Shadow Slave

A strange expression appeared on Sunny's face.

'Lend her a hand? Me? Why would a Master need help from an Awakened?'

Meanwhile, Master Jet added:

"You'll be generously rewarded, of course. Well… I can't guarantee the generous part, really, but there will definitely be a reward."

His eyes gleamed.

"Really? What kind?"

She chuckled.

"A fair share of contribution points? Enough to exchange for a decent Memory, at least. Plus, didn't you say that you owe me a favor?"

That did not sound bad at all. Saint was on the verge of reaching the coveted [200/200] status, and was currently just a few shadow fragments away from it. However, Sunny couldn't really agree to the proposal without knowing what exactly she expected him to do.

…Or could he?

Master Jet was one of the two Ascended he knew, and his only contact to the government. This was a relationship worth maintaining, which meant that it wasn't wise to refuse her request for assistance.

Plus, Sunny quite liked her, and also owed her a lot… even before she had saved him during the Gate battle. They were both from the outskirts, and had a rather good rapport.

They had a connection.

He lingered for a moment, and then said:

"Alright, no problem. I'll do it."

Master Jet answered with satisfaction in her voice.

"Good. I'll come pick you up, then."

Sunny glanced around, evaluating how presentable his living room was. He was suddenly a bit nervous.

'What the hell? What are you nervous for, fool?'

He cleared his throat, and then said:

"Sure… oh, wait. Let me give you an address…"

Master Jet laughed.

Sunny smiled slightly.
