"More than anything, I need to find another Divine Artifact..."

Putting away the beer bottle, Yato looked full of woes and sorrows.

Beep beep beep beep—

Just then, a monotonous ringtone sounded, and he jerked up from the chair almost reflexively, swiftly grabbing his phone and answering: "Hello! Thank you for choosing this god. I am the fast, cheap, and reliable outsourcing god, Yato. Do you have a wish?"

"..."

"..."

There was silence on the other end, not knowing if it was because they hadn't digested it yet or were stunned by the introduction.

However, Yato wasn't worried about this, as he had seen such scenarios many times. Even if the other side felt bewildered or thought it was a novel setting, murmuring about the fierce competition in outsourcing services, they would ultimately not bicker with him and decide to choose him.

Because he is cheap enough, no matter the kind of commission, it only costs five yen each time, which is an unthinkable price.

Most people make the same choice, perhaps feeling that even if they are deceived, the loss is minimal, the small amount of money isn't heartbreaking even if lost on the way, and being cheated is the same, but if it's real... then they've struck it rich.

—Yato's pricing strategy, apart from cleverly utilizing the intent of forming ties, has another great advantage: in terms of competitiveness, those who find him will eventually facilitate a corresponding commission without needing to ponder thrice over.

Yato waited quietly for the other side to speak. After a few seconds, a clear voice emerged from the receiver:

"I saw your flyer, and it said that any wish can be fulfilled for just five yen, right?"

"That's right, that's right. Cheap and worry-free, this god is undoubtedly your best choice for value!" Yato nodded eagerly, switching to a business-friendly tone.

"So, I want to confirm, when you say fulfilling any wish, does that mean anything can be done... right?"

"Yes, yes, anything can be done! Just for five yen!"

Yato still subconsciously nodded repeatedly, blurting it out without a second thought. He had heard this kind of question many times, mostly just tentative probing from the other side, at most concerned that their commission might be too difficult and might not be accepted, rather than genuinely wanting to make some outrageous wish.

After all, most commissioners don't really believe what he says and naturally don't ponder what kind of prayer they should make to a god.

"I see..." The other side seemed to still be probing, "What about—murder?"

"..."

"..."

Yato's heart skipped a beat, and he froze, not sure if he was recalling some unpleasant memories. His expression became very strained, and after a few seconds, he forced a smile: "Hehe, you're joking, customer. What I meant was legitimate business transactions..."

"I see, so it's legitimate business, that puts my mind at ease, considering your rates are extremely cheap..."

The other side seemed to chuckle and then adopted a serious tone, "So, let me be direct. I'm a tourist who recently came to this city, but today, carelessly, all my luggage disappeared, even my passport and such were inside..."

"Oh oh..."

Yato refocused his attention, nodding as he listened, so is this why they approached him?

"I've already reported it to the police, but they said there's a high chance it won't be recovered. I know that, but I still want to search... However, I'm not familiar with this place, and the money I have is limited. I just happened to see your flyer, so I thought I would give it a try, since even if it's fake, there wouldn't be a significant loss."

The other side said this, finally giving a normal business commission, not really intending to inquire about murder services.

Yato breathed a slight sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, then showed a very friendly smile, and continued in an endlessly enthusiastic tone: "No problem, leave it to me. Could you please tell me, if there are any noticeable features of the luggage you lost, and approximately where it went missing..."

"Let me see..."

Half a minute later, with the call ended, Yato clenched his fist and, full of energy, swiftly turned and ran, ready to fulfill this commission.

Initially, he planned to find another Divine Artifact, as Ban Ying had just resigned, and without a handy Divine Artifact, many things were inconvenient. However, the current commission was to find lost items, not like previous ones requiring demon fighting, so it could be put on hold temporarily.

......

On the other side.

Leaning slantwise in the former alley, Gu Mo also just ended the call, then casually saved that number.

He had just spent some time buying a new phone produced in this Dungeon World, resolving communication issues, making things a lot more convenient... but compared to the familiar ecosystem, intelligence, and internet speed he used to, this seemingly brand-new, yet in his eyes particularly old-fashioned phone was still too inconvenient.

Completing some unfamiliar operations, he slipped the phone into his pocket and then leaned down to organize the luggage he'd left here not long ago.
