"In any case, good to know you're not as much shit as other people. You have your reasons to be pissed and grumpy, I get you."
"Definitely poured fuel to that attitude when we met, so I can't complain about that."

Yliss then stretches her arms a bit.

"Anyway, gonna take a walk until Team Aqua Vitae decides to actually do something interesting. See ya, Kazuto. I'll promise I'll try to be better in the future."

She stands up and starts her walk around town. For a few steps away from the tavern at least, before she pulls out her tablet, squats down and began to focus on the screen.

"A better player, that is!"
"You suckers, you fools, I now have Guild Powers on my side, I'm invincible! Ahahahaha!"

Thus, her face is now shrouded by flashing rainbow colors from Clash of Legends' Recruit-A-Legend screen.

"... That might actually be the wiser choice. She's crazy good and crazy disturbing."
"Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if, in the castle, she managed to stab someone with their own bones while I was looking away."

"What can I say, money corrupts and a lot of money corrupts a lot."
"Plus... Just between you and me..."

Yliss leans forward to Kazuto's ear, accidentally pressing her chest against him a bit during it. Then, she whispers into the ear.

"Maybe Serena can ultimatively guide me to Freya so I can give her hell..."

She returns to her normal sitting stance, blissfully unaware of what happened during the whisper.

"I see..."
"Guess I've been unfair to you, then. Sorry about that."

"In any case, I guess we're done for now, Serena. If you would excuse me..."

Yliss stands up, walks up to Kazuto and sits down next to him.

"... Hey."

"Well, you know what kind of person I am by now, so it's only natural, Serena..."

Yliss side-glances to the other parties involved. Obviously, first to the succubi sisters, then to Marcia, then to Shoes and finally, because it's hard to see him early, Jenkins.

"... So we're all part of a bigger party now, contributing our, let's say, unique abilities and capabilities to a higher cause."
"A higher cause leading up to a lot of stress and, if the castle was any indication, even more shenanigans... Ah, the things you do for a lot of money. I'm in, but I will complain about the situation sometimes, that's a guarantee."

With that, she signs the contract.

"If you don't mind, I'll catch a bit of air. Be right back."

Yliss stands up and goes outside, looking at the sky.

"..."
"... It's probably too early to say, but... having meatspace friends surely is weird..."

Noticing her own smile, she waits until it fades on its own, then returns to Serena and her newcomers.

Yliss looks at the contract for a moment before thinking about it.

"Hmmm..."
"I know you're a goddess and all, but after meeting Belphegor, there seem to be big honchos amongst the demons that are actually passable... Being contracted to kill someone would kinda feel weird if the target turns out to be an actually decent fella."
"... Maybe we can adjust the contract to just defeating the Demon Lord to fulfill it? If he's an evil guy, we can still agree to chop off his head."
