“Are you proposing the establishment of a branch of the Sanghoe in the Perdalos territory?”

Delfina nodded at Johnny’s somewhat startled question.

“You already know, Mr. Johnny, that a warp gate has been installed in the Perdalos estate, right?”

“Yes, I have already heard about that. And that Prince Antonio promoted it.”

“Then do you know why you installed it?”

“hahahaha, why don’t I know that?”

At Delphina who uttered a very obvious question, Johnny replied with a smile.

‘It’s the fruit of passionate love that Prince Antonio sends to President Delfina.’

It was an openly known fact within the academy student council, who had already witnessed the two together.

It was a fact that all but one of the student council members noticed that Prince Antonio was giving the student council president a different look than anyone else.

He was convinced that the warp gate built in the Perdalos estate was also a part of his excessive affection.

Of course, when Delfina first chose a person for the student council, she chose someone she could trust as the top priority, so direct rumors about the two did not spread to the general students through the mouths of the student council members.

‘Looking at Prince Antonio’s recent love offensive that has changed a little more aggressively, it’s only a matter of time before this rumor spreads throughout the academy.’

Thinking quietly to himself, Johnny waited for the next words to come out of Delphina’s mouth.

“As the prince has expressed his intention to make Perdalos the second planned city, I will have no choice but to act accordingly.”

Johnny, who hid his emotions well enough to prompt a reply of ‘Yes?’, answered with a smile as if nothing had happened.

“… That’s right, that’s right.”

“Did you not know? That Prince Antonio is making a planned city?”

“Oh, no. That was somewhat expected.”

No matter how much bean pods were used, it would not have been enough justification to build a warp gate in a country estate overnight.

Using that warp gate, he fully predicted what Prince Antonio would do.

I expected to build a research facility based on the vast Perdalos territory, or to build a factory zone that could mass produce magic tools.

Establishing a planned city was also included as one of several utilization plans that Jonny and the people of Wintemire Company came up with.

The only thing I didn’t expect was the student council president’s innocent reaction.

Even though he installed a warp gate in the territory, he seemed to have failed to notice Prince Antonio’s kindness.

It was a reaction that seemed to clearly show Prince Antonio’s hardships.

He could have ruined the relationship by accidentally intervening in another person’s relationship, so Johnny just kept quiet and cheered him on inside.

Returning to the main topic, we finished talking about the agenda that Delfina brought up.

“Since you called me about the planned city, I can understand why you said that you wanted to talk with me alone.

No, to talk about this, it would be much more correct to call her Lady Perdalos rather than the president.”

She had already quickly figured out that the reason she had been called was not to convene the student council members as the student council president, but to contact the company that would enter her domain as the daughter of Perdalus.

From now on, it was time to talk as a family representative and an upper tier representative rather than as an academy student.

“As the first company to enter Perdalos, I would like to bring in the Wintemire Company if possible.”

“Certainly, if there is a branch of a large guild, the territory will develop rapidly.”

“So I’m telling you, do you have any ideas?

Oh, don’t feel too pressured. Even if you refuse, I can fully understand.”

“You are suggesting setting up a Perdalos branch of the Wintemire Corporation, is that correct?”

“Instead, in the process of setting up a branch, we will partially pay for the costs involved when using warp gates. And if you want, we will also take care of other conveniences, such as administrative procedures.”

In fact, it was quite an unconventional proposal to give priority to them at the point in time when they had already informed in advance that they were going to build a planned city.

In addition, the fact that some of the cost of using the warp gate was supported until the branch was built was a very attractive proposal from the point of view of a businessman.

Above all, it was a relationship that could be seen as having built up a relationship of trust with Lady Delfina Perdalos over the past year.

Her brother, Conrad Perdalos, was also a fairly good-natured person by his standards, and a lasting relationship probably wouldn’t be too bad.

With that thought in mind, Johnny Winte had enough intentions to prepare and sign the contract right away.

… but,

“I am grateful to Lady Perdalos for looking after our company on good terms, but unfortunately, planning the construction of the company’s branch is not my job.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

“Because my sister, Seneran Winte, is in charge of the construction of the Wintemire Company branch, capital investment planning, and so on.”

Seneran Winte.

Delfina was also the name of a fairly famous person whom she had heard of once.

The most likely person to become the next president of Wintemire Corporation.

A type of woman who doesn’t hesitate to manage capital aggressively in a place where money smells, or to step into a risky place on her own.

Because of that, a few years ago, I was kidnapped by bandits and almost suffered a lot.

Of course, since it was only rumors, I had to meet him in person to figure out what kind of person he was.

Delfina was convinced that at least it would take a little more effort than persuading Johnny.

“Then could you arrange a place for Mr. Johnny to speak with your sister?”

“I will try to persuade you as much as possible, but I will tell you in advance that if your sister is not willing to do so, you may have to return the refusal.”

Of course, he only said so in words, but Johnny was convinced in his own way.

Because he wasn’t the only one who had a relationship with Perdalos.

“I see. Please take care of me, Mr. Johnny.”

Headquarters of the Wintemire Company, Seneran’s private office.

A long-haired woman with light brown hair asked Johnny with a sullen expression as he entered the office.

“Hmm, you mean the new Sangkai branch?”

“That’s right.”

“You said that your sister handles everything related to branches and investments. You just have to focus on the business you like, Johnny.”

“I’m just passing along what my acquaintance suggested.”

A woman sitting on a chair in the office was lying on the chair and waving her hand as if it were annoying.

“Yeah, it’s dismissal~. It’s not even worth seeing.”

“Yeah?”

“I can’t trust people who ask me to do something for me while pushing a personal relationship. Besides, you’re going to use me for our weak-minded Johnny? Please tell me not to say anything that is not even funny.”

Johnny was immediately taken aback by his sister’s unexpected reaction.

She had always been kind to herself since she was young, so she hadn’t figured it out.

In fact, Seneran was a calculating and methodical person when dealing with people other than his family.

One of the things she hated the most was reports that came up without going through the proper procedures.

Just like the case of the establishment of a branch of Sanghoe, which her younger brother told her about.

“How about listening to it at least once? I think it’s something that would be of interest to you as well.”

“How many times do I have to tell you to understand? As long as it came up to me without going through the proper formalities and procedures, the agenda is now eliminated forever.”

“Even just an explanation… .”

“I told you to stop, Johnny.”

“… All right.”

It was a request from Lady Delphina Perdalos, with whom she had a normal relationship, so she deliberately skipped the procedure and reported it to her sister as soon as possible.

I don’t think that would have made her feel worse.

Johnny blamed himself in his heart for the painful mistake he had made.

Of course, since he was young, his sister had handled much more of the company’s fund investment management than himself, so there was a possibility that Delfina’s proposal contained loopholes that were different from his narrow insight.

Even so, it was inevitable that I would think that I should have judged a little more carefully.

“Oh, leave the proposal there on the desk. But I have to check and throw it away.”

“All right. Then I will leave the proposal for the construction of the Perdalos branch here.”

“yes. So that the same thing next time… . Now, wait a minute, Johnny?”

“Yeah?”

“Did you just say the Perdalos branch construction proposal?”

As soon as the name of a certain family popped out, Johnny nodded with a puzzled look at his sister’s sudden change of reaction.

“That’s right.”

“… Please wait there for a second.”

Seneran stopped Johnny, who was about to step out of the office, and hurriedly snatched the report on the desk.

I hurriedly began to read the contents of the report from top to bottom.

“Johnny.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Who is the person named Delphina Perdalos written here?”

“I am the lady of the Viscount Perdalos family. He is currently serving as the student president of Alexandros Academy.”

“… What is your family composition?”

“My father is Prince Dmitri Perdalos, who was once called a war hero, and my mother is from the family of Count Alias, and is now called Lady Tanasia Perdalos.”

“… Is that the end?”

Saying that, Seneran’s eyes trembled slightly.

“No, there is one more brother up there.”

“… who?”

“My name is Konrad Perdalos, and he is currently a member of the 4th year of the Magic Department at the Academy.”

Took. With a sound, the report in Seneran’s hand fell down.

“You should have said that sooner!”

“Yeah? But my sister said that she’s obviously not worth seeing… .”

“… Well, but that’s an exception anyway! Didn’t I tell you about him the other day!!”

“Yes, I remember too. I had a business with him a while ago, and he’s definitely a good-natured person, just like my sister said.”

“What? Did you even trade?! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”

“It was not a regular transaction, it was just a one-time request. I thought there was nothing to report to my sister, even such trivial things.”

“Well, you should have said something… . If it wasn’t for that person, I might be alive or dead now… .”

“Sister, you are overemotional.”

Seneran, who had barely come to his senses after hearing Johnny’s words, hurriedly calmed his excitement.

“… Anyway, is this a proposal from Delfina Perdalos, sister of Conrad Perdalos?”

“That’s right.”

“Nice job, Johnny. You really asked the right agenda.”

“… … .”

Johnny lost his senses at the sight of his sister, who changed her attitude like flipping her palm in an instant.

I kept my mouth shut out of consideration for my sister who would feel ashamed if I pointed out this one by one.

“Besides, Perdalos was a territory where a warp gate was built some time ago, right? That’s it. Let’s go through.”

“Sister, it’s better to read the report at least once… .”

“Oh no! Yes, an opportunity like this has already arisen, but we can’t just let it pass!”

“Yeah?”

“Schedule an interview, Johnny.”

“What is the schedule for the interview?”

Seneran nodded at Johnny who asked back with a puzzled expression.

“Since that person is also attending the academy, I guess we can somehow match the time. If I can schedule a meeting with my brother, Conrad Perdalos, and I, tell him that I will consider it positively.”

“Sister, no matter what, you’re being too pushy… .”

“If not now, do you know when another opportunity will come? It’s okay, so do what I say. You just need to say that you will decide after personally meeting the person who will become the next head of Perdalos.”

“… I understand, sister.”

“yes. Please take care of me, Johnny.”

I expected a positive reaction, but I never thought you would show such an active reaction.

Johnny was puzzled by his sister’s reaction, but just nodded.
