Chapter 7.1 - The Addition of a New Companion; the Riddle of Steinbeck Fief’s Hidden Treasure Part 1 (1/2)
In the special restaurant within the underground black market, Clyde reached an agreement with that mysterious girl to protect her safety and become her bodyguard. According to the mysterious girl’s wording, she had no destination currently, so Clyde decided to simply take her along with him so that he could protect her at all times.
“Sister Lucifer, how come the smell of blood is so thick here? Did something happen?”
“Nope, there were just some annoying flies. Even after I waved my hand a few times, they didn’t leave, so I could only execute… No, take care of them on-site.”
At the entrance to the underground black market, after Clyde approached the carriage, he noticed the thick odor of blood, but he didn’t see any corpses. Therefore, he asked Lucifer, but Lucifer just smiled and indifferently said that some flies had been annoying her or some other nonsense. Clyde guessed that the flies she was speaking of probably referred to humans. However, Princess Saras didn’t seem to know what had happened. When Clyde and others had entered into the carriage, Saras had just woken up.
“Big Brother Clyde, where did you kidnap such a beautiful big sister again? Ya, it hurts! Didn’t I say not to hit my head? What if I become stupid?”
“Sister Lucifer, here you are going on about this foolishness again. I have never kidnapped a girl. This Miss is our investor.”
“Little sister, you… How do you know how I look like?”
“Secret, everyone has their own secrets. Big sister, you don’t have to conceal yourself. In any case, Big Brother Clyde is unable to do anything bad, for now that is. Wait! Don’t hit me!”
Upon seeing the mysterious girl, Lucifer directly determined the attractiveness index of this mysterious girl as if she had a unique perception ability. Under her curious gaze, the mysterious young lady seemed to be somewhat embarrassed. After confirming the curtains were properly closed, she took off her hood and removed the mask. Clyde finally had a clear view of his employer’s real appearance.
Lucifer’s judgment was right. The attractiveness index of this lady who had just hired him was even higher than that of Princess Saras. She was a silver-haired beauty like Lucifer. Her hair was tied with black headbands in a twin-tail style, but her eyes were the most beautiful part. One was pink in color, and the other was purple in color. She had heterochromia eyes. She seemed to have a kind of peculiar beauty. This might be the root cause for her concealing her true appearance. Her heterochromia eyes were too eye-catching.
Originally, Ista had had no intention to reveal her true appearance. Only after seeing Lucifer was also from a different race had she decided that she no longer needed to conceal her appearance. Ista wore a gorgeous black one-piece dress with crimson-colored decorations at the edge of the skirt and sleeves. In addition, there was a ruby sewed on for decoration just above her chest.
Around Ista’s neck was a black and white lace garland. No one could make out whether she was wearing a necklace or not, but this couldn’t conceal the fact that she was clever, rich, and powerful. When they had just met, Ista had revealed her hands with a ring on each finger to display her financial resources. From the viewpoint of attractiveness indexes, Ista also crushed Saras. Her beauty was something the Human Race couldn’t achieve. Other than slightly losing in the chest department, and their heights being about the same, Ista one-sidedly crushed Saras in all other aspects.
However, Ista had a figure of golden proportions. This point alone completely crushed Saras. Nevertheless, Clyde felt that Lucifer could rival her after she grew up. Now, Lucifer was a Lolita, so she was not on the same stage as Ista. In fact, they couldn’t even be compared for the time being.
