“That so? What a shame. I really was looking forward to working with you. In that case, please hand over the kitten.”
Julian’s expression was still light-hearted. I looked at the kitten and it gave me adorable eyes, as if begging me not to let it go.
‘Mother, I don’t want to go with this idiot~ nya~’
It really was begging me.
“I suppose I shall be taking those two vampires you have in your possession as well. The lady will surely be thrilled to have Rori back in her keep.”
‘Is this guy… threatening me?’
He took another sip of his tea, but his calmness suggested danger. I could sense at any moment, he was ready to just jump up and kill me, yet here I was. I had to make some sort of decision before he did anything. If he took Ulva back, she’d just end up dead.
“C-Could you give me a d-”
“You have 5 minutes. No more, no less. Make your choice.”
He gave me an absurd time limit.
“Oi, oi. 5 minutes is too small for a decision this big!”
