Jingle!
Jingle!
The Fox Spirit maidens, who had come at the summons, vigilantly looked around.
They were on high alert, one attacking and one defending, as if searching for something.
But after surveying the area, they found no danger... Finally... the Fox Spirits finally realized they had been pranked... They simultaneously turned around and looked at Miko with displeased expressions... "Ugh...! [Expletive]"
"Uh-wuh...! [Expletive]"
They gnashed their teeth, letting out angry whimpers.
"President, save me..."
Miko pitifully turned her head to look at Lu Ren, who was sitting on the bench, drinking coffee, and looking utterly content.
"You summoned them; you deal with it."
Lu Ren rolled his eyes at her, showing no intention of intervening.
"Wuwu... Wuwu..."
Miko cried aggrievedly, turning her head back again.
But... in the blink of an eye...
The two Fox Spirit maidens had already arrived in front of Miko!
One Fox Spirit maiden directly reached into Miko's pocket!
After fumbling for a while... she directly pulled out Miko's wallet... The zipper opened... That Fox Spirit maiden completely emptied the money from the wallet!
She casually tossed the empty wallet directly into Miko's arms.
"Wuwu...! [Expletive]"
"Ow...! [Reprimand]"
The two Fox Spirit maidens reprimanded her, one after another.
Miko, like a misbehaving elementary school student, lowered her head and remained silent.
"Contract... signed..."
"You give... remuneration..."
"We... help you..."
The two Fox Spirit maidens spoke with difficulty in a language Miko could understand.
After their words fell... another Fox Spirit snatched the coffee from Miko's hand!
Then, she and her companion disappeared from Miko's sight.
Plop!
Miko once again collapsed onto the ground... "Wuwu..."
"It's all gone, all gone..."
"Even the coffee Ren-kun gave me was stolen..."
Miko sobbed aggrievedly; now she had nothing left but her bell!
Fortunately... Young Master Lu was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see a young girl suffer.
He raised his palm and stroked Miko's head.
"In my hometown, there's a saying: 'Spending money to avert disaster.'"
"You lost your money, but at least you saved your life, didn't you?"
"Besides, the contract has been signed."
"From today onwards, you won't have to fear evil spirits anymore."
"Drive them well; they won't harm you."
Lu Ren comforted Miko.
He then grabbed her arm and pulled her up from the ground.
"That's right..."
"Ren-kun, thank you!"
"You saved me again; I'm truly grateful!"
Miko wiped away her tears, turned around, and bowed deeply to Lu Ren.
"Alright, that's enough gratitude."
"Tell me..."
"What trouble has the client you found encountered?"
Lu Ren casually crossed his legs, asking about the most important matter at hand.
He needed money!
He really needed it!
Even a mosquito's leg is meat, let alone two million?
..."The situation is like this..."
"The person seeking help is named Komi Shouko."
"She's a female student in my class."
"By the way, we attend an all-girls school, and Komi-san is even the school beauty!"
"But just a few days ago, Komi-san saw a doll in a trash heap."
"It seems because their eyes met, she became entangled with the doll."
"Then, from that day onwards..."
"Various strange things started happening in her home."
"First, a gas leak, then a power outage."
"The kitchen faucet would suddenly turn on at night."
"And the TV in the living room would often turn on by itself."
Miko scratched her head, recounting what she knew.
Then... she took out her phone, quickly swiping the screen.
She showed Lu Ren a video... In the footage... a dirty doll was wandering around the living room.
She paced back and forth in the living room, trying to pick up a fruit knife.
But due to limited strength, she eventually gave up.
She kept her mouth open, constantly muttering something.
It was just a pity the recording quality was too poor to hear clearly... "This is footage from the living room surveillance last night."
"That doll that was thrown in the trash broke into her house!"
"All these bizarre incidents are the doll's secret doing!"
Miko explained, trembling as she spoke.
What was the scariest thing?
It was knowing there was a ghost in the house but not knowing where it was hiding!
It could be anywhere, secretly watching everything!
..."I think I understand..."
"The other party means to find the doll and get rid of her, right?"
Lu Ren's lips curved upwards as he asked Miko.
"That's right."
"This doll has caused great panic to Komi-san's family."
"So when I mentioned my ability to handle it..."
"Komi-san's mother was willing to offer two million."
By the end... even Miko herself seemed a little embarrassed.
Lu Ren rose from his seat and patted Miko's head.
"Money lost can be earned again, but life is only one."
"The safety of family cannot be measured by money."
"The Komi family understands this very well."
"They will only thank you, don't worry about these things."
"Let's go..."
"There are other things today; let's deal with them as soon as possible."
Lu Ren said with a faint smile.
Suddenly... he seemed to remember something... After taking out his phone again, he found the contact named [Goto Hitori]...
[Lu Ren: Goto-san, I'd like to introduce you to a friend.]
[Lu Ren: Her situation is actually not much different from yours.]
[Lu Ren: Who knows, you might become dearest friends for life.]
