Don't Burn Them! Even Witches Have Value!

Discussing a trade agreement? Then it was obvious that the other party was sent by Ai’na.

However, there was one thing Lynn was very curious about—

”How did a Dragonborn and a fox become sisters!”

”Eh? Is it that strange? Can’t be helped, blood ties are just that magical.

If you don’t believe it, Lord Lynn, you could try it with me and see if we’ll have a human child and a fox child~”

‘No, I absolutely can’t handle this type.’

Lynn, sweating profusely, felt an unprecedented amount of pressure.

”This is the big order you were talking about?!

How did you get involved with this kind of pervert?”

Elysia stood beside Lynn with her hands on her hips, pointing at the posturing Daina and scolding her:

”Can you have some self-respect! This is someone else’s home!”

Daina’s squinted eyes showed a hint of sadness:

”So Lord Lynn prefers darker ones... wuwu, this is truly hard to compete with.”

”Can I burn her? I will!”

The frantic Elysia had even unintentionally revealed the fact that she was a witch.

”Oh my, please calm down, you black young lady. Let’s not continue joking around.

I come from the Cold Moon Tribe. Because my family and my cute little sister’s family formed a blood alliance a long time ago, we address each other as family.”

Daina Coldmoon, was that her full name?

Lynn rubbed his chin, warily staring at the smiling Daina.

This fox’s ability to control the rhythm was extremely strong; he absolutely could not be led by her.

At the same time, Iyanna, who had just finished preparing another batch of raw materials, finally noticed that the fire in the stable next to her had been extinguished at some unknown time.

She turned her head and then saw Elysia, covered in black powder, gritting her teeth and staring at one of her own compatriots.

Because Ai’na had been wearing a hooded robe during their entire meeting before, and had been sent to the servants’ quarters by Lynn when she visited later, for Iyanna, this was the first time she had seen her own kind since fleeing.

”Wu...”

In an instant, tears couldn’t stop flowing from her eyes.

Daina heard a strange noise and raised her head with slight confusion.

And then, she was suddenly pounced upon in the chest by a black-and-white figure.

”Wuaaaah...”

”Eh? This, this is?”

A helpless expression instantly appeared on Daina’s face.

”Have you seen Iyanna’s mom and dad? Are they okay?

Iyanna has been very good, running south all the way to get here.

The Boss is very good to Iyanna... There are lots of yummy things...

But I still... I still want to see Mom and Dad again...”

Looking at the crying doggy face emerging from her chest, Daina’s squinted eyes opened slightly—

Golden pupils, the characteristics of the Wolf Tribe...

The last of the Frostmoons?

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, then closed, and finally turned into a gentle smile:

”Yes, I’ve seen them, little Iyanna.

They drove away the bad guys, but they moved again, to a place deep in the snowfields.

That place is very hard to get to now, but when you’re a little older, you can go back and find them.”

Looking at the gentle Daina, Lynn and Elysia looked at each other in dismay.

Was this the same person?

That loving smile, that gentle voice, surely couldn’t come from a pervert whose car speed was off the charts, right?

Wait, hold on.

Suddenly, Lynn realized something.

And then, a brilliant smile formed on his face.

Elysia, who saw this scene, was stunned for a moment, and then she too quickly reacted.

She raised her eyebrows, revealing a look of utter disgust for scum.

——————————————————

【Favorability: -5 (Scumbag)】

——————————————————

Lynn spoke with righteous indignation:

”This is called making reasonable use of all available cards.”

”The excuse of a scumbag... wait, why do I always feel like you know what I’m thinking?”

”Because idiots are easy to understand.”

”Where am I an idiot!”

————————

”Lord Lynn~ What is this for?”

Daina sat in the pitch-black dining room, looking at the single light source of a candlestick on the dining table.

”Mhm, we must conserve resources. You know, continuously burning lamp oil will cause the whole world to warm up, which is very scary.”

”Oh my, then that would be a good thing for us.

And, I think the effect of this bit of lamp oil should be no match for Lord Lynn’s industry, right?”

She chuckled lightly, and then smoothly started her own topic:

”So then, Lord Lynn, let’s discuss some... deeper topics~”

As she spoke, she extended her slender fingers and gently caressed the back of Lynn’s hand.

”Mmm, what’s a deeper topic?”

Suddenly, Iyanna’s voice came from under the table.

”Guah!”

Daina let out a sound as if she had suffered a critical hit.

”Hehe, I don’t know. Why don’t you ask big sister Daina?”

Lynn’s smile looked so sinister under the candlelight.

Daina’s fine brows raised, her cheeks twitching uncontrollably:

”Iyanna, what are you doing here?”

”The Boss said he’ll give me meat to eat if I stay here!”

”Ugh... Lord Lynn, it’s better if a child doesn’t participate in our discussion.”

Looking at Daina, who had completely lost her composure, Lynn’s smile became even more despicable:

”Iyanna is the Security Captain. I don’t think there’s any problem with her being here.

Or is it that Miss Daina intends to discuss some topics that she cannot listen to?”

”Eh? What topic can’t I listen to?”

”Ugh! Despicable!”

”The feeling is mutual!”

Iyanna poked her little head out, looking at the two people on opposite sides of the table who, for some reason, were filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and tilted her head in confusion.

”Hehe, Lord Lynn, do you think you can defeat me just like this?”

In the dimness, Lynn vaguely saw that the other party seemed to have slightly opened her eyes, revealing a green reflection.

”Of course! Without your tricks! You can’t possibly beat me!”

He raised his neck, arrogantly taking out parchment, an inkwell, and a fountain pen.

”Come on!”

”Hah!”

Iyanna, completely clueless as to what was fueling the two, watched in confusion as both sides continuously wrote furiously.

One by one, pieces of parchment were continuously filled with text and then pushed under the candlestick, only to be quickly snatched by the person on the other side for annotation and revision.

”What a fine calculation! Are you trying to avoid specifying the quality of the ore used for the deducted currency?”

”Hehe, Lord Lynn, not strictly classifying the tax categories for Blackstone Fief’s goods makes it very easy to pass off shoddy goods as high-quality ones, don’t you think?”

Time passed quietly, and the breathing of the two gradually became heavy.

”Huff huff, what great stamina you have, despite being so old, Miss Daina.”

”Mhmm, Lord Lynn, I’ve only just begun.

Look, the sky is about to get dark.”

Lynn abruptly looked out the window, and then shockingly discovered that, sure enough, the sun had already set below the horizon.

‘Not good, could it be?’

When the last ray of sunlight sank below the ground, Daina let out a bell-like laugh:

”Hehehe, Lord Lynn, this is the advantage of my race.”

In an instant, a pair of green eyes shockingly opened.

”I can see clearly, you know. I wonder about you?”

‘Damn it!’

Lynn heavily pounded the table, letting out a low, unwilling growl.

Could it be, could it be that he had to admit defeat just like this?’

‘No, absolutely not!’

For the sake of greater profit, some food must be sacrificed!’

‘He who can sacrifice nothing can gain nothing!’

”Iyanna!”

He cried out, almost sobbing:

”Light all the candles and lamps!”
