“If I was unable to see through his tactic, and he wins this store, it should be a good lesson, right?”
“Young Master—this sort of joke is not funny at all.”
Ryota Neko gave a strained smile.
“Okay, let’s go downstairs and have a drink.”
Rikuo, who wanted to smear the burn mark once again stood up after saying that. Aotabou and the others started to move as well. Just then, the staff ran up from the wine house downstairs.
“Ryota Neko big brother! It’s ba…it’s bad!”
“What are you making so much noise, what happened?”
“The cashier downstairs was counting money and the result was—look at this!”
The staff member was holding a tree leaf.
“Part of the money turned into leaves!”
Ryota Neko took a deep breath, and his face turned red instantly. It must be that Tanuki. Even though he was bowing just now, he must have been smirking slyly inside.
“That stupid Tanuki!”
Ryota Neko ran off after shouting that.
“Hey—don’t be so rash!”
Rikuo’s voice could be heard from behind. Ryota Neko turned around and replied…
“How can I not be rash about this?”
