“Huh?”


  Mag’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect there would be two reproductive crayfish among those caught by these demon fishermen. They could be considered as a bonus.

  The core of the crayfish-catching mission was to catch that 100 reproductive crayfish. If he could catch all 100 of them in advance, he wouldn’t have to catch the rest of the 300,000 crayfish, and the mission would be considered completed.

  “I will be purchasing the crayfish for 50 copper coins each for the long term. You can deliver the crayfish to my restaurant directly whenever you catch them. I will purchase them collectively at 8am and 4.30pm. I won’t accept if you deliver them at other timings. The restaurant’s address……”


  Mag told the fishermen the restaurant’s address. As he factored in the time and effort needed to go to the port to purchase the crayfish, he decided to let the fishermen deliver the goods directly to him at the restaurant.

  Regarding that, the fishermen didn’t have any objections. They only wanted to return to the beach to look for more crayfish after collecting their money. The price of 50 copper coins each was enough to make the fishermen crazy.

  Mag found a strapping demon to help him carry the 300 crayfish back by paying him 20 copper coins.

  “Are we going to start selling crayfish by noon?” Irina asked Mag as she watched him pour the crayfish into the big pond at the corner of the yard.

  “Yes. I estimate there would be an endless supply of crayfish coming to us. The pond wouldn’t be able to accommodate them if I don’t start selling them.” Mag nodded. The 300 crayfish took out almost half of the pond—after all, they were about 1 kg each.

  “Are you able to manage on your own?” Irina asked doubtfully. After all, they had so many service staff members at Mamy Restaurant.

  “This is indeed a problem.” Mag was taken aback, and he looked at Irina.

  “I’ve never served people. I’m afraid I will act up as soon as they speak,” Irina said calmly. “But if you think I could, I don’t mind giving it a try.”


  “Let’s forget it. You just be the lady boss who collects the money.” Mag quickly rejected her. Given Irina’s temperament, if she acted up, it would be a bloodbath, and the restaurant would be out of business.

  “Hey, what’s that?” Amy, who was running around in the yard with Ugly Duckling, suddenly pointed at a fake mountain decoration in a corner of the yard.

  Mag and Irina looked over that simultaneously. An edge of a dress appeared behind the rock and quickly went back.

  “Come out,” Irina ordered coldly.

  After a moment of silence, a thin and weak figure stood up in the midst of the fake mountains. She was wearing a long black shirt with an uneven black cloth wrapped around her face. Her clothes were dyed brownish-red by blood, and she was grasping a razor-sharp stone with her muddy hands. Her entire body was trembling.

  “She is?” Mag found that unicorn demon maiden a little familiar.

  “What are you doing here?” Irina asked that unicorn demon coldly with a hint of surprise in her gaze too. Wasn’t that the demon maiden that she’d rescued in the morning?

  Jane looked at Irina, and the fear in her eyes was replaced by astonishment. What a beautiful demoness. She had never seen such a beautiful demon. Even the most beautiful succubus big sister wasn’t even 10% as beautiful as this big sister.

  But she soon regained her wits to realize her current situation. She could be killed immediately for home invasion on Carapace Island. The Ten Kings Palace wouldn’t care about someone like her who wasn’t from a powerful tribe and was without an identity.

  After that incident in the morning, she had been running around in a panic. She encountered the Ten Kings Palace’s patrol team when she was in this area, and she ran into this courtyard to hide in her trepidation. She had intended to leave after the patrol team was gone, but she didn’t expect the owners would return and discover her.

  Jane lowered her head and said, “I-I am Jane, a unicorn demon. I’ve entered your courtyard accidentally and offended you. I promise I meant no harm, please forgive my transgression.”


  She was still grasping the stone tightly. She at least had to resist if someone tried to kill her.

  “You have killed a demon?” Irina asked her coldly.

  “I-I didn’t……” Jane’s face paled instantly. Facing Irina’s cold gaze, she shook her head, and said in a choked up voice, “I didn’t kill them. They were trying to violate me. I don’t know who killed them. I didn’t see his looks, but I’m very grateful to him. He saved me.”


  “It’s her?” Mag only remembered her at that moment. This demon maiden was the one that Irina had saved that morning. However, he only had taken a brief glance in the morning, and hadn’t taken a closer look. He hadn’t expected to see her at home again.

  “Do you need to be so afraid over the killing of some demon scum? So what if you had killed them?” A faint smile appeared on Irina’s face, and she began to look at Jane with interest in her eyes. This girl was rather interesting. Although she was pathetically weak, she wasn’t an ungrateful demon.

  “B-but they all had protective amulets on them. If the Ten Kings Palace found out about me, they’re not going to let me off…… even when I’m not the murderer,” Jane said fearfully. To her, the Ten Kings Palace was the scariest and most powerful force in this world.

  “They’re scum protected by scum. So what if they’re killed.” Irina shook her head, and said to Jane, “Take the cloth off your face and let me have a look.”


  Jane wasn’t used to Irina’s words. The Ten Kings Palace was the absolute ruler on Carapace Island, but this beautiful big sister was afraid of them at all. However, looking at Irina, she had an unexplainable sense of trust in her. She removed the tattered cloth on her face after some hesitation.

  There was blood and minor cuts on her face, but they could still see her pretty features. Her shoulder-length silver hair was matted by blood too. There was a light golden horn about 5 cm long with pinkish-gold swirls, which looked very exquisite, at the center of her forehead.

  “How old are you?” Irina asked.

  “13.”


  “Is there anyone else in your family?”


  “My mother died 10 days ago…… I have no family left……”


  “Are you a fast worker?”


  “I’m very fast when I’m picking the seashells. I’m faster than everyone.”


  Irina nodded with satisfaction before saying, “Very good. Then you will stay here. You’re the employee of our restaurant from today onwards. You will be provided with food, lodging, and salary.”


  “Huh?”


  Both Jane and Mag were taken aback.

  “Stay? I can stay here, and I will be provided with food and salary?” Jane looked at Irina and felt as if she had heard things wrong. This beautiful big sister didn’t pursue her crime of trespassing, and she was going to take her in instead?

  “And the recruitment is completed just like this?” Mag was secretly stunned too. As the boss, he didn’t even get the chance to speak. He had lost a great deal of his power of speech.

  “This is fantastic. I’ve gained another big sister,” Amy said happily.
