Chapter 55: Akuyaku Reijou ni Nanka Narimasen. Watashi wa『Futsuu』no Koushaku Reijou desu! Chapter 55

「Leonid-san knew Jend as well, did you not? You knew that I was looking for him. And, you hid him from us」

Leonid-san’s expression didn’t change, but Fox(?) Beastman-san’s did. So easy to understand~

「Why?」

「… What」

「Why did you hide him from us」

Leonid-san sighed.

「I will ask you. Can you swear that you won’t hurt Jend?」

「I have promised to protect that child. If he’s under my patronage, then I will protect him」

「Roger. The reason is: We thought that he got involved in some kind of a crime and you were trying to get rid of him」

「Ha?」

I let out a stupid voice at the reason that was beyond my expectations. The hell does he mean?

「The reasons Duke-sama would be searching for a Beastman child are few, either he’s getting rid of a lover’s child, or the child stole something. Moreover, you were tenaciously looking for him. It never occurred to me that you could be searching for your younger cousin, no one would expect that」

「Ha, haha… ah, were you obstructing the other party who was looking for him as well?」

「No, I have no idea about the other party. The other party… I think you are aware, but they are elusive. We wanted to save Jend and others from the disaster, but… we are unable to catch them」

「Fumu, but you did well hiding him for three years」

「The bonds of Beastmen run deep. We won’t sell out our friends. If called out, everyone will keep their mouths shut」

「I see. Then, is that Walse-san one of you?」

「That fellow is a fiend. Someone who would eat his own friends cannot be considered our friend」

「Then, as an apology of disturbing my search, could you help me out with a something?」

「That depends on what it is」

「All right. It’s nothing difficult, it won’t affect someone of your standing」

I don’t dislike careful people. A bad smile appeared on my complacent face.

In the end, Leonid-san agreed to my proposal. The Fox(?) Beastman-san was most likely a Coyotte Beastman-san. The name is Yodir. He also finds Walse-san’s behavior intolerable, and decided to participate as well. It will become busy from now on.
