Chapter 75

【”Coot eht! I get it! I forgive you! Please just stop talking about it!”】

Although Marika had been pouting and ignoring Clodette until now, it was too hard for her to stand her ground against such a natural airhead

It got to the point where Marika becaave up and stopped ignoring Clodette

【”But I'hness Lunaria your life was in danger, I thoughtyou…”】

Marika kne er she had put herself in

【”But when you think about it, didn't you put yourself in plenty of danger, too?!”】

【”H-huh?”】

The best example of this was the fact that Clodette had reported the fraud directly to the person responsible for it

If Serge had been a little more wary of her, Clodette would likely be dead by this point in time

【”By the way, how the hell did you becohness Lunaria? She's above even the head of the tax collection depart I' a merchant, but people from the tax collection office have a really bad reputation, so I couldn't get hired anywhere… Around that ti personal retainers to go with hierous but…”】

―― Bam!

【”Iiiih!”】

【”Are you an idiot? Do you have a death wish? Do you you knohat kind of place is Bashtar? Why do you think they're having a hard tio there?!”】

【”I-iiiih! But sir Kurats is kind and reliable, you know? Didn't you see how strong he is?”】

【”Yes, well… You're right, he really is incredibly strong”】

When Kurats dashi+ngly came in to save her, Marika certainly did feel her heart throb

However, the main reason she had leaked on herself was that Kurats had cut the assassin right in half with his Arachne thread This balanced things out,her impression of Kurats barely positive

【”Anyway, I'o talk to the chief right now about hiring you back”】

Clodette had been innocent froht after Serge's crimes were proven

【”It took me a lot of efforts to hire this cute retainer, would you please not take her from me?”】

【”Eh?”】

The voice careatly startled by Kurats' sudden appearance

【”Hehehe〜Am I really that cute?”】

Marika would normally have had a say about Clodette's bewitched reaction, but right now, she couldn't

Inside Marika'sto save her life, and lifting her embarrassed and dirtied self in a princess carry

【”F-for everything you did formy life, I' shy, Marika?”】

―― Barily hit a nearby table, ht

【”It's truly a relief to see to see that you are safe Clodette was immensely worried about you”】

【”I knoorried about her, too…”】

As she listened to Kurats' calm and cool voice, Marika couldn't even look up

She turned her face away, trying to hide the fact that she was blushi+ng like a little girl

【”I know you were I do And looking at her, I understand why you would be worried about leaving her by herself”】

【”What do you ht no look like it, but I actually have a reputation for being a strong woman, you know?”】

―― Ba!”】

If Clodette was strong, then every child in the world was strong, too

But that was okay Kurats and Marika did not dislike Clodette's small-animal-like spontaneity

【”But I'd like you to believe inI have, it's the determination and power to protect my retainers”】

【”I-I have no doubts that that's true but…”】

Marika couldn't co to say back

She was acquainted with a lot of nobles, and she was very well aware of how unusual the actions Kurats had taken the previous night were

It would certainly be hard to gather personnel to Bashtar

However, no noble would take the risk of fighting an assassin for the sake of soain realized how miraculous of a coincidence her rescue had been, Marika felt a chill

(So, how long do I have to keep acting like a gigolo?)

『I knohat I'! In my assessment, these tomen are quite talented They could be very useful』

While sighing in his mind, Kurats continued his act
