about it.

Carol smiled a bit smugly to Elena and said.

“Is it okay if I take it that it was worth it taking me with you here?”

Although Elena was a bit bothered by the way Carol was acting, she then said.

“...? Well, you’re right, you’re a big help. Thanks to you, it seems that we can avoid getting roped into a troublesome situation.”

“Can you please tell that to Akira too?”

“Sure, but can you tell me why you want me to do that?”

“It’s to increase my value in his eyes since he’s the one hiring me at the moment. Since I’ve been useful, it’s normal for me to want to let my employer know that I did well, right? After all, if Akira knows that I’m useful, he might pay me a lot of money later. So, will you do that for me?”

Although there was something that was still bothering Elena, she also understood that Carol had a good point there. In the first place, it was exactly because Elena did not agree with the evaluation that Drankam had about her that she did not want to negotiate with Drankam this time.

“...Sure... I’ll properly convey that to Akira.”

Carol smiled as she thought that it would leave a better impression on Akira if he heard it from Elena instead of hearing that from Carol herself.
