41. Farewell and setting off, Tomoki on his way to corruption

A few days later at the golden highway teleportation circle, two middle-age men and a beautiful woman wearing a cloak are facing each other.

Both men are really surprised at the beauty Ei(Puppet double) possess and Rembrandt asks, " I thought you were cursed Miss Ei?"

" Beauty can be both a blessing and a curse Mr. Rembrandt, my father(lol) made me wear the mask and he told me that I can remove it if I am strong enough to protect myself against scum who preys on the weak." Ei answered Rembrandt's question.

Rembrandt nods and coughs a bit to change the topic, " About the enrollment in Rotsgard Academy, are you ok with the arrangements that I made?"

Ei shook her head and says, " It is fine Mr. Rembrandt, going to a place of learning is never an inconvenience rather its a chance to those who wants to change their path in life by acquiring knowledge. Knowledge is power in another form after all, and as a merchant if you didn't have knowledge would you still be as successful as you are today?"

Both men widened their eyes at the words of wisdom from the lady in front of them as Rembrandt smiles at Ei and says, " You are certainly correct Miss Ei, knowledge is one of the foundations needed in every profession. I apologize for worrying over nothing. My daughters will also return to the academy as well after fully recovering, so I hope you can get along with them well Miss Ei."

" Of course, I hope they will recover as fast as possible. As for business you don't have to worry about Jean, she's a formidable one in business. I ordered her to make a business plan where mine and yours will not clash but instead help one another lifting each other up, as for security Jean herself is a high leveled individual and also has bodyguard secretly protecting her."

Rembrandt nods in understanding while Moris is worried as he observe Jean from time to time, and he didn't notice any hidden escorts around Jean. Ei made puppets for Jean whose only mission is to protect Jean and everything related to the Narukami company, but they serve as a trump card to be used only when the employees themselves can no longer handle the threat.

After Ei left, Rembrandt and Moris discussed as to how his predictions are always wrong when it comes to Ei and her background always eludes Moris no matter how deep he investigates. They have also experienced firsthand as to why Ei needs to wear a mask and to distort her voice as the people around them gets easily attracted to Ei's beauty and her voice that carries authority which is far more higher compared to royalty, a charisma like no other hence why they both sighed in relief like they exhausted themselves.

" It is best to no longer dig anymore my friend, otherwise our friendly relationship with her and her group will sour." Rembrandt said with a firm tone.

Moris understands and bows as a proper butler should.

Then they talked about more serious matters such as the gag order from Mr. Fals who is the head of the Adventurers' Guild which conveniently stopped the inquiries from the Aion kingdom about Ei, Tomoe and Mio.

Moris talked about the events related to the hero of Gritonia Tomoki, and how he is related to the second princess' hidden diabolic research.

(note: about Tomoki's charm eye? no worries cuz Ei will do something about it. I HATE SICK ABILITIES THAT CAN BRAINWASH A PERSON AFTER ALL, I HATE NTR, BLACKMAIL, HYPNOSIS AND ANYTHING THAT MAKES PEOPLE DO AGAINST THEIR WILL AND DESTROYS A FAMILY!!! oops my dark thoughts are leaking out hehehe.)
