"Demon Witch?"

Lette crouched down, looking curiously at the demon-like little girl in front of him.

"Not easy at all, finally found her."

"Indeed."

Witch Slayer Jenny stretched lazily: "I say, boss, you better not forget to pay me.

Catching these two was quite a hassle."

Lette raised an eyebrow: "Since when did I become your boss?"

Emily leaned over: "I told them to call you that. After all, your name is pretty useful. When we're out there mentioning your name, it saves us a lot of trouble.

But every time we say we know you, that crowd gets curious about our relationship with you.

Alice claims to be your sister, I say I'm your disciple..."

Lette waved his hands repeatedly: "Alice being my sister is true, but you cannot claim to be my disciple.

Oh, you tear clothes in a fight!

People will think I'm some weirdo who loves taking in strange female disciples!"

"Well, it's too late, everyone knows now anyway."

Emily shrugged her shoulders and continued: "But for Jenny, Unica, and Gretel, it's rather awkward.

The three of them don't quite know what to call you.

Later we heard those Dark Elves calling you boss, and thought it sounded pretty good.

So we discussed, and from now on, they'll call you boss too."

"Well... alright then."

Lette didn't have any better ideas, so he just agreed.

Witch Slayer Jenny, seeing that Lette didn't object, secretly sighed in relief.

Though she still appeared unruly, through their travels, she had deeply understood the impact Lette had on this world, and his true status.

Not to mention, her safety lock for witch rampages required a lot of Witch Power.

In this world, or perhaps all worlds, only Lette, who controlled the Fairy Tale Element Subspace, could provide it to her.

Even if Lette wasn't her enemy, just cutting off her supply of Witch Power would make her life difficult.

"When I found her, this girl was hunting a high-level demon."

Annie paused here and looked at Lette with an odd expression.

"Boss, did you know? I think this girl is more suitable to be your disciple than Emily."

Emily was immediately unhappy: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here."

Lette raised an eyebrow too: "Why do you say that?"

"Heh, as a Demon Witch, to obtain Witch Power, she needs to constantly hunt demons.

But in this golden age of the Holy Light Church, finding a demon is extremely difficult.

This little girl, however, somehow got hold of a demon summoning array."

Then she actually paid people to summon demons so she could kill them herself, and then used her Witch Power to counter-kill them.

This way, not only could she devour the demon's power, but she could also get compensations for contract breaches."

Lette raised an eyebrow: "That does align with the Little Red Riding Hood story."

Emily twisted awkwardly: "Does it?

So Little Red Riding Hood is like bait, used to catch the Big Bad Wolf?"

As the contractor of the Fairy Tale Element · Wolf, Emily shivered when looking at the witch Little Red Riding Hood.

"Wow, is the red on Little Red Riding Hood's cape actually stained with the Big Bad Wolf's blood?"

Lette spread his hands: "The higher the hunter, often the more they appear as the prey.

However, this girl's shamelessness reminds me a lot of when I was young!"

No one expected Little Red Riding Hood to grit her teeth, lift her head, and glare at Lette with hatred.

"You, are you the legendary Holy Sin Lait?"

"Correct! I don't change my name when walking or sitting! The great hero who saved the world, Lord Lette, that's me!"

Emily pouted: "The name's right, but secretly changing the prefix doesn't help.

But, who would've thought Lette is so famous? Even in such a remote village, people have heard of him?

My place doesn't even worship the Holy Light Goddess."

Little Red Riding Hood angrily punched the ground: "Of course, I know him!

Because he tricked the demons badly, making my life increasingly difficult!"

Hearing Little Red Riding Hood say this, everyone's interest surged.

"What do you mean?"

Little Red Riding Hood clenched her fist: "Several years ago, the demons were easy to trick.

Though cruel, they were straightforward and not very cunning.

Compared to those devious devils, they were simply stupidly endearing.

But four years ago, the demons coming to this world suddenly decreased.

Even for a while, the richest offerings couldn't summon a single demon!

I asked a sorcerer to find out, and they told me.

The demons in the Demon Realm had all gone to some sort of talent show!

Only demons who succeeded in the show could enter this world and hunt a man named Holy Sin Lait.

In other words, apart from the first-ranked demon, no other demons would come to this world.

And the only goal of that demon coming here would be to seek out and hunt Holy Sin Lait!

This resulted in me not eating a single demon from the Demon Realm for two whole years!

None!"

Saying this, Little Red Riding Hood wiped her tears: "Those two years, I survived by eating demons raised by sorcerers.

You know, those home-raised demons, in terms of taste and nutrition, can't compare at all to the wild natural demons from the Demon Realm!"

Emily looked blankly at Lette: "Really? There's a difference between home-raised and wild demons?"

Lette rolled his eyes: "There is indeed such a difference. Some sorcerers or wizards, when performing some dark magic, need specific demons to increase their success rate.

For instance, with the Soul Charm Technique, if there's an Enchanting Demon to assist, it becomes much more effective.

But having to summon an Enchanting Demon from the Enchanting Prison of the Demon Realm each time before casting makes it very cumbersome.

Plus, this not only requires paying a premium for offerings but also carrying the risk of demon rampage backlash.

Tedious, high cost, and high risk indeed don't make a good option.

So, some mages improved upon this by summoning some demons and tricking them into breach of contract, then imprisoning them, so they stayed here long-term and couldn't return to the Demon Realm.

Like this, carrying these home-raised demons avoids disadvantages and directly completes magical enhancements.

Of course!

Home-raised demons, without the nourishment of the Demon Realm and tormented by the laws of the Mortal World, are quite weak compared to wild demons, not as ferocious.

As for the meat?

Sorry, I haven't tasted it yet."

"Never tasted a demon?"

"Ha, never tasted a home-raised one."

Lette raised an eyebrow, looking towards Little Red Riding Hood: "I remember later the talent show was put on hold, and other demons could enter this world again?"

"Yes! But now they're becoming much more cautious and meticulous when signing contracts!"

Little Red Riding Hood was close to tears again: "Before, a Demon Contract only needed an ancient parchment scroll.

Now?

If you don't have five indemnity clauses and ten supplementary clauses, they won't even sign!

Do you know how expensive scrolls are?"

Lette chuckled awkwardly, then pulled a thumb-sized Abyss Crystal from his pocket.

The intense negative energy made the other girls shy away.

Only Blood Witch Scarlett and Demon Slayer Witch Little Red Riding Hood's eyes lit up.

"Interested in signing a contract with me?"
