165 Episode 160: It ’s scary to be an enemy, and it ’s scary to be an ally. (1/2)

Speaking of which, Mr. Manashiro--

When we had finished talking and stroking each other, Chris clapped his hands as if he had just remembered something.

I'm sorry to interrupt the call, but would you mind signing this form?

Is that a sign?　Okay, but what's the paperwork for?

The report on this one incident.

When we were having breakfast together earlier, I remember making it impatiently. You're really good at everything, really good at everything. You're very helpful in many ways.

There aren't many maids who are fearsome when they are enemies but so reassuring when they are allies.

''There's nothing like Manashiro-sama, who has done such a great job of being a lion in every battle. I'm committed to providing logistical support to Manashiro-sama so that she'll be able to give 100% of her power without fear of reprisal. As Travis' top maid, I'm only doing what I'm supposed to do.

He's really good at this...

I finished stroking him and signed about ten documents, thanking him as best I could.

........It was the last one of them that we had a problem with.

I had just about written down to the ”shi” in ”Manashiro.

Um....

What is it?

Do you have any unrelated documents mixed in here?

No, sir, I don't think so.

But you know what? Look at this.

What is this?

What's that... because it says 'marriage license' on it, doesn't it?

--!

Don't be so surprised...

Chris broke his usual poker face and showed his exaggerated surprise.

It was an unusual thing to see, or rather, I didn't know Chris could be so surprised.

It was a very fresh and unexpected attack, like a gap moe, and it made my heart beat a little bit.

He's also very beautiful to begin with.

Is she the type of teacher you want to have secret after-school lessons with?

I'm very sorry to hear that. I guess that's as good as Mr. Manashiro could do.

No, I'm not going to let this kind of thing go unnoticed...

''Lord Manasilo can read these particular ancient letters as well?

What...?

Chris told me to take another look at the document.

Geez.

On it was written the words ”Marriage Certificate” in Chinese characters.

In this world, the Chinese characters are said to be a special character used by the people who cut through the eastern frontier to build the fortified city of Dillinden.

d*mn, reading the Chinese characters was so commonplace, I read them so naturally...!

No, that's, you know, it's what's called one of those...

Oh no.

If Chris-san questions me about this, he'll know that I've been reincarnated in another world...!
