Sayuri found that her attempt to fool people didn't work and she made a "puff" sound in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, it's getting late. I have to go to school now. I made an extra breakfast for you and put it on the bar. You can leave after breakfast. The bathroom is the innermost room on the left side of the corridor. There are disposable toiletries there. Of course, if you want to sleep in a while, you can. There is a microwave in the store to heat up food. If you need anything else, you can go directly to Jeanne. She lives in the store." Kyosuke paused after he finished talking about his arrangements, and then said to Sayuri in a slightly melancholy tone, "I don't know if it's appropriate for me to say this... But listen, no matter what troubles you have, don't do this kind of thing of drowning your sorrows in alcohol. Fortunately, this time it's in my store. Just think of it as Eriri. You need to be more stable."
"I see. I was wrong. That was recommended by Mo-chan. She said that cocktail was the specialty of her shop. I thought that since you, Kyousuke, came from Mo-chan's shop, you should be able to mix this kind of drink. I didn't expect it to be so strong."
Sayuri clasped her hands together and blinked at Kyosuke and begged, "Please don't tell Eriri about this. She will laugh at me."
"I think she would be very worried about you."
After Kyosuke finished speaking, he left the room without saying yes or no. However, Sayuri, who was familiar with Kyosuke's character, breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Kyosuke agreed to keep it a secret for her.
"Thank you, Kyousuke. You are really reliable. No wonder my Eriri likes you so much."
"I took that as a compliment."
Kyosuke was about to close the door of the room when he heard Sayuri's praise. He looked back at Sayuri who was sitting on the bed, then closed the door with a smile.
After the door was completely closed, Kyosuke turned around and saw Jeanne standing at the door, ready to rush into the room at any time. Kyosuke was shocked by his subordinate's behavior. He patted his chest and asked in shock: "What...what are you doing? You are so scary."
"Nothing, I'm just taking precautions."
After seeing Kyosuke come out, Jeanne sighed with some regret and answered Kyosuke's question reluctantly.
What are you regretting?
Kyosuke felt that there was really no normal person around him, but it seemed that heroic spirits were not considered normal people?
Just as Kyosuke was secretly thinking about how big the generation gap was between Heroic Spirits and normal people, Jeanne stepped forward and took the initiative to straighten Kyosuke's school uniform shirt and tie.
"Ah...thank you."
"Nothing, just think of it as a reward from the store manager for not doing anything out of line with the customer on the other side. Just now I was wondering whether I should stop you before you do something completely irreversible, or knock you out when you are halfway through it."
Jeanne said something very scary with a lighthearted look on her face.
"What am I in your eyes? She is my elder."
"A scumbag who got his classmate's mother pregnant has no right to say such things."
"For the sake of the salary I pay you, can you please not look down on your boss so much?"
Kyousuke pressed his thumbs on his temples to ease his headache. He was too lazy to argue with anyone else about what happened between him and Fumino.
"stare--"
Jeanne didn't say anything, but just stared silently at Kyosuke's face with her eyes.
"I...I'm going to school. Please help take care of her."
In the end, under the pressure of Jeanne's gaze, Kyosuke hurriedly ended the conversation and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Manager, can you come to the store at night?"
"what happened?"
"I've got a couple of waiters on the job. I'd like you to watch the interview for yourself. If you're okay with them, I'd like to have them start today."
Jeanne pulled out a few resumes from behind her and waved them towards Kyosuke who had already reached the end of the corridor.
"talk later."
Kyosuke didn't even bother to look back at the resume, just dealt with it casually and planned to leave. In fact, Kyosuke had completely given up on the clerk job, especially after the new store opened and the business was much less than he expected, he had no plan to recruit any more clerks.
It's not that he can't pay because of poor performance. In fact, a certain wealthy Middle Eastern dog owner doesn't need this little money. It's just that Kyousuke thinks that in addition to himself, Jeanne and three part-time waiters including Saki, the staff is enough. Although Jill is not short of money, there is no need to recruit a few employees who can earn money without doing any work.
“That’s because you have no idea how much work the rest of us do.”
Kyosuke had already walked into the elevator and pressed the elevator button. But just before the elevator door closed, Jeanne grabbed the elevator door and squeezed in. She slapped her resume into Kyosuke's arms with a dissatisfied tone.
"What's wrong?"
Kyosuke didn't look at the resume in his hand first. He felt Jeanne's resentment.
"What do you think? I don't think you've ever taken good care of your employees."
Jeanne glared at Kyousuke unhappily.
"I work with you guys every night."
"And just sit there and slack off? I think you should pay more attention to your employees, manager."
"For example, you?"
"I mean Shashi, have you really not noticed how much work she has to do?"
From Jeanne's expression, Kyosuke could sense that she felt she was completely hopeless.
Kyosuke thought about it for a while. In his memory, Saki always had something to do at night, but because Saki never showed any panic or lack of time, instead she did her work in an orderly manner, so Kyosuke always thought that her workload was not that heavy. In addition, Saki's presence was indeed too low, so Kyosuke completely ignored her existence.
"That kid has been working so hard. She's done a lot more work than both of us have done."
"Okay, okay. Let's put it this way. I'll find someone to help. As for recruiting new people, forget it. Training them from scratch won't only cause a lot of trouble. "
Kyousuke decided to observe Saki's work situation tonight. If there really wasn't enough staff like Jeanne said, he planned to borrow some from Camelot. Because most of the customers in his bar were Heroic Spirits, it would be too troublesome to start with a completely unknown stranger. It would be even worse if the other party was a big mouth.
As for Saki... Kyosuke hired her out of consideration for his classmate, but it must be said that Saki did a good job and was very tight-lipped. She ignored all the weird things that happened in the bar. Kyosuke was very satisfied with his classmate and subordinate. He even thought that if Saki really worked as hard as Jeanne said, he should give her a raise.
"That's not impossible, but I want you to take a look at the resume at the top."
Kyosuke took out the resume that Jeanne requested, and he found that the photo on the resume looked surprisingly familiar.
"Um...are you sure she's not kidding?"
"I know what you mean, Manager. This girl is also known among the Heroic Spirits as a shut-in, so I felt that there was something wrong when I interviewed her."
"What does this young lady want to do? Don't tell me you're here to experience life."
Kyousuke looked at the resume in his hand with suspicion. He doubted the authenticity of the other party's application. He saw the three words "Keibu Hime" written in the name column on the resume.
Chapter 3 Mordred: Testing the Edge of Death [Subscription Request]
The reason why this woman, Keibu Hime, became famous is very strange. It is not because she is beautiful, although she is indeed very beautiful. However, as a heroic spirit worshipped by people, as long as she is not ugly in history, she can be considered a beauty. Among the heroic spirits, Keibu Hime's appearance is at most above average.
Of course, it's not because Xingbu Ji is a rich guy, there are many heroes who are richer than her, such as a rich man in the Middle East, a great chieftain of Uruk, or a rich man who was eaten alive by Enkidu.
From this perspective, the reason why Princess Xingbu, a woman whose appearance, figure, wealth and even power are not outstanding among many heroes, is well-known is because she is a homebody.
Yes, Xingbuji is this famous homebody. And her homebody can be said to be far beyond the limit of ordinary people. If you unplug the network cable of ordinary homebodies and cut off their financial resources, these people will be forced to go out. But Xingbuji is completely different. The term "staying at home for a thousand years" is not enough to describe her. Every time this guy comes to the human world, except for a few times when she goes out to buy books, she stays in her castle. Relying on the fact that she is a heroic spirit and will not starve to death, Xingbuji even eats only a few times, squatting in the room all day long and not knowing what to do. It can be said that Xingbuji should be the only Neet in the world who can survive on clean water.
Regarding the behavior of this homebody, many heroes felt that her problem was no longer something that could be explained by the word "sick". Why did you come down to the world when you didn't even leave? You might as well just stay at home and die on your seat!
Especially since modern times, after lazy humans invented two good things, the Internet and express delivery, it can be said that Princess Geibu is in a state of never leaving her house.
Before the betting about Kyosuke appeared among the Heroic Spirits, the betting about Princess Keibu always topped the list.
So the Heroic Spirit is really just a creature that is bored to death. ——by a white-haired online scammer
Regarding the situation of Keibu-hime, the Heroic Spirits all agreed that this was a disease that needed to be cured. So many people thought of various ways to help Keibu-hime get out of her castle. For example, they used food to seduce her, or dragged her to the holy war. It can be said that in order to ensure their gambling funds, these people tried all the methods they could think of.
The most exciting thing was [Magnetic Storm Trooper] Yang... No, it was [Electrical Science Professor] Tesla. He ran to Xingbuji's castle with his electric shock equipment and said to her in a very sincere tone: "Today, either I electrocute you to death or you walk out of this castle."
Miss Ji from the Ministry of Justice was deeply moved after hearing these words, and without saying a word, she threw the founder of electroshock science and his equipment out from the top floor of the castle.
Given all the rumors Kyosuke had heard about the thousand-year-old house of Keibu-hime, he was quite wary of Keibu-hime coming to work for him. He didn't think that this young lady was so idle that she came out to experience life on her own. Staying in the castle until the land of steel was the style of this Neet-hime.
Kyosuke thought that the reason this girl came to his store was simply because he had something she wanted extremely much, and the most valuable things in his bar were only two - the special materials provided by Jill and Kyosuke himself.
In order to improve the reputation of Kyosuke's bar, Jill donated a batch of special materials and placed them in a special material storage cabinet, including dragon blood, sap of the world tree, wine of the gods and many other things that only exist in legends and myths.
In Jill's words, "These are all very useful ingredients for making cocktails," and Kyosuke, as the bar manager, has the authority to use these ingredients at will. However, Kyosuke, who knows very well how precious these things are, only used them once when the shop opened for business, and the special cabinet that kept the ingredients has never been opened again.
You have to know that the things inside are no longer available in modern society. In addition to Jill who has a large amount of storage, only a few other heroes have kept one or two items. Some of the things are even unique to Jill. More importantly, these things are very tempting to heroes, so since Kyosuke opened the business, many heroes came to drink for the purpose of these things. These people tried their best to hope that Kyosuke could sell them some of Jill's collection, but these requests were rejected by Kyosuke with righteous words.
In Kyosuke's opinion, these things are the treasures of the store. How can he just give them away right after the opening?
As for Kyosuke's other guess about Keibu-hime, it was because of his conditioned reflex. Now whenever Kyosuke saw a female heroic spirit, his first reaction was that the other party was coming for his body.
To be honest, Kyosuke found that his moral integrity had dropped rapidly since he and his nanny had a "deep and simple" group warming in bed last time. If it were in the past, Kyosuke would definitely defend his chastity to the death, but now? As long as the purpose is not to squeeze himself dry, Kyosuke said that if it is just for a one-shot, it doesn't matter at all.
So moral integrity is like ice, it will break when it falls to the ground, and even if you try your best to pick it up, it will never return to its original state. And even if you preserve it well, as long as you keep it in your hands, sooner or later it will disappear.
Of course, Kyosuke thinks that it is very likely that these two are the targets of the Princess of the Ministry of Justice. This is not uncommon. Maeve once proposed to use her body as a reward in exchange for the things in the cabinet. Kyosuke's answer to this is that I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shamelessness. Sister, this is not the way to play when you have got something, right? You are asking me to spend money and donate sperm at the same time.
If this is what Keibu-ji is aiming for, Kyousuke won't mind it too much. If his employees perform well, there's nothing wrong with giving them the treasures as salary or bonuses. Even if the other party wants to have sex with him, Kyousuke won't refuse.
Kyosuke is now more worried that the other party will become sticky to him like a dog-skin plaster, which will make him very uncomfortable. Putting aside other things, the relationship between men and women here is already chaotic enough, and he really can't handle adding a young lady to mess things up.
"I always feel like there's a conspiracy coming towards me..."
Kyousuke sighed as he looked at the resume of Keibu-hime on his way to school. He was almost at the school gate at this moment. He had been reading the resume over and over again since he left the bar. He had read the contents of the resume by heart, but Kyousuke was still a little worried. He had a rather awkward feeling in his heart. However, Kyousuke knew that it was useless to worry now. He could only deal with it after meeting Keibu-hime in person in the evening.
"Kyosuke, what are you doing there sighing so early in the morning?"
Suddenly someone patted Kyosuke's shoulder from behind, interrupting his thoughts. Kyosuke turned around and saw that it was Mordred.
"Hey! Good morning, Kyousuke."
Mordred gave Kyosuke a strange military salute.
"I'm sorry, it's not nice to see you."
Kyosuke has not forgotten the culprit who made Sayuri stay in the bar last night.
"I say, Mordred, what on earth are you thinking about? You actually introduced that kind of wine to Sayuri. Do you know what happened to Sayuri after she drank that kind of wine at my place?"
Facing Kyosuke's questioning, Mordred was completely unaware of his mistake. Instead, he complained to Kyosuke unwillingly, "Huh? Sayuri actually went to your place yesterday! I thought if she wanted to go to the bar, she would definitely come to Camelot. Tsk, I didn't expect to miss such a good opportunity."
Kyosuke didn't realize what Mordred meant at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with what this naughty boy said. He frowned and asked Mordred, "Wait a minute, why did you let Sayuri drink that kind of wine?"
"Of course I got her drunk and threw her into my father's room... Wait, was my father at your place yesterday? Damn it, I should have called you earlier. That way, I could have made it a done deal between the two of them at your place."
Mordred squatted on the ground holding her head, looking extremely painful. She regretted missing such a good opportunity yesterday.
"You kid..." Kyosuke put his hand on Mordred's head with a kind face, then changed the subject and grabbed the top of the head of this naughty kid and tried to lift her up, "Can't you just let me be more careful?!"
"It hurts! I'm dying! I'm dying! Let go!"
Mordred danced and wailed loudly.
"No way! You damn Mo Erha, I might as well kill you!"
Kyosuke didn't bother to care about this guy's wailing, he just wanted to vent his anger.
"I saw you, a scumbag, hitting a girl at the school gate early in the morning. You really are hopeless."
