Leo's matter is already taken care of, at least for now.
Somehow it’s been resolved easily.
I sighed and felt relieved, Gyes also relaxed his tense posture.
The tensed atmosphere in the room is now relaxed.
Then, suddenly Gyes turned his face towards Rinia.
[shiver] Rinia's body suddenly trembled.
"And, Rinia... the Dora cat, why are you living in Rudeus's house?"
"Ah, that’s right, this fellow, this fellow was trying to start her own business but she borrowed huph~~- "
"Listen to my wonderful story Nyah!"
Interrupting what I was saying, Rinia suddenly started telling her own story.
"After parting with Pursena, I was thinking of starting a new bussiness Nya, then on a certain day I received a divine revelation from the sky, after I had followed that revelation, I arrived at Magic City Sharia, and what I found is that Holy Beast-sama was hidden in there, and then I knew This is it Nyah, because of this I got a revelation to visit this city again, for the sake of looking for Holy Beast-sama, the heavens gave me such a revelation! Achishi, in short there was no way I was gonna forget about the Dorudia tribe's duty, rather it’s the opposite, it’s my duty to return to the village to report this, to fulfill my duty as a warrior from the village! "
Amazing.
How dare she shamelessly blurt out such bold lies.
Perhaps she'd been planning this since she heard about the trip...
Gyes's face is full of doubt, but it looks like Minitona and Terusena are convinced.
Just sometime ago they were looking at her with scornful eyes, now they're looking at her with eyes full of respect.
These girls are so simple.
But there is a man here who is maintaining his scornful look, a man who has already grown into a respectable adult... He could read this girl like a book.
And from his own experience he determined that lying isn't good, she should grow up into a respectable adult like him.
...... But, well lying, is NG.[1]
"Gyes-san, this fellow here, she was trying to start a new business, but, she was swindled and got saddled with a huge debt, not to mention that she'd been finally sold as a slave and came to my place to get help. Well, you could say that she is tangled in another kind of debt now."
"I see"
"Nyaa! Boss, don’t say the true reason!"
Minitona and Terusena's facial expressions, instantly turn into contempt.
"And now she is working hard in my house, in order to pay her debt."
"That... I wonder if she is Rudeus-dono's slave?"
U~m.
Come to think of it, Rinia is Gyes's daughter.
If a man knows that his daughter has become a slave, what would he think?
If it were me, and Lucy became a slave, I don't think I would let her master get out alive, the chance of that isn't zero.
But no, lying is bad.
"That is, That’s the truth... but, I never treat her like a slave. She is a friend that needs rehabilitation..."
"No, it doesn’t matter. To throw away her money-making mission and finally doing her duty, I feel indebted toward you Rudeus-dono, you’re my family's hero, I’m sorry for my family always causing you trouble, I hope I could do something to pay this debt from my family. Please do anything you want to me whether it be to boil or grill me."
Oooooh.
Gyes, during the time I was not seeing him, it looks like he understood how to speak like a true man.
No, that face, rather that face is a face of someone who lamented about their bad daughter.
"Dad, wait a minute isn’t that a little cruel? Achishi, however it was only a little trouble. Soon I will be transformed into a noble to comfort your worry no matter what..."
"If I remember correctly, Rudeus-dono has been a man full of vitality since he was very young. Mating season will begin very soon, at that time please use Rinia to your liking."
"Nyah! Dad, what do you think your daughter's chastity is?!"
Rinia raised her fist, but Gyes looking at that with a sharp glare then flashed his eyes.
He let out a howl along with a thundering voice.
"Shut up. If you’re a Dorudia race, return the favor with your body."
"U, uuu.....wa, I understand nya......achishi, I’m a bad kid Nya........ "
Rinia surprised and in no time, she's instantly curling her body behind me to hide.
It’s fine if you want to hide behind me, but don’t press your breasts so strongly against me.
Because I'm not going to accompany you in the mating season.
"Anyway, now that Holy Beast-sama has become like this, someone must act as his caretaker, don’t you agree? We already don’t have anything to pay Rinia's debt. So please take her back with you."
"Understood."
