The Adventures of Clara

The Naughty Princess

The room where Clara was interrogated wasn't big. Although called the interrogation room, this place actually has good air circulation and lighting. For the furniture itself there is only a table and a pair of chairs. Maybe the real interrogation room is full so they put the bad girl Clara in this place.

The little girl was currently staring at the city landscape from the window with a blank look. The tea he had been holding had long since cooled down. His mind was full of events that had not happened long ago. He had no idea how his luck could be this bad.

Clara had been looking for information of merchants who would go to the outer area during her time in this city but the results were nil. At the end of the day he found one. But it turns out that what he finds is a smuggler who causes his plan to fail miserably.

If only he had been more patient ....

If only he had level-headed and more matured his plans ....

When Clara was busy introspecting Mayor Darton entered with a rather unexpected person.

"It looks like your plan failed, yes, Dik Clara."

Clara flinched, waking up from her daydream. He turned around and saw the person he had only known not long ago, Pedro.

"Ya~. I think it failed."

Clara wasn't too surprised that Pedro was here. He had seen several adventurers before. It seems like the city side is cooperating with the Adventurers Alliance.

It's just ... Is this just his feeling or is the frequency of his meeting with Pedro too high?

They first met at the library. Then Clara saw him at the archery competition. They meet again when Clara is drunk ....

So this is called destiny.

"Then Pedro, I leave the rest to you" said old man Darton. After that he immediately left with quick steps.

Looks like Pedro who already knows Clara was told to take care of the good girl—troubles—ini.

"Truly a busy day, ya~. Ah, Brother Pedro, want some tea?" Clara who acted like the owner of the room offered tea.

"Can."

Pedro sat on the opposite seat while Clara warmed up the already cold tea.

"Please."

"Thank you."

Suddenly the mood became awkward.

On one side of the desperate Clara who does not know what to talk about and on the other side Pedro is thinking hard whether it is necessary to lecture Clara or not.

After a moment of silence Clara finally started the conversation.

"So, ya~, how are you, brother."

"good. I'm helping keep here for the extra money" Pedro replied.

"But this is weird ya~ the north gate is still open. If you don't want the villain to run away, shouldn't Denia be in isolation?" ask Clara, doubt it.

Suddenly Pedro looked at Clara intensely. The little girl's body trembled as the danger signal rang loudly.

Clara who realized her mistake hurriedly added, "That's yeah~ was just Clara's guess. That loh, that, having listened to Mayor Clara's speech thought something strange. But ya~, seeing the reaction of Brother Pedro it seems Clara's guess may be right.”

Curiosity killed the cat.

Previously Clara had warned herself but still keceplosan. In addition, the high-specification brain has captured other information that should not be known.

Pedro knows something.

He said he was here to make some extra money. But the fact that he knew this secret meant his earlier statement was likely a lie. Unless it's an open secret. But given the reaction after, it doesn't seem like it.

In short, Pedro was somehow involved in government affairs and had a decent rank.

That is, this Pedro is handsome, strong, has an established job as well. A dream man.

Wait, Clara, what a weird thought.

Focus. Focus.

Pedro finally returned to being relaxed as before. He then drank tea while organizing his thoughts.

"Not bad" praised Pedro. "It's a secret, so don't be spread out, okay?"

"Yes!" Clara nodded strongly.

"dither. He said it was secret but how was it spread, anyway? Brother Lial used to be the same, too" thought Clara.

But since he was already curious half to death so let it be.

"What do you know about Hymne Blackjack."

"Hm ... Hymne Blackjack, yes~ ... Is that person a researcher who got the highest award of the empire a decade ago?"

"I'm surprised you know that. Thas right. The man rebelled and ran away with the results of the empire's latest experiments" Pedro explained.

"A weapon?"

"Yes. It's dangerous."

Suddenly a flash of thought crossed Clara.

"Could be! The monster of the night ...."

"Yes. A tool to summon and control the monsters of the dream world."

Just deserve.

"According to the info I got the tool is still in the last phase and not perfect" said Pedro. "Blackjack is also famous for having great undercover skills. Have you seen anyone suspicious lately?"

"Nothing ... Uh! Is correct. Lately there are suspicious men who always follow Clara," said Clara loud enough for people to hear in front of the entrance.

"Who do you call a suspicious man, you bad boy!"

The suspicious man, Rhino, entered the room with a demon-like face.

Errata. His face was usually like the devil.

Clara hurriedly hid under the table. Rhino who saw this immediately tried to drag the perpetrator out of the hiding place.

"Oi! Naughty girls. Stop rebelling."

"Hey! Nah! Help u! I-I'm sorry Clara, dad! No. gabe. Stop that!"

"I'm not married, oi!"

After a fierce struggle, Clara finally managed to pull out.

"Silent. Don't fight."

"Please ... Do it gently" said Clara, resigned.

"Either why something feels wrong here" Rhino murmured.

With Clara's cluttered clothes and the dialogue going on, ten out of ten people who don't know the circumstances will misunderstand. Pedro who had just watched from the side sighed inwardly as he watched Rhino who was disciplining Clara.

The sound of a slap echoed in the room for almost a full minute.

"Huuuu, Clara will not be able to remarry. Indeed yes~ basic heartless man," complained Clara as she rubbed her painful butt.

"Who tried."

Disgruntled Clara puffed her cheeks and took her eyes off Rhino. That actually prompted Rhino to pinch his cheek with anxiety.

"Sw-switch!"

"Oi, bad girl, you better have a proper explanation this time."

Seeing Clara who was still reluctant made Rhino sigh.

"So how?" ask Pedro.

"How's what?"

"continuance. Clara, have you given up ... It doesn't look."

"Um! Clara's gonna work hard."

"What is hard work!" snapped Rhino while again pinching Clara's cheek.

"Haa. Son, listen. No need to rush. I was just on an adventure five years ago" Pedro said.

Hearing that Clara's head immediately drooped. His spirit immediately degenerated. Even her eyes started to glaze over.

"Sorry," muttered Clara very quietly.

"Yes-yah. You just need to grow a little more, then nothing will stand in your way" Rhino cheered, trying to brighten up the suddenly gloomy atmosphere.

"yeah. However, Clara will still try" said Clara firmly, then drank tea.

"uh? The cry was a lie ...?"

"You know, you remind me of my sweet little sister." Pedro got up and approached Clara. "So, Clara, I don't know why but, because you're so persistent." Closer, Clara and Pedro looked at each other, "I have a proposal for you."

Clara blushed in shame. The pale color on his face has been replaced by the red color of tomatoes. His eyes wandered everywhere.

Shamefully Clara said, "Clara, Clara ya~ is still small and has a developing body. B-but Clara will work hard!"

"I'm not a lolicon" Pedro said. "Let's stop the joke there. My proposal will definitely interest you. Listen carefully ...."

“Lying! This brother is a liar!” clara in the Heart. “These are like little sisters. So your goal from now on is this.”

But indeed this proposal was too tempting to reject. So tempting even without realizing he had accepted it.

After he was released it was already evening. Rhino walked like an undead. Even when her young miss started running around somewhere she just watched with a weak look. Little by little he began to develop trauma towards young children.

A few moments later the little lady returned. Her two tiny hands were full of vanilla and chocolate flavored ice cream.

After pondering for a moment Clara handed the vanilla flavored ice cream to Rhino. He actually prefers the taste of chocolate.

Seeing this Rhino reached into his wallet to see the amount of money he still had.

"How much?"

"Clara ya~ bought it with Clara's own money!" snapped Clara, offended. "Why the Rhino can't be like Kak Pedro, '" he grumbled again.

“Then stop making trouble.”

“If you feel bothered ya~ just stop and go-”

“Clara!”

The girl was shocked by the unexpected clash of Rhino. But no matter how long he waited there was no follow-up from Rhino.

With this hanging feeling they returned to the inn where the other interrogations were waiting for this rogue princess.
