I Received a Request from the Villain Boss
"Hey, you hungry?"A soft, white piece of bread suddenly appeared before me, right as I was about to starve to death after going three whole days without a single bite. After I inhaled the loaf—which was as big as my entire forearm—right then and there, the villain gave a despicable smirk."Now that you've eaten, shall we have a chat?"Just like that, my entire life was mortgaged to a villain over a single loaf of bread.The man who gave me the bread was a villain. And not just any villain, but a villain boss who was running an entire guild. Somehow, he found out about my ability—clairvoyance—and approached me with a strange deal."I give you food, you do the work. It’s not a losing deal for you, right?"

By the way, are you going to eat that bread in your pocket? Give it to me."No matter how I looked at it, he was still a bad guy, but at least he wouldn't force me to beg and starve me like the orphanage director did. I figured this was the better option. So, we shook hands."Newbie. Can I please pinch your cheeks just once?" "That'll be 1 Brin (10 cents) per pinch." "Gasp! That is way too cheap! Please, take my entire salary!" "……I was just kidding."I thought all I had to do was the work assigned to me, but the guild members' affection for me seems ridiculously excessive.For the first time, I failed a mission. The boss saved me just as I was about to get seriously hurt."Boss, I haven't succeeded yet."I mumbled, dangling awkwardly from his side as he carried me."Does that even matter right now? Are you hurt anywhere or not?" "……I'm not hurt." "Good enough, then. Let's go grab a bite. I'm starving."They said he was cold-blooded and ruthless. The villain boss has gone weird. +
