“――So, Isezaki-san. What did Maristel do to you? Depending on the content, I want to decide on her treatment.”
“Huh!? W-Well, you see…,” stuttered Isezaki-san, her eyes shifting nervously. At that moment, I held my breath.
Does this mean she endured something she doesn’t want to talk about…?
Upon further thought, Maristel often made sexually suggestive remarks. And when Isezaki-san intervened, she seemed quite exhausted. In other words—
“No, no! It’s not like that at all! I didn’t experience anything like what you’re thinking, sir!”
Was it evident on my face? Just imagining it filled me with regret and anger. Isezaki-san, seeming flustered, raised her voice. But rather than dissuading me, her behavior confirmed my suspicions—
“I’m telling you, it’s not like that! It’s all a misunderstanding, please believe me!”
Shaking my shoulders, Isezaki-san, who had fallen silent, seemed unusually desperate. Could it be that she was telling the truth?
“Well then, what exactly happened?”
“I was just forced to participate in a little entertainment! There was absolutely nothing like what you’re thinking! Please, believe me!”
“If you say so, I’ll believe you, of course. It’s really good that nothing irreversible happened… But then, why do you harbor such hostility towards Maristel?”
Isezaki-san, usually calm and gentle, was so intent on killing her. It wouldn’t make sense without a considerable grudge.
“W-Well, you see… Umm… That’s because, um… Well, you see…,” Isezaki-san mumbled, bowing her head. “It’s better than being misunderstood ,better than being misunderstood…,” she repeated several times, before finally raising her trembling shoulders.
“Ugh… Maybe it was because I was feeling helpless after being kidnapped. Now that I think about it, perhaps I overreacted a bit by resorting to death…!”
I see. Indeed, Isezaki-san was in danger when she was abducted. It must have been a frightening experience, and the relief of being saved and its aftermath might have made her lose control.
In fact, Isezaki-san’s face was still twitching. She must still be in a state of excitement.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm her heightened emotions, Isezaki-san continued.
“H-However, I still believe she should be punished for her actions… So, could you leave her treatment to me? I have a good idea.”
“If it’s not something as extreme as killing, then don’t kill her, okay?”
“Yes, leave it to me. I won’t kill her. I won’t kill her… hehehe.”
Isezaki-san uttered somewhat unsettling words… but well, as long as she doesn’t kill her, let’s respect Maristel’s wishes as the primary victim in this situation. We returned to Maristel.
◇◇◇
“Eek…!”
Seeing us return, Maristel screamed. Well, it seemed more like she was afraid of Isezaki-san than us.
“So, you’ve decided my fate, right? I-I’ll really turn over a new leaf and do anything! So please, forgive me…!”
“Mr. Matsunaga! I’ve heard from my big sister that you can’t trust what demons say!”
“T-T-T-That’s not true at all! I never thought about things like reclaiming the magic power once it’s restored or tasting that man before he escapes! So, please don’t say unnecessary things, brat!”
Despite Maristel’s desperate rebuttal to Colin’s words, she seemed even more suspicious. At that moment, Isezaki-san, who had fallen silent, spoke up.
“Colin-chan, I have a favor to ask… Could you… uh, hand that over to me?”
“Huh, this… do you mean this?”Â
Isezaki-san pointed to the necklace Colin was wearing—the bonus trinket I gave her.
It was a food toy of those trendy, cute characters, so I bought it with the intention of not being left behind by the trend, even though the action itself already made me feel like an old man, but let’s not dwell on that too deeply.
“I really don’t want to do something like taking away my husband’s gift, but I think it will be very effective. Please, Colin-chan. I’ll bring the same thing next time as an apology, and many more… okay?”
“Mmm, if that’s the case!”
Colin, who had shown a slightly reluctant attitude, easily gave in upon hearing about bringing many more items. She removed the necklace and handed it to Isezaki-san.
After thanking Colin and receiving the necklace, Isezaki-san stood in front of Maristel.
“Maristel. Stay still.”
“Huh, huh, wait, what are you doing…?”
Without responding to Maristel’s question, Isezaki-san silently wrapped the necklace around Maristel’s neck, then subtly extended her hand to me, signaling.
As I silently took her hand, Isezaki-san began speaking slowly, as if coaxing Maristel.
“Maristel… You said you’d do anything to survive, right?”
“Y-Yes, anything! So please just spare my life!”
“I see…,” Isezaki-san said with a faint smile.
At that moment, the food toy necklace around Maristel’s neck emitted a faint light.
