Proposal for a Quality Guarantee Certificate
“In other words?”
“In that case, we just need to carefully ask about the exact situation in which it was damaged or broken, and then recreate those same conditions to verify it.”
Yeah, Papa. As expected.
My Papa really gets things fast, he’s smart, I knew it. Compared to that, Captain Luke… a bit disappointing.
“Yes, if we reproduce what was described and it results in the same kind of damage or breakage, then we can prove that the claim matches the actual condition.”
Mm-hmm, Sebas, just as expected.
“That’s what I was getting at too. Yes, that’s exactly what I meant.
(Huh? Why are Downey-sama, Young Master Kaito, and Sebas all looking at me? What’s with those eyes? Why are they looking at me like I’m a disappointment!?)”
“Then, this is the conclusion of our discussion. We will ensure the highest quality for our products, and we will place our family crest on them. When selling, we will always include a quality guarantee certificate. The guarantee period will be six months. If the item is damaged or breaks within that time, we will provide free coverage. However, it won’t be unconditional, we will verify the situation, and only if it can be proven that it was not due to intentional damage or negligence will we replace it free of charge. Is that acceptable?”
Papa, you summed it up so nicely. Amazing.
So cool.
“Papa, wait a second. We might not need to cover damage. Things get scratched, worn down, and eventually break as you use them, right? So I don’t think we need to guarantee scratches.”
(Whoa… he even thought of that?
Kaito, my son… you’re just like me.
No, even beyond me. No… Kaito has knowledge we couldn’t even come up with. It’s incredible, but also dangerous. There’s a risk someone might try to kidnap him or use him to steal that knowledge. We absolutely can’t let his intelligence be exposed.)
“You’re right. Good, then we’ll exclude damage coverage.”
“Sebas, compile this discussion and submit it to me. I’ll approve it immediately, so begin preparations.”
“Understood, Master.”
“Luke, continue investigating the ‘old man’ and any nobles connected to him. Also, it would be a problem if others start copying this scheme. Strengthen enforcement on that front as well.”
“By your command!”
Ahh, thank goodness. Sebas and Captain Luke didn’t question how smoothly I was talking.
Hm? Papa, why are you staring at me?
“Kaito, since when have you been able to speak so fluently?”
Crap, he noticed. How do I dodge this?
“Well, you know, Marle talks to me a lot, and we talk a lot together, so… I got better at talking!”
Please! Did that cover it?
Glance. Papa, your eyes are sparkling.
Stop coming closer with your arms wide open~
I like hugs, but you’re too strong~
And stop rubbing your cheek against me, your beard’s all scratchy~
I’ve had enough kisses already.
Your love got through plenty.
“As expected of my son. Well done.”
