Then, when I tell you that I have completed all the tasks for today, please say, "Thank you for completing today's tasks. This is a reward for you."

Finally, when I say goodbye to you, I'll say, "Goodbye, and thank you for your contributions to the guild, adventurer."

Aoyama Nanami was stunned for a long time before cautiously asking:

"This is all I do every day, nothing extra?"

Isn't this too simple?

This kind of work could be easily done by any elementary school student you grab off the street, right?

Yin Kong nodded and affirmed:

“That’s right, that’s your job. Every day, you say these three lines to me as Catherine, that’s all.”

All he needed was this formality.

As for the distribution of the remaining rewards, that's entirely the responsibility of the system.

However, his answer only made Aoyama Nanami even more uneasy.

Just as Yin Kong said, these requirements, though strange, were not difficult at all; in fact, they were almost too simple.

Aoyama Nanami now hopes that Yin Kong can make some unreasonable demands.

Otherwise, she would feel uneasy about receiving such a high salary.

"I see, so Yoon-kong likes role-playing." Sonoko suddenly realized, and pondered, "That's a good idea. Should I find someone to play Kid-sama and feed me every day?"

This man is not such a simple creature.

Unlike Sonoko, who was already lost in her fantasies, Conan stared intently at Yin Kong, his brows furrowed tightly.

He was absolutely certain that Yin Kong's actions had a deeper meaning and could not be as simple as Yuanzi made it out to be.

However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out the meaning behind it.

Conan, who just shrunk, is still far too unrestrained.

Even if Yin Kong didn't consciously try to sense it, he couldn't completely ignore Conan's blatant and undisguised suspicious gaze.

If he really is a member of the Black Organization, this kid is probably already on their kill list.

Should we find an opportunity to teach him a lesson he won't forget?

Conan instinctively shuddered. He suddenly sensed that a deep-seated "malice" had locked onto him, giving him a premonition that disaster was about to befall him.

"Alright, Aoyama-kun, what's your decision? Are you willing to accept this job?"

"Okay, I accept."

After much hesitation, Aoyama Nanami finally gritted her teeth and agreed.

Even if Yin Kong is still hiding some conspiracy, as long as she is careful, it should be fine, right?

Yin Kong nodded slightly and suggested:

"In that case, let's try them on first."

Aoyama Nanami naturally wouldn't refuse. After she took the clothes to the changing room, Yin Kong suddenly looked at Conan and asked:

"So, Conan, is the job interview interesting?"

Conan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly suppressed his suspicious expression, raising his hands to feign an innocent look:

"This is so interesting! Brother Yin Kong is amazing!"

Yin Kong nodded and said:

"If you find it interesting, that's fine."

Conan, however, seized the opportunity and acted like a curious child:

"But brother, what exactly did you mean by the lines that Sister Aoyama said? What are 'Towards the stars and the abyss' and 'Adventurers' Guild'?"

Stars, abyss, adventurers' guild...

These must all have a specific meaning, right?

Unfortunately, he still lacked crucial information, so he hoped to extract more information from Yin Kong.

Yin Kong also revealed a mysterious smile:

"Actually, Conan, I'll tell you a secret too."

Conan immediately pressed on, asking:

"What secret?"

Yin Kong immediately lowered his voice and whispered:

"Actually, I am a world-renowned adventurer who has slain a silver-haired banshee, an eight-headed sea serpent, and an abyssal evil dragon..."

Chapter 45 Adventurers Association

"This maid outfit—"

In the dressing room, Aoyama Nanami had already changed into Catherine's clothes and felt very strange looking at herself in the mirror.

It's not that there's anything wrong with this "employee uniform"; quite the opposite, it's too good.

Not only are the craftsmanship and fabric high-end, making them very comfortable to wear, but more importantly, they fit surprisingly well in both size and dimensions.

Is it just a coincidence?

But isn't this just too much of a coincidence?

It's such a coincidence that this dress seems to have been tailor-made for me.

However, it's unlikely that this was prepared in advance for Mr. Yin Kong.

After all, she had already found a new part-time job, but she was still hesitant because the pay was too low.

It was purely coincidental that I passed by this apartment building today, and it was even more accidental that I noticed the job posting at the entrance and went inside.

In this situation, how should Yin Kong prepare in advance?

Moreover, his demands were quite strange.

Aoyama Nanami could guess that Yin Kong was probably having her play a fictional character that didn't exist, but [Catherine]?

However, if you have the chance, you could ask some industry veterans to find out exactly who this [Catherine] is...

Since someone is willing to pay such a high price just for three lines of dialogue, they must be a very famous and popular character, right?

"Silver-haired banshee, eight-headed sea serpent, abyssal evil dragon..."

As Yin Kong proudly recounted his great achievements, Conan's eyes immediately narrowed into dead fish eyes.

Is this guy really treating him like a primary school student?

"What, Conan, you don't believe me?" Yin Kong shook his head slightly, adopting a posture of reminiscing about glorious past years. "The starry sea was dark and desolate, until someone ignited themselves, and the universe possessed its first light. This is my ancient name, [Dumani]. It was with its help that I was able to defeat the Ancient Dragon King, who had been revived due to the corruption of the Abyss's will, together with the God of Fire..."

Conan just chuckled and didn't reply.

Although Yin Kong spoke with great conviction, he clearly didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

This is most likely some setting from some movie or anime. If you want him to believe it's true, you might as well make him believe that Genta is actually the boss of the Black Organization.

"It seems you won't believe me unless I show you something real." To Conan's astonishment, Yin Kong actually picked up a wooden sign from the wall of the agency. "See this? This is the mark of the Adventurers' Guild."

They actually made a signboard?

Conan was taken aback, and then he saw Yin Kong holding up the sign and actually hanging it in the most conspicuous place at the entrance of the agency.

Is this guy a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer?

To be able to go this far is clearly not as simple as just fooling yourself.

Conan carefully examined the Adventurers' Guild sign for a moment, silently memorizing the design on it.

As for [Dumani], he plans to ask Professor Agasa to help investigate their true origins after he returns.

Even if it's just a setting or line from a movie or animation, it will at least let him know which works Yin Kong has watched.

Yin Kong didn't pay attention to Conan's reaction. After hanging up the sign, he nodded in satisfaction.

This world obviously doesn't have an Adventurers' Guild, which is a huge loss for him, and many important system functions are now unusable.

Just like teleportation anchors, the system also provides a remedy to compensate for losses:

That is, Yin Kong himself founded an adventurer's association in another world.

Once the system's assessment is passed, the system can unlock the corresponding functions and issue the corresponding rewards.

The system also has only three decision points:

First, the official name must be "Adventurers' Guild Tokyo Branch".

Yin Kong could claim that his agency is the "All-Purpose Agency, Cunning Rabbit House," for ease of promotion and understanding.

However, in the official registration certificate, the name of the agency must be "[Adventurers' Guild XX Branch]".

Secondly, the emblem of the Adventurers' Guild must be displayed, which is the sign that Yin Kong showed to Conan.

Thirdly, and most importantly, there must be a Miss Catherine.

So, when Aoyama Nanami, dressed in Catherine's clothes, walked out of the agency's lounge looking somewhat reserved, Yin Kong heard the system notification.

From now on, this place will be recognized by the system as the true Adventurers' Guild.

Yin Kong can submit and claim daily mission rewards here, and also assign exploration and dispatch missions to characters.

Unfortunately, I've only completed two daily tasks today, so I can't submit any commissions yet.

However, he could try exploring the dispatch function.

Yin Kong opened the system interface and immediately discovered that he could now dispatch any of his characters to carry out exploration missions in Beika Town.

You can earn 5,000 Mora every 20 hours.

Of course, even with Yin Kong's current resource acquisition efficiency, five thousand Mora is still not a remarkable reward.

What he really cares about is whether this feature can give the characters the ability to act independently.

"Toward the stars and the abyss, welcome to the Adventurers Association."

Aoyama Nanami watched Yin Kong's reaction with some nervousness. If she could, she would not want to lose this simple but exceptionally well-paid job.

Yin Kong also temporarily closed the system page and pondered:

"This tone is a bit too sweet; it would be better to be more friendly."

Aoyama Nanami was taken aback at first, because Yin Kong's words immediately reminded her of her audition experience.

She adjusted herself and then repeated Catherine's lines once more.

Sure enough, this time it was closer to what Yin Kong remembered.

"Aoyama-kun, have you practiced voice acting?"

Yin Kong was somewhat surprised.

While Aoyama Nanami's ability to adjust her voice so easily is not as effortless as that of Kaito Kid, it's still something an ordinary student couldn't do.

The brown-haired girl scratched her head sheepishly.

"Indeed, my dream is to become a voice actor."

Yin Kong suddenly realized, and then smiled and said:

"I see. Well then, I wish you all your dreams come true."

Upon seeing this, Ran Mouri immediately stood up again to say goodbye.

After all, there's still Kogoro Mouri at home, waiting for her to come back and clean and cook.

This time, Conan naturally didn't cause any more trouble.

After the three people—the two adults and the child—left, the office suddenly became quiet and deserted.

Aoyama Nanami asked Yin Kong:

"Boss, is there anything I can do for you?"

Earning such a high salary while sitting here in a daze would obviously make her feel guilty.
