[Wait a minute, what did you just say?] 】

Liu Xianyu heard a bad news as soon as he got up early in the morning, and the source of the matter started when he just finished washing up and walked out of the room ten minutes ago.

————————

Liu Xianyu, who had just finished washing, was happily preparing to start the day, but when he opened the door, he found Anaqi standing alone at his door with a crystal ball-like thing, muttering something.

[Ah, you're awake...... This is for you, the president's grandfather wants to talk to you. 】

Liu Xianyu took the crystal ball handed to him by Anaqi, and put it in front of him, only to find that inside the crystal ball was actually the white-bearded president of the Wuwei Mutual Aid Association.

[Mr. President, do you have anything to ask me for?] 】

In view of the fact that the other party is the president of the Mutual Aid Association, Liu Xianyu is still more respectful when facing the old man.

[Hyunwoo's children...... Well, I have something I want to discuss with you about Anaki's child. 】

Liu Xianyu looked at the president's appearance and thought that he was going to remind himself to send Anaki back earlier, so he said:

[Rest assured, thanks to Anaki, the matter on our side has been successfully completed, and I will send her back to the union.] 】

The leader on the other side of the crystal ball showed a slightly hesitant expression.

[Ahem, it's good that the kid can help you......]

[Actually, it's like this, you also know that the child's personality is a little strange, and it's rare that she can help you, so I wonder if you can ask you to continue to take that child for a while.] 】

[This...... I'm afraid not, but you know we're just a small team of four, and there are no more places left for her to join. 】

Liu Xianyu looked a little pity on the surface, but in fact, he sighed softly in his heart, there were already enough problem children in their team, and it would be even more troublesome to add an Anaqi.

[It's okay, just let that kid follow you, you don't have to let her join the adventure party.] 】

Whitebeard looks empathetic.

[No, no, no, it's too wronged to do this, so I'll send her back to White Crown City as soon as possible. 】

[It's okay to send it back to White Crown City, but if you return it before the probationary period expires, you will have to pay the liquidated damages on our contract with the Mutual Aid Society of Wuwei Mages.] 】

The old man's eyes suddenly flashed with a smug light.

[Wait a minute...... When did we sign that kind of contract? And what's the deal with liquidated damages? 】

Liu Xianyu suddenly had another bad premonition, especially when he heard the word liquidated damages.

[Didn't you read the employment agreement written on the receptionist's desk?] 】

President Whitebeard's vision turned, and he suddenly came to the hall where Liu Xianyu and the others met the man who was always lying on the table.

The receptionist who had been lying on the table had already sat up, and there was a row of small characters written in special colors on the table where he was originally lying on his stomach, and as the crystal ball approached, the row of small characters clearly appeared in front of Liu Xianyu's eyes.

Wu Wei Mage Mutual Aid Association Employment Agreement:

1. The Guild's mages shall be employed for a minimum of three months, which may be extended as appropriate

2. Once the employment is not reached, the employee who contacts the employee without permission shall pay a fee of 10 as compensation for breach of contract

3. This Agreement shall come into force when both parties step out of the Wuwei Mutual Aid Society

[How can you see this kind of thing!] That guy was lying on the table from beginning to end, how could we possibly see these things! It's a fraud, right? Definitely a fraud! 】

Needless to say, Liu Xianyu knew that he was calculated, but those mages deliberately ignored him at the beginning, even if he didn't do anything, he would still find a way to sell Anaki to himself in the end.

[Anyway, the agreement is clearly written, and even your fingerprints have been obtained through that bead, if you want to break the contract, we can't do anything.] 】

The chairman on the opposite side was playing with a transparent bead in his hand, and Liu Xianyu remembered that it was something that the receptionist gave him as a certificate to open the door, but he didn't expect that the bead still had this effect.

[Damn! I actually did this kind of thing in advance......]

[How about it, Hsien Woo kid now, are you willing to take Anaki to continue your adventure life for a while? ] 】

President Whitebeard looked at Liu Xianyu with a smug expression.

[There's no way around it now, but I can tell you in advance, I don't care if that guy encounters any accidents during the mission. 】

Liu Xianyu has no choice but to accept your fate.

[Hehe, please rest assured, although the kid has some flaws in his personality, he will definitely be your help in the face of battle, so it's decided, I'll hang up first.] 】

President Whitebeard, who unilaterally cut off the call, disappeared on the crystal ball, while Liu Xianyu held the crystal ball and fell into deep thought.

[That's it, from today onwards, Anaki will follow us until the end of the three-month contract period.] 】

At breakfast, Liu Xianyu told Anaki about joining the team temporarily, but the three girls didn't react much, Jade has not found Anaqi's personality problem so far, as for Tangerine, everything has nothing to do with her, although Ikatriis is a little distressed about Anaqi's character, but she doesn't seem to care about this kind of thing.

After breakfast, Jade leaned back in her chair and said:

[The tasks here have been completed, and we have earned a lot of silver coins, so why don't we go to a hot spring tonight and go back.] 】

[Go back, where to go back?] 】

Liu Xianyu asked curiously.

[Of course, I'm back in Chushan City, you shouldn't forget that I also rented a small room over there for a long time, and this time we can go back and change to a bigger room if we earn enough money!] 】

Jade looked full of energy.

[If you don't say it, I forgot, it turns out that the city is called Hatsuyama City.] 】

Liu Xianyu has always referred to the city as a novice village in his mind.

[Then it was decided!] 】

Jade took care of herself and made a decision for Liu Xianyu.

[I heard that Qingquan Pavilion seems to have been closed, and suddenly the building is empty, and I am afraid that you will not be able to go. 】

The waiter next to him, who was about to clean up the table, heard Jadeite's words and said to Jadeite.

[What...... That Qingquan Pavilion was obviously so popular and closed overnight? 】

Jade said in disbelief.

[It's not overnight, since the collapse incident a few days ago, the owner of the Kiyosen Pavilion has disappeared, because the hot spring was originally a hot business here, so the Kiyosen Pavilion was sold the next day, and now it is being renovated. 】

After breakfast, the unbelieving Jade also went to take a look and found that sure enough, in the renovation, the group had no choice but to leave Black Mo City in the evening, and specially rented a car that could be pulled by the Wild Beast, Liu Xianyu and his party left Black Mo City in the car pulled by the three Wild Beasts.
