582 Yale and the Smuggler Association (1/2)

”Tawa, you know that you don't need to use this kind of clothes, right?”

Regardless of whose fault was, Yale wasn't comfortable seeing a child in maid's clothes.

”I love these clothes, master. I already spoke about this before. Grandpa Tofesh, you also heard it, right?”

Tofesh still felt uncomfortable being called like that by Tawa, but since he created her with Yale's help and then Yale forged her again several times, it wasn't wrong that Tawa considered him a grandfather.

”Yes, but I also agree that you look strange in those clothes.”

Tofesh had already heard Yale, and Tawa spoke about that matter before, so he felt that Yale was just repeating the topic, but he agreed that Tawa looked too strange with that outfit.

”Master and grandpa are too mean. I have been learning from the maids in this palace, and they praise me a lot.”

Tawa didn't act like a maid at all, at most as a little girl playing to be a maid, so the other maids felt that she was cute and helped her. Tawa just awakened her spirit recently, so she was really just a kid despite her enormous strength.

After all, Awat tried to influence her before she awakened a spirit, but the level he could influence was too small, so besides the fact that Tawa liked those clothes, she had nothing else that could make her a maid despite Awat's plans.

”Big sister, tell them something.”

Lar also praised Tawa a lot, but it was mainly because she felt the situation fun. She never expected to have a little sister that would like to act like a maid, so she decided to enjoy the situation instead of worrying about it.

”You are a very cute maid, but they are your father and grandfather, so they wanted to see you act more like a little girl instead than acting as a maid.”

Although Lar liked the situation, she wanted to make Yale happy, so she decided to speak a bit for him.

Strictly speaking, Yale was really Tawa's father since he was the one who forged her again several times, but for a weapon spirit, a master was more important than a father.

”I am a weapon spirit. I exist to serve my master. Acting like my master's daughter would be a huge disrespect for him.”

Although Tawa said that, her face showed that she was struggling to do it. She wasn't really feeling like that, but she didn't want to fail as a maid.

”Wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are a weapon spirit, but that doesn't change that you are my daughter. You can stop playing the role of a maid whenever you want and just act like my daughter, alright? Weapon spirits aren't slaves, you are part of my family. Just look at Lar, she acts as she pleases without a problem, don't restrain yourself by a role, I want you to be happy.”

Yale patted Tawa's head while speaking, but Tawa just turned back and rushed to outside the room while faintly saying some words.

”I have work to do...”

She was really confused by what she thought that was her duty and what Yale said, so she fled unable to understand what to do.

Yale knew that Tawa was confused, but he also knew that Awat was at fault for putting strange thoughts in her mind.

He had already scheduled a beating for Awat once the matter with the invasion was finished.

Yale was extremely protective of his family, and as he said, weapon spirits were still his family, so Yale was angry that Awat corrupted her with strange thoughts.

The other people in the room observed the scene without saying anything. Most of them wondered how great it would be if their weapons developed spirit, but after seeing how Yale treated Lar and Tawa, they understood that without caring so much for their weapons, they would never awaken a spirit.

However, most of them doubted that they could love a weapon as their own children like Yale did.

Yale noticed the strange gazes of the others, but before he could speak, a maid rushed into the room.

”Master Liye, the Smuggler Association contacted us and wanted to speak with you.”

Yale knew about the existence of the Smuggler association, but he didn't understand why they wanted to speak with him.

”I will speak here. I am not in the mood for secret meetings right now.”

Yale had yet to understand what was happening in that timeline, so he didn't feel like wasting time in a private meeting with the Smuggler Association. Moreover, he didn't like the Smuggler Association too much.

The maid didn't seem surprised by Yale's reply, and immediately a screen appeared in the air showcasing the person of the Smuggler Association.
