Chapter 145: Looking at with New Eyes, the Capable Shirayuki (Chapter 8)

Kuro Usagi's tragic, world-shaking shriek soon spread throughout the Nameless territory.

The children playing in the backyard, Kanroji Mitsuri who was rebuilding her home in the front yard ruins, and Akame and the others who had only arrived today all heard the sound and came to watch.

After understanding the course of events, the gaze everyone turned toward Lin Que became filled with terror.

To make Kuro Usagi solely responsible for completing all the preparations for a large-scale festival—where did this streetlamp ornament come from?

"Um... Big Sister Kuro Usagi, how about we come help too?"

The fox-eared loli Lily helped up the kneeling Kuro Usagi, placed her on a nearby sofa, and spoke.

"Although we are a bit weak in terms of power, it's no problem for us to help with purchasing or moving things."

"That won't do, Lily."

Because she often acted as a host between major communities, Kuro Usagi knew exactly how troublesome this matter was.

"Even if we add the older children, the manpower is still far too lacking."

There were twenty-some children in the older group.

Besides them, counting Leticia, Kanroji Mitsuri, Akame, and the others, the total number of people was less than forty.

With just this many people, holding a Harvest Festival was simply impossible.

But if she were to just give up now, Kuro Usagi felt somewhat unwilling.

After digesting the spoils of war from 【Perseus】, Nameless had already mastered the method for mass-producing invisibility helmets and flight greaves.

Added to that were the Three-Color Haki cultivation method, breathing techniques, and the Imperial Arms Lin Que had told her about today.

Within the current Nameless, they had already mastered several channels for accumulating wealth, just waiting to spread their reputation.

And holding the Toli-Tunis Waterfall Harvest Festival was just the right opportunity.

Not only could they open a temporary shop at the Harvest Festival to do a wave of initial promotion.

As long as they could hold it successfully and spread the reputation of Nameless, they could also attract more people to make purchases.

Such a good opportunity was right before her eyes, and Kuro Usagi, who wanted to revitalize Nameless, naturally did not want to give up.

On the other side, seeing Kuro Usagi in a state of deep thought, Lily came before Lin Que and asked.

"Big Brother Lin Que, is there no good method?"

"As for methods, there are some."

Picking up Lily and placing her on his lap, Lin Que stroked her head and replied with a smile.

"If there aren't enough people, just recruit some to help."

He had managed to connect three worlds, after all; spending a few points to pull people from next door to work was easy.

"Recruit people? That is indeed a way to solve the problem."

Kuro Usagi thought for a moment: "But if we recruit a large number of people in a short time, it's easy to cause a situation where the quality of personnel is uneven."

Strength was secondary, after all, Nameless currently relied on Lin Que and the others.

If someone ill-intentioned or with poor character mixed in, that would be the real trouble.

One moment of carelessness could easily damage the reputation of Nameless, or even cause financial loss.

Not knowing that Lin Que could quickly recruit a wave of trustworthy workers, Kuro Usagi offered an opinion after a moment of silence.

"How about we spend money to hire some temporary workers?"

"Although it's easy to cause financial problems, as long as it's held successfully, everything can be earned back."

"As for the arrangements in some key areas, we can go find those former allies and ask them to help."

"For the sake of Lin Que and Lady Leticia, they shouldn't refuse, though we would owe them a favor."

"Actually, there's no need for it to be that troublesome."

Shirayuki, who had been silent not far away, raised her hand to signal at this moment.

"I can help find people to work, the kind that is free and easy to repay favors for."

"Eh? Isn't this Lady... Shirayuki?"

Kuro Usagi only then noticed there was an extra person in the community: "Why have you come to Nameless?"

Shirayuki: "?"

Why did it feel like this rabbit just wanted to call her by some very rude title?

Squinting her eyes to look at the other party, Shirayuki replied: "I received a request from Lady Baiyecha to join Nameless and work hard with you all from now on."

"Lady Shirayuki, you are joining Nameless!"

Kuro Usagi's eyes lit up, as if she thought of something: "May I ask, Lady Shirayuki, your status as the Master of Toli-Tunis Waterfall..."

"Still exists."

Seeming to know what Kuro Usagi wanted to ask, Shirayuki replied: "In fact, this is also what I was about to say."

"Although I have always been sleeping in the past, I don't have many acquaintances."

"But recently, a group of water spirits moved near the Tunis Waterfall and have been dealing with me."

"As long as we prepare a suitable living place for them after the stronghold is finished, it can be used as payment for their free labor."

"As for their numbers... if we count them all, we can probably scrape together about four hundred people."

"That's enough!"

Kuro Usagi jumped up in excitement: "There are still more than twenty days until the festival begins; if we start preparing now, completing the layout will be more than enough."

"Now the only thing we need to think about is the Gift Game." ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
