Chapter 78 (1/2)

A helping hand

While I was fl.u.s.tered somebody knocked on the door of the room.

Niiice.

Whoever you are, thank you very much!

Incidentally, everybody inside the room was stuck in a mental standoff, of course I focused on the person outside.

”Yes, who is it?”

Then I heard Sally's voice.

”It is Sally, Lillinojousama. I think Cristopher already came in, but I've got to report that the people accompanying him arrived.”

Oh, they are the those who got left behind.

They arrived unexpectedly early, didn't they?

Truly as expected of his attendants.

But, letting themselves be left behind in the first place is no good.

For the time being, I opened the door.

There's a big wall in front of me… Ah, it's a person.

Our eyes finally met when I gazed up.

Is he Chris-sama's attendant?

When I stared at the tall person, Chris-sama addressed his attendant from behind.

”Ah, Ryan, and Soul, it looks like you're earlier than I thought.”

Perhaps the man called Ryan was the tall one in front of me, and Soul… Ah, there.

I couldn't see him earlier, but behind Ryan-san there's another person with long bangs whose eyes cannot be seen.

Although e's not that short, in comparison Ryan-san is simply too big.

”It was sooner than Chris-sama thought, that's not it! Why did you go off alone?”

Ryan-san complained? to Chris with a troubled face.

On the other hand, Chris-sama, not showing a hint of worry, smiled and said.

”Yeah? You guys are just slow, aren't you?”

Oh, that's right, but… Look, the attendants, especially the tall Ryan-san, are remarkably depressed.

He's saying ”I am very sorry” in a small voice.

What's this feeling?

Ryan-san, with his watery eyes, looks pretty cute.
