The next day, I took Cortina and turned to the Halton Chamber of Commerce, Raum's largest chamber of commerce.

Me and Cortina are disguised as hiding their hair.

The reason is that if celebrities visit, they may be able to fix the surface more than look at illegal items.

Cortina hid her fuzzy tail in suspended trousers, weaving her white shirt and dark blue jacket in a neutral outfit.

The characteristic cat's ears are hidden with a beret.

I wore a blonde wig, too, and wore more frilly costumes than usual to follow.

Cortina is also blonde, so if she gets better, she'll look like a sister.

If it's the look on Finia's happy face when she was wearing this costume...... no, let's put that away now.

A clerk greets me with a flamboyant smile as I creep through the gate of the Chamber of Commerce.

The unfamiliar disguise makes Cortina react terribly.

"Welcome! Welcome to the Holton Chamber of Commerce!

"Oh... yes?

"Tina, you don't have to say hello back here."

I slap my butt on Cortina and watch her head back.

"Uh... the..."

"I have the medicine I want."

"Is that medicine? Then I'll call the pharmacist's clerk."

"No, it's a special medicine, so I'd like to speak directly to the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Are you the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce..."

Is it suspicious that I should suddenly be asked to see the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce?

With that said, this was the home of a kid named Matisse.

"Oh, with that said, I'm in the same class as my child at the School of Magic..."

That said, the number of people in the same class is quite high. That should be just the right cut of the story.

"Master Matisse's... so the medicine -!? Please wait a moment!

The clerk rushed back to the back.

I feel an atmosphere that is not just the way it is.

"Something... weird"

"Right. And I feel frightened."

Taking a good look around, the other clerks have had a tingling atmosphere since their earlier remarks.

There was even a clerk peeking at this one with a flicker. The customer reacted as if nothing had happened.

In an unusual tension, a man of perfect width comes out of the back of the store after a while. But his face was stained pale.

"Are you a customer? If you want medicine. Matisse and I know each other."

"Oh, yes."

I reply to a dull, sweaty man while confused.

The man has introduced himself while offering his sweaty right hand.

"I'm late for my application. My name is Hayes Holton and I work for the Chamber of Commerce."

"I say... uh, Donna"

At this time, I hope Cortina's name doesn't come up, and I'll give her the right name.

My rumors don't go all over the city - but they're pretty widespread. You should keep my name down here as well as Cortina.

I made it my ex, Donovan. You, Sman. No, don't you have to apologize to him?

"Donna, is it"

"Yes, this is my sister, Tina, the guardian."

"Duh, thanks."

Cortina is very mind-breaking and applied, but she seems confused about a situation where she can't get herself out of shape.

Running with merchants. And without showing who you are. Such a situation would not have had much experience with her who was a military teacher.

If I don't lead this place, I might get the bollocks out.

"What are we talking about here, and please go back. I have tea too."

"Oh, yes."

Mr. Hayes suggests we talk in a separate room at the back of the counter.

Thank you. They don't want anyone else listening to us. I lured him into the back room as if to avoid the eyes.

Into a modest but well-groomed small room, Mr. Hayes closed the door securely. On the contrary, I even let him lock it.

"Um, why the keys?

"... ki-"

"Ki?"

"You guys grabbed Matisse!

"No?

Mr. Hayes approaches Cortina and tightens his collar.

"Hey, hey!?

"Forcing me to buy illegal drugs, grabbing my daughter for saying no, etc."

"No, I have something to do with it -"

"Wait, Cortina. Mr. Hayes, the story, details"

"White! You're one of them..."

It's completely upside down. I'm not going to be able to listen to you like this, and even if I could, it wouldn't be decent.

Anyway, I need you to calm down.

"I have no choice. Cortina, take your hat."

"To?"

"Was it still a fake name! My real name is Corti... Dear Na...?

"Oh, yeah"

Poke through the stopped gap of momentum and take away the beret Cortina was wearing.

The fuzzy ears characteristic of the long-haired species, blonde hair and shades close to it, rose up from under it.

"The... ears... really...? And excuse me. Ah!

Fly away like a springy doll and sit down in the ground with a smoothness to the magnificent.

He's seriously scared when he looks down on the ground, blubbering and shivering.

"No, that's okay, because I don't care. Tell me more about it."

Cortina gets her clothes messed up and then sits down in the chair. Now we're finally going to have a calm discussion.

Even so, I understand the general flow from the conversation earlier.

Perhaps the people who took the seeds of Queen Hua brought the goods to the country's largest chamber of commerce, the Halton Chamber of Commerce, and this Mr. Hayes turned it down illegally.

Do you resent it and say that you kidnapped my daughter Matisse?

"It was about three days ago, actually. The three men who look adventurous brought in the seeds of Queen Hua... no matter, Queen Hua is a monster without a hand. Buying that seed is legally problematic, so you picked it up."

The adventurers were very generous then... well, they were throwing up evil, but they pulled it off very generously then.

But two days later, Matisse disappeared. And instead you received a threatening letter to buy away the seeds of Queen Hua?

And the next day, he mistook me for a killer when I named him Matisse classmate who came looking for medicine.

"Apparently, this was a hit."

"Yeah."

Cortina had a niggling grin and a bad smile on her face.
