Chapter 59: Good Thing You Ran Into Me Early

Chapter 59: Good Thing You Ran Into Me Early

After Miss Lilith entered the room, she sat directly on the sofa, crossed her high-heeled shoes, and looked rather bored as she examined her new manicure from yesterday. Then, the little delinquent girl tilted her head and glanced at Louis, pulling a stack of IOU notes from her abundantly filled bosom.

Among these IOU notes, there were office seals—these were real.

There was Director Trif’s signature in his own hand—this was also real.

And a portion had Louis’s signature—the seal looked like it was carved from a radish, and the handwriting was very delicate.

It seemed this Miss Lilith’s handwriting was quite good, and she was also very bold—blatantly so.

“What is the meaning of this?” Louis picked up those IOU notes, looking at Lilith with a face full of curiosity.

Such an important person naturally disdained speaking with someone like Louis—if it weren’t for her little follower Helen, who had handed over over two hundred Gold Galleons and begged her to teach him a lesson, she couldn’t be bothered to come here at all.

Of course, collecting debts was also an important matter—Helen had already promised to help find Director Trif’s account books. When the time came, they could doctor them a bit, and Director Trif would have no way to argue.

So teaching Louis a lesson was just something she did in passing.

A little delinquent girl sneered coldly and took out a Crystal Ball from her waist pouch. After activating it, it showed all sorts of shady things from the office. There was also a forged video clip—the back looked like Louis, but anyone with eyes could tell, so this thing was pointless.

But it was certainly enough to intimidate a bookworm, and anyway, after today, the real video would arrive.

[Obviously, Lady Lilith has specially prepared a big gift for you—even Helen hadn’t anticipated that Lilith would play it so big. Truly the big sister of the Black Skeleton Society. So exciting, so thrilling, so interesting.]

[Debt of 2000 Gold Galleons—for a temp worker, this was an astronomical figure!]

[It seemed Sir ‘Louis’ had indeed lost quite a lot of money gambling at the Red Fox Den, and had even embezzled office funds. Clearly, a temp worker couldn’t pay back this money, so Lady Lilith was being merciful, deciding to leave you an ‘out’.]

[You decide…]

Looking at the options below, Louis was stunned.

[A. “Miss Lilith, I never signed these. Aren’t you afraid I’ll report you to the Ministry of Magic for doing this? I am a disciple of Your Highness Ocris. You’re trying to blackmail the wrong person.”

Reward: Director Trif’s Helpless Sigh1, Ocris Asking Yingling for Help1, Female Gang Leader Yingling Handling the Matter1, Lashes for Helen and Lilith and others10, Random Attribute +1]

‘Oh dear, Ocris, how come you can’t even handle a student and have to ask Yingling for help? So frustrating for me.’

[B. “Don’t do this, don’t make me wear that, please, wuwuwu…”

Face the camera frankly, boldly dance a number, showing off your eight-pack abs and giant-like Strength. Ultimately turn the tables.

Reward: Little Foxes’ Joy6, Helen’s Crying and Anger1, Helen’s Joy1, Long-term Movie Lead Actor Contract1, Yingling’s Interest and Attention1, Experience +50]

[C. “Hahaha fools!” Publicly tear up the IOUs.

Reward: ‘Fox Black Skeleton Society’s Anger and HarassmentN, Curses Coming One After Another1, Movie Lead Actor, Queen6, Random Attribute +1]

Seeing these options, Louis couldn’t help but smack the fly swatter in his hand and grinned, nodding.

The Storybook had a predictive ability, so the entries that appeared were things the little foxes were likely to do today.

Louis thought directly putting them in their place was no fun.

Today, he was going to try a new game.

Everyone should have a good time.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the trip be wasted?

“Well then, Sir Louis. Have, you made up your mind?” Lilith brushed her hair back, looking with a half-smile at the handsome young Wizard behind the desk who was too scared to speak: “Or perhaps, you didn’t quite understand what was in the Crystal Ball, and you want~ to watch it again?”

Big sister Lilith gave her lackeys a look, and the two little foxes sitting on the desk started moving, intimidating Louis again. They chuckled wickedly. One reached out to lift Louis’s chin, another went to lift up Louis’s clothes, and someone else intentionally or not, provocatively glanced towards the Fireplace sofa.

Helen, who was invisibly on the sofa, had her mouth wide open, tears nearly flowing from her eyes. She regretted calling these scary people.

[What are you doing! How could you do this! This isn’t what we agreed on!]

[Wuwuwu, I called too many people, Louis probably can’t beat them…]

Louis used the fly swatter to brush away those fair, fragrant little hands reaching toward him. He straightened the Crystal Ball on the desk that had been knocked askew, then righteously and angrily rebuked them: “Have you no shame! This is the Sacred Icon Tree Academy, it’s The Sacred Land! Do you realize what you’re doing? There are so many people around; if someone were to shout in the room later…”

The little delinquent girls stopped chewing their gum, glanced at each other, then burst out laughing wildly.

“Hahahaha~ Look, look. He still wants to call for help?”

“These kinds of things, it’s only thrilling when done in The Sacred Land, right? Right?” The little foxes looked at each other, growing even more brazen, grinning nastily.

“Go ahead and shout, little Witch. Today, even if you shout yourself hoarse, no one will be able to hear you.”

“Who doesn’t know Lady Lilith is here handling business today? Everyone on the sixth floor has already cleared out.”

“Oh~~” Louis nodded as if understanding, raising an eyebrow.

“Little doggy, crawl over here quickly and put on the maid outfit. If you behave, I’ll go a little easier on you later.”

A little fox repeated a phrase she’d heard from street performers. It seemed she understood what ‘little doggy’ meant, because after saying it, she felt her mouth go dry, her face flushed red, but she was extremely excited.

The ‘weakness’ of this handsome young Wizard made the malice in the hearts of the many little foxes swell. All sorts of ‘colorful talk’ spilled from their mouths.

Hearing this, Louis couldn’t help but blink.

These little foxes knew quite a lot! Good, good.

What was more interesting was that these little delinquents were clearly all novices—their faces reddened after just a few sentences! Yet they all insisted on acting like little seductresses.

As if they thought this made them outrageous, bold, and menacing.

It looked incredibly entertaining.

It’s just that everyone seemed a bit inexperienced at this game.

And, they clearly weren’t very suited for such roles.

At that moment, one little fox even turned on a record player in the office, playing some outdated music, and then, to the ‘dynamic and fashionable’ rhythm, started shaking her head wildly without a care.

That little tail, those little ears, wagged and twitched as she shook her head, looking very cute and amusing. Louis almost laughed out loud on the spot.

Even cuter was that the little foxes seemed to think they looked very cool right now.

Helen also thought the big sisters were really scary.

Big sister Lilith suddenly started grinning nastily too, becoming bold.

Look, she started wagging her tail again, she started grinning nastily again, and couldn’t help but raise her high-heeled shoe.

[See? See the pandemonium? Broaden your horizons, little Wizard. Why not hurry up and bow down at the feet of your Great Demon King and beg me?]

In this atmosphere, she felt things were getting a bit interesting.

Louis also felt things were getting more and more interesting.

‘Looks like these little foxes still don’t know how perilous this world can be. If they go outside like this, won’t they get taken advantage of? They’d get sold off without even knowing what happened.’

‘Good thing they ran into me early.’

Louis decided not to waste words with them anymore.
