The Enemy Always Wants to Pull Me into a Coffin

“You…… recognize me? ,” Alessio looked at Hitomi in the air, “I have indeed never seen an alchemical life form like you before.”

　　That’s right, Alessio considered Hitomi to be an extraordinarily huge alchemical life form. In his time, there had been occasional life forms like this, such as some alchemy expert’s magic enablers, but none was as grand in scale as the Hitomi hovering before him at the moment.

　　Hitomi just stared at him tenderly.

　[But I’ve seen you.]

　”What…”

　　Alessio was still very confused when the milky white sphere gradually darkened. Hitomi had no eyelids, so this dull state symbolized that he had entered a temporary rest. Just as he was completely satisfied after seeing Alessio, Hitomi slowly dimmed down. At the same time, the live broadcast began to count down to the end of one minute.

　[ah, ah, ah, ah, no, no, no, no, no way, once more !!! 】

　　[Father! Father Hitomi! You’re my father!]

　　[I won’t go!!! (Hitting the ground)]

　　The live broadcast was carried out by Hitomi with full authority. No matter how much they struggled, as soon as the countdown ended, the poor audience was cleared out of the live broadcast room by the ruthless Father Hitomi. In addition, Alessio had just recovered, and the contract for the use of the video had not been signed. The audience could only cry and pile up a few skyscrapers of posts on the forum, but were pitifully deleted by the administrator on the grounds of “repetitive posts”, leaving only one post.

　　[Wu – I’m crying]

　[Nothing! No Xi Xi! No broadcast! Not even the posts]

[Lick the dog, wu, wu]

　[Hurry up, conservation centre! Sign the contract! My crop-producing hands are ready to move!]

　　Alessio was still looking at Hitomi in bewilderment. He didn’t know what the other party was up to. He reconfirmed his memory. It is impossible for him to have no impression of such a large alchemical life form.

　Could it be that… the other party might have changed their appearance?

　　It’s hard to guess.

　　Now Hitomi also went into standby. Perhaps there was a chance to ask about it later. Alessio didn’t care too much. He didn’t detect any malice from Hitomi, instead; he felt a particularly deep warmth as if the other person had known him for a long time.

　　The task of meeting Hitomi was completed, and Augustus had already left as he entered the central area. According to André, the fact that the three of them were able to go forward to meet the recovered Alessio on behalf of the Federation represented a different standpoint on itself. André confesses his bias towards the upper echelons of the Federation, Augustus was a bodyguard serving Hitomi, and as for Aili, she belongs to the Conservation Centre.

　”In fact, if you were not capable of living independently after recovery, Aili would act as the caretaker directly responsible for you.” André laughed, “but since your recovery, you have shown a complete logical thinking ability and have your own opinions, so we will not interfere too much with any of your choices.”

　　Dark creatures, as long as they are healthy and alive, are contributing to the balance of light and darkness in the world, so the whole Federation goes out of its way to provide the best condition for them. Those who cannot live independently are taken in by the Centre, while those with an independent nature can enjoy citizenship rights and some privileges and live comfortably in the Federation.

　　Of course, the premise of enjoying privileges was the fulfilment of certain obligations, which Alessio saw in the treaty before him.

　　They had moved to the conference room at the Conservation Center, and after making sure Alessio had no trouble reading the simplified font, André picked out a few of the more important ones for him.

　”For the other contracts, I suggest that you sign them after you are familiar with this world. As for these ones, which include the right to choose a guardian and the opening of images, you need to consider them first.”

　　Alessio looked at these contracts. He didn’t care much about the right to open images, after all, he had little real sense in this regard. As for the remaining one, the contract concerning the guardian……

　　As the name of the Dark Creature Conservation and Nurturing Center implies, every dark creature has two direct persons in charge. One is a caretaker like Aili, who has been strictly trained by the Conservation Center and familiar and enthusiastic about the dark creatures and is responsible for managing the daily necessities of dark creatures. Alessio was able to live independently and the need for a caretaker was reduced to a minimum, but it was good to have Aili as a life assistant.

　　Alessio had no problem with the human girl, so he was quite happy to sign the guardian contract.

　　By the way, the magic contract was probably abandoned, and the one he signed was only valid under federal law.

　　Alessio:…… It really doesn’t make sense.

　　The position of the other person in charge was more important. Firstly, they were required to be an intelligent light individual. Secondly, they were required to have considerable social status. The guardian will protect the dark creature with his own social influence. Once there is a bad incident, the guardian is also responsible for taking the responsibility/blame.

　　It’s like finding yourself a dad…… Alessio didn’t want to sign this.

　　So he only gave the image right to Hitomi and its affiliated platform, and the guardian contract was pushed back untouched by him.

　”I don’t need it.” He said faintly, “If, as stated in this contract, the conservation centre is funding my livelihood, so there is no need for a guardian.”

　　　 “With the so-called…live broadcast earnings, I should be able to achieve… relative financial freedom? Then I don’t even need the fund of the conservation centre.”
