Chapter 706: Intermission: Anima ~ ~ The Friend She Acquired ~ ~ (1/2)

Dressed in her usual military-style outfit, Anima returned to Kaito's newly built house.

Just as she walked through the front door, Caraway appeared to greet her.

[Welcome back, Anima.]

[Yeah, I've returned…… Has Master returned yet?]

[He's not back yet, but I think he'll be back soon.]

[I see……]

After nodding at  Caraway's words, walking down the hallway with each other side by side, Anima spoke.

[Cara, after I deal with some documents, I will consult with Master for something. In the meantime, could you draw up contracts for me?]

[Unnn? Roger that. Does that mean you're going to invest in the Trading Company you saw today?]

[They're very active and the new products they plan to produce aren't bad. The company's policies are also stable, so I have no problem investing in them.]

Taking out a document from her magic box, Anima nonchalantly showed it to Caraway as she explained. The fact that she calls Caraway by a nickname suggests that they have a close relationship.

[Fumufumu, I had been thinking about the amount of investment and conditions earlier, but would this be alright?]

[That's no problem. Since it's you, it shouldn't take too long to draw up one…… If you have any extra time, I'd like you to help Eta and Theta with theirs.]

[I'm glad you trust me that much. Roger that too. Theta has Illness-sama with her, so is it alright if I prioritize helping Eta first?]

At the moment, Eta was helping Zwei as she prepared the venue, while Theta was preparing the food for the party with Ein and Illness.

[Yes, I really appreciate the help from Ein-dono and Zwei-dono, but this is a party that Master is hosting. I don't think we can leave everything to the two of them.]

[Right. Ahh, that's right. The souvenirs you asked me to give to the guests arrived safely. No problem with the quantity or quality.]

[I see, did you bag them individually?]

[They're done. They're also arranged in the storage room.]

[……That's great.]

Caraway isn't only physically capable, but she is also quite good at other things. As she was originally a peerage-holding Demon, she possesses a high level of physical ability and dexterity, so she can do everything with ease.

In that sense, she was someone whom Anima could entrust with work without worry.

[It's finally tomorrow huh. With all the big names on the invitation list, as expected, I'm quite nervous.]

[……You're right. However, I'm sure Master would also be nervous about hosting a party for the first time. For the sake of Master, we have to hold strong…… I have high expectations of you, Cara.]

[Of course, I'll do my best. Ahh~~ but since I've got lots of instructions, I'd like to ask something in return~~]

[……What is it? Tell me.]

Anima let out a light sigh when she saw a slightly teasing smile appear on Caraway's lips, as if she had come up with something in the middle of their conversation.
