As soon as I left the brothel, a wave of exhaustion and guilt crashed over me.
Whenever I deactivate the "Psychopath" skill, I end up like this. Still, I already know how to fix it. For today, I just wanted to hurry back to the mansion and see Reina.
"Master, I've been waiting."
It was Mia, the catgirl, who greeted me at the brothel's gate.
"Mia? You came to pick me up?"
"Yes. Protecting Master is my duty."
Seeing Mia with her lingering innocence yet sharp, dignified atmosphere cleansed a little of the filth in my heart. If Reina was warm soup, Mia felt like a refreshing, cool drink—pure relief.
That said, I didn't want a girl who looked middle-school age standing near a brothel. I hurried back to the mansion with Mia in tow.
"Welcome home, Husband!"
