Offers and Protection

"Heh, I didn't think that a caged girl like you could be so arrogant by advising a free-living Evil Spirit. It's still 300 years too soon for a modern girl like you to be so wise." The green-haired man removed his hand from his head and slightly looked at him with disdain.

"Hey! Even though I warned you because I care about you... If you think so, I was hoping that you would die of a headache and that going to the afterlife would be easier and less troublesome for me." Elvira was really annoyed when her concern was insulted by him.

"A headache won't kill an evil spirit, so you don't have to be so considerate of me." The Evil Spirit also didn't want to lose and kept his self-esteem so as not to be humiliated by her.

"How can someone asking for help be so arrogant! If you don't want to accept my help, that's fine." Elvira was a little annoyed and turned her face away when the man who asked her for help suddenly underestimated her.

"Ah, so you accepted? Haha, I thought you said that rudely because you wanted to reject it... If that's the case, I'm glad that you're willing to help an evil spirit like me cross into the afterlife." He who looked arrogant earlier suddenly turned gentle and friendly. He even laughed when he found out that Elvira agreed to help him.

Even though it sounds like he wanted to be familiar with her, Elvira certainly won't be instigated by his words easily and become familiar with him. She must not forget because after all he was an Evil Sprit.

"Huff, if I refuse to help you, I won't talk to you much... Now I'm annoyed, even though I usually hate talking to people I just met, but how can I talk to you so much, and what's worse I talk to Evil Spirits!" Before discussing about the help she will provide, Elvira took a deep breath when she realized that she had talked too much with the man she had just met.

"Obviously because I'm not human. And I'm used to dealing with introverted girls like you, so it's quite easy for me to make you talk a lot. But, isn't talking more fun than being alone in silence?" He smiled as he took her expression of annoyance as a compliment.

"Don't act like you know, I hate noise... Actually I don't want to believe in Evil Spirits, let alone a pretentious Evil Spirit I just met. However, if you can convince me that you are a good Spirit and truly intend to afterlife, I'll consider it." Actually from the beginning she had wanted to help the Evil Spirit in front of her, but when she saw his knowing expression made her a little annoyed and intended to make things difficult for him.

"If you are willing to help me, I will tell you my weak point so you can send me to the afterlife by force at any time if I have any ill will towards you." Without hesitation he immediately offered his weak point to convince Elvira.

Even though he said it confidently, Elvira frowned slightly and looked even more annoyed than before after hearing his offer.

"Do you think I'm a kid who's easily fooled? Who would believe a promise like that? The chances of lying are so high, I refuse!" Elvira immediately rejected the offer because she felt that his statement could not be proven directly and had a high probability of lying.

"Ah, I didn't think you were smart enough. Though I wish your mind was as innocent as your face... Then how about if you want to help me, I save your sister who was kidnapped by the Evil Fox Spirit instead?" He smirked slightly as he offered something that Elvira definitely couldn't refuse.

"W-what!? Did I hear right that you wanted to help Olive? Are you sure about that!?" She flinched slightly when she heard the offer that made her irritated disappear in an instant.

Even though she was happy to hear the offer, she felt that a free Evil Spirit like him who had no partners would not be able to fight the Evil Spirits lodged in the capital. And what made her worried was the Capital City Evil Spirit that Mr Marcus was wary of.

"Yes, that's my offer. If I succeed in saving your sister then you will be bound by a contract with me until the promise to help me is fulfilled. But if I fail, you have the right to send me to the afterlife by force." He came down from the window and looked seriously at her as he negotiated the offer he had outlined.

"Although I'm happy with your offer, I don't think you'll win if you're the only one who will fight against the evil spirits of the capital. Mr. Marcus who is the strongest sorcerer doesn't even dare to attack directly into the Evil Spirit's lair and chooses to plan ahead. " Although it sounds impossible to do but she tried to let him because his offer would save Olive. Even so she had to make sure that the success of this plan was quite high.

"Before the third full moon, I think I still have a chance to defeat the Evil Fox Spirit." He had a serious expression when he said the opportunity he had.
