A Little Game

In front of Frod, Angel used their previous contract as a template and added a new supplementary clause.

—Should any unforeseen change or turn arise on the basis of the original contract, a promise of corresponding weight would be owed according to the circumstances at the time of that turn.

In truth, the newly added clause still had many loopholes. However, Frod and Angel had already reached a basic consensus before this, and Frod had once again made his promise with the will of the world as witness, so neither of them paid much attention to those loopholes.

Angel's demand was not difficult. "If I need to take action, then you will automatically owe me a promise. As for that promise, I can guarantee that it will be a simple request within your capabilities, on the premise that it does not endanger your safety or restrict your freedom."

Frod thought about it and agreed. He himself knew very well that his value was limited, and there was not much among that limited value that could help Angel. Presumably, even if Angel made a request, it would not be too difficult.

After the promise was made, Angel leaned against the side and feigned sleep, leaving some time and space for Frod to speak with Sunny and Yada.

While pretending to sleep, Angel was also considering where Frod's value lay.

When Angel had first proposed signing a new supplementary clause, it had been entirely because he disliked the fact that Frod's promised favor had gone unfulfilled. To be honest, he had not thought of asking Frod to do anything.

Because he also knew clearly that Frod's value was actually quite limited.

The current Frod was not strong enough to serve as muscle. As an assistant, they lacked a foundation of mutual trust.
