Easing up after the initial scare, the guy was about to say some comforting words when he noticed the shit-eating grin on the hamster next to himself. It’s pretty apparent Boink enjoyed the show of having the cat zapped for that rudeness.

After a few minutes of rest and a face wash in the bathroom, Shadow took a seat on the sofa before concluding: “This pendant shouldn’t be anything bad or dangerous. At the very least, I’m certain it’s not an evil item.”

“Why are you so certain?” Dawn asked.

“Because it was so ‘gentle’ even when I tore the invitation up twice. You not see? The punishment didn’t hurt me, though it did zap me in a superficial way. On top of that, demonic contracts always demand more in payment than it gives. Usually in the form of curses.”

Dawn was shocked at first, and then a little angry: “Since you know that then why did you try those dangerous experiments?!”

Seeing the concern from the Landlord, Shadow merely waved it off with a reassuring smile: “You’re wrong in that part. From the very beginning, I knew there’s no danger involved.”

“Did you not hear me say evil artifacts always demand more in return? Think about it Landlord. Aside from tasking you to finish those missions, what else did you have to give up thus far? Nothing, not a single thing that might hurt you. Instead, you got rewarded with that fruit and invitation for destroying that ghost. If anything, this pendant is giving you freebies after freebies.”

Boink puckered his lips and spoke in protest: “But that ghost is so dangerous. Isn’t it the same as sending him to his death with that mission?”

“… Don’t be a monster anymore Boink, just go be a pig or sheep or something. You don’t like using your head at all.” Shadow shakes her head disapprovingly at the hamster’s IQ, “There are so many better options to off the landlord, why should the pendant go about it in such a round way?”

“And don’t forget the ghost had targeted him to begin with. Even without the mission, we would’ve had to deal with the problem eventually when the monster hunters failed.”

After being stiffed and shut down, Boink’s expression got very troubled as he wrinkled his nose. Sadly, the hamster couldn’t think of anything to retort that statement and went mute.

“Landlord, where do I sign on this note?” Shadow asked.

“You’re going to accept being a member of my Arbiter team?” Dawn was amazed as he didn’t expect her to be so decisive.

“And why not?” Shadow asked rhetorically: “There are no binding clauses, and it will not have any impact on me. Even if I quit and regret it later on, all I’m going to lose is my memory. In that case, what reason do I have to refuse when there’s so many benefits to be had?”

Makes sense….

But before Dawn could say yes, Boink had also raised his paw and said, “Hey hey, Landlord, count me in too. I’m also interested.”

“Alright, go ahead and press your fingerprint anywhere on the note.” Dawn spread the invitation note out and allowed the two to do as they please.

From here on forward, he’s not only their Landlord, but also their team leader. Whatever’s to come in the future, it couldn’t be all that bad. At the very least, his dull and mundane life won’t be so bland anymore. And sure enough, the second he thought those foreboding words, another two lines promptly appeared within the pendant and went into Dawn’s head.
