The girl nodded in my direction and a few moments later the same two ambassadors carried me towards the office of the director of the orphanage. They sat me down in the middle of the room and tied me up for some unknown reason, while the director began to walk around me.
- Who are you?
- Well, if we analyse your actions and the degree of their permissiveness, - I stretched out a small dramatic pause, - I think I am nobody and my name is nothing....
- Hm! Unexpectedly right answer, - the girl was surprised, - but why the fuck did you decide to fuck with my reputation, you little puppy! - I'm the most famous agent in all of Japan! I've found people like... Ouch, who am I talking to, how could you possibly know anything! Huh, - having spoken out, apparently, the accumulated stress released her a little, and she calmed down, - if you want all this to stop before it starts, just sign these papers and you can continue to live in this hole quietly and peacefully. - tapped her finger on the table.
- No! - I didn't think to look at the papers, whatever she wrote, I have other plans for this beauty....
- Do you realise what you've gotten yourself into! - in a high-pitched tone of voice from my future agent. So what? I need an agent anyway, and she has advertised herself as an unprincipled devil when it comes to her work and reputation, if anyone says anything about me, heh, she can chew them up if it causes problems.
- Yeah, I see. - I nodded, and blue flames enveloped me, freeing me from the ropes, and the chair I was sitting on burned, so I had to get up. - But you must not be stupid, or I'm wrong,' and her pretty face twisted in indescribable hatred for me. - You have absolutely no right to my job, yet, which means you can't kill me, right?
- Hm! We can easily get that cute girl in here and you'll sign the whole thing! - smugly sneered at me.
- Let's go! - I waved my hand, - if she got hurt for nothing, I'd be upset, but between my life and the life of a stranger, I'll choose mine....
- What do you want? - Looking at me, the girl asked calmly.
- Adopt me!
- Are you completely out of your mind? - From surprise, it seems, her eyes a little out of her orbits, how quickly her mood changes, huh.
- On the contrary! You're my ticket out of this clopovnik, - I decided to explain her conclusions, which I came to myself for half an hour of thought, - you're not stupid, and if I, at the age of four, issued something that stirred up the whole country, what future awaits me? It's more profitable to be in the same boat with me, isn't it? - You'll buy me a small house, where I'll live alone and supply you once a year with some work, which you can promote as my agent as you wish, and we'll keep my identity a secret, - especially since I plan to enter the canon, early fame will only complicate it, - and for all this you as an agent will receive five per cent.
- Fifty!
In the end we bargained and agreed on twenty-five, as I'd planned... I hope she wasn't too surprised that I wasn't acting like a four-year-old. In the orphanage I tried to pretend to be a child, but in front of her it was unreasonable, she was my future agent. I shrouded the room in flames, and myself, and held out my hand:
- Deal?
- What is it? - The girl was startled and took a step back, 'Do you have a fire quirk?
- Yes,' I nodded, not to tell her my secrets, and the fact that my flame does not emanate a drop of heat, she did not seem to notice, 'it's a contract, if you decide to throw me - your heart will just burn in the blue flame, - the girl hesitated, but then hesitantly shook her hand, and I, smiling happily to myself sighed, it's a pity that I do not have such an ability ...
- Deal!
