“I heard that the ingredients I was looking for were around here.”
At Hugh’s words, Weaver said with a wrinkled expression on his face.
“……You came all the way here just to get the ingredients? You want me to believe that?”
For a moment, Hugh’s face turned cold. But it was very fleeting. He then made a playful smile as usual and said calmly.
“Just? That word is quite offensive to a wizard’s pride.”
His red eyes gleamed sharply.
“It seems to me that the cost of the ingredients are several times higher than the status of this school.”
Weaver, who looked into Hugh’s flashing eyes, involuntarily flinched.
But Hugh smiled slyly as if nothing had happened, and leaned back comfortably on the sofa.
“But aren’t you too easy going? Your enemy is right in front of you, looking for prey.” (Hugh)
The ‘enemy’ that Hugh referred to was Carmen outside the office.
Weaver looked at Hugh with a firm expression on his face.
Hugh didn’t hide the fact that he knew Carmen. That wasn’t enough, he even revealed the fact that Carmen was very wary of Weaver.
Weaver glared at him with a cold expression on his face, and Hugh shrugged his shoulders as if it didn’t matter.
“You must have roughly guessed who told me the location of the ingredients.” (Hugh)
Hugh thought that Weaver was a smart person, so he would have noticed his relationship with Carmen earlier.
And Weaver was suspicious of their relationship, as Hugh had guessed.
Weaver opened his mouth in a low voice.
“You don’t seem to have any intention of hiding the fact that you’re Carmen’s partner in crime. Does that mean you can afford it?”
At his words, Hugh raised her lips smoothly.
“Actually, I’m not on anyone’s side.”
“…what is that?”
As Weaver frowned as if it was difficult to understand, Hugh opened her mouth with a calm voice.
“As long as I achieve my desired goal successfully, there is no need to buy and do troublesome work anymore.”
He meant that if he could successfully get the ingredients he was looking for, he would not help Carmen anymore.
