After the scene fell silent for two seconds, Klein turned his head and asked sincerely, "Is this thing really useful to you?"
Alice hesitated slightly and said uncertainly, "I-I'll try signing it?"
She looked at Emlyn with innocent eyes.
"I trust your reputation." Emlyn's voice was exceptionally calm.
General, you sure know how to talk... Klein struggled to hold back his laughter in his heart.
This time, it was Alice who hesitated. She recalled how Cattleya had praised her for being approachable not long ago. After a moment of silence, she dryly squeezed out a single word:
"Thanks."
That settled the matter. Klein glanced at Alice, considered his words for a moment, and asked in the manner and tone of discussing an academic matter:
"What if Miss Cynthia wants to have intimate contact with me?"
As expected, Alice did not turn her attention to him because of that. Instead, she frowned and pondered his question, which made Klein let out a sigh of relief.
But Emlyn's words soon interrupted Klein's good mood:
"It doesn't matter.
"During the contract's effective period, when facing her, you will either have no desire or lack the necessary physical ability."
Alice began sizing Klein up with an enthusiastic gaze. Klein trembled uncontrollably, feeling as though he were not wearing any clothes at all.
But Alice did not say anything. Klein could only reread the contract carefully beneath her enthusiastic gaze before signing the name "Gehrman Sparrow."
Would using a false name work too... When she saw that name, the question naturally surfaced in her mind, but she swallowed it without asking.
I'm no longer a child who blurts out everything she thinks!
Alice thought proudly, trying to come up with a few arguments to support that claim.
Right, Klein's messenger-summoning ritual also used Gehrman Sparrow...
