Chapter 62: 57

And so it was not long before Rio brought his minions again.

I never expected, after saying so myself, that they would fulfill my request so quickly. But the large number of cushions brought in one after another and the larger canteras. Fresh air from outside against my skin. Everything I requested is being fulfilled.

They said they would bring me hot water and food to cleanse my body later.

「I am a man who works fast.」

「…I think it’s very wonderful.」

I’ll admit that part honestly.

「Are you falling to me now?」

「Well, ufufufufu.」

Are you stupid? I wonder how many straightforward women you had dealt with that I would fall in love with something like this.

「That’s boring, Marsha.」

「My name is Marshallie.」

I wonder how many times I have to tell you, this guy. Is he not trying to improve or is he a real idiot? No, I think he is just trying to be funny.

「Boss, it’s finished.」

「Oh, thanks for your help. Ah, you said the other day that some hooker was trying to rip you off for your clothes.」

「Y–Yeah. Is that right…?」

After reporting that the rough cargo had been delivered, Rio suddenly asked a question to his crew.

「Where’s the tailor?」

「The tailor on the main street… You don’t think he’s going to buy it for her, do you?」

「He got something to complain about, ahh?」

「Well, not exactly, but…」

One of his minions gives me a jittery look.

「I never said anything about wanting you to buy it.」

It’s not what I would have wanted if you looked at me that way.

「It’s a man’s worthiness to buy clothes for the woman he loves, right?」

「Yeah, t–hat’s true.」

I was surprised at my own bar reading.

I think it’s just annoying to be gifted a dress by a man I don’t like. And it’s not just a statement of interest, it’s a statement of love, as if I didn’t expect it. I wonder what was it about me that made him fall in love with me. Oh, he’s not serious about this either, he’s just being funny, just like when he’s calling my nickname. Yes–yes, I’m convinced about this.

「I’ll be back soon to take a look at it, so look forward to it.」

「Yes–yes.」

It’s getting tedious to deal with every single one of them. But that doesn’t mean I should leave them alone. Our lives are in this man’s hands.

「Tch, he’s so excited…」

In the midst of such conversation, a faint voice of discontent was heard.

Among the roughnecks who were obeying the orders of Rio, the head of the group, I immediately noticed only one man who seemed to be very concerned about our interactions. And that the complaint came from that man’s mouth.

His still, dark, stagnant gaze was on Rio, not me. I know that gaze well. If Rio’s dark eyes are likened to emptiness, the distorted eyes of this disgruntled man are those of envy and jealousy.

「Kuku, he’s a moderately entertaining guy, too.」

Rio, noticing that I was conscious of the man’s presence, said in my ear with a quiver in his throat.

「That…」

I didn’t put the line, “I pity you,” into words. Instead, I looked up at Rio and asked for one no-no.

「Ahh, if you’re going to buy me clothes, can I even ask you to get me some basic cosmetics?」

「Buhah, you’re getting a little thicker, aren’t you, hey.」

「Shall I give you 『a show』again?」

You liked it, didn’t you? I am 25 years old and my skin is in the midst of turning. I’m not afraid to do that much for you if you want.

「Kukuku, do you understand? Men give women clothes because they want to take them off. Do you understand what it means to beg such a man for cosmetics?」

Meaningful? Sure, it’s meaningful if you think about it, but you’re reading too much into it. Or maybe he’s shaking me up to scare me.

「Hah, what an amusing nonsense.」

I snicker and show them. Sorry, but I’m already prepared.

「As you know, I’m not a lightweight woman who can get by with just one piece of clothing. Besides, if you are going to force me to do something, you should be prepared for it.」

I’ll give you my advice with a big smile and a big heart.

「I will take my life by any means necessary. With you along with me, of course.」

When Rio heard these words, he took them with a terrible smile to compete with my smile.

「Oh, man…」

Out of the corner of his eye, a man in his crew shudders and mutters a potty-mouth when asked the location of the tailor. The other roughnecks in the vicinity are cowering in the same way.

The room was now filled with a strange atmosphere. It’s definitely me and Rio who are making it, and the roughnecks are being pushed by the atmosphere. In a corner of my mind, I thought to myself, “You have a smaller liver than I thought.”

It was the small woman’s moan that broke the strange atmosphere in which no one could speak.

「Move!」

I came to my senses, and weaving my way through the rowdies standing there, I went to the woman. There she was, breathing hard and her face bright red.

「Get me some cold water, quickly!」

I couldn’t help but give instructions to the roughnecks as I always order my maids to do.

「Y–Yes!」

One of his minions, perhaps pushed by my spirit, left the room in a flurry. I hope I don’t come back to myself and say that I don’t need to follow his instructions on the way out.

「What are you dawdling about? Get me a blanket.」

I say this naively, thinking that if his minions earlier listened to me, maybe others will, too.

「W–Why the hell should I listen to you!?」

Right. It’s funny that the minion who just responded to me was so honest. He wanted to give up, but it was Rio who spoke up there.

「Bring it to her.」

「But, Boss!」

「Just bring it to her. That’s an order.」

It is an order to say whether or not. I appreciate Rio’s actions, but I wonder where his true intentions lie. He shouldn’t be benefited in any way.

But now is not the time to think about it. I hold the woman as quietly and slowly as possible. It’s to move her to the cushions they’ve laid out. However, it wasn’t easy to hold an adult woman in one’s arms, and it was even more difficult when she was unconscious.

「You want me to carry her for you?」

I know that it is most certain and safe to have Rio carry the woman for me. But I dared to ignore it.

「…I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to be patient.」

I spoke to the unconscious woman. Of course she doesn’t answer, but that’s okay.

「Hmph, and…」

With a lot of effort on my feet and legs, I managed to move her to a cot with cushions, albeit a little precariously.

「Kuku, you’re a thick-skinned, stubborn woman.」

It is the highest compliment.

I turned around and looked from one end to the other at the men peering at us, Rio in the lead.

「I forgot to mention that you shouldn’t only touch me, but also her.」

A low, cold voice came from my throat.

「I will disable you without mercy.」

Of course, I don’t have to say what, right?

I took one look at the roughnecks, who were cowering, or perhaps cowering, and my mouth was faintly raised.
