Leading the Young Lady I Picked Up Astray, Making Her the Happiest Girl in the World!

Charlotte gasped.

It's a reaction that's almost an affirmation already.

Allen sighed as he spoke to Miaha. He was going to do whatever he could to bribe her at this point but he really did not want to brainwash anyone he knew, so he tried to be as gentle as possible...

"... Miaha. There is a reason for this."

"It's all right, Demon King."

However, Miaha smiled gently and knocked on her chest.

"The first priority of our transportation company is to serve our customers. We don't care who your maid is or where she comes from."

"... Thank you."

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Miaha deliberately tilted her head.

With that, Charlotte too bowed her head.

"Th-thank you very much."

"It's fine. After all, the kingdom of Neils is out of our territory."

"... What would you have done if it was within your territory?"

"Hmm... I'm not sure. What do you think?"

Miaha dodged the question with a laugh.

Allen was relieved that her company had not expanded out of the country, and then... he remembered something.

"Hey, Miaha," he said. "Your company... is also in the ecommerce business, isn't it?"

"Yes, sir. We mainly sell daily necessities, but we can stock anything you want and put it on our website. We also charge a reasonable commission. Here is our brochure."

"Well, as long as it is reliable..." 

He flipped through the pamphlet he received from Miaha.

Food and daily necessities, as well as clothing, were on display there.

"This is great. Charlotte, look!"

"W-what?"

Allen handed the pamphlet to a flustered Charlotte and nonchalantly said, "I think I bought most of your daily necessities yesterday, but I don't really know what a woman needs. Make a list of what you want from here. I'll order it for you."

"Oh, yes. I got it."

Charlotte nodded and flipped through the pamphlet with interest.

Her eyes were shining and she seemed excited. She had probably never been able to shop properly before.

She held the pamphlet carefully as though it was precious and smiled modestly.

"Well then, please do me a favor. Please deduct it from my salary later."

"Don't worry about it," he said, "it's a necessary expense, so I'll pay for it."

"What? You can't do that... You treated me to cakes yesterday already..."

Holding the pamphlet in her hands, Charlotte raised her eyebrows in a distressed manner.

But Allen would not budge.

"It's fine to buy something you like. If I see even just a little bit of hesitation, I'll buy everything in that brochure. So pick properly."

"Why are you always so extreme!?" Charlotte raised her voice with a blanched face.

From yesterday's cake incident, she could tell that Allen might actually do as he said. And that hunch of hers was correct.

Miaha laughed at such an exchange.

"It must be hard on the maid. If you don't like the way the Demon King is acting, you have to sternly speak up."

"No, no, I'm in his debt, and I can't ...... say such a thing to him."

"If it was me, I wouldn't hesitate to do a knockout punch in the face of such an arrogant attitude."

As she said that, Miaha started punching her fists into the air.

Her punches were rather good with an exemplary posture.

"Listen, stress should be punched at the source of the stress!"

"That's quite a thing to say to a customer... Hey. Wait a minute."

Then, he suddenly thought of something.

Allen thought about it for a moment and then hit ...... his hand.

"That's it!"

"What?"

"Huh?"

The next mischief to do was for Charlotte to decide.
