บท 1565: Business Meeting (1)

As we walked to the table of the one who we were supposed to meet tonight, I recalled Mizuki’s words earlier when she was explaining everything in detail to me. It was long and I remained mostly silent during it.

“Looking at your expression, I can easily guess what is on your mind right now, Ruki.”

“You’re wondering. Wondering why I’m letting you be the main character in this seemingly important meeting.”

“Allow me to preface with this: In this world, there’s the saying ‘Nothing gained. Nothing Ventured.’ If you’re not ready to take a risk, you can’t really achieve anything in life.”

“I’m risking my reputation to give you the spotlight. And truthfully, it’s not only because I believe in you wholeheartedly. One other reason is... whether you met with success or failure, this night would be giving both of us the necessary experience to continue treading on this path.”
