 ”Indeed, you’re trustworthy. You’re a student council member at the Magic Academy, and you excel in both intelligence and sense of justice.”

 Isabella thought to herself while speaking.

 ”Well, playing with girls can be intense, but…”

 ”There’s no forcing or coercion when it comes to relationships with women, okay?”

 I said with a sly tone.

 Meer and Lana also agreed. Our romantic feelings didn’t start from scratch, and they received proper compensation for our relationships.

 Well, in the previous life on Earth, this method would have been quite questionable. But in this world, it’s completely safe.

 Meer and Lana are also doing their best to make each other happy. Right now, Meer is under my care, and Lana is traveling with me.

 ”You’re not that type. You’d rather close off escape routes and dangle bait instead.”

 ”…I won’t deny it.”

 Even in male-female relationships, she’s quite cunning, just like a skilled Police Inspector. She’s very perceptive.

 ”But, you do have the talent to win people over. Even I was charmed, and you’re one of a kind, aren’t you?”

 Isabella’s gaze focused.

 ”Perhaps you could do it well. Your family has lived in the royal capital for a long time, right?”

 ”That’s right. Our lands in the north are small, and we leave them to the governor.”

 ”Families with magical powers often have that pattern. It’s hard for relatives to increase in number, after all. Well…do you know the name Midnight Fangs?”

 Whoa.

 She actually said that name out loud…

 ”…As a name that appears in urban legends, I suppose.”

 ”No, Midnight Fangs is real.”

 ”Hmm, that’s an interesting story.”

 I gave a suitable nod.

 Midnight Fangs is a dark organization.

 It’s said that those who’ve lived in the royal capital for a long time have heard it as an urban legend.

 They say it’s a group of heroes who punish the wicked, or a mafia lurking in the royal capital’s back alleys, or an elusive group of criminals.

 ”Midnight Fangs is an organization that protects the royal capital in the shadows. I’m the liaison for them.”

 I was shocked.

 What is Isabella going to say?

 I have to be careful with my expression.

 If I slip up, it’ll be embarrassing.

 ”I’ll work with them to chase out the evil that’s lurking in this city. I don’t mind as long as it’s within my capabilities.”

 ”Wow, that’s a pretty big responsibility… I didn’t think it’d come to this. I thought it’d be a more casual favor…”

 ”But it’s not beyond your ability. I think that’s how it is.”

 That’s the honest answer.

 After all, I’m the boss of Midnight Fangs.

 ”I’ll have the documents delivered to your lodging later. You should be able to understand the contents.”

 ”――Why do I have to take on such a big role?”

 ”A little while ago, the boss of Midnight Fangs was replaced. The new one is a young man…”

 Isabella’s eyes sparkled with intensity.

 ”He’s different from the previous one; he hates seeing blood and is willing to work with me. In fact, he’s willing to put in the effort as long as it’s profitable. He’s a strange guy.”

 The previous one――my mother, Karia.

 She had a feud with the Golden Crab and sank several ships.

 I’m not like that. I wouldn’t sell out to the police.

 ”I worked with him on various projects and changed my perception. However, there are difficulties. The police and politicians are afraid of Midnight Fangs, and there are certainly people who dislike it.”

 ”Maybe that person is just pretending to be on your side because it’s profitable…”

 ”…Maybe. But you’re similar to that person in some ways.”

 Isabella…

 Did she figure out my true identity?

 If not, would she ask Alba to do something so absurd? I thought she’d ask for something more casual.

 But there’s no evidence linking me to Midnight Fangs. As long as I wear the Midnight Fangs mask, it’s impossible to directly connect me to it.

 Still, I’ve been interacting with her as Alba. Maybe it’s not impossible to guess, considering both our personalities and ways of thinking.

 But this reaction is… unexpectedly favorable.

 ”So, I think you can get along with Midnight Fangs too. That’s why I’m entrusting you with this big task.”

 ”Are you serious, Miss Isabella?”

 ”I’ve never said anything casual about work. I’m completely serious.”

 Sigh… geez.

 ”…I won’t mess up, but don’t expect too much from the results.”

 ”Hehe…”

 Isabella smiles.

 ”You’re willing to try, and that’s enough for me.”

 Her arm wraps around me, holding me close like a lover.

 ”Do you want to be pampered?”

 ”Yeah.”

 ”You’re a hopeless case.”

 She puts her arm around my back and pats me gently.

 Isabella is quite confident. But at the same time… she likes me too.

 What a mess. But it’s not bad.

 This will surely prolong my relationship with Isabella.

 That was the night I realized this.
