Chapter 09 Chapter 9
Yumi was a little hungry, so he ate a fig and watched some videos of the hole-drilling competition while eating to learn in advance.
Just as I was watching intently, the computer rang again. It was a video call invitation from a new account.
I clicked it suspiciously, and saw the same face I saw not long ago again!
Yumi frowned and pretended to hang up.
"Don't do that yet!" The other party eagerly attached a copy of his ID card and an officially certified account on social media with the same name "Karl". "I'm really not a liar!" He hurriedly held up a photo. "Did you meet this person yesterday?"
Yumi's expression changed slightly.
The photo shows the monster that followed me yesterday and whose name I could even call out.
"Who...are you?"
Karl: "This matter involves the royal family, and we need to talk to you in person. Don't worry. As the chief secretary of the crown prince..." As he spoke, he suddenly found that the other party's little hand was about to press the fraud option again, and hurriedly stopped him, "If you are really worried! We will go to see you now!"
After saying that, the call was terminated.
Yumi was stunned and thought to herself, as expected.
Fortunately, he had seen through these tricks. The monster made a lot of noise yesterday, so it was not surprising that someone accidentally saw it. Maybe the other party was using this incident to defraud... If his savings were swindled away, he would be left with nothing.
After watching the video of drilling a hole, Yumi felt hungrier and hungrier, so she decided to cook for herself today since she was unemployed.
He took out a chopping board, washed and cut vegetables at the door, and finally set up a small stove to start cooking noodles.
This is the cooking kit I bought at an internal price after I saw from Vera last week that they designed a real and usable puppet kitchen to make the props realistic.
Yumi made a small bowl of tomato and egg noodles. It was hot and delicious. When she was halfway through the meal, a mechanical sound came from the sky, approaching.
?
When he looked up, the aircraft in the air had already landed on the open space in front.
The security guard noticed the unusual movement earlier than Yumi. He rushed over and asked loudly, but before he got close, he was frightened by two rows of men in black walking out.
The man in black showed his ID to the security guard, whose face changed drastically and he retreated back to the security booth almost in awe.
Here, after Yumi noticed those people showing their IDs, her hands holding the bowl began to sweat.
He quickly thought of what Vera had said in the morning... After being noticed, would his work in the black market be exposed? Although Vera said that employees would not be held accountable, what if...
Yumi's head was buzzing. When she thought about being imprisoned on an alien planet, she was so nervous that she couldn't eat. She didn't dare to look over there. But in order to appear less guilty, she lowered her head and continued to eat noodles even though her hands were shaking.
Carl walked out of the aircraft with steady steps, his eyes quickly locked on a small wooden cabin not far away.
On the wooden board, the small, pretty Sna alien was eating noodles with a small bowl. He ate very slowly. Despite the loud noise here, he didn't even look at it and just lowered his head to eat the noodles.
Carl was stunned for a moment, and was so adorable by the scene that he didn't know what to do.
This was his first official meeting with Yumi. As the prince's secretary, he suppressed the urge to take crazy photos around the little guy, walked straight to him, and bowed respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Yumi, I am Carl!"
Yumi was daydreaming when she realized the voice sounded familiar and slowly looked up.
In order to make it easier for him to see himself clearly, Karl squatted down in a friendly manner and said, "Do you believe now that I am not a bad person?"
Yumi's mouth opened slightly.
This person was the man who had a video call with him not long ago and claimed to be the prince's secretary.
Yumi's mouth opened wider and wider.
The security guard's awed reaction, the black-clad man's ID, and the aircraft with the Imperial logo... everything pointed to the same answer.
"You are really the prince's secretary," he put down the bowl and thought hard, "Did you find the wrong person?"
Karl looked at his physique and shook his head: “Others may make mistakes, but you will never be wrong.”
“…”
Yumi: "I don't know you at all."
"This is not the place to talk, please follow me."
Yumi followed him suspiciously into the aircraft, where there was a space similar to a small conference room.
Karl asked him to sit down and made him tea.
Yumi took a sip and then put down the cup that could be used as a kettle.
Karl apologized, “I came in a hurry and forgot to change to the small cup I customized for you.”
Yumi shook her head and smiled, "I'm not that small. I can use all the cups."
Karl inhaled, covered his chest, turned around, and opened a video for him to watch.
Yumi was stunned.
The video shows the monster he encountered yesterday.
However, the situation was far more terrifying than yesterday. The monster seemed to have entered a state of violence in a certain base, with incredible destructive power. Countless Sna people wearing armor and transformed back into monster forms were unable to do anything to him. In the end, he was stopped by a specially made iron cage.
This should be a picture taken by a drone. The distance to the monster is very close, so the sense of oppression is very real. Yumi even feels like he is watching a horror movie.
"This is His Royal Highness Crown Prince Anxius. He was seriously injured in the interstellar battle a year ago and lost his ability to transform into a human, but this can be solved by wearing a humanoid suit. The biggest problem now is that after becoming disabled, His Royal Highness Anxius always goes into a violent state without warning, and it is difficult for him to control himself like before... However, yesterday, we unexpectedly discovered that His Royal Highness Anxius seemed to be able to control himself from going into a violent state while taking care of you, so we need to hire you!"
Yumi said, “Ah.” “… Yesterday was it taking care of me?”
Karl smiled and said, “He buys clothes for you and helps you collect the waste you need. Isn’t this caring?”
"But……"
"We are serious about hiring you to be taken care of by His Highness Anxius," Carl said seriously. "Mr. Yumi, you can try to understand it this way - just like drug research and development, you can treat all this as a drug clinical trial. After all, the prince is indeed a little dangerous, but don't worry, we will do our best to ensure your safety... You may have adverse reactions during the care, such as being frightened? But your life will definitely not be in danger. Although you are the one being taken care of, you have made a huge contribution to us, so you deserve to be paid, and we will repay you according to the highest salary for this type of work."
Yumi's eyes widened.
Seeing that he did not refuse, Karl took out the contract and handed it over with both hands: “This is the contract. If you think there is something unreasonable, we can change it at any time.”
Yumi opened it and looked through it blankly.
The contract clearly states that the job requires working five days a week and having two days off, and it also provides all the benefits expected of a job on Sna Star, as well as separate housing.
His position is a bit strange:
——Little darling of the empire.
Karl explained gently: "It sounds reasonable for the Imperial Prince to take care of the Imperial baby, right?"
Seeing that Yumi didn't say anything for a long time, Carl asked again: "Do you have any other concerns? We will try our best to solve them for you."
Yumi looked down at the contract and asked quietly, "If the experiment fails and the prince doesn't get better...will I go to jail?"
After all, he knew the secrets of the royal family.
Karl paused, trying hard to hold back his laughter and said, "No! Of course not! Whether the result is good or bad, we need to face it. As for the royal secrets, we have a confidentiality clause. You just need to not tell anyone."
Yumi closed her open mouth and said, "...Okay, wait a moment."
Carl nodded and waited for him to think it over.
Such a big thing really requires careful consideration.
But then, Carl saw the little guy in front of him turn on the light brain and click on a software called "Contract King". Carl knew that this software was used by most Sna people when they were looking for a job and did not have a private lawyer to prevent being cheated. The software would prompt some traps in the contract, but in many cases, it was very stupid.
For example, at this time——
“Cannot identify the maintenance contract!”
Hearing this, Yumi was horrified: "This, this..."
Karl was sweating all over in an instant: “No, no, no!”
He quickly opened his computer and found the software, and immediately recharged the highest level of membership. He quickly scanned the contract and said, "Mr. Yumi, there is a problem with your version. Try this one!"
Sure enough, the other party's report this time was different: "Identification has been completed, there is no problem with the labor contract! Please feel free to work!"
Yumi: “…”
Without money, it's really difficult to move forward.
…
At night, in the empty and silent palace, there was only a dim light coming through a screen.
On the huge light screen, a variety show called "Exchange Lives" is being played over and over again, but this version is a little different.
In the picture, there is only one small figure standing on the music box. Even if there are other people, they will be completely blocked by the ugly mosaic...
In front of the light screen is a huge monster that is staring intently.
The villain began to pose and the monster's pupils shrank slightly.
The villain smiled at the camera and the monster's wings fluttered.
The little man ran and jumped with the cake, and the monster began to crawl closer...
When Carl knocked on the door and came in, His Highness Ansius, who was always cold and strict, was watching the Yumi cut version of "Exchange Lives" while quickly folding a pile of newly bought doll costumes.
His steps paused, and then the other party's terrifying gaze turned to him, looking at him sinisterly.
Karl's hair stood on end, and he said hurriedly: "He, he has agreed that you take care of him!"
The monster froze, and a creepy hoarse sound came out of its mouth: "Ho...ho..."
After a while, he lowered his head again and continued to fold the small clothes. After he finished folding them, he walked out with the clothes.
That night, a starship took off from above the imperial palace in the capital and flew all the way to a private estate in the suburbs.
The next day, early morning.
While washing up, Yumi glanced at Carl who was coming to pick her up.
His luggage was packed last night, and Lin En helped him pack it. As it was related to the royal family, Yumi only said that he had changed to a confidential job. Lin En asked a lot of questions, and Yumi used some documents provided by Carl to reassure him.
When Lin En saw the government logo on the document, he thought he was going to a factory far away, so he told him to call him to let him know he was safe when he arrived.
After washing up, Yumi locked the small wooden door and followed Karl out. When she passed Lily's downstairs, an anxious voice suddenly came from above: "Mimi! Where are you going?"
He looked up.
Lily and his parents were watching him from the window.
Lily was curious, but the two adults were a little worried.
Yumi replied, "I'm going to work!"
Lily's parents also vaguely guessed his job through the security guard's recounting of yesterday's events. Like Lin En, they thought he was going to work at a distant base or factory based on the aircraft logo.
Normal base recruitment will not pick up and drop off workers. Only remote bases with harsh environments will have this kind of treatment...
Lily's parents waved at him: "Yumi, take care of yourself and don't be stubborn!"
Yumi nodded, his hair fluttering in the morning breeze, revealing his smooth forehead, and his small body seemed to be pushed forward by the wind.
The sun poured down, and the figure carrying the small suitcase quickly disappeared in front of the cabin door.
The sky was clear and the aircraft started up quickly and left the residential area in a short while.
Yumi was arranged by Carl to have breakfast in a lounge area equipped with many mini objects.
Yumi's mind was full of prospects for his new job, and now it was his first time riding in an aircraft, which made him very excited.
Yumi had no appetite at all. She just ate a little fruit and then lay in front of the glass window, looking out, her eyes full of exploration of this unknown world.
Not far away, Carl couldn't help it and took out his camera to take several photos!
So, so, so cute!
This was taken for His Highness Ansius, it is not my own selfish motive!!!
After a while, the aircraft began to slow down and a prompt appeared that it was about to land.
Yumi sat down quickly. He leaned close to the window and glanced down quietly, taking a breath subconsciously.
It was an exceptionally spectacular private estate.
Obviously, this is the royal base where he conducted the "Crown Prince Experiment".
Yumi raised his hand and smoothed the three-piece suit on his body. After the cabin door slowly opened, he picked up his small suitcase, stood up and walked out carefully.
