That Person. Later on…-Chapter 38

The next day.

Fwuaaah.... what a nice and refreshing morning!! Come look at this!! We are blessed with such a beautiful sun-----

Or not!!

I woke up and jump out from the bed to open a window, only to find it was dull and cloudy weather. It’s going to rain. My tension went down at once.

Well, before I go to see Tata-san, lets wipe off my body first. I’d like to ask Regan about how’s thing ended yesterday as well.

I went to the guild masters room that I had visited so many times. We sat down face-to-face on the sofa as usual and I asked Regan about the details from yesterday.

According to Regan, Tata-san sold her body to clear off her father’s debt. Garret-san also knew the circumtances. In the shop, she would never know a person who is going to visit as expected. One day an unwanted guest came and desired her. His identity is clear, the lord. Although they strictly only choose customers that wouldn’t bring any harm later, but they couldn’t declined the lord because of his power of authority.

Later, the investigation led by Reagan and Garret-san found out a fact that the debt was actually a plan of the lord who tried to get Tata-san. There is also information about the lord doing things that can’t be put on the table from behind, was found out. When the lord attempted to dispose of the collection evidence, the incident happened . By the way the lord currently....

[I don’t get it. I don’t know whether he is alive or dead now] (Regan)

That’s it. It seems he was unconscious since that time as if died with his cracked body. I heard there is no sign of him waking up. Well, honestly I think it served him right.

I thought about bringing the conversation to and end so I could meet Tata-san soon. But before that happen, Regan told me that he has something say. The moment I could discern his words, I rushed out from this place in hurry.

[Well, because there is a possibility that the lord’s family will get revenge towards Tata and her family, Garret sent them to somewhere safe early in the morning. I didn’t know the destination either] (Regan)

He said.

When I arrived at Garret-san’s place, no one was there. Tata-san, Garret-san, Mr. Scary Face, guard staffs, everyone had gone.

..........Huh? what is this!?

How about.... the answer of my confession..........

I was standing dumbstruck for a while and then someone come out from the back of the mansion and walked towards me.

Tata-san!!

I thought so and confirmed that person, however it was the cat-eared woman that I occasionally saw.

[Hello]

[He-Hello.... umm....] (Wazu)

[Oh, you don’t have to remember me. I just came here on behalf Tata anee-sama to tell you that she is doing fine]

[Eh, Wha~....] (Wazu)

I don’t think she’s telling me this in a good will though, because I can feel she is mocking me somehow....

[Too bad. Tata anee-sama is not here anymore]

[Aa~, I heard it from Regan.... she left the city, was it?] (Wazu)

[Yeah, but I couldn’t tell you the destination]

[.......... So, what did Tata-san want to tell me?] (Wazu)

I had a bad feeling that I don’t want to hear it. But the person in front of me seems she want to say something no matter what, so I have no choice.

But I wonder if it’s better not to listen it....

[Huh? You still couldn’t understand it? You were DUMPED!!]

To be honest.... I thought it would be the case considering this situation and all. But I don’t want to admit it nevertheless....

[It’s really a pity but you should just give up about Tata anee-sama, I think you could understand that much]

I don’t want to hear.... perhaps this is just some kind of a bad dream....

[You were just used for our convenience because you are strong. Thanks to that Tata anee-sama is safe. But everything has ended because that damned lord is gone. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much]

I don’t need words of gratitude....

[And good bye, I will not see you anymore I guess.... she said]

While saying such a thing, she passed beside me with the look of ridicule like a triumph, and left me alone at this place. I kneel down on the spot as if lost all my power.

I see.... I was merely just used.... I see.... I see...........
