Fish Prison

"Here you go, this is your wage for the week."
After passing over a small pouch, the woman with her legs crossed behind the desk casually made a 'Check' in a notebook and then, without looking up, waved her hand to dismiss him and said:
"Remember to file your taxes... Next!"
"Wait a minute!"
After pouring out the coins from the pouch and looking at the eight large and one small, totaling nine filthy coins in his palm, Leon couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, almost wanting to pounce on her and fight to the death right there and then.
"Damn it! I just repelled the evil god who was trying to erode the world this Tuesday! You bastard even wants to deduct the salary of the savior?"

I! Cleaner!

In the somewhat bewildered expression of Leon, the puppet male lead on stage, who was suspended by strings, had already finished reciting his opening lines with great emotion.


Then, he stepped forward with gracefully measured stage movements, seemingly fast yet slow, toward the next "plot point." Meanwhile, Leon, taking advantage of the scene transition while the tavern backdrop was being set up, leaned over to the princess's ear, full of doubt, and asked,


"Veronica, do you see that male lead on stage, is he a human or a puppet?"


Princess Veronica was slightly taken aback by the question, not understanding why Leon would ask that. But remembering Leon's "job," her expression immediately turned serious, and she similarly tilted her head to whisper,


"Human! He appears human to me! Do you see Elijah as a puppet?"
