This is the first time I've seen her like this. Unlike the game I was playing, she's calm and cold, even with her dialogue.
Her gaze hadn't left my eyes, as if threatening me.
"Listen here, kid." Her tone started to change to a more intimidating one, and she took my both shoulders with her hands.
"I am giving you a position to work under me. If you don't want it, I may have to force you in."
Even for me, this was too much. To be offered to work with her.
But at the same time, even if I refused, she wouldn't give up, so I made up my mind for the second time. With a little sigh, I looked back at her scary violet eyes.
"Fine," I replied in a disappointed tone.
"Finally. Took you long enough."
She took her hands off my shoulders and stepped back. Without saying another word, she took a small folded paper from inside her coat and handed it to me.
"This is my number. I will contact you tomorrow morning about the work."
I took the paper from her hand.
Her heels echoed as she turned around and walked towards the exit.
"Oh, before I leave... someone else was here before I arrived."
Someone else was here? Who could that be?
"Who..." I started asking but she was already gone.
"Seriously, what's her problem..." I muttered in annoyance.
And finally, I gave a look at the paper she gave me.
"What am I getting into now..." I said looking at the window beside me.
Although I was suspicious of her, this could be a good opportunity to survive in this world with her help. After all, the real master of Verdric was none other than Ren, according to the game.
Oh right.
The Demon Manifestation... That's when it's supposed to start.
"I guess it'll begin tomorrow..."
My heart skipped a beat as I turned around, ignoring the pain in my eyes.
The sky outside was already clear.
It was morning.
"...No way."
Ding!
「 Notification: Episode 2 - Demon Manifestation has begun 」.
"You've got to be kidding me..."
