sianne's story goes on.

'And right after that man laughed at me, that thread started to grow on me, and I burned up in the process. I didn't know what he had done to me, but I felt a chill run down my spine... what the hell was that?

　I look back over my shoulder and see Cianne stirring herself up.
　He paused once in the middle of the traffic to announce the nature of his discomfort.

'It's Nicopoetito.'
Nicopo?

　Cianne's eyes swam at the words that didn't translate in the translation cheat.

'If you smile, it stands for poof. The simple explanation of the effect is the ability to 'make the person you're laughing at fall in love with you'.

　In fact, it's not such an easy ability. For now, it will pass.
　In fact, Cianne is actually giving off a disturbing feeling. Passersby, who had been admiring her appearance, looked away in a hurry.


'You will. By the way, the thread that stretched across you is a line to synchronize your consciousness. The reason the thread burned up in the middle is because you're under my protection. The effects of fascination and brainwashing won't work on my wife.

　So I included a reassurance and resumed my steps.
　Thanks to Sianne, the human wall has been cracked open, making it easier to walk.

'Then that woman, Philly or something like that...'
Yeah, Nicopotito's in control.

　From Zado's story, we can predict how it all came about.
　Philly was supposed to be the bra-conscious girl, but when she met Yuya, he made her fall in love with him through Nikopochito.
　When Yuya found out about Zado's bad behavior, he made Philly, who knew what was going on inside, betray him and fall for him.

'Hmph!　So that man Yuya is a devil. Just like you!
Well, I'm not so sure about that one.

　Well, I'm sure Cianne is right about me being a demon.

Well, we'll find out soon enough. Well, we'll find out soon enough if he's got a real face.
