Absolute Contract; End

Anyway, they were the culprits to begin with. I didn't kill them outright, but instead made them work to earn "money" and make up for their mistakes. That already counts as letting them off easy!

Besides, with the threat of Honkai, when the time comes, I won't have to worry about them refusing to sign a contract with me!
