208 Reasons ???: Break up & Farewell (9)

Ivy thought she should say something, "Grandpapa, I -"

But before she could, Peterson came to give a lending hand.

"Come on, geezer. You think anyone can hurt her with me around?"

Peterson has been listening to their conversation ever since Tolius appeared.

"mm..." Omer looked at Peterson with irk from calling him geezer, "What do you mean?"

"Hm? What? Haven't you heard? I'm going with them." He smiled conceitedly, "I'll be the girl's bodyguard while they travel, so there is no need for you to worry about her safety because I'll be around."
