Ryuto intended to say so, but the other party had already answered before that.

"We knew that the adult would come, so we opened it immediately and have been waiting here for the adult's visit."

"Visit is not quite the right term, isn't it? It seems like you are not in the service industry. Clearly your skills at pretending are not as good as your master's."

But aside from that, there was another question.

"You shouldn't know that I would come here, right? What if I went to another residence? After all, there are many residences here. In that case, wouldn't you be wasting your effort?"

To this, the man just respectfully said.

"No, the adult doesn't need to worry, actually it doesn't matter which residence the adult goes to."

"Huh? It doesn't matter which one? Why is that?"

"Because after the guardians of all residences receive news of the adult's arrival, they will open the door in advance and wait for the adult's arrival."

Oh my...

So, it doesn't matter where I go, right? Do you really have to go this far and commit the ultimate sin of pretending—collective pretense...

Are you all disciples of that guy? No, you must all be his disciples, right? I never imagined that guy would have disciples all over the place, what a terrifying guy!

It's over, the world of pretense is going to be dominated by you, no, not just the pretense world, but the world itself will be much more difficult from now on.

A moment of silence...

Moreover, the term 'arrival' you used just now wasn't very appropriate, well, even so, I still feel like you are the worst at pretending among that guy's disciples. The pretense skills of the others should be even more incredible, except for that "newcomer" just now, probably just a gofer from your sect, I have to think so to prepare for the worst.

Hmm...

"But I didn't expect the adult to come to us, which truly delights me."

You're happy because you can pretend again, right?

And, should I be grateful? That it's you, with the worst pretense skills, who came, I can barely resist you, I can't imagine if I went to someone else, I would be shot dead by the invisible aura of pretense emanating from all of you.

Truly, thank goodness!

Furthermore, even with you, I myself am starting to struggle a bit, after all, you can unleash your pretense skills without limits, while my anti-pretense moves have a time limit.

Isn't the spear stronger than the shield after all?

"Ah, thank you for your hard work, I'll go in first since time is running out."

With that, Ryuto went straight in, or more precisely, walked quickly.

Retreat at high speed...

"If the adult has any orders, I will be at your service, eager to serve the adult."

"...Understood."

This pretense skill...

I am already starting to run away, and you're still chasing after me, it's just brutal...

Do you really have to be so ruthless, at least leave a way out?

And, saying follow at any time, do you have the ability to teleport or something? This is even more impressive than a certain superhero man.

Once inside, there were people there. When they saw Ryuto, those people didn't ask anything, but just directly showed Ryuto the way.

Hmm...

I like these kinds of people who quietly get things done.

Because someone led the way, even though the route inside was very complicated, it was easy to find the way.

The large gate at the next corner is the one we're looking for, it's almost within sight.

"You guys go ahead first."

Ryuto dismissed the few guides and let them leave.

"What's next..."

What should we do next? Should we just go in directly?

Ryuto couldn't help but ponder in frustration.
