Toga felt a bit unhappy after seeing the two women. She was such a lovely person and had originally held a superior position here. Now, with two others just as beautiful as her, no matter how she looked at it, she felt displeased.
Yang Xiao was truly dumbfounded now. He was certain that this world was a parallel version of My Hero Academia. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence occur? The members of "Yorozuya" had appeared in this world as members of "Kojouya." It was simply unbelievable.
"Fortunately, you two joined, otherwise it might have been..." The little lolita in the red cheongsam spread her hands and said in a very relaxed tone.
"What? What might have happened?" Toga took a step forward, looking at the lolita in the red cheongsam with a displeased tone.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We're all one family now, so what's there to argue about?" Yato Gin smiled, then pointed at the girl in the red cheongsam and said, "Let me introduce the members of the Odd Jobs Shop. This one is Tsukuyomi Kagura, one of the core members of our Odd Jobs Shop."
Yato Gin then continued the introductions: "This one is Himekawa Shinpachi, and that beautiful lady is Himekawa Tae. The two are siblings and are also core members of the Odd Jobs Shop."
Then, Yato Gin introduced Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko, and everyone got to know each other.
Yang Xiao was somewhat amused. Whether it was Tsukuyomi Kagura, Himekawa Shinpachi, or Himekawa Tae, although the names were slightly different, their settings were undoubtedly the same. The resemblance was striking.
"Okay, let's get back to the main topic. Now, I'm going to tell you two what the true core of the Odd Jobs Shop actually does." The playful expression on Yato Gin's face vanished in an instant, replaced by a serious look.
Yang Xiao grew curious. The Odd Jobs Shop was so mysterious—it must be involved in some shady business. But it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. If the Odd Jobs Shop was tied to the underworld, Yang Xiao would still leave.
"Please, have a seat..." Yato Gin began speaking after everyone sat down, mainly for Yang Xiao and Toga to hear.
"The Odd Jobs Shop has been established for a full twenty years. For the first twelve years, another senior was in charge here. He died due to a failed mission. At that time, I was just one of the members of the Odd Jobs Shop. After that incident, the other members began to disperse, so now I'm the only one managing the Odd Jobs Shop."
Yato Gin continued, "The existence of the Odd Jobs Shop is mainly to serve those in need. Of course, the core Odd Jobs Shop is different from the one you two experienced before. The Odd Jobs Shop here will kill people after accepting a request!"
Yang Xiao's eyes shifted. It was true—the Odd Jobs Shop was like an assassination organization. Once someone placed a request, the Odd Jobs Shop would take action and receive a reward after resolving the issue.
"Of course, our organization never does evil. Those who are killed are all bad people with criminal records. They are either criminals or unforgivable individuals. In short, none of them are good people."
When Yato Gin said this, Yang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was an organization that punished evil, it was quite good.
Afterward, Yato Gin discussed the rules and precautions of the Odd Jobs Shop, covering almost everything, which gave Yang Xiao and Toga a clear understanding.
"You two don't have much ability yet, so after becoming core members, you'll stay here to handle requests and organize cases. The other three will handle the rest." Yato Gin patted Yang Xiao on the shoulder and said.
Yang Xiao had actually expected this outcome. Yato Gin would never know about his strength. To him, Yang Xiao was just a high school student about to enter high school. What kind of strength could a high school student have? What kind of extraordinary abilities could he possess?
Therefore, Yato Gin's decision was very normal. Even if Yato Gin asked Yang Xiao to fight on the front lines, he wouldn't go. His current strength wasn't enough to face unknown dangers. Who knew how many powerful people existed in this world?
Thus, the safest approach was to develop slowly. With the protective umbrella of the Odd Jobs Shop, both he and Toga would be under its cover. There was nothing to worry about for now.
"Gin-san, I don't want to stay with Yang Xiao every day..." Toga felt a bit strange about her own reaction. This way, it would be just her and Yang Xiao working in the core every day.
"What? He gives in to you every day, and you still have objections?" Yato Gin looked at Toga strangely, not understanding what she was thinking.
It was a bit troublesome to explain this kind of thing to Toga. She herself felt strange about it, so she simply remained silent.
"Since there are no issues, work can begin. Considering that Yang Xiao has to go to school, you can just report to the Odd Jobs Shop after school every day. Working hours will end at 10 p.m." Yato Gin looked at Yang Xiao. He shouldn't be too harsh on students.
"Getting off work two hours late? Is there overtime pay?" Yang Xiao was more concerned about his salary at the moment. After all, this was a realistic society—without money, there was nothing to discuss.
"You're so obsessed with money at such a young age," Yato Gin smiled. "Don't worry, your salary will increase several times after joining the core. Just wait for the payment at the end of the month."
"Kid, work hard. Your future is limitless, haha." Himekawa Shinpachi laughed, stood up, walked over to Yang Xiao, adjusted his glasses, and said, "The Odd Jobs Shop can not only train you to be an intelligence officer but also mold you into a strong person. When I first joined the Odd Jobs Shop, I was similar to you. Now, hehe~"
This smile was meaningful. Yang Xiao was a bit confused about Himekawa Shinpachi's strength, but was the Odd Jobs Shop really that powerful?
This way, he could improve his strength at U.A. High School and then further enhance it after returning to the Odd Jobs Shop. It was a double win.
Would the other three transmigrators be as lucky as him?
This was a question worth pondering.
But what was there to ponder? He didn't even know where the other three were—how could he possibly think deeply about it!
"Gin-san, I'm a bit sleepy, so I'll head back first. Shinpachi, remember to lock the door when you come back!" Himekawa Tae raised her hand to cover a yawn.
"Tae, you're going back so early? Today is the day new members joined—don't you want to go out for a drink together?" Yato Gin tried to persuade her to stay.
"Drink your head!" Himekawa Tae said with a stern face, "Have you forgotten what happened last time we drank?"
"Uh~" Yato Gin was stunned. The scene from the last drinking incident was still vivid in his mind. Back then, he was drunk and touched Tae's... and the result...
The consequences were disastrous. For that entire week, Yato Gin felt like he was living in hell.
Based on his own understanding, Yang Xiao could guess some of the details. He felt that the core of the Odd Jobs Shop was a place that was both pleasant and "joyful."
He should get along well with everyone here—probably...
