Everyone Else Has a System

"There is a way… but there are things that are needed to be done beforehand," Zero spoke.

Hearing his words, both Elize and Cristine couldn't help but look at Zero as if he were some sort of messiah. For them, this problem was something their whole life depended upon.

The mere fact that a solution exists to their problem could have made them search every nook and cranny of this world, and now that a solution is just within their grasp, they couldn't contain their happiness.

"What needs to be done?" Spoke Cristine with a blaze in her eyes as if she could kill anyone Zero names without hesitation.

Though Zero turned silent after this and at his silence, the sisters couldn't help but get worried. Elize trickled with worry and asked,

"Is it difficult?"

'No, it's just a pain in the ass,' thought Zero without showing any expression and then spoke,"It will take time," shaking his head showing slight distress.

"How much time? Months? Years? Decades?" Asked Cristine, getting more tense with every moment, but Zero looked at her, slightly confused as he spoke,"what are you talking about? It won't take that long. At worst, maybe about 6 months. However, the ritual is kind of long and painful, also it'll require a few things that aren't really easily available. However… I guess you guys are quite lucky."

Then a smile forms on his face as he realises things aren't really as messed up as they seem. Perhaps he can utilize more than one person with a single action… hmmm.

Watching him grin, the girls couldn't help but feel creeped out before taking a step back each.

"Hey! What are you guys thinking?!" Zero exclaimed as he saw the sisters' apathetic look. Eliza spoke with a doubt in her words," though, are you really sure you can cure me? You don't look all that reliable, to be honest. How can we believe that you aren't just scamming us? I don't even feel a system from you, let alone any form of strength."

Hearing her sister's words, Cristine too looked at Zero with a doubtful gaze. The information that her sister could be cured made her so happy that she kind of overlooked the fact that all this could be just a facade and they might as well have been getting scammed by a nameless nobody.

"Well, that is true and honestly, I have no way of proving something like that without any proper planning. In the end, I guess all we could do is sign a mana contract. Perhaps that would be the only way to prove my credibility right now," Zero spoke as he stood up and took out a paper from his pocket with an uninterested look. From his expression, he just wanted to get over this part and move on.

Cristine and Eliza looked at Zero in a new light as they saw the mana contract paper. Mana contract papers aren't easily available to higher society, let alone the public. Even if they are available, they cost quite a hefty amount to get it.

Still satisfied with the way Zero was going, they accepted a mana contract as a base to put their trust in. Zero then looked at them before he began writing a few commands.

[Zero would completely cure Eliza's curse and he won't cause any harm to Eliza and people around her.

In return, Eliza and Cristine would help Zero out a total of 10 times, no matter what the situation.]

Looking at the paper, Cristine looked at it properly before adding a few lines,

[Zero would completely cure Eliza's curse and he won't cause any harm towards Eliza and people around her.

In return, Eliza and Cristine would help Zero out a total of 10 times, no matter what the situation.

However, if the lives of either Eliza or Cristine are in any kind of danger, they are allowed to escape from the situation or even reject it altogether.]

After that Zero added a few more lines, then Cristine added another. Zero made a few more changes and Elize too added a few of her own thoughts. After scribbling for another 30 minutes or so, the final contract with which all three of them were satisfied, was formed.

[Zero would completely cure Eliza's curse by his own means. He won't be doing any kind of harm to Eliza or Cristine in any of the process while also making sure that they don't have any discomfort during the process unless very necessary.

He would cure Eliza within the next 8 months of forming the contract.

He would be providing information about his current location every 3 weeks, unless and until the circumstances does not allow.

Under life threatening circumstances, he will tell the sisters about the dangers beforehand.

He will also not have any dirty or wrong thoughts about Eliza.

Eliza will stay obedient and follow all the procedures of the ritual without asking any question.

Cristine will make sure that Zero stays alive if he is in a situation where he can't save himself.

Both Elize and Cristine are not allowed to meddle with the personal information of Zero, and Zero is not to be involved with their personal matters unless extremely necessary.

Neither side of the party can harm each other.

Neither side of the party is allowed to tell any other person about the said contract and its content. They are also not allowed to talk about anything that happened between them. It will be as if they never met.

The mana contract will be torn 1 week after Eliza's curse has been removed]

"Well… this looks a bit messy, but I guess it's fine," Zero spoke and Cristine and Eliza couldn't help but nod as they looked at the contract. They even made sure to read the contract a couple of times so as to not miss anything.

After that, both sides put their blood on the contract, and the contract was signed. Zero smirked a bit before looking at the smiling faces of the sisters as they both looked at each other.

"I will be leaving from here and finding another place where I could get some rest," Zero spoke and both of them looked at Zero before Cristine spoke up,"why not stay here with us?"

Zero turned around and looked at Cristine with a slight smile as he spoke," I don't want to meet Lucia this soon."
