Chapter 671 Elma Signs a Contract, Bai Yu's Response (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Erma was extremely excited. Yuuko Ichihara said with some doubt, "You're not going to use the same magic as Index, are you?"

"No, Index needs a lot of energy to replenish the physical energy consumed by the magic book stored in her brain. I said it was to make her not feel hungry, but Index doesn't need to replenish magic power, and she doesn't need a lot of energy to maintain her physical metabolism. Besides, I did some tricks at the time."

"what?"

"I used magic to wrap and compress the memories of her stored grimoires, so the space it takes up is much smaller. Anyway, she doesn't need these things. Hmm... you can think of it as me transferring her paper library into an e-book and leaving a memory card, but I didn't compress it too much."

"Is that so? Then why are you using such magic?"

"Because Index also loves food, and she has a photographic memory. I didn't reduce her memory too much, only half, which made things easier for her. But I digress, let's talk about Elma. She's different."

Eruma said excitedly, "Really?!"

"Sure, there are three ways."

"what?!"

"The first thing is to improve your life level and quality."

"What do you mean?"

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "Well... your life level is higher, so you can convert the energy you take in more efficiently. Compared to your original body, you can maintain your functions with less energy. Also, you might be able to convert the scattered low-concentration magic and energy in the air better."

"Wow?! That sounds amazing...like evolution!"

"Well, you could say that. The second way is to find a person or item that has unlimited magic power, and then you can establish a connection with it to get replenished."

"Um...that sounds really difficult. Where would I find people and props like that..."

Lucifer nodded and said, "That's right, it's difficult. And the last thing is to turn you into a child, and then you won't need as much energy."

Eruma blinked, then shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No way! It'll be inconvenient if I turn into a child!"

"really..."

Eruma said with a hint of helplessness, "There's nothing we can do about it..."

"No, isn't there also Option One?"

"Huh? But method one sounds even harder than the other two!"

"No, it's very simple. You just need to put your handprint on it."

"Huh? Leaving handprints? Could it be... the legendary deal with the devil?! You can actually do something like that?!"

Lucifer shook his head and said, "No, of course not, I can't do that, but you saw the memories, didn't you? You should know how Yuuko was resurrected, right?"

Eruma paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "You mean, you want me to sign that contract with Shopkeeper Shiraha?!"

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "You know what, this really is the simplest way. As someone who has signed the contract, I personally recommend that you sign it if you want to obtain enough energy."

Eruma opened her mouth, somewhat tempted. If it were possible, she wouldn't need to eat so much and could always be full of energy. Moreover, it seemed that Bai Yu was invincible, and by signing the contract, she would be immortal in a certain sense.

However, since she had nominally become a Servant, she was quite conflicted. After all, she wasn't in the same situation as Yuuko Ichihara, nor was she Cerberus. She and Shiraha had only just met, and she couldn't just agree to sign such a contract so easily.

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you won't lose your freedom or be forced to do things you don't like by signing. It's fine if you want to, it's not a big deal, don't worry about it so much."

"Actually, it's quite normal for dragons to sign contracts with others. Shopkeeper Bai Yu is also a very good person; he cooks the best food and is the head of the family. I also know his memories now and trust his character. But, no matter what..."

Beelzebub waved his hand and said, "I know what you're going to say. After all, it's our first meeting, so signing a contract right away seems a bit hasty, doesn't it?"

"Um...no, what I really wanted to say was, but no matter what, since my initial intention was to sign a contract and become a Servant after I've had my fill of food, it would be really embarrassing if word got out..."

"Huh?" xn

I initially thought this guy was thinking something perfectly normal, but it turns out he's still focused on food! Elma scratched her head and said, "Actually, what you guys said is also a big reason..."

"However, being able to eat my fill, constantly replenishing my energy, and even leveling up my life force—essentially making me invincible—prevents me from feeling awkward eating in the restaurant, and it's a good deal... Plus, I'm quite interested in other worlds and stuff..."

After thinking for a moment, Eruma looked up and said, "Manager Shiraha! May I ask you a question?"

"Huh? I'd like to hear the details."

After pursing her lips, Erma said softly, "Manager Shiraha, do you think I should stay in the human world?"

This question surprised Lucifer and the others, who never expected her to ask it. Bai Yu smiled and said, "That depends on why you're staying here."

"Ok?"

"You say you're trying to reconcile the two sides, but actually you're full of curiosity and affection for the human world, whether it's food or lifestyle. Now you need to send more people out. It's clear you trust Ms. Miyano Akemi a lot."

"In such a short time, you can trust a human being so much, not only because you are confident in your own abilities, but also because you are a kind-hearted person like her. You can feel her sincerity and kindness, and it is because of these touches and cares that you choose to trust her."

"You chose to stay in the human world, ostensibly for harmony, observation, and savoring delicacies, but what is it really about? Ultimately, it boils down to your kindness, sense of responsibility, and... longing..."

Bai Yu, with his legs crossed and the book closed, smiled and said, "It's just a longing. You're willing to believe in the good side of humanity, and you yearn for those insignificant, heartwarming moments that you might not see among the dragons."

"Curiosity is the beginning of exploration, observation is the beginning of understanding, and experience is the expression of recognition. What you are curious about in the human world is not just food and life, but what you are more curious about and more eager to see is that moment of emotion and sincerity that can touch your heart."

"So, since you've asked this question, I can only give one answer..."

Bai Yu pointed to his heart and said softly, "See with your eyes, taste with your taste buds, experience with your body, but don't forget this place, there is something that makes you conflicted, or rather, reluctant to let go. You will see more, eat more, and experience more."

"Human regret, persistence, emotion, inspiration, and so on... If you're asking this question hoping for an invitation, then... welcome..."

Lucifer and the others were also taken aback. Elma stared blankly at Bai Yu. She knew that "Welcome" had two meanings. After a long while, Elma directly crushed the bone of the rib in her mouth with a crunch and looked up at Bai Yu.

"I never thought I'd be making a contract with someone... I'll sign!"

Chapter 672 Elma's Surprise, Shiho Miyano's Interest (Please Subscribe~)

Elma was genuinely surprised that Bai Yu could say such a thing, because the reason she had decided to stay was that it wasn't uncommon for dragons to sign contracts, and judging from her memories, she was really looking forward to life here.

Moreover, aside from becoming a Servant, it seems like everyone gains something: life upgrades, efficient energy conversion, more efficient energy absorption, and shared life.

Bai Yu is invincible, which means she is essentially immortal. Moreover, she has a wonderful family, endless delicious food, and the opportunity to see many things and people from another world, as well as other world delicacies.

Moreover, Bai Yu's answer did indeed touch her. Having such a head of the family seemed pretty good, and since there didn't seem to be any master-servant orders, just a nominal one, then she was actually the one who benefited.

When she saw the contract, Elma breathed a sigh of relief but still pricked her finger and pressed it down. On the other side, Bai Yu also sighed helplessly. If the contract's emblem could be revealed, he would definitely have many tattoos by now.

As the two ancient contracts burned and disappeared before her eyes, Elma was stunned for a moment, then stood up in disbelief, clenching her fists and saying in surprise, "What... what was that feeling..."

Lucifer tilted his head and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Excellent! It feels so relaxing, and... and I can absorb a small amount of external magic now. It's negligible, but something is better than nothing. Amazing..."

Why don't you try eating something?

Elma nodded, picked up a piece of braised beef, ate it, and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! The energy conversion rate is really higher than before!"

"Then that's it. Sure enough, you and Index are fundamentally different. You are simply because you are a dragon, so you need a lot of energy to maintain your activities and normal metabolism."

"Hmm... Hmm? Uh... Shiho, what's with that look...?"

Shiho Miyano and Akemi Miyano snapped out of their daze when they heard Lucifer give Elma advice, but they didn't say anything. They just watched until Elma signed the contract and verified it, confirming that everything was true.

Shiho Miyano didn't say anything, she just covered her face as if her worldview had completely collapsed. Vermouth chuckled and said, "Just as I thought, your worldview has indeed collapsed."

"Give me a reason why my worldview won't collapse?!"

Vermouth simply shrugged nonchalantly without saying a word, her "kill and forget" attitude making Shiho Miyano's eyes twitch. Akemi Miyano, meanwhile, said blankly, "This is the kind of family power you mentioned before..."

"Of course, but because of memory issues, you all know who's in our family, right? That's why I said that, apart from the other reasons mentioned before, you'll definitely stay if you come."

Shiho Miyano breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although your tone made me very uncomfortable, what you said is not a problem... Besides, I am very interested in some things right now."

"Hmm? For example?"

Shiho Miyano turned to Eirin Yagokoro and said softly, "Lady Yagokoro..."

"No need to be so polite, just call me by my name. After all, we're not strangers."

"Okay... In the memories I received before, I was very interested in your ability, Eirin. You can make all sorts of special medicines?"

"There's nothing wrong with what you're saying... so?"

"So, if possible, I hope you can take a look at this medicine with me later and help me find an antidote."

Eirin Yagokoro nodded and said, "Sure, and I'm also quite interested in this poison, but I didn't expect you to find someone to help you research it."

"First, the sooner I develop an antidote, the sooner I can get rid of the pressure in my heart. Second, if I can develop it sooner, I can do other things sooner. As for the last one... I have no reason to be a lone wolf even if it means hitting my head."

"If there is enough data, helpers, and experimental equipment, I will naturally not refuse. Only a lunatic would make such a decision."

Eirin Yagokoro nodded and said, "That's true, but you probably have more than just this one thing..."

"That's right. I'm quite interested in those special drugs you brought out before. Let's talk about them sometime. After APTX, I also want to make some drugs that are beneficial to others."

"sure."

As Shiho Miyano spoke, a rare hint of interest appeared in her eyes as she said, "I'm very interested in that ghoul's gene serum right now."

"I knew you'd be interested in this. I'll tell Shu later; she'll be moving in soon, and you can look into it together."

Shiho Miyano nodded, then said somewhat strangely, "One of the last two things I'm interested in is also about her, cellular enhancement... It sounds interesting, but that's alright. As for that Garuda, her bloodline should be the same as the Feng Shui I met that day, right?"

"That's right. What? You're not going to investigate the Wu family, are you?"

"Of course not, I'm just curious. I'd like to talk about it sometime."

"Then why didn't you consult with feng shui masters back then?"

Shiho Miyano said softly, "First of all, Garuda is on a higher level. Secondly, I always have a feeling that if I talk to her, I'll probably be teased."

Lucifer nodded and said, "A wise judgment. Feng shui is probably just playing a joke."

"As expected... However, I never expected such a thing to happen... It really completely overturns my understanding."

"You'll gradually get used to it. By the way, your and Elma's rooms are all ready, and we've provided you with daily necessities and skincare products. Vermouth will show them to you when you go upstairs. You definitely won't be able to go to bed early."

"Ok?"

"Because those guys upstairs are still having a party. If you come, you'll be dragged over as soon as you finish cleaning the room. They're really curious about you. And Mingmei, you're the most well-regarded person in the family. You'll definitely be dragged over to chat after you remove your disguise."

“Uh…” x3

P.S.: Elma's contract signing is foreshadowing, and it's related to other dragons. Also, preparations...

Chapter 673 The Reason for Saiki Kusuo, Erma is Very Happy (Please Subscribe~)

"Wow...the configuration is really quite complete."

"Of course! Every room in the store was originally the same. You can decorate it however you like. Most of the skincare products your sisters use are from your sister's store; they're all the same."

"Besides that, the store's special feature is that even if you open the windows, no dust or mosquitoes will enter the room. Alright, put your things down and come with me. Zhengyi and the others are having a great time right now."

Shiho Miyano and the others chatted downstairs for a while. After Elma finished eating the rest of the food, she felt a rare sense of satisfaction and full of energy. She exclaimed that she had made the right decision to sign the contract. She didn't stay long before Vermouth took her upstairs.

As a result, Shiho Miyano and the others put their things away and were immediately kept in Masayoshi's room. Erma quite liked this atmosphere, especially after learning that Erma had also signed a contract with her husband.

With this group of talkative and lively people around, Shiho Miyano and Akemi Miyano quickly started chatting. Vermouth nodded to herself, seeing that the two sisters were fitting in well.

Shiho Miyano also thought the environment was quite nice. During the day, she would go to the university to teach, conduct experiments, and research antidotes. In the evening, there would be a big meal, and the people around her were all very nice. She could spend every day with her older sister, and after a long day, she could relax at a party like this. It was really great.

Yamato said with some surprise, "Oh! Is that so... Does that mean that signing a contract with Shopkeeper Shiraha will make you really powerful?"

"Strictly speaking, at most it will make you more powerful in the present, with a greater focus on functions and the like. It won't directly turn you from a weak being into a top-tier powerhouse, but you definitely won't die. And it's usually only signed under special circumstances."

"Hmm? Like?"

"For example, Yuko was just a moment away from dying. And for Erma, in order to maintain sufficient rationality, bodily functions, and metabolic functions, this is the best way. Otherwise, most people would not need to sign this. If Erma could generate magic power or absorb magic power very well, she would not need to."

Eruma nodded repeatedly. She was currently full of energy, and at this party hosted by Justice, eating was simply eating.

"I see... But as expected of Manager Shiraha! Such an improvement just from signing a contract."

"That's true, after all, my husband is invincible. By the way, is Dong Xiang going to bed so early today?"

"No, she's just someone I bring over for a chat every day. That girl is much more sensible than Xiao Qiong. She went back to study after a while and even made time to play games with Xiao Qiong and the others. She just left and should be starting her homework now."
