Offer and division of bills

"I want the same thing that boss is having!"

Lithsar declared immediately, without moving her infatuated gaze from Viria's back.

"No problem... umm... and the third order...?"

The prisoner breathed out and nodded before furrowing his brows and pointed at the third yellow bill.

"An advanced tip. I would appreciate the food being brought to us."

"Oh...! But of course!"

Viria waved his hand indifferently, causing the other prisoner's eyes to light up as he straightened his back and cheered out suddenly motivated.

"Hmm...? Boss is good with handling people~!"

As they seated, Lithsar hummed in ave glancing back over to the excited prisoner securely hiding the thrid bill within his clothes.

"Don't make me laugh. If I was acting even a little bit timid, everyone else would just try to sponge off of me until I would be bled dry."

Viria scoffed at her, shaking his head at the woman's empty flattery.

"Isn't that the only way to keep the jailors out of your business though?"

"They are in the position of power anyway, I was talking about the other prisoners."

Lithsar tilted her head acting clueless and innocent despite knowing all the answers anyway just to appear more appealing, but it had no effect on the indifferent Viria.

"Boss, boss...! Is it okay for me to know why you brought me here?"

Lithsar lowered herself and placed her chin on the table, giving up the sexy approach and testing out whether Viria can be tempted by cuteness.

"I am interested in buying better housing. Live with me."

The young man declared in a flat voice and a cold glare while the prisoner in charge of the restaurant placed the jugs with juice in front of him and the gold-haired woman.

"Thank you, boss. I will move my stuff immediately after you will buy the place~! Now. Am I allowed to hear the actual request or does that comes after I move in?"

Lithsar's face lighted up and she nodded, sipping on the juice in the overly adorable way, knowing full well what she was doing and reveling in the feeling it gave her.

"...strong sexual desire is such a menace... Just so you know, I react to it subconsciously – if you touch me while in this state... You will get hit. Maybe not beaten up to death because I start to find you amusing, but still. I advise you to be careful. My body usually moves faster than I can think."

"You think this clumsy airhead girl is amsuing~!?"

Viria breathed out in a tired voice and rubbed his eyes before straight up threatening the gold-haired young woman... who literally stood up from excitement and gaped with sparkling eyes as if nothing dangerous had been said to her.

"Sit down."

"...!"

*plap*

Viria scoffed coldly and Lithsar sat so fast that her bottom made a rather curious sound hitting the bench, suggesting a certainly inappropriate level of dampness in her nether regions considering the situation that she was in...

"Just so you wouldn't start flooding the place with your juices – I do not imply that I own you. What I offer is a simple cohabitation that will make my hunting and cultivation here easier."

The young man's face tensing up betrayed his annoyance over the young woman's reaction, and he spoke up to restrain her wild imagination before she would become a public menace because of it running wild.

"...!"

Lithsar clenched her legs together immediately and cowered up looking properly embarrassed for once and not in the kinky sense either.

"Preferably, I want a place big enough to have those kids over too. Whatever they are living now isn't secure at all. The belongings that I left in their care were easily stolen despite them doing their best to hide them. I'm fairly certain that having you over would make them feel more at ease too, as at least Kirri seems to be looking up to you... isn't that right?"

"...!"

Viria leaned back into the bench and looked over Lithsar's shoulder, speaking to the three kids that showed up and heard just the last part of the exchange the two of them had.

"...y-yes..."

"Eh? No, I don't mind at all!"

Laor gulped down her saliva and nodded but Kirri's eyes became round and she looked at her friend with flabbergasted disbelief before she declared walking over to Viria and declared.

"Kirri...!"

"!!!"

Tir grabbed her from behind and pulled her away just in time before the resolute girl attempted to grab Viria's arm.

The young girls were too busy speaking to each other in hushed voices so they didn't notice the look that Viria had on his face for a split second before that – an expression that once noticed by Lithsar, caused even someone like her to break into cold sweats.

"Whew.... as I said, I don't want to force anyone to follow my instructions, but I simply think of it to be the most efficient way. After all..."

Viria breathed out and then took a few deep breaths to compose himself before starting to talk again.

As he did, he stopped for a moment and pulled out the whole stack of differently colored bills and separated them into five stacks – of which the smallest ones consisted of only yellow bills, and the largest one was only a single black bill higher than the other three.

"Since we are cooperating, I want to divide the bills equally as I originally intended."

The young man pointed out while pushing the three equal stacks toward the speechless girls while taking the largest one to himself and sliding the one with only the yellow bills towards Lithsar.

"You surely have doubts about my character still, but my hunting skills on this floor should be already apparent. It should be obvious, but just in case – even if you refuse, I will NOT try to take the bills I gave you back. You earned them rightfully"

He assured, although even that didn't get him a response from the trio.

The kids spent good parts of their lives in the prison dungeon already and were aware of the real value of the colorful bills they held in their hands. Because of the wealth that got its way into their possession, they had an extremely hard time focusing without letting their imagination run wild.

"First of all, I want to know if you are okay with moving in with me. Second of all, I want to learn from your overseer to know whether you can move in with me. And if both of those will be affirmative, then I would like you to accompany me while checking out whatever property is available."

Viria slapped the table with his own stack of bills, finally getting the attention of the rest.

He didn't forget to check on Lithsar's reaction either.

After all, it seemed like she was getting treated the worst - receiving only the yellow bills and not a single green or blue one.

But if he was expecting her to show signs of discontent, then he got seriously disappointed - Lithsar gracefully swiped the small stack and carefully hid it within her uniform.

If anything, the gold-haired woman was smiling and even humming.

Initially, he was surprised by such a reaction, but Lithsar didn't want to leave him hanging for an answer either.

"Ehehe~! A present from Boss...!"

The gold-haired girl giggled adorably and glanced cutely at Viria to see what his reaction would be.

He...

Was smiling at her!
