I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 95 - Reconciliation

"Welcome back, Shino." I smile at the slightly uncertain girl, understanding where that hesitation comes from.

She blushes a little but nods. "I'm back, Sensei."

"We are still having breakfast if you would like to join."

"It's alright, Sensei. We already ate back at the castle. Thank you for the offer."

"Well then. What do I owe the pleasure of this unexpected visit? Do you perhaps need anything from me?" I glance over all of them again.

They step to the sides a bit and Kamil walks to the front. He starts rubbing the back of his neck while still awkwardly avoiding making eye contact with me, looking somewhere to the side not that far from my face.

"You see... I've been thinking recently... And I guess you might still be angry about that duel... I went a bit too far at that time... It wasn't really my intention... Well, it kind of was but it all happened at the moment and—"

A sudden slap on the back of his head interrupts him and Kamil peeks over his shoulder. I catch Marcia giving him a quite beckoning look. He turns to me again and coughs awkwardly. His eyes finally meet mine.

"The thing is, I clearly overreacted and almost fucked up a big time. I think this is slowly getting out of hand so I just wanted to say that... It was quite bad of me... And well... I guess the other stuff too..."

I raise a brow at him. Something I didn't really expect anytime soon has just possibly happened. I'm not sure what exactly led to this, but I can tell that a certain redhead had some influence over the whole matter.

"I might have gone a little overboard after that happened too so I guess we are even. But, let's not talk about such topics in the doorway. Come inside."

Everyone walks into the lobby after I hold the door for them. Shino smiles at me sweetly while she passes me as the last one and I sneak a quick brush through her black hair when nobody is looking.

We notice Cornelia standing in the middle of the hall with her arms crossed and a curious gaze. I turn to my petite samurai lady.

"Can you lead them to the new meeting room? I'll join you in a moment."

"Of course, Sensei. Don't worry about us and finish what you've been doing. We'll wait for you."

She then nods and asks the others to follow her, heading for the stairs. They soon disappear on the top floor with Kamil gawking around as they make it through the lobby and the recreational area. It is his first time here so that's nothing unexpected. He most likely couldn't believe what he had been told.

I walk closer to my charming magician and wrap my arm around her waist.

"So, he's finally here," she says, reciprocating my actions with the same.

"Seems like it."

"I was almost sure he would only get more angsty and annoyed after getting thrown around like a wet rag."

"Even the best psychologists can't perfectly predict how a big loss like this may affect people. But, I don't think he has arrived at whatever conclusion he came up with alone. This might be interesting. And possibly get rid of some of my worries."

Cornelia moves to my front and joins our lips in a soft and gentle kiss.

"Let me gather the girls."

I furrow my brows at her for a brief moment and then raise them in mild surprise.

"Cornelia, we are not doing that. That's completely unnecessary. There's no need to make this whole thing even more awkwa—"
