47 Chapter 47: Hoko (2/2)

”Well, I believe I should be asking you that, it was you that was haphazardly probing myself and my two companions.”

Lambert's voice immediately made the yokai girl freeze not expecting the old man to call her out in the open, it was actually a bit insulting to probe others as it was an infusion of there privacy, the fact that Lambert was speaking to her in such a friendly tone was already unexpectantly nice outcome, others might viciously scold her or worse just outright attack her something she thought the silver-haired woman was about to do.

”I...I...”

Her face was a bit red as she had a guilty look on her face, not only did she not get a scolding she was spoken to with such a kind tone, this immediately put Lambert in her good books.

”Ah, I believe you were stationed here to watch out for strange occurrences and guests. As this is the youkai territory they should keep tabs on everything, no”

Lambert spoke again his voice still calm and gentle but his words immediately made the girl freeze. She was stomped, how did this normal person know so much, but after seeing his kind but knowing smile she felt a chill run down her spine.

”Not normal!!! Not normal!!!” she screamed in her mind as she felt a heavy pressure by staring into his eyes.

After composing herself for a bit she looked at Lambert with newfound respect in her eyes, she had nothing to prove it with but she felt that this old mand that seemed to be nothing more than a mortal was even more terrifying than the silver-haired woman, she had no idea how right she was.

”My name is Hoko, Pleasure to meet you and Sorry”

Hoko said as her fox ears behind the illusion dropped a bit, something even Lambert found adorable.

”Well Hoko, a pleasure to meet you too, please don't mind me and my companions. Even if you have to report us to your superiors please let's them know that I mean no harm to your people and am simply making a small stop before continuing my journey. I still have a charge to protect and lead somewhere safe and would like to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Hoko nodded information before excusing herself and running off to report this information immediately, one or possibly two Ultimate class beings wasn't a small thing and the information should be immediately handed over.

The other employee just stared in confusion as Hoko ran of not understanding what happened to make her run off like that, he gave Lambert a suspicious look which Lambert ignored and returned to his seat waiting for Masaomi and Cleria to com down.

Not long and two figures came downstairs.
