Chapitre 42: Curiosity

"Lea! Does that mean you've done 'that' with him?!" Aluna asked hysterically.

"I—it was ... originally by accident ..." Kalea replied quietly.

"Huh? An accident? What do you mean?"

Kalea recounts the beginning of Arthur, who comes in heavily drunk and not fully conscious. Aluna couldn't speak, she immediately hugged Kalea tightly.

"Your trauma with alcohol must be getting worse, huh," Aluna said while gently stroking Kalea's back. She was the one who really knew the real condition of Kalea's family, how much her best friend hated the drink. Kalea's face became sad, she returned Aluna's hug. Enjoy the touch of a friend who is so caring.

"Does Arthur know? Did you tell him the reason for accepting the contract?" Aluna asked as she let go of the hug. Kale shook her head slowly.

"I just said I needed money. He wasn't too curious about what the money was used for," Kalea replied.
