Any intentions to raise a pet? Hell I cant even raise myself and now you want to make me take care of a bum? Excuse me?
Have you taken a close look at my attire? Im the embodiment of a poor working-class person. Do you really think Im capable of raising a pet? Those fortuitous things that pass their time in leisure? Ji Bai tugged on the cloth of the cheap T-shirt he was wearing.
Oh so youre actually worried about money issues? Dont worry about it then that shouldnt be a problem anymore. Our superiors have already decided that they will give you an additional allowance every month as long as you accept her. After he finished speaking Lin Tuo patted his chest in a confident manner.
Allowance? What the heck? Dont tell me that this group has a universal regulation of issuing pets to newcomers?
Dont think about it too much. Do you really think that I want to assign this mission to you? Ill have you know that the students were wrecking their brains out and tripping over each other trying to get this. If it wasnt for some special circumstances do you really think that such a good thing would fall on your head? Lin Tuo said unhappily
Getting allowance just to casually raise a pet? How did such a good thing fall onto me? A complete newbie that had just joined the order?
Why do I feel like Im being singled out for some reason? Ji Bai tilted his head.
The top already decided that it could only be you. However you can still reject this. If thats the case then well just entrust this task to someone else or give you time to think it over.
Are there any benefits?
Just treat her well. Youll eat whatever she eats. Lin Tuo coldly said with his hands in his pockets.
Alright! Theres no need for me to think it over. Ill do it stat! Ji Bai arranged his slightly messy hair bangs. Upon thinking about it logically he could simply casually raise a small dog or cat and take the funds for himself! This was a once in a blue moon opportunity! He could make a killing as long as he raised it!
Hey. Those are your words not mine. Lin Tuo imperceptibly revealed a strange smile.
Are the funds really enough? Ji Bai silently crept towards him as he asked. He suddenly had a feeling that he had been scammed.
As I said it shouldnt be a problem.
Oh thats fine then. I have no complaints. Ji Bai slowly heaved a sigh of relief however the nagging feeling in his head that he had been deceived still remained.
A noblemans word
is his bond. Yes yes. Ill be a dog if I go back on my words. Ji Bai solemnly vowed as he replied.
Isnt it just merely raising a cat or dog? How big of a deal could it be?
Lin Tuo smiled. He clapped his hands and shouted towards a corner of the hall. Did you hear that? He agreed! You can come out now!
Hmm? Merely shouting can attract it? What cat or dog is so human-like?
Before Ji Bai could have the time to think it through again a cute petitely feminine silhouette dressed in gorgeous clothes suddenly walked out from the corner of the lobby in a shy manner. She had a short and standardized maid dress the colors were alternated between black and white. It revealed the area near her chest and exposed her extremely alluring yet faintly discernible ravine. Her skin was as white as a white-jade. Her long cherry-colored hair was tied into two twin-tails that hung down like flowing water. While her soft cat ears twitched embarrassment could be seen throughout her small red face.
??? Ke Ke-er? You Why did you Ji Bai subconsciously covered his nose. He could feel a torrent of hot blood rushing from his heart towards his brain.
You why did you dress like Did some lowlife piece of scum force you to do this? Ji Bai narrowed his gaze and slowly turned his eyes towards Lin Tuo on the side.
Hey! Hey! Dont misunderstand this! The attire shes wearing is something that Miss Ke-er herself volunteered to wear on her own! It has nothing to do with me alright? The expression in Ji Bais eyes was like a mighty dragon hiding within a deep pool; It was only tranquil on the surface however when it rages its billows would overturn the seas and rivers. This caused Lin Tuo to feel an indescribable fear of locking eyes with him.
Are you treating me like a three-year-old kid? Would such a small kid know the meaning behind her wearing that attire? The way I see it theres an 80% chance that someone was coaxing her to wear that outfit dont you think so? Ji Bais sharp eyes landed on Lin Tuos chest like swords this caused Lin Tuo to involuntarily retreat a few steps backward.
We-Well That might actually be the case
Master~ Thank you for taking in Keer. Nyaa~ The effeminate Nyaa sound caused Ji Bais heart and mind to go soft. However after he heard what Keer said his pupils narrowed. He immediately thought of the promise that Lin Tuo wanted him to make earlier.
Wait Is the pet youre referring to Its her?! The glare in Ji Bais eyes was turning more and more dangerous. It frightened Lin Tuo to the point that he hurriedly ran to cower behind Keer.
O-Of course? There arent many issues with that since shes a small kitten right? Besides remember! You already agreed! You cannot renege on your words! Also even if you do renege on your words you cant beat me up. This wasnt my idea in the first place!
You tool Just when Ji Bai wanted to say something he immediately saw Keers lustrous and pity-filled eyes.
Master Did Keer do something wrong for you to dislike her so much?
INo the thing is Ji Bai was speechless for a moment. There was no way he could possibly say that it was because he was worried that his identity would be exposed right? Logically speaking if he was to live with someone in the same house it wouldnt just be a matter of possibility but rather a matter of time he would be exposed. He had the bloodthirst disease a disease that would relapse every few days and forcibly turn him into a vampire. Therefore he wasnt being overdramatic by trying to reject this cat-eared maid. He just couldnt afford it.
Can you stop being so insatiable youngster? Do you know that because of this assignment the whole organization has already degraded into a ball of chaos? These terms already benefit you a lot cant you stop putting on airs? Lin Tuo who was still hiding behind Keer added.
Besides I can recall that a certain someone said that he was a dog if he reneges on his words.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
