Unruly Behavior Of A Curse Lawless Woman

Theo can only sigh when he finally saw the bright grin on Claret face along with beautiful emerald eyes sparkling with mirth before suddenly turning around when the sound of tiny movement reach his ears, causing his attention to turn back to where the single person that he has left alive has been hiding the entire time.

"Come out."

With a curious expression, Claret turned to where Theo gaze is focused on, while planning to train her senses of people presence nearby, without the magic perception and Squishy reminder, Claret is vulnerable in looking out for people hiding, spying and basically stalking her.

Especially when her eye's special ability wasn't properly working because of the curse that she couldn't see the energies around her.

"Ah, Little Mariette, what are you doing here so late at night?"

Seeing the timid, shoulder hunch and a tense small body of the panda beast child a flash of emotion past Claret eyes, before swiftly showing a bright smile on her face, and taking a step closer, slightly gently waving at the tense Theo that wanted to stop her from getting close, after all, she wasn't naive and clueless enough to believe that the little beast child before her is harmless as she appears from the outside.

Although the beast's race appeared particularly weak in this world it doesn't change the fact that they can contain the capability of reaping a normal person's body with their claws, fang and even their own b.a.r.e hands because of their blood potential that it contains.

"Sister Claret… they… wanted to kill you."

"Hm… I can tell. It's a bit sad that I didn't see how My shining knight in armor Theo removing the people who wanted to harm my life, I'm sure he was a dashing young man dealing with them, it's just too bad I didn't get to see it in action."

"..."

With a wider smile and bright emerald shimmer with brilliant light, Claret saw in the corner of her eyes the way those adorable ears of Theo has suddenly turn pink from embarrassment before turning her attention back to straightly meeting the young girl guarded black eyes that tried to appear innocent, which Claret didn't allow herself to be fooled this time.

There is time to be soft, tender and kind because of her weakness in what she sees as adorable, except there is no way that Claret will let herself be played with, especially by someone so young, although the way those panda ears gently flickering in a sign of nervousness is especially look lovely.

"Child… come, tell me what you wanted. I'll listen." but I won't promise any.

"..."

Hearing no response, Claret just continues to show the usual warm smile, but when the young child remains quiet, she just nods her head and turning around.

"Go home, your parent is worried about you. Come Theo, let's go back."

With wide black eyes, Mariette watch in great disbelief that Sister Claret just left like that, shouldn't she asked what's wrong and then helping her deal with the current problem, especially regarding with that certain person?

While Theo that has been pulled by the young woman glances with deep amber eyes to the person beside him which were filled with great curiosity and interest flashing within it, before shooting the young child with indifferent gaze, after all, even he could tell what the child was naively trying to do.

The beast child is still too young, although mostly smart, courageous and a little cunning from the other race among her ages, but even Theo knew that Claret kindness isn't the type that was extremely foolish, naive and particularly selfless like the usual healer from the Church he met so far.

Those people acted with a bleeding heart, while there are those others that are particularly hypocritical and using those foolish people so painfully blatantly besides if Theo were to explain more about Claret, this young woman is eccentric and if he got it right from what he has seen so far, can be seen as a heretic among the rest of human population.

Although that is probably what made him particularly interested, tolerant and gentle to this person.

"Child… I can be kind but I'm not so kind to be used, lied and manipulated alright?"

"W-Wait! I'm sorry! Sister Claret! Please… I… Please… I just really need help to cure my father and mother… they are going to die if no one helps them!"

"See isn't that easy? You just need to speak about it clearly and we aren't going to waste the time needed to discuss how to deal with the current circ.u.mstance now right?

Smiling widely, Claret turned around before her bright emerald eyes curve up in a gentle arc and clapping her hands and leaning forward a bit.

"Then… my lovely child, how about you take me to the person that wanted to capture me? After all, you are here to lower my guard down just in case I can fight back with magic right?"

Deeply gazing at the bruise and battered form of the young girl before her, Claret can comprehend that in some way or another this child has probably gotten mix up with the person she has baiting the entire time, the poor child has probably had stumble over and heard about the person plan in an accident.

Although deep within her eyes, Claret's heart remains calm, there was never a single once a genuine pity and sympathy in her heart as she gazes upon the child before her, just a cold calculating opinion of everything happening.

Because in the end, this child has one way or another would have harmed her life, force or not, Claret couldn't treat the danger on her life so kindly.

"Claret!"

"No worries~ I was waiting for that person to appear you know? Besides, aren't you here Theo? You will protect me right?"

Turning around to face the gorgeous young man, Claret expression turned more genuine as she gazes with a soft and determined gaze at the person before her, although there are only a mere few days of staying together, where they didn't have even have any deep understanding with each other while having secrets but it doesn't change the fact that they have gotten along extremely well.

Claret isn't afraid of trusting this young man, isn't the dead bodies on the ground spread all around them enough proof that this person also cared in his own way about her well being?

And frankly, Claret doesn't dislike Theo and wanted to have a long friendship with him.

This young man doesn't really need to protect her, but he has done it in the end, so what is wrong with having longer acquaintance with this person that she has caught when falling down in the sky?

"I…of course Claret, I will do so."

Theo felt like he was speaking a vow as he deeply gazes at the young woman before him, and surprisingly, the words he has spoken were genuine and he didn't even have to think for a second to answer Claret's question.

He really likes this woman, never felt any repulse from her touch and never dislikes being acquaintance with her, it's rare to find a person that he can get along well, so Theo wouldn't mind protecting her, as long as she doesn't threaten his life that is.

"Thank you, Theo. If the time comes that you will need help, I'll also protect you."

Feeling extremely happy, Claret's beautiful features brighten up, especially when she saw the way the young man's beautiful amber eyes slightly widen from what she has spoken.

Hey, my beloved Mother… I got another person that might become important in my life, they are growing in number since the days I live in this new world, there is Mother Celine… Squishy… and now Theo…

"Come on then, let's start alright?"
