“Well, I've been thinking about what kind of dress to wear these days…”
The man frowned at the unexpected remark
His expression fuly all the fine fabrics and accessories
“So fancy and fluffy I have alanted to wear so like that…”
I freely looked aze with a frowning face
“Hah, I just thought you were just wearing a dress I was looking for”
Oh, now that was a lie I wouldn't wear so like that even for a billion dollars You'd have to pay me more if I were to strut down a red carpet in it
But right now, I'm Raylene, a rich woman, so I won't wear it even if you paid me to wear it

“How rude of you to say that!”

“Let's stop fooling around and get to the point, shall we? What have you done to that child?”
I powerfully strode past the man
Then, I approached the child standing with his frail arms wrapped around his body
I immediately saw a peculiar burned injury
It was definitely the most serious wound I'd ever seen How did he even survive?
His whole face was bursting with bruises and the wound oozed blood Adding to that, his poor face was also distorted His skin was decaying, it clearly had not been properly treated
Even soe could see how dire the situation was
