Loser System and Berserker Me Chapter 9: Scraping It Clean

【My host, didn’t I tell you to win over the Ink Sea Chief Inspector? What in the world did you do?】

System 12345 grumbled in disappointment.

【Why is he chasing you around the city? What are you going to do now that you have thoroughly offended father-in-law?】
