142. Go to the Dark Road

Would you like to go there and take a look?

Yeah!

No way!

Awakener, you are in an awkward position.

How can you be led by the nose all the time?!

You just don't want to spend any money, do you?

That's one of the reasons.

Now, make your choice!

I choose Dark Road.

Me or Vedfolnir, the old lady?

I choose Dark Road.

It's indeed a difficult choice for you to make.

No... I mean... it's Dark Road...

Don't forget to ask for a refund if you leave...

It's your first day here. We agreed to a week before!

Then I'll make up for you... after I go to Dark Road.

That's not what I meant. According to the contract I signed with Fenriru and Aiken, anyone who breaks the contract shall pay a ten-times penalty.

Well, make them pay the penalty then.

That is my wish as well. But they chose to pay ten times the human labor.

That is to say, to make up for the six-day delay, you've got to compensate me with sixty days of massage services.

Ahh...

Hey, how come you passed out?! Hey!

Where am I... now?

I'm in my car and on my way to Dark Road.

Huh? How did you manage to convince Panther, given how stingy she is with her money...?

I don't have to compensate her with sixty days of massage, do I?

I hear you...

Agh!

I follow you through just in case you run away.

This way, your work won't be delayed. How do you like the arrangement?

But how about your work? A busy person like you.

So... you know about it...

I'm just here to check if everything is all right. Now I will go back.

Dark Road is a very dangerous place after all.

Oh... oh... I see.

Ahem! You two. No PDA in my car, alright?

Tsk, don't mess around with me!
