Right Now, I Don’t Know
When I showed her the IOU paper that the debt collector had brought with him, her expression immediately changed .
「Why……」
「It seems like it’s legitimate」
「I’m aware」
「Are you?」
「Yes……」
Delfina made a sour face . She took a sheet of paper out from her desk’s drawer, and lined it up next to the IOU paper that I’d brought .
It seemed like some sort of official document .
The content written on each paper was different, but the signatures at the end were identical .
Even I could understand that it was the same person who’d signed both papers .
「What is the meaning of this?」
「Right now, I don’t know」
Delfina answered with a quiet voice .
I didn’t really get why she looked troubled, but she gave an immediate answer .
「That was a quick answer」
「Right now, I’m connected to Kakeru-sama through our ‘trial period’」
「Hm? Ah, right」
I was wondering what she was referring to, when I recalled the first time I bedded Delfina .
She wanted a man who’s capable of buying everything she owns, but I hadn’t become that rich yet .
Therefore, as a substitution, we settled with a “trial period” .
「This is shameful of me, but the quality of my stocks has been going down; there have been a lot of returned goods . That’s why I said that honestly」
Having inhaled, she looked straight at me and declared .
「Right now, I don’t know」
「……I see」
I took my time digesting Delfina’s words .
（Kuku, there are so many interesting women around you . On top of that, every one of them is interesting in their own way）
I concur .
Delfina is good; other girls are good, too .
There are, indeed, many interesting and strong-willed women around me .
「How long until you know?」
「Right away」
She declared, but she was only showing her determination . [TN: The raw was actually quite unclear, so I’m guessing that he refers to how she gives determination, but not results, like how she always did]
She’s getting serious, so I guess it should be fine to leave this to her from here .
Delfina stood and clapped her hands .
The door opened, and one man entered .
It was her subordinate, who I’d seen many times .
Delfina whispered to his ear . Her tone was filled with anger .
Thinking that it should be fine like this, I took out the Warp Feather, intending to leave .
「What are you doing!」
Delfina shouted .
It was a surprised and angry voice .
When I looked, I saw the man, who had been obedient up until then, grasping Delfina’s arm .
He was bringing his lips closer, trying to kiss her and push her down .
……hah?
I rushed toward them, readying Eleanor .
The man’s head flew, and blood came gushing out, dancing in the air .
The head dropped to the ground as his headless body collapsed .
Still surprised, Delfina was panting .
「You okay?」
「……yes」
「What was that?」
「I don’t know . I was giving him orders, but he suddenly became like that」
「Were there any signs before he changed?」
「He did fall in love with me, but he was the coward type that had let a lot of chances go to waste . He wasn’t someone who would dare to attack me, even when I was alone, much less when Kakeru-sama’s present」
「Maybe he was drunk or high on some kinda dope」
（Both of them were unlikely the case）
「Mu……don’t tell me」
If Eleanor’s right, it is very likely that there’s a third party involved .
From the corpse of the man, a black substance oozed out .
If that thing possessed him, then it must’ve leaked out because the host died .
I formed a black aura-arm and seized the black substance .
It was the same as with that debt collector .
「This again . What’s going on」
「Aigina……」
「Aigina?」
「This man, and the debt collector… They’re both from Aigina . Moreover……」
「……Neora’s father as well」
Delfina nodded .
「Was there anything like this before?」
「There was nothing」
An immediate reply from Delfina .
I’ve seen this black thing back in Komotoria .
Then, now, there are suddenly a bunch of them .
「Is something going on in Aigina?」
To my murmur, Delfina solemnly nodded .
