Without a doubt, Jacinta was dumbfounded.
Completely so in fact.
Never mind Jacinta, just Jace and Liece were utterly petrified by the sight before them with frozen expressions of shock on their facersr.
“M-ma…”
Jacinta pointed at Airi and just constantly repeated that “ma” syllable while shaking, but even after some time, he still couldn’t spit out the latter half of what he was trying to say.
“Ma-?”
Shien just blinked with a puzzled expression.
As for Airi, she just gave Jacinta a glance. Then she took a look at her hand that was still being held by Shien’s, went silent for a moment, before finally turning her gaze back onto Jacinta.
It was a cold and warning gaze.
Jacinta shuddered at that, comprehended the message sent, and shut up in terror.
Shien on the other hand, seeing Jacinta’s reaction to Airi, spoke up with a curious tone.
“What? Do you know each other?”
Obviously!
Jacinta really wanted to reply with that.
Even if all the demons in the world were to die, there’s still no way that he could fail to recognize the one before him.
It’s exactly because of that that he’s so shocked and flabbergasted.
Why is the Master here?
Why is Princess Lucilosti’s favored person here?
Why is that person holding the Master’s hand?
Who am I?
Where am I?
What was I doing?
Jacinta’s mind was completely tangled up like that.
Since even Jacinta ended up like that, then never mind Jace and Liece.
Those twins who rather disliked Shien from the start, at this moment, were completely panicking at the sight of Airi who was obediently holding Shien’s hand.
“You…”
“You’re…”
The two of them were also trying to say something in a scratchy voice, but they too were unable to spit out a complete sentence in all that time.
This entire situation made Shien really want to make a sarcastic comment.
“Do demons have some kind of problem with their voice-boxes, to the point where they cant’ even get a complete sentence out?”
It was quite an impolite comment that.
Of course, Shien had actually realized something from the three’s reactions.
And that was that they definitely know Airi.
They also know Airi’s true status at that.
(As I thought. This little girl is…)
Shien gave a glance to the side at the emotionless looking Airi whose hand he was still holding with complicated feelings.
It’s basically set then. She’s definitely one of the most amazing big shots among big shots, and she’s also one of the group that he can least afford to provoke at that.
This made Shien feel quite a bit of pressure.
Knowing too much isn’t necessarily a good thing.
At the very least, if he wants to tease this loli in the figure, he may end up hesitating now that he knows just how amazing she is.
This is unquestionably something that would make one sigh.
Therefore, Shien let go of Airi’s hand.
And then… He picked her up and hugged her the second after.
“Pff!”
Jacinta’s eyes widened and he couldn’t stop himself from doing a spit take like he choked from sheer shock.
Jace and Liece’s legs wobbled. They nearly collapsed right down onto the ground in their own shock.
And this time, it was Airi’s turn to be flabbergasted.
“What are you doing?”
Airi turned her head and looked at Shien with a dumbfounded expression.
Shien just continued to hug this soft little girl with a completely nonplussed expression.
“No reason. It’s just that you guys seem to be having some issues and don’t seem like you’ll be able to say anything for a while, so I decided to take a more comfortable position to watch your little performance.”

That declaration utterly silenced the scene.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Jacinta, Jace, and Leice’s mouths were twitching in silence.
“…”
Airi’s own eyes were twitching. She seriously got the urge to slap Shien to death now.
The four demons simply looked a the only human among them with a fantastic look.
Jacinta’s party of three especially. They were looking at Shien like they were seeing a Hero.
Both their expressions and gaze were blatantly saying one thing.
“You just did something completely amazing, don’t you know?”
Truth be told, Shien really did know.
Given how terrifying the true status of the loli in his arms was, how could Shien not have known just how amazing his current actions are?
But if it wasn’t so amazing, then Shien might not have even bothered doing it.
Besides, so what if he did it? What are they going to do about it?
That was what Shien, who was just reminiscing over whether or not he’d end up hesitating to play with the loli in the future, was thinking as he continued to grin at Jacinta.
“So, Lord Jacinta. Why might you be here?”
Shien continued to act like he’s just curious.
Jacinta was silent. His gaze constantly flicked to Airi like he was trying to get a read on her attitude.
Airi however didn’t say anything. She just let herself be held by Shien resignedly like none of this had anything to do with her. Her previous joy was nowhere to be found.
Jacinta had no way of knowing that Airi was happy just a moment ago though. He just saw her obediently letting Shien hold her without resisting. Thus, his gaze toward Shien finally changed.
In that instant, Jacinta was certain.
Previously, the person that his little master had said that she was interested in was in actuality the Princess’s favored person before him now.
No, based on his little master’s attitude, she’s clearly not just merely interested in this person.
At the very least, Jacinta had never seen his little master act completely unresistant to being hugged and act like an actual good little kid.
That Shien…
Jacinta’s mind whirled with calculations, but in the end, he hid them all deep down.
“I never expected to see Sir here, what a surprise.”
Jacinta took a deep breath and attempted to show a smile. However, perhaps due to the fact that his utter shock still haven’t fully faded yet, his smile looked rather forced.
Shien didn’t mind it though.
Shien only cared about one thing.
“Looking at how your lordship was acting just now, you seem to be looking for something, right?”
Shien’s smile was brilliant and curious.
That look made Jacinta twitch some more.
It’s because he knows that Shien is definitely trying to get some information from him.
He knew full well that it was because of this person’s suggestion that the Princess ordered the areas around the Capital to be locked down, thus somewhat obstructing his actions.
Thus, Jacinta knows full well that this person is nowhere near as honest as he looked, and that he’s not someone easy to deal with.
Of course, if it was before, Jacinta wouldn’t have minded if Shien wasn’t easy to deal with. Rather, he would have even found it interesting.
But now…
“What are you looking at me for?”
When she saw Jacinta look toward her again, Airi impatiently spoke up while still being held in Shien’s arms.
“You’re being asked a question here. Answer.”
Those words nearly made Jacinta kneel right down on the spot and honestly start answering all of Shien’s questions.
Jacinta ended up laughing bitterly to himself as well.
This time, he’s one who was certain now.
Is his master amazing?
Of course she is.
Just like Shien had thought, his master is definitely a member of that most amazing group.
But since he was able to make his amazing master act so obedient, doesn’t mean that Shien is even more amazing?
Thus…
“Not to be provoked, not at all.”
Jacinta confirmed that to himself.
