Not long ago, We arrived in the place where Eve was supposed to find the White Sole.
The aforementioned girl was being overpowered by the proprietress’ shouts.
Enraged, Eve rushed over and beat up the proprietress.
I also did some kicks myself.
Eve now left the store together with the girl.
They will be able to meet up with Seras if they could keep silently walking through the area.
If they were to successfully meet up with her, they could bring away the girl without anyone knowing who could have taken her away.
However, Eve was too upset that she barged into the shop and beat up the proprietress.
Well, I don’t know what to feel about this.
Besides that—
[…………………..]
I also had my own problems.
▽
[I- I won’t be able to keep my promise…?]
Right now, the proprietress who was looking after the White Sole fell on her butt right in front of me.
I stood in front of her and looked down at the proprietress.
[You will definitely tell the truth straight away after the Duke asks you. Which decision would you make if you want to get more profit in the long run? Is it that were-leopard who beat you up and disappeared? Or is it towards your “precious customer”, the Duke-sama?]
[Guhh…]
[And additionally, you don’t look like someone who had a strong sense of duty. You’re the type who would hold on to someone who you could profit in the long run— What do you think? Did I hit the bull’s eye?]
[Ngguhhhh… In the first place, w- what the heck is your problem? Who are you?]
The proprietress is trying to find a way out of trouble.
Earning some time by making some conversations, she tried to find a way out.
A way out that doesn’t exist.
[Who am I, you ask? I guess you could say that I decided on being an overwhelmingly good person. Didn’t you see me rescue that girl who was being treated badly by you earlier? I decided that I’m an Ally of Justice.]
A vein suddenly popped out of her head.
I think she understood that what I just said is nothing but an empty answer.
[Y— Yoouuuu!? Did you think you could get away from doing this to me!? That child was supposed to be the one that Duke Zuan-sama would get custody over in the future! In other words, you went against that gentleman! It’s the end for you both! That includes that filthy beast! Buhyahyahya! Serves you right! But well… I could still possibly forgive you, you know? If you were to retrieve that girl back to me before that beast leaves the royal capital, I would keep quiet about your existence!]
[That girl’s reaction has made me realize the situation right away.]
[Aahhh…? What the heck are you talking about?]
[When you approach right next to someone and shout right into their ears, do you feel better?]
[………………….]
[In addition, you’d suddenly do that without showing any signs that you’d do it. So that you could scare off someone.]
[………………..]
[If that were to keep going on, that person you kept on scaring becomes very sensitive to loud noises… Every time they would hear a loud sound, the memory of being shouted at by you would keep on flashing back into their minds. And each time that happens, they would become worried whether they did something wrong again.]
First, they would shrunk back upon being startled by loud sounds.
Immediately afterwards, they would peek around the area and look for the expressions on the faces of everyone around.
I understood this well.
Because I used to be the same as her.
Yes— I’ve already seen someone like this woman long ago.
She really resembles them.
My real parents.
[Looking at her reaction, I already had a good idea of how you usually treated that child. If I were to match her reaction with your f*cking response, then I know that my decision is definitely not a mistake.]
[S—- Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UPPP! Whatever, so what!? It’s none of your business!]
[I don’t like it though.]
[What?]
[I thought of just living peacefully along with that child without thinking about whatever you did to her but… Even so, I don’t like it.]
[What are you…!?]
[Well, we still have to seal off your mouth… They would probably guess that Eve ran away with that child with her… However, they might not make sure a decision easily if I were to kill you, the only witness.]
Even idiots would know the difference when something is decided or undecided.
They would still consider “other possibilities” when something is undecided.
[Guuhhhh…! I told you that it’s already over for you if you keep doing this! I’m the only one who could save you from that terrifying duke! Are you listening!? It should have been clear that you should beg for my forgiveness, right!?]
I took a deep breath.
[It’s already clear to me.]
[Ah?]
[The one that’s life is already over is you.]
The proprietress quickly looked around her shop.
She should know that she couldn’t negotiate with the man in front of him.
Her face shows that she has realized it.
The proprietress opens her large mouth.
