A room in a certain mansion.
　As if to avoid being seen, there were two figures. They are both men. In front of several piled up boxes, they are quietly exchanging conversations.

''........What's that stuff?
It's here.

　The man asks, and the other answers by placing his hand on the box. The man nods one nod and looks at the contents of the box. He sees that it's packed with what he asked for and grins. He laughs like a bad guy.

''Well okay, it's all in place. Here's the price.''

　The man gradually takes the money out of his bag and hands it to him. The man on the receiving end of the money looks at it with a delicate expression on his face - and

"...no, why do you give off the vibe that you're dealing in bad drugs? It's normal material, it's perfectly healthy.

　Seth says dismissively to Wraith, who is smirking and laughing in front of him. With those words, the atmosphere broke down and Wraith lost his smile as well.

''I'm not in a good groove... Can't I have some more of a reaction?''
Not good. It's more of a problem if something goes wrong.
It's going to be tough on the next master.
You did.

　Despite the lighthearted banter, there is no malice there. With a clear expression on his face, he cowers even with his shoulders.

''More importantly, is this really enough for you?''
'Yeah, I'm fine. I mean the store, but it's not even open yet, so that's all we're going to do for now.
'It's okay if...'

　The reason why Lace went all the way to Seth's house today was to receive the materials that he had promised when the royal family asked him to do so. Since the guild's review has been passed with flying colors, this is the first step in the preparations for creating the product.

'Just how are you going to get this back, Wraith?
I'm fine. I'm fine.

　Wraith took the loaded box and went into the bag. Then, as if ignoring its mass, the box was sucked into the bag with a chuckle.

　It's a slightly uncanny sight.

''How very Wraith-like........''
Hmm?
'No, it's nothing...'

　Chuckling, Seth continued to watch Wraith pack the box into the bag - and suddenly, in the middle of it all, a knock sounded in the room. Without a second thought, Wraith stopped his work and looked at the door.

　Seth had told the servants not to come to this room today, so no one should be visiting.

'Who is it?'　........this is not good, if this deal becomes public.......!
That's still going on...

　Seth, mixed with a bitter smile, opens the door to find Leesha, a girl with gray hair like Seth's, standing there. Seth rolled his eyes at the sudden appearance of his sister.

''What's the matter.......''

　Before Seth can finish, Leesha pushes him away as if to say she has no use for you.

　As Leesha marches into the room, she catches sight of Wraith, who is stuffing boxes into a bag.
　He gives her a deliberately impatient look and lets out a small whimper. I've been seen where I shouldn't be seen - that's the kind of reaction I have.

　That's not actually the case at all, but Wraith is showing a high level of acting ability that is unnecessary. It created a tense atmosphere and made her eyes swim as if she was looking for an escape route.

　When Leisha saw this, she held her hand over her mouth in surprise and then glared at Seth with a snap.

'If you ask me that your brother was with someone you're not familiar with.......brother, when did you start doing this...!
What does this mean...?

　He panics as to what he would have done to be choked up, but of course such memories don't exist. Seth is confused as the unprovoked anger is directed at him.

　Leesha stuffs Seth, who doesn't understand what's going on, and points to the Wraith.

'Please don't dwell on it!　You had to have made a deal with that man that you couldn't make public!
'Wait, I think I'm making a fatal mistake...'

　He didn't think he'd heard Wraith's words.

　Arriving at that conclusion, Seth hurriedly tried to clear up the misunderstanding. But before Seth could open his mouth, Wraith sniffed with an evil smile on his face.

'If they found out, I don't blame them. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to get out of here.'

　Seeing Wraith, who is bracing himself as it were, Leesha is completely alert. To Seth, who knows what's going on, though, it's only seen as a farce. Nevertheless, to Risha, Wraith is seen as someone who is making a dangerous deal with her brother.

''Lace is also not nice........''

　Once he gives up on Leesha, Seth tries to move to stop Leith's bad ride, which he can talk about. This time, Leisha takes action.

'I won't let you get away!'

　Leesha, who reached out her hand towards Pin and Wraith, activated her magic as if it was flowing.

''Eh, hey...!

　There was a gust of wind in the room and Wraith was helplessly blown away and crashed into the wall. As it was, the Wraith fell to the floor with no effort. Looking at the fact that she occasionally lets out a moan, she must have fainted.

''..........''

　Seth looks at the unconscious Wraith with an indescribable expression on his face.
　Since he was also responsible for this happening, he couldn't feel sorry for her in any way.

　If I had properly cleared up the misunderstanding, this wouldn't have happened. Maybe I should only praise that spirit of being able to joke around with the four great aristocrats, though.

　If you say it was typical of Wraith, it was typical of Wraith.

''My brother can't make an excuse either, you know. I'll have him tell you everything.''

　Seth can't help but smile dryly when he sees Leesha's uncanny expression. It's already hilarious when he's so brilliantly mistaken.

What are you smiling about?
No, I'm sorry. I'm just laughing. ....And that guy who's down over there is my friend, so please don't do anything more to him.
You'll have to excuse me again...

　Leesha thinks she's making excuses, but she turns her skeptical gaze on her brother.

'No, it's the truth,'
Are you sure?
Yes, really.

　When Seth admonishes her with a blissfully serious voice tone and expression, Lisha's face suddenly turns red. She must have recalled her own statement.

''Why didn't you tell me earlier!
Well, I tried to tell you, but he's playing tricks on me.

　Seth turned his gaze to Wraith, who was still down. Leesha also looked at Wraith as she remembered.

''Doh, what should I do...''

　A look of panic, which is unusual for the firm Leesha. Even if Leith was wrong, she had blasted her brother's friend with magic. A sense of guilt also arises.

　Leesha runs up to the fallen Wraith.

''Ah, um, are you alright?''

　Lace slowly lifted her eyelids as Leesha called out modestly. After checking her body's condition, she stood up and lightly exhaled.

''I thought I was going to die, rather...''
Because you're playing a prank. I tried to stop you.

　Without a word to reply to the dumbfounded Seth, Lace groaned gingerly. Then he noticed Leisha standing beside him.

'Um, I'm sorry I didn't know you were my brother's friend!

　Leesha lowers her head with such force that it makes a bang. It's an action that clearly shows her sincere character.
　However, this time it's Wraith's fault for getting into a bad mood.

''No it's my fault and it's okay. I'm sorry for joking around on my part.

　Leesha looks clearly relieved.

'You're right, Seth's favorite sister, right? I'm Lace, nice to meet you.
I love...?
Hey, don't talk like that...

　He gives Wraith a resentful look, but he doesn't seem to care about it. It's a bitter expression, as there's no denying that Seth has a slightly cis-controlled side to him as well.

''Well, now that we've got the materials, I guess it's time for me to go.

　Wraith took the bag left on the floor and went to the door.

'See you then, Seth. See you later.
Yeah, just try to be normal this time.
I'll do my best.

　With that, Wraith disappeared.
　Seth sighed with a sigh of relief.

''That's Wraith-san, huh........well, he's an odd one, isn't he?
'Yes, a guy who's a lot of different, both in terms of ability and personality.
