I, the god, recruit witches to make money

I am here to tell you on behalf of Chief George that our cooperation is over and we will be enemies from now on."

"Hmm." The high priest replied indifferently. This decision was expected. Cooperation based on interests will also disintegrate as the interests disappear.

Giles' body disappeared in the house, but the high priest did not choose to stop him. He had more important things to do, which was to retrieve the stolen Ice Scepter.

……

"Hello everyone, I'm Yui, a reporter from Tokyo TV~"

The young woman held the microphone and greeted the audience in front of the TV, "It is now 10 o'clock in the morning on April 6th. As you can see, the blizzard covering Hokkaido has been lifted today.

After the efforts of all parties, the broken sky was repaired and the snow on the ground was cleared.

Hokkaido has been completely cleared of the influence of the God of Winter. Next, the government will carry out a large-scale immigration to restore Hokkaido's previous prosperity as soon as possible."

"Haha, those guys can really put money on their faces."

In the dark room, the woman with messy hair sneered disdainfully, grabbing potato chips with one hand and stuffing them into her mouth. "It was clearly finished on the 4th, but it was delayed to the 6th. When no one came forward to take the credit, he shamelessly took it as his own achievement."

“I really can’t stand the dirty politics of those uncles.”

The woman complained, stretched out her foot and pressed the remote control to switch to the animation channel. Friendship, hard work, and victory, these are the beautiful things that people should appreciate.

Ding dong.

"Wow~" She was so scared that the potato chips fell to the ground. The thick lenses almost slipped off her nose. She quickly pushed them away and looked out the door with her heart beating faster.

Someone rang her doorbell?

Did she do something wrong? No, that's not right. She sorted the garbage properly and always cleaned the area in front of her house carefully around 1 a.m.

The TV was never turned up halfway.

It should be those door-to-door sales guys, right?

She swallowed, curled up her body, and pretended that no one was home, so that they could leave.

There is a sign prohibiting sales at the door, why do some people always ignore it?

"Go to hell, you bastards."

She muttered softly and pushed the picture frame again. The doorbell stopped ringing, which must mean the salesman had left.

"Huh." She breathed a sigh of relief.

The house suddenly became chilly. It shouldn't be this cold in April.

"Sakurai Yuzu."

A man's voice suddenly sounded in the house. She almost wanted to hide in the underworld at the first moment. "Or should I call you the Ferryman of the Underworld?"

A terrifying chill rose from her heart, and Sakurai Yuzu did not choose to escape into the underworld.

Her intuition told her that the moment she cast the spell, the person would be killed by the opponent.

She slowly raised her hands and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, please spare my life, I'm willing to do anything."

Unlike her domineering self when burning incense, Sakurai Yuzu is a complete social phobia when facing each other.

She hasn't tried to communicate with anyone at close range for hundreds of years.

The high priest stood in the house, looking down at the woman in front of him. She was wearing a very sloppy and casual khaki sportswear, and her waist-length hair had not been combed for who knows how long, and was as messy as weeds.

Wearing black-framed glasses with thick-looking lenses.

She assumed the standard posture of kneeling down from the ground, completely lacking the demeanor of a strong person.

The high priest could never have imagined that his plan would be ruined by such a coward. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Where is the Ice Scepter?"

"What ice scepter?" Sakurai Yuzu answered in a trembling voice.

The high priest's eyes turned cold, "The only way to steal the Ice Scepter without me noticing is from the surface realm.

You are the most famous watchmaker in Japan, and you are also famous for putting money before people. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who can do such a thing."

"You, you are the high priest?!"

Sakurai Yuzu's body was shaking even more violently, her teeth were chattering, and her first thought was that my life was over.

The second thought was, what should I do with the eleven-digit deposits in the Swiss bank?

"Wow." Her tears flowed like a fountain. She had barely saved any of the money she had earned over the years.

Her greatest pleasure is to look at the numbers in her bank account every day.

When she thought about all the hard-earned money she had lost, she cried even harder, "Wow, please don't kill me."

The high priest said coldly: "Answer my question, where is the Scepter of Ice?"

"I, I gave it to Hojo Shuugo. If you want it, you can go to him and get it."

Sakurai Yuzu answered with a choked voice, wiped her nose with her hand, and casually wiped it on her sportswear.

The high priest asked coldly: "Where is he?"

"I don't know. He and I are just like a business and a customer. I only provide services. I don't know anything else."

Sakurai Yuzu regretted it. If she had known that the high priest was so powerful, she should not have accepted Hojo's order.

But she couldn't refuse the three hundred million US dollars!

The high priest frowned slightly. He had heard about Hojo.

The red movement at that time caused a huge sensation.

"I can spare your life."

The high priest thought for a while, but still did not kill Sakurai Yuzu.

This woman had indeed ruined his plans. From an emotional point of view, even if she were cut into pieces, the hatred in his heart would never fade.

But he was never swayed by emotions, and for the sake of the overall situation, he decided to keep her, "You have to do things for me in the future."

"Row."

Sakurai Yuzu agreed immediately.

The high priest saw through her thoughts, raised his hand, and a blue light shone between his palms.

Sakurai Yuzu suddenly felt a chill in her throat, and then a slight chill in her heart, "This is it!"

She raised her head suddenly, and when her eyes met, she lowered her head in panic and whispered, "What?"

"I put rings of condensed cold air on your throat and heart."

The high priest explained to her, "From now on, your life or death depends on my thoughts. Don't even think about taking it off, or it will cause a cold to break out.

Your body and soul will freeze.”

"Hi." Sakurai Yuzu was in tears. It was so scary. The man was so scary. No, it should be said that the high priest was really scary.

She couldn't stop shaking all over. When she thought about the fact that her future life would not be under her control, the urge to cry came to her mind again.

The high priest said coldly: "Find the Scepter of Ice and prove your loyalty to me. Then I will untie your bonds."

"Okay, okay," Sakurai Yuzu nodded repeatedly.

The high priest did not stay any longer. He was not naive enough to rely solely on this woman to find the Scepter of Ice.

He wanted to go find Hojo himself.

A strong chill left the house. Sakurai Yuzu continued to keep her head down. When she didn't hear any sound, she carefully raised her head and looked inside the house.

Not finding the figure of the high priest, she breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, muttering, "It's over. My peaceful life is completely over. If I join the Winter God Cult, I will be enslaved every day, doing unpaid work, and I will have to pay them money.

After all, it is an evil organization, and money will flow like water. The wealth I have worked so hard to accumulate will disappear in a few nights."

"No! My money!"

Sakurai Yuzu rolled on the ground several times, and suddenly she thought of a good idea.

That is to find someone to remove the rings on the neck and heart, and then escape into the underworld to avoid being hunted down by the high priest.

The question is who to find?

She thought of the man who set up the barrier in the underworld, perhaps asking him for help could solve the problem.

But... the farthest distance her physical body has ever traveled is from her home to the garbage collection site.

Sakurai Yuzu took a deep breath and decided to muster up her courage and give it a try.

She propped herself up and decided that if she wanted to go out, she couldn't continue wearing this comfortable outfit, so she chose to wear a light white dress.

"Hmm~" She put on her clothes with great effort, looked at herself in the full-length mirror, and pinched her abdomen with her hands.

It used to be so flat that I couldn't pinch any flesh, but now I have a little belly.

No wonder she felt that the dress didn't go smoothly just now.

Sakurai Yuzu sighed and tried to comb her messy waist-length hair. After trying a few times, she gave up, started packing the things she needed to go out, and headed for the entrance.

She reached out and turned the door, and the sunlight from outside came into her eyes, which seemed to be some super scary Yin-Yang magic.

The whole world became distorted in her eyes, and an ordinary road seemed to have no end.

Beep, the not-so-loud whistle made her tremble all over.

"Ah, it's so scary. It's so scary to go out. It's better to escape into the underworld." Sakurai Yuzu wanted to escape to the familiar underworld, but she stopped herself from doing so.

If it wasn't a mission, she would generally not enter the underworld, which was equally terrifying.

She took a few deep breaths, and with a hunched back, she tried to step out of the house, locked the door, and walked out step by step.

Don't look at people, just look at the navigation on your phone. Sakurai Yuzu stares at the phone and follows the navigation to the subway station.

The buzzing of people's voices was like a swarm of bees flying around her ears, and the invisible glances she cast seemed to be wondering why someone like her could go out.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sakurai Yuzu kept repeating in her heart. She didn't even dare to sit down and tried to shrink her body to avoid disturbing others.

……

Change to the subway and arrive at Nohara City.

This is outside Tokyo, in the Tokyo metropolitan area, so there is little traffic.

The quiet environment made her feel relieved, so she chose to take a bus with almost no passengers and got off at Nohara Shrine Station.

The sun shines on the asphalt road, there are emerald green trees between the mountains, and the air is not as turbid as in Tokyo, and seems a bit fresh.

Sakurai Yuzu breathed a sigh of relief and chose to walk towards Nohara Shrine.

"Hey, do you want to go to Nohara Shrine to pray for marriage?"

Sakurai Yuzu was startled by the sudden conversation. She turned her head hurriedly and saw a woman with a big belly sitting on a recliner at the door of the supermarket opposite the stone torii. Her face was filled with the glow of maternal love that blinded her eyes.

"Uh, yeah." She responded simply, not daring to delay any further, and hurried towards the stairs.

Why are there people who can greet people they don’t know casually?

too frightening.

Sakurai Yuzu walked up the steps, and the wooden worship hall appeared in front of her. A young man with black hair and regular features stood there straight. She said, "You don't look like you're here to cause trouble. What's the matter?"

Shiraishi stared at the visitor in front of him. With messy hair, a white dress and pale skin, she looked no different from Sadako in a horror movie.

However, she wore black-framed glasses with very thick lenses, and her hunched posture could hardly hide the outline of her chest. She was the kind of Sadako who would most likely get pregnant if she dared to scare people.

"Well, well." Sakurai Yuzu opened her mouth and stammered for a long time without saying a word. In a panic, she handed over a check with both hands and lowered her head and said, "Please accept it!"

"?" Shiraishi was a little confused. He took a look at the amount on the check. It was one million yen. To support him? No, that was too cheap. "What do you mean?"

"I would like you to help me remove the cold ring around my neck and heart."

If she didn't look at the person, she could make her words clearer, "This is the reward."

Sakurai Yuzu is very rich, but she never knows how to spend money. She makes money because she likes to watch the numbers in her bank account increase, not because she wants to live a luxurious life.

Instant noodles, potato chips and cola are her daily diet.

One million yen was the life-saving money she had squeezed out with gritted teeth.

"Oh," Bai Shi suddenly realized, reached out and grabbed the check and pulled it, but the other party didn't let go, seeing her inferiority complex and sloppy appearance.

Obviously, his magical powers are not weak, but he has fallen to the point where he is unwilling to even spend a check for one million.

Bai Shi softened his heart, loosened his hand, and said with a wave: "Okay, the two rings on you have been removed."

"So fast?" She was stunned. She carefully felt her body and found that the coldness in her neck and heart had indeed disappeared. The trick set by the high priest was solved within a second.
