Whereas their eyes have been glued on the lunchbox, they uttered insincere phrases.

Theia shook her head.

The quantity was an excessive amount of for one individual, sufficient for a number of to share.

“Are you speaking concerning the Beriolsa Restaurant?”

—Hmm- That place, sure. Oh, it is alright. Its fairly well-known. I do not need to impose on you…

The elders spend greater than half the yr within the Aerial Backyard, however the remainder is spent having fun with the excessive life on the bottom.

In different phrases, if they can not benefit from the excessive life, they like to not descend in any respect.

“l’ll do my finest.”

—Ah, thanks.”

“Sure.”

Fortuitously, I’ve many connections. To some, it would appear to be an extravagant community.

—Eh~? Beriolsa-? Are you speaking concerning the restaurant?

This attractive voice belongs to Sheron.

“Sure. Is it potential? It is for subsequent week, Friday at 6 PM.”

—Straightforward- However, who’re you going with-?

For the elders, a reservation at such a restaurant is daunting, however for Sheron, it is remarkably straightforward.

It is extra about picture and model than standing and place.

Sheron of Aventagher has the appears and star high quality to brighten any venue she attends. Its price investing in her already established model picture.

Sadly, the elders do not even come near her.

“lts not for me, it is a reward.”

—Oh actually? Bought it~ I will reserve two spots. The perfect seats.

I smiled.

All of the sudden, a thought struck me.

“However why do not you utilize the Casto logy? You’ve got acquired it, have not you?”

—rm saving it for an important second. Why would I exploit it instantly~ Foolish.

“Ah, I see.”

On this respect, she’s unexpectedly meticulous and good.

Anyway.

“So, the reservation is”

—I*ve simply made it. Subsequent Friday at 6 PM.

Beriolsa is essentially the most luxurious high-end restaurant in present Edsilla.

To safe a reservation at such a restaurant, particularly through the prime time of 6 PM on a Friday, prefer it’s only a quick meals joint, there are actually solely a handful of individuals on the continent who may handle it.

—It appeared Like one thing you need to take credit score for, so I made the reservation below your name-

She*s additionally fast on the uptake.

“Thanks. If there’s ever something you want, do not hesitate to ask.”

—Alright. Hanging up now-

The reservation was successful. Nonetheless, I could not simply hand it over instantly.

If it appears too straightforward, they will not recognize it as a lot.

It’s a must to preserve them on edge till the final second, after which clear up it dramatically on the most crucial time—thats when their gratitude hits its peak…

…That is the way it works.

I devoted my efforts to the elders.

“Oh my! Actually?! Thanks a lot!”

“You do not have to thank me.”

“Thanks, thanks!”

Within the backyard of Libra Part 1.

Final week, Elder ‘Raymond; who had requested me to make a reservation at Beriolsa, got here in individual to precise his gratitude.

“Was it troublesome?”

“lt was powerful, however it’s okay. I managed to safe a cancellation spot simply in time.”

I make it appear to be I am not displaying off, although I’m.

It’s a must to showcase a bit to be appreciated, however an excessive amount of and it turns into tiresome.

“Tomorrow. Simply point out my identify on the restaurant and you will be set. Now, you higher begin preparing.”

“Understood! Thanks a lot~!”

Raymond patted my shoulder a number of instances earlier than leaving. His steps nearly appeared to Levitate as he walked away, excited to go to the restaurant together with his mistress.

He would possibly really fly at this fee.

Anyhow.

On this manner, I’ll proceed to satisfy the requests and favors of different elders as effectively, naturally incomes their favor.

And what occurs then?

The elders turn into my allies.

That means, if I ever conflict with one other Balancer, nearly all of the elders will take my facet.

Having returned as soon as earlier than, I do know that in Libra’s society, the elders have sufficient affect to simply overshadow a couple of Balancers.

Those that do not know this will probably be buried by me.

“…Belingham.”

That is in the end about Belingham Kantar.

That is the technique I’ve devised to take care of him.

In any case, that man, who believes he was ‘made’ for Libra, has fairly a robust ego and does not bow all the way down to the elders.

Due to that—

“Shion~”

All of the sudden, a delicate voice known as out to me. I turned in the direction of it.

Throughout the backyard, by the lakeside, Zia appeared. For some motive barefoot, holding her sandals in a single hand, she approached me.

“There’s an exquisite view… need to come see…?”

Though it was fairly sudden, I did not refuse the hand she supplied with a smile.

“Sure.”

At that second.

I felt a gaze from behind me. As soon as sharp, now dulled, and barely perceptible. Eyes full of a watery unhappiness…

It was most likely Johanna.
