On the other side.

Although the Ryuto duo had put in quite some effort, they eventually arrived at one of the residences, after all there were many people here, naturally there were many residences as well.

Well, let's just consider it a random survey.

As they walked up to the door.

"Hey, who are you?"

They were interrogated by a man standing at the door like this.

Hmm...

Here we go again, Ryuto couldn't help but sigh internally.

Well, although it's troublesome, there's no other way.

So he spoke up again.

"Well, actually..."

But he was quickly shouted down by the man beside him

No, more accurately, the man was scolding the man who had questioned Ryuto earlier.

"Idiot, can't you tell? This person was sent by Marquis Delanke."

With that, he angrily raised his arm and hit the man's head hard.

"Huh?"

Now it was Ryuto who was puzzled, why...

I hadn't said anything yet, right? How did you guys know? Did I have it written on my face?

Perhaps sensing Ryuto's concerns, the scolding man approached with an apologetic smile.

"Please forgive him, sir. He's new here and doesn't know any better."

He apologized to Ryuto.

Oh come on...

Don't lie to me, you haven't hired any new staff recently, there haven't even been any job postings, where did this new guy come from? Did you post an ad on some local job site? So high-end? By the way, why didn't I see it? I came to work in this country because people here finish work very early, there's no overtime, it's simply the perfect place for workaholics.

And although it's a courteous remark, don't always use it as an excuse.

Although he wanted to say that.

"No, it's fine."

But Ryuto could only wave his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.

After that, the man leaned in close to Ryuto's ear and whispered softly.

"Don't worry, sir. We've heard about the matter, we'll make sure not to reveal your identity."

"Oh? Is that so... You guys are quite considerate."

In response, Ryuto finally understood.

Oh my...

That guy actually helped me advertise, not only did he open the door for me, but he also cleared the way for me right behind, it's truly a full-service, this guy...

"Oh no, it's an honor for us to serve you, sir."

... Are you perhaps the apprentice of the guy before? No, you must be the apprentice of that guy.

Although your BS skills are not as proficient as that guy's, they are far superior to an average person, fortunately my tolerance for BS is high enough, barely able to withstand your BS moves, if your master comes, I guess I'll have to kneel, that was close! Close!

Ah...

It looks like the BS world is about to stir up another storm of blood and gore.

That's it for now, Ryuto couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Well, I really appreciate your cooperation."

"No, sir, what are you saying? Your presence here is entirely for our sake, we are grateful before you even arrive, how could we find it troublesome?"

"Is that so...? It's not early anymore, I'll go in and have a look, please help me open the door."

"No, sir, you don't have to worry about that, the door is already open."

Quietly, the man pointed at the slightly open door.

It's really strange...

The door was only half-closed, and the lock on it seemed to have been opened at some unknown time. They hadn't noticed it before because they were talking the whole time.

No, this is a bit strange.

"Do you guys usually not lock the door?" Ryuto asked.

"No, we usually lock the door," came the response.

"Then was it forgotten today?"

"No, in fact, we had locked it previously."

"But that..."

Wasn't it left unlocked? Isn't that a blatant lie?
