Everyone in the chat group except Big Duck Duck was repeating the same sentence.
[Levi: Lazy dog~ @Elysia]
[Stelle: Lazy dog~ @Elysia]
[Lumine: Lazy dog~ @Elysia]
[Kiana: Lazy dog~ @Elysia]
[Asta: Lazy dog~ @Elysia]
[Elysia: (pouting) You guys don't get it, I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere!]
[Elysia: Elysia is angry now. The kind that can't be comforted without a starskiff!]
The moment the words "starskiff" appeared, everyone knew exactly which rich target she had her eyes on.
[Levi: Why me?!]
Eating hotpot and singing songs, then bam, suddenly getting extorted.
And it was only him. How was Levi supposed to accept that?
How was Levi supposed to accept this?
Everyone else had already said it. If Elysia wanted compensation, then everyone should be treated equally.
[Stelle: Agreed!]
[Lumine: Agreed my ass!]
Simple trash talk, ultimate enjoyment.
[Lumine: @Kiana, go buy sunflower seeds for the idiot!]
Levi was obviously trying to drag everyone into this, and Stelle was still going "agreed agreed agreed." If she wasn't an idiot, then what was she?
"Huuuh..."
Holding a Pokey stick between her fingers, Stelle leaned on the railing and looked at the Ambrosial Arbor that seemed close enough to touch.
"Lumine, I won't hide it from you. Actually, I just want you to get in the water..."
[Lumine: ???]
[Levi: Holy shit! If she really does it, I'll carry a train and become top donor!]
[Asta: What does "get in the water" mean?]
[Kiana: Yeah, what does it mean?]
[Elysia: That's right, that's right. What does it mean?]
The innocent trio had been confirmed.
[Levi: @Stelle, tell the truth. Did you become a director?]
Unfortunately, Stelle didn't answer.
After saying that sentence, she closed the chat group. No matter how many notification sounds came through, she had no intention of opening it.
Because she knew Lumine was definitely venting right now.
Only after the notifications slowed down did she reopen the chat and look at the messages inside.
Just as she expected, it was indeed Lumine cursing her out.
"Wait!"
Stelle's finger stopped scrolling through the chat history.
She frowned at the message.
[Lumine: Get in the water, get in the water, get in the water... Your whole family can get in the water!]
"Sorry, I don't have any family."
After being enlightened by the Vidyadhara's traits, Stelle realized that she was actually someone who was naturally impossible to defeat.
However...
"The way she's cursing feels different from what I imagined."
She was cursing the wrong thing.
'When did I tell her to get in the water?'
Ignoring everyone else's messages, she found the last thing she had said.
"F*ck!"
[Stelle: My mistake, my mistake! What I meant was go swimming, swimming! Swimming!]
[Lumine: My ass!]
Only coming out to explain after all this time.
'Who would believe that?!'
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
[Lumine: Levi!]
Levi immediately stood up, straightened his body, and stared ahead with determination.
"What orders does the young lady have?!"
Even though he couldn't actually see her.
[Lumine: Go kill Stelle!]
[Stelle: !!!]
[Stelle: Don't, don't joke about something like that.]
[Lumine: You think I'm bluffing? @Levi, reward: Paimon!]
[Ding! Commission detected: Kill Stelle!]
[Reward: Paimon.]
Seeing an actual commission pop up, Levi, who had just sat down, immediately shouted, "Holy shit!"
[Levi: You're serious?!]
'Also...'
'About using Paimon as a reward...'
'Does she know?'
Seeing Levi's message, Stelle bit through the Pokey stick in her mouth, her expression shifting.
"If you're going to be heartless, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Levi's eyes widened slightly. He felt like he had just realized how to get more commissions.
Though the method was a little inhuman.
Create conflicts.
Thinking about it carefully, it really was a bit inhuman, so Levi decisively deleted the idea from his brain.
[Lumine: Hmph hmph hmph, and what can you do about it?!]
[Stelle: @Levi, go kill Lumine! Reward...]
[Stelle: Stelle!]
[Levi: !!!]
'Bro! You sold yourself?!'
The last person who pulled this move, Qingque, was already sticking her butt up in his bed.
Of course, Levi wasn't bragging. He was just saying that one more might be more than he could handle.
He didn't want to reach middle age ahead of schedule.
[Levi: No need, no need. Let's change the reward.]
Glancing at the commission prompted by Stelle's words, Levi tried persuading her not to do anything stupid.
Looking only at their conversation, anyone would think Levi was the one paying the price.
[Levi: Bro, calm down.]
At that moment, the silent Lumine appeared again.
[Lumine: You want to compete with me?! You want to compete with me?! Adding to the reward... Lumine!]
[Ding! Reward Update Notice! Reward: Paimon → Paimon, Lumine!]
[Levi: ...]
[Lumine: Hahaha! You've got nothing left now, do you?!]
[Stelle: ...]
"Tch!"
Just then, March 7th happened to pass by. Stelle quickly stepped forward and grabbed her.
"Help me out. If this works, you can do whatever you want with me afterward!"
March 7th blinked at her.
'Do whatever I want?'
'Seriously?'
———
Elysia blinked.
"This isn't developing the right way, is it?"
Wasn't this supposed to be a scene where she extorted Levi?
"How did it suddenly turn into this..."
It looked like human trafficking...
[Stelle: You want to compete with me?! @Levi, add March 7th's name to the reward!]
Levi, who thought everything was finally over, saw Stelle's message and immediately froze.
[Levi: ???]
[Levi: No, bro, I really have to ask. Does March 7th know you're doing this?]
[Stelle: She knows!]
The system immediately verified Stelle's claim.
[Ding! Commission Reward Updated! Reward: Stelle → Stelle, March 7th!]
[Stelle: Two living people are more useful than your two shorties!]
Just in terms of height, Stelle alone was probably taller than Lumine and Paimon combined. Not to mention March 7th wasn't short either.
Levi muttered, "When you reach middle age, you have no choice but to soak goji berries in a thermos... If this is fate anyway, why not let it come early?"
———
[Alchemy Commission]
"I agreed. Now what?"
"Nothing else for you to do."
"...?"
March 7th tilted her head as she looked at Stelle's back.
'Did this girl eat something she wasn't supposed to and get food poisoning?'
[Lumine: ...]
Lumine went silent for a short while.
Just when Levi thought she had given up.
[Lumine: @Levi, add Xiangling's name too!]
[Ding! Commission Reward Updated! Reward: Paimon, Lumine → Paimon, Lumine, Xiangling!]
[Lumine: Come on! Do it!]
There were plenty of people on the road anyway, and lots of beautiful girls too. No way she couldn't find a few kind-hearted people to help.
[Stelle: What a coincidence! I've got plenty of people here too!]
"Bailu! Come here!"
"Hm? Who called me? Oh, it's you. What do you want? Feeling itchy again?"
[Ding! Commission Reward Updated! Reward: Stelle, March 7th → Stelle, March 7th, Bailu!]
Amazing. She even tricked Bailu into joining.
"!!!"
The apple Elysia was holding fell to the floor.
'Holy shit, human trafficking!'
[Elysia: Wait a minute! Shouldn't we be discussing compensation for me right now?!]
If she didn't stop these two, they might end up sending everyone in the world to Levi.
Seeing Elysia show up and speak, Levi's eyes sharpened.
[Levi: Whoever sends Elysia over, I'll complete their commission!]
[Elysia: !!!]
[Ding ding ding...]
[Stelle: @Elysia, I've never asked you for anything in my life...]
Compared to Stelle directly tagging her, Lumine was smarter and sent Elysia a private message instead.
Though what she said was basically the same.
[Lumine: I've never asked you for anything in my life...]
