Marller smiled as she sat at the bar. Her day had gone pretty well so far; meaning the store manager position was going to be given to her at the end of the week. She was doing well at her Midgard duties, Hild hadn’t contacted her about any ‘mission failures’ or such, and the Goddesses were doing her job for her, in causing chaos in general.
Well, it was just Urd and Skuld working on Belldandy’s relationship with Keiichi, but it still counted.
But for now, it was a moment of pure relaxation. No assignments, no clients, and no need to do anything but enjoy a drink, and maybe even find a sap to toy with.
“I was looking for you.”
She sighed at hearing the voice of Senbee. “What is it now? Can’t you see I’m relaxing?”
The miniature demon smiled. “The Main Office sent up a contract for you. They say it’s time to go collect your fee.”
“I never get a day off,” growled the demoness. To be truthful, being sealed was starting to look good again. After all, when you were sealed, you didn’t have to do shit.
“Ah, I remember this one,” smirked Marller. It had been a simple contract, with some very simple mortals. They wanted her to give them something to put their martial arts master to sleep. So she promised them a meal that would do it, she just didn’t say it would only last for a decade.

But the skinny one, Soun, had promised a Tendo. The form of the ‘a’ was an ‘A’, which did suggest he had promised his youngest daughter.
But then again it left it open for them to take any daughter; intent was meaningless, only the letter of the contract.
“And Daimakaichō Hild wants them down at her office in an hour.”
“WHAT?” she yelled at Senbee. “I just now found out about it.”
“Ah, such is the cruelness of your fate,” he said. “Deal with it.”
Grumbling about needing a fly-swatter; she teleported away. After all, she needed to collect the payment due. The Saotome payment was easy, as the fat one only had one child. But for the Tendo agreement, his mistake meant she could take any Tendo child, or all of them.
