Bab 165: Chapter 165 – Attacked by a Minotaur Girl

After letting Cecil finish her talk with the bearded sailor and sign a contract between them, she brought me to the corner of the tavern, at a rather private space with a bead curtain.

I brought my ale and the snacks given by the waitress with me and ordered another mug of ale for Cecil.

"You surprisingly know how to act around women, huh?"

The minotaur girl commented after the waitress from earlier brought ale for Cecil, and I offered kind words and extra gold for her.

"I am not that used to girls," I replied to Cecil while scratching my cheek.

"Lies." She spat out, frowning slightly. "But then, I don't mind. I took a liking to you, especially your fast decision without hearing the condition I have in mind. I don't know whether you're naïve or just desperate."

"Thanks, I guess?" I tilted my head slightly. "And I am desperate for protection for a strong person like you."
