Tina’s Suggestion

「Haruto-sama. I have something to discuss……Do you have a moment?」
As evening fell on the day Akari visited H&T Trading Company, Tina approached Haruto, who was relaxing at the mansion.
「Sure. What’s up?」
「First, please take a look at this」
Tina placed the seven accessories she had bought from Akari on the table in front of Haruto.
「Wow. I sense some strong power from these」
「Yes. They’re all Legend class items」
「Legend class… …Like the bracelets I’ve been handing out to everyone?」
「Exactly」
The bracelets that Haruto had made and distributed to his family were appraised by Tina as Legend class items.
Having the same functions as communication between those who possess the same bracelet, as well as serving as markers for teleportation magic, and being capable of containing multiple instances of the highest-level magic, Flame Knight, it was quite naturally so.
「So, what about these?」
「It was a small girl who came to me to sell this to me」
Although Akari was fifteen in this world, she had arrived here almost unchanged from her original world. In this world, a fifteen-year-old human would be considered an adult, given their physical maturity.
However, due to Akari’s originally short stature, Tina still saw her as a child.
「I believe we should protect that girl」
Tina had heard that Akari didn’t have parents. Akari explained that she planned to make items, sell them, and use the money to travel with Tet.
「Protect her? Why? Isn’t she the girl who can make Legend class items?」
There are many orphans in this world.
Many children lose their parents due to attacks by monsters or wars between nations.
Although Haruto and the Elnor family were exterminating monsters on a global scale, the threat was not completely eliminated.
Additionally, Haruto’s policy was to deal with it with full force if he or his family members were involved, but he generally tried to avoid involvement in wars.
While H&T Trading Company provided support to orphans, Haruto personally believed that he couldn’t save all of them.
He helped as much as he could within his capabilities.
However, there was no need to reach out to those who had the power to handle things themselves, especially a girl who could create Legend class items. They should have the ability to survive in this world without his help.
No matter how hard you try, you can’t save everyone.
He learned that well enough when he was the Guardian Hero, so he came to think that way.
「It’s too risky to just watch. She happened to come to me to sell these, but if her value is known to other merchants…… she might be taken advantage of and could bring chaos to this world sooner than we think」
「Chaos in the world—- Is it that serious?」
「A girl who effortlessly creates Legend class equipment, doesn’t know its value, and can slip past the guards I hired」
With this much information, Tina had a certain hypothesis.
「Perhaps she is also a reincarnator like Haruto-sama and Luna-san」
「Hmm. A reincarnator?」
Although Haruto had been avoiding the topic of the girl, he became interested when he heard she might be a reincarnator.
「By the way, did you ask her name?」
「Yes. There’s a crystal installed in my office at the company for surveillance, so you can also see her face」
Saying so, Tina took out a magical tool with recorded images and projected the image of the black-haired girl who had visited her today in front of Haruto.
「Her name is Akari」
