"Ha~!"
Accompanied by a yawn as he woke up, Kokot stretched.
She blinked and looked at the contract handed over to her.
"?"
Kokot was still a little sleepy, so he raised his head and looked at the person in front of him with a confused expression.
Tall figure and beautiful hair.
It's a woman.
If Kokot remembers correctly, Victor said he had a sister.
Their smells are very similar, so it should be the person in front of me...
"You are Li..."
"Kokot Yade, did you admit your mistake?"
Liya spoke first with a smile on her face, which left Kokot in a daze.
Liya pointed to the contract and said:
"You just need to sign your name here."
With that said, Liya took out a pen and handed it to Kokot.
Kokot took the contract in a daze, looked at the words on it, suddenly became more awake, and sat up:
"Working in the Cravenna family, eight hours a day...with weekends off...including food and accommodation..."
After reading this, Kokot's hands couldn't stop shaking.
"This... this... this, this isn't right!"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Liya looked at the contract with some confusion. This was already the condition for the lowest-level workers in the Cravena family.
She looked at Kokot and said as if she had a sudden realization:
"Oh, I understand what you mean."
Kokot breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but saw Liya changing a contract and handing it to her.
It’s written very clearly on black paper and white characters:
Closed throughout the day, but if trouble arises in the Cravenna household, a signer is required to resolve the trouble.
"This is relatively free."
"Victor said that you are a fourth-level mage and a former congressman. Sure enough, this job is more suitable for you."
Kokot was a little crazy.
"No, no, no! Why do I have to work? I obviously just need to sleep?"
Liya still had the same smiling expression.
"Ang, Victor said, our Cravenna family doesn't raise idlers."
"Of course, you don't have to sign it."
Kokot suddenly saw hope coming.
But she suddenly saw Liya's slightly unkind smile, and an unpleasant feeling arose in her heart.
"Victor said that if you don't sign, he will tell your tribe about your whereabouts."
"Ah, after all, I don't understand these things very well. I'm just a messenger."
At this moment, Liya's smile penetrated people's hearts like a demon in Kokot's eyes.
"So, three choices, which one do you choose?"
Kokot raised her head and slowly closed her eyes, letting tears flow down her cheeks.
These are tears called 'sad'.
It's the tears called 'grievance'.
If she could choose again, even if she slept in Endymion's magic turbulence, she would never choose to run to Victor's mansion.
He's an asshole!
Kokot opened his eyes, and a few crystal drops still stayed in the corners of his eyes.
Since you can't resist, you might as well obey.
"The first one looks very tiring, I'll choose the second one!"
"real?"
Leah smiled even wider.
"real!"
Kokot nodded with confidence.
Liya then asked Kokot to sign her name on the second contract.
This contract has magic restrictions, and Victor should have attached some magic to it.
After all, only the magic power of a fourth-level mage can restrict the existence of a fourth-level mage.
After Koko signed the contract, he put the pen in Liya's hand, and then fell into the clouds.
"I've finished signing. I guess... there's nothing wrong with me."
She clearly remembered that the contract said she could rest throughout the day, unless there was any trouble that required her to go to work.
Uh...as long as something happens?
Kokot suddenly discovered something.
If there is something happening every day.
Then doesn’t she have to go to work every day?
"It's over."
Kokot could no longer regret it. Her name had been signed on the contract, and she recalled the text trap she had fallen into with great annoyance.
Liya smiled at her and said:
"Then, get ready for your first day of work."
.......
The carriage drove slowly to Duke Levi's mansion.
Kokot sat on a cloud and dozed off.
When the servant saw someone coming, he hurried towards the mansion to report it.
Soon, Duke Levi appeared in front of the mansion's gate.
When he saw Kokot, he was slightly startled.
"Congressman Yard?"
Kokot covered his mouth, yawned, and glanced at Duke Levi:
"Oh, it's you."
When he was a councilor, Kokot didn't meet many other mages.
But Duke Levi was one of the few in her memory.
He once went to the Magic City and learned some powerful magic to bring back to the empire.
But those Kokot have no impression.
She said rather resentfully:
"Don't call me by this title, I'm no longer a member of Parliament."
"Oh I see."
Duke Levi nodded towards her, already understanding in his heart.
Victor became the new member of parliament, but it was naturally impossible for the Mages Council to break the rules just for Victor alone.
There will definitely be a victim who will be removed as a member of Parliament.
Right now, Kokot is the one who is being sacrificed.
But even though she is no longer a congressman, as a former congressman, she is still a powerful fourth-level mage.
The necessary respect is naturally required.
But this combination, to be honest, makes Duke Levi feel a little strange.
Victor's sister came to his house with a former congressman...
It's a bit weird no matter how you think about it.
"Duke Levi, I'm here to help you."
Liya said.
Previously, Duke Levi was prepared to use his own power to help her get out of trouble.
Of course, this matter was actually settled after Victor came forward.
So Duke Levi didn't help Liya.
but......
Before Victor came back, Duke Levi finally stepped forward.
Even if she doesn't really help anything, Liya still has to carry on this love.
The Duke was a little moved when he saw Liya coming from afar, and he knew very well that he had done almost nothing.
But he won't be pretentious. It's a good thing that the other party can help him.
"Miss Liya, I have remembered your kindness."
Kokot looked at the two of them, confused.
She didn't know what the two people were talking about, so she could only lie quietly on the clouds and listen to the two people saying hello and communicating.
Soon, under the leadership of the Duke, Kokot and Liya entered a room.
As soon as he opened the door, the natural breath rushed into Kokot's nose.
"here it is....."
"My daughter, Erica's room."
Duke Levi answered Cocotte's doubts.
As soon as Kokot entered the room, what he saw was a delicate and beautiful little blonde girl, lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully.
But the strange thing is,
There were vines and flowers growing on her body, and the plants even spread out and coiled around the floor and walls.
The whole room seemed to be surrounded by flowers and wild grass.
A flower on the body is still fluttering its petals, as if it is breathing.
The warm sunshine shone in the room and covered Erica's body.
Kokot's eyes lit up.
With such rich natural energy, it would be delicious to sleep in this room.
But she is still a responsible elf. She knows that it is her working time and she cannot be lazy.
Even if I'm terribly sleepy, I can't really lie here.
"My daughter became like this a few days ago."
"Strange plants grew on his body and he fell into a coma."
Levi frowned, worry evident in his words.
He had been looking for doctors all over the capital these days, but every doctor came and said there was nothing wrong with Erica.
Even with magic checks, she was in a very saturated state.
Liya looked at Erica growing flowers and nodded.
In this situation, there is no need to explain how a normal person could have flowers growing on his body.
So she took out a bottle of red potion from her bag.
When she was interrogating Chuul, she asked Victor for five bottles, but none of them were used.
These five bottles of recovery potions remained.
"Duke, give this to Erica and try it."
Duke Levi took the potion.
He naturally knows the magic of this little red bottle. Rather, this is what he came for.
The Duke could only place his hope on this bottle of potion.
He stepped across the flower bed, lifted Erica up, and slowly poured the red potion into Erica's mouth.
After doing all this, everyone looked at Erica.
But the expected recovery did not occur.
"Um?"
Liya looked at Erica blankly, unable to believe the scene in front of her.
Instead, the potion made Erica's life energy more vigorous, and she even had more flowers on her body.
"It actually...has no effect?"
Even the universal potion made by Victor has no effect... What else can cure Erica?
Duke Levi was a little desperate, but he couldn't show it.
Liya was thinking slightly and felt a little strange.
"Is it possible that this isn't a disease?"
She completely saw the magic of the potion.
Even a person who is about to die after taking poison can bring his life back.
If even the potion has no effect, I'm afraid, this kind of flowers will grow on Erica's body...
Seems harmless?
But Liya is not an expert, she just has such a guess.
At this time, Kokot looked at the wildly growing flowerbed next to Erica with some surprise.
"What a rich life force. What did you feed her just now?"
Liya reacted suddenly.
Yes, she doesn't understand this, but isn't there a ready-made fourth-level mage beside her?
"Koko, your work begins."
"Eh?"
The Elf of the Abandoned House was a little puzzled, after all, even she herself didn’t understand what kind of symptom this was.
Duke Levi also looked at Kokot expectantly.
"Yadyi...Miss, please help Erica."
"Wow, stop talking, I'll help! I'll help you!"
After all, as a former congressman, Kokot has a high moral sense.
She couldn't do such a desperate thing.
Most of the magic that Koko has learned is natural magic, which can give some powerful and lasting benefits to his companions and himself.
So she sat on the clouds and floated in front of Erica.
Under the expectant gazes of the two people, she mobilized the natural energy in her body to construct a magic circle in the air.
This is a relatively simple magic detection, mainly used to check the energy structure of these strange flowers.
Soon, Kokot's face gradually became a little heavy.
Finally, she put away her magic, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and slowly said three words:
"Druga?"
