“That’s not true If you hadn’t stepped forward, ould have failed to rescue Ruahu, and I would have also lost my life I’m not so foolish that I can’t accurately assess the situation” Ru Hiana’s reply was firm

“In the first place, I told you that you could useRuahu” Even after Chi-Woo told her the truth, Ru Hiana replied as deferentially as ever and continued, “You did exactly as you proh you used me as bait, that’s no excuse for me to break the promise I made to you”

‘This is crazy!’ Ru Hiana ay too stubborn about her principles Chi-Woo tried to stay calm as he continued, “Other than that, Ms Ru Hiana, you saved me from that monster that suddenly came out, so you did ht?”

Chi-Woo looked at her with an expectant gli, ht?’

“With all due respect,” Ru Hiana said without hesitation “As so a hard ti with your statements I have no intentions to speak ill of you, truly, but those words sound like lies tome crazy! What the hell!’ Chi-Woo clutched his head and tilted his chin back; there was nothing deceitful about his words He wanted to roll around and scream

‘There’s no hope’ Chi-Woo was sure that the Ru family or whatever must be a special breed of spectacularly stubborn people If an idiot was firm in their belief, no words would work on thee his methods “…That’s your stance”

“Promises should be and must be kept”

“Unless it’s to kill Ruahu again with h other means, I will follow your orders”

“Hmph What do you see me as?” Chi-Woo snorted “If that is the extent of your will…I’ll accept your offer” Chi-Woo dropped the honorifics when addressing her “Good Ru Hiana, you are to…”

Then, Chi-Woo said, “Go inside Ru Aave precise instructions so that there wouldn’t be any ain

“…Are you serious, sir?” Ru Hiana’s eyes widened She raised her head and stared at Chi-Woo

“Yes, that’s it” Chi-Woo shrugged with a satisfied look on his face

“What you want froht,” Chi-Woo folded his arms and spoke with a solee you made to me”

Ru Hiana couldn’t look hed to break the resulting silence and said, “H, Ms Ru Hiana, but I know it’s also very tiring for caretakers You’ve been with hiht?”

“Then you should rest You weren’t able to sleep properly earlier because you were so concerned about Mr Ru Amuh You should at least take a short break Let’s meet each other later with a smile” Chi-Woo spoke nonchalantly and turned around

“W-wait!”

“What is it?” Chi-Woo’s face turned serious at Ru Hiana’s desperate cries “I just told you the price you have to pay, didn’t I?”

“But”

“Are you perhaps…unwilling to fulfill your proh you’re part of the Ru family, of all people?”
