Summary
Being bossed around by someone younger than him by centuries was the worst. Especially when Lovino developed a running tally to see how long it'll be until said "employer" collapses and can't sign his stupid paycheck, making the whole reason he came to this shit hole nonexistent. And on top of it all, he makes him do actual work. Ugh.
At least there's someone to keep him company.
And he's cute ~Who said thatSeries
