Chapter 216

~6 min read 1,145 words

The Red Demon Clan has no adulthood in the conventional sense of the Outside World; they believe that as long as a child masters Advanced Magic, that counts as an independent adult.

And what a child does after becoming independent is, of course... finding a job.

But just as Explosion Magic is evaluated as a joke magic, after Huihui formally received the Graduation Certificate issued by the Red Prison Academy, she encountered the harsh setback of only knowing one joke magic and being unable to find a job.

"Sorry, we don't need someone who only knows joke magic here."

"It's regrettable; although I really want to help fresh graduates by providing a job they can support themselves with, I don't want my clothing store to possibly be blown up by your Explosion Magic someday in the future."

"Fishing doesn't require Explosion Magic, and if you just want to blow up fish, please go blow them up elsewhere, thank you!"

……

In the Red Demon Village, no one needs a little girl who only knows Explosion Magic and no other magic to work part-time in their trades, especially a young person always thinking of making it big with her own magic.

"Why has it come to this?"

Another day of failed job hunting; Huihui knelt down dejectedly on the street.

"Isn't it because you, Huihui, only know one Explosion Magic?"

Yunyun, who accompanied her job hunting, complained; she too had learned Advanced Magic, but because she still mastered a large amount of practical low- and mid-tier magic, she became the villagers' favorite odd-job worker after graduation.

Just like now, Yunyun accompanied Huihui job hunting while using composite magic combining Wind and Fire systems to do the work of clearing accumulated snow from the village streets.

The daily wage isn't very high, but it's enough for Yunyun to support herself with some surplus, and recently Yunyun is saving money to buy a gift for her boy, to thank Broly for letting her accumulate so many Skill Points.

"Hey, isn't this the capable Yunyun, and Huihui, my fellow parasite NEET companion? Good afternoon, you two."

Lolisa walked over and greeted them.

"Ah, it's Mr. Lolisa, the Red Clan's first hikikomori; where are you headed?"

Yunyun politely greeted him, while Huihui climbed up from the ground with a displeased face, looking at the approaching youth and retorting fiercely: "Who's your NEET companion? NEET refers to a guy like you who wholeheartedly parasites off his parents, but I, Huihui, am just down on my luck and temporarily can't find a formal job!"

"What's the difference? Isn't it still relying on family to support you?"

Lolisa shrugged his shoulders, then answered Yunyun's question.

"I'm heading to the Divination Hut to divine my luck."

"Got it, you're going to pester Miss Soket again."

Yunyun instantly understood his purpose.

"Hey, what do you mean pester? That's called admiring her; I've just always been too embarrassed to confess."

"Then go confess and see if she doesn't dump you!"

Huihui was unhappy about this person calling her a NEET, so she deliberately picked a fight.

"I'll confess to her someday, but not now; you'd better mind yourself, NEET Huihui!"

Lolisa waved his hand at Yunyun and, stepping lightly, headed off to the Divination Hut for a paid date service with Miss Soket.

"Damn it, I absolutely have to find a job and get rid of the NEET label as soon as possible!"

。。。。

Two days passed again, and Huihui finally shut herself in her room.

Can't find it, simply can't find it; no one in the village wants her at all.

"Big sis, aren't you coming out to eat?"

"No, the cruel world outside, I don't want to go out at all!"

After enduring consecutive blows, Huihui already showed a tendency to turn into a hikikomori.

"Xiaomi, what's wrong with your big sister?"

A boy's voice came from outside; it should have been a voice she looked forward to hearing, but now it made Huihui feel dread; she didn't want him to see her useless self.

"Sorry, brother-in-law, Xiaomi doesn't know anything, because Big Sis didn't tell Xiaomi anything."

Xiaomi honestly answered Broly's question.

"Here's the situation: after graduation Huihui looked for a job in the village but never found one, and was even treated as a fellow parasite NEET companion by our village's first hikikomori big brother; she should be devastated right now."

Yunyun, who came along, explained the situation to Broly outside.

"I haven't been devastated at all; I just stayed up late yesterday and only got up now!"

The room door was pulled open, and Huihui, sniffling snot, stood at the doorway retorting.

"Ah, sorry, I thought you were devastated."

Yunyun hurriedly apologized.

"You don't actually need a job; I can support you."

Broly said.

He's recently researching with Wiz to popularize the production of Vitality Potions.

That is, simplifying the complex potion-making process to a difficulty where ordinary apothecaries can learn it too.

And this matter already has some progress; at least Wiz can now produce some Vitality Potions with slightly weaker effects.

"I don't want to be a NEET."

Huihui said loudly.

"But Broly isn't your parents!"

Yunyun reminded her.

"Husband's money is also money!"

"So, Huihui, do you have any leads on finding a job?"

"This..."

Huihui didn't know how to answer; if she had leads on a job, how could she be so dejected she didn't want to leave her room?

"Honestly, you can rely on us more; we're friends, and might become family in the future."

Yunyun persuaded her.

Huihui: "......"

Those words were spoken lightly enough, but she didn't want that at all; she wasn't that big NEET Yunyun, able to accept being a parasite with a clear conscience and even using her parents' money to entangle Miss Soket of the Divination Hut......

【Hmm, Divination Hut, Soket, Divination?!】

Huihui's mind flashed with inspiration, and she perked up at once: "Haha, who do you think I, Huihui, am? Could a mere matter of finding a job possibly stump me?"

"Eh?"

Yunyun blanked for a moment, then asked: "So, you have some idea now?"

"I'm preparing to go to the Divination Hut and have Miss Soket do a divination for me.

Me, who has mastered Explosion Magic this kind of powerful magic, is impossible to be unable to find a job.

Not finding one right now is just because the job suitable for me to shine has not yet been discovered by me!"

Huihui said with great confidence; since the current her didn't know what the future her could do what, she would directly go to the Divination Shop and ask Miss Soket to divine for her, to see what the future her could actually do what!

In this world that possesses true divination capability, a powerful fortune teller might just be the strongest job consultation industry professional.
