c6 (2/2)

“Wha!? Watch it you dumb dog! I’m killin ya for real!”

“I wish you’d stop making pa.s.ses at my man! I’ll kill you!”

“I wish you two would stop going kill this or kill that so early in the morning …”

Casca and Lady glared at each other from point-blank range, one can almost see the sparks flying between them.

They fight just like cat and dog.

Well, in a certain sense, they’re both part animals, so it wouldn’t exactly be wrong to put it like that.

Though things almost went critical for a moment, breakfast finished safely.

“s.h.i.+zu, gimme money”

After changing into a new suit, Casca went over to s.h.i.+zu with her hand outstretched.

She wasn’t even saying ‘lend me’ anymore.

All the same though, since she never intended to return it.

Now that she’s wearing a new suit, Casca looked like a mafia member.

Actually, she was kind of one.

As an aside, the reason Casca persistently wore a suit was because the Black Maria mandates its member to be wearing suits for uniform.

According to Boss Richelieu, an a.s.sa.s.sin wears a suit in heat or in cold.

“Please s.h.i.+zu. Once in a lifetime wish?”

“And how many times have you made wishes of a lifetime already …?”

Casca made a begging pose pressing her hands together, s.h.i.+zuru sighed.

The number of her lifetime wishes had easily reached three digits at the very least.

“Haah … I don’t have cash in hand because I have to go to the moneylenders on the way. Just come by the clinic later. Don’t put the arms on someone for it until then”

To mention why, it was because for some reason, they all would come crying to s.h.i.+zuru.

From the outside, he was already treated as the five year older girl’s parent or something along those lines.

“Thanks s.h.i.+zu! Love ya! I can have drinks tonight thanks to you!”

“Yeah yeah, love you too 3, seriously, don’t extort anyone”

“I’ll do my best”

So it’s something she had to give her best not to do?

That’s probably true. Despite the significant earnings from the returns of the job of a.s.sa.s.sin where she hand picks dangerous bridges and crosses it, Casca was eternally poor”

Use what one has, take what one doesn’t. She was unable to keep a living.

In Lady’s words, a stray dog was more reliable.

“Don’t drink too much. You have to give your regular reports to Richelieu tomorrow”

“… I’ll do my best!”

She paused before answering.

a.s.sured that Casca would be having a hangover again tomorrow, s.h.i.+zuru left his seat.

“Then I’ll go open the clinic. Lady, contact me if anyone comes here okay”

“Yes, I understand my dear”

Lady had at some point turned back into a wolf. She nodded.

Unlike Casca, her answer was something that s.h.i.+zuru could place confidence in.

“Also, Casca, come by the clinic through the back door. It’s not going to be funny if someone saw you come in through the front and put up rumors of me being made to pay protection money”

At that point s.h.i.+zuru thought. Isn’t that exactly the case?

Even though it wasn’t protection money, she was getting money off of him.

“The guards that come by to my place are going to get worried if they heard that … you’ve got a really bad reputation Ca.s.sie”

“Nyahahahahaha!”

She shrugged it off with a laugh.
