6.25 Their Story.

[2] Some peoples agreement.

Is this the real map?

Well, have you ever seen us lie to you?

The woman who was looking over the map grinned.

Impressive. You made a map this big in such a short time.

It wasnt that short a time, but it did take up quite a lot of cash. Mm Honestly, this is a little too big of a request for just a single person. That guy doesnt have limits on money, after all. Safety is best, he says.

Hm, he did save my life a few times thanks to that.

Those eyes arent that of a person who got saved by someone?

The small man looked up at the woman suspiciously, and gulped down the tea in front of him in one breath.

The mans the saviour of our town. This might be a fair trade, but if you harm him even a little bit, youd be making an enemy out of our entire species.

Ahh, I have no intentions of doing anything like that. Its just he saved my life, so now he has to take responsibility?

What?

In other words take responsibility for taking away a girls heart?

That just makes it all the more confusing.

Just think of it as me taking good care of him.

That man wont be willing to be taken care of.

Thats what makes this all the more fun.

The man sighed.

Hah Im not sure if Im even doing a good thing here.

Hes going to be happy, and Im going to be happy. And my subordinates in the continent are going to be happy as well. Everyones going to be happy, so dont try to delve into this all too much.

I dont understand why hes trying to run like no tomorrow from you.

Mm hes shy?

This time, the man made a truly dumbfounded face. That face soon changed into something of mock admiration.

Well, looks like you wouldnt listen no matter what I say. Send the money to our town.

Alright. You dont have to worry about that. Ill send the Mistein to the town as promised. Ill send other precious metals in the future.

And in turn, well provide you with weapons and armor. As you know, us dwarves dont go back on our promise.

The mans height didnt change much, even when he stood up. But the densely-packed muscles on his body despite the height seemed to prove that he indeed was a dwarf.

Hes a VIP. Treat her well.

Understood.

When she said this, a man whose black clothes seemed to scream Im an assassin! appeared, and disappeared.

Hmm~ to think hed be so close to me. Ah, I mustve been an idiot. I forgot he was like that.

She gripped her pen so that she could start writing letters to her subordinates abroad trying to find him, then turned to the map again.

Right hes really close. Well this time, Ill spend some time on this. Itd be wasteful if I lose him again?

After trembling in pleasure for a second, the woman made a demonic smile on her face.

Checkmate.
