"Are you really okay? Don't you feel any discomfort?"
Fremay still felt a bit uneasy, worried that Herbert might have some adverse reaction.
"I'm really fine, really, believe me!"
Herbert was somewhat helpless from being asked so many times and had no mood for jokes, so he surrendered directly.
"Miss Fremay, you've asked for the thirteenth time, truly nothing! If there was anything, I would definitely tell you."
Not to mention telling you, I would certainly seize the opportunity to take advantage and extort you!
So you let me have a good touch of your tail... Ah! Why didn't I think of that just now?
Missed out.
Really missed out big time!
But as things stand, he couldn't shamelessly use it as an excuse to claim benefits—why not?
Herbert kept a straight face and began to talk nonsense seriously: "No, I suddenly discovered I'm seriously injured and must touch your tail to heal."
That thing called face, really isn't worth much.
