--Orba Trading Company Headquarters.

　Carrying in and out miscellaneous goods.
　This place is very active, but Futa feels that it is less energetic than the last time he was here.

I've been following the kid and this is what I get.
"That's why I told you from the beginning, don't leave the job to the kid.
Oh, the Orba Chamber of Commerce is weeping.


　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a little nervous about this.

...... Oh no. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm here.
"Hello, Mr. Wind. Hello, Mr. Wind. ...... Not a very good vibrancy, is it?
"It was the Chairman himself who ordered them to turn their swearing into power and induce them to do business. But I'm sure that's what they really meant. It doesn't change the fact that the country was dealt a painful blow as a result of being played by a child no older than a year old.
I see.
It's just...

　But," he continued, watching the heavy comings and goings of the house.

The person who made the business association grow to this level is none other than the chairman himself. Originally, we were a small business association that couldn't even set up store in the capital. To the newcomers, it must have looked like a bunch of kids sitting on their butts.
You respect Pasta, don't you, Mr. Wind?
Yes, I do. I owe him a lot.
That was his next alias.
Oh, I see. That's a delicious name. Chairman Pasta.

　The reason why Huta had come all the way to this place was to tell Wind about Beatrix's new alias.

　Other executives would be told directly by Beatrix herself, but Wind was just a bouncer.
　He could not follow Beatrix, and it would be unfair for him to leave, so he continued to stay at the Orba Chamber of Commerce.

　That's why Huta came to tell the bouncer Wind, whom Beatrix only liked personally, in person.

　Wind closed his eyes a little, as if he had something on his mind, but that was about it.

I'm not going to stand around and talk, so please come over here. My daughter is visiting me today.
Your six-year-old daughter?
Yes, she's very pretty. I don't want her to get hit by a shipping wagon. Come here.
Oh, wait a minute.

　Huta suddenly realized something.
　Something's wrong. There was something wrong with the way Wind had been talking to Futa. Because there was another person with him today.

　When I turned around in a panic, there was a maid-type blank.

"Huh?　Where did she go?
What's wrong?
No, my companion...

　The moment you look around in panic. Futa spotted a maid wielding a young child on top of a warehouse attached to the mansion.

　Wind went crazy.

"Ruri, Ruri, Ruri, ！！！！












　--The parlor of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

"Your twirling was fun!
"Oh, well, ...... no, as long as Luli had fun, it's fine with Dad. ......

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and what you need to do to get it.

　Her puffy cheeks were healthy and gave the impression that she was relaxed.

Why did you do that on the roof?
"I was just trying to cheer you up.
What do you mean?

　What do you mean?" She sticks out her tongue, and a little girl named Ruri sticks her tongue out in front of her as well.

I was chasing my dad and I fell down. My sister picked me up and twirled me around to get rid of the sand.
"Well, that's good to know, Luli. ......

　A completely useless Wind and a happy Luli.
　And Corona next to her.

　Futa's head was in his hands.

There's no reason for you to be on the roof.
It's all in the mood, you know. It's an open and bright office!
First of all, this is not your workplace.

　It's not your workplace.　Ruri smiled and said, "Shukubaku! I'll be back.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that. Continue on your path, Mei.
"Follow the path.
Wait, wait, wait. This gifted education is not good.

　I'm sure you've heard of it.
　Even Futa failed to ask what the Meido was in the first place.



　I'm going to go through with it.　It's a good idea to keep your eyes on the road. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and how you're going to get there.

"Oh ...... my daughter is so cute .......
Oh my god .......

　A mature gentleman, a bouncer, a worthy predecessor.
　This is how Futa perceived him, but the trust he had built up in him began to crumble with a rattle.

　She had a vision of a maid collecting the pile of broken trust with a broom.

But you look really healthy.

　What was surprising to Futa was that his six-year-old daughter, Ruri, looked like a healthy six-year-old in every way.


"I have a six-year-old daughter.

Until recently, she was sickly and weak and desperately in need of money to pay for even a single pill. I've done everything for her. I killed, I stole.


　I could imagine that she was healthy now because she had said that she had been sick until recently, but even so, she seemed like an innocent girl who had nothing to do with illness.

"Yes. --Well, that's why I'm devoting myself to the Orba Chamber of Commerce.
Well...
My wife died back home. My wife died in my hometown. I was left to raise her by myself, and I had no idea how to raise a child. I had no one to turn to and people resented me for it. ...... I could not give my daughter enough happiness.

　I'm sorry.
　I'm sure you're not the only one.
　His trajectory of imitation was that of an accomplished killer. I don't know much about his "profession", but I'm pretty sure he's a warrior who's more interested in killing than fighting.

　He was even picked up by the Orba Trading Company for raiding a trading party, so I guessed that he had always been able to make a living by killing.

The Orba Chamber of Commerce, which surrendered on the condition that the child's safety would be guaranteed, was a blessing in disguise for me. Beato, the chairman of Pasta, took care of my daughter in one word: security. She said that the best people deserve the best conditions.
What, Pasta took care of her?
No way. She's a very busy woman.
Of course not.
But I understand that she has arranged for five attendants for my daughter and many other things to make sure she grows up healthy.

　I've heard that he has made various arrangements for her to have five 'attendants' and to raise her in good health.

"I hate you, Beato. ......
"What, you didn't apologize for what you did?
"No?　No. No. No. It's scary and harsh.
See you later.

　I don't know what they're making me do.

I see. ...... Pasta. ......
Yes, the pasta chairman.

　While she was saying pasta pasta, Corona was playing with Luli - with Luli?　I'm sure the chairman will be...

"I'm sure the chairman--

　I'm sure the chairman--" Wind muttered quietly, looking lovingly at his beloved daughter as the maid played with her cheek. Then she shook her head.

"No, sir, it's nothing. It's nothing. I look forward to working with you and your daughter.
"No, thank you.
"By the way...

　"By the way..." Wind asked, as if it had just occurred to him.

What's with the pasta?
It's ...... why?


　You can't say it's because you have a body shape that makes it easy to boil pasta (like a skillet).



Futa and the others didn't know it at the time. They didn't know that they would have to take care of Ruri together.
