“Excuse me, but I have a question.”

“Yes, you can ask me anything.”

Lee Jehee showed a nice attitude and seems to carefully listen to what I said. 

But do you do business only for a day or two? In the beginning, a person who has a good smile is also a good scammer. 

“Even if the contract you took out as if waiting for it had a name written on it that I had never written—what is it?” 

“As you can see, it’s an exclusive supporter contract.” 

“Isn’t it a contract for a slave?”

“You’re saying something funny. How can this be a slave contract?”

“….”

Is this funny? When I don’t even know? I checked the contract carefully once again, wondering if it was because of what he said. 

Lee Jeehee said in a friendly voice with a smile when he saw me just staring at the contract without saying a word. 

“I don’t think the content will change if you keep reading it. There is no way Yeon Seonwoo’s choice will change. I don’t know why you keep wasting time.” 

You bastard. Stop threatening me with a smile. That doesn’t mean I can easily step down. 

“No, that’s not it—. Here, the contract period is too unclear. My requirements aren’t even included.”

When I carefully pointed out the part where the contract period was specified, Lee Jehee looked at me with a pretty face and smiled again. I felt like my eyes were getting cool with the bright smile on his handsome face, but when I was distracted by such a thing, I opened my eyes wide because I thought I would have a nosebleed. 

Lee Jehee, who smiled at the open eyes, opened his mouth calmly.

“What you requested will be included in the special agreement. And I don’t think there’s a problem with the contract period, well I don’t know the reason.” 

What do you mean you don’t know? I saw you looking at me with a pretty face when I was talking about the previous period. 

“I’m in a non-fighting field, so I don’t want to be in the guild for a long time. There are things I do separately, and it’s a burden because it’s a job that doesn’t help much to go out in the dungeon. So I’d like to belong to the guild only during my time as an exclusive supporter.” 

At that, Lee Jehee calmly closed his eyes with a smile on his face. I was nervous because I couldn’t read what he was trying to do just by looking at him. 

After staring at him for a long time, Lee Jehee opened his mouth again. The answer is always a little slow. Then he answered right away. 

“Okay. Then, let’s specify the period of time as an exclusive supporter, and the period of guild membership will follow. How long do you want?” 

“Me? About a month?”

One month was a long period of time. Lee Jehee, on the other hand, opened his mouth again, ignoring it as if he had heard some kind of nonsense.

“If there is a time period you are thinking about, please tell me.”

But I just said it though? I want a month!

I looked at him grumpily as he pretended he hadn’t heard it. Yeah, I’m being generous.

“Then, 2 months?”

When I opened my two fingers brightly, his face that had been pretending to be smiling was finally broken. The man, who had gradually lost his expression, returned to his face that everything was irritating and talked indifferently.

“I think I already said that I don’t like to talk too long. If you’re going to keep increasing it by one month, just let me write for the period I want.” 

“Wait, 6 months! How about 6 months?— Or a year! Let’s set it to one year and decide whether to renew the contract after one year!” 

He caught me from the other side and blocked me from dragging my finger as if I were going to take the contract. But what power do I have to beat Lee Jehee’s finger? When I quickly shouted for a year in a harsh contract that was only dragged away, he finally withdrew. Thanks to this, I sweated a lot here. 

I guess the negotiations are not for everyone.

“All right. I respect Yeon Seonwoo’s opinion, so the period will be one year. And I’ll put in the requirements you mentioned. Is there anything else you want?”

“Ah, well, on the way here, my watch—.”

Where did you respect my opinion? Such complaints rose to the end of my throat, but I decided to take care of what I could take care of instead of voicing them out. 

So, I blurted out the end of my words, showing how the glass on the top was cracked by the barrel that was suddenly dragged. Lee Jehee, who watched the scene, unexpectedly released the watch he was wearing and put it on the contract. 

At first glance, it was a watch from an expensive brand that would cost several times more than my cracked watch. Such a luxury watch that seems to be a business that remains for me even if I sell it on the second-hand market.  

“And what else?” 

“There’s none!”

Obviously, I just felt annoyed by the way he spoke. Now is the time to really stop.

We seemed to have finished the negotiations, which was not bad, so I smiled and tried to bring a watch and put it in my pocket, but suddenly he raised his hand and stopped my action. 

“Go and wear it. I think it will make my heart feel more comfortable with it. Chorok-ah, go and put the watch on.” 

“Yes.”

What is this nonsense? Are you messing with me because I lost my watch? Otherwise, why does Chorok put my watch on when my hands are playing fine! 

“No! You don’t have to do that!” 

“Stay still.”

“—Yes.”

That jerk face was cold. He calmly put my hands together to tell me to stay still. In the meantime, Chorok, who approached me in an instant, took my left wrist at will, took off my original watch, and put it on the table.

What if my wrist gets cut off? 

I couldn’t take my eyes off of him with a suspicious mind. But fortunately, that jerk Chorok, who only put the watch with a new one, quietly stepped back. 

As I slowly lowered my gaze, the watch on my wrist revealed its crazy presence. Obviously, it seemed to fit nicely when it was on Lee Jehee’s wrist, but when it’s wrapped around my wrist, it’s presence becomes so bad that it hurts.

It’s an ominous item, so it should be sold on the second-hand market as soon as possible.

“Then the contract will end at this point.”

I thought this hellish time would finally come to an end. But the moment Lee Jehee said that, the contract floated in the air, and as his hand passed over the letters once, the edge of the contract shone with gold. 

I was surprised to see the contract that returned to me with a flapping sound and looked at Lee Jehee. This is because all the contents of the contract were changed to what we said. 

What is this? Was this a special item?

As I was staring at the golden paper in surprise, a new object appeared on the table. It seemed that Lee Jehee had taken it out of his inventory as it suddenly appeared with a click sound. 

Why does it have to look like a ring? Is this also a good item? 

[Judgement skill activated. Start appraisal of the item.]

[Failed.] 

[Unidentified item: The user’s ability level is low, so it can’t be evaluated.] 

It must have been an item, not a general ring. That’s also a very good item that I can’t analyze. 

But I looked back at Lee Jehee with a puzzled face because I didn’t know what to do with this. 

“What is this?”

“As soon as you put it on, the contract will take effect. It’s an item that keeps the contract, so just wear it. It also has the effect of increasing the amount of mana.” 

Oh! It was a really good special item?

Hearing that he would give me such a thing, I quickly picked up the ring and put it on my middle finger. I intentionally put it on this finger because I wanted to hit him. And as soon as it was worn, the unconfirmed state was released and information about the item appeared. 

[Top-class Servant Ring: By wearing this ring, a contract with the top-class master ring will be established. Listen to your master and be a servant who is loved] 

[The mana amount is increased by 1000 with the effect of wearing the Top-class Servant Ring.] 

[Stamina increases by 100 with the effect of wearing the Top-Class Servant Ring.] 

[Magic Defense increases by 1000 with the effect of wearing the Top-Class Servant Ring.] 

[Resistance increases by 100 with the effect of wearing the Top-Class Servant Ring.] 

As soon as I put on the Top-class ring, I couldn’t turn my eyes to the crazy state message. There were words about something good, but rather, I couldn’t shake my eyes at the item information. 

What Master— Loved what? What kind of nonsense is this? Who’s the Master? No way—.

I slowly lifted my head and looked at Lee Jehee and pointed with my finger. 

“—Master?”

“If that’s comfortable for you, you can call me that.”

“I’m not?! It’s not that. The ring—I think it’s wrong—.”

I put strength on my finger to take off the ring right away. However, despite the desperate efforts, the ring didn’t intend to fall out. While looking only at my fingers in embarrassment, another state window came up, interfering with my vision. 

[With the Top-class Servant Ring effect, the Master can find out where the Servant is] 

[With the Top-class Servant Ring effect, the Master can summon the Servant once a day] 

[The special passive skill ‘Be Loved’ is unlocked With the Top-class Servant Ring effect.] 

[Receive the Master’s love and become a loyal Servant!]

“This crazy—”

I couldn’t swallow the curse this time.
