Shadow Ruler Chapter 7 Part 2 (Patreon)

So, he was alive, that's why he came up to me.

Lily-san and the others who were watching my interaction with it were all groaning.

And because Lily-san and the others were in a panic, a lot of security guys came over.

And just the same, he asked where the demon was, and I told me that they would get rid of it as soon as possible.

So, I hugged it tightly and turned my head to look at him.

Why? I asked.

Then they fell to their knees.

"Hey... The security guys... How did you... This?"

"Oh, uh... It was in that box over there, wasn't it?"

"Looks like it."

"I don't know if they were good at hiding their presence or what, but they must have been well hidden and blended in... "

"So, normally, I'd have to get rid of it or do something about it right away because it looks like a demon, but Freesia seems to have taken a liking to it... She thinks she's just picking out a bag... What am I supposed to do with the money?"

"Nn~I don't remember putting a price on it... I mean, if I had, I would have noticed this guy on the spot, and I would have gotten rid of it immediately."

"I guess... Hey... Freesia... That... Do you want it?"

(Nod)

"You don't know when they're going to attack Freesia, do you?"

Would you attack me?

I just put it on the table and turned my head to see if it would...

-x-.

It hollowed itself out and put out an X-button.

Oh, you can communicate.

Then, will you come with me?

-O-

It can understand.

We are getting through to each other even though we are not speaking.

You know what I'm thinking?

-O-

By the way, do you speak?

-X-

Ah, I see.

I'm looking for a bag. Can you replace the bag?

-O-

It seems like it could be done.

Then I'll buy this one.

"... I don't exactly get it, but I hear she has decided to buy it... What do you propose we do?"

"Could you please wait a moment?"

The brother ran off somewhere.

Then, 10 minutes later

"Thank you for your patience. I heard that if you make a contract with it right now, it will be for free."

"Is that all right?"

"Well, in your opinion, is this a situation where you need to give money, how much would it be?"

"Well"

"For our part, we need to thank you for solving the problem before the money, that the demons were mixed in the store and that you found them before anyone was injured, and that you solved the problem by taking them somewhere from this place."

"Oh, I see... So, that's your opinion on the store side?"

"Yes, so we believed that by signing a contract, we would give them certainty that we would take them with us, and that we would offset each other's portion and make it free. Fortunately, there is no one here but us, so it couldn't be a better situation."

"Okay. In that case... In return..."

"Yes, we'll keep it quiet... "

"Of course. So, Freesia, you sign the contract with the guy, and you can take him. No money required."

(Nod)

I think the deal was that I had to give it blood and give it a name, right?

So I borrowed a knife from Dan-san and cut my fingertip a little bit to let the blood out, and it seemed that this child understood and took my blood and drank it? It drank it?

Then, the cut fingertip, which was wrapped in the child's body, somehow lost its scar as soon as I saw it.

I felt like my heart and mind were close to hers.

I mean, many people were surprised that I had so easily cut off her fingertip and made it bleed.

Carna too.

Usually kids my age are scared, she said.

But I'm fine.

I've been through so much that this doesn't scare me at all.

Well... It hurts a little, but it's only a little, so it's not a big deal.

Oh, your name... Nn~

Yes, I thought of one.

-Suisui-

Let's call her Suisui.

-◎-

It seems it likes it.

I'll take care of you from now on, Suisui.

When I stroked her, she jumped and jumped on me.

I was able to catch her, but she seemed to be holding back just enough for me to catch her.

Haah///

"He said it well. But I feel really bad that I got it for free."

"Same here. We got a little incident solved in advance for free. In some cases, it was hard for the store to deal with the problem... Trust and all that... "

"Oh... Well, how about we help each other out if something goes wrong? I don't know if there is."

"Well, I don't know if there is. If there is such an opportunity, we will cooperate. In your case, it would be enough if you let me leave the fact that your daughter likes my store."

"Is that so?"

"Oh, yes. Yes, because she is very pretty and has the magic of a good person."

"Oh, yeah. I don't want any trouble, do I? I don't want any trouble, okay?

"Of course not."

"I see you're talking to me normally now, huh?"

"Yeah, I've been around a lot over the years, so I've seen a few like you a few times. I've met a few like you before. Dogs and foxes, though.

"I see. Anyway, thanks."

"Oh."

So, I got a good deal, huh?

"Anyway, Freesia, keep an eye on that guy with the card."
