"Is it really necessary? I mean, we are just occupying a few rooms in your house," Volta frowned."Well, Moonlight is an exception for now since she is mentoring me for free, which means she can bypa.s.s this one, For Yaya, well, around 1 year worth since you modified my house for free but I cut off 6 months since you did not even ask me about this matter and done it without me knowing! So you only got 6 months worth of free rent. As for you Voltsan, I think a month will be enough?" I said to them.
Moonlight sighed in relief since she can get out from the problem of rent in the meantime but Yaya and Volta seems to have a problem with it.
"The heck with the one week free Kazuma! I am literally crying right now, why only one week? Yaya got 6 months and Moonlight get to have it free while me only have a month? This is injustice man, where is the gender equality here?" Volta wiped off his tears. Yep, he is indeed crying. The f*ck...
"I am fine with it Kazuma but make it one year and 6 months. This is an effort of mine and only get a year? I want to get extension!" Yaya frowned.

I scratch my head on this, well, it is true that Volta had a bit of trouble there since he only get a month free of payment than the girls which is really like I just made it very biased on him. And Yaya seems to be haggling. Welp, if they forced me on it via magic, then I can"t fight back and I might get to be penniless more if I forced enforce the rule to them and they might overthrow me instead. Haisss, I just can"t believe these guys are so... well, I should stop there.
"Alright alright, you two can get a year and 6 months free of charge. But I want to get to the payment methods to all of you. Moonlight will have the training time as your payment. While I don"t know what you two can pay me. Money is one of the things I needed the most since the food that we will be consuming are more troublesome now that you all are going to be partaking the breakfast, lunch and dinner now. Just so you know I am a poor bloke, and buying food is not always enough for all of you," I explained. This way, money can be easily earned by me.
"Oh, I forgot about this Kazuma. Your refrigerator is currently a magical tool that I created. Once you put something in, it duplicates itself whenever you pull one ingredient out. What is more, the items inside the refrigerator will undergo "freeze of time" where they will stay the same quality despite staying there for how many years. They won"t rot and will remain fresh," Yaya explained.
My ears perked up but I don"t understand what she meant about "duplication".
"Can you elaborate to me what is this "duplication" thingie you are talking about?" I asked her. Honestly, I don"t understand what she was saying and I am just nodding like I understand but I really didn"t.
"Let me show you then since it is much easier to do," Yaya smiled and we move towards the kitchen and gathered in front of the refrigerator.
"See here Kazuma? There is a cancellation b.u.t.ton here on the center. Once you click here, the duplication magic will null and the item you take out won"t duplicate itself. But if you click it again and activate the magic, look here and see."
Yaya opened the refrigerator and it revealed the densely packed refrigerator filled with food. Yaya pulled out an apple out and she beckons us.
"Peer inside and look for another apple. I a.s.sure you there is only one apple and this is the apple I am holding right now," Yaya said.
Volta, Moonlight and I tried searching for the apple she mentioned and indeed, I don"t see any apple at all.
"Now see here and watch the duplication magic this refrigerator made," Yaya closed the door of the fridge but she opens it again.
"Now take a look and see if there is another apple out there," Yaya ordered.
I peered inside and I was stunned because an apple is sitting on the tray of fruits inside. It was untouched and not a single rot is present. Yaya closed it again and clicked the b.u.t.ton she mentioned earlier before she opens it again and pulls the apple out again.
"Now, this one is a method I made if you don"t want it to duplicate!" she closed the fridge and opened it again. Just like earlier, I peered on the fridge and did not find the apple at all. I was surprised by this. If this is a conventional appliance that can be sold for normal people, this would be a sure hit to the company as a very good innovation!
"Holy c.r.a.p! Yaya, how the heck did you think of that? How come I didn"t managed to hear any of this? Just storing your favorite pizza on this refrigerator and clicking the duplication b.u.t.ton, that would help me save enough money for pizza!" Volta exclaimed.
"..."Yaya.
"..." Moonlight.
"..." Me.
Volta looked at us and held out a peace sign awkwardly.
"Anyways Kazuma, food is not a problem. You can buy an extra food without buying it again," Yaya said.
"Hmm, then what about the electricity and water? They need payments too you know," I said to her. Let"s see if she can avoid payme-
"Oh, that is already solved. I already contacted the companies that supply water and electricity to cut off. I replaced it with crystal shards abundant in mana dense caves. For the electricity, I put electric shard that would last for a few centuries. Same for the water too which is water shard and just like the electricity shard, it would last for centuries too. It can be easily replaced too once it runs out," Yaya explained again.
"..."
I was speechless. This is not in my expectation at all. Did she just find out what I am about to ask to her? The heck. I sighed and scratch my head. I don"t have any reason to collect money now at all. Then what can they give as a rent?
"About the rent, will magic knowledge do?" Volta asked.
"Magic Knowledge?" I tilted my head.
"Like runes and arcane weapons. I can teach you good things about it," Volta said.
"Like burning swords?" I asked.
"Meh, burning swords are weak and they are brittle. What I am saying is arcane weapons like tomes that uses mana to utilize powers and summoning temporary allies to do your bidding. I am knowledgeable about it and a master, so are you in?"
