"Huh...? There are mermaids in your world?" Hayami Shirou suddenly said.

"Is it talking to me? Where did this mermaid come from? I've never seen one before."

As soon as he finished speaking, Masamune Makabe realized what he was talking about, and his mind involuntarily recalled things from his childhood.

When I was in first grade, before I was completely ostracized by my classmates, I was mocked one day with the words, "You really can't swim, you're so fat you definitely can't float."

In a fit of rage, he begged his parents to take him to the beach.

After that, he secretly went swimming alone, wanting to prove himself.

However, being too fat, he couldn't float.

After that, I don't know how, I fainted.

While unconscious, I seemed to dream of a mermaid.

"Huh...? Wasn't that a dream?"

"No, that's not a dream. Congratulations, you've got the script for The Little Mermaid."

After Hayami's reminder, Masamune Makabe gradually began to recall.

"So it wasn't a dream after all? So, when I was little, I was saved by a mermaid when I was about to drown."

"A wrong should be repaid in full, and a favor should be repaid tenfold."

"It's not too much to ask for a life-saving favor. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Then how about I repay you with my body?" Kitahara Shirou chuckled.

"Don't joke around. How could someone as selfish as me easily promise my own marriage?"

"So you do realize you're selfish after all?"

"Of course! I have that much self-awareness."

At this point, Masamune Makabe's heart stirred slightly, and he suddenly said:

"I've got it! I'll give you my wish as a token of my gratitude."

"With our current capabilities, it's not difficult to help people fulfill their wishes."

At that moment, a weary voice suddenly appeared from the white mist behind him.

Who is making a wish?

"what……?"

All the Shirou turned around at the same time and saw a middle-aged man with a lot of stubble standing there.

He was around thirty years old, his face was etched with fatigue, and he walked with a slow gait, much like a corporate slave who had been working overtime for more than ten days in a row.

"Another newcomer? Doesn't seem to be doing very well."

"Come on, shake hands, your chance to make it big has come."

The newcomer stiffly extended his right hand and shook hands with Kitahara Shirou.

The next moment, his body seemed to inflate, and both his complexion and demeanor instantly became completely renewed.

"My mind is finally clear. It feels so good. I haven't felt this way in a long time."

As the newcomer murmured to himself, Shirou learned about his past from their shared memories.

Shirou Hashiba, ten years ago, was transported to the modern world and entered an ordinary university.

Although he has the memories of his previous life as Kotomine Shirou, his body after transmigrating has no magic circuits. Apart from practicing Bajiquan, he is no different from an ordinary person.

After graduating from university, I suddenly realized that I had no other skills besides Bajiquan, which I had been practicing all along.

As for the memories of previous lives, they are of no use at all because they are too far removed from the past.

I've forgotten most of what I read, whether it's light novels or comics; wanting to be a plagiarist is just a pipe dream.

Unable to find a job, he opened a "jack-of-all-trades" shop two months after graduation.

Initially, there was no physical store; advertising was done only online.

From cockroach extermination to homework assistance, from tutoring and housekeeping to weeding and dog walking, from job introductions to marriage matchmaking, they basically accept any kind of request.

They claim that they can grant anyone's wish.

Later, as repeat customers increased, the brand's reputation gradually grew, and the money earned gradually increased, leading to the opening of a store.

Although I've been exercising, there's just too much mundane work to do. I'm busy from morning till night almost every day, with no time to rest at all.

This industry is so demanding that it is extremely difficult to recruit employees.

Every time I manage to recruit an employee, they quit after a few days, and even a raise can't keep them.

To this day, he remains the only person in the Yorozuya.

Tonight, after completing his last request, Shirou Hashiba was so exhausted that he unconsciously leaned against a roadside bench and fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I was inside this place.

At first, he thought he was dreaming, but years of work experience made him subconsciously reflexive when he heard the word "wish".

"So there really is a Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) in real life?" Kitahara Shirou exclaimed with a smile, "Hyami, you guys are practically in the same line of work, aren't you?"

"Does it count? It's clearly going in the opposite direction."

Hayami Shirou looked the newcomer Hashiba Shirou up and down, then shook his head speechlessly.

"What were you thinking? Why did you have to open a Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop)? And you're doing it all by yourself. It's a good thing you got in here, or you'd have died of exhaustion sooner or later."

"Ugh……"

Shiro Hashiba naturally knew he was telling the truth; after all, he knew his own physical condition best.

Since graduating from university, I have rarely exercised, and my Bajiquan skills have gradually fallen out of favor because I simply don't have the time.

Although one can view daily work as exercise, irregular eating habits and insufficient sleep leave the body constantly fatigued, only maintaining the bare minimum of health standards.

"When I first graduated from university, I didn't know many things and could only do manual labor."

“At first, I thought I would stop after doing it for a while, but as my reputation gradually increased and I had more and more clients, I gradually got used to this job and it became more and more difficult for me to leave.”

"Without realizing it, things have turned out this way."

"I often wonder, would my life have been better if I hadn't wasted my four years of university?"

"I never expected that I would suddenly awaken a cheat ability, haha... life is unpredictable."

"So what are your plans for the future?" Kitahara Shirou couldn't help but ask.

"Let's continue running the Yorozuya. With the Shadow Clone Technique and the Transformation Technique, I can open Yorozuya all over the world."

"Uh...aren't there many better jobs out there? Why stick to the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop)?"

"Habit is one aspect, but another is that I find myself quite enjoying solving other people's problems."

At this point, Shirou Hashiba paused for a moment and asked curiously:

"When will Liu Xiu come back? I want to see your concert."

“Uh… I’m glad you’re willing to participate, but it’s obviously impossible.” Kitahara Shirou looked troubled. “You didn’t look through the past memories carefully, did you? We can’t exist in the same world.”

"I think it should be fine! If Liu Xiu can open a permanent time portal and connect all the worlds together, then all the worlds will be one whole."

"I see, so that's another way of thinking."

Kitahara Shirou pondered this. Indeed, if all the worlds were connected, they would naturally become a whole.

At that time, the world should be able to accommodate two Shirous simultaneously.

"What you said is just a guess, but it does make some sense. So, if that day comes, you are all welcome to come to my concert."

"Oh... I'm really looking forward to it. A live version of the 'battleground' is sure to be very interesting."

Kitahara Shirou's smile froze instantly. He thought this guy wanted to listen to music, but it turned out he just wanted to watch a show.

"Give up. By the time Liu Xiu comes back, I'll have already won over Dongma."

"This is modern society. How can it be so easy to have a harem? Even if the parties involved agree, the three families would never agree."

"I will definitely succeed!" Kitahara Shirou replied without hesitation.

Not long ago, upon unexpectedly learning that Touma Kazusa was about to leave, he immediately went to other schools to recruit talent, intending to keep the group going.

However, before the talent recruitment was finalized, he suddenly learned that Touma was not leaving.

That night, Touma Kazusa confessed her feelings to him in front of Setsuna.

At that time, encouraged by Setsuna and influenced by the atmosphere, he impulsively made a harem declaration.

After that, although the relationship between the three became somewhat delicate, it was managed to be maintained to some extent thanks to the joint efforts of Setsuna and Kitahara.

However, this is, after all, a modern society where monogamy is deeply ingrained, making it very difficult for a harem to continue.

Of course, the three parties involved are alright, but the main concern is the excessive worries from their families and society.

"traitor."

A staunch advocate of monogamy curled his lip and said disdainfully.

"It's not my fault, is it? My girlfriend asked me to, so I couldn't very well refuse, could I?"

"Scumbag, I knew it would end up like this."

"This is not a fault of war."

"Ha ha……"

"That's enough! You just haven't had that kind of opportunity, otherwise you would definitely be like me."
