"Roland-kun, right? Your Japanese is really good... Have you lived here for a long time?"
"Yes."
"It's amazing that you came to Fuyuki City to live independently at such a young age. You have worked part-time before. Young people should want to live in big cities. Won't you feel uncomfortable in a small place like Fuyuki City?"
"It's okay." Roland paused, as if he felt something was wrong, and added: "The place where I lived before was a small town called Morioh Town. Compared to it, Fuyuki City is already very powerful."
This was a simple interview. The convenience store manager chatted casually with Roland while observing him. He was neatly dressed, had a healthy complexion, and sat upright. Even though he was very young, he could see the excellent qualities that only a good upbringing could bring to the young man.
His vision is not wrong, this is a good kid.
"Well, one last question, can you come to work today?"
Roland put on a long apron and began to follow the store manager to familiarize himself with his work environment.
Putting aside the Holy Grail War, if one wants to survive in this world, a corresponding identity is quite necessary.
Contrary to what most people think, in daily life, this country does not require many identification documents. Therefore, as long as Roland can solve the problem of funding, integrating into this country with his current level will be as easy as a drop of water into the ocean.
For that, he needed a job.
Although the impact of the current bubble economy bursting on society will continue for a long time, the so-called lost twenty years has just begun. Companies are laying off a large number of employees and the industry is also in recession. It is really not a good time to find a job.
But perhaps because Fuyuki City is not very large, and the new capital construction plan has acted as a shot in the arm to revitalize the economy, it is still relatively peaceful here, and the wages are relatively not high.
With his fluent Japanese and various details, just as Roland predicted, the kind store manager did not mind the fact that he had no identity card, but treated him as a young man who had immigrated to a small town in the past and then came out to make his own way due to difficulties.
"Yes, that's how it is arranged. The classification and placement of goods are very important... You are amazing. It's rare to find young people like you who work hard and have strong abilities."
Seeing the manager's admiring expression, Roland nodded indifferently, because, for him now, this was a matter of course.
Although there are still some unsatisfactory aspects, judging from the results, he has drawn a good card.
Roland glanced at the Key of All Spirits in his hand, and the information on it automatically appeared in his mind.
——Contracted Spirit [Kira Yoshikage] (Contracted)
He was once a nightmare hovering over Morioh Town, but after being torn apart by the alley of no return, the ending that even reincarnation was not allowed has twisted his remnants into a power with obsession. As long as his obsession can be eliminated, no matter who can do it, this power will belong to that person forever.
Symptoms: Your nails will grow at an abnormal rate. The greater the mental stress, the faster the growth rate.
Impact: You acquire the famous hand fetish of Kira Yoshikage in his mortal life. At the same time, you will feel very eager for a peaceful and regular stable life. Once any good or bad changes in this stable environment occur, you will feel extremely anxious and uneasy. During the contract, you will become self-disciplined.
Empowerment:
The secret of third place: You have gained a bonus in knowledge and work ability equivalent to the level of Kira Yoshikage during his lifetime. You know how to keep a proper distance from the people around you and hide yourself perfectly without being looked down upon.
Killer Queen: You gain the Stand Killer Queen.
Good luck: You have much better luck than others. When you encounter difficulties, you can always find opportunities to turn the situation around.
Digestion requirements: Maintain inner peace as the principle of life in the area where the contract is completed for more than one month.
In Roland's eyes, the contracted spirit belonging to Kira Yoshikage emitted a pale yellow light, which was at the second level.
According to the classification given by the Key of All Spirits, there are five levels of contracted spirits: white, yellow, blue, purple and red. The classification of contracted spirits is not entirely based on the strength of their abilities.
The relationship between the contracted spirit and the contractor is not equal. After all, they are the products of the Key of All Spirits that were made into contracted spirits. Except for a few special ones, most of them are caught between life and death and are pathetic beings without even their own will.
The contract is a means to better use the contract spirit. Although a contract spirit with stronger abilities will become a higher-level color in Roland's eyes, it is not absolute.
As the owner of the Key of All Spirits, depending on the price required, the color of the contract spirit may change when the contract spirit is actually obtained. The strictness of the price determines the suitability of the contract spirit in Roland's eyes.
According to the information provided by the Key of All Spirit, the danger levels corresponding to different colors can be roughly divided into the following categories.
White, almost harmless, can easily use the contract and complete the requirements to digest the contract spirit, but its abilities are often limited.
Yellow requires a certain price to be paid, but it is still within the scope of reality, and the upper and lower limits of capabilities are very high.
Blue may have specific requirements for the contractor, such as character, will, and ability, which are often excellent, but the digestion conditions are often harsh.
Purple, a special contract spirit existence, the cost is unpredictable, it may be extremely high or extremely low, and the help it brings to the contractor is also the most special.
Red is extremely dangerous and exceeds the limits of the contractor. The ability granted is often the highest level of power of the contractor's original body. Conversely, the price to be paid will cause the contractor to suffer almost irreversible distortion.
The abilities and costs of the second-level contracted spirit Kira Yoshikage were reasonable, and the impact on himself was also within a reasonable range. The only thing that made Roland consider it was the subtle hand fetish.
But let's not talk about that. This contract spirit solved Roland's urgent problem. The secret of the third place seemed to be of little significance, but it perfectly solved the dilemma he was facing. As a substitute for the main combat force, it was an excellent choice in this kind of urban life.
Although it is not as good as the rule-level special Stands like Star Platinum and The World, Kira Yoshikage's Stand is one of the best among the many Stands with various strange abilities.
Furthermore, the opponent's digestion conditions were also very simple, which was perfect for Roland, who was just getting started.
After sending the store manager away, Roland stood in front of the counter, admiring his hands out of boredom.
The nails are neatly trimmed, with distinct knuckles and perfect proportions, long and white.
"Besides, this experience is not bad. I didn't expect that an ordinary person like me could have such a beautiful part. What a perfect pair of hands..." Roland raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at the pink figure next to him. The other person's face was expressionless, his toes were off the ground, and a belt with a skull logo was tied around his waist, which made his streamlined muscles look not bloated, but instead had a sense of power and beauty.
The combination of various characteristics made it possible for him to stand in a rather seductive posture without feeling anything unusual. After hearing Roland's words, the figure did not reply, but turned his head with cat ears open, and stared at Roland calmly with his terrifying cold vertical pupils, just like a big pink cat.
"You think so, don't you, Killer Queen?"
