Chapter 10: Curtilova
"Then, our Royal Highness Princess Cortilova is invited!"
The majestic air cruiser unfolded a glass-like but ethereal staircase to the ground, and a girl in a gorgeous costume walked slowly down.
As the girls walked, the stairs under their feet gradually turned into the red used to greet the "VIPs", replacing the role of the red carpet.
With pale blonde curls and sparkling crystal-like purple eyes, and a short height, this was the appearance of a girl with only light makeup, and a childlike look on her faceβthough she was probably over fourteen years old.
As the princess of the Interstellar Alliance, it is natural that she needs to be reported to attend the academy in the frontier fortress city of Thrantil, with many high-ranking officials and even officers in general's uniforms standing on either side - as well as those "Hegemony" mechs in various forms.
The three-dimensional holographic screen in the center of the square showed the princess in the grand scene, but it was of little use to Waruffy to know about it.
At the moment, Voruffi is selling newspapers......
Although paper-like newspapers have long been largely replaced, there is still a market for them as a tradition that has been handed down.
One of the reasons why Voruffi chose this job was to settle the salary on the same day, which was a pile of newspapers that Voruffi had begged for a long time to be allowed to pay without a deposit, but because it was the first time to sell, Wooluffi was still a little embarrassed to shout, and only a small amount of crystal income was made in half a day.
However, being embarrassed to speak because of the large number of people makes Voruffi himself a little incredulous, in other words, lions are not shy not to hunt because of the large number of antelopes, and for Wooluffy, humans should not be particularly different from "food".
"Now, forget it, you go, you're not fit to do this. β
After Voluffy went back, the old man put away the remaining newspapers and didn't ask for any more money from Voluffy, but just shook his head: "Look at you pitiful, you can use this money." β
"Thank you, old man. "Wooluffi felt a little guilty, he did cause trouble to the other party, if it weren't for himself, these newspapers would have been sold out by others long ago.
Crystal Ore Card is not a very rare thing, as long as there is Crystal Ore Energy, you can exchange it, but Waluffy regards it as a treasure, after all, this is the first time she has received a gift from a kind human - except for Hilde's broken paper, Wooluffi just threw it away!
Thankfully, this bit of crystal ore is enough to get some food, but it's more cost-effective to buy convenience food from outside than in restaurants.
Wooluffi had already spent all the crystals just by buying enough of the cheapest food to eat, and it looked like Voruffie was going to find a job target as soon as possible.
However, it is not easy to find the right one, after all, what Wooluffi knows about human beings is only a small part of the inherited memory, far from the level of understanding, not to mention the high-tech fortress city, it is normal for technology to replace manpower, and there are very few places that need manpower.
It's getting dark soon, and it looks like sleeping on the streets of Voruffi is inevitable.
Waluffe thought about it, and when he looked up, he suddenly found a very chic shop in front of him, Eve's Dessert Shop.
After thinking about it, I might be able to help out, and the dessert shop also provides food, so maybe I can use it as a reward compared to a restaurant.
Of course, another reason is that most of the people who come to the dessert shop are young people, and the store manager is not theoretically very old, so maybe Wo Lufei can communicate well with the other party.
Pushing the door open, I found that the store was not large, perhaps because it was close to evening and there were no customers, only two women were laughing, both about twenty years old, and both of them were blonde, the difference was that they were one roll and one long, and their appearance was somewhat similar, and Voruffi guessed that they might be sisters.
Seeing Voruffi enter, one of the younger women hurriedly ran over and said, "Welcome sir, sit here." β
"Oh, sorry, I'm not here for dessert. Wooluffi hesitated for a moment, and then said what he meant.
At this time, another woman also came over and asked, "Part-time job, are you in any trouble, child?"
β......οΌβ
"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not looking down on you, I'm just a little strange, you look like you're only fifteen or sixteen years old, what are you doing when you come out to work, what about your parents?" the woman asked with some strange and concern.
"That" Voruffi hesitated a little, while the other woman pulled the previous woman when she saw this: "Sister, don't ask like that. β
"Oh, I'm sorry. The woman smiled before: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, after all, it may be your **." β
"Thanks, may I ask if I can work here for a while?" asked Voruffi tentatively again.
"Well, you can. The woman smiled, "I'm Rorty, and this is my sister Keisha." β
After a pause, Rorty said: "If you work part-time, our store is actually not short of manpower, after all, we are a dessert shop, mainly young people and children as the main customers, and the source of customers is not much, our sisters can handle it, but if you are in trouble and need money, you can come to work with us." β
"Thank you, Sister Rorty. Voruffi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him, the other party could agree so easily, maybe in addition to helping his own trouble, but more importantly, because he seemed to be a human child who was not in danger at all.
"Well, it's right to take care of my little brother, I'm twenty-three years old, you should only be sixteen, right?" Rorty smiled, and Voruffi acquiesced.
Kaisha, who had long blond hair next to her, also smiled: "I'm nineteen years old and your sister, so, what's your name, handsome little guy?"
"Wooluffie, you can call me Wooluffi. β
"Woluffy, then, when are you going to work?" asked Rorty suddenly.
Without hesitation, Voruffi replied, "Anytime." β
"Well, then you should be a greeter, a waiter and porter if necessary. Rorty said, gesturing to the door of the dessert shop.
"That's... Let me be the welcome?" Wooluffy was stunned.
"Do you know why?" Rorty looked at Voruffi and suddenly smiled: "Haha, of course it's because of your face, so handsome, why don't you wash the dishes on stage?!"
β......β
Voruffi thinks that as a dragon... As a dragon... For the Dragons... Dragons... Tribe......
As a dragon clan, it is obvious that you can rely on strength and bloodline, but you have to rely on your face or something
Forget it, don't think about the dignity of the dragon clan at this time, anyway, there is no way that anyone from a mere dessert shop will see that he is a dragon, so it doesn't matter if he works in the appearance of a human.
At least for now, compared to making money, the dignity of the dragon clan can be completely abandoned to the alien planet.
"Okay, come over and change clothes, don't be upset, the welcome is not very tired, although you are a child, it is no problem. Rorty smiled: "No matter how long it takes, let me know when you want to leave, and I will settle your salary." β
Wooluffi nodded slightly.
...
"Welcome. β
Faced with a young couple who re-entered the store, Voruffi was very responsible for welcoming his guests.
For a week, Willow worked at the dessert shop, but said it was work, and spent most of the time chatting with Keisha.
For a younger brother like Voruffy, Keisha can be described as very enthusiastic and caring, which makes Voruffi feel a little embarrassed.
"What kind of ice cream do you like to eat? I prefer strawberries. β
In her free time, Keisha sat with Waluffy and discussed with great interest.
"Ice cream... To be honest, I don't really like it, but if you talk about the taste, the cantaloupe is good. Wooluffi seemed to think for a moment before he said.
However, Wooluffi had never eaten ice cream, but it was too abnormal to say that he had never eaten it, so Wooluffi had to say a casual taste, which was not casual, because when handing out desserts such as ice cream cakes to guests, the taste of cantaloupe still smelled very good.
"Cantaloupe, I don't like it a little, but if I had to choose, I'd prefer papaya. Keisha's tone was a little resentful, and Waluffy didn't feel anything at first, but inadvertently saw Keisha in front of him, and suddenly thought of the role of papaya-
"What are you thinking?" Seeing Voruffy staring at her, Kesha's tone suddenly became unusually cold, as if she was about to swallow Voruffy.
"Ahh I didn't see it!" Voruffi snorted, but Keisha didn't want to let go of the other party, and pressed to ask, "No, you just absolutely saw it, and there is still a trace of disdain in your eyes!
"I wronged ......"
"Swear!"
Voruffi raised his hand with a smile: "I lied, I am not human! I swore that you still don't believe me?"
"That's pretty much it!" Keisha let go of the palpitating Wolufi, who could make a demon dragon so "scared", except for the female dragon of the same race, I am afraid that there are only women among the human race.
Rottie, who was watching the two at the front desk, shook her head helplessly when she saw this, her sister's behavior was very clear to her, Rotti liked Voruffy.
After all, she is so handsome, even if she is a few years younger, it is not a problem, and it is obvious that Keisha is trying to conquer Volofe.
However, Rorty didn't care about this, because Keisha was completely "hot in three minutes", and there were seven handsome guests she liked and dated in the past, and finally broke up in only three or five months, and the same is probably true for Voruffy.
That evening, the three of Rottikasa and Voruffie were eating the rest of the desserts together - the perishable types had to be dealt with as soon as possible, and if they were not sold out, they had to be eliminated on their own, mainly pastries, and they were ready to close the door and go back to sleep after eating, there were many rooms, and Valente was also a single room.
But at this time, a girl who pushed the door and entered, wearing a mask, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but she was very short, less than 1.5 meters by sight, so she was not old.
"A glass of sundae, strawberry flavored. β
The girl sat down at the table in the corner, and just said something sweet, and from the voice she could tell that it was a young girl.
It's strange, it's not cold outside, why is this girl wearing a mask?
Voruffi took out the sundae and sent it over.
Voruffi sent cold food, and the girl stared at Voruffi's face without looking at the sundae.
"Is there anything wrong?" asked Wooluffy.
The girl did not reply, and Wooluffi looked at her strangely, and then stopped standing, and turned back to her seat.
Seeing Voruffi leave, the girl thoughtfully, pulled off her mask and began to eat the sundae in small bites.
After the girl opened the mask, Voluffy could see the other party's face, a very standard beauty, thirteen or fourteen years old.
It was normal, there were no scars, and Voruffi couldn't help but be confused, and at the same time there was a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen each other somewhere.
About ten minutes later, the girl finished eating the sundae and took out her crystal card to pay the bill.
"Welcome to come back next time. "Waluffi does his job as usual.
Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly smiled when she heard this, and saw that Rorty and Keisha were preparing to close the store later, so she immediately approached Voruffie and said a word in a soft tone, and Voruffy's face suddenly couldn't hide her shock.
"You ......"
The girl didn't speak, but leaned closer to Wooluffi's ear again.
After the girl finished speaking, she did not leave, but lingered in front of the store, and by the way, put on her mask again.
Voruffi was silent, then approached Rorty and Keisha and said, "Sister Rorty, Sister Kesha, I think I'm leaving. β
"What?" Rorty and Keisha were startled.
"What's wrong with you, Voruffie, why did you suddenly say you were leaving?" Rorty walked over and asked with some surprise, "Is it because I didn't pay you?"
"No, you have been very kind to me, and I am grateful to you, but my family suddenly came to me, and I missed them, so I want to go back. "Valente had to lie.
"Hey, you guy is going to leave, it's only been a few days!" Keisha also said angrily in a panic: "Really!"
Voruffi bowed: "I'm sorry, I'll remember the days of working here, and thank my sisters for taking care of me, but I'm really leaving." β
Although he was very puzzled by Waluffy's hasty request to leave, Roty had no intention of asking any more questions, no matter what his own reasons.
"Well, Voruffy, I won't say anything, but I hope you won't forget your Rorty and Sister Kesha, and if you run away from home, you are always welcome to continue your part-time journey. β
Obviously, Rorty regarded Yun Feng as a child who ran away from home but was suddenly found by his family, and the girl outside just saw what Roty had just done, in her opinion, the girl and Woluffy were acquaintances, and she also told Woluffy's family the news.
Take Voruffi's crystal card, and Rorty fills it with the crystal ore reserve.
"It's the salary you deserve, and even when you go home, you need to have your own money. Rorty smiled, "Goodbye." β
"Hmph, goodbye!" Keisha said with a huff in her chest.
"Goodbye, Sister Rorty, Sister Keisha. Volufe nodded, and turned to walk towards the door.
And when the girl saw that Wo Lufei had finished saying goodbye, she also pushed open the door and walked out, and the two disappeared from the field of vision of the dessert shop one after the other.
The red moon shone on the earth, and Voruffi and the girl walked one after the other, until there was no one else around, and Voruffi quickly stepped in front of the girl, and asked in a cold tone.
"Why do you want me to come with you, Her Royal Highness Princess Curtilova who has just arrived in Thrantil?"
