"This," Rindou said as she put it in front of him and continued to speak, "Is one of my gifts, actually the most unimpressed, but at the same time most impressive,"

"What is in front of you is a blank soul contract," Rindou mentioned while sliding it across the table toward Leo,

Seeing the soul contract in front of him. Leo first used Observe on it to make sure that its safe to pick up,

.

[Soul Contract(Legendary Item): A contract that lets you make a deal for anything that a living being has,]

.

"This... this is incredible," Leo thought aloud while having a burning desire for it,

"You want it right," Rindou asked after seeing his desire for this contract,

Hearing this, Leo snaps out of his thoughts and asks her, "And what do you want in return,"

"Because I am sure you just don't want a living dinosaur to use as an ingredient in exchange for it," Leo said while moving his gazed at Rindou's face,

After hearing this question, Rindou just laughed a little and said, "Indeed, I want you to sign a soul contract with me," Rindou said while smiling,

.

"No, absolutely not," Leo rejected this condition without any further thought,

"But first, at least listen to me about what my contact says before you decide whether to sign it or not," Rindou asked him to reconsider it again while having a cute expression on her face,

"No, means no, I am not making any deal like that," Leo again refused while trying to get up from his seat,

'Even if I love to have her in my crew, I wouldn't do it at the cost of signing a soul contract that will absolutely have some unreasonable conditions in it,'

"Even if you will gain a way to remove sea curses from the devil fruit," Rindou quickly pulls out her trump card as she sees him trying to leave the conversation,

"Okay, I am listening," Leo stops immediately and sat down on his seat again,

"So, the contract is..." Rindou's words were cut short as Leo said, "I ask you about Sea Curses, not this,"

"Hmm, I will only tell you about the method to break the sea curses after you listen to my contact terms," Rindou declared with a pout while crossing her arms under her breast,

"Okay, then show me your contact terms," Leo agreed,

"Yes! and here is the contract," Rindou replied while opening her hand and willing the contract to come into existence,

"Here, have a look at it, see it's pretty simple, right, as it only has four conditions," Rindou stated as she passed him the contract,

When Leo looked at the contract terms, he was stunned at how simple these conditions were,

.

Both of them will not be able to betray each other,

Leo cannot force her to do anything against her will,

Leo will take her to that island on which dinosaur still exists,

Leo will have to help her as much as he can to fulfill her dream along as it will not bring harm to him,

Leo will receive the item blank Soul Contract, and Rindou Kobayashi will join his crew,

.

"I can understand them, as it is in simple terms, but I want to ask you, are you sure you want to sign this contract," Leo asked her with a slight concern in his voice,

"Yeah, that's why I asked you to sign it because I am hundred percent sure about it," Rindou replied while waving her hand in dismissing manner,

"But, you will not gain much from this and will lose a priceless item for it, and that's a complete unfair deal," Leo asked again with a helpless expression on his face,

As much as he wants this blank soul contact, he would feel really uncomfortable taking it like this,

'I was ready for her to ask me something outrageous, like giving some of my abilities to her, or something more in exchange for this blank soul contract, but this, she is not asking anything in return, and it is really uncomfortable like this,' Leo thought while looking at Rindou, who has a bright smile on her face,

"Are you sure about this," Leo asked her again as he read those terms again and again but was unable to find any loophole she could use to her advantage,

"Just sign it already, and one person can only get in two contracts, and I have already used one before, so the last one is useless for me now," Rindou explained the reason for giving him a blank contract,

After hearing this reply and not finding any signs of her lying, Leo finally relaxed and said to her, "Okay, I will sign it,"

The moment Leo signed it, a prompt of the system appeared in front of him,

.

[WARRING]

.

[The host is signing a soul contract]

.

[Pausing the soul contract process]

.

[Scanning the host]

.

[The host is willing to sign the soul contract]

.

[Scaning the terms]

.

[Nothing harmful to the host is found]

.

[Continuing the soul contract process]

.

When Leo saw this, he sighed in relief and thought, 'So, the system will protect me from getting my soul manipulated without my consent,'

"Yeah, is everything okay with you," Rindou asked with a concerned look on her face,

Hearing this, Leo snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Rindou and pulled out a familiar-looking black card, and gives it to her,

.

.

"Hn, what is this card for," Rindou asked in confusion,

"It is called a crew card, and you just have to wave it a little and accept it's binding process," Leo explained with a smile on his face while putting the blank soul contract in his storage,

"It is one of your gifts, right as I don't think that this world has the advanced technology to create this kind of cards, right," Rindou asked while waving the card gently,

"Not really this was the reward I gained from my gift," Leo replied while scratching the back of his head,

"Oh, so your gift is a mission giver like a quest board or mission plane, that sounds overpowered," Rindou spoke aloud her guess about Leo's cheat,

'Fuck!'

"And why can't I have a gacha system, any other kind of system," Leo asked with a curious expression on his face,

"No reason for that because I just took a wild guess," Rindou stated while shrugging her shoulders,

"Well, your guess is correct," Leo replied while chuckling,

.

!!Would you like to bind!!

.

"Yes,"

"And what are the features of this card, so can you tell me, Leo," Rindou asked while making a cute face,

"Sigh, you can see those features yourself," Leo replied while trying not to stare at her face,
