The 3rd day.

「It’s breakfast time.」

The man who worked for him brought vegetable soup and bread for breakfast.

.

I had requested him to bring me something that was easy on my stomach, but I was not surprised. The soup smelled very delicious. To be honest, I did not have such high expectations for the taste, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I was also surprised by the fact that they were active at a time of day that, although I don’t know exactly what it was, my sense is that it was early in the morning.

「…Thank you.」

「You’re welcome.」

Exactly the same thanks and the same reply as yesterday.

『Yance,』as he is called, has a unique way of speaking and a charming smile despite his appearance, and he arranges them on the bed tray with a familiar hand.

「I don’t think the lady over there is going to be able to eat. I’ve prepared some food for her, but what do you want to do?」

Yance took one look at the woman who still had a fever and nightmares.

「Let’s see. Just leave the soup here.」

If she can eat when she wakes up, she should eat.

「If solid vegetable soup seems to be no good, shall I go make milk porridge?」

「…By “make,” do you mean you are going to make it?」

「Cooking is my hobby, so I made this soup myself. Don’t worry, there’s no poison in it, so you can eat it without any worries. Oh, it would be safer if I took a bite now!」

Saying so, he took a quick sip of the soup and said,「It’s delicious, even for me!」Yance praised himself.

I was surprised at the quality of the food, which I could tell from the aroma alone, despite the fact that it looked like something out of a book or a play, and that it was the work of a villain.

「Looks aren’t always what they seem.」

「Hya-hyah, I can’t speak for others either, Miss.」

「What do you mean by that?」

「Ahya, you’re not even aware of it, are you?」

Yance laughed and pointed to my head with a thump.

「My head…? Ahh, I let my hair down, but so what?」

I took it down last night when I got hot water for the hot tub, and since I didn’t have a mirror, I put it all together on the side. I didn’t have any ties, so I used a handkerchief I had in my pocket.

「I thought you looked like a scary woman when you were holding her head like that, but when your hair is tied up like that, you just looked like a fragile young lady.」

Sure, I was angry to the max at the time, but I was a genuine weak damsel who was just trying to put up a false front to avoid being licked a bit. It’s not that surprising.

「But that’s not just because I’m pathetic.」

I wonder if it’s manly of him to be intimidated by my awesomeness. Well, I don’t want you to be so confident.

「I don’t deny that. But the other guys said『you were scarier than the bears they encountered in the mountains,』hyahyahya!」

Isn’t it too much to say “bear” to Yance, who is smiling with his big mouth open? I felt some irritation, but ignored it and took a mouthful of the soup they prepared for me.

「…It’s delicious.」 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

The aroma alone gave a sense of high quality, but the taste was also outrageously delicious. It tasted as good as the food at my Viscount home.

「You, why are you doing this?」

「You’re asking me some weird questions.」

It makes me genuinely wonder if he has such skill, he doesn’t have to be such a rogue.

「Because you’re a waste. And you can’t keep doing this forever. You’re gonna get caught someday.」

Even if you have been safe until now, if you continue to commit crimes, there will always be an end.

「That’s true. Well, I intend to get out of the business someday, but that is not for me to decide.」

「If you don’t decide for yourself, who decides for you?」

「That’s what my boss tells me!」

I held my tongue, unable to say anything more to Yance, who assured me once again with a charming smile.

「Then, I’ll bring you some milk porridge later, okay?」

Yance laughs as if to say, “This talk is finished.”

「…Ehh, then please do so.」

「Roger that.」

I will say no more. It would be none of my business, and if I were to stop him, he would have found a decent job a long time ago.

But still, I felt that this man, who acted so jovial, was not to be underestimated.

「Also, you should get some sleep, Miss. The area under your eyes is in bad shape. No matter how much cosmetics the Boss brought you, you can’t cover it up.」

Leave me alone. I know that best.

「…It’s not that I don’t like to sleep.」

If I could sleep, I would want to get as much sleep as I could. But how can I get a good night’s sleep in a situation where I don’t feel safe? I wanted to yell at them.

I have to protect myself and this sleeping girl here.

「Ahh— …By any chance, did anyone come last night?」

Yance said, scratching his cheek, but I didn’t answer. That’s the answer.

Yance mumbled something in a small voice,「It… seems… so…,」but I could only hear it faintly.

「But they couldn’t get in, could they? Only I and the Boss have the key to this place.」

「…You and Rio only?」

「That’s right. So you can sleep in peace. The locks here are strong and cannot be broken by a little bit, and they cannot be opened!」

I sigh at Yance, who gives me a thumbs up and a wink. It’s not solving anything.

「Are you stupid? What makes you think I can relax? You and Rio can come in.」

There is no guarantee that Rio and Yance will not be unscrupulous to us, and I have no trust in them to begin with.

「I’ll do something to Miss? That’s outrageous, the Boss will kill me!」

Yance rubs his arm.

「The Boss doesn’t want to do anything strange to you, either. He doesn’t like to force things, and he’s quite a romantic!」

That being said, there’s actually a hurt woman in front of me. There is no way I can be reassured.

「And I didn’t even touch your head or that girl.」

At my reproachful look, Yance gave me a look of disappointment.

「…So?」

「Hmm? Miss was misunderstood, so I’m making excuses for you. Please believe me!」

「Hah, no matter the misunderstanding, no matter if you actually had a hand in it, if the head of the organization condoned it, it’s the same thing.」

That’s what it means to be on top.

When I said this, Yance was speechless, and then immediately broke into a face.

「Hyah-hyah, as expected of Miss!」

I was about to say something back, but stopped mid-sentence. Partly because I felt that it was pointless to say anything anyway, but also because I didn’t understand the meaning of the response that came back to me. It’s not a laughing matter by any stretch of the imagination. Besides, I was mentally and physically exhausted after staying up all night for two nights in a row. I couldn’t bring myself to put in that much effort.

「We’re on our own now…」

Whether he heard me or not, he left the room humming a tune.

After that, Yance brought milk porridge as promised, and Rio, who came with him, brought an extravagantly luxurious dress.
