210 A tragedy caused by a gold coin
"Uh-huh~"
Juventus are in a very good mood right now, and just now, he was thanked by a very cute girl and received a tip of up to a gold coin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For a waiter like him, who is not very high-status, a gold coin is already a lot of money. You must know that even if a nobleman with a head and face comes to dine here, their consumption will basically not reach the same amount as a gold coin, and this small thing can already let him rest for a long time.
"Haha, let's buy some supplements for my father when I get home tonight, he has been in poor health recently, and he should make up for it. โ
Thinking so, Juventus put the gold coin, which still had some body temperature of Pandora, into his pocket and grinned and put away the plate.
Unconsciously, everything in front of me seems to have become beautiful.
"Hey, Juventus, come here. โ
Just as he was happy, a middle-aged man's voice came from next to him.
โ......โ
That's the last thing Juve want to see right now.
Juventus's dream since childhood was to become a magician, and his parents were very supportive, but his family was in a mediocre situation, and he basically spent all his savings just by sending him to a magic school.
Outcome......
Juventus, who were not very talented, were eventually eliminated and did not really experience magic until the day they graduated. He became the laughing stock of everyone and the object of ridicule from those geniuses.
"Isn't this family stupid to spend so much money on a waste that has no ability? This kind of garbage can just be thrown away to clean the streets. โ
This is a phrase that is often heard when you are young.
Juventus was dissatisfied and unconvinced, and as a loser, he did not consider himself worse than the young masters of those rich families. He firmly believes that the reason why he has become this is simply because of the lack of funds to practice.
So he proposed to his parents that they would give him another sum of money so that he could start all over again.
But......
It's an impossible dream.
You know, magic is not the same as those swordsmanship. A swordsman, all he needs is a tool that is not too bad to match the sword, and this thing, for a few silver coins, can get the goods he is satisfied with from the blacksmith.
However, magic is not as simple as most people think, and in order to fully perceive its power, it is necessary to use high-quality hedrons. And this very expensive magic medium, the value of each one, at least in gold coins, is obviously impossible for a family like Juventus to live in.
"Kid...... I know you're smart, but magic isn't something we can learn. โ
That night, after he came up with the idea of wanting to study again, his father replied to him like this.
Yes, this is the end of his study career.
In a state of nothing, his father asked someone to find a restaurant he knew, and let him work as a waiter there, hoping that his son could be down-to-earth and rely on his own labor to support himself.
And then......
He got to know the boss in front of him.
From the beginning to the present, he is also very serious, meticulous in his work, and has been well received, but it is very disappointing that ...... He didn't seem to get the approval of the boss in front of him.
"Hello. โ
Juventus bowed his head in displeasure and said hello to him.
He looked down on the man in front of him, and as someone who had worked here for some time, Juventus knew the true face of his boss. Unclean food combined with unreasonable prices is a model for profiteers.
(I didn't expect that I would fall to such a point with such a gift...... ๏ผ
(If God had allowed me to be born into a wealthy family, I would have been a famous magician by now...... ๏ผ
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
After all, it is now under the fence, and Juventus has no choice but to put on a smiling face and communicate with their boss in a very polite tone.
โ...... Ah, Juventus, you've worked hard. โ
"It's not hard...... Not hard ......."
"I remember, I said before that all tips from guests are to be handed over, right?"
The fat man's expression changed, and his face was full of cunning.
(Old Fox...... ๏ผ
"So, you don't need to say what is going on, you understand everything. โ
The fat man smiled, and the fat on his face shook with his movements, and he looked very badly beaten, which almost made Juventus swing his fist and hit it.
"Boss, you see, my father has been unwell lately......"
"Ah, I know I know, my father and I are friends anyway, but that's not a reason for you to break my rules, is it?"
This reason did not impress him at all, and he still maintained that disgusting smile, his greedy eyes fixed on Juve's pocket where the gold coins were kept.
โ......โ
Juve looked down at his pocket, hesitated for a long time, and then put his hand inside.
"Well, yes, that's how it should be, and I'll consider giving you a salary increase later. โ
The fat man nodded with satisfaction when he saw this action, and hurriedly promised him a reward that was not very credible.
โ......โ
(What salary increase...... After saying it half a year ago, it hasn't changed in the slightest...... ๏ผ
(Why...... I'm going to end up like this as a magician...... ๏ผ
"It's because you're too weak, of course. โ
A sweet voice broke into Juve's mind.
"You don't have a tough enough attitude, so you can only endure the ridicule of others. โ
"The position is not firm enough, so it doesn't convince your parents. โ
"Being too weak is so weak that even in front of such people, you can only be the one who is being bullied. โ
"Poor, obviously very talented, obviously can become a world-famous great magician, but because of the ridiculous reason of not having money, he wants to work in such a place. โ
"Poor ...... Wretched...... Poor ......."
โ......โ
(yes, why am I...... To be at the mercy of such people?)
(Just a garbage making black money...... ๏ผ
(And now you want to take a tip from me?)
(No kidding! others see that I am handsome and attracted by my temperament, if you fat pig passes, how can someone give you money?)
(Unforgivable!Unforgivable!)
"What's the matter, get the money out!"
Seeing Juventus procrastinating and staying there, the fat man's voice became tough for fear that he would regret it.
"Poofโ"
"Woo......"
"Ah, boss, you just said, what should I take?"
Looking up, the eyes of the man, who was still full of sunshine before, had turned blood-red, and he had a wicked smile on his mouth, revealing a distorted expression.
