Officer, why stop him?
Naturally, it's because Castra was too eye-catching when he left the line.
But who is Castra? He's a master of bluffing!
Castra stopped at his track and immediately reasoned against the officer,
"This...a high-level figure in the Beast Paradise suddenly summoned me to do something for them!"
Castra confidently pointed at his forehead and explained,
"If you don't believe me, you can check the mark on my forehead. It's the mark from that high-level being!"
The "summoner" is naturally King Garfin, the biggest golden thigh.
The female officer had a look of distrust on her face, but she still strode over to Castra's place and stared at his forehead.
Soon, the female officer saw a glowing mark in the shape of a cat's paw print.
Others would not be able to distinguish whose paw mark this one belonged to, but as an officer, she knew all the high-level spirits in the Spirit World like the back of her hand.
! This mark—
The female officer subconsciously gasped and blurted,
"This- this! This mark belonged to THAT high-level being...yes, it's real!"
The female officer immediately took a few steps back and bowed politely at Castra.
Her attitude changed 180° in just a blink of an eye!
"Since that high-level being calls you for something, it must be urgent. You should go now so as not to anger that being."
"O-okay?" Castra scratched his cheeks as he slowly turned around, not knowing that the few officers behind him stared at his back in awe.
"To think that this Earth Faction humanoid spirit is serving THAT ONE!"
"Yes, isn't that one famous for being grumpy and moody?"
"Hush, I heard that his excellency is like that because he's nervous about the rank promotion."
"Oh, right. If his excellency succeeded, there would be one more SSS-rank spirit in our world!"
"Tsk. Only the Wind Faction will rejoice. Our Fire Faction will not like this fact."
"Still, who doesn't want to serve a great being...that humanoid spirit is so lucky. Is it because he's a Poop Shoveler Spirit?"
"Don't envy him. At the end of the day, he's just a cleaner!"
Castra left the site without any lingering feelings and rushed to go back to his humble abode.
On the way home, Poo started to lecture his host.
[Host, this is only a temporary solution. You can't avoid the officers as long as you still live in the Spirit World ⊙﹏⊙ ]
[I know, but where can I hide? I can't live outside of the Spirit World.]
[Host, you forgot that there's still one place where you can hide legally— ]
[It's the human world! (ﾉ≧∇≦)ﾉ ﾐ ┻━┻]
After flipping a virtual table, Poo immediately dressed up in a neat suit, acting like a salesman.
[That's why, host, you have to do the system's second mission!]
[You will get a summon chance once you finish a mission, and then you can hide in the Human World for a while!]
Keep getting summoned and the officers can't do anything about you!
[Poo...] Castra's eyes immediately lit up as he held Poo with reverence, a few inches above his palm.
[You're such a genius— ]
[Wait, host, I'll tell you upfront— the second mission is the last time we will provide you with the summoning chance!]
[Since we can't hijack the spirit world's system too often, after this chance, you have to rely on yourself~ ]
Castra's string of praises died in his throat.
Damn it. Why is his system not as OP as others?? In the end, he still had to rely on himself!
Disappointed, Castra clicked his tongue while urging Poo impatiently.
[Okay, okay, just give me the second mission!]
Poo immediately took out a gift box out of thin air.
[Here it is, host! With only 999 Fecal Coins, you can purchase a mission package! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧]
[There's a huge discount for a new host, so now, it's 99 Feral— Fecal Coins, limited to today only! Isn't it a huge bargain, host? (ʘᴗʘ✿) ]
Castra: ....
(ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻
[The second mission package is not free?? I have to buy it with Fecal Coins?? What kind of system is this, ah! Ah! Ah!!!]
He hasn't heard of any system asking the host to buy a mission package!
And the missions didn't even give Fecal Coins as mission completion rewards too!
[But host, if you don't do the missions, you won't get the summoning chance…]
[You will die, UwU.]
[UwU, UwU, hey, this is a forced buy and sell! 99 Fecal Coins? I don't even have any Fecal Coins left after buying the Bug Spray skill!]
And he felt that he must have gained some fame from the last summon's experience, right?
Maybe he wouldn't need the system anymore…
But Poo, as sharp as ever, immediately crushed that idea.
[Host, host, you HAVE to buy the second mission or the system will annihilate you on the spot!]
[Ahhhh!! You robber!! You might as well just sell me for money!]
[OmO you're so brave! It's my pleasure, host~ ]
DUNG! [You have purchased the [Second Mission Package] × 1 ]
[Deducting 99 Fecal Coins from your account— not enough balance!]
[Putting up the host for sale ••• ]
[You got 99 Feral Coins loan.]
[If you can't pay the money in the next 24 hours, your soul will be sold to the system!]
....the hell?
[Hello, Poo? I'm just joking about selling myself, okay? So why did you apply for a bank loan!!! Asjsbwjenskj— ]
Castra wanted to squeeze Poo to death but he was afraid of getting his hand dirty, so Poo luckily dodged early death.
Unfortunately, Dudu, who could see Poo since he's Castra's new pet, wasn't afraid of a poop.
If anything, Dudu had already raised his tweezers, about to roll Poo into a poop ball!
Dudu: DUDUUUU!!
Poop! Come here!
[Ahhh! Host! Host! Help!!]
Poo floated around while Dudu actually spread his wings that no one even knew existed and started to chase after Poo.
Instead of stopping Dudu, Castra actually sneered and clapped along.
[Go, Dudu! Roll him!!]
Poo immediately felt wronged.
[But you don't have money, host...I applied for a loan to help you...how could you do this to me...QAQ]
[But, but, no but! You sold me!! You piece of sh*t— Dudu, get him!!]
Just when Dudu was about to catch Poo and roll him into a ball, a cold voice suddenly came from the sky, echoing throughout the entire Lower Sky.
[Congratulations to Spirit Poop Shoveling Officer for the rank promotion to E-rank!]
Following the announcement, Castra's body started to glow in a green light, a special "aura" only for E-rank spirits.
Castra was instantly dumbfounded.
...?
What?
Rank promotion??
