The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"But, it's not too late to talk about those things after they happen. You should live here for a while and adjust your mood."

"Do I need to do anything to prepare?"

"If you think you can do something that will make you feel more at ease, then do it."

After a brief exchange with Huang Yayin, Aarons also understood his current situation.

He had missed the start of the play - if he wanted to go on stage, he would have to wait until the next act officially began.

During this time, he must first prepare to go on stage.

"Oh, right, this thing - it should be similar to the one in your world. It can be used as an identity document and daily necessity in this city."

As if suddenly remembering something important, Huang Yayin took out a small machine that looked familiar to Aarons from his trouser pocket.

The very familiar full screen and the slightly heavy feel made Aarons roll his eyes as he suddenly recalled his past life.

——Isn’t this a mobile phone!

"Because there is no matching information network, this thing can only be used as an identity proof. Without this thing, you can't enter many places that require identity verification."

"Hmm...are these the only functions?"

"After all, it is not a creation of this world's civilization, so the Magician Guild cannot figure out the operating principle of it. Now they can only imitate something that is similar in appearance."

He thought he could live a convenient life in the other world, but it turned out to be just a false alarm - Aarons curled his lips in disappointment, and then stuffed the thing that looked like a "cell phone" into his trouser pocket.

But when did Huang Yayin make these preparations?

"We came here after we left your place, and returned after everything was arranged here. As for why we came here in advance, I'll tell you when I have the chance."

Huang Yayin and Yexiao seemed to have obtained a lot of extra information a long time ago, and their perspectives were probably much higher than others.

But they didn't want to explain this matter now, so Aarons was tactful and didn't ask any further questions.

"Okay, go back and solve your own problem. But I'll just remind you one thing - it doesn't matter if you want to stay or get rid of that little girl, but before you make a decision, it's best to listen to her thoughts first."

"…It would be great if she could just leave obediently."

Huang Yayin didn't seem to be very interested in this matter, so she just smiled without commenting.

Aarons no longer thought about those complicated issues at this time - after all, he had just begun to adapt to this new body, and then he had to get familiar with the new environment as soon as possible.

So before that, I must solve the troublesome problem first.

……

"Sorry, the conversation took a little too long."

After returning to his room, Aarons saw Night Owl smoking against the kitchen window and waving at him.

This woman, who is very simple in both appearance and habits, gives people the feeling that "if you don't pay special attention to her, you will soon be forgotten."

Considering that she had been doing espionage work before, this trait might also be a disguise.

"Are you done talking? Then quickly settle things here."

“This way…”

Following the direction pointed by Night Owl's finger, Aarons saw Mo Qianyun sitting at the dining table and meditating.

Why did this female swordsman, who had served Aarons Moti with absolute loyalty in the past, still choose to follow him after knowing that he was not that person?

Did she really think about these things, or did she just make decisions based on instinct and impulse?

"Ahem...um, can I bother you for a moment, Miss Mo Qianyun?"

In order to avoid emotional interference as much as possible, Aarons even used a businesslike tone to speak to Mo Qianyun.

Although he didn't know what Mo Qianyun would say, he had already made up his mind - as long as Mo Qianyun mentioned things like the master-servant relationship, he would take the initiative to sever this relationship and free both parties from the wrong constraints.

He is not Aarons Morty and doesn’t want to play that role anymore.

"Yes, what can I do for you?"

"It's true... I have to discuss an important issue with you now."

As Aarons spoke, he sat down on the other side of the table - and at this moment he noticed a very subtle detail.

Mo Qianyun did not stand up and greet him respectfully as he did in the past. Instead, he remained calm and sat at the dining table, even looking directly at his face without any scruples.

"Please go ahead."

"Then I'll be frank - I don't want you to follow me like Aarons Morty. Although I'm temporarily borrowing his name now, it doesn't mean that I will treat you like him."

In order to prevent Mo Qianyun from being disturbed by his emotions, Aarons deliberately spoke in a very unpleasant way.

It’s not that he has no attachment to the past, but he doesn’t want his true self to disappoint the other person - instead of regretting it in the future, it’s better to go their separate ways now.

It would certainly be very painful... but Aarons had long been accustomed to it.

"So, please don't treat me as your master... I don't intend to continue to deceive you, but I won't reciprocate your feelings for that person. Do you understand?"

"I...understand."

Mo Qianyun lowered his head slightly, seeming to be saddened by Aarons' words.

But before Aarons could figure out how to persuade her to give up on him, Mo Qianyun suddenly raised his head again and looked at him.

——And a determined expression appeared on that beautiful and stern face at this moment.

"The master I served in the past is dead...so now I am just a homeless mercenary."

"Ah... yes, that's about it?"

"If I want to survive in this place, I must find a suitable job. But I don't have any proof of my ability, nor do I have a formal identity that can be recognized by others."

To Aarons' surprise, Mo Qianyun, who had almost never expressed himself in the past, now spoke his thoughts in an orderly and unhesitating manner.

"So if I don't want to live on the streets, the only thing I can do is to find a suitable job immediately—"

Having said that, Mo Qianyun suddenly stood up from his seat and bowed deeply to Aarons, who had not yet recovered from his shock.

"I have learned a lot in the past, and I am capable of doing housework, clerical work, and security tasks! So I hope you can hire me to work for you, Mr. Aarons Zhou!"

"——Huh? No? What's going on? Hey, this... isn't right! How can you have this trick?!"

"If you feel uneasy, you can sign a formal employment contract with me! In addition, I have no requirements for salary, and providing food and accommodation is enough!"

When Aarons was at a loss for what to do because of the unexpected response, a "puff" of laughter suddenly came from the kitchen - and Huang Yayin, who had just walked into the room, also showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Well, it seems like we don't have to worry too much... Little guy, have you already recruited new employees before your new company opens?"

"I'm not planning on starting a business! So I don't need anything... Damn it! I really need it!"

Aarons knew very well that what he could do alone was still very limited. So if he could find someone willing to cooperate with him, he would never let go easily.

Therefore, he could not find any reason to reject Mo Qianyun's request - not only did she not intend to dwell on the past, she also planned to sign a new employment agreement with him now... The most important thing was that he could not find someone more capable than her at the moment!

And even if I make up my mind to reject her and kick her out now... with this girl's overly straightforwardness, she will definitely start coming to me every day to apply for a job tomorrow!

"...Okay, I'll ask you one last time."

Although Aarons had not expected such a development, he did not want to easily deny the awareness of others - since Mo Qianyun had decided to abandon the past karma and re-establish a new connection with him, he must also give an equal response.

It is precisely because I don’t care too much about the past that I can get up from failure again and again and move forward.

——And it’s the same this time.

"I am not the Aarons Moti you know, and I will not treat you the same way as he does from now on. So, knowing this premise, do you still want to accept an unsecured employment agreement and become my follower and subordinate?"

"The moment I raised the knife to my former companion, I was ready."

For some reason, Aarons felt at this moment that some hard and dark place in his heart seemed to be touched by something.

But that feeling disappeared completely in an instant, and no trace of it could be found anymore.

"Then I have no reason to refuse."
