Poor magical girls, work for me!

A feeling unlike anything I'd ever experienced washed over my entire body.

His eyes "saw" some tiny white threads that faintly connected him to the three girls in front of him.

That was a weak connection based on "employment".

Now, these threads seem to have become "editable" and "strengthened".

Turning to page four of the manual, where there was only simple information about Momose Sena, the names of Matsushima Yukio and Nanatsuji Kirion were added.

Employed client.

[Employee Target:]

① Momose Sena, Level 3, Occupation - Magical Girl, Monthly/5 Silver Coins (AFK Income, Daily/1 Silver Coin). (Can be Specially Trained) (Feedback Not Activated).

A list of available employees appears below the already hired employees.

[Possible employees.]

① Matsushima Yukio, Level 2, Occupation: Magical Girl. (Not yet a formal employee – less than 2 silver coins per month.) (Cannot be specially trained) (Feedback not activated)

Note: It is a mistake for a business owner to disclose the salaries of other employees.

This also prevented you from truly succeeding in hiring Matsushima Yukio.

……

② Nanatsuji Kirion, Level 2, Occupation: Shrine Maiden. (Not officially employed – reasonable salary not offered.) (Cannot be specially trained) (Feedback not activated)

Clear at a glance!

The notes in the manual made it perfectly clear to Ryosuke Miyagi why the other two were not listed in the manual.

The ability to receive special training is the core competency of the top boss team.

Hunt monsters to obtain resources, and then use those resources to raise magical girls and shrine maidens to support yourself.

It's a perfect virtuous cycle, and even Ryosuke Miyagi, as an employee, can earn a considerable amount of money from it.

Skills began to appear in his mind.

The foundation for the "big boss" path has been laid!

[Gain initial trait: Mercenary Eye (Beginner)]

Visual inspection can be used to more intuitively assess the "value" of potential employees (growth potential, employability, training direction, etc.).

Note: You can openly stare at a girl's chest; that's not peeping! That's evaluation! You're a big boss!!

[Initial Trait Acquired: Special Training (Beginner)]

Start special training for your employees.

Note: (The training content is incredibly varied. It might involve some embarrassing physical contact, or it might be an exorcism in a hot spring for two. This is genuinely about getting stronger, not the boss trying to take advantage of us!!)

Congratulations! You've embarked on a path where "favors" and "power" are now openly priced! Now, your world, besides inspiration and resentment, has gained another dimension: "value" and "commission." Go and refine your hiring practices and begin your "investment"! The feedback from your first full-time employee's growth will surely be especially rewarding.

Ryosuke Miyagi closed the handbook, a profound glint in his eyes. He had indeed chosen the right path.

Now we need to hire employees, such as Matsushima Yukio and Nanatsuji Kirion. Reasonable hiring always requires gradually introducing the topic.

It's just like being in a relationship.

A direct approach to confessing your feelings has a very high failure rate.

We must gradually steer the conversation toward employment.

"How was your first collaboration with the hunting of the vengeful wild god?"

Ryosuke Miyagi observed the three women's reactions.

"It's easier than fighting low-level monsters. And..."

Matsushima Yukio subconsciously tightened her grip on the gold coins in her hand.

"The profits are considerable."

"And you, Kirito, how are you doing?"

Upon hearing her name mentioned, Nanatsuji Kirion immediately looked up.

"Huh? Me...me?"

She felt somewhat embarrassed, believing that she hadn't made much of a contribution from beginning to end, having only set up a barrier.

"My role isn't very significant..."

"No, Kirito, you are very useful."

The little witch seemed rather insecure.

"This battle was significantly more difficult with even one less person involved, and I have paid you all the rewards I promised. I am not a liar, and I don't like to talk about saving the world."

"The most important thing is the tangible benefits you see from hunting monsters. I'm willing to pay the price for world peace."

[You've already acquired the basics of a boss's hypocrisy! Even though the gold coins were from the manual, it bore the brunt of it all, while you acted with a shamelessness that could cut vegetables!]

[Reward: Low-level Thick Skin only applies to the face (your face is completely impenetrable to ordinary knives! This is your reward for being deceitful!)]

Paying the price for world peace.

These words made all three of them turn to look at Ryosuke Miyagi.

In their eyes, Ryosuke Miyagi's figure immediately seemed taller...

It's hard to imagine that there are people in the world who would be willing to use their own wealth to hire others to protect the world.

Tall, selfless, kind, and still powerful...

"Now I extend a formal invitation to join my team and become my employees. All the monsters you defeat will belong to you, and you will also receive a monthly salary of 5 silver coins."

Nanatsuji Kirion immediately refused!

"You've already given me enough. I don't need any more pay. Hunting monsters is enough for me."

"no."

Ryosuke Miyagi shook his head.

He earns 5 silver coins a month, and if he successfully hires someone, he can earn 1 silver coin a day from each client!

"These are the rules. As your rank increases, your salary will gradually increase as well. I've said before that I will pay for world peace, and you just need to live your own lives and not let mundane things affect your daily routines."

Ryosuke Miyagi's words are noble and great!

If it weren't for the fact that he was in the wilderness, in the dim light, he would have squeezed out two tears of despair, thinking that the world was not worth it.

"Become my employee."

Ryosuke Miyagi took out 10 silver coins.

At this moment, in his eyes, the connection between him and Matsushima Yukio and Nanatsuji Kirion began to deepen.

A witcher who declared he would pay for world peace handed over silver coins, requesting employment.

It's hard to refuse

"Okay, Ryosuke-kun... I agree."

Nanatsuji Kirion reached out and took the five silver coins from her hand.

Matsushima Yukio hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I agree, we gained a lot from this battle."

But she only took 3 silver coins.

She felt a pang of guilt.

"What am I even fussing about..." she silently berated herself.

"Ryosuke-kun... he doesn't want anything. The divine artifact will be auctioned off, the reward for the monsters will be ours, plus extra bonuses. He's even going to pay us out of his own pocket to hire us..."

As a senior colleague, and as an adult who entered society earlier and knew that every yen was extremely valuable, she understood better than Momose Sena and Nanatsuji Kirion what this "employment" meant.

This is not an employment, it's almost... charity.

No, it's even more heartbreaking than charity, because this "goodwill" is wrapped in such a form of respect for their abilities and contributions that it leaves her no room for even the resentment of being "given a handout," only a deeper sense of shame.

"Ryosuke-kun..." She reached out her hand, but did not touch the five silver coins.

"You promised me two silver coins to hire you..." She didn't dare look into Miyagi Ryosuke's eyes, her gaze fixed on the buttons on his chest.

The next instant, Matsushima Yukio's hand was grabbed, palm up, and five silver coins were placed in her palm.

"The previous silver coins were all a token of our gratitude; this is the official commission fee."

Matsushima Yukio suddenly looked up and met Miyagi Ryosuke's sincere eyes in the darkness.

"Thanks."

This action made Matsushima Yukio blush and lower her head in embarrassment.

The favorability rating jumped to 45 in an instant.

[Your actions have made Matsushima Yukio feel ashamed. If you see everyone off and just stand outside Yukio's house a little longer, she will definitely feel guilty and invite you to her room. She will thank you and make up for her guilt in a way befitting a magical girl!]

The two went from being potential employers to being employed.

The same characters appear after each name: 5 silver coins per month (idle income, 1 silver coin per day).

Ryosuke Miyagi can earn 3 silver coins for free every day by relying on his employers.

Even if you do nothing, you can earn about 9 yen a day!
