Chapter 1465: The Little Mouse Is So Cute
After the talk with Gloria, Mag went to the mercenary union for a while, and what took him by surprise was that no one claimed the reward even though there were many gentlemen who answered his call and left their name on the board of gentlemen.
In the first place was…
“The temperamental girl with a helmet?”
Mag raised his brow. He felt like things weren’t so simple.
Do teenage girls have this naming style nowadays?
In addition, the reward fund, which started with 5,000,000, became 8,500,000.
The reward increased by a whopping 3,500,000 overnight. That showed how supportive everyone was towards this project.
In addition, Mag had also received some feedback.
The most common feedback was the problem of having too many gentlemen and too few criminals.
For this problem… there was nothing he could do about it, right?
He couldn’t possibly create a bunch of thieves so that these gentlemen with raging hormones could play with them, right?
“I heard that Bastie Prison was filled yesterday because there were so many criminals caught by the gentlemen. Boss Mag, you’re the real gentleman.” Cartera looked at Mag, and gave him a thumbs up.
The lady in charge of administrative matters was also looking at Mag with admiration.
“You’re too kind.” Mag waved his hand humbly. He was no gentleman. He was just a normal man. He looked at Cartera, and asked, “Can the Gentlemen’s League become a chill mercenary group that doesn’t have too many restrictions? I just need a simple list of gentlemen that want to continue protecting the people. After that, we can build a rotational system so that we can be more efficient in the long run.”
Cartera fell silent for a while before he nodded, and said, “Although this is unprecedented, this is not against our union’s rules. If the other mercenaries are willing to join, then there’s no problem.”
“I wonder if I can ask the public union to help with the operations for this. I can pay an operational fee,” Mag said with a smile.
Cartera waved his hand with a smile, and said, “There’s no need for the operational fee. It is something the mercenary union should do if it means that we can do a little for the peace and stability of Chaos City. I will personally oversee this matter. However, it’s still unknown if the gentlemen are willing to join as mercenaries.”
Mag and Cartera discussed further the details of setting up the Gentlemen’s League mercenary group, and settled the rough framework for the project. After that, Mag went back to the restaurant.

Amy played with a lotus-shaped flame in her palm as she asked Krassu, “Master, is it vacation soon?”
Krassu was stunned. With a chuckle, he quickly said, “Er… It’s not vacation yet at Chaos School, so let’s not be in a hurry. Amy, look at what’s in the magic rooms. Just play with anything you want to play with. Just tell me whatever you want. I will get it for you.”
“I want to play with my friends. I want to eat all the delicious food. I want to lie in bed and sleep. Can I?” Amy asked Krassu as she blinked her large eyes.
“Er…” Krassu’s eyes widened. Weren’t those things that you would do during vacation? He had no idea how to reply to her.
“Hmph. Liar.” Amy snorted gently. She put the lotus fire into a small crystal bottle and capped it.
The golden reddish flame the size of a palm danced within the crystal bottle, making the bottle glow very beautifully.
“Amy, why did you put the fire lotus into a small bottle?” Krassu tried to change the topic awkwardly.
“I want to blow the school up,” Amy said seriously as she placed the little bottle on the rack.
Krassu took a look at the small crystal bottles on the rack that added up to almost 100 in numbers. There were flames of various colors in each bottle, and Krassu could not help but take a deep breath of cold air in.
If all these small bottles erupted at the same time, half of the entire Chaos School campus would probably be gone, much less this magic room.
Krassu hesitantly said, “Er… Amy, we learn magic not to blow the school up. Look at how cute the school is. Look at how cute the magic rooms are. If you blow them up…”
“Pfft…” Amy could not contain her laughter. She looked at Krassu, who seemed nervous, with a smile, and said, “Master, I was joking. The school is so cute. Why would I blow it up? You said that we cannot harm the innocent. Let’s just blow those who don’t go on vacation. Why should we blow the school up? Am I right?”
“Yes… Hm? No…” Krassu looked at Amy, who was smiling brightly, and sighed inside. It seemed that his plan to postpone the vacation would probably fail.
“Also, we’re going out to play in a few days’ time. That would be another holiday,” Amy continued.
“What? You’re going out to play? Are you going to take leave from school again?” Krassu suddenly became nervous.
Amy covered her mouth. Oops. She’d let the cat out of the bag.
Boss Mag, really! Instead of running his restaurant, all he thinks about is bringing his child out to play. He’s totally inconsiderate of the feelings of us, teachers. I must have a good talk with him tonight, Krassu thought to himself. This is too serious.
Ring, ring~
The school bell in Chaos School rang to signify the end of school.
“Then I’ll make a move first, Master. I’ve already promised to go home with Daphne and Ignatsu, so I won’t be walking with you.” Amy slipped down from the high stool, grabbed her little backpack, and swung it behind her as she skipped towards the door.
“I can go with you too,” Krassu shouted to Amy as she skipped off.
“No, you’re too old. You will increase our average age,” Amy replied without even turning her head back. After that came the sound of the door closing.
“Says who? I’m still young, aren’t I…” Krassu grumbled under his breath.

“Amy,” Daphne called out as she waved her hand at the school entrance.
Ignatsu followed beside her, and the green beansprouts on his head swayed as he walked.
“Daphne.” Amy skipped over. She gave Daphne a hug before plucking a green beansprout from Ignatsu’s head with a smile, and said, “Let’s go to my house to play.”
Ignatsu’s green beansprout swayed left and right after it was plucked, but he did not seem to mind. Instead, he turned and expectantly asked Amy, “Can I continue watching Tom and Jerry?”
“Yeah, they’ve already been in the box for a week. I wonder if the little mouse would be eaten by that dumb cat?” Daphne asked with concern.
“They’re fine. I opened the box to take a look this morning when I woke up. That dumb cat hasn’t even caught the little mouse.” Amy shook her head.
“Whew. That’s great.”
Daphne and Ignatsu let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
“But I think Ugly Duckling has also taken an interest in the little mouse. I saw it biting the box when I woke up in the morning,” Amy said.
“That won’t do. We’ll have to educate it. The little mouse is so cute. How can Ugly Duckling eat it alive?” Daphne said seriously.
Amy pondered seriously, and said, “That’s right. If we grill it until it turns a nice golden brown and sprinkle some chili powder and pepper, it will probably taste really good!”
