The meeting that Pretoga scheduled in the store with Karon-san was a week later.

The people on the store side were me, Chicken, and Pretoga with Merida and her colleagues around.

As for why Chicken is here, my wife suggested that I should take her with me so I asked her to join the team to deal with the magic construct’s wife though I feel sorry for bothering her in her busy schedule.

She told me, “I think the conversation would go smoother if master wouldn’t join….”. However, it is something related to being a foster parent of a magic construct and not a normal animal so I must be there.

In the unlikely event, there were some circumstances that I had to say directly as the expert such as how to respond when they began to attack humans and that their lifespan is still unknown.

What I’m wondering about is why her uncle comes with Karon-san too.

Why would it be him, the employer, and not the parents, who would be living with Merida, who accompany her?

Could it be that they think we are talking about buying and selling Merida for money?

I couldn’t figure it out and while I was wondering, they finally arrived.

「Hello」

「Excuse us」

「Ah! Karon-san! This way desu, this way!」

A beautiful woman with black hair entered through the double door entrance of the animal café.

A strong looking man, with big drops of sweat on his forehead, came in after her. Why is he like that even though it’s winter?

I guess that guy is Karon-san’s uncle.

「Nice to meet you, my name is Karon.」

「I am Karon’s uncle, Afar.」

TN: Not a typo. Maybe Afant is the grandfather or ancestor.

「Please have a seat.」

In a case like this, the person who summoned them must greet them by the door but I’m a noble now.

Since I’m a noble, I should no longer behave that way even if I wanted to.

In fact, it is basically difficult to have a friendly relationship with nobles because commoners are too scared of dealing with them.

Separation is necessary to live peacefully.

This is inevitable.

「This one here is the owner of this store and Torquiva Magic Academy’s professor, Sawadi Slayra-sama. I am Sawadi Slayra-sama’s head slave, my name is Chicken.」

「I’m the manager of this store, Pretoga-desu!」

One of the waitresses of the animal café silently lays out coffee for everyone on the desk.

Merida, who had come in a hurry, jumped on the table, settled down in front of Karon-san, and meowed happily.

「So, we summoned you here today to talk about Merida-chan……」

Pretoga leaned forward while petting Merida’s chin in a very natural way.

「I’ll say it straight desu yo! Karon-san, do you want to live together with Merida-chan?」

「Eh? Together……?」

Pretoga suddenly threw bombs right off the bat, Karon-san’s eyes turned black in white in surprise.

It might have been better to tell Pretoga to be quiet and have Chicken talk.

Things will become complicated if she stirs things around.

「So…..ugh!」

Just as I was about to tell Pretoga something, there was someone who grabbed her silver tail and twisted it up.

The iron lady, lord of the nightless city, the one who can’t be beaten up…..

The woman who stands on top of all my slaves.

Yes, it’s Chicken-sama herself.

「Yes, that’s what we want to talk about, Karon-san. We would love to have you as Merida’s foster parent.」

A friendly smile is plastered on Chicken’s face as she speaks to the bewildered Karon-san in a gentle tone.

It resembled the face of the head butler of the Schenker family when he stands at a business meeting.

Chicken was taught by him so I guess this is the passed down business smile but for me, that face looked very reliable.

「………you mean me? I would love to desu! I want to live together with Merida-chan!」

Despite Karon-san’s excitement, her uncle’s face was austere.

「Please wait a minute, are you talking about this little one here? However, why should it be our Karon?」

He’s probably wondering if there’s a catch.
