Chapter 9: Flirting Behind Bars ( 9 )
I leaned against the bars of my cell, sighing dramatically. "Ugh! Is this really an isekai? What a rip-off! No cheat powers, no status windows... Lame!"
I shook my head but perked up as Shania passed by. "Oh, beautiful Shania! You made my morning shine brighter than the sun!"
She stopped mid-step and turned to look at me, one eyebrow raised in suspicion. "Huh? How do you know my name?"
I grinned and gestured toward the hallway. "Oh, I asked Borrock over there. He's very helpful!"
Just as her eyes narrowed dangerously, I noticed Borrock lurking near the doorway. The moment Shania's gaze shifted toward him, he stiffened.
"Borrock!" Shania's voice was sharp and commanding.
"Ahh—uh—I just remembered something urgent in the kitchen!" Borrock stammered, spinning on his heels and bolting out of sight.
I couldn't help but chuckle. "There goes the big guy! Runs faster than those patrol horses when you're mad, beautiful!"
Shania sighed heavily, rubbing her temples. "I don't know who's more exhausting, you or him."
"Definitely him," I teased with a wink. "I'm harmless, after all. Just an innocent, incredibly charming guy trying to survive in this harsh world."
She rolled her eyes but said nothing, walking away with a shake of her head. "Get used to the cell. You might be here for a while, 'charming guy.'"
