I! Cleaner!
Chapter 141 - 141: 0122 Good Senior_1

Leon shook his head at the short man's surprised inquiry. An anomalous object capable of communicating with animals certainly did not exist, but he had just acquired a badge.

[You have obtained your first pet, successfully activating the Black Iron Level Badge "Poop Scooper."]

[Poop Scooper, Because of keeping a pet in the city, a caregiver must regularly clean up pet waste.]

[Equipped Effect, Your rapport with your pet has improved, allowing you to understand each other better.]

[Advancement Route, If you continue to care for your pet for over a month and keep it healthy, this badge will automatically advance to the bronze badge "Pet Owner."]

[Hidden Trait (No need to equip), Your affinity with animals has slightly increased.]

Looking at the gleaming "Poop Scooper" on the panel, Leon was more determined than ever to earn more badges.

Of the thirteen badges he currently possessed, most did not have direct combat enhancements, but they all provided excellent support effects.

Even without high-level badges like "I Am the Demon" or "Practitioner" that directly enhanced anomalies, even a seemingly trivial Black Iron Level Badge like the "Poop Scooper" could be used quite effectively when paired with the right anomalous object.

*Hmm... But using bombs for now was out of the question—too dangerous!*

Glancing sideways at the dressing mirror, Leon was startled to see Young Ha baring its milk teeth, gnawing on a whale oil bomb. He quickly made it give the bomb back.

*It sure had husky lineage, already trying to tear things apart at such a young age.* Flinging bombs at opponents right under their noses through Mirror Dog was powerful, but this little husky was too small. If it threw things in the wrong place, it would be disastrous.

Technical skills like precision bombing should wait until it grew older or the "Poop Scooper" badge advanced, giving Leon more control over its behavior.

...

"You've just met, but you already understand each other a bit. Looks like you two really hit it off."

Unaware of the recent scare, the short man weighed the returned whale oil bomb in his hand. Looking at the sleepy Young Ha in Leon's arms, he chuckled and handed the bomb to Leon.

"Although you probably can't use eyes or water surfaces for transferring objects, mostly just mirrors, since you can communicate with the little guy, this thing is not entirely useless. At a critical moment, it could at least act as a trump card.

"Take it. Come find me when you run out. Just keep it in the Mirror World normally, and don't bring it out. Activate it ahead of time before using, and it'll explode five seconds later!"

"Thank you, Senior!"

Leon was pleased to hear the short man's words. He took out a small mirror gifted by the other man, aiming it at the whale oil bomb. He then gently tapped Young Ha's behind.

"Woof~"

Accompanied by a lazy dog yawn, Young Ha yawned itself into the small mirror, helping Leon store the whale oil bomb. It didn't come back out, instead lying down directly inside, and soon, soft snoring could be heard.

"This little guy must be tired."

Peeking into the mirror at the little pup sprawled out asleep with its paws over its head, the short man smiled and rhythmically tapped the small mirror in Leon's hand.

"Woof."

Lady Lisa's crisp bark sounded. Leon looked down to see the large golden retriever also enter the small mirror. After casting a complex glance at Young Ha, it settled down, barking twice more at Leon.

"Lisa says this little fellow is a bit naughty, so please be patient with it... Also..."

After translating Lady Lisa's "dog talk," the short man pointed to the two dogs in the small mirror and said to Leon,

"If the director sends you to Rose Manor for a rescue mission, let Lisa show you the way. She's well-acquainted with my 'friends.'

"She'll stay in your mirror for the next couple of days. Just tap the mirror when you need directions. Oh, and take this too."

The short man spoke "Woof," twice towards the mirror. After listening, Lady Lisa nodded, walked out of the visible area in the small mirror to search, and soon returned with a small, palm-sized bed, placing it in Leon's small mirror.

"The director mentioned you have a great affinity with demonic abnormalities, so take this too!"

Looking hesitantly at the high-value [Monster Under the Bed], rated at 8.7 on the Leon Value scale, the short man patted his chest and generously told Leon,

"Since you called me senior, I must act the part. Plus, given the number of anomalous objects I have, this one is nothing. Just take it!"

"Then I won't be polite..."

This generous senior first gave a dog, then a bomb, and even a bed board. Leon couldn't help but feel a warm fuzziness in his heart.

*The director, although mischievous and a prank-loving drunk, always looked out for him, standing up when it mattered.*

*Senior Emma too. Although very cautious to the point of being annoying, she taught him valuable lessons, solving His problems.*

*Now there was Senior Jerry, who was exceptionally generous. Although partly due to the "Connected Party" badge, he'd met him and given him so much already...* *There were so many good people in the department!*

Grateful, Leon glanced at the short man, unsure of how to repay him at the moment, and instead promised,

"Senior, although I'm not very good at combat, I am fairly confident in investigation, interrogation, and gathering intelligence on anomalous objects. If you ever need help in this area, you can count on me to help!"

*Got it! That's the promise I've been waiting for!*

Looking at the grateful newcomer, the "good senior" outwardly waved it off multiple times but couldn't help chuckling inwardly.

This time he was so generous not only because he liked the kid but also to seek future assistance. The ability to appraise anomalous objects was rare, and when he found more good stuff, he'd definitely seek him out again.

*So rather than seeking help at the moment it was needed, being generous now was wiser... Hmm... Moreover, it shut this guy up, as many of his possessions were "borrowed" from other branches.*

He originally thought the kid's ability to discern anomalous objects and their costs was impressive, but it turned out he could even determine where items were "borrowed" from. *Thus, the original compensation was insufficient, and the extra benefits would serve as hush money.*
