Chapter 71: Gaocheng Yuriko
"Mom, are you feeling better? Does your head still hurt?"
In a private room belonging to a certain man, Saya Takagi, a beautiful former high school sophomore at Fujimi Academy and a proud pink-haired girl who claims to have a high IQ, looked at the person lying on the white sheets with her with a worried expression.
The face is very similar to Yuriko Takagi, but more mature.
This former hostess of the Takagi family, the virtuous wife of Soichiro Takagi, a strong woman on Wall Street, a woman who was always so confident and held her head high, was now pale, covered in cold sweat, and lying weakly on the bed that belonged to Lu Yi.
Well, don't think about some disharmonious things. Lu Yi has not spent a night in the world of Academy Apocalypse since many months ago. This luxurious private room that nominally belongs to him, the leader of the survivor base, has been there since that day.
From the beginning, it has essentially become a prison for the Gao Cheng family and her daughter.
As for why Takagi Yuriko looks so painful and weak now, that can only be——
"You can only blame Auntie for doing it yourself."
Because she has not had the opportunity to work with Lu Yi recently, the "jailer" Ms. Rei Miyamoto, who felt that she was about to be marginalized and was very unwilling to do so, said with a cold eye.
His former best friend and love rival was so sarcastic. According to Takagi Saya's past personality, he would definitely blow up and tear her to pieces.
But after hearing Miyamoto Rei say this, Takagi Saya just turned around weakly, with a look of helplessness on her face.
"Li! Mom, she has already confessed in her heart. Besides, it is difficult to control people's thoughts. The bad thoughts towards Lu Jun just passed by for a moment. Don't you think Mom will be fine now? If
If you really have any serious bad thoughts, you should also know what a mother should be like."
On the contrary, Li, who used to have a weaker personality, was unreasonable and unforgiving: "Oh, so I still have some bad thoughts towards Lu Jun, right? Auntie, I'm not talking about you, you obviously signed a master-servant contract.
The contract has been made, you should recognize the reality earlier."
Yes, whether Gao Cheng Yuriko didn't care because she didn't believe in the existence of magic, or because she wanted to keep the Gao Cheng family alive, she finally signed a master-servant contract with Lu Yi.
But since the master-servant contract has a price that far exceeds that of a fair contract, it will naturally have a corresponding effect. From then on, once Gao Cheng Yuriko had any bad thoughts towards Lu Yi in her heart, she would physically fight him
Being mentally punished and in such a weak state like today is actually considered light.
This kind of effect, which is like taming animals, makes Yuriko Takagi who signed the contract filled with fear. She regrets her decision to sign the contract. No, she can't even feel regret now, because this kind of regret is also for Lu.
Those who are easy or bad will be punished.
The master-servant contract in the arcane magical world is so overbearing. Fortunately, each of these contracts has a certain mental burden on the "master" among the signers. Otherwise, the nobles in the magical world would not have to worry about their own guards, attendants, and stewards.
, the loyalty of the serfs, wouldn’t everything be fine if all master-servant contracts were simply signed?
Even if there is no price for the master-servant contract, the entire magical world will fall into a pool of stagnant water. The superior will always be the superior, and the common people at the bottom will always be the common people at the bottom, and no changes will occur.
However, the actual situation is that even regular knights in the nobility who are already extraordinary professionals can only sign one master-servant contract at most. Senior mages can only sign ten master-servant contracts at most, and only legendary mages can sign
, can sign a three-digit master-servant contract.
Lu Yi chose to sign a master-servant contract with Yuriko Takagi, partly because, in the entire Fujimi Academy survivor base, this woman was the only thing Lu Yi feared, not in terms of force, but psychologically. Lu Yi, a former clerk,
Yi Ke didn't dare to guarantee that after traveling through time for a few months, he would be as domineering as other senior time travellers.
On the other hand, this woman was indeed a rare internal affairs and economic talent. Lu Yi was reluctant to kill her when he didn't know what the next world would be.
So Lu Yi used conditions such as "cure the radiation damage", "guarantee Saya's safety", "ensure the continued existence of the Gaocheng family" as temptations, and signed a master-servant contract with Gaocheng Yuriko.
Of course, as for the future bloodline issue of the Gaocheng family, let’s just sprinkle some water on it.
"you?!"
Finally, Miss Gao Cheng couldn't help it anymore. She had accepted her fate now and made some plans for her future destiny that she never dared to think about before. She needed to bow her head to a competitor who would never ease the relationship in the past, but
This does not mean that she is allowed to be bullied.
But just when Takagi Saya was about to jump up and fight Miyamoto Rei for three hundred rounds, Takagi Yuriko, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, grabbed her daughter: "Saya!"
With such a sound, Miss Takagi stopped. After all, Yuriko Takagi was responsible for Saya Takagi's usual teachings. And compared to her father who was often away from home, Yuriko Takagi disciplined Saya Takagi more. Saya Takagi respected and loved her mother.
Besides, there is still a lot of awe.
After calling out Saya Takagi, Yuriko Takagi barely supported her body and sat up, surprising Rei Miyamoto with a bow: "I'm very sorry, Team Leader Miyamoto, it was Saya and I who were rude."
Seeing that Yuriko Takagi, who used to be considered an elder, was so groveling, Rei Miyamoto, who was essentially a good girl, couldn't care less about her little resentment. She helped Yuriko Takagi up in a panic, looked at the two of them in embarrassment, and finally
Stomping his foot: "Well, anyway, Mr. Lu is still waiting for you. Aunt Lily, please be more careful in the future and don't have any bad thoughts again."
With that said, Miyamoto Rei left the bedroom first, obviously leaving time for the mother and daughter to communicate.
After Miyamoto Rei went out, Takagi Saya said angrily, "What?" and then supported Takagi Yuriko, wanting her mother to rest for a while.
Takagi Yuriko rejected Takagi Saya's move to let her lie back down, held her daughter's hand, and said with a fragile expression and weak voice that Takagi Saya had never seen before:
"Shaye, I'm fine. I don't need to rest any more. That person is asking me to come over. I can't delay for too long, but before I leave, I want to have a good chat with you."
"Okay, mom, just ask. Don't be too anxious. Don't get too excited now."
Saya Takagi quickly comforted Yuriko Takagi. Seeing that her daughter was so sensible now, Yuriko Takagi was both relieved and distressed. Thinking of all this, she was grateful——
"Ahem!" Yuriko Takagi, who stopped some merely disrespectful thoughts in time and suffered another small punishment, smiled bitterly, held down Saya Takagi who was about to rush over to check the situation, and solemnly asked her daughter:
"Shaye, what do you think of Mr. Lu?"
