As a Sword Saint, I Want to Be a Demon King

Burying her face in the pillow, she thought dully.

However, no one expected that things would soon take a new turn.

Pamela only went for less than half a day, and brought back a shocking news.

"You said that all the people in that blacksmith shop died?"

Hearing the report, the silver-haired girl "teng" sat up from the bed!

"sure?"

"Sure meow! I heard that except for five people whose necks were twisted outside, the rest were all burned to death in a fire, meow."

Pamela replied:

"The fire burned very strangely... There was no sound at all that night. After people woke up the next morning, they suddenly found that the blacksmith shop had turned into a charred ruin meow."

"The priests of the Radiant Holy See preach everywhere that this is God's punishment meow."

There was gossip in her eyes:

"They still wanted to enter the ruins to investigate, but they were beaten out, and their heads were broken meow."

Could it be that the principal and that guy named Ken helped me?

The silver-haired girl began to think about various possibilities:

——No, it always feels impossible.

These two people were eager to find suspicious points on her, so why would they take the initiative to help her silence them?

After thinking about it, I don't understand why all the people who knew the truth about themselves died overnight. Is it true that sometimes it happens?

Or... is there someone quietly helping him behind his back?

This person was a bit too scary, he actually burned dozens of people to death, and destroyed a large shop that was famous throughout the underground market without hesitation.

"Maybe this person is responsible for the orphanage, including the death of old man Lake."

Egwene's vest felt a little cold.

She seemed to feel that there was an invisible hand in the darkness secretly manipulating all this:

"And those five robbers from the blacksmith's shop... It's impossible for ordinary people to do things like pinching people's necks. They must be very powerful guys to do it."

"The person who will help me... who will it be?"

Tossing and turning, she fell into a drowsy sleep.

I didn't wake up until it was getting dark, feeling a little dizzy.

The two maids were busy, arming the house and preparing dinner; when she woke up, she immediately smelled the aroma of food.

"Pamela, sit down too."

During the meal, she saw the cat girl standing beside her neatly, and she beckoned her to sit down:

"I don't have the habit of letting others watch me eat."

"But……"

Pamela seemed a little hesitant.

The education she received in the orphanage was very strict, and she would be beaten severely if she did something wrong, so she cared about the rules between master and servant.

"Obey your master's orders."

Elena next to her touched her head—the silver-haired girl and she both like to touch the little kitty's ears now:

"Sit down, this is the supreme grace, we cannot go against the master's wishes."

"Yes, sister Elena."

The little cat girl sat down timidly, staring at the plate in front of her in a daze.

— what a supreme grace!

Someone defeated by the brainwashed cult-like thinking of their own maid.

She tried to correct Elena several times, but did not get good results.

But after thinking about it carefully, this is also the consequence of using his ability on others, so he gave up helplessly in the end.

"It seems that this ability is fine, so it's better not to use it indiscriminately."

Biting her knife, she secretly made up her mind.

From the very beginning, she felt that the skills of the dark department were a bit weird.

Especially when certain skills are used, she will be covered in black air, and her eyes will turn into golden vertical pupils, which looks quite scary.

"I don't know if there are any sequelae after using too much..."

She thought with a sigh.

After eating, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Pamela stayed in the dining room to clean up the tables and wash the dishes. Elena went out to greet the guests. It was a messenger from Wang Li Academy.

"This is given to you by the head of the school."

To her, the "Undefeated Swordswoman", the visitor had a very respectful attitude, and politely handed over a stack of documents.

"Handover the contract? So fast?"

The silver-haired girl opened it and saw that it was the handover procedure of the orphanage's agent.

Before she could be happy for a long time, the other party's next sentence made her face collapse:

"—Your Excellency, Headmaster asked me to tell you that the rent for that orphanage is about to expire."

The messenger said:

"The rent of the house and land is paid every three years, please be sure to pay it in one lump sum."

"In addition, there are food purchases, replacement and repair of clothes and furniture, etc., which also need to be paid as soon as possible;"

"Lecturers and carers' contracts will need to be redrawn and their materials sent later."

"And then there's the responsibility-taking aspect..."

Back in the study, someone lay on the table looking at the pile of paperwork, and sighed a long time.

To be honest, she wasn't very good at these things before time travel, let alone now.

After coming to this world, her focus has always been on enhancing her own strength, and how to improve her survival in the wild; where would she have the time to study such operations.

"Master, I am familiar with the situation in the orphanage, so I may be able to help you with trivial matters."

The maid Elena introduced herself cautiously:

"Tomorrow is the semi-finals. I think you need to recover from your injuries and rest."

"really?"

The silver-haired girl was refreshed when she heard the words!

"Come on, first help me calculate the amount that needs to be paid."

She drew Elena to the table:

"And the approximate monthly expenses."

"Yes, Master."

Elena is very efficient.

Not long after, a string of numbers was placed in front of her.

"Is this... so much?"

Looking at those numbers, the silver-haired girl turned pale.

According to this kind of expenditure, the little property she just saved would not last long.

"Returning to the master, it is very expensive to maintain the living expenses of nearly a hundred people."

Elena replied respectfully:

"However, I have also thought of ways to save money, such as those children's training courses, some of which can be completely cancelled..."

She lays out some cutbacks for the silver-haired teenage girl.

"Although the idea is good, it is still a drop in the bucket."

Aiwen pressed her forehead and said distressedly:

"Even if you save more, you can't save much. You have to find a way to increase your source of income."

"Master, if you win the martial arts tournament and become the champion, you will also be rewarded generously."

Elena reminded her to come.

"No, that's not a long-term solution, after all, the fighting tournament is only held every two years..."

and many more?

Long-term plan?

Speaking of this, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind!

"By the way, Elena, do you still remember the clothes I designed before?"

"Remember, Master."

Elena replied:

"I'll get it right away."

After a while, several pieces of clothing similar to modern styles were placed in front of the two of them.

This is the trouble she despises women's clothing from another world, and she especially finds tailor-made items.
