The Yotsuya Residence.
With the Yotsuya siblings off to School and Touko Yotsuya out for work, Gabriel was the only living person left in the entire house.
The curtains in Miko's room were tightly drawn, and in the pitch-black bedroom, the computer monitor became the only source of light.
Gabriel was sprawled on the tatami. She rested her smooth chin on her left hand while her right hand slid the mouse, her eyes rapidly browsing the most popular shopping websites.
Among Exorcism Tools, the most sought-after items in the last three months were Prayer Beads and stones called Energy Stones.
"Hah? A string of Prayer Beads actually costs 30,000 Yen? Why not just commit highway robbery! The lowest price for an Energy Stone is actually 10,000 Yen? Since everything is sold so expensively, it seems my Exorcism Tools should also be priced a bit higher—at least 30,001 Yen!"
Charging one extra Yen was purely to maintain a sense of superiority!
How could Exorcism Tools manufactured by mere Spiritual Mediums, things that couldn't even be guaranteed as real or fake, possibly compete with a Cross produced by Heaven!
She was going to give the entire world of Psychics a little taste of "Heavenly Shock."
She would make them understand the meaning of a true Dimensional Reduction Strike!
She would make those fellows, who could only earn money from ordinary people, buy her Cross through clenched teeth!
If they dared to intentionally lower prices or engage in any "bad money drives out good" behavior, Gabriel wouldn't mind performing an offline solo kill to let those who dared to cut off her financial path understand the meaning of a Battle Angel!
She knew several Divine Arts that could easily "dox" someone!
The Divine Art—Divine Walk was one of them.
Divine Walk allowed the user to move freely to any place they desired, provided they weren't discovered.
Sometimes, business warfare was just that simple and crude!
"Sigh, a single penny can stump a hero."
Gabriel curled her lips helplessly: "The configuration of Miko's computer isn't great, and replacing it with a new one requires a lot of money. I also need a new phone right now. Many games these days require top-ups to be fun; it really won't do without money..."
Working a part-time job was impossible. Even if she lacked money, she would rather be the boss and exploit the employees under her.
Ding.
A notification popped up in the bottom right corner of the computer.
The item you ordered has been Dispatched.
"The ordered Cross Necklace should arrive the day after tomorrow. Even if they are all cheap goods, as long as I take action, their aesthetics will definitely reach the level of luxury goods."
Gabriel casually glanced at the logistics information.
Once these necklaces arrived, she planned to imitate the Lily flower in Miko Yotsuya's hand, apply a Guardian Divine Arts to them, and then list them for sale online.
To highlight their divinity and uniqueness, Gabriel intended to use Divine Speed for delivery.
However, she was too lazy to move herself, but fortunately, Divine Walk could also move other objects.
As long as it wasn't herself being moved, there wouldn't be a socially embarrassing incident of only her underwear moving, so it didn't matter even if she was discovered.
"I wonder if Miko can successfully sell that part of the bouquet. I'm out of money again..."
With a melancholy expression, Gabriel opened a video website and listlessly watched world news.
All the money Miko Yotsuya had just transferred to her had been used to stock up on goods, so she currently didn't have a single cent on hand.
Gabriel played a few rounds of San Guo Sha, and after being utterly crushed by some pay-to-win heroes, she instantly lost interest.
She conveniently left a negative review for San Guo Sha and temporarily banished the game to the "cold palace."
Once she had money, the grievances she suffered today would surely be repaid a hundredfold!
Suddenly, Gabriel swiped to a video that seemed to be about a Game Power-leveler earning over 10,000 a month.
"Oh? Doesn't require much skill, just clearing Daily Quests and stamina to make money, with events being extra... I feel like this has potential!"
A flash of inspiration struck Gabriel's brain, and she had a great idea.
It was impossible for her to work for someone else, but there just happened to be two "unemployed vagrants" at home who could be exploited.
Gabriel recalled the Divine Arts she mastered and confirmed that the idea rising in her mind was feasible.
Thus, she scrambled up from the floor and ran downstairs barefoot, finding Uncle Yotsuya and the Large Dog in the living room.
"Uncle! Good doggy! I see that you're usually quite bored, and no one talks to you. I can't really stand to watch it, and I feel like you should have your own ways of entertainment. Why don't I teach you how to play online games so you can relax yourselves!"
Gabriel unconsciously put on her most perfect side, speaking to the "two" of them as if she were an Angel in the Human World.
Hearing this, Uncle Yotsuya was so shocked that the glasses on his face almost fell off. He asked somewhat uncertainly, "Can something like that really be done?"
He was a ghost now and could not touch objects in reality.
"Games...?"
The Large Dog tilted its head curiously, its ears on both sides of its head twitching.
Gabriel gave a firm smile: "Uncle, don't look down on the heritage of Heaven. If the Celestial Realm exists in this world, I'd want to take you there to broaden your horizons!"
"You two come over here. Uncle Yotsuya can temporarily use this phone that Miko replaced. Good doggy, this computer is yours!"
"I heard being a Game Booster is quite profitable. Uncle, you and the Large Dog can try it. Maybe you can help Mrs. Yotsuya lighten the family's burden..."
Hearing this, Uncle Yotsuya pushed up his glasses. His eyes were filled with unprecedented drive as he said without hesitation, "Please, you must help me. I want to be the Game Power-leveler you mentioned. Let me, an irresponsible husband and father, also contribute a part to this family!"
After speaking, he even pulled along the confused Large Dog.
Through a mix of deception and coaxing, he successfully brought the Large Dog onto the "pirate ship."
"Good~"
The smile on Gabriel's face grew increasingly radiant.
Two more employees to exploit in the future!
Time flew by, and as the sun was about to set, Gabriel finally finished teaching Uncle Yotsuya and the Large Dog how to become qualified Game Power-levelers.
The reason it took so long was mainly because too much time was wasted on the Large Dog.
At this moment, Uncle Yotsuya was like a god of war, meticulously grinding through orders.
The Large Dog had also completely immersed itself in the gaming world.
In contrast, Gabriel was lying carefree on the sofa, watching TV programs with a leisurely face.
This kind of life is truly comfortable~
...
Miko Yotsuya arrived at the front door carrying Gabriel's school uniform and Student ID.
She hadn't expected Gabriel to be a Transfer Student in her class. When she first heard the news, she thought it was just a coincidence of names.
Only after speaking with the homeroom teacher did she confirm it was the same person.
What made Miko Yotsuya happiest was that the bouquets she brought to school were snapped up by students and teachers, earning her quite a bit of money!
"Gabriel should be very happy when she hears this..."
Miko Yotsuya opened the door, intending to give the uniform and the earned money to Gabriel, when she heard the conversation of several people in the living room.
Kyousuke Yotsuya: "My god! The phone is fl-flying!"
Gabriel: "Calm down. This is one of the most advanced technologies from abroad. Don't act like a country bumpkin making a fuss!"
Mrs. Yotsuya: "Foreign technology is so amazing! It actually takes orders and grinds games automatically. The level of intelligence is comparable to a human..."
Gabriel: "Of course! This is a Program I wrote myself. Not to brag, but you definitely won't find a second one in this world!"
Miko Yotsuya walked into the living room at the sound.
When she clearly saw the scene before her, the bag in her hand fell to the floor with a thud.
