After the four people who had an interview left,

we held a briefing session.

This means, Megumi and Ringo think that the last person is good?

Yes.

Myability to judge characteris accurate.

Well, Megumi-chansability to judge characterisnt accurate, though

Look, Nancy,

its better to give that last person a miss.

Why?

That person seems to be most excellent one, right?

Well, thats right, but

Umu, its hard to explain.

She hasnt done anything yet

If Im forced to say something, it would only be to the extent that the name,Hiyama Ai, is afalse name.

However, I wont be able to answer if they were to ask me how I know that its a false name~.

Seiji, I didnt think that you would object~.

Well, for the time being, lets hire all of them.

Eh?

Arent we supposed to choose 1 amongst the 4!?

Well, the manpower isnt enough at all.

Since Nancy has the final decision, I cant say it somehow or other.

However, Im worried.

The dangerous person who took the interview using a false name,

we dont know what shes up to.

For the time being, I put aTracking beacononHiyama Ai,

but to be safe, I putTracking beaconson Ringo and Megumi-chan, too.

Ah, while Im at it, I will also put one on mama-san, too.

–

While Nancy and the others were chatting at thetea partyheld on the pretext ofbriefing sessionI was secretly peeking into the situation ofHiyama Aithrough the beacon.

Hiyama Aiwas cautiously and restlessly looking around and she secretly entered an accessory shop calledArcGold[1]from the back entrance.

Is this person someone from another accessory shop

and is plotting something like that of an industrial spy?

Gold-sama, Ive come.

Gold?

Hes called withsama, so that means this fellow is the boss?

Since they are talking in English, hes probably not Japanese.

Hows the situation of NancyJewelry?

The conversation partner was an ossan with an asian-ish villain expression and he was wearing a jinggling, bad-preference gold accessory.

It was easy, they only had Nancy, 2 children, and an interpreter;

They completely trusted me.

She thought that I was an interpreter, huh.

I see, I see,

check properly the information I told you about, got it?

Leave it to me!

They sneak in to check some kind of information, huh.

ArcGold, what on Earth are these fellows?

Nancy, its an abrupt question to ask,

but do you know theArcGold?

I didnt think that I would hear that name from your mouth, Seiji.

Youre fairly knowledgeable about accessory, huh?

Its not like that at all, I just happened to hear a little.

Oh well,

ArcGoldis a jewelry brand which grew rapidly in the United States recently, but

But?

When I asked mama, she said that its not that sort of jewelry.

Well, such a flashy, bad-preference ornament, itll also be rated low as a jewelry.

Or so I thought, but

That ismoney wear,

they use it as a countermeasure against tax.

Money wear?

According to Nancys story,

Its said that the company does a Las Vegas show business

and turned most of their profits tomoney wearnot cash.

Why do they do something like that?

Its said that if, for a dancer, an accessory is a part of ones tool of trade,

then themoney wearis calculated as anexpense.

If all the profitable balance is calculated asexpenses, the profitable balance endlessly nears 0.

It seems that because of that, they dont really have to pay tax.

Moreover, since theMoney wearconsumes gold lavishly and the value of itself is gold, if you smash it and turn it back into gold, it can be converted into money at the amount close to its original cost.

Such a thing, isnt it simply a tax evasion?

Well, thats right,

but they have made necessary preparations at various places from behind the scenes and do something wonderfully at the last momentit seems.

I see, those guys are like that, huh.

By the way, Nancy.

Mama-san speaks ill of them like that, so that means,

theNancy JewelryandArcGoldare on bad terms with each other?

Oh well, we are probably on bad terms with each other.

After interfering with each other many times over, mama and the president over there are having a huge fight each time.

Ah, come to think of it, it seems theArcGolds president have come to Japan right now.

The president have personally come to man the ship, huh.

That flashy ossan is probably the president ofArcGold.

Ill go to the restroom for a bit.

I went inside the toilet stall,

transformed myself into a ninja man,

became invisible usingTransparencificationofLight Magic

and then usedTeleportationto where Hiyama Ai was.

***

Iyaan, youre lewd, Gold-sama~.

Come on, come on, guhehehe~

Uwa, I encountered them at an unpleasant place

Since Ive become transparent, so naturally, they havent noticed me.

Although I decided not to look at the strange scene that much,

I put atracking beaconon theGolds boss.

Translators notes:

[1]This gold is written in katakana, Gorudo and Ive translated it as aurum in the past chapters, so whether theyre connected/one or not, I still dont know yet. Ill leave it as gold for now.
