Chapter 274 – Episode 32. Seryu Military Company Picnic.
“… Something like that happened.”
I told Rinka Fujigasaki the story of purchasing Alrik and his trainees from a slave trader. Rinka Fujigasaki listened to the story with a serious expression, nodding his head, and then hugged Alik, who was attached to one of my arms.
“Aww, so cute~!”
“Right…”
Rinka Fujigasaki hugged her tightly, rubbing her own cheek against Alrik’s. Alric frowned as if uncomfortable, but still did not push Rinka Fujigasaki away and stayed still.
Because she knew that Rinka Fujigasaki was an acquaintance of mine, she seemed to stay still even though she was uncomfortable.
“Ah! Investors! Why did you come to the training center instead of waiting at the pension?”
Azuma Sawa Yanagi came up to me after finishing her speech. She must have prepared to go to the pension in advance and was somewhat dressed. However, since he was wearing the same green field jacket that Alrik was wearing, I felt like he belonged to the PMC.
“It looks like there won’t be enough cars, so I’m going to help. “This person here is my teacher, Mr. Fujigasaki.”
“Oh, really? “That Mr. Fujigasaki?”
When I introduced Rinka Fujigasaki, who was still rubbing Aleek’s cheek, Azuma Sawayanagi asked me in surprise. Although he looked too dignified to be considered the world’s best fighter, Azuma Sawayanagi seemed very surprised.
“You know it when you see it.”
“This is my first time seeing a celebrity like this in person!”
It was natural for Azuma Sawayanagi to be surprised. In terms of possession, it’s like going out with a friend and your friend brings Messi to you, saying he’s your soccer teacher.
However, Azuma Sawa Yanagi doesn’t seem to be a fan of Rinka Fujigasaki, so she didn’t make a fuss about it. Is she just surprised to meet a celebrity? That was exactly the reaction.
“My student made an investment, right?”
“Yes. In fact, it is an acquisition, but the investor does not have a license, so I am taking responsibility as a CEO.”
“I see. “This guy is quite loose, so please take care of him.”
Hmm, I don’t think I’m loose. While Azuma Sawayanagi and Rinka Fujigasaki were talking, Alric escaped from Rinka Fujigasaki’s arms and hid behind me.
“Ahh! “The cutie ran away!”
“Alik, you’re not cutie. “Alrik is Alrik.”
After Rinka Fujigasaki and Alic were bickering, Azuma Sawayanagi and Mikiyo Sawayanagi went to get their own tea. In front of us, the trainees who had completed all their training were standing and looking at Rinka Fujigasaki.
The trainees all knew of Rinka Fujigasaki, but had no fans, as they all went through a difficult childhood where TV was a luxury and were sold by her parents to work as slave traders.
The two executives of Seryutai brought a car. Azuma Sawayanagi’s car was a regular car, but the car Mikiyo Sawayanagi brought was a small compact car, so if I hadn’t come, I would have had to ride in a crowd of people.
Since it was the last day, the trunk was full of luggage due to unpacking at the training center, and it must have been even tighter because we had to leave the luggage in the passenger compartment.
“I’ll take Darim and Alrik in my car.”
“Okay, see you at the pension, investor!”
I decided to take them both in my car because I would be responsible for them once they finished their training camp.
After completing the training center, Darim Jeong planned to send her to university through donation. Since there are related characteristics, if you have the knowledge you learned at university, you will definitely be able to achieve good results.
I’ll leave Alric to Chieri Mimata to take agent classes. In addition, Chieri Mimata said that she would take lessons from a prestigious family that served as servants to the historic Japanese imperial family, so Alrik will be able to become the maid she wants.
I put the three of us in the car and headed to the pension we had reserved. Alric sat in the passenger seat next to me as if running away from Rinka Fujigasaki, and Darim Jeong and Rinka Fujigasaki rode in the back seat.
Rinka Fujigasaki said, straightening Jeong Darim’s cheek. Darim Jeong was still entrusting the ball to Rinka Fujigasaki with a detached expression. As expected, it was Jeong Darim’s response that interest was low unless it was a plant.
“Is he cute too?”
“Master, why do you suddenly like cute things like this?”
I don’t think it was like that in the past. The Fujigasaki Rinka I remember was a passionate girl who only knew martial arts, so she is a little different now.
“When I’m in nature, I don’t often see cute things. In particular, the more I learn shinkaiyatsude, the more small animals run away when they see me.”
Certainly, learning the abyss increases the sense of intimidation. Sometimes the enemies you face are terrified. Smaller animals would feel that sense of danger more. He said he did it because he liked the vivid(?) Cute things he had seen for the first time in a long time.
“I think it’s over there”
I pointed to a building that looked quite large and had a unique Western-style mansion feel to it. There was a road leading down to the valley, and there were several cars parked as if we were the first to arrive.
“Welcome, are you from Seryu Military Company?”
When we got out of the car, an old couple who seemed to be the owners welcomed us. Unlike Korean pensions where you can play and eat on your own, Japanese pensions only had a Western-style exterior and felt like hot spring inns.
From what I heard in advance, this pension was also said to have a hot spring bath.
“Are other people who made reservations also coming?”
“Not everyone came, but many people came.”
I see. As we got off and asked the pension owner and his wife, the rest of the people at the training center arrived and got out of the car.
“Those who arrived in advance are waiting in the communal restaurant.”
The time we agreed to meet was 11 o’clock, so it was getting close to meal time. Following the guidance of the owner and his wife, we went to a place called a communal restaurant. They said it could accommodate up to 30 people because there were several tables. Since this outing is about 20 people, it must be quite spacious.
As the owner and his wife said earlier, not everyone came, but it seemed like the right number of people came when we arrived, perhaps because of the number of people from the training center who had not yet arrived.
There was only one unexpected person, Konoe Akinagawa, who was in a secret struggle with her uncle to become the head of the Konoe family.
Certainly, she was Akina Konoe, who was rescued along with Seryu Tai’s trainees, so they were not unrelated at all.
The trainees, as if they were happy to see Akina Konoe, each approached and greeted her. Akina Konoe smiled brightly at me while greeting the trainees who could be said to be slave traders (?). I also looked at Akina Konoe and nodded her head slightly.
I took Rinka Fujigasaki to the place where the Seryu Tai people were gathered. Since Rinka Fujigakashi is an uninvited guest, I should introduce her. I told you in advance that my master was coming, but it’s polite to say hello.
“The person who came here with me is my master, Rinka Fujigasaki.”
“Kyahaha, nice to meet you.”
As expected, everyone who was introduced was momentarily silenced. She seemed embarrassed because she was so famous.
“P, L, I’m a fan… !”
Junichi Katayama, a member of the martial arts faction within Seryutai, greeted Rinka Fujigasaki while stuttering. Starting with Junichi Katayama’s greeting, people from Seryutai rushed to Rinka Fujigasaki and began asking for permission to take a picture with her, saying, “I’m a fan.”
Since I just came here without being invited, I have to do this kind of fan service. I left Rinka Fujigasaki, who was looking for help, and went to Chieri Mimata.
“Senior, you came early? “I said I might be late because of East Weapon work.”
“Lol. Since I am the boss, I left it to her subordinates.”
As I looked at Chieri Mimata talking calmly, munching on the bread that seemed to have been prepared ahead of time, I wondered if I could really trust this woman and entrust her with East Weapon.
However, contrary to her loose appearance, she was a meticulous Mimatachieri, so she thought that she had done all her work and sat diagonally in front of Mimatachieri.
“As my junior said, I have completed the work on my friend Darim Jeong’s school. However, in order to enter college through donation admission, you must have a high school diploma, so I decided to pretend to enroll in the second semester of my third year.”
“Couldn’t that school be St. Francis Girls’ School?”
When I asked about Jeong Darim being the third-grader I would take over for no reason, Chieri Mimata shook her head.
“Ahaha, that would be fun, but only girls from really famous families can go there. The minimum is equivalent to the adoption of a famous family. “I couldn’t find someone from a famous family to be my adoptive parent during this short period of time.”
Well, if Mimatachi Eri’s ability is enough to get her admitted, she won’t be able to become the most prestigious women’s school in Japan.
“The research center first purchased a small plot of land in Chiba. “I’m going to ask Darim Jeong what building she wants and build it.”
Since it was resolved in the lab, there was nothing to worry about. Alrik has already become a story.
“Benefactor!”
“You must be Konoe. How have you been?”
She was Akina Konoe, who still called me my benefactor. It seemed like she came to say hello to me after a long time greeting the trainees.
“I got along well thanks to the people my benefactor introduced me to.”
“Then… ?”
“Yes, I am now the head of the Konoe family. “Her mother will act as the head of the family until she graduates from school.”
It seemed like Konoe Akina had won the Konoe family war. That’s amazing. To oust her uncle, who had been in power for a year.
“Can I sit here?”
When Akina Konoe asked, pointing to the seat across from me, I nodded. It’s just a place to eat, so you can sit anywhere.
“Sit as you please.”
“Alrik is here…”
As Akina Konoe sat down across from me, Alic, who was behind her, took a seat next to me. From afar, Azuma Sawayanagi and Lyanna Holden were looking at the surrounding seats with wistful eyes.
