"Tawa, you know that you don't need to use this kind of clothes, right?"

Regardless of whose fault was, Yale wasn't comfortable seeing a child in maid's clothes.

"I love these clothes, master. I already spoke about this before. Grandpa Tofesh, you also heard it, right?"

Tofesh still felt uncomfortable being called like that by Tawa, but since he created her with Yale's help and then Yale forged her again several times, it wasn't wrong that Tawa considered him a grandfather.

"Yes, but I also agree that you look strange in those clothes."

Tofesh had already heard Yale, and Tawa spoke about that matter before, so he felt that Yale was just repeating the topic, but he agreed that Tawa looked too strange with that outfit.

"Master and grandpa are too mean. I have been learning from the maids in this palace, and they praise me a lot."

Tawa didn't act like a maid at all, at most as a little girl playing to be a maid, so the other maids felt that she was cute and helped her. Tawa just awakened her spirit recently, so she was really just a kid despite her enormous strength.

After all, Awat tried to influence her before she awakened a spirit, but the level he could influence was too small, so besides the fact that Tawa liked those clothes, she had nothing else that could make her a maid despite Awat's plans.

"Big sister, tell them something."

Lar also praised Tawa a lot, but it was mainly because she felt the situation fun. She never expected to have a little sister that would like to act like a maid, so she decided to enjoy the situation instead of worrying about it.

"You are a very cute maid, but they are your father and grandfather, so they wanted to see you act more like a little girl instead than acting as a maid."

Although Lar liked the situation, she wanted to make Yale happy, so she decided to speak a bit for him.

Strictly speaking, Yale was really Tawa's father since he was the one who forged her again several times, but for a weapon spirit, a master was more important than a father.

"I am a weapon spirit. I exist to serve my master. Acting like my master's daughter would be a huge disrespect for him."

Although Tawa said that, her face showed that she was struggling to do it. She wasn't really feeling like that, but she didn't want to fail as a maid.

"Wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are a weapon spirit, but that doesn't change that you are my daughter. You can stop playing the role of a maid whenever you want and just act like my daughter, alright? Weapon spirits aren't slaves, you are part of my family. Just look at Lar, she acts as she pleases without a problem, don't restrain yourself by a role, I want you to be happy."

Yale patted Tawa's head while speaking, but Tawa just turned back and rushed to outside the room while faintly saying some words.

"I have work to do..."

She was really confused by what she thought that was her duty and what Yale said, so she fled unable to understand what to do.

Yale knew that Tawa was confused, but he also knew that Awat was at fault for putting strange thoughts in her mind.

He had already scheduled a beating for Awat once the matter with the invasion was finished.

Yale was extremely protective of his family, and as he said, weapon spirits were still his family, so Yale was angry that Awat corrupted her with strange thoughts.

The other people in the room observed the scene without saying anything. Most of them wondered how great it would be if their weapons developed spirit, but after seeing how Yale treated Lar and Tawa, they understood that without caring so much for their weapons, they would never awaken a spirit.

However, most of them doubted that they could love a weapon as their own children like Yale did.

Yale noticed the strange gazes of the others, but before he could speak, a maid rushed into the room.

"Master Liye, the Smuggler Association contacted us and wanted to speak with you."

Yale knew about the existence of the Smuggler association, but he didn't understand why they wanted to speak with him.

"I will speak here. I am not in the mood for secret meetings right now."

Yale had yet to understand what was happening in that timeline, so he didn't feel like wasting time in a private meeting with the Smuggler Association. Moreover, he didn't like the Smuggler Association too much.

The maid didn't seem surprised by Yale's reply, and immediately a screen appeared in the air showcasing the person of the Smuggler Association.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, boss. I am the previous leader of the Smuggler Association. Now, everything is ready, you are officially in charge of the whole Smuggler Association, we all will obey your orders."

That was even more unexpected than Tawa's spirit awakening.

He didn't know since when he had turned into the boss of the Smuggler Association.

"Master Liye is really amazing. His first contact with the Smuggler Association was pretty recent, and he already turned into the boss. Well, I guess that as expected of Master Liye."

The Emperor kept the way to contact the Smuggler Association after killing the traitor, but he never used it.

However, when Yale asked to use it, the Emperor didn't expect them to become Yale's subordinates.

Of course, all the big shots of the Smuggler Association needed to speak about it, so officially, Yale couldn't obtain it immediately, but the reply had been far faster than everyone expected.

Yale was incredibly famous, and the problems he had with independent smugglers in the past were well-known by some Great Gods and the Smuggler Association itself.

They definitely couldn't be on Yale's bad side, so they decided that it was better to lose their independence and start serving Yale.

After all, serving a member of the Council of Gods who also obtained at least the Minor Time Divinity was a huge honor.

"Boss, as you ordered, we stopped all the illegal activities, and we are focusing on gathering information. We are still expecting that you convince the Council of Gods to legalize our operations."

It was that promise which made that everything was so easy. Only an old monster of the Council of Gods or someone like Yale had enough reputation for making the other members of the Council of Gods approve something like that.

With so many people trying to be on Yale's good side for resurrecting issues, it wouldn't be difficult that his request was approved.

If the Smuggler Association changed into a legal business that no one else could do legally, it wasn't difficult to guess how proper they would be.

"We are also expecting to meet that person to manage the association. You trust her a lot, so we are expecting great things from that person."

Even without understanding the situation, Yale could guess that somehow, he pushed Julie to the position without asking her, but he was sure that she would love it.

As for how his past self had such an idea, Yale couldn't understand it.

In fact, that matter wasn't Yale's fault. The Smuggler Association sold information about Alrein's universe, so Great God Kroh just needed to randomly mention something about how much doomed were those who plotted against that universe were to make the word spread that Yale was deeply related to that universe.

Thus, when Yale wanted more information about implicated universes, and the Emperor suggested contacting the Smuggler Association, all the information was ready to be delivered to Yale since they predicted that such a situation was likely to happen, and they needed to clean their name.

He liked the way he obtained so much valuable information and joked about obtaining the Smuggler Association for himself, which somehow, in the end, turned into something serious, and he really obtained it.

Great God Kroh just wanted to mess up the things a bit to see Yale's reaction, but even without the matter of the Smuggler Association, he found that the unexpected changes on the timeline for Yale were already pretty fun.

"She is still in Alrein's universe. Wait until the universe finishes its isolation."

The previous leader of the smuggler association nodded immediately since he already knew about that.

Someone from that universe meant that it wouldn't be too strong, but as someone who managed the Smuggler Association, he knew that in business strength was needed as a backing, but for management, it really didn't matter.

"When you have some news, contact me directly. If I don't want to speak with you, I will just ignore you. In that case, just try later. Understood?"

Although Yale didn't show the slightest respect to the previous leader of the Smuggler Association, that was the attitude he expected of Yale, so he wasn't surprised at all.

"Understood."

When looking into the system, Yale discovered that there was a list with the universes that asked the Smuggler Association for information about Alrein's universe.

In fact, he noticed that the whole past of that timeline was also registered there, so he started to investigate it.

The real method should have been using the Minor Time Divinity to obtain those memories, but the system recoding functions had been useful to skip it.
