"There is only whether I want to deal with it, nothing exists that I can't solve."
Shiro said this calmly and composedly, and it must be admitted, he really delivered it well.
"Then, what if I don't use those three opportunities?"
Yotsuya Miko suddenly got an idea and thought of this matter. According to the agreement, she would become his after three times, so she simply wouldn't use them.
Shiro couldn't help but sigh when he heard that. This was also a very smart person, no wonder she could survive in such a situation at the beginning.
"Theoretically, nothing will happen."
"Theoretically?"
May immediately felt that his words had a hidden meaning, because "theoretically" was obviously not a good expression.
"Emmm, however, once those types lock onto a target, due to certain rules they can't act directly, but do you think they will give up? Wouldn't it be easier to deceive the other party by creating more situations or accidents?"
"After all, it is a being that has lived for at least 400 years. Do you think it's hard to deceive you? Earlier I clearly knew the other party's situation, so I didn't personally act, because it's beneath my level. If I intervene, the situation changes. When the Yin-Yang Eyes are closed, the other party has no chance, so they will definitely have to change their approach."
These people were not stupid; after hearing that, they understood that she had been targeted, and that the other party would later devise ways to make the girl in front of them submit, in other words, to forcibly fulfill the contract.
Yotsuya Miko felt terrible after hearing that.
"Don't look at me. According to the first contract, I only solve the problem of your Yin-Yang Eyes, and the reward required can be said to be incredibly cost-effective. If you don't believe me, ask Yukinoshita next to you. In this kind of situation, the price you would have to pay to hire a real professional, excluding beginners and half-baked ones, might be lower, but there would be no guarantee and it wouldn't be resolved."
"For the problem of your eyes and your constitution, the people who can solve it, compared to the price I wrote, that's practically a bargain."
Yukinoshita was a little confused, but immediately began to think. She clearly understood that he gave two contracts. The first was definitely not excessive, probably what he was talking about now, while the second, for solving the evil spirit, was definitely excessively high. At that moment, she also faced the girl's gaze full of pleading and questions.
"I don't know your situation and I don't have much contact with this field, but I clearly understand that to invite a real professional in this field, you first have to find someone."
"And after hearing Shiro's words, I can understand that you've gotten into big trouble."
"Of course, I don't know about your constitution and the state of your eyes, so I won't comment on that. However, what I can say is that hiring a professional to solve this really costs a lot, a lot of money."
Yukinoshita spoke calmly and in a gentle tone.
"As for the evil spirit you provoked, which Shiro mentioned, I won't comment. After all, a being that has existed for more than a thousand years, I don't understand it and haven't encountered it."
Yukinoshita hid nothing and answered honestly, because hiding things was not in her nature.
Yotsuya Miko had already heard about her from her friend and knew that such a person had no reason to lie. The people around them also seemed to have learned something after this.
"There's one more thing I didn't say: you're asking for my help, so you don't need to count a consultation fee."
"The fact that I'm willing to act should make you rejoice in secret."
Shiro looked confident and somewhat arrogant at this moment, making the girls wonder how high his "price" really was. Then they looked at the only person who understood the situation, Yukino Yukinoshita.
Yukinoshita remained silent at his words, showing nothing, but she clearly knew he was telling the truth. In this world, no profit could move this guy, so the fact that he was willing to act was indeed something to be happy about.
Yotsuya Miko somewhat understood what kind of person she had met today, but the second contract was too uncomfortable, so she hesitated for a moment. However, she quickly made a decision. Rather than resist and become something like a spirit, enslaved and forced to do bad things, it was better to choose Shiro in front of her. After all, no matter what, the other party was human, not a thousand-year-old demon.
"I choose the second."
Yotsuya Miko made her decision, and in the next moment Shiro made the parchment disappear.
"Good!"
"Deal."
Shiro's smile was quite radiant as he said this, and the others felt that the person in front of them had just sold herself. After all, she didn't look like someone rich, which meant that if she couldn't pay with money, she would have to pay with something else.
Yukinoshita clearly knew that the other party had fallen into a trap. She knew she couldn't help her.
After all, Shiro was not the type to help within limits, especially in the other party's situation. If he had the ability, he would definitely help for free, but he simply didn't leave the possibility for the other party not to come to him.
"Shiro, what should I do now, or how should I cooperate with you?"
Shiro fell into thought after hearing that, and the others thought he was thinking about a solution.
Yukinoshita felt completely speechless watching this scene. Why does this guy have to complicate things that can be solved with one sentence?
"Is it very difficult?"
Yotsuya Miko asked in a somewhat nervous tone, but she didn't expect the words that followed to leave her speechless.
"It's not difficult, it's very simple. I'm just thinking about how to make you feel that this transaction, that is, the reward you're giving, is truly worth it."
"After all, if I solve it immediately, you might think I'm scamming you or something, and that my price is very, very high. Then it would remain in your heart like a thorn, and that wouldn't be good. So I'm thinking about how to make you understand that what you're giving is truly worth it."
Shiro said this completely openly.
The people around him felt dizzy after this. So that was the problem he was thinking about. However, it had to be admitted that these words reminded them of something, that is, made them realize one thing: if Shiro solved the problem too easily, it would indeed be easy to think that everything was simple.
Such a way of doing things would make the paying person feel like they had lost a lot, which wasn't very good.
"All of you should clearly know what kind of person I am?"
"I'm not someone who likes to be an anonymous hero, or act regardless of cost and reward, only to be disgusted by people later."
"Not to mention, if I make this transaction too simple, what if the other party misunderstands something? Wouldn't that be bad?"
Just as Yotsuya Miko wanted to say something, Shiro spoke first.
"I'll first help you solve the problem of your Yin-Yang Eyes."
Yotsuya Miko swallowed the words she wanted to say, then became curious about how he would do it. The others were also curious what Shiro would do. They saw Shiro suddenly speak a sentence in a calm tone.
"You can freely control your eyes."
After Shiro said that, everyone was stunned. Was it really that simple?
Yukinoshita clearly knew it was already solved, because his ability to turn words into reality had no logic in this world.
Yotsuya Miko was different from the others. Some content appeared in her mind, and in the next moment she used it according to that knowledge. She discovered that her world had changed, and that those things had truly disappeared.
"You just said one sentence and solved everything? Are you sure you're not joking?"
May's tone was full of disbelief. Was he just joking or what?
"Shiro-kun, are you joking?"
Kato Megumi was also suspicious, because everything looked too unreal, how could anyone easily believe this?
And the other two, who also didn't understand, looked at Shiro, mainly they didn't want to question him, but the problem was… this was too unreasonable.
