As he thought about it, Anser suddenly realized that this problem seemed a little serious.
It's not that it's unfair to them. After all, from now on, Anser will definitely spend more time with them to make up for his previous mistakes. The important thing is that Master Anser realized that he seemed to have no experience in this kind of thing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that in pure love without any evil intentions, he seems to have always been the one being conquered.
Looking at the conch and shells in his hands, Ansel fell into deep thought.
What should I do... better?
At this moment, a distant shout came from behind him:
"Anser~Mr.!"
At first glance, the cry sounded like a relief, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a bit of uncontrollable grief and anger in the respectful address to Anser.
Anser turned his head and saw the adventurer lady running towards him with her hat pressed down. The messy golden hair sticking out from under the brim of her soft hat trembled with her steps.
"Hello, Miss Ze Rui." Anser smiled at her, "It seems that Lina's matter has been successfully concluded."
"It went smoothly...of course it went smoothly."
Ze Rui ran to Anser's side and looked down at him with a fake smile: "I was acting completely in my true colors, how could that fair-skinned girl tell?"
Anser looked up, a little surprised: "Isn't that great? But Miss Ze Rui looks... not too happy."
"Because it's not over yet! They want me to keep working!"
The golden-haired girl screamed in frustration. She stamped her feet, making loud clattering noises in the incoming tide. "We clearly agreed that this scene would be enough! She went back on her word! She said that the church's affairs would not end so easily, and that she still needed my help."
"You and I--"
Ze Rui, who was so angry that she couldn't speak, stuttered for a long time, and finally sat down next to Ansel in despair, letting the tide wet her trousers.
"Linna is a very disciplined person."
Anser looked at Ze Rui who had lost all hope in life and said comfortingly: "She wouldn't deliberately deceive you."
"Yes, she did warn me before she lied to me, but I didn't know it in time."
Ze Rui, with dead eyes, handed Anser a communication magic crystal, but the point was not this, but the... note stuck on the back of the magic crystal?
[If possible, please agree to my and Su Silun's request, Miss Ze Rui. This will be of great benefit to you, Miss Ze Rui. I can guarantee your safety. If you cannot make a decision, please use this communication magic crystal to contact Mr. Anser.]
Ansher glanced at the contents of the note and already understood the situation.
"So, you just came to me directly." Anser raised the communication magic crystal at him.
"What else?" Ze Rui replied weakly, "After finding this note, you immediately turned back to find your woman and quarreled with her on the spot? Your payment for the goods has not been settled yet, Mr. Anser, I can't die so early."
"Lina said she would guarantee your safety, so she will definitely guarantee your safety."
Anser flicked his finger to destroy the note and said gently, "Similarly, the 'benefits' she promised must be beyond your imagination, Miss Ze Rui... Even so, are you unwilling to discuss it with Lina?"
"That's not the question! Do you think I care about not being able to get out of their hair-pulling war?"
Ze Rui raised her voice and stared at Anser. The anger in her sky-blue eyes was so real, and it was definitely not her usual vulgar and irrelevant complaints.
"I dared to sneak onto the fleet by pretending to be a death row prisoner, so what else should I be afraid of? At most, I just think it's troublesome, but if the reward is right, I can consider even the most troublesome thing."
"Lina will not treat badly—"
"I said it's not about this!" Ze Rui stood up and kicked the tide that receded and surged in again. "If she had told me before that this matter was not over yet and there were other things for me to do later, I would not have refused, but she didn't tell me."
The adventurer paused and said, "Of course I know my situation. I don't have the ability or confidence to resist you or her. If she wants to force me to order me and manipulate me, then I will accept it. Who made me so unlucky? But she pretended to want to do business with me properly, but in the end she still lied to me... Is this interesting? Is it necessary?"
Marina deceived her with a cooperative attitude and said that they would stop there, but she continued to use her by force and made unrealistic promises with such an arrogant attitude.
"She can't make choices for me." Ze Rui said word by word, "If she does, then I will fight her to the end."
Anser laughed dumbly: "That's quite dangerous, Miss Ze Rui."
"Humph, I can just run away. Being against her doesn't mean I have to fight her to the death. It would be better if I just don't help her with her work."
Miss Ze Rui snorted softly, her tone quite firm.
If Marina was fully intending to control Ze Rui by force, then Ze Rui would have tried every means to escape, instead of just complaining in her heart like she did just now, but still cooperating in reality.
"I see."
Ansher also quickly realized this and recognized the source of Ze Rui's anger.
"Ms. Zerui, you are not angry that Lina has dragged you into her personal affairs again. You are just angry that...she has violated your freedom, especially when she seemed to have respected your freedom."
Marina's sense of oppression cannot be ignored, but at the same time, she did give Ze Rui room to choose. The adventurer lady was willing to wade into muddy waters not entirely because she had no choice - although she always muttered that she had no choice, she actually wanted to take a big gamble, so she agreed reluctantly.
Otherwise, Ze Rui would not have the energy to complain, as her mind would have been filled with thoughts about how to escape.
But in the second collaboration that followed, Ze Rui did not get such freedom.
It's not about respect, but freedom. Ze Rui doesn't care whether Marina respects her or not, she only cares whether she has the freedom to choose.
"Of course. I'm an adventurer."
The girl crossed her arms and looked at the boundless sky. It seemed that Anser's words touched her, so her tone softened and took on a bit of pride:
"For an adventurer, what is more important than freedom?"
Chapter 31: Miss Ze Rui, the part-time queen!
"Lina probably needed to confirm something before deciding anything about you, so she didn't tell you in advance."
Anser held the shell towards the sun, half-closed his eyes and sketched the shape of the gift in his mind. At the same time, he continued to explain to Marina: "You can actually express your dissatisfaction to her, and she will apologize."
Because there is no way to be sure whether Su Silun will believe Ze Rui's words... Be cautious, but too conservative. You can't defeat Him by taking one step at a time, Lina.
"Farewell, I don't have the guts to complain." Ze Rui curled her lips, "If you don't even have this little bit of self-awareness, I would have died in some corner a long time ago."
"But you expressed your dissatisfaction to me."
Anser glanced at Ze Rui, who had sat next to him again, and asked with interest, "Do you think this is appropriate?"
The golden-haired girl stretched and said, "What's inappropriate?"
After that simple emotional outburst just now, Ze Rui, who had calmed down a lot, yawned: "I can tell at a glance that you are the most serious big shot, Mr. Anser. A big shot who makes a big deal about a small shot is not a big shot."
"Is this another way of saying I'm good at talking to you?"
"Yes, yes, very easy to talk to." Ze Rui held her chin with both hands, with dead fish eyes, "So easy to talk to that there is a sense of distance between us."
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Anser: "At least no matter how easy a person is to talk to, he won't chase after a strange woman and feed her slop just because he's in a good mood."
Anser couldn't help laughing: "Didn't I apologize already?"
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you apologize afterwards!"
Ze Rui shouted loudly, looking very righteous.
But she immediately changed her tone and said to Anser with a smile: "Of course, if you are willing to give me some substantial compensation, that's another matter. Mr. Anser has done a great job in this regard. He is one of the best men!"
The girl praised Anser so sincerely, her eyes full of hope and desire to settle the payment for the goods.
Although her boss's boss...or her boss's man repeatedly assured her that she would be safe, as an adventurer, Ze Rui never took rewards without cost. In order to ensure her safety, she had to get the payment from Anser as soon as possible.
"I'm still preparing it. I won't be able to give it to you so soon." Anser turned his attention back to the shell. "It will probably take a day. If you're in a hurry, Miss Ze Rui, I can rush it."
——Ansor was not lying. Hydra’s family did not have ordinary standard units of ether magic crystals, and as for imperial gold coins...that was even more impossible to have.
After Flamel fell into a deep sleep, the prodigal Master Ansir linked Hydra's property with the empire's monetary reserves. Every once in a while, Ansir would invest most of his personal wealth into the empire's public spending.
Since he wants to take control of the entire empire, for Anser, the money flowing within the empire is the real money, and the currency stored in Hydra Mansion is just a pile of processed impure gold.
And now, Ze Rui happened to encounter a period of personal property vacuum in Anther. If she wanted the golden imperial coins, she had to wait for Anther's subordinates to exchange them with the junk that the Hydra servants dug out from the warehouse.
In Ze Rui's opinion, this is a very normal thing. After all, who would carry so many gold coins when going out? Without negotiating the price in advance, it is already very efficient to get it done in one day.
"I knew I wouldn't make a mistake!"
Miss Ze Rui looked at Ansher with great sincerity, her sky-blue eyes sparkling.
"If all customers were as easy to talk to as you, Mr. Anser, I would retire in two years!"
"Retirement? Adventurers can retire too?"
"That's the opposite." Ze Rui waved her hand, "It's only after I retire that I can truly start my great adventure!"
"Hmm..." Anser asked casually while carving the poem he found from memory on the inside of the shell, "Miss Ze Rui is so obsessed with money. Is this all to prepare for adventure?"
"Of course! Otherwise why would I risk my life like this, to get paid to do good things?"
"That's hard to say. I'm confident in my ability to judge people... Miss Ze Rui, aren't you a good person?"
He blew away the debris on the shell, then pointed at the sun and began to think about the design of the shape. But before that, he took the time to look at Ze Rui and said with a smile:
"Your words to A-Luo were very passionate and forceful, weren't they?"
"Hey, I'm just kidding. I'm an adventurer, not an emperor. Whether people's lives are good or bad is not my concern. I have to deal with your daughter."
Mentioning Ming Fuluo, Ze Rui's face showed a bit of complaint again: "Mr. Anser, you have to discipline your daughter. It's okay that she is young and has a bad temper. Even though I have been in the Church for many years, I know that it is very serious to discuss political affairs without authorization. Even if you are a big shot, you can accidentally - Buyue."
Ze Rui, who cares very much about her customers, made a throat-slitting gesture, then rolled her eyes and her pink tongue hung crookedly at the corner of her mouth.
"She expressed her views from the perspective of the regent. Does that count as making irresponsible comments on political affairs?"
"Tsk." The adventurer snorted disdainfully, her nose turned up, "What does a little kid know? This regent was able to kill the emperor, so he must be a very ruthless person! If she makes random guesses about his actions based on her admiration for the regent without any basis, it will only make this ruthless person angry!"
She spoke very logically, as if she had experienced all kinds of ups and downs.
"That makes sense." Anser nodded in approval. "I'll express your point of view to A'Luo later."
"Hey - that's not what I meant! Mr. Anser, if you want to teach her a lesson, just use your father's name. What does it have to do with a passing adventurer like me?"
The cold smiling face that seemed to always despise her IQ emerged in her mind, and Ze Rui shuddered involuntarily. Although she felt that there was not much chance of meeting that dangerous child again in the future, since she would most likely continue to work in the empire, the possibility of seeing him again... was not necessarily zero, so it was better to leave herself some way out.
Don't we need to be vigilant about children? Children are the most troublesome! Even though her big sponsor is so kind and gentle now, what if that bad-tempered little girl starts to put on trouble with her?
Today, Ze Rui also admires her own prudence and composure.
Hmm...but the most effective way is probably to improve the favorability of the sponsor.
——Otherwise, why would I sit here like a fool? Just to create some positive impression!
Her sponsor, Mr. Anser, is a man full of bad taste, and people with bad taste are often interested in people who are out of tune, so Ze Rui can let go and show her out of tune side.
But do you really have to sit where the tide will flood you? My butt is all sticky and it feels so uncomfortable.
The trousers had been completely soaked, and a lot of moisture had seeped into the boots. The adventurer could only bend her waist, folding her soft body into a graceful and seductive curve, reaching out to untie the short boots on her feet, taking off the wet white cotton socks whose toes could be vaguely seen, and immersing her fair and rosy feet in the coming and going tide.
"call……"
Although her butt was still sticky, her feet at least felt more comfortable. Ze Rui bent her legs, hugged her calves with both hands, rested her cheek on her knees, and looked at Anser with her head tilted.
Because he was the one who had always brought up the topic and Anther had only responded intermittently, the adventurer girl, who had just let herself go, finally started to pay attention to the movements of Anther's hands.
"I say, Mr. Anser."
"Hmm?" Ansher was concentrating and didn't even look at her.
Ze Rui's eyes twitched twice: "You are not...making some kind of gift or something."
Master Anser's fingertips, which he was using as a carving tool, paused.
Of course, he heard Ze Rui's tone of "What are you doing?", so he was a little confused: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Ze Rui tilted her head and looked at the pile of shells and conchs in Anser's arms. She conservatively estimated that there were no less than fifteen of them. After a brief silence, she tentatively asked, "These gifts... can't be one for each person, right?"
"Of course not." Anser, who thought he had found the reason why Ze Rui was so shocked, laughed dumbly, "I just wanted to pick out a more suitable one."
"Oh, that's fine... No!"
Ze Rui's eyes widened, and she wanted to jump up and grab the collar of this golden retriever, and question loudly -
You have time to squat on the beach like a little virgin and do some gifts, but you don't have time to stop your harem from fighting? They are so crazy that they want to drag the church into it. Can you handle it?
Although I really want to give him a good scolding, I still have to consider the face of the financial sponsor before the payment for the goods is settled.
Therefore, Ms. Ze Rui could only kindly and tactfully suggest: "Rather than giving gifts or something... wouldn't it be better to take some direct and practical action right now?"
"You mean a date?"
Ansel looked at Ze Rui with some surprise. He didn't expect that she would suddenly give him advice in this regard.
"Dating, of course, has been on my mind for a long time, but they both have their own things to do now, so it's not the right time."
Xin was busy monitoring the Flame Sisters, Ming Furo was doing too much research to count, and Marina was working 24 hours a day. Only Shitana was a little free... But in this situation, she would feel guilty for running away, and Anser also felt that it was a bit unfair to the other girls.
Of course, this sentence has a different meaning to Ze Rui.
It's not that it's unfair to them. After all, from now on, Anser will definitely spend more time with them to make up for his previous mistakes. The important thing is that Master Anser realized that he seemed to have no experience in this kind of thing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that in pure love without any evil intentions, he seems to have always been the one being conquered.
