#68
Amelie (Ruan follower 1 from the Guild), who hadn’t looked at the clothes she was supposed to be browsing and had been staring intently at Leon’s face all day, blushed.
“Right, to think there was such a handsome man… That, that wild charm! So sexy…”
Amelie, Julie… Are you two falling for Leon this time…?
A woman’s heart really is like a reed.
I shook my head while looking at Bellnoir’s face-obsessed duo.
Well, the (handsome man) marketing does seem to be working well…
“Hueong, don’t chase me-!”
“Tonight’s dinner is roasted rabbit.”
When you, a carnivore, say that, it’s really scary, you know…?
And if Binnie falls and gets hurt from running around like that, I won’t have the face to meet Winnie and Binnie’s parents as their temporary guardian. You tiger bastard.
I hurriedly approached and blocked the space between them.
“…Leon, you’re being disruptive, so please just stay still, will you?”
“Oh my, Master. Are you jealous right now? Don’t worry. My body belongs to Master.”
Ignoring my scolding, Leon wrapped his arms around his own body and threw winks.
“Ugh.”
“Tsk tsk, you’re slower than me. Aren’t you ashamed as a rabbit beastman, Winnie?”
“A cute rabbit is much better than a big dumb tiger. Zoe will like me more, right? Right, sis?”
Winnie, who had been pretending to retch and arguing with Leon, looked intently at my face.
I looked at Winnie’s sparkling pink eyes and answered as if enchanted.
“…Right, cute is the best.”
“Hmph.”
“Master! Think about it again, it’s me. The Golden Tiger you used to like.”
“Pfft, Zoe said so. Stop being clingy, it’s unsightly.”
“Right-! Leon… no, we’re cuter than Leon!”
I shook my head watching the second battle between tiger vs rabbit sisters that had started again.
“Ah, if it’s a tiger… could it be.”
“Yes, that’s right. As you can see… that man is the Golden Tiger who was trapped on Basement Level 7. Turns out he was a beastman. His name is Leon.”
“Ah, no wonder I thought his hair color was exactly the same as the Golden Tiger I saw back then, so he was a beastman…”
“Yes, like the rabbit sisters, he was living in the Beastman Kingdom and came to travel to the Empire, but it seems he was captured by the Secret Society.”
Leon briefly introduced himself and told us the reason why he had been imprisoned underground.
‘Hmm, while traveling, I met this guy named Victor who offered me expensive alcohol and asked me to have a drink together. So I accepted and drank it, but when I came to my senses, I was in that place.’
‘…You just accepted and drank what he offered? In a strange travel destination, and alcohol given by a stranger at that?!’
‘I hadn’t found a village for three days, so I was incredibly thirsty. Wow, I was completely fooled. That old man looked weak, but how did he move me?’
‘Are you saying such things so casually right now? You almost died, you know?’
‘…Master, why is even your angry expression sexy?’
‘Just go die.’
I recalled my conversation with Leon and felt disgusted.
That stupid tiger bastard has absolutely no seriousness about anything.
That’s when it happened.
With a jingling sound, someone rushed into the store urgently.
“Wi, Winnie, Binnie!”
“…Mom, Dad?”
“Mo… Mom, Daaad! Hueong!”
Finally, the rabbit sisters and their parents were reunited.
Their faces showed how much they had suffered mentally after losing their children.
“Sorry Winnie, Binnie. Mom wasn’t abandoning you… *sob*…”
“Livia, I told you that wasn’t your fault. If only I had gone with you, this wouldn’t have happened. What was so urgent… I’m sorry for not coming to rescue you sooner, Winnie. Binnie…”
“No, it’s because I didn’t listen to Mom and sis… Binnie was bad… Sorry, sorry hueong…”
“I… as the older sister, I should have taken better care of Binnie, sorry…”
Watching the rabbit family cry while each blaming themselves, tears began to well up in my eyes too.
Then Livia approached me and firmly grasped my hands.
“You must be Lady Zoe…? Thank you for saving our children. How should we repay you…”
“…What? No. Thanks to you raising Winnie and Binnie to be brave children, they were able to endure so well. All I did was bring the children out of that place.”
“No. Please let us repay you for saving our children. No, you must accept it!”
Even Winnie and Binnie’s father joined in, bowing repeatedly.
With their determination to persist until they heard the answer they wanted, I sent an SOS signal to Sophia and Fiona.
“Oh my, Mother. You must have had a hard time coming all this way, right? Please have some tea first.”
“Father too! Come, please follow us this way!”
As expected of elite employees, Sophia and Fiona quickly managed the situation and led the rabbit family to the reception room.
“Lady, then I’ll also go prepare to safely return the rabbit family to the Beastman Kingdom.”
With those words, Sir Aivan rushed out of the store.
If I go into the reception room now, they’ll make a fuss about giving me a reward again…
I hurriedly organized the scattered clothes.
“Thank you for visiting us today!”
<Somsom Boutique Closed>
After the last customer left and I hung up the closed sign, I looked at the closed wardrobe and said.
“…How long are you going to hide in there, Leon?”
Why on earth is he hiding in there…?
As soon as the rabbit sisters’ parents arrived, Leon quickly hid in the wardrobe.
I approached the silent wardrobe and knocked on the door.
“Leon, I know you’re in there, okay? Come out, quickly!”
“…”
“If you don’t come out while I count to three, I’m opening it. One, two… three…!”
Just as I was about to open the door, suddenly the long wardrobe door opened and a large hand grabbed me.
“Wh, what are you doing…!”
“Shh, stay still. Master.”
Grabbed by the wrist by Leon and instantly dragged into the wardrobe, I found myself in an embarrassing position, hugged tightly by Leon in the narrow wardrobe space.
“Le, Leon. Aren’t you going to let go?! And why are your hands going down!”
This perverted beastman is doing perverted things again…!
I struggled to escape from Leon who was firmly gripping my waist.
But he brazenly pressed even closer to me.
“Master, you smell so good.”
“Scent or whatever, get away!”
At Leon’s behavior of burying his nose in my nape and sniffing, my fists naturally clenched.
This won’t do, for perverted tigers…
Fists are the medicine!
I immediately clenched my fist and took a deep breath.
My target was Leon’s side.
Ready… fire!
“Ahhh!”
“I told you to get away!”
“Surrender, surrender!”
Leon, struck in the side, raised both hands and shouted surrender before I could throw a second punch.
I escaped from Leon’s embrace and opened the wardrobe door to come out.
Then Leon followed, rubbing his side.
“It was just, just a joke. Ow ow…”
“Stop fooling around.”
“Master, that’s too much… This is tiger abuse…”
So who told you to do such perverted things?
I was holding back from turning you over to the Security Force.
I glared fiercely at Leon, who was rubbing his side as if he’d been wronged.
“Try pulling that kind of prank one more time, and I’ll hang you upside down.”
“Okay… But Master, I think you hit me wrong… It hurts so much…”
“Don’t exaggerate. I didn’t hit you that hard.”
“Really, it hurts so much…”
I looked at Leon, who had sat down on the floor while clutching his side.
Leon’s brow was deeply furrowed, as if he was truly in severe pain.
What, is it real…? Don’t tell me I broke a bone?
On the verge of becoming an animal abuser, I hurriedly approached Leon.
“…Leon, does it really hurt? Let me see.”
“Yeah, here…”
Leon rolled up the shirt he was wearing.
I hurriedly shifted my gaze to his side that had taken critical damage.
“Huh, gasp… There’s a bruise. Are, are you okay Leon?”
“Master, that’s too much…”
Seeing Leon’s side with a dark bruise, I hurriedly pulled out the healing handkerchief.
“Ow, that must hurt. Sorry… Stay still, if I rub this on it, you’ll be fine.”
As expected, the effect of the healing item was amazing!
I let out a sigh of relief seeing his side completely clear of bruises, as if there had never been any.
“Phew, that’s done… Leon, does it still hurt?”
“…”
Without answering, Leon pulled down his shirt, turned around, and hung his head low.
