Is it that time of the month?
"What do you think you are doing? Let him go right now." Misty angrily said.
"Hmph… he is not your property; I can hug him too." Rose retorted.
"You… hmph… what do you even know, he is my husband. And we have already had sex." Misty showed her superiority.
"Yo… You…. Why would you do that?" Rose looked at Hira with a heartbroken look.
"Umm… I…" Hira, who is usually very calm suddenly found himself lost, and it's not because he was affected by Rose' question of Misty's anger, instead
"Holy moly… two women are fighting for me?" is what was going on in his head.
He hurriedly calmed himself down.
"haha…" he laughed as he moved forward and pulled Misty towards himself.
"Annh…" Misty exaggerated her surprise but still hugged him tightly.
"Well, you know… how could I resist such a beautiful boss?" He said proudly.
"Wha… What?" Rose stuttered as Misty gave her a victorious smile.
"Hmph… I am more beautiful than her… If… If you have sex with me you will forget about her." She tried to win back.
"…"
Then she realized what she had just said.
"Uh… I… I don't mean…"
"Pat…"
"Hahaha… don't get too excited." Hira said as he patted her head.
Then he showed her a serious face as he continued.
"Go and get your brother here, or it might be too late for us." He said.
Rose also turned serious before nodding and walking away, not forgetting to give Misty a challenging glare. Misty who knew what that glare meant replied in the same manner.
…
"You also like her, don't you?" Misty asked after Rose left the room.
"Umhmm…" Hira answered truthfully.
Hira had only spent some time with Rose, but as he kept listening to her story… he started feeling attached to her somehow.
'System… are you behind this?' He doubted that his system was behind such unreasonable changes.
[…]
'Whatever… it's not like I don't like it.'
…
A few minutes later Rose came back to their office with Robert towing behind her.
"Hello boss, how are you. Rose here told me that you have something to discuss with me." Robert said as he entered the room.
"Oh yes… you see Robert, Rose told me that you plan to do human trafficking tomorrow or something."
…
Robert fell silent, he looked at Rose for a second before his eyes turned back at Hira who had one of his eyebrows raised.
"Uh… so Rose told you about didn't she. I am sorry boss. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but you don't have to worry, actually I can still arrange some good slaves for you if you want."
"No… brother." Rose suddenly felt a pang in her heart when she heard Robert's words.
"Sigh…" Hira sighed.
"No… I don't need slaves. But you see, I have some arrangements, so I would like it if you could cancel the trafficking." Hira said, although he can still inform the Baron, he thought asking Robert to abort trafficking was also a valid option.
…
"Umm… Boss… I am sorry. It's not that I don't want to help you with your arrangements. But I do not have enough strength or authority to stop the trafficking. There would be other superiors who would take care of it, even if I oppose them, they might just kill me and be done with it." Robert replied.
"Well… it was worth a try." Hira mumbled.
"Alright then, can you at least postpone it for some time." He asked Robert.
"… Yes, that can be done, but it can't be too long, the kidnapped people are taken to a hidden spot in the jungle, if we take too long, the Baron's soldiers might suspect and things might go wrong. So, two days is the most we can delay." Robert's answer was not very optimistic considering that he won't be able to meet the Baron at least until tomorrow.
"Alright, give me the location of your hideout and try to stall for as long as possible." Robert nodded and provided the location of the kidnappers' hideout before bowing down and leaving.
The entire time that Robert was inside the room, only two people talked, them being Robert and Hira.
Rose could not speak anything; she was already lost as soon as she heard her brothers first few sentences. After that the only thing running in her mind was guilt and regret.
"Kidnappers… trafficking…? Hira what's going on here? Are you doing something bad?" Misty on the other hand didn't know what to say. The talk between Robert and Hira was too frightening for her.
"It's nothing like what you are thinking. There are people who are trying to do human trafficking in the Baron's territory, I plan to inform the Baron before they are able to do so. Robert there is one of my men working under the guise of a trafficker. You don't have to worry about it; in fact, I only told you this because I thought you should know what I am doing. If these things hurt you too much, then you don't have to worry about them either. I will make sure to keep such matters as far away from you as possible." Hira said seriously.
"No… I… I want to know what you are doing, don't hide from me." Misty said.
"Hehe… sure my lovely wife." Hira laughed as he hugged her.
"Bo… Boss I would take my leave." Rose said meekly as she tried moving back.
…
Her brothers condition pained her, then she looked at Misty and Hira flirting, she felt like her heart could not take it anymore. She just wanted to leave and cry at some place.
"Wait…"
Hira called out at her.
"… Is there something you would like boss?" Rose asked her eyes looking at the floor.
Tap… tap…
Hira walked to her and held her face in his palms.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything bad happen to your brother." Hira said as he wiped the tears flowing out of Rose's eyes.
"Umm…" Rose replied as Misty walked to them and pushed Hira away before holding Rose's arm and berating Hira.
"Hmph… you get out… I want to talk to Rose"
…
"Wha… Why?" Hira asked innocently.
"Just get out dummy." She said as she moved her head away and started talking to Rose.
"Relax and sit down." She took Rose to the sofa and let her sit before moving her head to find Hira looking at her innocently.
"Why are you still here. Get out." She spoke.
"… Umm okay…" Hira said as he moved out of the room.
"Clack." The door closed behind him.
"What happened to her all of a sudden?" He thought.
"Is it that time of the month?"
