Lesson 18: The Bites of the King of Champions

A few minutes walking, I arrived in front of a florist. Yeah, definitely here.

Looks like it's still before the store opens and the shutters are down at the entrance. In the meantime, I went around to the back door, and there was a door, so I knocked about twice.

"I'm the king who came for a part-time interview. I want you to open this place."

While I think it's an attitude that I don't think I'm going to be interviewed, I've decided to prioritize my gesture as king here.

Then I waited about thirty seconds, but didn't get any reply. Funny, the interview's supposed to be the right time. I tried my hand on the door knob and it wasn't locked, so I opened the door quietly.

It's dim inside, with lots of flowers placed, but no sign of people. Then I realized there was a piece of paper on the floor, and I picked it up. Here's what it said.

'I'll leave the store open for a while. Just give me a break for my life. Store Owner'

The store owner ran away!!

I'm sure he escaped feeling in danger when he found out that the king was coming to this store. Totally troublesome, even though I'm just here for an interview. Well, I know how you feel about running away.

Then I looked around at the room in the store, but there was still no one there. Have the other employees not come to the store for fear of me, or did the owner run this florist by himself from the beginning?

Either way, I wonder if anyone would still open a florist. From what I've seen the map, it was like this is the only florist in this village, and definitely someone in need should come out.

"Hmmm......"

I looked up after a little thought. [M] All right, I've made up my mind, I'll act as a florist on behalf of the owner. I wouldn't even be eligible to work in this store if I wasn't supposed to have an interview, but I don't feel like being complained about because they left the interview on their own. I went all the way out here, and because of that, let's work it out and go home.

I turned up the shutter and opened the store. I discovered something in the dressing room that looked like this store's uniform, but there was no such thing as a uniform that would fit this king's figure, so I decided to come in the same outfit. I'm a little nervous about being able to turn the store around by myself, but the florist has a very important image of visitors coming in and out, and it's probably going to be okay.

No, I used to work part-time in convenience stores in my human days... I miss you. Well, I quit after less than a month without the manager's personality.

But the problem is that I don't have any knowledge of flowers. So what if a customer asks you something about flowers? But this anxiety soon became a concern.

Then the store door opened and one customer came in. She is a young woman in her twenties. All right, let's respond with a smile to the six main terms of customer service taught in convenience store part-time.

"Welcome -"

"Hiya!! Sorry Shishishi -!!"

The woman turned her face bright blue, as if she had encountered a monster, and fled at the speed of light.

Isn't that a little terrible? Although I do have the consciousness of being a monster, there would be no rule that monsters should not work part-time. Whoever sells flowers is no stranger to the fact that flowers are flowers.

"You guys think so, don't you?

I ask the flowers in front of me. Naturally, however, no reply was received.

Then an hour goes by. In the meantime, a few guests visited, but when they all saw me, they ran away. I'm getting sad.

I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm sure that was originally meant to improve my image, wasn't it?

"... let's not"

I was kind of vain, so I decided to cut up my part-time job on the way up. Probably no one would buy me flowers even if I was here twenty-four hours. This is the same as closing. I sighed down the store shutter. [M]

But it's no different than what I did, so let's just get paid and go home. When I took the hourly bronze coin out of the counter drawer and put it in my pocket, I followed the florist with [instant travel].

Next, I came to the village where the store was located in order to get an interview with the grocery store.

No, you keep going! And I may want to put in a scratch, but when I get back to the castle like this, Lina's struggle to find me a part-time job is going to be a blister, and I said, "I'm sure I'll accomplish it." Well, the florist's part-time is a delicate line of whether or not I can say I've accomplished it.

But I want to avoid what would be the first two dances. I wonder if there's any good way I can put my arms together and roar my throat.

"Ah."

I spoke unexpectedly. [M] Yes, you can use the [Transformation] of the spell to transform yourself into a human. That way you won't be afraid of anyone. I wonder why I didn't realize it was so easy.

"Spell [Transformation]!

Think of me from the human age in your head and activate [Transformation]. I changed from king to man. [M] I can't see myself because I don't have a mirror, but I should have succeeded properly. Then I entered the village nervously. [M]

Whoa, no one looks at me and runs away! Besides, some of them even give me a light meeting! I'm so impressed! My eyesight got hot by accident. [M]

However, as I have explained before, [Transformation] has the disadvantage of being forcibly lifted when other spells are used, so it is practically impossible to use a spell during this appearance. Well, there's no such thing as a situation where you have to use a spell.

"Hmm...?

After walking for a while, I saw about ten men with a faulty appearance, sitting on the side of the road and garrisoning. Oh, those guys are from every world.

"... hey"

"... oh"

And then the men looked at me and realized that they were discussing something with Hisohiso. I have been involved in defects several times because of my susceptible face in my human age. So I can largely imagine what those guys are up to. Well, let's move on, never mind.

"Oops."

Then the men surrounded me with a creepy grin.

"Come on, boy. We need a toll from here on out."

"Come on, give me all your money."

I breathed small. [M] Is this the pattern after all?

This would not have happened if I were the king now. [M] I kind of don't have an exhausting look on my back today. When you say it's almost time for a part-time interview, how will you take responsibility if you're late?

"... I don't like it, what if I said?

"Don't let the weak jerk off."

"If you don't want to get hurt, just get it out."

My grin spills unconsciously. My current possession is just a few copper coins I got from a florist's part-time job. You can give me something else to do, but that's boring.
