56 Chapter 56: Getting Rid Of Extra Baggage (1/2)

”Ah, by the way, the person's name is Asfius”

”Asfius?”

Yasaka muttered under her breath as she committed the name to memory.

”Yes, you will find him to be more than capable of helping you in a tight spot.”

Lambert said reassuringly

”Then I thank you for this gift”

Yasaka said as she bowed her head lightly.

”There is no need to be thankful, I happen to have a request of my own if you don't mind that is?”

Yasaka stared at him for a moment before she nodded and motioned him to speak further.

”I want you to take Masaomi and Cleria into your protection”

”What?”

”Huh?”

Before Yasaka could say anything Cleria burst in outrage out and Masaomi followed in his own special way.

”How can you just leave us after having taken the job in protecting us?”

Cleria raged, Masaomi on the other hand started thinking. He might not be the most powerful exorcist but he still survived to this day all thanks to his smarts... or maybe just luck but he would like to think it was because of his intelligence.

Lambert was very patient with Cleria and didn't think much of her outburst, but AUra on the other hand wasn't so kind not to mention she didn't have any good feelings towards devils in the first place.

”Watch your tongue while speaking to Master.” Aura spoke in a threatening manner as a light aura appeared around her finger that she was pointing towards Cleria.

Cleria was immediately placated, she was still fuming mad as was seen by her expression but she didn't dare to offend Aura.

It was at this moment that a finger struck Aura's forehead causing her head to bounce back.

”AUWWW!”

Aura yelled as she held her forehead that had a red spot on it while glaring menacingly at Lambert.

”Manners Aura is this how I raised you”

Lambert said in a berating tone as he stared at her, he then turned his head towards Cleria.

”I apologize for Aura's outburst CLeria, she is very... protective of me and has the habit of taking things to the extreme when I am involved. I also wish to explain to you why I think it is best for you to come under Yasaka's protection, I do not blame you for your outburst as the current few days have been brought on you and Masaomi”

Lambert said to Cleria, making her calm down after contemplating his words, she gestured for him to continue while making an apologetic face.

”Now... first things first, I am only one person and thus can't fully protect you even with Aura with me it will be quite the feat and Tosca's cuteness charms don't work on everyone I'm afraid, some beings are just too corrupted to appreciate it”

Lambert said smiling as he thought a bit of humor in the mix to lighten the mood.
