Life with a Tail

14 Unexpected

The job meant starting the next day, so I decided to spend that day sightseeing and relaxing in the Wang Capital.

That said, I can't get in the castle that I want to see the most, so I'm just walking (...) plain with Ruti holding hands where appropriate.

"By the way, what's wrong with holding hands all of a sudden?

"Uh, look, there's a lot of people out there, and don't get out of it?

Why doubtful form. Well, girls wouldn't be so strange with each other, and let's go.

"Oh, hey, isn't that cute?

"It's true, let's take a look."

The store selling accessories is closing in on me. There were not only gemstones, but also beautiful glass, stone objects and so on.

"You're pretty ladies for a long time. Why don't you buy some for a little cheaper?

What an incitement to sell in the store owner's grandfather. It's strange because when people say beautiful, it's going to be gone even more.

"Hmm, I don't know what to do.... That's right, Ruti, why don't we pick each other out and present each other?

"Uh... yeah. Fine."

Um, what would Ruti look good for... Looking at everything, I saw the first. Pendant with red stone on silver chain at one point. If that...

"Grandpa, please"

"Is that the Garnet guy? This would be... two pieces of gold."

I know you're deducting the value, but it's pretty expensive... But it's a gift, so let's get excited.

"Ruti, do you have a minute?

I'll quickly turn my hand around your neck and put it on you. Yeah, it looks good as you can imagine.

Ruti's eye-colored stone on my hair-colored chain.... I guess the chain didn't have to be silver. Kind of embarrassing.

"This color..."

Oh, they noticed. Extra embarrassing.

"Because of this, I chose colors that are edged (itchy) with each other..."

"Well... hehe, I guess this is for Natsuki"

That's what Ruti chose: a black leather choker with gold embellishments on one point.

He gives his grandfather the money and puts it on me. [M]

"Yeah, you look great after all"

I feel somewhat tickled and the two of us laugh at each other couscous.

"What, is that the kind of relationship you girls have?

Suddenly my grandfather said that as I nicked him. Huh? That's what you mean, oh?

"Yes, no! Oh, no!

"What? Right. No, those people came along during this time. I thought it might be nice."

"Yikes! Ruti!"

My face got hot at once, so I pulled Ruti's hand and left the store. Every time - what a voice I hear. Ruti's face is also bright red. I'm gonna shake it back. My hands are a little strong, too. Damn it! You old man!

The next day, it was designated time, so I headed to the cafe. Apparently his name is Sun Luke.

There is no terrace, but it is tailored for a relaxing atmosphere with ornamental plants.

"Hey, there you are. Are these the kids you guys are coming in from today?

It was the owner, Mr. Reasoner, who said that and welcomed me. He's got long ears, so he's an elf? When I asked him, he said he was a forest man in this world.

"Then we're just a few minutes away from opening, will you get dressed for this?"

That's how they gave me maid clothes. Except for the short awesome skirt. Huh? Are you sure you want to wear this?

"I have a reputation for being cute in my uniform, but they're all shy to stop. Thank you for coming."

I see, the reason the reward is good is because you don't want me to quit as much as I can?

Hmm, but this skirt length... is pretty embarrassing. I think I can see it when I'm alarmed. Looks like it's probably banned with the spats... I wish it would be cold soon in the fall.... Oh, so there's no terrace? so we can do it all year round. A store with a uniform... This is a cafe, right?

Ruti was dressed first when she was worried.

"Natsuki needs to get dressed soon, too. It's about time, isn't it?

Ruti is also embarrassed to say that, he cares a little about the hem of his skirt. She is also cute because of her thin, red face. Do I look good too... Get ready to change.

"What do you think?

"Yeah, you look great."

Good. What a relief it was, it was open time.

"Welcome!

The time is around noon. The store was full, and people waiting for empty seats were starting to show up.

"It wasn't like that in the morning, but it's been amazing!

I put that in my mouth while cleaning out the dishes behind me.

"Maybe the morning customers spread the word. He said he had a really cute kid in there. That's both of us, so maybe it's an extra good response."

That's what Mr. Reasoner, whose shop flourishes and Nico faces, says.

I know Ruti, but am I too? I tried to praise myself for being cool before, but I didn't think that was it.

"In the meantime, Mr. Third Table, coffee and tea, scones, please.

"Copy that. This is for table six."

It was just the two of us and Mr. Reasoner. Since we are both in charge of the hall, Mr. Reasoner will inevitably be in charge of cooking. Because it's a cafe. Still, you haven't turned around saying it's a normal place to eat, this.

The day ended up being full until closing. This is tough on my first day. Is everything okay after tomorrow? With that in mind, the two of us dragged our tired bodies back to the inn.
