What I took Laust to was a room in the Adventurer's Guild that was barely accessible to anyone.

And because he was brought to such a room, Laust was visibly exposed to vigilance.

If I hadn't tried to use the receptionist's position to bring him in forcefully, Laust would undoubtedly have tried to escape me.

But I laugh secretly in my heart that if I take you this far, you're right on target.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Laust,"

"Huh? No."

At the next moment I bowed my head loudly against Laust and made an apology.

At that moment, Laust starts panicking like it's funny.

That Laust reaction, it was what I imagined.

Again, as I thought, Laust is pretty dull about the malice that is done against him.

Despite what can be described as an excessive reaction when it comes to malice towards my people, this is also confusing for me to just bow my head when I was so rambling.

My senses are distorted because I've been abused for years and I've distorted Laust's senses.

Having so decided, I grinned in the face towards the ground that this would allow me to use Laust successfully.

"This may not be enough to atone for what I've done..."

"Huh!"

At the next moment, pretending to feel guilty, I can undress myself.

Seeing what I look like, even more Laust began to panic......

I was driven by an impulse that seemed to make me laugh unexpectedly at that Laust reaction.

My aim, it was to use Laust's manners to offset my sins.

Laust crusaded the Hydra I had hidden.

That's just a coincidence.

That there was Laust near where Hydra appeared, or that she could crusade.

But what happens if, in fact, Laust crusaded Hydra, which I secretly asked for in anticipation of Laust's strength?

Even then, it would be inevitable that I would neck the receptionist with it, or that I would be given some punishment.

But to some extent sin may be offset and we can only avoid being enslaved.

Of course, there's actually no fact that I was asking Laust to crusade Hydra.

But even now, the facts can be made up.

If I ask you to, just let Laust testify.

To that end, the means by which I decided to take it was colour tricks.

With his jacket off and only his underwear on top, Laust turns a blind eye to me in such a way that he can't hide his upset.

To that Laust attitude, I decide that my colour tricks are effective.

It's about Laust, who's been abused before.

I guess I was never seduced by the opposite sex this way.

The militants seem to care about Laust too, but whatever the beauty, I'm more mature with my body.

There's no way Laust can escape my temptation.

With that in mind, I have a provocative grin on my mouth.

If this is the case, Laust must try to attack me with one more push.

That way, I don't know if Laust will be on my side, and if he doesn't, I don't care if he threatens.

Currently in a position to be called a hero, Laust hates unnecessary scandals and will nod easily.

That's what I think, and I smile at my mouth.

Somehow, I feel relieved inside that the worst has escaped.

"... may be rude to say in this state"

However, contrary to my thoughts, I could not feel the upset from Laust's voice, which opened its mouth.

"Sorry, I'm not going to get my hands on you.

... physiologically, you're the only one who can't. "

"... Huh?

And the next moment, Laust seemed hard to say, and still clearly told me so.

For a moment I couldn't understand the meaning of the words I uttered.

But after a little while, I finally recognize that's a rejection word, and the blood draws from my face.

Don't stay like this, I kept my mouth open reflexively as I was pushed back by that feeling.

"Ma, wait! You can like me..."

If we don't side with Laust here and now, I'm doomed.

So I try to expose my skin and make it look fantastic whenever I can and try to get my attention somehow.

"Huh!"

... but I stopped my hand when I let my clothes just go halfway.

Now I realize that my color tricks mean nothing.

In Laust's eyes, directed at this one, there was an unwillingness to hide it.

Seeing as Laust had been bewildered before, I thought it was a reaction because it was illuminating.

But that was only a mistake.

... all because of Laust's disgust at me for exposing my skin and turning away.

From the beginning, my color tricks never succeeded.

As soon as I realized it, I was losing strength from my body.

Laust certainly does not expose his anger to a previously abusive human being.

But that's never forgiven the person or anything like that.

If you just don't involve that human being. If you don't, you're just cutting it off.

I understand that now.

Laust turned a cold eye and opened his mouth to me.

"And now I'm not going to look any further than a woman."

"─ Huh!

To that Laust word, I could not hide my agitation.

Laust never spoke clearly of who the other woman was.

... but without asking my name, I understood who the woman in Laust's statement was.

"Nal, Sena......"

That was someone I was supposed to think I was better as a female charm until earlier.

At the earliest I could only be dismayed at the defeat that I had never assumed.

"Bye."

If you tell me that briefly, Laust leaves this room behind.

... I didn't have the energy left to just follow that back anymore.
