"So you want a thod for healing the ridians," Lily Gos said, pouring two cups of tea. "But doesn’t our sect have one?"
"I want a non-cruel thod," Tyler replied, taking a sip of the tea. He was now sitting in Lily’s office.
"But I don’t have one—aaahhh." Suddenly, she held her head, wincing in pain.
"Are you alright?" Tyler stood up, concerned.
"Don’t mind her. I do have the thod," Lily said. This ti, her deanour felt quite different.
"Are you Ms. Lily Gos?" Tyler asked in confusion.
"Oh yeah. It’s a long story. But to cut it short, I have multiple personalities. My personality is Detective. Her personality is... Defective," she explained, shaking her head in resignation.
Tyler didn’t know what multiple personalities were, so Lily explained a little. It ant a ntal health condition where one has two or more separate personalities that control their behaviour at different tis.
"Did you get a job?" Lily asked.
"Nope. Not yet," Tyler replied, but he had a bad feeling about where this was going.
"With the look on your face, it seems like you already guessed. Yep, work for , and the thod to restore ridians is yours," Lily said.
Tyler considered her offer. Working for Lily Gos could be beneficial in many ways, not just for the ridian healing thod but also because getting a job in Law Enforcent was very hard. Lily was a detective under the Investigation Departnt, which was under Law Enforcent.
"What kind of work would I be doing?" Tyler asked cautiously.
"Babysitting," Lily murmured.
"I heard you," Tyler said, rolling his eyes.
"Hehehe. Investigative work, mostly. You’ll be helping solve cases, gathering information, and handling various tasks. Even the patrol departnt will dare not touch you," Lily explained. "Also, so cases don’t need to be cracked soon. So you will get lots of free ti too."
Lily was really hoping Tyler would join her. She didn’t know when her other personality would offend so people that she shouldn’t and get thrown into the sea.
Tyler weighed his options.
"Alright, I’ll do it," Tyler agreed. Since he decided, he would never regret it.
"Do what? Let tell you, pretty face. You can have my body but not my heart." Lily’s defective personality popped out.
Or maybe not. He was already regretting it a little.

**Work Register Office**
The Work Register Office is where disciples register their job or their business. After getting a job or starting a business, they simply have to register it down as a record. It’s also a place where many jobs are posted. There are also tasks posted on the wall. Anyone can accept and complete them for rewards.
"Why do I feel everyone is looking at ?" Tyler asked.
"They are not looking at you; they are looking at . I am very popular. Look, I will show you." Lily waved her hands at a group of official disciples. "Hey gays, I an – Guys."
"Oh no... It’s Lily Gos. RUN." They ran like they saw a monster.
"Oh, they are just too shy." Lily laughed.
Tyler understood why everyone was avoiding her like a plague.
"Ahhh... Lily Gos." The Elder in the office looked surprised. Tyler was even more surprised because even the Elders were wary of her.
"I am here to register my new assistant," Lily said.
"You got another assistant? Who is that poor fellow?" He looked at Tyler, who was standing behind Lily, with pity in his eyes. He wanted to ask why but didn’t care.
"Alright. Enough with the chit-chat, Elder. Give the register." She turned around and said, "You have the identity token, right? Take it out."
After finishing the procedure, Lily gave Tyler a token that said ’Investigation Departnt’ and shook his hand. "Welco to hell, I an – wait... I don’t know any rhyming words suitable for this. Well anyways, welco."
"Hey, since we are already here, let’s see if there are any investigation tasks." Lily said with excitent as she dragged Tyler to the task area.
She didn’t even glance at the tasks pasted on the wall and went to the small patrol section, where patrol disciples took breaks.
"Guess who?" She smiled as she entered. Soon after, many patrol disciples were running away from that building.
The few who couldn’t run because they had duty there could only strengthen their resolve and face her.
"I wonder if there are any tasks?" she said as she looked at the task book records.
"Huh... I don’t think there are any tasks available. Maybe one, like - cat gone missing tasks." The person said while trying to hide a sheet of paper.
"Oh look, it’s a fox lady from Pleasure Hall." She pointed to one side.
"Where?" The man turned around while hiding the paper even more carefully.
Bang
He was knocked onto the desk by Lily’s fist.
"Ouch.. Why did you use your head to knock my fist?" She shook her head.
Tyler just watched everything like an outsider. ’I don’t know her. I am just passing by.’
"Oh look, I found a task sheet." She grabbed the sheet from the man’s hand. He held it firmly while pretending to be asleep.
"Does this sleeping man want to knock his wrist on my knife?" She asked Tyler. The man imdiately loosened his grip and let the paper be taken.
She glanced at it a little.
"Great! It’s a murder." She shouted enthusiastically, then thought it wasn’t appropriate and said, "*cough* oh no, it’s a murder. White, let’s go and investigate."
"No, wait. The person who posted this specifically requested not to show it to you," he said.
"Since when did Law Enforcent beco a place that listens to other people yapping? I am going to enforce the law and bring justice. If soone requests the sa thing again, just tell them I will prioritise that first," she said while leaving.
"Yeah, you are righ- Hey, wait. I think you are missing the point," he shouted.
"And you are missing a purpose... in your life." He only got that reply back from Lily.
┉┈ ◈ ◉ ◈ ┈┉
Tyler followed Lily out of the office, trying to keep up with her brisk pace. "So, what’s the case about?" he asked.
Lily handed him the task sheet. "It says a body was found in the servant quarters. No witnesses, no suspects yet. This will be a good first case for you. Just follow and observe my brilliance."
They made their way to that place. There are lots of servant disciples on the floating island. There are lots of servant quarters too.
They saw so disciples already standing at the entrance.
Lily imdiately took charge. "Alright, everyone, step back and give us so space. We’re here to investigate."
"Another investigation officer?"
" I thought we already have one"
"There is always competition in almost everything." The crowd murmured, they made their way when they saw Lily’s token.
"Oh no, it’s Detective Lily Gos." One of the people said which made others panic.
"Sup guys, where is the body?" Lily Gos asked.
"Huh... You are standing on it." Another one pointed it out
"Eww.. that’s why the floor felt crunchy " Lily Gos took a step back.
Tyler just turned around and wanted to run away. But Lily’s small hand grabbed his shoulder and dragged him back.
"Let’s do it." she gave a thumbs up in an encouraging tone.
She crouched down and looked at the body. It’s the body of a middle aged man.
"There are so heavy foot prints on his body. Soone stomped on him?" Lily tilted her head.
Tyler covered his face in embarrassnt and said, "That’s your footprints."
"Hehe... I was just testing you." She laughed it off.
She checked the body for any signs of struggle or identifiable marks and scanned the surrounding for clues. She even sniffed at the corpse. Even though she is dumb, he was still impressed by her thoroughness.
"Did you guys find any trace of Aura?" She asked the patrol guards who already checked everything.
"Nope. Either the killer is good at dissipating or he is yet to beco a Novice warrior." Even though Lily is problematic, the guard answered her question.
"Probably a normal person. There is a weird sll coming from his mouth. The person is poisoned. The killer might have done it for personal vengeance. Since the poison could have killed the victim, he might have watched him suffer while sitting here." Lily said that she didn’t even turn into a detective personality. Tyler understood how Lily was still keeping her job.
Tyler understood why Lily reached that conclusion. She stood near the bed. And took a small cloth that is attached at the edge.
"But the room was closed from the inside. Even the windows too." One of the investigators said. He doesn’t like the fact that Lily found a clue just after entering.
Lily thought for a second and went inside. Tyler was fully impressed by her capabilities.
"Guys, You better co see this. There is another body." They heard her voice.
The patrol guards walked in with surprise.
Patrol Guard : "Nope... That’s the victim’s grandma. "
Lily : Oh.. ohhh (・o・)
Tyler : ...
