The sound of the smashed car alarm had stopped. But Kaito knew the S-Rank boss was still nearby. He needed 1000 Cultivation Points (CP) to heal Wulfrina, and the only safe route was to farm Rank F household chores.
"Okay, Wulfrina, we have to be fast. The target is the kitchen"
(Kaito said, taking a deep breath, with the determination of someone starting a marathon)
"You promised to clean. Now go in there and farm some points for us"
Wulfrina, who was standing in the middle of the room looking like an ice statue, frowned.
"The kitchen? (She asked, her voice confused and full of disgust, looking at the mess) Master, in Lycan culture, the kitchen is the territory of the weakest subordinates. To do this is... it is a humiliation!"
"General, the humiliation is having an
S-Rank enemy coming here while we have no HP"
(Kaito replied, his voice impatient, pointing to the System screen)
"If you clean, I gain 1 CP, With every CP we get closer to healing this soul wound of yours, Move it!"
(Wulfrina's desire to be healed clashed with her pride She scowled, shame evident, but loyalty to the pact spoke louder)
"Very well, Master. General Wulfrina will clean this pigsty but you will regret giving me such a low-level order"
She marched into the kitchen. Kaito, sitting on the sofa, opened the System panel and monitored the Mission Log tab.
Wulfrina stopped in front of the sink, facing the dirty dishes with the seriousness she would dedicate to a battlefield. She picked up a sponge and a bottle of detergent.
"What is this sticky liquid?"
(Wulfrina asked, her voice deep, full of suspicion, examining the bottle)
"Is it poison? A corrosive acid to eliminate the dirt?"
"No, Wulfrina, it's dish soap To wash the dishes"
(Kaito explained, rolling his eyes, but laughing inside at her seriousness)
"Put it on the sponge and scrub. It's easy, come on"
She squeezed half the bottle onto the sponge The foam exploded.
"Over-Foaming Attack initiated!"
(Kaito yelled, covering his face with his hands, feeling the frustration)
Wulfrina ignored the Master She picked up a dirty fork and tried to scrape off the grease with her nails, which sharpened for a second The sponge and detergent flew to the floor.
"This tool is ineffective! (She hissed, anger growing, looking at the sponge as if it were an enemy) If I were to use the brute force of Eternal Ice, this dirt would already be frozen and shattered!"
"Don't use the force of Eternal Ice on my dishes!"
(Kaito yelled, jumping off the couch, panic taking over)
"You're supposed to scrub! Scrub! Not freeze and explode! Stop!"
(Kaito ran to her, breathing hard, feeling the need to prevent total destruction)
He took her hand and showed her how to scrub a plate normally.
"Like this, Wulfrina Light Gentle Got it?"
(He spoke, his voice almost pleading)
Wulfrina watched his hand with hesitation. "This is... a ritual of submission to the dirt. (She murmured, the shame returning, as she tried to imitate the scrubbing motion) It is humiliating"
[ System Notification: Low-Risk Conflict (Dishwashing) successfully initiated 0.1/1 CP received]
Kaito saw the fractional point flash on the screen
"Opa! (His eyes lit up, the excitement returning in force) That's it! Keep going, Wulfrina! You're farming! Wash a little more!"
Wulfrina snorted, but continued. She picked up a knife and, instead of washing it, began scraping it with another knife
"I will eliminate the oil stain! (Wulfrina shouted, determination on her face, acting as if she were dismantling enemy armor) This stain will not dishonor me!"
"Wulfrina! You're going to scratch my knife! Put that down!"
(Kaito yelled, throwing his hands up, feeling the frustration and despair of having his possessions destroyed)
Suddenly, the System panel flashed.
[ ALERT !: The Shadow Ice Lycan (S-Rank) has crossed the Main Avenue , Distance to Sector: 3 minutes ]
Kaito felt a knot in his stomach. The boss was arriving. He only had 0.1 CP
"Enough with the dishes! (Kaito ordered, his voice loud, real fear replacing gamer mode). Wulfrina! Bathroom! Quick! Let's go to the Bathroom!"
"The Hall of Hygiene? (Wulfrina asked, confused, but sensing the panic in his eyes). Is it bigger? More glorious?"
"No, it has more dirt! That means more CP!" (Kaito shouted, pulling Wulfrina by the arm, running toward the hallway)
"Time is up, General The boss is at the door!"
Kaito pushed Wulfrina into the bathroom, the only place he thought he could farm CP without her destroying everything. But the smell of ice was getting stronger in the room, and the 3 minutes were almost over.
