Looking around the chaotic room and the researchers lying down crying for a moment, Shuria awkwardly scratched her cheek.
And finally, she opened her mouth.
“Well, the thing is…….”
(This is a time separator.)
“Dust rolling in the corners, hair. Cobwebs on the ceiling, a terrible smell.”
My finger swept the inside of the breeding room.
“Empty and dirty water bowls! Stale dog food! Cages full of feces and the puppies that had to be trapped inside for nearly two months!”
I pointed to the cages where the puppies were confined, then shook my fist in the air with an angry voice.
“So, what are you thinking after seeing all this?!”
The researchers lined up in front of me wore dumb expressions. They tilted their heads to the right and answered simultaneously.
“We want to leave……?”
“That’s not it!”
My chest was bursting, and I pounded it with my fist.
Below my neck, I felt as if I had swallowed 100 pieces of tough chicken breast in a row, suffocating, and above my neck, it was boiling hot.
“Think about it. Someone locks you in a narrow, smelly place for two months, doesn’t give you water or proper food. There’s not even a toilet! How would that feel?”
“I don’t know…….”
Sek looked for agreement from the other researchers.
“We already live similarly~. Locked in a filthy, narrow room all day, barely drinking water, barely eating.”
“That, that’s true…….”
Titi hesitantly nodded. The other two researchers, Kiri and From, were the same.
Seeing them like that made my neck stiffen.
I wanted to carefully take out the puppy from the small cage, and then bash the researchers’ heads with the empty steel cage.
But I couldn’t be branded a murderer by my favorite, could I?
I gathered all my patience to suppress my boiling anger and spoke slowly, biting each word.
“That’s, you guys decided to do it. You were too busy and bothered with research to do it! The puppies were forcibly confined and even neglected because of you!”
The researchers closed their mouths with a sulky expression. Kiri, who had briefly woken up when I yelled, closed his eyes again and shook his head.
I licked my lips to articulate the seriousness of this breeding facility even more powerfully.
But then, our very wise director opened his mouth with an annoyed voice.
“So what do you want to do about it?”
“……What did you say?”
“What qualifications do you have to hold us and lecture us? Are you our boss? Just because the lord gave you a little power, you’re getting arrogant. Tsk…….”
“…….”
“If you’ve found a problem, fix it yourself. That’s what you’re supposed to do. We’re busy people. Don’t bother us, let us think for ourselves. I’m not showing incompetence…….”
‘……Ahaha.’
I chuckled. Our head, he’s really starting to act snobbish.
He’s going to refuse even the requests for cooperation and throw tantrums like this.
The hot rage in my head cools down. I engaged my momentarily frozen brain.
‘These people aren’t normal. They won’t be swayed by reason or emotion.’
I have to make them realize that this situation could be detrimental to them.
Then make them cooperate with me voluntarily.
I let my hand, which was supporting my waist, hang down. Then I nodded as if I had accepted everything.
“You’re right. From now on, this is my job…… I’m not your boss. You all are very, very busy.”
“Hmm! Seems you understood.”
Prom was about to leave the room, flapping his lab coat. I spoke to his back.
“Since you’re so busy, I’ll send my work reports directly to the lord from now on. Let’s see…… first, I have to write about the condition when I first arrived, and request the necessary items for improvement.”
“……What?”
Prom, who had stopped in his place, exclaimed in shock. I asked with a feigned confused look.
“Why? Go ahead! I really apologize for disturbing you when you’re so busy. From now on, I’ll be careful not to bother the researchers, even by mistake.”
“Huh?”
“Of course, the lord told me to learn a lot from the researchers and make decisions after enough consultation, but you’re too busy to pay attention to monsters or the like.”
“Uh?”
“So, even if something goes wrong, I won’t bother you by asking for help, as the head said, I’ll do my best ‘on my own.’ This is ‘my job,’ right?”
“Hold on.”
“Don’t worry! I’ll ‘definitely’ report to the lord today that the head has given me a great realization!”
After finishing my words, I grinned. To sum it up, it was this:
The lord surely told you to help me and manage the monsters. But you’re busy and bothered, so I should do it myself?
Got it. I’ll do that. But if I try to do it ‘on my own’ and make a mistake, it’s all on you, and ultimately your responsibility, you know?
Don’t even think about pushing all the blame on me later. I will tell the lord everything you said, your attitude, without missing a thing.
Is that all? I’ll also report how you’ve managed the beasts until now. What will the lord say?
The smart researchers would have figured out what I was saying. Sure enough, Prom became furious.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
