“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 wasn’t 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 doesn’t 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 aren’t 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 man’s the saviour of our town. This might be a fair trade, but if you harm him even a little bit, you’d be making an enemy out of our entire species.”

“Ahh, I have no intentions of doing anything like that. It’s just… he saved my life, so now he has to take responsibility?”

“…What?”

“In other words… take responsibility for taking away a girl’s heart?”

“…That just makes it all the more confusing.”

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

“…That man won’t be willing to be ‘taken care of’.”

“That’s what makes this all the more fun.”
