“Well, you’ve remembered everything accurately, and in a short while.” Mag nodded with a smile, surprised but satisfied. He had found himself a good waitress.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAmy clapped her hands. “You’re amazing, Sister Miya!” she exclaimed, looking at her with admiring eyes.
Yabemiya waved her hands immediately. “No… I mean, thank you.” Her face reddened with joy.
She had a good memory, but her co-workers had considered this ability of hers useless. She had never tasted the feeling of being praised, so Amy’s admiration and Mag’s approval helped build up her confidence.
“Yes!” Yabemiya stood up straight. Her breasts were surprisingly big for a small girl. Then she realized what she had done, and relaxed her body. She blushed and nodded. “I’m skinny, but I’m strong. I could lift a side of pork when I was working in the kitchen. I worked from early morning to late at night. I’m even stronger than men.”
Yabemiya walked up to the table, grabbed one end of it with two hands, and lifted it whole clearly off the ground with ease, about 20 centimeters high. “Like this?”
“Wow! Sister Miya, you have incredible strength,” Amy said as Yabemiya put the table down.
Yabemiya gave an abashed smile. She had been called “Strong Gal” by her coworkers, and she didn’t like that nickname. She was happy that Amy liked her strength.
Mag looked at Yabemiya contentedly. She had a good memory and a strong body—she was almost perfect for him. But she was a little stiff. Mag smiled, and said, “I want our customers to feel comfortable eating here. Our business philosophy is: kindness, distance, equality. You don’t have to bow and scrape to them, but a smile will make them feel at home while we keep our distance. And we should treat every customer equally and show them the respect they deserve. Now, can you give me an earnest smile?”
Equality, what an unfamiliar word! She had been living in inequality from birth. The restaurant she had worked in catered to elves first, then demons and trolls, and then humans. Hybrids were not even allowed to eat there, no equality left to speak of.
Her smile was like a small white flower blooming in dry soil in winter, not very charming, but extra innocent, seeming to have the ability to purify souls.
“If you like, you can come work tomorrow,” Mag said earnestly, looking at Yabemiya.
“Really?” Yabemiya was taken by surprise. She couldn’t believe her ears.
Mag nodded. “Yes. As to your salary, the first month is a probation month, and I’ll give you 4,500 copper coins. Your lunch is free, but breakfast and dinner are not. And we don’t provide accommodation here. I know you’re short on money right now. I will give you a half month’s salary in advance so you have money to rent a house and eat.” Then he looked at her greasy, patched clothes and thought for a moment before he added, “And I’ll give you two sets of working clothes.”
“System, show me the womenswear catalogue. I need to buy working clothes for my new employee,” Mag said in his mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m a respectable system. I don’t provide womenswear,” the system said seriously.
“I want two sets of clothes and two matching shoes. I’ll pay cash,” Mag said.
The system paused a moment before it asked tentatively, “Well, are you going to buy that window shade at a little higher price?”
“Normally you’ll get a discount when you buy more, no? What about 5 gold coins?” Mag asked.
A line of words appeared in Mag’s head. “The transaction is done. Six gold coins has been deducted. Manufacturing the window shade. It will be ready in 10 minutes. Spend 10 gold coins or more on anything else, and the window shade will be installed for free.”
This way, the system would save him the trouble of installing the window shade himself.
The system had clearly grown more enthusiastic after the transaction went through. “What kind of womenswear do you need? I have suits, office lady suits, dresses, slip dresses, sheath dresses… sailor uniforms, maid dresses, school swimsuits…”
“Wait! What?! You’re selling sailor uniforms and school swimsuits?! Have a little decency!” Mag twisted his mouth. Then, he said, “I’d like two maid dresses.”
