"Do you understand?"

Yura clicked her tongue while waving a paper in front of her hired assassins. They stared, dumbstruck at the image before them.

"This young man is the new popular performer ?" Seiya asked.

"A pity. I like him too" one of his companion sighed.

"Shut up ! He's just a menace that managed to get into the entertainment circle by seducing Eliza ! I should've known!" Yura yelled.

Even though Seiya didn't want to do this, a job is a job. Supporting his family is more important. After all, this one pays higher than assassinating a noble.

"He has quite the strong backer, isn't that right?" Seiya cupped his chin with his fingers, deep in thought. A performer who has the backup of the newly favored Earl is ridiculous.

"I don't know where he got that Earl, if i'm much earlier, i could've gotten that earl too! He must've seduced that man !" Yura yelled again, her eyes fierce with determination.

Seiya's companion could only stare at their employer with widened eyes. Seiya sighed, he and Rick has gotten a crazy and delusional employer.

"I want your first task to be to catch that menace's backer ! Nobles are just rich people with no fighting whatsoever ! They are just a fat black bellied member of society ! It'll do you good to bring that new Earl to me so i can teach him some common sense, in which, he must pick me and throw away that little shit! That, that BUG !"

Yura's face is red and her eyes darkened. Her knuckles turned white as blood slowly poured out of the wound where she clenched her fist too tight. Shame, that her nails got bloodied.

"Do you, by any chance, have a picture of Elijah's employer ?" Rick asked exasperatedly.

"Huh? Dunno. I don't really care for his ugly backer. Ha! Bet he's used to warm the Earl's bed every night ! And also ! Don't use that menace's name in my vicinity! It's disgusting!"

"...partner, we should go" Rick tugged his partner's jacket sleeve while sighing at their new employer.

"...let's go" Seiya nodded. "Miss, i believe we should hurry" he said.

Yura's eyes brightened, she clapped her hands eagerly while grinning.

"Of course~ Of course~ off you go ! Come back safely!"

( う-')づ

Seiya and Rick parted ways as they tried to search for the new Earl. It is said that the new Earl is quite handsome from what he has heard.

This new Earl's name is System Happy. When Seiya heard the name, he choked on his own spit.

System? And Happy? Who in the name of all that's holy, named this man, System Happy?!

Seiya knew beforehand this Kingdom's weird naming sense since he found out that his uncle is named Shimmer. But now, System Happy?

After tailing the man, Seiya found out that he's too happy to be true ! It's gotta be fake somehow !

Thus he tailed the man for a few more days until System Happy noticed it.

More like, System Happy noticed it ages ago and decided to entertain his stalker.

One eye contact and Seiya's life is doomed.

Eventually, System Happy led Seiya in a dark alley. He tapped Seiya's forehead and the man fell to System Happy's embrace.

"Don't worry, i'll take care of you and your partner~"

When System Happy came back home with two unconscious assassins, El winced. He knew that Yura will send some assassins on his way. He's prepared for this, but alas, his doting System knew of this and decided that confronting them is a good idea.

"So what do we do now ?" El asked, hands on his hips as he stared at System Happy who calmly sipped his tea.

"Well, you know... They really don't want to kill you..." System Happy murmured.

"Alright. But if we let them go , Yura will find them again eventually. And Hire them again even if they are reluctant. After all, they are an A ranked assassins right?"

"Hm~" System Happy furrowed his eyebrows. "This guy takes the job of an assassin because that way, he can support his family..." System Happy pointed at Seiya.

"And this one is his partner in crime, loyal and understanding. He chose to be an assassin because it pays higher than most jobs. So, in conclusion, the both of them suffered lots of financial problems. Even though they are an A ranked assassins" System Happy continued, he pointed at Rick who is drooling.

El raised an eyebrow, finally catching up to System Happy's plan.

"You know, as soon as we finished the task, we'll leave the world and go to my space. The main task is to become a well known performer. Because you've performed in Cornucopia Hall with Maria Watson, Nathan Elson and Eliza McArbeth in the rookie featured section, you've gained 500 points. For the Sub mission, you've not gained 600 points yet. Meaning, you'll have to find a true love in all of this mess"

System Happy placed the cup of tea he's holding on the table and crossed his arms.

"So, i don't mind giving them all of my wealth"

El's eyes widened. He stared at his system as if System Happy has gained two more heads.

"I-" El gulped. He knew the man would do this, so he shifted the topic to a new one. Not discussing their endings in this world.

"True Love ? Is there something like a true love ?" El asked. He sat on a chair across System Happy who flashed him a smirk.

"You'll be surprised"

El laughed sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck.

"On another note, you've done an astounding job on impersonating Elijah's personality from that little summary of this world i gave you"

El's sheepish face turned cold. He narrowed his eyes at System Happy and sighed.

"I'm not usually this kind. Flashing smiles and all that. You know, i could've won an Oscar with my acting"

System Happy snickered he opened his eyes and smiled warmly at his host. To find out that his outer facade is that of an ice block this one year made him glad that his host trusted him so much that he sometimes dropped his mask in front of System Happy.

El stared at System Happy's eyes for a few moment. He pressed his lips and drummed his fingers on the wooden table.

"Why is your eyes... similar to that prince ?" El asked.

"Wow, this again. Reo asked me recently too~"

El opened his mouth and closed it again. He felt his heart unconsciously tightened when System Happy mentioned Reo's name.

The urge to kill came back. The first time, it was when System Happy was arranged to be Reo's teacher, the second was when Eliza was flirting very openly with System Happy.

He clenched his fist until it turned white and a smile bloomed on his face. He closed his eyes and laughed.

"O-oh. Then tell me your answer"

"We're not related by the way, i'm just connected to him" System Happy answered happily.

"Oh. Did you... tell His Highness, Prince Reo...that?"

Every second felt very suffocating to El. He dreaded System Happy's answer. He feels like, if the expected answer came out, he'll take that kitchen knife and rush out of his house for that prince.

Every word and second matters.

"No. Only you"

System Happy's answer makes El's head became more clear. He feels like his world has brightened once again. He unclenched his fist and his smile became more warm and sincere.

This made System Happy grin. "Your smile is super brilliant, El. Did i make you happy?"

El quickly removed the smile on his face and 'hmph'-ed. Ah, System Happy forgot that his host has the mainstream troupe in many romance story, the tsundere. The cold outside, warm inside.

So cute !

He reached out to pinch El's cheeks. "Are you jealous ? Hm ? This one is just doing his job after all~"

El sent a sharp glance at System Happy before slapping his hand away. "I'm going to sleep.."

"Hey~ why am i doing all the work?" System Happy pouted.

"There's no rules of not using you"

System Happy sweatdropped. "Well, you wouldn't know !"

El scoffed. "Because i know there isn't one"

"Then i'll check once we are finished !!" System Happy dragged the two unconscious assassins away into his space.

Once System Happy left, El made his way to the kitchen instead of sleeping. He grabbed a knife and a tomato.

El sliced the Tomato into two parts before cutting them into dices. He stopped for a moment before staring at the glistening knife before him.

He saw his reflection there smiling back at him and continued to slice an onion.

While cutting the onion, he accidentally cuts his finger a tiny bit.

"Ah.."

He stared at the blood pouring out of the wound for a moment. His eyes darkened as he proceeded to lick the blood.

"Yuck." He stuck his tongue out.

El wondered. When is the blood going to stop rolling out ?

Ah, where's System Happy when you need him-

"Pity. In this world there's no band-aids"

He wiped his wound on his clothes and continued to cut an onion into little pieces.

Still, he thought that the blood running down from his finger to the knife makes a pretty image.
