Crossover anime, a daily life that begins with hunting supernatural beings.

"It can reduce the wearer's presence in the eyes of spirits, making it easy for passing spirits to ignore the wearer's existence."

"These sandalwood beads are even more extraordinary; they were made after being offered to the statue of a deity for ten years."

"Because of this, the rosary is imbued with divine power, and before the wearer is about to suffer supernatural harm, it will spontaneously trigger a personal protective barrier to protect the wearer."

"Once the barrier is triggered, it can absorb the free spiritual energy in the air and the essence of the sun and moon and transform it into divine power. It also absorbs the [qi] that the user has freed into the air in their daily life to ensure normal operation."

"The only corresponding thing is that the user's appetite will be slightly larger."

The bartender rattled on and on like a machine gun, listing all the advantages of the product. He earnestly introduced the good stuff he had finally managed to get his hands on to Sakurai.

"It's absolutely worth the price; everyone who bought it says they got a great deal."

"The price is a little hard to define."

"As you know, these kinds of items are priceless and unavailable."

The bartender, whose smile was so endearing it was almost as if he wanted to cling to Sakurai's leg.

"Look at you, look at you, I'm definitely easy to talk to, Brother Sakurai, just give me whatever you think is appropriate."

He rubbed his fingers together, his eyes squinting as he glanced at the bartender on the table from time to time. He looked like the epitome of a despicable villain.

"All the items left on the table are yours. If that's not enough, I'll give you some more later."

Sakurai originally only planned to change one set of props, but on a whim, he decided to prepare and buy an extra set.

I wonder if the leftovers on this table are enough.

"No problem, we'd be happy to give Sakurai-kun that kind of face."

"The rosary beads now belong to you, Sakurai-kun."

The bartender's face was beaming with joy.

Looking at the bartender, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but think of the smug look on a weasel's face after stealing a chicken.

"That..."

"What exactly was it that you mentioned asking about earlier?"

With the deal settled, the cheerful bartender began discussing the second transaction.

"It's very simple."

"What's the deal with those extra guys in Changshi lately? I don't believe you, a guy who only acts for personal gain, don't have any information about this."

Sakurai tapped the table, took a sip of milk, and squinted slightly.

"Of course, it's nothing. In fact, Sakurai is really giving me a lot of face."

"This news is basically an open secret, so consider it a bonus."

"I'll organize the message and send it to your email later."

"How about this, as a small gift for our long-term cooperation, we'll transfer another million to you."

"Let's settle the accounts later, otherwise we won't feel at ease taking care of these leftovers."

"Hey Sakurai, if you think our service was good, please consider us first next time you need something to buy."

After some consideration, the bartender gave out some other insignificant freebies.

"New, I have no objection."

"Then... the deal is done."

The bartender, bowing and scraping, spoke in a tone sweeter than honey.

The bartender, his eyes practically glued to the remnants on the table, was practically patting his chest to assure everyone there was no problem.

"The deal is done, and the money and goods are settled."

Drink the milk all at once.

Sakurai stopped Yotsuya Miko, who was reaching into her clothes to take something out, and pulled her to her feet.

"Take care, sir. Come visit again when you have time."

With a warm bow and wave, the bartender practically rushed over to hug Sakurai and kiss him on the lips.

"You shrewd businessman, thanks."

After saying this, Sakurai walked steadily away from the izakaya tucked away in the alley, watched by the enthusiastic but unscrupulous merchant.

Having abandoned her original plans, Yotsuya Miko immediately followed suit.

......

"Food-related items are special; never let anyone know you have them."

“That unscrupulous businessman is no good. Even if I brought you here, he could easily set his sights on you.”

"You are too weak now, and I hope you remember the principle of not flaunting your wealth."

After walking a distance, Sakurai stopped and spoke.

"Yes, boss."

Yotsuya Miko, who had originally planned to use this relic to exchange for a tool for self-defense, was somewhat disappointed.

If she misses this opportunity, when will she ever be able to stop caring about the existence of bad things?

"You can take off your mask now."

"There's no need to wear it now."

Following Sakurai's instructions, she removed her mask, revealing a face that looked easy to bully. The mask turned into golden light and disappeared in Yotsuya Miko's hand, eventually forming a white chibi Samoyed on the back of her hand that required close inspection to notice.

"The mask will automatically appear when you need it, and once you put it on, no one will know your true face."

"Remember to wear it at all times when you're on a mission."

As he said this, Sakurai casually tossed one of the rosary beads to Yotsuya Miko.

He subconsciously licked his lips; he suddenly had a craving for udon noodles.

"Boss, this must be very expensive."

With a gurgling sound, Yotsuya Mikoto, who had caught the rosary, was startled and looked at Sakurai helplessly, unsure whether to return the rosary to Sakurai or not.

Just kidding...

The 100w was just a freebie in the recent transaction.

She had never seen such a large sum of money in her entire life; it was far too expensive.

She couldn't afford this rosary even if she sold herself. It's a shame she was feeling the pinch this afternoon because of the few thousand yen it cost. Now that she thinks about it, Yotsuya Miko realizes how ignorant she was.

Is the mystical world really this extravagant?

She's still too ignorant.

I can't believe a rosary can cost so much!

Also, the boss just gave her such expensive prayer beads like that?

My boss probably has something on his mind about me.

Impossible, impossible. A ruthless person like the boss wouldn't even look at me.

She slapped herself twice in her inner world, telling herself not to be delusional.

It's so embarrassing.

35. Early year-end bonus

"I don't know, I can't be bothered with such things."

"As long as I get it, that's fine."

Sakurai glanced at Yotsuya Miko, who was lost in thought, and licked his lips again.

"I'm very tired right now and I don't want to keep making excuses to you."

"Since I've given it to you, just accept it."

"Consider it an early year-end bonus."

"I don't want to find a second assistant; one is already troublesome enough."

"So, at least live to see the end of the year, understand?"

With a blank expression, Sakurai continued walking, carrying a shoulder bag in one hand.

I knew it! There's no way the boss would ever be interested in a pitiful, helpless ordinary girl like me.

You're overthinking it.

Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced behind me and saw that the dark door that had been there just moments before was nowhere to be seen, leaving only the old and rotten walls in the dark alley.

It feels like one of those ghost story agencies where random passersby accidentally wander into and trade souls.

I actually wanted to make a deal with that boss?

Is it because the boss is right next to us?

It's still far too unstable!

He couldn't help but shudder at the thought of all sorts of bizarre ways he might die after making the trade.

Startled by her own thought process, Yotsuya Miko felt as if some kind of gaze was secretly watching her.

Boss, wait for me!!!

I'd be really scared to be left here alone.

Tears welled up in Miko's eyes from fright, and she quickly ran to catch up with Sakurai, who had already walked some distance.

With Sakurai deliberately slowing down, Yotsuya Miko managed to catch up with him by jogging.

"If you find any of the lost items yourself in the future, you can sell them here."
