"Once I agree to your terms, you'll definitely do this and that to me!"
Exactly.
Just like those Dark Elf customs that Svanni told me about, you'll surely swallow me whole!
And faced with the unconcealed suspicion in Eliza's eyes, Herbert merely smiled.
He blinked and asked curiously, like an inquisitive child, "What exactly do you mean by 'this and that'? Can you tell me in detail?"
"That definitely means... huh? You're trying to trick me again?"
Halfway through her sentence, Eliza warily closed her mouth and bared her blood-stained sharp canine teeth at Herbert.
What's the matter?
You damned fellow, how could you not know?
How could you possibly not know!
Do you think I've forgotten what you did to me!!?
"...Hehe."
Under her glare of indignation, Herbert shrugged and didn't press further on that topic, instead he asked, "Since you're so unwilling, can you tell me your reason for refusing?"
Reason?
