/// Kisara: Just like you said. They really accepted our conditions. ///

/// Primis: Has the money been transferred to your account? ///

/// Kisara: Some of them but not all. They are still skeptical and said they will only transfer once the request is completed. ///

/// Primis: Is that so. In that case, cancel those requests. ///

/// Kisara: C-Cancel them? ///

/// Primis: Yes. Tell them that we only accept a request whose payment have been received. Since we didn't receive the payment of those requests, we won't accept them. ///

/// Kisara: There will be dispute. ///

/// Primis: Of course, there will be. Though I know you can handle it somehow. ///

/// Kisara: I knew it. You leave the difficult stuff for me. ///

/// Primis: I don't mind switching places with you if you have confidence to complete all the requests in a day. ///

/// Kisara: .........On second thought, I think I will manage. ///

/// Primis: Good to hear that. One more thing, no matter how much they beg, curse or reason with you. Don't accept the request unless they pay. ///

/// Kisara: Huh? Why would they beg us to take their request? Wouldn't they look for another Corporation for help instead. ///

/// Primis: They won't. They will definitely contact you and ask you to take their request. Every single one of them without exception. ///

/// Kisara: Is there a reason? //

/// Primis: Let me guess. You must have only received the payment of 30-40 requests out of 279 of them, right? ///

/// Kisara: How do you know? To be more specific, I only get the money of 31 of them. ///

/// Primis: I see. Now let me ask you this. Since its impossible to complete 279 requests in 24-hours what if there are only 31 of them. ///

/// Kisara: It's still difficult but there are chances to accomplish.........…Wait a minute! ///

/// Primis: You get it. ///

/// Kisara: Um. Since its still somewhat possible this means, in case we succeed then not only we don't have to pay for any reimbursement, but it will still be our win because we asked for 10x the amount.'

/// Primis: And considering that we have already received the payment, they can't make excuses like they can't pay or only pay some portion of it. ///

/// Kisara: They can't suffer such loss. Hence, they will ask me to take more of their request so that it will become difficult for us to complete them. ///

/// Primis: Now that you know what to do. I will leave the resy to you. ///

/// Kisara: Of course. And......... ///

/// Primis: Hmm? ///

/// Kisara: Be careful. ///

TU!

With that Kisara cut the call.

Primis kept on looking at the phone for a second before putting it away.

Next, he turned his attention at the trail of blood that was leading to an alley.

Primis: Let's complete this one soon.

Asaka: Um.

STEP!!

...

…

Step-by-step they walked deeper in the alley and finally reached where it ended.

CRUNCH!!

There was Gastrea who was feasting on a human corpse.

The Gastrea had a large mouth which resembled a beak. Within its mouth lies a full pack of big teeth and a large tongue. Its entire body was covered in fur. It had sharp ears and two eyes, one slightly larger than the other, on the left side of its face. It's a Mouse Gastrea.

At this time, the Gastrea stopped and turned. It looked menacingly at Primis and Asaka.

There was a moment of silence before Gastrea charged at them.

Just when Asaka was about to draw her sword, Primis took out his Silverballer and pulled the trigger.

TIU!!

A Black Bullet was shot out and penetrated the Gastrea's head. The Gastrea's pupil constrict before it fell near their feet. Dead.

THUD!!!

Asaka: J-Just one bullet.

Putting the Silverballer inside his coat, Primis turned and walked away. Asaka snapped out of her thoughts and also hurriedly followed.

[You use Reinforcement Magecraft to increase the strength of the bullet. Impressive.]

'Primis: Did you forget? I didn't buy a single Black Bullet from you.'

[Oh. I forgot that you use your "Unlimited Blade Works" Noble Phantasm to create them.]

'Primis: Um.'

On the way back, Primis gave a call to police so that they can handle the rest.

BUZZ!!

Another Gastrea could be seen flying above the houses. This Gastrea had four relatively large wings. The lower part of its body revealed its large abdomen and thick stinger. It had four small limbs attached to its lower body, and a long neck protruding forward. The eyes of the Gastrea were similar to that of a snail. The mouth of the Gastrea had home to several small teeth and a small tongue sticking out.

It was a Bee Gastrea.

The Bee Gastrea saw a human walking alone on a street.

Finally finding its prey, it charged at him.

Man: Huh?

Because the sound of its wing was loud, the man heard it and looked behind.

Man: Hei!!!

Becoming afraid the man fell on his butt as it watched the Gastrea coming for him.

But then...…

TIU!!!

A Black Bullet penetrated the Bee Gastrea head from behind and it fell dead in front of the man.

THUD!!

As the Man was still shivering, Primis walked up to him and showed him his Civil Officer ID before giving a call to police.

Then he left leaving the man and the corpse of the Gastrea behind.

Just like that Primis moved all around the Tokyo Area killing the Gastrea as well as completing the requests.

TIU!!

THUD!!!

Just when he killed a Lizard Gastrea, he received a call from Kisara.

RING!!

/// Primis: Looks like they accepted. ///

/// Kisara: Yeah. I received all the money of from 279 requests......… ///

/// Primis: What is it? ///

/// Kisara: Just worried that it will be too much for you. ///

/// Primis: I will manage. For now, I want you to send the documents of contracts between both parties to IISO. ///

/// Kisara: Um. Ok. And...…Take care. ///

/// Primis: I will. ///

After putting down his phone, Primis looked Asaka.

Primis: We are moving even faster from now on.

Asaka: Ok, Dad.

Night Came.

--- Outer Area ---

Primis and Asaka swiftly completed all the small and medium requests before night. Now only the High-level ones were left. And all of them were in Outer Area.

Primis: There are 53 High-level requests left. And the payment for every single one of them is 10 million yen or higher.

[And you also only have an hour left to complete them.]

'Primis: Yeah.'

Making their way to an abandoned playground, they witnessed many Gastrea there.

Asaka: They made this place their base.

She said as she held the handle of her sword tightly.

Primis: You take the front this time, Asaka. I will provide support from behind.

Asaka: Ok, Dad.

SHIN!!!

Drawing out her sword, Asaka took a deep breath as her eyes turned red and charged.

SWOOSH!!!

With her speed, she reached the first target in a second and attacked.

SLASH!!!

THUCH!!!

The Gastrea got cut in two as she moved towards her next target.

SLASH!!!

SWUNG!!!

SWISH!!

...

…

With every slash a Gastrea got killed.

Current Asaka was a lot stronger than before. Because of Scáthach teaching in the last month, Asaka movements had become sharper, fluid, and refined.

At this time, two Gastrea jumped at her. She remained calmly and just when they were about to touch her, she moved from the gap between them while spinning.

SLASH!!!

THUCH!!!

...

…

Those Gastrea were cut into many pieces.

Next, she put her sword back into its scabbard and took a stance while looking at Gastreas who were charging at her.

Asaka: Ha...

Releasing a frost breath from her mouth, she did a quick draw.

SHIN!!!

And then...

THUCH!!!!!!!

All of them were cut in two and their two bodies fell.

THUD!!!

...

…

In the end, Asaka put her sword back and took a sigh of relief.

SWOOSH!!!

But at that moment, one of Gastrea who still had some fight left in it jumped at her.

Asaka became shocked and as too late to react.

TIU!!!

At that time, a Black Bullet came from behind and blew that Gastrea head off.

THUD!!!

As its body fell, Primis voice resounded.

Primis: You let your guard down, Asaka.

He said and approached Asaka who lowered her head in shame.

Asaka: Sorry, Dad.

Primis wasn't angry at her. He just placed one of his hands on her hand and patted lightly.

Primis: It's not an issue. You still have a lot to learn and experience. And don't forget that I said I will support you from behind.

Hearing this smile returned on her face.

Asaka: Um.

She nodded happily and saw that many Gastreas were died behind her. With the bullet hold in their body, it was not hard to guess that Primis was the one to kill them.

After giving the place one last look, he spoke.

Primis: We are done here.

Turning they left the playground and checked the time.

'Primis: 55 minutes left.'

--- Tendo Civil Security Agency –-

Kisara was pacing back and front in her office while looking at the clock every two or three seconds.

It's almost time. But she still hadn't heard anything from Primis.

After their last call about how those companies paid the remaining money, she didn't try to call him since she knew that with the current situation every second count. Hence, she didn't dare to disturb or distract him.

'Kisara: DAMN. If we failed, then we will in a debt of almost Trillion Yen. That's not the money I would be able to earn even if I sell myself. Heck, even the Two-digit or One-digit Promoters won't earn this much money. And the most important thing, is he himself fine? I hope he doesn't meet with any mishap while forcing himself to complete the requests. Please be alright, Erste.'

Biting her thumb nail, she started wondering what she had to do next.

'Kisara: I am having a feeling that by being with him I will face worriedness many times again in future. *sigh* Just why do I even agree to join him.'

Suddenly a realization struck him as she couldn't help screaming inwardly.

'Kisara: Instead of joining, its more accurate to say that I sold myself to him for revenge!!!'

After grunting for some more, she sighed.

'Kisara: No point in talking over spilled milk now.'

Sighing again, she looked at the clock.

'Kisara: *Hic* *Sob* It's over. Only 15 seconds are left. *Hic* *Sob*'

CLICK!!

At this time, the door opened and Primis entered.

Kisara: You're Here!!!

Shouting she jumped at Primis in excitement. On the contrary, Primis didn't seem surprised because he knew how much pressure she was at and easily caught her.

Kisara: How did it go?

In nervousness she pressed herself to him, letting her big breasts squeeze on his chest.

Remaining unfazed, Primis replied.

Primis: It's done.

Kisara: Really!

She then hurriedly left Primis and dash towards her laptop. After done checking, a dumfounded expression appeared on her on face as she muttered.

Kisara: Thy are all finished. You really completed all 279 requests in mere one day...

Witnessing her lost look, Primis approached her and closed her laptop.

Kisara: Huh...…

Since she was still lost in her mind, her brain was taking time to process what was happening.

Primis: We will talk tomorrow. For now, go home and rest. You need it.

Kisara: Oh…Ok...…

Her brain was still moving sluggishly as she slowly got up from her chair and picked up her bag and walked to the door.

Primis: I will lock the office. You just directly go home.

Kisara: ...Ok.

Primis: On more thing. Switching off your phone since those companies will be bombarding with calls soon.

Kisara: ......…Um.

That's all she replied before leaving.

[She is still having hard time believing that you accomplished the impossible.]

'Primis: Yeah. But she will be fine by tomorrow.'

Next, Primis move his head down and looked at Asaka who was hard time opening her eyes.

Ophis: She also very tired.

Scáthach: Yes. But I am still provide seeing my student improvement.

Primis: True.

Lowering himself a little, Primis picked up Asaka.

Primis: You did great. We are proud of you. So now, rest.

Asaka: Um.

She smiled hearing the praise before stopped fighting her sleepiness and fell asleep in her dad's arms.
