Arandes Daxreit, the leader of the magic society "Darkness Before Dawn", is also the chairman of a prestigious old company.
In order to help his magic association recover, he chose to enter the business world and use enterprises to provide material support for the association's survival and development. Of course, doing this is a violation of the agreement on the magic side, but it is undoubtedly legal in the outside world.
means.
This special experience allowed him to discover things that magicians who only work on the magic side would never be able to discover - these things can be called loopholes, or omissions, and in an ideal world, these small omissions can be found.
for use.
Now, he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, carrying a high-end and classy briefcase around his waist, and walked with his secretary from the rental plane that landed in Academy City 23 School District, and walked into the airport.
It happened that the Daihasei Festival had just ended, and until the end of the month, it was the time for tourists to come in and out. He had a pretty big business to discuss this time, so seizing the time could save a lot of procedures and use backdoor or illegal methods. For him,
That's a good thing.
"Boss, this Academy City really feels like the 'cleanest city in the world.'" said the hired pilot who parked his plane and followed him.
"Is this how you feel? Then you have to take a good look at this city to gain some knowledge. You must know that this city's technology is thirty years ahead of the world. My business will be discussed tomorrow morning. By then
I will call you and you can move around freely during this period, and the expenses will be reimbursed," Arandez said grandly.
"Thank you very much, boss."
"Where, I took away a whole night."
"Boss, you are so polite. In fact, my wife and I... have been having a bit of a quarrel recently. I would rather hide outside for a while. It would be great if it was work instead of just wasting money on my wallet. It would be better than just finding a motel or bar to spend the night.
It’s so meaningful. In fact, for some people, work is the greatest pleasure,” the pilot joked.
"Haha, you are right." Aranders also enjoys his job very much. On the surface, he is a good chairman who treats his employees well, but on the inside, he is the leader of a magic association who walks in the cracks of defaults on the magic side. This is quite exciting.
The infernal life.
After walking out of the airport, they went against the tourists preparing to leave Academy City and boarded the subway entering other school districts.
Then they got off the bus at different stations.
Arandes walked out of the station and took a taxi, giving the driver the address of a family restaurant.
"Boss, you look like a foreigner. Are you not good at calling self-driving taxis?" the driver asked.
"You're right, please."
In fact, Academy City's self-driving taxis and buses are very convenient and conducive to some private communication, but there is a problem, that is, it will make enemies who are also on the magic side have nothing to worry about. With reliable information, the Daihasei Festival
On the first day, when a magician hired by the Roman Orthodox Church took a self-driving bus, the hostile forces did not hesitate to launch an explosive attack simply because there were no other passengers inside.
"Would a boss like you also go to restaurants where students go to eat?"
"No, no, I'm going to discuss formal business."
"What? Are you tired of the serious conference rooms and luxurious wine tables, and want a change of taste? How about, who do you want to discuss business with?" It just so happened that the driver was a big talker, so he asked casually without expecting anything.
Serious answer.
"Haha, isn't there a very popular singer recently? It's that company."
"Oh, that's it, then it's not surprising. To be honest, although I'm not a researcher with core technology, it wouldn't be surprising even if this city has completed some methods to prevent aging."
The two of them chatted without a word until they arrived at their destination, checked out and got off the bus.

"What should I do? That guy has been refusing to leave the flow of ordinary people. Wouldn't it be dangerous to attack him directly?"
"There are so many opportunities. It wouldn't be bad to just follow him and catch him and his accomplices... But this guy's strategy is also quite bold."
……………………………………………………
Arandes walked into the family restaurant where many students were sitting.
"This way, this way."
There was a table for six people sitting with five women, and someone waved to him.
The reason why they are called "women" rather than girls is because this group cannot be called that. First of all, they are all Western faces with blond hair and blue eyes; secondly, among the people in the age group that can be called girls, only one is wearing a green dress.
The one with short hair looks normal, the others all look like elementary school students in Halloween cosplay, and the remaining one is a pregnant woman with a big belly even though she is wearing everyday clothes.
"No way? Isn't this gender ratio too imbalanced?" Arandez joked, "And there is also a pregnant woman. What if my wife finds out and thinks I am meeting a bunch of lovers on the pretext of discussing business?
ah?"
"Originally, there were supposed to be four middle-aged men and two women, Delai, Derrida, Leichhardt, Cloca, and Ellie, Lincia, but they left first during your private negotiations.
That's it. There's something big going on in their country. They're probably busy with disaster relief right now, so they won't be able to come. Although I hope you can resolve the conflict between you first, it's not good to be too intense, right?" Flanpisi replied.
road.
"Sit down." Flampis pointed to the last empty seat, "Well, now that everyone is here, let me introduce you."
"First of all, this elementary school student, the magician who dressed in a perfect combination of clothes and drove away all the six people just mentioned, Cynthia Exment, a Commonwealth citizen who claims that her ancestral hometown is in Neon, not long ago
After destroying all the magical foundations in the Sterling Clearing Area, he flew all the way to Academy City." Flappis introduced while looking at the golden twin ponytails.
"How do I look like a primary school student?! Although that is just an identity that I have long planned to lose, I am also a member of the Royal Astronomical Research Organization." Cynthia slapped the table and shouted.
"Oh, but as far as I know, the first grader of junior high school is probably a little older than you in all aspects except height." Flampis complained as she looked at Cynthia's body.
"Ah? You're about the same?!" Cynthia almost climbed onto the table.
"Yes, but I have the body of an elementary school student." Flampis said calmly and calmly, as if the undead were very proud of their elementary school body.
