Chapter 268 (2/2)

Ichika, just when did you set up that advertising agree to earn some pocket money She’ll probably just use it all on slots and food anyway

So with all that, it looks like shi+kina’s actually able to work as a waitress, but can she protect Ichika’s secret?

Note that I’d told Ichika to tell shi+kina some secret and have her keep quiet about it towith us for a while, her ability to keep a secret is so to confirm

I need to kno eon

Well, I don’t exactly intend to tell her the secret even if she’s able to keep it, but it’s athe uess it’ll affect hoe handle things if she finds out?

I called shi+kina over to the lounge and asked her for a report of what she did today

“Hey, shi+kina Is there so that I’?”

shi+kina inclined her head and put her fingers to her lips

“Uht My panties today are white! Do you want to take a look?”

Saying that, shi+kina unhesitatingly flipped up her skirt

Yep, they’re white Disappointing elf is disappointing

“That’s not what Ifrom me… for instance”

“Oh yeah, I didn’t report it because she said that it was a secret, but she toldabout referral fees!”

shi+kina spilled the beans all too quickly

She didn’t even try to hide it What a talkative mouth she has

“… Didn’t Ichika tell you to not say anything?”

“She did say that, but not going against your superior’s orders is common sense”

“Wasn’t Ichika your superior?”

“You are the owner of authority here, Master Kehma Therefore, Master Kehoes by rank

For shi+kina, everything’s divided by rank You follow those above you

She’s like a dog

“By that standard, who is the topmost rank for you?”

“Sir! I have sworn my loyalty o my country, so that would be the emperor!”

“So if I told you a secret… and if the emperor ordered you to tell them, you would?”

“Sir! It is as you say!”

“If the emperor told you to kill civilians, would you?”

“Sir! I would kill them!”

Seriously? You could’ve hesitated at least a little

That even causes ht in the iht places orders above even friends and faht right now though”

“M-ht!”

Yeah, I know I have to hide everything related to the dungeon from shi+kina

By the way, I recall that there was a guy who tried to destroy the dungeon core despite knowing it would go against imperial orders He was taken care of in the end, but there’s no way they’re all as united as shi+kina said

… At the very least, I should teach her enough so that she can keep secrets froht now she’s no different froole better left unsaid

Right… let’s also have her learn how at least be ashah that she’ll have soh that there’ll be some noble who picks her up even if she can’t return to the knight order

I established my policies on shi+kina’s educational plan
