[The deal between the mustard rabbit and the fennec fox is reached.] 】

Mustard leaves the fennec fox's trading hut. 】

[The mustard rabbit is on its way to the long-tailed civet cat's intermediary hut.] 】

…… Mediator? What type of intermediary? Ikawa Cheng didn't expect that Mustard didn't plan to go home after completing the transaction, but changed direction and continued to walk to the next destination.

Walking from the mustard rabbit's house to the next block, and waiting for the trade to set off again, the hot sun had risen high in the sky, and it was time for lunch.

In view of the fact that the mustard rabbit only ate one and a half sandwiches last time and supported himself to the point of discomfort, Ikawa Sumime roughly estimated the amount of food that the mustard rabbit currently eats, and then went to the mall to pick and choose, and bought a Meguma roll for it.

This is a long sushi roll wrapped in seaweed wrapped in rice, and it is filled with cucumbers, ham, shrimp, carrots, lettuce, mushrooms, and other ingredients.

The point is that it's bigger than a sandwich and smaller than two sandwiches, which is exactly what a mustard can eat.

On a whim, Ikawa Sumito dragged the Ejikata roll out of the warehouse, moved it to the top of the rabbit dumpling with a bad look, and let go of his hand-

Smack.

The soft Ejikata roll smashed precisely into the mustard rabbit's head, and the sudden accident seemed to make it stiffen in fright for a moment; But Mekata quickly rolled off the top of its head, and reflexively stretched out its claws to catch it, not sure what had fallen on its head, and its hesitation by half a beat made it finally fail to catch Mekata, and it looked like it was about to fall between the two front paws it was holding.

…… Well? Ikawa Cheng, who was always staring at the screen and expecting the reaction of the mustard rabbit, was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the Meguma roll, which looked like it was about to fall to the ground, actually appeared between the claws it was holding like anti-gravity in the blink of his eyes, and was slowly gnawing on the small bites.

Could it be that the bug of this game seems to be about to fall, but in fact, it is determined that it has not fallen? Ikawa Chung pinched his chin, puzzled.

No, he can't be wrong with the obvious stuttering feeling when the frame rate is not smooth; Could it be that the silky real-time calculation picture just now also has this kind of mistake?

But it's strange to use [Explore] to only see the hint "Mustard Rabbit is eating......

“……”

Ryunosuke Akutagawa seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He kept his hands outstretched to pick it up, and the end of his jacket stretched out like some kind of living thing, handing the Enigata roll in front of his eyes.

In the nick of time, he used [Rashomon's] ability to manipulate cloth to catch the food that leaked from between his hands.

If [it] is allowed to fall to the ground, it is not good to think that he refuses to eat...... Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who was very careful about this, opened the package and took the initiative to take a bite of the still warm rice, showing his obedience.

But.......

He lowered his gaze, remembering [the monster's] act of throwing lunch over his head.

[It] seemed to be taking pleasure in this painless prank.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa vaguely felt that perhaps, this existence that he regarded as a [monster] actually had part of his humanity...?

He thought as he walked, chewed the rice in his mouth slowly, swallowed it, and took another bite.

There was still a string of tails falling far behind him, some of them might be regretful that they hadn't been able to see the excitement just now, some of them were waiting for an opportunity to move, planning to pick up the leak, and some of them were eyeliner arranged by the gang.

All in all, among the countless people staring at the back of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, there could not be a kind gaze. Everyone has hidden thoughts, and they look at it, weigh it, and calculate it with cloudy eyes.

Whether six, fifteen, thirty, or even older or younger, the people who survive the slums can never include the stupid.

Due to the distance, they only saw a black strip hit the top of the imp's head from a distance, but the people facing his back couldn't see Akutagawa Ryunosuke's subsequent eating behavior - and the people who could see from the front that he had caught the food that appeared out of thin air and started eating as he walked were already staring at each other in disbelief.

What kind of supernatural abilities does he have?

Rather than being force-fed sushi rolls by [monsters] under countless intense gazes, Ryunosuke Akutagawa prefers to choose to take the initiative to eat the food that [it] has given to him first in the midst of those greedy and eager eyes.

This time, the Ekata rolls were much better than the sandwiches, and he hadn't even eaten many of the ingredients in them, and he didn't know much about them, but he was sure he liked them all.

This is the kind of fresh food that people in the world of light will pay for to eat?

Ryunosuke Akutagawa lowered his eyes and crumpled the plastic wrap in his hand.

I want Silver to eat this food all the time.

So, while [the monster] is still alive and at the moment, hurry up and save some currency that can be used outside.

Synonymous with chaos and darkness, the order built on violence can only be maintained by violence – and the resulting serious violations of the law, such as looting, seizure, kidnapping, and even killing, are nothing new in this relatively closed gray area.

The consequence of this simplistic and brutal stratification of "whoever has the biggest fist is justified" is that the leaders, senior members, and businessmen who cooperate with the gangs will gradually have an increasing demand for strong personnel.

Intermediaries came into being.

They can be commissioned by their employer to post the task content on the wall of the room - if anyone can self-assess that they can meet the employer's requirements, they can tear off the task list themselves, use this paper to confirm with the employer in person, and when the final task is completed, come to the agency house with a reply letter from the employer to complete the task.

In short, a very simple middleman process is that they take a part of the remuneration given by the employer as a referral fee, which can also be called a commission.

However, unlike the outside world, where the more you pay, the more commissions you get, the lower the mission level, the more commissions you get.

can successfully complete the high-level tasks in this kind of place, and the opponent's strength must be unmatched, and fools will use a high percentage to draw their success, and accidentally angering the other party is approaching.

And those who can take on high-level tasks will often be poached by a certain force for a lot of money after completing one or two tasks, and become one of the opponent's combat forces, and no longer need to live by taking on tasks - unless they refuse to be recruited.

Therefore, in the end, it is often the low-level tasks that are completed mostly, and the remuneration is pitiful; High-level tasks are rarely cared about, and they often last for many days.

Just today, it's a little unusual.

The intermediary watched as a thin, thin and thin child with lifeless black eyes came to the wall, and it seemed that he didn't even look closely at the task details, and directly tore up the highest-paid, second-highest, and third-highest papers.

？？？

"Hey...", he couldn't help but remind, "Don't take it randomly, do you read the content of the mission carefully and know who you are going to deal with?" ”

"......" The other man's footsteps paused, as if to indicate that he had heard his advice, but did not answer a word, and continued to leave unhurriedly.

"............" watched the intermediary who saw him leave, and felt that his breath was inexplicably blocked in his chest.

Stuffy.

"The little ghost now is really more ......arrogant than the other," he couldn't help muttering, sitting at the front desk, "Last time, too, that red-ochre-haired imp didn't believe it after taking on several tasks in one go, and I don't know if I'm alive,"

"It also caused me to post the task again......"
