Chapter 119 Reunion with Dean

“All right, I’m finally done…”

Scratch, scratch…the pen in my hand moved quickly over paper, signing my name on documents .

My work today was finally done .

“Now that all those people who were loitering around at home are back at work, everything is much better . My workload has finally become manageable!”

Although it wasn’t quite decorous, I slumped on the table .

My head felt so heavy .

“You’ve worked hard, milady . ”

With a smile on her face, Tanya poured tea for me .

“Excuse me . ”

Appearing alongside a knock of the door was Dean .

“Dean!”

Caught off guard, I tried to comb through my hair with one hand .

He kept appearing so suddenly…!

“Long time no see, Miss . ”

“Ah, yes . It really has been a long time . ”

Since last time I encountered him and Letty?

When I learned that Letty was his sister, I was a bit panicky…perhaps if I thought a bit longer about it, I was shifting blame .

I didn’t have any right to limit him .

When there was no contract, even though we weren’t complete strangers…we were just normal acquaintances .

The times when I was busy, where I might happen to travel…all that stuff, I almost revealed to him .

Ah, I couldn’t keep thinking like that .

Thinking hard back to my rather cold reception of Letty, I almost wanted to burrow into a hole in the ground somewhere .

“I’m very sorry . While you were so busy, I wasn’t able to come here and help . ”

“That’s fine . You have a lot to do too . ”

As I said this, I gestured for him to sit .

Tanya was already preparing tea for him .

And then I started to talk about things that had happened in the territory .

Although some of it was just complaints, Dean’s expression showed no impatience . He just kept listening and occasionally nodded in affirmation .

“Then have you been out on the streets since you’ve been back?”

“Well…no . I’ve thought about going…”

But I’d never been able to make up my mind .

Even though everyone seemed to understand me…I think?

Every time I thought about it, I kept shrinking back from the prospect .

Mostly it was also the fact that so much work had piled up recently .

“So you want to go out after all?”

I nodded .

“Then I’ll also work as hard as I can . As for you, milady, as long as there’s any work left, you’ll use it as an excuse not to go onto the streets . ”

“Mmph…”

Even though he said it with a smile, it was exactly what I was thinking .

“All in all, when your work comes to a head, please do go out and talk a stroll on the streets . If you don’t, you’ll probably feel down as well . ”

“…that’s true . ”

If I kept running away from doing it, then it would only get harder to ever get up and go . The contradictory mood I’m in would only get worse, and I’d end up dragging it out forever .

“Since we’ve made a goal now, that means we have to go…Dean, will you help me?”

“Of course . ”

Dean answered with a smile .

In that case, it was time to do our best .
