[Screa Port City]

In a middle of a afternoon in this particular city a group of four people are now talking with each other

Lilith is a very close friend of Rebecca and a noble at that and to ensure a strong connection with the noble roots Kaido made himself to be polite as possible to be an to get close to such nobles

"It seems like your a person my precious Rebecca chosen to travel with" said Lilith

"Seems so" replied Kaido

"I see you learned your manners well! I'm proud of my friend in choosing such a wonderful companion" said Lilith as she looks back at Rebecca

Noticing her gaze Rebecca straightened up and smiled wryly while replying

"Really? Ehehehehe! I never would have thought of that! But thanks for the compliment" said Rebecca with a weird sense of awkwardness around

After that Lilith suddenly jumps up a little as if she remembers something

"Oh right! Since your here I think I better give my belongings Rebecca" stated Lilith

Hearing her Rebecca became confused

"Huh? Why are you giving me your stuff? This things are precious to you! So why?" She asks

Seeing her confusion Lilith sigh to the side and revealed her reason

"The thing is..... I'm getting married!"

..........

"Huh!"

"Huh!!!!!!!!"

Hearing her answer not only Rebecca but also Kaido shouted in confusion

"Would you like to hear the whole story?" Asks Lilith

Seeing the chance to know the reason Rebecca urged Lilith to reveal it

"Yeah! I want to hear your reason" said Rebecca frantically

"Then follow me back to my household and I'll tell you" said Lilith

With no choice the group followed Lilith back to her Manor

[Lilith Household]

When they arrived at the manor, they were guided to the discussion room while waiting for Lilith to come in

As time pass by Kaido started to look around the walls and paintings in the manor and nodded slightly as if he understands the meaning of such art

By this time Lilith came inside the room with her father Reinbach

When her father seated and does Lilith Kaido went back to his sit

"Greetings to our guest and also Rebecca whom I haven't seen for a long while! I heard that you chose to be an adventurer!" Said Reinbach

"Ah! Yes uncle after all I chose to be a free adventurer rather than a controlled noble who even in marriage needs to be arranged by its parents.... It's like I have no freedom to choose whom I want to be wed with" said Rebecca

This time Kaido glanced at Rebecca as if some of its questions that lingers in his mind has been answered, while Melfina just silently closed her eyes and listened attentively

"I see arranged marriage.... No wonder you left your household! But that isn't a reason why you should have left! By now your family is searching for you!" Said Reinbach

"It's been three months now and they still searched for me?" Asks Rebecca

"Seems likely" replied Reinbach

After a few silence Rebecca answered

"When the time comes that I need to confront them then I will confront them but for now we're here because of the reason why my best friend Lilith is getting married! By the way who is this guy?" Stated Rebecca

After Pondering for a bit Reinbach answered

"It's Marcus a son of an earl who runs the opposing business"

"What?" Asks Rebecca

"Our family business is falling apart Rebecca! We don't know how or when but the moment a sign of relief befall us we suddenly went downhill just like that as if it was used by some kind of voodoo" continued Lilith

"That's impossible! Uncle! Your business is like an ancient business with history! How come it can be brought down by a mere business whom just sprouted out of its best?" Asks Rebecca finding the answer

"We don't know for ourselves! It's been a month now but we've been declining by then and if this continues  we will be left with nothing! Even my wife became sick cause of overwork trying to reverse the situation" said Reinbach

"Even aunt who excelled in business?" Asks Rebecca as if she can't believe what she's hearing

"Yeah! And thus they're.family suggested that in order to save my father's business they will have to let me marry into they're family and thus elevating the burden from my family" said Lilith dejectedly

"We can't do anything about it! Dear Rebecca... We have no choice! And plus I don't want my family to wither in hardship" said Reinbach

"No way" muttered Rebecca

This time Kaido realized that not all nobles are a bunch of assholes after all

"Um if I may! But are you having problem in business cause of this so called Earl family and now demands the hand of your daughter to solve the issue?" Asks Kaido

"Uh! Yes thats the situation! I'm sorry to drag your time like this" apologized Reinbach

Seeing this Kaido was shocked at the same time snugged in his mind stating that such family amuse him and since that was the case he can't let this noble household decline

"I think that's a big bullshit!" Said Kaido

All of them looked at him and asked

"Bull... What?"

"I think there's a bigger conspiracy over here you just need to piece it together" he said

"Since i've taking a liking to your household I think I'll lend you guys a hand" said Kaido

Hearing this both Rebecca and Melfina looked at him in astonishment

"Kaido-sama your saying?" Reacted Melfina

"Hehe!"

"I'll show you just how I can overturn this situation around and ruin the opposing business with the mind in which those damn scientist messed around with"

Hearing those strange words they begun to be confused

"Scientist? What's that?" They asked

"Do you have a way?" Asks Lilith

"Well see what those damn scientist inputted in my brain can do" said Kaido

"Why? What's in your brain?" Asks Melfina

"A damn organic super computer"
