864 Boss Mag, I“ve Got the One You“re Looking For!

“Heh, 1,500 copper coins? Our shop is hiring a front desk attendant, and we’re offering 5,000 copper coins a month. Workdays are from nine to five with weekends off, and the work is very easy. All you have to do is sit behind the front desk, and food and accommodation are also included.”

“Being a restaurant waitress is a super tiring job. Not only do you have to carry out food for customers, you have to wash dishes, wipe the floor, and clean up the restaurant, You’ll be standing for the entire day, and you won’t even get a chance to catch your breath. Why don’t you come to our company as a spokesperson? All you have to do is help display our new products once a week, and you’ll get 6,000 copper coins per month. You can do whatever you want with the rest of your time.”

“Our boss needs a secretary, and he’s offering 15,000 copper coins a month. You eat whatever he eats, and you live wherever he lives. This job is way better than anything else these people have to offer!”

Everyone began to bicker once again while throwing the occasional insult at Crease. It was downright delusional to think that one could hire a young and beautiful elf for just 1,500 copper coins a month.

Crease heaved a faint internal sigh upon seeing this. The conditions being offered were quite alluring even to him, and in comparison, working for 1,500 copper coins per month was a completely unattractive option. Thankfully, he’d already taken that deposit of 300 copper coins from Mag, and he certainly wasn’t going to return that.

However, much to his surprise, Firis ignored everyone else and stared directly at Crease as she asked, “Did you just say that I’ll have to look after the owner’s four-year-old half-elf daughter from time to time?”

At this point, Crease had already given up hope, but he immediately looked up as if he’d been thrown a lifeline upon hearing this. “Well... If you’re really against babysitting, I can discuss this matter with Boss Mag...”

“This restaurant owner is a tyrant! Not only is he offering such low wages, he’s also going to force you to babysit for him in your spare time. You’ll definitely regret working for someone like him!” a fat employer urged in a heartfelt manner.

Everyone else also chimed in in agreement. With the conditions being offered, even a normal middle-aged woman would most likely turn down the job, let alone a young and beautiful elf.

However, Firis nodded in a determined manner, and said, “Alright, I’ll take this job.”

“Huh? What did you just say?” Crease was struggling to believe his ears.

Everyone else also immediately fell silent as they stared at Firis with incredulity in their eyes.

“I think you’re right; this job is indeed perfect for me,” Firis said with a serious look on her face.

Do you want to reconsider? Crease almost blurted that out in a reflexive response. All of the other jobs being offered were far better than working as a restaurant waitress for 1,500 copper coins a month.

However, as a seasoned businessman, Crease was able to immediately cast aside that irrational train of thought as he opened up a path among the stunned employers, then pointed at a nearby stall, and said, “Right this way, please. We’ll sign a contract, and I’ll take you to the restaurant soon.”

“Alright.” Firis nodded before following along behind Crease obediently.

“Was... Was she dropped on her head as a baby? She’s giving up on 15,000 copper coins a month to become a restaurant server and a part-time babysitter?”

“That job should be her last choice! Are these elves really just naive or plain stupid?”

All of the employers looked on with flabbergasted expressions as Firis departed with Crease. They suddenly felt as if they didn’t understand this world anymore. However, the city lord’s castle had stipulated that the elven job-seekers were free to make their own decisions, and no one could force them into accepting jobs against their will, so they couldn’t do anything.

“You don’t know anything! This is Mamy Restaurant we’re talking about here, and their servers get to have their fill of all types of delicious food every day. If we were to convert these free meals into money, she’d at least be getting 30,000 copper coins a month! In my opinion, she’s far smarter than all of you!” a young man said with pursed lips as he passed through the area.

“30,000 copper coins’ worth of free meals a month?” Everyone drew a sharp breath upon hearing this before falling completely silent. They all cast a final wistful glance at Firis before returning to their tables, waiting for the next suitable candidate to turn up.

After signing a contract with Firis, Crease was very afraid that she’d suddenly change her mind, or that other employers would swoop in to try and steal her away. As such, he immediately departed from the city lord’s castle and headed toward Mamy Restaurant with her.

“Can I ask what the restaurant owner’s daughter is like?” Firis asked in a quiet voice after they got onto a horse-drawn carriage together.

Crease thought back to the little girl who had coined for him the nickname “Mr. Nest”, and his lips twitched in a rather awkward manner. However, he disguised this reaction with a smile as he replied, “She’s... a super adorable little girl.”

Firis smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

She didn’t think that she’d be able to find a job where she could look after a half-elf little girl. The monthly wage seemed to be slightly low, but food and accommodation were included, so that wasn’t overly important to her. The most important thing to her was whether this job would allow her to pass Alex’s test.

It should be fine, right? Firis thought to herself with anticipation and uneasiness in her heart. She had never looked after a small child before, so she had no experience whatsoever.

When Crease arrived at Mamy Restaurant with Firis in accompaniment, Mag just so happened to also be walking out of the neighboring forge with a contract in his hands. He’d already rented all three of Mobai’s vacant storefronts, and was charged only 3,000,000 copper coins for 10 years, so he’d received a sizeable friendship discount.

“Boss Mag, I’ve got the one you’re looking for!” Crease immediately yelled as soon as he caught sight of Mag after disembarking from the horse-drawn carriage.

“You’re quite efficient this time, Boss Crease.” Mag glanced at Firis, who had just emerged from the horse-drawn carriage as well, and a smile appeared on his face, but he quickly turned his attention back to Crease.

Is he the restaurant owner? From what I heard earlier, he also seems to be a really good chef, but he looks so young, and those eyes... They seem familiar to me somehow... Firis was carefully appraising Mag with a curious look in her eyes. A young and handsome man like him didn’t seem to belong in a kitchen, and what especially drew her attention was his eyes. Those familiar eyes harbored within them a gentle light, but he was sure that this was the first time she’d ever met this man.

“Of course! Your request is my top priority, Boss Mag. This is Miss Firis, and she would like to apply for the role of waitress at your restaurant. Would you like to speak with her?” Crease gave Mag a quick knowing wink as he spoke.

“Alright, please come in.” Mag nodded with a smile before making his way over to the restaurant doors and pushing them open.

“Come in, Miss Firis,” Crease called out as he entered the restaurant behind Mag.

“Alright.” Firis nodded in response. The slab of floor-to-ceiling glass had her feeling slightly awestruck, and the crisp tinkling of a bell rang out as she opened the door. She was then greeted by the sight of a beautiful restaurant with refined decor and a soothing atmosphere. The wooden furniture was quite warm and welcoming, art pieces on the walls were spectacular to behold, and every single ornament matched the rest of the restaurant to perfection.

“Please take a seat.”

Mag’s voice cut short Firis’ slight stupor, and she turned around to look into Mag’s eyes. He was holding two glasses of water, and those gentle eyes of his seemed to possess a unique allure that drew in the onlooker.
