The Villain Boss Hired Me

“I traded my life for a single piece of bread, but these villains find me way too cute!”“Hey, you hungry?”A soft, white loaf of bread appeared before me after I’d starved for three whole days.After I devoured the loaf—which was as big as my forearm—on the spot, the villain gave a wicked smirk.“Now that you’ve eaten, shall we talk?”My life was now collateral for a single piece of bread.The man who gave me the bread was a villain—specifically, the big boss who ran the whole guild.Somehow, he knew about my [Clairvoyance] and came to offer a strange deal.“I give you food, you do some work. It’s a fair trade, right?”“Can I sleep somewhere warm? I won’t go if you’re going to hit me.”“Of course. Why would I hit something the size of a mouse? I’ll even give you gold coins.”“Deal! By the way, are you going to eat that bread in your pocket? Give it to me.”He was a bad guy either way, but since he wouldn’t starve me or force me to beg like the orphanage director did, I figured this was better.So, I took his hand.“Newbie. Can I just touch your cheek once?”“It’s one Brin (100 won) per touch.”“Gasp! That’s way too cheap! I’ll give you my whole salary!”“……I was joking.”I thought I just had to do my job, but the guild members’ affection seems… strangely excessive.I failed a mission for the first time. The Boss saved me just as I was about to get seriously hurt.“Boss, I haven’t succeeded yet.”I said this while dangling from his side.“Does that matter? Are you hurt or not?”“……I’m not hurt.”“Then that’s enough. Let’s go eat. I’m hungry.”They said he was cold-blooded.The villain boss has gone soft.
