After mastering the resurrection technique, they begged me to extend their lives.

The administrative hall, the inspector general's office.

Glenn, the old goblin wearing a dark green cotton-padded coat, looked at all the documents laid out in front of him with a heavy heart and his thick eyebrows furrowed.

"Little Xingmi, why are you doing this..."

The old goblin shook his head.

I am fully aware of how high the costs and risks of these things are, and how difficult it is to gather them all.

"Um... Uncle Glenn, I've told my dad that An Xiao is the only person I want to protect in Stardust Harbor... I want him to have a proper status, so... so please cooperate and help me, okay?"

"..."

Old Glenn flipped through the golden notebook and sighed again as he looked at the words "Stardust Harbor - First-Class Citizen" printed in magical script.

A nervous little fox stood in front of the VIP seat opposite the desk.

What is the little fox's status in Stardust Harbor?

Her name is Xingmi Weaver, her father's name is Xingqi Weaver, and her father also bought a golem from the capital of Batos called Xingren.

It was placed in the central square of the entire port as a protective array for the harbor.

All right.

Now, under his daughter's coaxing and pleading, the president of the Stardust Chamber of Commerce has assigned himself, the head of the security department, a task: to stamp these documents.

Should this chapter be closed, or not?

There is no other answer.

Even if it means offending Lilia's forces... the old goblin Glenn believed that "he must not forget his roots."

The collusion between officials and businessmen has caused a major upheaval.

-

*Splat*

"That's wonderful! Uncle Glenn! I knew it, you must spoil me!"

Seeing the old goblin with a sour face as he withheld the official seal, the little fox immediately beamed with joy and seized the opportunity to quickly voice his even bigger demands—

"My father can only buy this residency status, but I might need your help to write a letter of recommendation later to help him complete the relocation procedures to the capital!"

"..."

"Uh, I'd like to give you a heads-up, Uncle Glenn, since you have quite a few connections in the capital, right??"

"You silly girl..."

Old Glenn adjusted his glasses to prevent them from slipping off his sunken nose.

He simply couldn't understand why, apart from Miss Hela, the little girl Xingmi right in front of him would care so much about a stranger.

This makes absolutely no sense.

At this moment, the elderly goblin was completely unaware of the behavioral logic of the new generation of young people.

For a long time, the various countries on the continent of Vain have been shrouded in a repressive atmosphere.

Years of war and conflict have made young people afraid to pursue what they like.

Firstly, there is the suppression of social class; secondly, there is the wealth threshold; thirdly, there is the social status of one's background; and fourthly, there is the length of one's life.

This makes finding a compatible partner to spend your life with a rather complicated matter.

The fox-people are a race easily influenced by estrogen; they are easily captivated by the first impression of someone they admire.

The little fox felt that the handsome human man who could unleash ultimate magic that no magician could do was, from every angle, perfectly in line with her aesthetic.

"hey-hey……"

At that moment, she felt a surge of joy, and a great weight was lifted from her shoulders.

When I returned from Lilia's place, I sensed that she was not someone to be trifled with and would definitely take action against An Xiao soon.

However, the other party is a prospective criminal with powerful connections, so we cannot devise a plan in advance.

Therefore, since it is impossible to intercept her before she takes action, it is a good idea to prepare for the future and find a way to ensure that the Golden Scales Guard provides complete protection for An Xiao.

I've done everything I can.

I begged and pleaded with my dad half the night to give me the green light, saying it was for my future. After much effort, he finally agreed.

When asked why, the little fox said that it had fallen in love with a certain human at first sight, and to emphasize its importance, it even said that it "wanted to become the other person's pet".

These terrifying words kept the fox father awake all night, as he desperately wanted to figure out what kind of human had bewitched his daughter.

but.

The fox dad is a seasoned veteran, with unfathomable depths of cunning.

Since my daughter is so insistent, I might as well grant her wish and incorporate An Xiao's identity into my territory.

Wouldn't it be much easier to investigate or monitor him in the future?

Old Glenn probably understood what Fox Dad was thinking, so everything went quite smoothly today.

"I will still give you the 300 gold coins. He's in the reception hall now, girl, you can go and take him away."

Old Glenn rubbed his temples and gave the order to leave.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Glenn! But I have one last little thing to ask!"

Hoshimi smiled slyly; the conditions were still being extended.

"…you say."

"Could we, you mean, assign an elite officer to patrol and protect the area around the Stardust Inn on weekdays? Just like a routine mission, rotating shifts day and night!"

“…………”

Old Glenn felt a dull ache in his temple.

"The labor costs..."

"Oh dear, I've already calculated it in my account. When I grow up, I'll earn money to make up for this!"

"..."

Should the chairman's daughter pay off the debt?

"Alright, alright. You can go now, little rascal. I'll take care of things."

The weary inspector summoned his subordinates and whispered a few instructions to them.

Afterwards, he stacked the stamped documents and pushed them back, completing the entire process, and then gestured for Hoshimi to leave.

He was really tired today.

-

……

At night, the full moon hangs high in the sky.

The excited little fox, carrying these things, skipped and hopped towards the reception hall where An Xiao was waiting, like a student waiting to be praised by a teacher.

To be honest, this wave of strong support was completely unexpected for someone.

An Xiao, who was waiting in the house, saw the little fox running towards her with pitiful and concerned eyes. Her initial suspicion of her began to melt away a little as the fox showed her genuine concern.

Favorability, +7.

"An Xiao, An Xiao, are you alright? That bad woman didn't hurt you, did she?"

The little fox seemed more concerned about his health than about rescuing him.

"Um…"

"Actually, I've wanted to warn you for a while! I investigated her hideout for you, and I know she has ill intentions! But... but I..."

The little fox wanted to say that it didn't have the courage.

Having been treated with such indifference, the only way she could think of was to make up for the difference in perception through continuous effort and dedication.

Not a creator, nor a witch, what else can I do to attract attention besides these methods?

She had so much to say.

But when it reached my lips, I choked back my words.

His expression was somewhat hesitant, and his approaching steps slowed.

Such a personality made An Xiao feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"It's alright, Hoshimi. If you want to find me in the future, just come. I won't refuse to see you. And later, you can leave a wisp of magic for An to remember your coordinates. That way, I can stay in touch with you whenever I want to find you."

"Okay!"

The little fox was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He quickly handed a pile of documents to An Xiao, and then, as instructed, prepared to leave the coordinates.

"By the way, who is Xiao An...?"

"It was a messenger given to me by Miss Hela, and now it has been renamed and is at my service. By the way, it's quite intelligent, and it helped me in this crisis."

"Hello, little fox!"

Upon hearing that his master had mentioned it, the raven perched on someone's shoulder spread its wings and gave Hoshimi a friendly smile:

"I can help you send letters and light items! Except love letters."

When it comes to protecting its master, Xiao An is quite cautious.

"..."

Hoshimi gave an awkward smile and quickly left a magical mark.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Ai Li, who was standing next to An Xiao, was still wearing her clothes and staring at her without saying a word, looking very wary.

Her eyes lit up, and she had an idea.

"Um, An Xiao, what are your plans for tomorrow? Are you going back to the hotel to rest, or are you going out to run errands? Have you made any decisions?"

She asked, concerned.

"I'll probably go to the Adventurers' Guild after I take a long nap. I'm still short of some gold coins, and I need to figure out how to earn them."

"Oh...do you want some...?"

"No, I don't like owing money to others."

Before Xingmi could finish speaking, An Xiao had already guessed what she wanted to say.

850 gold dragons is an enormous sum for ordinary people.

But for the young lady of the caravan, it might just be a matter of her acting cute with her father.

However, there's no need to owe favors that can be easily repaid through one's own efforts.

"Okay, I respect your decision, but what I really want to say is... even creation is a girl... if a girl doesn't change her clothes all the time, she'll definitely feel uncomfortable."

"An Xiao, I was thinking of taking Miss Airi out shopping tomorrow and buying her and your other creations enough new, comfortable clothes to change into. That way, they won't feel uncomfortable when you travel in the future, and they'll look even more beautiful. Although... this is just my personal idea, what do you think of this suggestion?"

The little fox narrowed its eyes and, at the perfect moment, cleverly continued the offensive that he couldn't refuse.
