Chapter 17 (1/2)

「U-n、what should I do？」

Haruto was troubled seeing the three letters。Crossing his arms, he wrinkled his brows。It’s the wind that really worries him。

「Haruto-san、I finished washi+ng my body。Next is Haruto-san……are you still worried？What on Earth is it？」

Roa asked Haruto who had been suffering for an hour。

「Well、it’s a letter froene, Adonis, and Branch……please read it。」

Roa received the three letters fro it。

The letter froene is an invitation to a buffet party。The letter fro party。The letter froic tool exhibition。

「Uwa~、This is a bit……。The content seems suspicious。The intention to pull Haruto-san to their camp is obvious。」

Roa frowned。

However、there was a temperature difference between the three letters。

The letter fro you way The letter from Branch is『I would appreciate it if you come。』but the pressure is felt。Adonis is『I want you to co。

「Eugene-san wants to entirely hold Haruto-san。We have a connection to Branch to so to steal away Haruto-san。On the other hand, Adonis seems to want to build a relationshi+p。」

「A h！」

「But both of you are men……」

He laughed bitterly。

「So then、what do you think we should do？」

「For noho is the person closest to Haruto-san’s political intentions？」

When Roa says so、Haruto answers a little worried。

「I see……is it Branch？It would be better if the prices of olives don’t go up。」

「Then it’s detero to Branch-san’s place。」

When Roa says so、Haruto made a scowl。

「What to do with Eugene？It’s a relationshi+p where we’re tied firh debt。」

「Is it not okay if you go to Eugene-san’s place？」

「No、I’d feel bad if I went to both。」

Haruto remembered the story of the bat in Aesop’s fables。

In the old days、birds and ani。The bat asserts that it’s a bird when the birds have the advantage、then argued that it’s an animal when the beasts benefited。In the end, the birds and animals reconciled The bat who hasn’t chosen any sides until the end was removed from either side。

「It wouldn’t be fun, but I would not co to any ca to one side。It’s okay unless you make a clear betrayal。」

Roa affirms。All three people are not children。And their profession is a merchant。They only participate in state affairs since it’s necessary、they’re not interested in politics any more than that。

「Then it’s okay if we go to all three？」

「Rather if you went to only one person、it’s better if you didn’t go at all。」

Roa is confident。Although a little worried about so of being popular。

If you go to formal events then you need decent clothes。Haruto and Roa naturally do not have those things and so have to purchase it。Haruto tried to finish it with cheap clothes、but was stopped by Roa。

「People who understand can tell it’s cheap at a glance。If you do not buy proper clothes, you’ll be looked down on。」

Haruto was convinced of it。Although hu you can wear、since you don’t know the inside of a person, it’s natural to judge by appearance。

Which is ent to a fae glass h class。

Haruto is not familiar with formalwear and threw the h-end shop, he didn’t change his expression at all while choosing clothes and gave it to Haruto。

Because I won’t know until I wear it, he tried on the clothes。

「It suits you、Haruto-san。」

「Really？」

Wearing fashi+onable clothes and looking at himself reflected on the mirror、Haruto put on a wry face。Not bad。But whether it suits him is another matter。Oh well、there is no problem if he looked the part。

「Well then、I’ll take this。」

「Yes、that’ll be 120 thousand Doria。」

Recently、Haruto’s paralysis aboutabout anything in particular。

As they left the store、Roa turned to Haruto。

「Well then、noe’ll go to buy a dress。」

「N？Will you also attend？」

Roa is shy。He felt like a buffet party is not suitable。

「At the party、 women as their partners。Some will also hire women。」

Haruto is not faree。

In reality、what Roa said is only half-true and half-wrong。First of all, there are no people ould hire women。At the same time, rather than partners as a companion、it’s correct to say partners This partner, of course, refers to athe moat。

The two people headed to a dress shop at once。

The atmosphere of this shop is the sa troubled。

「It would be nice if it suits the body。」

She looks happy。Because the dress is what adult women would hen a child wears it, it would be hard to wear by all ht and breast had a rapid growth recently。The chest size is approaching C。

「Haruto-san？What’s wrong？」

Haruto as indulging at how the dress suits Roa returned to his senses seeing Roa look back at him。

「You、perhaps you’ve worn a dress before？」

Roa dressed perfectly in that dress。Just because the body grew、it usually doesn’t mean they can dress up properly。And it see the dress。

「E~(yes)、because ressman。I attended parties several times。」

Roa wasto Roa’s circuht that at most they’ll be a member of the Chamber of Commerce。

「I see……、why don’t you teach me manners later？」

「E~(yes)、alright。Oh well、the buffet party is not so where you have to worry so much about ettiquette。」

Roa laughed and said that。

「Now then、next is shoes。」

He noticed after being told so。Although the thing that Haruto is wearing now is easy to walk in、it’s not suitable to wear to the party。

「The most crucial ele around。If possible it should be easy to walk around in、high-class iteood。People with eyes will look at the shoes more than the clothes。」

Roa says so proudly。Haruto nodded as if he understood。

「Let’s go buy shoes right away。Please wear it froet used to it。」

Roa said bossily。

It was the day of the buffet party。

「Haruto-san、are you sure you haven’t forgotten anything？」

「Ah、I’m fine。」

They head for the venue。

The venue is big、 a meal。

「Oh、Asuma！You came！」

Eugene ca the moment he found Haruto

「Manyconnections with people is important。Do it firmly。Of course enjoy the party too。」

With Eugene saying so、hebeside Haruto。

「Etto~(um)……are you sure……。」

「I’ot Haruto-san to release it。」

Roa s。They are quite alike。

「I see、so it’s Roa Samaras。I am sorry。Still, it’s released……e~。」

Eugene looked at Haruto while grinning。Haruto does not knohy Eugene issuch a smile so he tilted his head unconsciously。

「Even so, getting it on with a for of Samaras……By any chance…。」

Eugene murmured。Because it was in a small voice、it didn’t reach Haruto and Roa’s ears。

「Oi、Roa Samaras。Did you mean……」

「Are you Asuma by any chance？」

At the sa man called out to Haruto。

「This is Malthus-san。Thank you for inviting ？」

Thea hand。

「No、we just finished talking just now。Then I’ll let you go。Please enjoy the party by all means。」

Eugene left after that。

「hello。My name is……」

Haruto started talking with the athered many people ant to come and speak to Haruto。

It o hours later that Haruto and Roa was released。

「Well~、that was a……。」

「It was the first time in my life since I was born。I feel like a 90-year-old man。」

Actually、so to speak with Haruto, but Roa repulsed and glared at them。

「Now then, I’lass of wine and dishes on your left？」

「Yes、that’s right。It’s after this As the ed in order from the appetizers, please take them in order。」

Haruto eats the food as taught by Roa。

「N！Delicious。It seems to be expensive。」

「I agree。」

Roa says so while drinking wine。Haruto picked up the wine glass from Roa in a hurry。

「Mu！」
