 ｢W..what are you saying? That I am yours? ｣

 ｢Since I like you a lot I’m going to make you mine, and if I do that you won’t be lonely anymore. ｣

 ｢…｣

 ｢Let me apologize beforehand. I’m going to die before you without a doubt, but I want Ketekete to be with me till then. If you do that I will have fun my entire life.  ｣

  Ketekete’s large body shrunk to his former body size and he looked up at me and saw me smiling. He muttered as if he had given up, ｢Do as you like. ｣

 ｢It’s decided then. ｣

  I patted the white fox’s head as he was having a hard time being honest. 

 ｢Seems like you got what you wanted.  ｣

  Sansa grinned and poked me. 

 ｢You don’t have to put it like that. ｣

 ｢But then…..I don’t dislike that kinda thinking. ｣

  Sansa smiled gently which wasn’t something she would normally do. I hugged her reflexively. 

 ｢Wha!｣

 ｢Sansa, thank you for returning. ｣

  Sansa’s face turned redder and redder. 

 ｢I..it’s annoyed so don’t come closer. ｣

  Squish

 ｢Don’t squeeze someone else’s boob like you own it! ｣

  Sansa was slow at moving inside the cave towards the entrance. 

 ｢Ummm, what are you doing? You are so slow, Sansa. ｣

 ｢Shut up! This cave is like a labyrinth. We won’t be able to reach the exit if we don’t make notes. ｣

  In the end we left the treasure in the cave. It would take a lot of effort to take all that treasure. Sansa said that she’ll take care of it on her own. But that sword that can’t cut is with me. A sword with a mysterious power. It’s because of this that I was able to understand Ketekete’s feelings. For me this sword is an important trophy. 

  I’m not saying that it’s a worthy replacement but I put that metallic bat in its place since I felt like it. Ketekete, who has returned to his small form, is in my arms all tired. It seems like he can’t move due to being struck by those stakes. 

 ｢Nanana, Sansa. I’ll tell you my name, my name is…..｣

  Ketekete started talking in a serious tone and I rubbed his head. 

 ｢Nah, Ketekete is fine as Ketekete. ｣

 ｢I agree. You are Ketekete, Nanana’s pet. ｣

 ｢Pe… Br…brats stop being insolent. Even if I look like this Imma….. ｣

 ｢｢Imma?｣｣

 ｢Sh..shit. ｣

  Ketekete started panicking, it seemed like his true self came out. Well, I looked at his memories so I knew it all along. I knew that he was a really kind and a really lonely fox. 

  Sansa smiled mischievously at Ketekete. 

 ｢Welp, you are Ketekete for sure. ｣

 ｢Don’t call me Ketekete! ｣

  Our adventure ended here just like that. 

***

  Sansa wore suit and went to the Rou’s room in the casino alone the day after the treasure hunt. 

 ｢I was waiting for you, Sansa. ｣

  Rou was sitting on a sofa and Rou’s underlings were against the walls glaring at Sansa. Sansa moved forward and bowed down. 

 ｢Rou Daren, I have found the whereabouts of the treasure as you had asked. ｣

  Rou’s underlings started buzzing. 

 ｢A job well done, Sansa. ｣

 ｢Boss, what is this about?｣

  One of the goons who didn’t get what was being said asked Rou. 

 ｢It isn’t anything peculiar, I had hired Sansa to plunder the treasure from that fox. ｣

 ｢But, we haven’t heard anything about that. ｣

  Rou glared at him with a chilling gaze. 

 ｢And why do I need to tell you everything I do?｣

 ｢M…my deepest apologies. Was that bout from yesterday also a part of your plan all along?｣

 ｢Everything that happened was according to my plans. ｣

 ｢But why did you have to go through all that fuss?｣

 ｢Think about it yourself, why did I do it? And be suspicious of the traitors. ｣

  There was a gasp and they started looking at each other in a confused manner. Rou looked at the confused underlings and grinned. 

 ｢I would never forget a traitor, remember that. ｣

  All the goons went out of the room after Rou told them to get out and Sansa began laughing keeping her mouth shut. 

 ｢That was a wonderful act. ｣

 ｢Despite how I look now, I wanted to be an actor when I was young. ｣

  Rou took a memo out of his pocket and placed it on the table. It had the details about the little skit Sansa had written. 

 ｢So, Sansa. Since when did you know that Hao was my subordinate?｣

  Sansa smiled at his query. 

 ｢Since the beginning…..I want to say that but it was when I showed that memo to Hao and her startled reaction made me certain that she was working for you. I was doubtful about it till then since I didn’t have any reliable proof against her｣

 ｢But you say you had doubts why is that? What was the basis of your doubt? ｣

 ｢I came to this country on a ship for personal reasons and I wasn’t dressed that well either. So, it would be too much of a good coincidence that a guide who can speak Japanese would approach us at that time and that is all. ｣

 ｢And you hired her nevertheless. ｣

 ｢It’s because we weren’t doing anything illegal. And I took it as an approval from you. Even though we had smeared your reputation you let us get away with it. ｣

  Rou nodded. 

 ｢I see. ｣

 ｢Now then, let’s get to the real deal. According to this memo, it seems like you want to strike a deal with me, is that right?｣

  Rou stared at her and Sansa started speaking without being intimidated by his sharp glare. 

 ｢ That idiot and I acquired four suitcase filled with money along with the pirate’s treasure. But that’s all, we can’t change that treasure into money and neither can we take it back to Japan.｣

 ｢I see, so you want me to do that? ｣

  Sanda placed the cave’s map on the table. 

 ｢For starters, I would like you to take eighty percent of the treasure. And we can forget about our past with that.  ｣

 ｢you are being way too generous.  ｣

 ｢If I become greedy here, we might lose everything. Above all, I don’t want to leave behind any sort of a grudge. I want to have an everlasting good relationship with you.  ｣

  After listening to what Sansa had to say, Rou squinted his eyes. 

 ｢I see.  ｣

 ｢Is there any merit in me striking this deal with you? If I feel like it, I can take away everything you have.  ｣

 ｢I am well aware of that but if that happens, you would lose the right to be a part of the profit we will be generating in the near future. Will you be fine with that? ｣

 ｢What do you mean by the profit you’ll be generating in the near future? ｣

 ｢ We need to earn the big sum of ten billion. I want you to do the money laundering for that sum and also transport it safely to Japan.｣

What Rou had just heard from Sansa was something he hadn’t expected at all and it made him burst out into laughter. 

 ｢Ten billion, you say? That’s a lot of money there, will you really be able to make that much?  ｣

  The answer to that question according to Sansa is no but she knew it wasn’t just her in this so, she opened her mouth and spoke up…..

 ｢I am dead sure that it is possible for us to earn that sum.  ｣

  Rou started into Sansa’s strong eyes full of confidence and after taking a short pause, he grinned. 

 ｢It’s a deal, Kurosu Sansa. Let’s piece together a good relationship from now on.｣

 ｢For sure.｣

  Rou stood up and extended his hand towards the girl, Sansa. In return Sansa extended her hands and they both shook hands. 

  There were detours but Sansa successfully managed to create a connection between her and Rou. She was able to achieve her initial goal. And as a secondary perk she was able to secure a path that could assist Nanana’s objective. It’s that idiot, so she most likely hasn’t thought things through. Ah well, being with her is quite a drag. 

  When they were done with the handshake Rou turned into business mode and spoke up. 

 ｢It’s a bit sudden but Sansa I want to hire you for a job. That girl called Nanana, I have grown fond of her. I was thinking about making her mine.｣

  After hearing that mean request, Kurosu Sansa smiled cheerfully. 

 ｢My deepest apologies, Rou Daren. I’m not a woman that would betray her friend. ｣

  And thus Sansa was done taking care of the first mess her friend had made.
