After a busy day, Master Ai returned home and was ready to take a good rest and feel the warm embrace of the fire prevention girl.
However, someone got there before Ash.
"What are you doing!!!"
When Ash opened the door, he originally expected to be greeted by the warm greetings of the fire prevention girl, just like at the Fire Sacrifice.
But what appeared in front of him was the fireproof girl sitting on the sofa, holding Ares in her arms with tears streaming down her face.
Bad thoughts appeared in his mind for a moment, but they were quickly driven away by Ash.
Ares also stopped crying when he saw Ash coming in, left the fireproof girl's arms, and went to the bathroom to sort out his makeup.
"What happened while I was away?"
"I comforted a wandering soul, Lord Ashes."
According to the fireproof girl, Ares's soul is lonely, always wandering, and always looking for support. Just like the time when she lost her eyes.
But Ash knew that the fire-proof girl had lost more than just her eyes. What she had lost was her betrayal of a world where fire was no longer around.
'As long as there is a faint light, you will see the terrible betrayal.'
This is what the fireproof girl said to Ash, and Ash also keeps it in mind. Ash is willing to back up the fireproof girl's betrayal of Flame.
After Ares finished tidying up and returned to the living room, he returned to his cool self.
"The mission is over, you can leave."
After hearing Ash's words, Ares subconsciously looked at the fireproof girl. In less than a day, she found the support of her soul. But now she is leaving.
Ares's movements were a little heavy and a little slow. She was prolonging every second of contact with the fireproof girl.
"Lord Ashes, as the fire prevention maiden of the Fire Sacrifice, I need a maid."
The maid of the Fire Sacrifice was originally one of the chief priests of Lothric City, and she was the same person as Emma, the priest before the Oath Basin, but for some reason she arrived at the Fire Sacrifice, and now she has something to do with Ludos.
Unclear.
Hearing that the fireproof girl needed a maid, Ares's eyes lit up and he quickly spoke dumbly towards Ash and the fireproof girl.
Ash understands what the Fireproof Woman means, and now letting Ares return to her previous life will push her into the abyss again.
"I can do it, I'll serve the fire prevention lady."
This was the dumb word that Ares made. After finishing the gesture, he waited for the decision of Ash and the Fireproof Girl.
Ash took out a dagger with a hidden blue light and handed it to Ares and said: "Take it and show your determination."
Holding the dagger, Ares was at a loss. She didn't know what determination Ash asked her to show. Looking at the dagger in her hand, she was ready to stab herself.
Just when Ares had this idea, a blue crystal blade extended from the dagger, and a blue crystal lightsaber appeared in her hand.
[Blue Orb Dagger: A dagger embedded with blue orb crystals. It may be an item given as a gift before embarking on the journey. The sword is engraved with ancient words blessing a safe journey. Combat Skill: Crystal Blade: Can release the hidden blue orb.
The magic power of the sword temporarily creates a blue crystal blade. The blade is long enough to be wielded as a straight sword.】
Because the blue orb dagger has magic power inside it and has been strengthened by Ash's blessing, those who meet the conditions for use only need to have the will to use it and can continue to use it.
Holding the dagger and staring blankly at the crystal blade, Ares suddenly realized that this was the determination he showed.
The fireproof girl covered her mouth and smiled, pulling Ares, who was still standing there, aside to whisper. From then on, there was one more person in the family.
'I was acting cool just now, but I didn't get a ride in the car. Now I am acting cool, and my wife has been kidnapped?'
The original date with the fire-proof girl was interrupted by Reise, and now there is another person in the family who competes with him to compete for the fire-proof girl. Ash is really in trouble.
Fortunately, he bought a bottle of wine worth six thousand pounds from the nightclub, which could barely comfort Ash's broken heart. But after looking at the empty wine rack, Ash still stuffed the bottle of wine back into his backpack.
‘It’s nothing to have a bottle of wine in the entire wine rack. I’ll stop by Kassel later.’
Having made up his mind, Ash silently praised himself, praising that he was indeed a man who knew how to live a good life.
The only advantage of having a permanent resident at home is that someone will drive when you go out.
But after Ares moved in, Ash would be stared at by this girl with contempt at certain times every day.
"Fireproof Girl, can you explain to her that we don't need to eat! She looks at me like this at every meal time all day long. How guilty I am!"
Ash and the Fireproof Girl were sitting at the unused dining table, enjoying the food brought by Ares.
The fireproof girl elegantly cut a piece of food from the plate in front of her and put it into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it.
"Lord Ashes, the taste of the food is indeed as wonderful as you said."
Although the fireproof girl's words were stating the facts, in the eyes of Ares who still didn't know the truth, Ash was just a bastard who didn't give the fireproof girl food.
'Gwen, let's do something. I really can't stay in this house any longer. Oh, Gwen was hacked to death by me, so that's okay.'
Under Ares' disdainful eyes, Ash spent the meal sitting on pins and needles. At this moment, the phone in the living room rang, and Ash quickly ran to answer the phone.
"Hey, this is Ash, yes, okay, okay, got it."
Ash put down the phone and stroked the beard on his chin. He really didn't expect that the killers would do such a good job in their side jobs.
Some time ago, Ash was at the Fire Sacrifice. During the chat, he reached a deal with Jane Smith for her husband, John Smith, to modernize the Fire Sacrifice.
According to Ash's request, the sacrificial site needs to rebuild the waterproofing and drainage system so that the sacrificial site is not so humid. It is also necessary to install hidden light sources so that the sacrificial site does not rely on candles for illumination.
All this is based on the fact that the building of the sacrificial site cannot be altered or destroyed in the slightest.
Ash originally thought that this change would take several months to complete, but he didn't expect to call him today and ask him to check it out.
'Do the killers all have good side jobs? Wolfe is an accountant and Smith is a construction contractor...'
In the memory of his previous life, Ash also remembered some legends about the killer's side job.
It is said that those Internet writers who stop updating every six months are killers with secret identities. In order to avoid being investigated for being unemployed, they usually use Internet writers to hide their identities.
The killer's business is not available all the time. For safety reasons, they will wait a long time before accepting an order.
When I get a job as a killer, I stop updating to go to work. I will continue to update the novel as long as I can come back. For those who can't come back, I will naturally stop updating.
"Sure enough, the competitive pressure in all walks of life is great, and killers have to complete side jobs to make money."
