"Cheese what?"
Suke looked at the content displayed on the phone Sawatari Koko handed him. His expression was extremely rich, feeling that although he didn't quite get it, it seemed impressive.
He flipped through it casually again and roughly understood that this file on Sawatari Koko's phone was something like a statistical report by the United Government on supernatural events and individuals that had appeared.
The number prefixes were roughly divided from high to low as EX, A, B, C, D, E. The lower the number following the prefix, the more powerful they were within that rank.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it seemed that EX-rank numbers were all existences possessing the power to destroy the world?
The threat level ratings were somewhat different, only ranging from A, B, C, D, to E.
EX seemed to be a designation the government used for non-hostile existences that were invincible and should not be provoked, provided they could be negotiated with as assets.
"Here, Uncle, I didn't expect you to be so amazing!"
"Your ranking is actually so high!"
Sawatari Koko patted Suke's shoulder affectionately.
"This is a precious data book distributed by the government to us 'Liaison Officers'. It records many, many unknown things about this world!"
"Although I was mentally prepared since I possess magic, I didn't expect there to be so many interesting things in this world besides magic!"
"As someone aspiring to be a big streamer, I really can't wait to witness them!"
Sawatari Koko behaved very excitedly in her speech. She even flipped to the back of the data book to point out her own data record to Suke.
The prefix was D, ranked over a thousand places down. The codename was her real name, and the threat level was merely E.
Young girl, what does this mean?
"Little Koko, you..." Suke looked up and down at this young girl who should theoretically be of high school age.
Could it be that she passed the civil service exam and got a government job?
"That's right, it's just as Uncle thinks!"
"The government had a very keen eye and chose me, Koko! From now on, I am the exclusive Liaison Officer for Uncle and Big Sister Tsukishiro Yuki~!"
"The monthly salary is 400,000 yen, you know. That's more than I earn from streaming in half a year~"
"With this money, I won't have to worry about Grandpa's elderly care anymore. After all, the pension (Old Age Insurance) given now is getting less and less every year."
Sawatari Koko acted very excited. In fact, before Suke arrived, she had already shared this joy with the other girls.
Holding an 'iron rice bowl' (stable government job) at such a young age, one could see the end of her life at a glance.
However, this United Government was even blacker than Suke imagined. Hiring a 15-year-old child laborer—are they poets?
400,000 yen sounded like a lot, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be less than double the minimum wage in Tokyo in this world!
If Sawatari Koko were an ordinary person, it would be fine.
But she was a Magical Girl, for goodness' sake! A Magical Girl!
Dismissing you with just 400,000 yen—isn't this Magical Girl a bit too cheap?!
"What's wrong, Uncle? Staring at Koko like that."
"If you have any questions, you can ask Koko directly, okay?"
"I will answer them patiently for you, Uncle. After all, this is my job~!"
Watching this child's silly, happy appearance, Suke was somewhat speechless.
If Koko knew that he carried millions of gold coins with him, and that there were countless gems of all kinds being produced from the Crystalariums on the Farm, he wondered what her expression would be.
"...Take this."
Suke took out a Diamond, which he had obtained from a Fishing Treasure Chest while fishing out of boredom, from his backpack and tossed it into Sawatari Koko's hand.
"Eh?"
Her hand sank under the weight of the massive natural diamond, which was the size of a fist. Sawatari Koko was stunned.
"You know the legendary 'Star of Africa', right? It weighs about 500 carats and is worth over ten million... Haf... Ptui! Anyway, I've looked into the market prices; it's worth about 20 billion yen."
"This piece of natural diamond I'm giving you now is three or four times the weight of the Star of Africa. Little Koko, you can calculate how much it's worth yourself."
"Now, it's yours!"
"Eh... Mine..."
"Eh, eh, eh————???"
Suke watched as countless rich micro-expressions flashed across Sawatari Koko's face within just three short seconds.
But in the end, they all slowly solidified, turning into 'disbelief'.
"Mine???"
"Uncle, you're not joking with me using some artificial glass product, are you? This——???"
Sawatari Koko's eyes went straight. In her impression, Suke had never deceived anyone.
If Uncle wasn't joking, wouldn't that mean she was directly financially free for this lifetime——
But why?
Uncle suddenly gave her such a precious treasure, but apart from guiding him once, she had done nothing.
Could it be that Uncle actually has feelings for her...
Sawatari Koko suddenly raised her gaze, looking at Suke's face, which she felt more and more should become her 'Oshi' (Favorite).
Puffing up her flushed cheeks, she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Her face flushed red in waves, and various complex colors flitted past, ten times richer than her expression just now.
This child, could she be stunned silly with joy?
Actually, Sawatari Koko's behavior looked very strange in Suke's eyes.
One moment she showed an appearance of being so happy she could jump, but the next moment she instantly sank back down, turning into this hesitant expression.
"Alright, Koko. Uncle has plenty of money."
"These materials you gave me are indeed very useful, helping me understand your world more deeply. Just take this diamond as my thank-you gift!"
"If you don't like diamonds, I can change it to an equivalent value in gold coins for you."
Suke casually conjured a bag of glittering gold coins, nearly dazzling Sawatari Koko's eyes.
But because of this, the young girl, realizing something, let her emotions—which had almost soared high—drop back down:
"No need. I'll just take this diamond. After all, it's the first gift Uncle has given me."
"Sigh. As expected, Uncle is just a greasy creature with too much money and nowhere to spend it, who likes to keep young girls as sugar babies. Not interesting at all..."
Suke: ?
What on earth is wrong with this child? Why are her emotions fluctuating so wildly?
According to Stardew Valley logic, Suke somewhat suspected that 'Diamond' was a hated gift in Sawatari Koko's gift preference table.
Otherwise, she had no reason to act like this and even take a swipe at him in passing.
Sigh, the minds of underage girls these days are truly hard to understand.
It's still his Little Yuki who is better; she's happy with whatever he gives her...
"Animus~~!"
Because there were many acquaintances on the Island of Witches, Tsukishiro Yuki, who needed to dress a bit more majestically, had changed back into her white frilly dress.
At this moment, she was lifting her skirt and trotting towards Suke.
But unlike usual, the current Tsukishiro Yuki was not using magic, and while running, she wore a meaningful smile on her face.
"Animus, no time to explain, let me hide quickly~~"
As if there were pursuers behind her, Tsukishiro Yuki grabbed Suke's arm and hid her petite figure behind him.
"G-Great Witch-sama!"
"It's really too much! How could you do this...!"
Before Suke could ask her what happened, Hikami Meruru's sobbing voice came from not far away.
The beige long-haired nun-outfit girl, who was forever a bullied crybaby, was stumbling as she ran out of the mansion's main gate.
She held her hands in front of her chest—where the buttons of her clothes were being stretched to the point of nearly bursting—and cried like a pear blossom bathed in rain.
Hiss. Looking closely, it seemed Hikami Meruru was indeed different from before in some way.
Wait, that scale...?!
Suke's eyes instantly went straight, staring at Hikami Meruru, who suddenly boasted a figure superior even to BB's.
What did this child eat?
Did she eat hormones?
How come, after not seeing her for a while, she went from a stinking medium cup to a super large cup all of a sudden??
"Su-Suke-san...!"
"Have you seen Great Witch-sama? I have an urgent matter to discuss with her...!"
Seeming extremely unaccustomed to her now 'bloated' figure, Hikami Meruru asked Suke while crying and holding the 'Slimes' to try and stop them from jiggling wildly with her running.
Suke felt Tsukishiro Yuki, hiding behind him, pinch the flesh at his waist, signaling him not to blab.
Suke: ...
"We'll talk about your business with her later."
"Meruru, what is going on with your current appearance? Did you eat something you shouldn't have?"
"N-No..." Meruru wiped her tears, looking aggrieved.
"It's like this. Great Witch-sama found me earlier and said there was a newly developed magic that needed my help to test..."
"I originally thought Great Witch-sama needed my healing magic for support, but I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect... Wuwu...!"
Hikami Meruru became sadder as she spoke, crying so much she simply couldn't stop.
But Suke roughly sorted out the information she wanted to convey:
Hikami Meruru meant that Tsukishiro Yuki was the culprit behind her current appearance.
No, wait. Developing new magic—is this magic correct?
Suke stared at the giant Slimes on the girl's chest, which would probably have burst the nun's habit open if not for her hands supporting them.
Oh, it's correct, it's correct. No, it's correct, it's correct. No, no, no.
Is it correct?
"If you see Great Witch-sama, Mr. Suke, I beg you to ask her on my behalf to change me back..."
"Wu... This appearance is really too inconvenient... Great Witch-sama didn't even give me a heads-up..."
Young girl, you just don't understand.
This appearance of yours is perfect for playing the role of a junior student's mother!
Baby-faced with huge breasts, soft, sticky, and virtuous.
It's a pity Suke didn't play Valorant in the past, otherwise, he would have already knelt down and called her Mom!
"Meruru, don't be sad."
"Don't you realize? For you, this is a good thing~"
Tsukishiro Yuki, who had been hiding behind Suke, finally stepped out. Because her stature was truly petite, Hikami Meruru hadn't noticed her earlier despite being so close.
"G-Great Witch-sama?"
"A good thing...?"
"That's right! As long as you overcome this trial I've arranged for you, Meruru, you will definitely be able to reach new heights~!"
Tsukishiro Yuki smiled and pointed a finger at the sky. It looked like her Chuunibyou was acting up again.
"A very annoying fellow has come to Animus's Farm recently. Clearly inferior to me in every aspect, yet that annoying fellow possesses an advantage that I, as the Great Witch, do not have..."
"Do you understand, Meruru? As the Great Witch, I need your help~!"
"Help?" Hikami Meruru's eyes instantly changed, shining brightly under Tsukishiro Yuki's bluffing.
"That's right!"
"I need you to help me ruthlessly crush the arrogance of a purple-haired cow woman in Animus's Farm, where the Festival of Ice will be held in two weeks!"
"Meruru, you will respond to my need, right?"
"O-Of course, Great Witch-sama...!"
Hearing that Tsukishiro Yuki needed her help, the lingering thoughts in Hikami Meruru's mind vanished like smoke.
The current her had only the word 'Loyalty' to speak of for the Great Witch!
And Suke, listening from the side, only now understood what they were talking about.
My Old Snow (Lao Xue), are you sure you want Meruru to go up against BB?
Thinking of BB's unparalleled nastiness and Hikami Meruru's soft, jellyfish-like nature.
Suke was worried that after the confrontation that day, he would wake up the next day to find Hikami Meruru hanging herself at the entrance of his Farm.
He wondered if Tsukishiro Yuki had prepared magic to 'fix' this 'daughter' of hers?
"Don't listen to your mom's nonsense, Meruru. That is not an existence you can handle!"
After careful consideration, Suke decided to speak up and stop it.
Letting Meruru fight BB—what difference is there from letting the current whiteboard Miss Elf face Ryomen Sukuna?
"Hurry up and change the child back. Look at how much you've gaslighted (CPU'd) her... Hmm?"
Just as Suke's voice fell, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The look in the eyes of Hikami Meruru, who was originally standing in front of him, suddenly changed.
She actively walked to Suke's side, hugged his arm, and pressed her body—which had been 'enhanced' by magic—against it.
"How does it feel, Animus~?" Words that she would absolutely never say spilled from Hikami Meruru's mouth.
"Is this appearance suitable? If it's not suitable, I can change it again~"
Meanwhile, Tsukishiro Yuki, who was originally beside her, suddenly retreated half a step away from him very shyly, holding her sun hat, at a loss for what to do.
"——?"
