"Igula, how about this strength?"

"Do you want more water? Let me do it! Do you want to eat French fries? Open your mouth, ah~"

In the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, the fraudster looked at Ash who was trying to pay him attention early in the morning, turned away the fries he handed over, and sighed: "Tell me, how do you want to ruin my dignity this time? Do you want me to help you hypnotize you to find a girlfriend? Or help you reorganize the Four Pillars?"

"How is that possible!" Ash replied firmly, "I just realized that I haven't thanked you properly before, so I want to deepen our relationship... This is purely an academic discussion. How long does your hypnosis last, and how effective is it?"

"Really no intention?"

"No! But Igula, how old are you this year? What are your plans after the weaving festival is over? Have you ever thought about starting a family and building a career..."

"Oh~~~~" Igulla made a meaningful sound: "But why do you only care about me? Harvey is not younger than me, why don't you ask him?"

"What is there for him to ask? The answer must be to dig up the ancestral graves of the Full Gospel."

Harvey swallowed the sandwich in his mouth and shook his head. "It's the prejudice of an outsider. Just like flowers, they are most beautiful when they are in full bloom. After that, they are just withered remains. I have no interest in ancestral graves. The 48 hours after a person dies are called the 'ephemeral period' by necromancers. Lividity gradually forms, the internal organs dissolve, and the corpse can produce a hyperactive response to external stimuli. This is the best time to enjoy the food. The reason why the corpses on the Blood Moon side are never kept for 48 hours is similar..."

Ash suddenly felt something was wrong. Even though Harvey said such disgusting things, it did not affect his appetite for breakfast at all. The same was true for others, even Liz ate with gusto.

After the weaving ceremony is over, he must keep a distance from Harvey. Ash doesn't want his first reaction to seeing a corpse in the future to be admiration instead of fear!

"In short," Ash kneaded Igula's shoulders and said affectionately, "Igula, you should also want to settle down, right? You must have had enough of this life of wandering around, right?"

"Well..." Igula relaxed his shoulders and enjoyed the service of the cult leader, "Indeed, I am not very interested in traveling. It's time to manage my own life."

"Right, right," Ash nodded repeatedly, "and the best choice for you to settle down is undoubtedly--"

Igulas put his hand over his mouth and said, "Yes, I am running the Four Pillars Divine Religion."

Ash: “!?”

"I'm just joking," Igula let go of his hand and said with a smile, "But Rusty Crow's Four Pillars of Gods is indeed very consistent with my career plan. Even without the help of the Four Pillars of Gods, I also plan to establish a secret organization, gradually seize fame, power, and money, and create a career in the gospel—"

"But wouldn't you be able to get all of this if you just married into Belldette's family? And get a super cute... genius daughter who's just as cute as Liz!"

Liz looked away reluctantly with satisfaction. Igula said unhappily, "That's all Gospel's fabrication. Anfil and I will never go that far. And why do you keep persuading me to marry into Beldette's family? Is there any benefit for you?"

"I'm doing this for your own good." Ash's eyes wandered, "Of course, it would be great if you were willing to help your former cellmates after you become successful."

Igula glanced at Ash and Liz, and instantly understood his true intention. He turned to look at An Nan unhappily and asked, "Have you found a job in the ground city?"

"I've found them," An Nan said, "One for city sanitation, one for puppet staff, and one for restaurant service. We'll leave after breakfast."

Ash asked, "Hey? Miss, aren't you going?"

"Of course I'll go."

"But there are only three jobs—"

"Only Igula, Harvey and I will go. You and Panji will stay in the hotel." Annan stared at Yaxiu and said, "Your task is to accompany Panji for the whole day. Don't be separated for too long. Do you understand?"

Yaxiu saw the worry in An Nan's eyes and immediately realized something: "Is it because of the Assassination List?"

"That's right." An Nan said, "Banji is the second on the Assassination List, and he is also the echoer that was invalidated by you. The Yisu royal family is very likely to send someone to imitate you and assassinate Banji, thus realizing the future woven by the Assassination List, just like Helephis and Rogge on the Evil Mage List... It is too dangerous to leave Banji alone, and he must have a magician to accompany him no matter what."

"Sorry," the blue-haired butler lowered his head in shame, "I'm holding you back..."

"The Isu royal family will definitely not dare to kill me in order to maintain the credibility of the gospel, so as long as I stay with Panji, their people will not dare to show up and kill people!" Yaxiu completely understood: "You guys work hard to earn money, and leave the housework to me!"

Although this is true, for some reason it sounds quite strange coming from Ash's mouth...

After breakfast, the funeral group split into two teams. Before they separated, Igula stopped Ash and asked, "Have you not thought about your life plan after the Weaving Festival?"

"It's not that there is no——"

"That means no." The fraudster paused and said, "If you are interested, you can come and help me."

"Help you?" Ash blinked: "I don't know how to lie and I don't like to lie--"

"I'm not interested in letting you mess up my business." Igula glanced at the white-haired little girl and said, "You just need to find a place to settle down with Liz, right? You just need to stay at home and learn magic. You don't need to do anything."

"So good?" Ash became alert: "You don't have any intentions, do you?"

"...I actually like Liz quite a bit." Igula glanced to the upper right: "I can't just watch her and you continue to wander around, right? Although I won't become rich just starting out, it's more than enough to support the two of you."

"That's true. Who wouldn't like Liz who's so cute?" Ash nodded in agreement. "I never thought that one day I would have to rely on my daughter's cuteness to support my family... Then I will accept this kindness with peace of mind!"

…

…

After saying goodbye to the working team, Ash and the others returned to the hotel room. Then the three of them, one in blue, one in black and one in white, looked at each other until Ash made a gesture of rubbing the handle.

Banji understood what he meant and took out an old game console and a whole box of game cartridges from his suitcase, projected them onto the wall and started playing.

"Lis, you have to complete today's "Essay Basic Education" study task before you can play games!"

"How can I learn when you guys are playing around?"

"That makes sense," Ash thought for a moment, "Then I'll study with you in the afternoon, and you're not allowed to be lazy."

"good!"

The three of them spent the entire morning happily playing classic games from the old days in the room, and Banji, who had a melancholy expression, gradually smiled.

When Ash lost nine games in a row to Panji in "Wizard Duel 14", he wailed and put down his controller, saying, "Case solved. I definitely didn't kill you for some bullshit reason like you assassinated the Queen. It must be because you abused me so badly that I just found a random excuse to take revenge!"

"To be honest, I find it hard to believe that you would kill me, Mr. Ash." Panji laughed, "It feels like imagining a Mr. Harvey who hates corpses, or Mrs. Qinna who likes to act like a spoiled child."

Ash blinked, "You're not hinting at anything, are you?"

"Of course not," Panji picked up the teacup and drank tea: "It's just that if you are with the young lady in the future, please try to stay away from Madam Qinna."

"The gospel is all made up, you worry too much, Panji." Ash smiled and shook his head: "Besides, you know your young lady has a secret wish in her heart. Feelings are just seasoning for her, and ideals are her main course... Men will only affect her progress."

He stood up and said, "It's almost lunch time. I'll go downstairs to the restaurant and pack it up."

"Thank you for your help."

Liz patted her butt and stood up and said, "I'm going back to my room to use the bathroom!"

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Banji stood up and glanced at the underground city outside the window. Although it was noon, the underground city without a day and night system was obviously still Night City.

Panji knew that in the near future, not only Nabistim, but the entire Gospel would undergo a dramatic change because of Funeral's actions, and the fate of countless people would take a 180-degree turn. But he was powerless to change it, and he was unwilling to interfere.

He is Dolan's butler and is loyal to the will of the funeral.

Now, he just wanted to enjoy a few more days of peaceful daily life and then melt silently in the water like ice.

As they were going to eat soon, the blue-haired housekeeper went to the bathroom to wash his hands. Suddenly, the water from the faucet stopped, the light in the bathroom flickered, and at the same time, the sound of the door hinge turning came from outside.

But he didn't hear any footsteps.

Banji raised his head and saw from the mirror a man wearing a dark red windbreaker and a mask appearing outside the door.
