Chapter 117 - Consensus
Tylene followed Joshua to the tavern’s second floor. She had prepared herself to activate her escape bracelet at any moment.
If the situation turns dangerous or if an ambush was waiting for her upstairs, she will immediately activate the runes on her bracelet to teleport her to her room in Madam Schroder’s mansion.
But, upon reaching the second floor, she discovered that her worries were unnecessary. The second floor was extremely unadorned, completely different from her expectation.
There weren’t any magic formations with vicious energies. There weren’t any containers filled with different kinds of ominous objects. The only thing present on the second floor was an ordinary room.
Joshua pushed open the door to his office. In the office was a bed used for resting. For the time being, Joshua placed the sleeping Ciri on the bed.
“Since you’re here, you must be prepared to sign a contract with me, right?”
Joshua turned around to look at the elf by the door. She appeared somewhat reserved. Her long ears trembled slightly like a rabbit’s ears. It seemed like she would escape the instant she sensed any strange movements.
“May I… have a look at details of the contract?”
Joshua was disinclined to bother explaining things now. Since Ciri had woken up, he couldn’t possibly have this Frost Elf who seemed to have some sort of strange illness sleep on the ground.
“Are we to take off her clothes after?” Ciri pulled up her sleeves. She seemed to be planning to do the job herself.
“No! We’re lawful business people, okay? We’re not going to do something that shady… eh… at least not now.”
Joshua suddenly recalled that he had kidnapped Ciri before. But, he had already washed his hands in a gold basin.[1]
