Irina: I'm Actually Quite Capable!

Chapter 139 -  Irina: I'm Actually Quite Capable!

"Working for a devil?"

Irina and Xenovia exchanged glances. Seeing the disbelief and reluctance in each other's eyes, they wanted to refuse.

"Why? You don't want to?" Mahiro sneered.

"Working for a devil is just too unacceptable. It's a downfall, a disgrace!" Irina said angrily.

Although Xenovia didn't speak, her expression showed that she felt the same as Irina.

If anyone found out, they might be expelled from the church like Asia.

As devout believers, they couldn't accept this in their hearts.

"You've already landed yourselves in jail, and you're talking about disgrace?"

"Is this how Catholic believers behave? If word gets out, people will surely change their views on you," Mahiro laughed.

Hearing this, they couldn't help but lower their heads, blushing with shame, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.

"It was an accident! Today was just an accident."

"We lost our IDs by mistake; otherwise, how could we have been brought to the police station?" Irina protested unwillingly, but her expression lacked confidence.

"Accident or not, if you leave now, the two of you will definitely be labeled as criminals." Mahiro sneered mercilessly.

He was just trying to scare them, but if he wanted to make it happen, it wouldn't be hard—Rias could arrange it with a single word.

"Ugh!" Irina let out a small whimper, glaring at Mahiro with a humiliated look.

Xenovia remained silent, falling into deep thought, looking defeated.

They both sighed inwardly. This mission was turning into a disaster.

Not only was their target a formidable enemy, but they'd also lost their wallets and documents, got themselves detained, and now faced gremory clan in the most awkward situation.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. Why don't you listen to what I have in mind for you first?" Mahiro suddenly changed his tone, less aggressive than before. 

His voice softened slightly. 

"It's not too late to refuse after hearing me out, right?"

He'd applied enough pressure; pushing further might cause them to refuse.

"What kind of good job would a fiànce of a devil offer?"

"You probably intend to touch us. No, no, no, I won't agree," Irina said, her face conflicted, but her tone less firm.

"Let's hear it," Xenovia pondered for a moment and said.

"Hey, Xenovia!" Irina called out in dissatisfaction.

"It doesn't hurt to listen. We're just wasting time here," Xenovia explained.

"Alright, I'll listen," Irina conceded.

"You're from the church, and we're from the devil faction. Asking you to do something related to that—let's not even discuss whether you'd agree."

"With you two idiots, I wouldn't dare let you meddle in our affairs," Mahiro looked at them with disdain. The implication was clear.

"Don't look at me like that! I'm actually quite capable!" Irina protested.

"Capable?" Mahiro raised an eyebrow, giving Irina a meaningful glance.

Although she was wrapped in a white church cloak, her figure was indeed very good. 

She had a soft voice and twin ponytails of blonde hair, looking quite cute.

Mahiro sneered, causing Irina to feel her dignity was being challenged.

"Whether you're capable or not, I'll have to see for myself," Mahiro said without changing his expression.

No way around it—these two were obviously members of the church, but they were so naïve that one might wonder if they were undercover agents sent by devils.

Especially with their innocent appearances, they could say or do things that easily led to misunderstandings.

Asia gave off a similar vibe.

Mahiro couldn't help but wonder if the church in this world was a bit careless; otherwise, how could there be such people?

"You said you'd tell us what you want us to do," Xenovia said calmly.

"Ah, right." Mahiro nodded. "My original intention was to have you do some housework to pay off your debt."

"Housework?"

"That's it?"

Irina and Xenovia were slightly surprised. They thought Mahiro would make things difficult for them, but they didn't expect it to be housework.

"Xenovia, what do you think?" Irina asked.

She was a bit persuaded; after all, doing housework seemed simple enough.

"Ahem!" Xenovia pretended to ponder for a while, then looked up at Mahiro and continued, "You said it cost about five million yen to get us out. What about the wages you'll pay us?"

"Of course, it'll be at market rates," Mahiro replied directly.

"..." Xenovia fell silent.

She wasn't local and didn't know the market rate for such work.

"What do you think, Irina?" Xenovia looked at Irina.

"Uh..." Irina looked puzzled. "I haven't been back here for a long time; I don't know the exact rates."

"Each person earns 20,000 yen a day, from 9 to 5. If there are any special services, we can negotiate extra pay," Mahiro said thoughtfully.

"Twenty thousand yen? Xenovia, what do you think? Should we agree?" Irina's eyes sparkled.

"Twenty thousand yen each makes forty thousand yen for both of us. It'll take over three months to pay off the debt."

"We don't have that much time to spend, Irina. Do you understand?" Xenovia frowned.

"Xenovia, you idiot! Didn't you hear him say it's from 9 to 5? Most of our mission activities are at night."

"As long as we do our tasks outside of working hours," Irina felt she'd found a sense of superiority in IQ and looked at Xenovia with contempt.
