I was at a loss for words as I faced the old man bowing deeply in front of me.
After all, I'd never had someone much older than me bow their head to me like this—not in this life or my previous one.
It was the first time I'd experienced such a thing, and I couldn't find the right words to say to someone bowing to an elementary school student.
So I stayed silent, but Nina-chan, standing beside me, spoke up.
"Is this... a request?"
"A request... Ah, yes. I suppose you could call it that."
The old man, visibly flustered, nodded at Nina-chan's question and began to explain carefully.
"Lately, strange products have been delivered to people's homes under the name of my company. At first, I suspected it was a scam, but it seems that's not the case."
"Strange products?"
This time, I was the one who asked.
Given that the old man referred to it as his company, he was probably the CEO or president.
