"... but... so are you guys really good?

When Shester asked in surprise, Azio replied that it was truly obvious.

"Yeah, fine. Isn't that right, Tran?

Shaken by Azio, Tran nodded silently.

"... Oh, speaking of which, wasn't Baltic finalised yet... what do we do, Baltic?

Asked Balto as Azio seemed a little mean.

Then Baltic responded surprisingly.

"I have not received a wage or anything from anyone else. Therefore, giving a salary over the Schneider family will not double. Therefore, I would like the Schneider family to pay their salaries as a just price for their work."

When everyone was surprised by the demand for a clear salary that didn't look too good on Baltic, even Baltic at the time took words unexpectedly.

"What are you all so surprised about? I assume that my offer is a natural demand as someone on the hire side?

Then he said with a face like Azio had been stuck by a fox.

"... Oh, well, yeah... I didn't think Baltic was going to make a demand for his salary, so you kind of cheated on him. But, well, the request itself isn't strange at all. It's not like any clean white knight works unpaid. It's just... if you're really not hired by anyone else... we're talking about it, right?

"I am not currently employed by anyone else. No matter how many times you ask me, my answer remains the same."

"Is that true? Isn't that weird about anything? 'Cause you've been on Comette's side as an escort since she was so tempted, haven't you? Then at least that's when someone hired you to take care of the escort, right?

Or what? And then there was some sort of circumstance, and my employer disappeared, but you're gonna tell me that you're still in charge of escorts, free of charge?

Then Balt raised the corner of his mouth only slightly.

"... what if I say yes?

Although Azio was silent for a moment on everyone's unexpected Baltic answer, he quickly recovered and started fighting back.

"No, no, no, no, no, that's not true, is it? It's not a charity, it's pro bono on the way. It's not like there's any... That's right, Comet! What do you think? You'd think Baltic was supposed to be hired by someone, wouldn't you?

Suddenly Azio shook him, and Comet fluttered.

"What!?... Oh, no... well... I guess my father put it on me... because he vaguely thought so..."

"Don't you? Did anyone... think Baltic was hired to put it down at this time? See, what do you say, Bart? Even Comet, who you've been protecting for decades, says this?

Then Balto laughed at Azio spiralling his nose.

"Azio, I tell you, what matters is not what Master Comet thinks. I will only protect Master Comet in the light of the samurai's possession until my life comes to fruition!

Balt said that in no way to his will, he just happened to put his arms together and pushed silently.

Shester became the thought of seeing a brilliant samurai in such a Baltic position, and when he nodded loudly and strongly, he was deeply impressed at the bottom of his heart.
