After the event ended.
A certain boss gave Ryuto something.
"Take it. This is a special prize for this event."
"......"
Ryuto couldn't help but take a look.
"What, it's just a whistle."
As Ryuto said, it was a plain silver slender whistle.
"Don't underestimate this thing. Although it looks ordinary, it is actually a legendary whistle!"
Here we go again, so many legendary things. But Ryuto couldn't be bothered to make any sarcastic remarks now, so he just casually agreed.
"Is that so?"
"Judging by your reaction, you don't believe it. But this whistle has a legend."
"......"
A so-called legend became a "legendary whistle." This guy is really funny.
But the boss didn't mind and continued speaking.
"It is said that as long as you make a sincere wish to the whistle, your wish will come true."
"Is this a new product? By the way, there seems to be a wishing tree at the entrance."
"That kind of wishing tree is just a gimmick for businesses to make money. How could it be effective?"
As someone who is rich, you don't seem qualified to say that. And other businesses have at least put in some effort to create a big tree, even if it's just an ordinary one.
But at least they have incurred costs. You're really good at doing business, understanding the concept of low cost and high profit. Is this the reason why you became rich?
"......Let's not discuss that. Why did you give it to me? This shouldn't be my prize."
"Unfortunately, no, just like what I said before, it's for female participants."
"Then why did you give it to me?"
"No need to ask, of course it's for you to give it to her, that's when it will work."
"Is this also a sales tactic? Well, whatever. Even if I gave it to her, she probably wouldn't want it. In fact, I can't think of any reason why she would be interested in this crappy thing."
"Although that is usually the case, but there's something special here."
"Special?"
The boss's words confused Ryuto a little, but he didn't explain further.
"Anyway, that's it. Welcome back anytime."
"Um... I'm just going back now, I won't come again."
Since he's already wanted by this guy, it's not safe to go to other places either. Ryuto made this declaration and headed towards the exit.
Tensyoin Miyuki was waiting there.
"Why are you dawdling there? How dare you make the princess wait."
Tensyoin Miyuki had an impatient look on her face, but something seemed to be missing. Something that had always been there.
Well, let's just hand over the whistle for now.
"?"
"I heard this can make wishes come true, but it's just hearsay. Should be fake though..."
Ryuto explained it like that, and Tensyoin Miyuki stood there for a moment, not sure if she heard it or not, then she grabbed the whistle.
"Hmph, the princess will accept it for now. You should be grateful, don't misunderstand."
Saying that, she separated the string attached to the whistle and handed it to Ryuto.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and put it on for the princess."
"Um....."
Why do you want me to help? It's pretty simple, can't you do it yourself?
I was thinking of saying that, but after a little thought, I decided against it. Based on past experience, I would probably just get scolded if I said anything.
Hmm... I do have the ability to learn, although it's quite pathetic.
Although I'm not very willing, I'll do it anyway for now.
"Let's just go back straight away."
Although I don't know if they'll agree, Ryuto tentatively suggested this, because wandering around aimlessly might lead to getting into trouble, no, it would definitely lead to trouble.
"Well, if you say so, then let's do it your way."
They replied with a slightly strange tone.
Surprisingly, it went smoothly. What's wrong with this person? They actually agreed. Could it be that they're sick or forgot to take their medicine?
I don't know why, but they did help a lot, and it seems like something has been different about them since earlier. Well, there's no need to pay too much attention to it.
So without any further questions, the two of us left directly.
In the next instant, the sound of a table exploding came from inside.
By the way, it seems to be the table of a certain alliance.
