"I don''t have much of a clue. I n to be idle for the week before I leave."


    There wasn''t much I could do to guarantee my safety. All I needed to do was trust Charles and wait for him to clear the situation.


    "Then how about it? Stay with me. I bet we can have a lot of fun!"


    Grace was more childish than I thought. Despite her looks, she was much more energetic than she looked. She has been less reserved with me as we got to know each other more.


    Eris smiled at our interaction and spoke.


    "If you are idle, why don''t I introduce a proposal? There are many jobs around. Earning more shouldn''t be a problem."


    Job? I would have never expected the nuns here would offer me some work. Being too idle would get boring sooner orter. I might as well hear what jobs they have to give.


    "Are you sure? I don''t think Constance can handle them."


    "Don''t worry. We will watch over her. It''s better to have more hands."


    Grace''s concern was worrying. While Eris told me they would be watching over me, I couldn''t help but think this over.


    "Is it that dangerous?"


    "No, but it''s daunting."


    "It''s gettingte. Why don''t we talk this over tomorrow? You can reconsider it if you want."


    Now that they had said it, the sun was setting. Meeting these two here was nice, but the word daunting couldn''t help but be stuck in my head.

    [Third Person POV]


    "Are you sure this is the right choice?"


    Grace looked at Eris. They say women have many faces. Grace, who had her childish expression, couldn''t help but frown hearing Eris'' proposal.


    "Whether my choice is correct or not, our situation is desperate."


    Eris didn''t look into Grace''s eyes. With how bad their situation was, this was something they needed to do. Both were outside, with Eris looking at the sky with tears.


    "Let''s hope you are right. Nina should also be there."

    [Constance POV]


    Waking from a night''s sleep, I returned to the church. I haven''t been given a time on when I should arrive, but I assume it would be better if I went early. Three people were already inside the church and were all talking.


    "Did Ie to early?"


    "No, you came in just in time. This is Nina and she''s Constance."


    Nina, the nun who verbally disagreed with Grace, red at me. I couldn''t tell if that was how she usually was or if I was hated.


    "It''s nice to meet you Nina."


    "Hmm."


    She grunted and continued to observe me. Before the two of us had a stare-off contest, Eris continued.


    "Constance. Before we start our job, let me exin what we will be doing."


    "The four of us are going to clean up some rats."


    "???"


    Rats? Was there a spy or something? But who here is spying on them? I didn''t think that I would get involved with their enemies already.


    "Do you know where they are at?"


    "They are at the basement... Those infectious dirty creatures..."


    My mind couldn''tprehend what she had just said. Had I overthought this and assumed we would be on a dangerous mission?


    "I can''t believe one of them had dropped their droppings on my clothing! I will burn them!!!"


    Eris, who was someone extremely calm, yelled out in anger. I couldn''t help but chuckle at this sight. Nina also thought Eris was overreacting.


    "This is serious! These rats are breeding at a rapid rate! We need to end them now!"


    "Constance, we will pay you a hefty amount if you could assist us."


    Eris looked at me closely. She held my shoulders, telling me how much of a problem this request was.


    "I thought you were low on money."


    "We may not have a lot, but this problem must disappear. We don''t have anywhere else to relocate."


    The three looked at me, pleading for help. Since I was paid, I might as well do it. Eris is overreacting. It can''t be that bad. Right?


    "Fine... Lead the way."


    I didn''t think the basement would be thisrge for a shabby ce. I can hear squeaking noisesing from every corner. How long have they ignored this problem? I feel like it would take a while for us to finish.


    ~


    "Constance... I thank you for your sacrifice. Amen."


    "..."


    How was it possible...


    Millions of rats were inside the basement...


    I had burnt them all to a crisp...


    It was a nightmare...


    I wanted to go home...


    My brain had, at one point, stopped functioning...


    [Eris had sent you 500 Hub tokens.]


    I had ignored the message from the system and was lying on the floor. It was oddlyfortable here.


    "Constance are you alright?"


    Grace tried to touch me but had second thoughts seeing how tired I was. Before long, a loud knock could be heard. Eris went up to pick up the door, and it didn''t take long before I saw some aliens approaching me.


    "Are you an acquaints of Charles? He requested for you to return home."


    Tears couldn''t help but well up in my eyes. I knew he wouldn''t abandon me. I used my magic and cleaned myself up in an instant.


    "Could I have a few moments before we leave?"


    The aliens looked at each other and stepped out. It left the four of us in the room. Before I left, I had something to say.


    "Spending time with the three of you was fun, Nina. While I haven''t known you as well as the others, I hope we can be friends. Grace, I want to thank you for showing me around the town, and Eris, I want to thank you for your hospitality."


    "Why are you saying like this would be yourst time here? You''re returning to your world, right? You can alwayse back."


    What Grace said made sense. I didn''t think about it that way.


    "I don''t mind hanging out with you."


    Nina looked away shyly. I couldn''t help but chuckle at her reaction, which made her re at me.


    "You''re wee, pleasee back soon."


    I bid them all farewell and headed to where the aliens were. I can''t wait to see Charles again.
