Reversing fate from the signing of the contract

"Aren't you human?"

"Didn't you decide to establish a mercenary guild here as an outpost because you discovered our village?!"

Both Lan Xing and Ram looked at each other in surprise.

The smart Ram guessed the cause and effect almost instantly. It seems that everything is a coincidence?

But even if it is a coincidence, I have already exposed the location of the village, I am afraid that other humans will soon...

Seeing Ram's constantly changing expression, Lanxing probably knew that the other party was imagining something weird again. He returned to the desk under Rem's puzzled eyes and opened a drawer to take out a piece of paper.

"Crack~"

The paper shook slightly with Blue Star, and a line of words appeared on the original white paper, and he put it in front of Ram.

"Since I am going to open a store, there is also a 'contract' in the store. If you are worried about me revealing any secrets, then let's sign a contract."

There are Chinese characters on the contract, but just as he can communicate with people in any world without barriers, the words on this contract can be understood by people from different worlds.

There is nothing too complicated about the contract.

The top part is the content of the contract, and the bottom part is where both parties to the contract sign. However, the difference is that the column of 'remuneration of the entrusting party' is still blank.

"What reward do you want? Sure enough, you still treat us..."

Seeing Ram clenching his collar and his unconsciously alert gaze, Lan Xing sighed helplessly while raising his right hand.

Seeing the 'hand knife' raised by Lan Xing, Ram almost reflexively covered his head with both hands, but after waiting for a while, he found that the expected pain did not appear, so Ram carefully opened his eyes and took a peek at Lan Xing .

But she found a finger stuck in front of her face.

"Bang~"

"Woo~!!"

Ram's forehead was red after eating a brain melon, and she stared at Lan Xing 'viciously' with almost tears in her eyes, but Lan Xing was not moved at all.

"Although it is commendable for children to be vigilant outside, I will always be angry when people say this. I am not a pervert who will attack children..."

Blue Star did like children, but he didn't like bratty kids, so for Ram who repeatedly slandered him, Blue Star also punished Ram with a 'crazy brain'.

Lan Xing, who temporarily revealed the matter, then squatted down.

"I have no contact with races other than humans, so I am a little curious, can you let me see your prototype? This is my reward for keeping you secret, how?"

Although his forehead hurt a little, Lan Xing's words still attracted Ram's attention.

prototype?Do you mean your own horn?

Lan Xing, who had no idea what happened, just felt that the girl in front of her seemed a little... lost?

Chapter 19 Don't Touch! !

Regarding the so-called 'contract', Ram and Rem didn't really believe it at first. After all, everyone in the village had instilled in them the view of 'human beings are despicable, shameless and treacherous' more than once.

But when Ram took over the contract from Lan Xing, she was keenly aware that the contract in her hand was not as simple as a piece of paper.

She seemed to feel the huge magic power from this simple contract. Although there was no evidence, the magic power in her body kept reminding her that once she signed the contract, she would be punished by the contract if she violated it.

Until then, Ram finally began to believe what Lan Xing said.

In the end, under the expectant eyes of Blue Star, the two parties completed the contract.

Of course, the so-called completion of the contract is not a complicated matter, it is just that both parties sign their names on the contract.

And Lan Xing couldn't help showing a curious expression when he looked at the names of the two on the contract.

'Ram and Rem? '

They couldn't help but glanced at the two sisters beside them, and Rem and Ram unconsciously glanced at Lanxing, because they could feel a strange connection with Lanxing after the signing of the contract.

This kind of mysterious and mysterious connection made them get closer to Lan Xing unconsciously.

"I will fulfill the requirements of the contract 'never tell anyone else about your village', so you should also pay the 'commissioning fee'?"

I don't know if it's because there is no magic power in his body, or because as the owner of the 'firm', Lan Xing didn't feel any strange feeling, he was just trying to gain the trust of the two sisters in this way, and Trying to save your own 'life (in the social sense)'.

Now it seems that the effect is good, so he simply proposed to charge his own 'remuneration'.

Strictly speaking, neither party was at fault in the nudity incident (although wearing a bath towel), after all, Lan Xing did not know the operating mechanism of the 'Gate of Destiny', so he did not expect that someone would suddenly break in, and Lei Mu also didn't expect that people would suddenly appear in the hut where he used to collect ingredients.

A series of accidents led to the final 'Blue Star's Tragedy'.

It can be said that both Blue Star and Rem are victims of this 'tragedy'.

But the problem is that Rem looks like a child of about 10 years old at most, but Lan Xing is an adult with full criminal capacity. No matter how you look at it, the problem is on his side when this kind of thing happens.

So Blue Star tried to save everything.

Whether it's gaining favorability (approaching the two with the experience of playing wild cats), or pulling in the relationship between the two parties (signing a contract), the purpose is to keep them from telling what happened just now.

Now it seems that the effect is quite good, at least at this time, both Rem and Ram have temporarily forgotten what happened to him.

Remuneration is now required to establish equal status for both parties.

This is one of the 'social skills' he has mastered during the previous year's working life.

Of course, he does have some interest in 'non-human races'.

Although he didn't intend to hurt the two girls in front of him, it didn't prevent him from learning more about the so-called 'ghost clan'. After all, who knows if he will encounter ghost clan during his future missions?

Lan Xing looked full of anticipation, but actually experienced several small theaters in his heart.

But the two girls standing in front of him obviously didn't know what Lan Xing was thinking, they had no contact with any outsiders except the people in the village, after Lan Xing initially gained their trust, The relationship between the two parties has improved a lot in an instant. In order to protect the secrets of the village, they also made up their minds to sign a 'contract' with Blue Star.

Naturally, there will be no hesitation now, but—————

'I just wanted to use magic but couldn't, can I do it now? '

With such doubts, Ram began to try to manipulate the magic power in his body.

This time, it was no longer like when she tried to attack Lan Xing before, everything went nowhere. With her movements, the magic power gradually condensed into a small horn on her head.

Feeling the smooth operation of the magic power in his body, Ram couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. After all, because he couldn't control the magic power before, the feeling of being lifted by the back of the neck like a pet by Lan Xing was too desperate.

But the strange thing is that at this time she has no idea of ​​running away, and she doesn't know if it's because Lan Xing really gained their trust, or because of the 'contract'.

But maybe because he felt that Lan Xing couldn't understand it, Lahm also followed the example of the teachers in the school and explained to Lan Xing.

"The horn of the ghost clan is the source of power of the ghost clan. Although there is a lot of magic power in the body, it is precisely because the magic power is too huge that it cannot be easily mobilized, so it needs to be manipulated with the help of the horn on the top of the head..."

But while explaining to Lan Xing, Ram also skipped some important things. For example, the horn on the top of the head is not only the source of strength of the ghost clan, but also the biggest weakness of the ghost clan. Once the horn is broken, it means that it can no longer be easily mobilized The magic inside.

And Lan Xing couldn't help but feel a little strange looking at the small horns on the opponent's head emitting a faint light, because in fact, similar changes would occur when he was "ghost-humanizing".

But after he turned into a ghost, he had two horns on his forehead.

Lan Xing, who couldn't help being curious, also slowly stretched out his right hand towards the other party, but Ram, who had already entered the state of preaching, didn't notice that Lan Xing was explaining to Lan Xing about ghosts and humans with a serious face. The difference, but at this moment—————

"Ah~!!"

Accompanied by an extremely sharp cry, no matter it was Lan Xing, Rem or Ram, they all froze for a moment.

Lan Xing didn't expect that he would make such a big fuss just by touching the corner of the other party, while Rem looked at Lan Xing in shock, as if he couldn't understand why Lan Xing would do such a thing. Ram covered his forehead with his face flushed and stared fiercely at Lan Xing.

"what are you doing?!"

Seeing Ram's widened eyes, Lan Xing instantly realized that he seemed to have done something wrong just now.

"I'm careless, I thought I could lick my neck just like stroking a cat..."

"Feel sorry!!"

Lan Xing, who knew that he had done something wrong, did not give any explanation but apologized decisively, because he knew that explaining at this time was meaningless and would only make the other party more angry.

There is no doubt that Blue Star's attitude of admitting his mistakes is good, but Lahm obviously does not calm down so easily.

"Of course you can't touch it! For ghosts, horns are the most important place! How can you touch them at will?"

Seeing Ram's angry expression, Lan Xing finally realized that he seemed to have done something very troublesome...

Chapter 20 Blue Star, how about I touch my 'horn' for you

Seeing Lahm's angry expression as if he would bite someone at any time, Lan Xing looked a little embarrassed, because he felt as if his previous efforts to increase his favorability were in vain.

But he still tried to save it...

"How about I touch my horn for you too?"

'Pfft~! '

I don't know if it was Lan Xing's illusion, he seemed to see steam coming out of Rem's head standing aside?

Even Ram looked at his sister with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with her?

But Rem was the only one who kept shaking her head with a blushing face.

Unlike her sister who was born with strong magic power, after realizing that she would never be able to surpass her sister in magic power, Rem began to work hard in other areas, including but not limited to helping her mother cook and clean the house.

During this period, she once found some strange picture books at home...

Although the paintings in these picture books are very abstract, Rem always felt weird when flipping through them, and finally put them back in their original place without telling anyone. I can't help but think about it.

When she was stared at by Lan Xing and Ram, she didn't know why she felt blushed, and quickly waved her hands to indicate that she was fine.

Although he didn't know what happened, Blue Star was still very grateful to Rem. After all, Rem's sudden and weird behavior did attract Ram's attention, and Blue Star also took the opportunity to express his sincerity with actions.

'Ghostly'

Hunting Soul behind him felt a burning sensation, and at the same time, the bright red aura began to spread from his heart to his limbs.

Soon this blood energy covered Lan Xing's whole body, and at the same time, two horn-like protrusions condensed on his forehead.

Rem, who didn't expect Lan Si to change so much, was unconsciously stunned when he saw the horns on Lan Xing's head, and then realized that he had just lost his mind. She was a little shy but also a little thankful, after all, no one Know what you are thinking.

But other than that, she was more envious.

And Ram was even more shocked and speechless. She looked at the two small horns condensed by the blood on Lan Xing's head with surprise, and opened her mouth for a while, not knowing what to say.

And Blue Star also strikes while the iron is hot and repeats it again.

"I'm sorry, because it's the first time I've seen the ghost clan, so I don't know the customs of the ghost clan, so I did something rude, as an apology, how about you touch my horn too?"

In order to show his sincerity, Lan Xing even squatted down and put his head in front of the opponent.

'puff! '

But at this moment, I don't know if it was Lan Xing's illusion, it seemed that there was a strange voice coming from Ram, but it was a pity that he couldn't see Ram's face because he lowered his head.

Could it be said that this is also the special ability of the ghost race?Steam Queen?

Lan Xing couldn't help having a strange guess, but at this moment Ram's trembling voice suddenly came.

"Idiot...horns...how can you mess around?! This is the most important thing of the ghost clan!!"

"Is that so? But I don't care. If you can calm your anger, please touch it."

Lan Xing apologized sincerely. After all, he is not a ghost, but Lahm can't be as calm as Lan Xing. After all, as she said, the "horns" of ghosts are very important.

It is both a symbol of strength and its greatest weakness.

Generally speaking, except for the closest people, no one is allowed to touch one's own horns. Even in the traditional wedding of the ghost clan, there is an expression of unreserved trust in each other by touching each other's horns.

In addition, it is only when showing submission, just like animals in the natural world, for example, cats will show their submission by showing their stomachs.

Lan Xing's performance is naturally not surrender, so doesn't it mean...

"Got it! Got it!! Take it away! I forgive you!!"

Ram, who was too shy, did not touch Lan Xing's horn in the end, but at least she had confirmed that Lan Xing did not have any malicious intentions, after all, even the horn was exposed without reservation.

In other words...the other party is an idiot?

Ram couldn't help but glanced at the relieved Lan Xing, feeling a little complicated.

Although she is an idiot, she is so powerful, at least she has never even heard of the ability that makes her unable to manipulate the magic power in her body silently.

Do you want to tell the village head about the other party?

After hesitating for a moment, Ram decided to conceal the existence of Blue Star.

Not only because he didn't like the village chief, but also because she hoped to prepare a way out for her younger sister.

Unlike myself who is a unicorn but is born with powerful magic power, my sister's magic power is very lacking. Now that she is still young, everyone just speaks ill of her behind her back, or engages in cold violence through exclusion. Perhaps the only people who really care about her are Outside of myself, there are only my parents.
