I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

Gojou Satoru coldly retorted, "Jay, you have no right to say that~"

Before the problem of the taste of the Cursed Spirit Ball was resolved, Xia Youjie would eat hastily after swallowing the ball each time because he had no appetite.

Xia Youjie: "...Ahem, let's not change the subject."

"Alright, alright, [Kuko] is younger than us, she still needs to be taken care of by her older brothers and sisters!" Gojo Satoru waved his hand, then proudly put his hands on his hips, "In that case, don't worry about leaving her in Gojo-nii-san, Gojo-nii-san will take good care of the younger ones!"

Shoko Ieiri and Yuuichi Natsumi exchanged a glance: "..." Brother and sister?

The two coughed discreetly, then obediently called themselves "older sister" or "older brother," as if it were quite tempting...

My thoughts involuntarily wandered for a moment—

"Hey? Shoko, Jetsu, you two look really weird on the face." Gojo Satoru leaned closer with a grin. "You're not thinking about something bad, are you?"

The two of them: Ha!

Without hesitation, he smacked Gojo Satoru on the head twice.

Because his companions were nearby, Gojo Satoru, who hadn't activated his technique, was successfully struck down.

"what--"

A scream rang out in the alley. Gojo Satoru exaggeratedly covered his head and squatted down, as if he had been hit by a bullet.

After rummaging through the trash and ending her day's activities, Zhu Yu, with the help of Honglong, managed to lie down on her bed in the college dormitory before her stamina ran out.

Rainbow Dragon, everyone says it's great for traveling (thumbs up)

[Players are taking a break...]

To start a new day in the game, Zhu Yu got out of bed and continued grinding levels as usual.

Then we discovered—

Her three classmates seem to be more enthusiastic towards her now?

Zhu Yu: I don't understand, but I respect it.

Zhu Yu, who silently opened her mouth to receive the food offered at the same time, sighed with emotion.

*

The noise from the amusement park surged in like a tidal wave.

Zhu Yu received a task to "help a little girl get a balloon stuck in a tree."

She's quite skilled at climbing trees.

He took the stuck red balloon from among the lush branches and handed it to the little girl who had stopped crying and started smiling.

Congratulations on completing the side quest: ......

Amidst the lively background noise, she suddenly felt a weight on her leg as something warm and cozy caught her leg.

Chapter 127 [Carrying]

"Sister is so awesome!"

The familiar little boy with spiky hair clung to her lap like a koala, his round face still covered in cotton candy that hadn't been wiped off.

When he looked up at Zhu Yu, his round eyes were filled with sparkling admiration, as if she had not just picked a balloon, but a star with her bare hands.

I glanced at the name above my head.

Ah, it's Hui.

Zhu Yu casually pulled the child off her lap and selected—[Carry].

Hui was obediently held by her, and her quiet and well-behaved manner pleased Zhu Yu.

She ruffled the little NPC's frizzy hair and turned to leave when suddenly someone grabbed the back of her collar. A large, well-defined hand reached out from behind and firmly pressed down on her shoulder.

"Hey, kid—" A deep male voice sounded from above, sounding very familiar, "You dare to kidnap my stupid son in broad daylight? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

Zhu Yu slowly turned her head and saw a black-haired adult man with a scar on the corner of his mouth.

He stared intently at her, his other hand still holding a children's water bottle, the puppy pattern on the bottle swaying with his movements.

Upon looking at the name above, one sees "[Zen Monastery Shen'er]".

Oh, so this is the little NPC's father.

She nodded to him, freeing herself from the Zen Temple's grasp by the collar, and swaggered away with the little NPC.

As she was about to walk towards the amusement park entrance, a tall shadow loomed over her—

"Hey, what are you trying to do, you brat?"

Zen Monk Shen'er had somehow appeared in front of her, arms crossed, eyebrows raised high, staring at her speechlessly.

Zen Monk Shen'er never expected that in the short time it took him to turn around, his foolish son would disappear without a trace, his small body blending into the crowd and instantly becoming invisible.

Fortunately, tracking down a child was no problem for him at all. When he finally found his son, he discovered—

It seems the son was delivered to their door for free.

Giving my stupid son away to be raised by someone else isn't entirely out of the question, but the thought of going home and facing my wife's questions...

Tsk.

The Zen temple even decided to make a symbolic stop.

"Nothing." Zhu Yu dodged left and right, only to find that Zen Temple Shen'er was also swaying left and right with her, looking as if he was determined to stop her.

Zhu Yu: ...Alright then.

It's not that we necessarily have to kidnap the little NPC, but since he's appeared, it's just a matter of taking him along.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

She suspected that the major NPC had stopped her because he had a quest to give her.

"You can take my son away, but you'll have to pay." Zenji grinned, his gaze falling on the gesticulating Hui, and he whistled with pleasure.

Sure, even a stupid son has a market.

"And it's only temporary."

He added that, for the time being, "leaving one's son to be raised by someone else" should be considered a "rental" service rather than a one-off transaction.

[Do you want to purchase the ownership of "Hui" (provisional version)?]

Yes (payment of 100 million yen/month)

【no】

Zhu Yu: ...I'm getting really worked up. I saw an NPC trying to steal money from the players.

Upon seeing that she had to pay, she immediately shoved Hui, which was tucked under her arm, into the arms of the Zen temple's Shen'er, turned around and left, her steps as fast as if she were riding on wheels of fire.

"Wait!" Zen Temple Shen'er stretched out his long arm and grabbed her by the back of her collar. "Why are you running? This is already a friendly price."

"I wouldn't offer such a low price to anyone else."

Ha, the players aren't poor now, but they're not stupid either.

She simply turned around, raised her face with a righteous air, and said, "Unless you give me a million every month and cook two more dishes, forget it."

Zen Monk Shen'er's lips twitched. He hadn't expected anyone else to be like him, wanting to eat and take something for free: "...Are you short of money or food?"

"They are all lacking."

No way, that's just the player's strategy!

A kind-hearted NPC would surely be generous at this point—

"...Want to make money?" Zen-in-Shen stared at her for two seconds with an inscrutable expression, then suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Zhu Yufei nodded quickly.

Zenji glanced at her high-level magic uniform and said with a hint of mockery, "That depends on whether you can give up certain things."

*

Even though NPCs might try to rip off players, it's true that they have ways to make money...

The NPC then introduced her to a new NPC named Kong Shiyu.

The two NPCs were whispering to each other in the corner, and then the new NPC took out his phone and added her contact information, saying that he would let her know if there were any suitable tasks in the future.

After adding the new NPC's contact information, the new NPC issued a new quest.

Just then, a red notification popped up, roughly saying that if you choose to accept the quest triggered by the new NPC, your faction will switch.

Zhu Yu: ...... Ah, this.

The task that's already in hand can't be allowed to slip away.

—Equipment: [Glasses with Mysterious Sealing Technique]

Kawakami Socks is back!

Kong Shiyu paused slightly in the hand holding the cigarette, and the ash fell silently in front of the tip of his shoe.

His pupils contracted almost imperceptibly for a moment, then returned to normal in the blink of an eye, only his knuckles tightened slightly, gripping the cigarette more firmly.

“…Interesting.” Kong Shiyu slowly exhaled a smoke ring, letting the mist blur their expressions. “It seems the kid you brought to the Zen Temple has some secrets.”

It has no magical power and is not a magical implement.

These are truly amazing glasses.

However, none of this has anything to do with him, the intermediary.

In this line of work, those who can keep secrets are the ones who live the longest.

Zen Temple Shen'er initially raised an eyebrow in surprise, but with Kong Shiyu by his side, he quickly composed himself, pretending that everything was expected, and gave Kong Shiyu a casual smile.

"Yes, this kid is no simple character. You can entrust her with any tricky tasks without worry."

This time, Kong Shiyu was genuinely surprised.

He knew Zen-yuan Shen'er fairly well; he harbored deep malice towards people, especially sorcerers with magical techniques. It was simply a pipe dream for him to recommend a sorcerer for a mission with what could be described as friendly.

Moreover, their words implied an affirmation of the sorcerer's abilities...

Kong Shiyu's gaze deepened, as if he were reassessing an unrevealed card.

*

Although working two jobs under a different identity was a bit physically demanding, the rapid increase in experience points made Zhu Yu very satisfied.

Due to the reputation value system, the main character cannot be too unrestrained.

I don't care about the vest/alias~

However, it seems that because the missions she took under her pseudonym were not so upright, after accepting a mission to "assassinate member XXX of the Directorate General", her pseudonym was identified as being in the "Curse Master" faction, and she was almost constantly being marked as a red name while using her pseudonym.

When switching back to her original form, Moth pulled out a photo of herself wearing glasses and told her and her contemporaries that this was the curse master [Kawakami Socks] who had recently arrogantly murdered members of the Director's Department. If anyone encountered her, they should capture her according to their own strength.

What is the relationship between the actions of the alternate account and the original account?

Gojo Satoru and Natsume excitedly discussed how strong this curse master was, and how they would definitely fight him if they encountered him.

Ieiri Shoko yawned, feeling rather bored.

As for Zhu Yu, he seemed to be completely blank-minded.

Moth Masakado: ...Was she really listening?

Chapter 128 Suspected of Slacking Off

Thanks to Zhu Yu's efforts, her experience bar was just a hair's breadth away from reaching Lv.70.

During this period, her disguise steadily drew a lot of hatred from the sorcerer faction. When she was wearing the disguise, almost all the sorcerers she saw were red-named.

However, she seems to be quite prestigious among the curse casters, and wherever she goes, she is surrounded by green names.
