Ah?!
When Lulucy heard that she had been sentenced to life imprisonment, she subconsciously thought she was finished.
But when she heard again that she would have to stay in the Dimensional City for the rest of her life, she realized the situation.
And this statement...
She had to admit that she was slightly mistaken... right?
He should be punishing me severely, right?
Lulucy was also a little undecided. What on earth did Takumi mean?
"Well, then, to prevent you from escaping, we will sign this contract first."
Takumi tried his best to suppress a smile and spoke with a serious expression. He then initiated a contract with Lulucy.
Lulucy looked at the contents of the contract.
The entire document could be summarized in one sentence: Takumi cannot be betrayed. That was all.
It inevitably made her think deeper.
Is that what he actually meant? Yes! It had to be!
Lulucy's pretty face turned red instantly, and she was stunned for a moment.
The surprise came 263 so suddenly that the overwhelming happiness almost knocked her out.
Seeing Lulucy's delay in responding, Takumi couldn't help but frown and asked, "What? You don't want to accept the punishment?"
"No! I do!"
Lulucy reacted, agreed quickly, and signed the contract.
Then she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Takumi, and said in a weak voice: "Then, please look after me for the rest of my life."
After saying that, she lowered her head and played with her fingers with a silly smile.
"???"
Takumi was confused by this.
Did she realize it? No, that can't be right. Why would she agree if she had?
Someone who hadn't noticed that Lulucy was already interested in him remained puzzled.
Unable to think of a reason, Takumi simply gave up on it and responded with a smile: "Well, please give me some advice."
Regardless, he would just accept it.
Then, Takumi was not so anxious to develop the next step of the relationship.
Instead, he took Lulucy to meet the other girls first.
Although they were a little speechless at the speed with which Takumi recruited people.
Everyone unanimously welcomed Lulucy into the big family.
It was Kanae whose reaction was a little subtle after learning that Lulucy's race was a vampire.
But after the explanation was clear, she no longer cared about it.
After that, it was fitness time after dinner.
The girls also wisely did not disturb Takumi's instruction in boxing practice for the newcomer.
As a result, Lulucy was beaten badly.
Moreover, when she took the initiative to transform into her younger form, hoping to beg Takumi to let her go by pretending to be pitiful.
Takumi fought even harder.
After all, this is a legal loli.
Who doesn't like a cute loli?
At least Takumi liked her, but due to the constraints of his conscience, he didn't dare bully a little loli.
But if it's a legal loli, it's different!
If I punch her, she will cry for a long time, right?
With this idea in mind and no constraint from his conscience, someone decisively unlocked this new boxing practice target.
Lulucy, on the other hand, was struggling to support herself under Takumi's fists. It wasn't until she was about to lose consciousness and faint that rescue finally arrived.
Two days later, Lulucy finally began her normal life in the Dimensional City after recovering from her injuries.
Out of consideration for her talents and hobbies, Takumi assigned her to the elixir production and research department and named her a director.
But in fact, apart from herself, there is only one member in this department who is also only one in name, Marikawa Shizuka.
And the two girls who were responsible for taking care of the experimental field before and were later deliberately trained by Takumi to have knowledge about medicine came to help her.
The situation is not much better than that of Marikawa Shizuka's medical department, which has only one nursing assistant.
Even this department was just established. Before, Takumi would only occasionally make some elixirs when he had time.
Therefore, even the office space only has a simple pharmaceutical workshop.
But Lulucy was very satisfied with it.
Because she really likes doing this.
And it doesn't matter if the conditions are simple. Anyway, if there is something missing, she can just ask Takumi for it.
In addition to the work content that she liked, Takumi also shared the god-level pharmaceutical knowledge he exchanged, which was what excited Lulucy the most.
This is a skill from the gods!
Knowledge that she didn't even dare to think about before was now right in front of her, and she could look it up at will!
"What a great experience! Thank you, Takumi."
Lulucy was so excited that she kissed Takumi.
It is worth mentioning here that because she knows that age degeneration is not only useless against Takumi, it may even have the opposite effect.
So Lulucy has not turned into her child form now, but has maintained her original appearance.
But in fact, there is not much difference, except that the figure is better than the girl form with the highest appearance rate in anime.
As for her face, it may be due to her racial talent or natural beauty, so there is not much difference. She still looks so young and beautiful.
"As long as you like it, don't force yourself too hard. You need to know how to balance work and rest, you know? If you tire yourself out, someone will feel sorry for you."
"Hehe, that person can't be you, right?"
"You guess?"
"Huh~, forget it if you don't tell me, I won't guess, I won't be fooled by you again."
In the past two days, Lulucy talked a lot with Hestia and the others and learned more about Takumi.
Soon she gradually woke up and understood that she was tricked by Takumi that day.
Although the result was exactly what she wanted, she was tricked, and she still felt a little unhappy after all.
Why did you have to resort to these tricks when it was clear that you could just tell her the truth?
Do you know that I will be embarrassed if you do this?!
She—because of this—those sisters laughed at her all day long!
Although they didn't mean anything else, they were just being amused. But didn't she, Lulucy, have no respect for face?!
At the same time, Lulucy also understood that although Takumi is a little less sharp in this area, there are really many tricks, and you may be fooled if you are not careful.
Therefore, Lulucy also keeps vigilance towards Takumi in her daily life, so as not to be tricked again and made a fool of herself.
Seeing that Lulucy was not so uncooperative, Takumi couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
He naturally knew that Lulucy was wary of him.
But was he the kind of person who would joke around like that?
Obviously not.
But it is true that he did something wrong. When he decided to do this, he was actually mentally prepared to be reckoned with afterward.
At that time, he just wanted to recruit her; as for other problems, they could be left for later and dealt with slowly.
Now that he has been misunderstood, he deserves it.
However, image restoration cannot be done with words. It can only be proven with actions and time.
So Takumi didn't explain much, and after telling Lulucy again, he left the pharmaceutical workshop.
But after leaving, Takumi was a little confused.
Because in the current Dimensional City, there is nothing left for him to do.
He had already dealt with the things that had to be handled by him personally.
The improvement of magic recorded in the past two days and the research on magic technology inputted by thoughts were also completed by him yesterday.
And the rest of the daily work has basically been arranged.
"But this is fine, it shows that my original goal of recruiting immigrants has been achieved."
