Chapter Forty-Seven: Is It Going Well or Not Going Well?
"It feels like things are going a little strange......"
Mu Xiu flipped through the stack of resumes in his hand one by one, and his expression became more and more strange.
"Let's say it's going well, it's not like I originally thought, let's say it didn't go well, but I think maybe it would be better this way......"
The stack of resumes in his hand was very thick, and it didn't look like there were hundreds of copies. The reason for this is that he bought all the maid cafes in Tokyo and planned to transform them into a chain business according to his wishes.
It doesn't matter if he loses money, he is just trying to cast a wide net, not to make money.
After all, if there is only one coffee shop hiring, it is difficult to ensure that you can accurately capture those two demons who are almost exhausted and run out of ammunition.
He doesn't have a Master Ball in his hand, and instead of thinking about it, it is better to buy a rice cooker and exchange it for the skill of "Demon Sealing Wave".
But what if you take down all the coffee shops in the city, put out hiring conditions that those two demons can't refuse, and make sure that the ads are placed in every corner of the city...... That's a different story.
It can be said that the chances are much greater, and it can even be said that they are nine out of ten.
And yetβ
"Unexpected......"
Mu Xiu's fingers flexibly took out two forms from the neat pile of resumes in his hand, stared at the names and avatar photos of the candidates on them, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.
In the photo column on the first resume, there is a tall, gentle-looking young man with silver hair and brown eyes, whose name is "Shiro Ashiya" written in regular handwriting.
The next column contains basic information such as "height 185cm" and "weight 75kg".
Luckily, he didn't at least write "Age: 1500 years old", "Origin: Demon Realm", "Special Skills or Hobbies: Conquest of the World...... And so on, and so on.
Even if you say that, no one will believe it.
"It seems that those two demons are really adaptable enough, and they are basically able to pretend to be normal earthlings......" Mu Xiu muttered to himself, and then frowned.
Because only Shiro Ashiya submitted a letter of intent, but Sadao Mano did not, which is completely contrary to the situation he envisioned before.
Although Shiro Ashiya is particularly talented in housekeeping compared to Sadao Makoku, as long as he trains systematically for a period of time, even if he is not as good as an SSR-level debt housekeeper, it is not too different......
It's just that what Mu Xiu wants is not really a housekeeper.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice for him to directly use the man-making function of the big ball of light to create the most intimate and loyal and excellent housekeeper?
Mu Xiu shook his head, rejecting the idea, and then carefully thought about how to deal with such a change.
He originally chose this way in order to restrain the two demons naturally, if he deliberately beat Ashiya Shiro back, he would be replaced by Manoku Sadao......
- Isn't that a bit too purposeful?
"Creating man? Wait, you guy...... Do you have the ability to create life on your own? β
Penglai Shan Huiye next to her looked up from the PSP screen in surprise, she wondered if she had heard it wrong, could that realm be easily stepped into?
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Ahem, Kaguya, what you say sounds so strange - I'm neither a hydra nor an earthworm, how can I do this kind of thing alone!"
The corners of Mu Xiu's mouth twitched slightly, and then decisively chose to deny it.
"Well, let me remind you, the concubine remembers that earthworms are also allogeneally reproduced!" Penglai Mountain Huiye replied coldly, and then she continued to stare at Mu Xiu, whose eyes were shaken violently.
"By the way, Your Royal Highness Princess, do you think what I should choose now?"
After a pause, Mu Xiu blinked, and simply pretended that nothing had happened, and handed over the two resumes in his hand.
"You should learn how to change the subject more effectively and without a trace, this is too stiff......" The black girl frowned, but she also put down the handheld in her hand and reached out to take the two resumes.
Mu Xiu pretended not to hear: "Shiro Ashiya can actually do it, as the demon generalissimo and the right-hand man of the demon king, as long as he is restrained, the effect is actually the same, it is better to say that it will be even better......"
"Then you just choose him directly, why do you still talk about this topic with the concubine?"
Penglai Shan Huiye frowned, revealing a puzzled expression.
"The problem is another person, so I can't make a decision for a while."
Mu Xiu said with a haha, "The other one is my classmate, she probably decided to come out to work because her parents' company went bankrupt, no wonder she has always been in no energy these days, and I don't know why she actually chose our coffee shop." β
ββ¦β¦ Is this also what your clairvoyance foresees? Her Royal Highness was slightly confused.
She knew that Mu Xiu was not from her own world, but she didn't know that Mu Xiu was not from this world in the first place. In her opinion, the guy who can even know the world he was in is probably specialized in prophecy.
It just so happens that the other party has indeed awakened the EX-level clairvoyance not long ago.,Being able to see through the past and the future.,So it seems reasonable.γ
"Let's just say that, it's not important anyway......"
Mu Xiu could only answer vaguely, he was now extremely glad that his explanation to Her Royal Highness the princess at the beginning, as well as the various house resources he gave her, were the type that filtered out any clues about Gensokyo and the world he was in.
Otherwise, it's really hard to fool the past now.
"So what? Are you going to help her? β
Kaguya said casually, not dwelling on this matter. She took a closer look at the resume in her hand, but she didn't find that this girl had any potential to be a maid, and she had no experience, so she frowned slightly.
"After all, it's one of the few friends I have...... Well, it's not that I'm boasting, I'm confident that I don't have many friends! Mu Xiu said as usual, smiled heartily at her and extended a thumbs up.
"That's not a boast."
Penglai Mountain Huiye glanced at him deeply: "Since you think it may be embarrassing, then leave her as a concubine, and she is also a girl, so it's much better than this." β
She casually threw Shiro Ashiya's resume back, leaving only the one of the spring breeze thousand cherry blossoms.
"Since you've made your decision, it's good, let's go for a week! After this time, it would be less abrupt to tell them that they had been hired separately because of their excellent performance. β
Mu Xiu nodded, and the decision was made.
He really wanted to leave the spring breeze Qianying directly, but considering that he was familiar with her, it would probably be embarrassing even if he pretended not to know her, so he didn't make a decision at the first time.
But it's much easier now, not as my own, but as Kaguya's maid, and I think this kind of arrangement will be greatly relieved to come to Chisakura-san, right?
"Then, I'll go over and make arrangementsβ" Mu Xiu put all his resumes in order, turned around and left the house.
"Well, see you later."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Time: March 26, 10:34 a.m.
Location: A Japanese-style room with a large three-tsubo that can be seen everywhere.
"Lord Demon King, after a week of hard work, I have finally been chosen!"
"Hmm, so what?"
In the center of the room, two men sat staring at each other over the scarred kotatsu, seemingly talking.
"But, Lord Demon. Now I have found this job as a full-time housekeeper. β
The slender young man got up slowly and said respectfully to the person opposite.
"Even if you can choose to come back for the night after eleven o'clock every night, and you can take a day off on Saturdays, you may need to take care of yourself at other times......
The mild-haired young man raised his eyebrows, and suddenly looked very dissatisfied, but his dissatisfaction was due to other reasons-
"I'm annoyed, Ashiya! Do you think that if I leave you, I will starve to death by myself! β
"No, that's not what I meant!" The slender man with silver hair and brown eyes hurriedly said, his calm and deep voice sounding a little embarrassed.
"Although I don't have much money left in my account now, my job has stabilized, if you want to do it, Lord Demon......"
"I don't want to! I hate loans! Makoku Sadao decisively vetoed, "What's more, you have to pay a handling fee for installments, right?" I don't want to spend my money on something that doesn't have a substance, and you don't need to talk about it, I won't agree to it. β
"But if you change to a better place to live in advance......"
"No need, Ashiya, you have to remember that our original goal was to conquer the human world, not to improve living conditions!"
The Demon King said something strange, stood up and waved his hand vigorously, "We now have the capital to start gradually, and the next most important thing is to save ......"
Speaking of this, he paused and took a deep breath: "-Instead of wasting those capital on small things such as moving, improving food and living conditions!" β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Shiro Ashiya was silent for a moment: "I'm very sorry, I really have to blame me for being too useless." However, during this period of patience for the sake of a comeback, the Demon King is a symbol of leadership. You should be tireless, take care of your health, and lead by example, right? β
When the loyal subordinate said this, the demon king bowed his head and remained silent, as if he was reflecting.
However, Shiro Ashiya did not stop there, but sighed and continued: "Konjac, gherkins, and milk...... I always eat these things every day, and I hope that before I go back there, I don't die suddenly because of civilization disease. β
Their current situation is almost no different from that of humans, and their faint magic can only be used to unleash the simplest hypnosis.
"I'm annoyed! Wordy! Iser, if you want to preach, we have to wait until we make it back! Sadao changed the subject impatiently, "There is a concept of demon king and magic power in this world, and the concept must have its roots, is there a way for you to find a way to restore the magic power?" β
"I already have a clue, Lord Demon King, there is another form of mysterious power in this world, and the evil spirits and exorcists we have encountered these days are one of them." Shiro Ashiya said in a low voice.
"And the guy who hired me also said that this job could last a long time, and it would require exposure to the extraordinary side of the world, so I would agree to be his butler and work for him."
It is for this reason that he agrees to become a real full-time butler, otherwise he would probably prefer to stay in the coffee shop and play the role of butler, greeting customers, although the salary will not be too high, but at least it will be enough.
"That's right, Ashiya, your choice is correct, since you have a clue, let's do it, I'm a demon king, I don't need you to be by your side all the time to take care of yourself!"
Masadao was overjoyed.
Demon Generalissimo Ishel nodded heavily, but there was a word that didn't come out.
Just as Satan, the Demon King, is gradually adapting to life in this world, and his size is getting smaller day by day, they are now human beings, both outwardly and internally.
It seems that they are gradually losing their way to the future on the same path.
I always feel that if this continues, the Demon King will soon lower his goal from "conquering the world" to "being the manager of a part-time store".
And I'm afraid that I will slowly become a competent demon steward...... Well, isn't this kind of future too bad?
