Chapter 88 – Want Me to Pretend to Be Your Boyfriend?
The people problem was quickly resolved.
-Recruiting people.
I just wrote down these four letters, and everyone from commoners to nobles came to me, saying they wanted to be interviewed.
It was definitely a different reaction than in the past when only commoners came to visit.
Is this Hero Premium?
In the past, there were only kids with no background, but this time, people with moderate culture came, and it was enough to put them on the 4th floor.
Looking at things like this, having the title of hero isn’t a bad thing.
“Please help me!”
Except for the knights who come like leeches like that.
“Whoa.”
I wrote four letters on stiff paper and stuck them on the door.
-Knight envoy.
Even if I give up a hundred steps, I won’t be able to deal with these knights anymore.
In this way, we hired 6 additional people, 4 people to help with the cosmetics and clothing store on the 4th floor and 2 people to help with the convenience store on the 1st floor.
They are all barons or viscounts.
Two female employees who said it was okay to work on the first floor were assigned to the convenience store.
When I looked at it like this, except for me and Sandro Dmitri, all the employees are female.
‘I’ll have to hire a separate employee later to put in more effort.’
I didn’t mean to, but I keep getting picked like that.
“Please take care of me!”
They bowed their heads politely despite the fact that Sandro, who was younger than them, was the manager in charge of the 4th floor.
Cancer, the hierarchical relationship must be made clear.
‘No matter how you look at it, I did a good job selecting people.’
I also relaxed when I saw a look of relief on Sandro’s face, who had suffered due to a lack of personnel.
Right in front of my eyes.
[We have recruited the necessary staff. – 12 people/12 people]
[The 5th floor is open.]
[5th floor – Magic goods store]
It became a message that a new floor had been opened.
“… A magic goods store?”
Before I could express my impressions of the newly opened 5th floor, the following message confused my eyes.
[Next number of floors to open: Basement 1]
[In order to open the first basement floor, an employee who meets the conditions is required. 7th rank wizard 0/1]
It was a message that seemed to be pinching someone.
It was obvious who it was.
A 7th rank wizard and someone who would work at this convenience store.
Not Kalimos at all.
Not even the current magic tower lord at all.
A crazy wizard who once wanted to study me whenever I was crazy about research.
A wizard who tried to charm me with the black magic of a succubus.
A genius wizard who has now given me a virgin.
I met her not too long ago
‘Lepis.’
Why that woman?
I thought while checking the status window.
The reason for the system that requires hiring Lepis.
‘There must be a reason.’
What is it?
The system was not friendly enough to inform us that far.
‘Is it because of the store that will be built on the first basement floor?’
There must be a reason why the 5th floor is not the 6th floor in the first place, but the first basement floor.
For example, if a bar opens, or something related to magic opens, or something like that.
‘Something like a casino might open on the first basement floor.’
Does that mean we need combat personnel to prepare for that?
Whatever the reason, I now have a reason to visit at least once.
You might need to check.
While I was thinking so.
Rattle!
“Welcome. DG convenience store… Ah, it’s Sylvia.”
“Hello. Store manager.”
Sylvia returned from her academy class with a man.
“Hello. My name is Loica Brigitte, one year older than Sylvia!”
He was a male student with short blue hair.
He didn’t look like a wizard. The muscular muscles, tanned skin, and calluses visible on the palms of his hands made me guess that this guy was a promising future student attending the Department of Engineers.
As for Brigitte, I understand that she was a member of the Marquis family, which was quite powerful in the border region.
As it is a representative knightly family, I understand that there were many quite outstanding knights…
‘Is this guy also from that branch?’
A royal ceremony from a fairly powerful marquis family.
He was a person who wouldn’t be a bad person to keep an eye on for Sylvia’s future.
“You’re Sylvia’s academy senior, right? Nice to meet. “My name is Dojin, the store manager here.”
If you are a senior and not just anyone else, you should treat him well.
I don’t know how Sylvia is doing at her academy, but it’s good news that she has a senior who comes to the convenience store with her.
It probably means that you are adapting well in your own way.
For her sake, shouldn’t I also be nice to Sylvia’s classmates?
Since it was a convenience store, she didn’t have much to give, and I was just thinking that I should at least pick up some fruit and drinks on the way.
“As expected, Sylvia brags a lot about herself, Dojin. “She is someone I respect and a trustworthy boyfriend.”
What does this mean?
Boyfriend?
I looked at Sylvia and asked with her eyes.
It would be a disaster if Elena wasn’t there right now.
“Oh, my child… Do, Dojin oppa, follow me for a moment. “I have something to say.”
Sylvia grabbed my sleeve and led me.
I left the counter to the newly hired employees for a while and followed Sylvia to the warehouse.
“Sylvia, what’s going on? “Are you a boyfriend?”
“Well, that’s…”
Silvia lowered her head as if she was sorry and slowly opened her mouth.
“Actually, more and more people are bothering me at the academy…”
“You’re bothering me?”
Sylvia nodded her head.
“Actually, I spent about two weeks without any problems after returning to school. A while ago, I started lying because boys kept making me laugh. “I have a boyfriend, so don’t bother me.”
Her voice creeps in.
Her voice was so timid that it seemed like Sylvia, who always shouted out loud, was right.
When she worked at the convenience store, she was rarely criticized because of her sharp eyes and classy appearance.
It wasn’t because she wasn’t attractive.
Her guests here did not dare to touch her because they were overwhelmed by her strange aristocratic aura.
Like a flower hanging on a cliff.
But she must have been different at the academy.
Sylvia Pollion.
She was a member of the Pollion family, which exerted considerable power in her center.
She once belonged to a great family, but now she is a commoner with no status.
There must have been many fly-like guys at the academy who coveted her abilities and looks and approached her.
Inevitably, a breakwater was needed to avoid such a dash.
“So the kids asked you who your boyfriend is?”
“Yes…”
“You had no choice but to use my name?”
“Sorry. The only man I know around me is the store manager…”
That’s what I became.
In order to shake off the annoying gazes of the powerful families attending the academy, a halo from someone with more power was needed.
As long as I am a warrior and the sword of the empire, then what?
It’s best to keep your mouth shut.
“Then did that friend come to check on that?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“So that guy is also one of those flies trying to do something to you?”
Nod.
“Silvia, do you have a heart?”
Doridori.
Well, if I had my heart, I wouldn’t have brought her here like this.
“So you’re asking me to get rid of that friend and make sure?”
“I’m sorry. I am truly sorry. Store manager.”
Sylvia repeatedly lowered her head.
She expressed her regret by using the old way of speaking that she didn’t use anymore.
It can’t be helped.
She must have endured and endured.
You probably didn’t want things to proceed this way.
I know because we worked together.
What kind of person is Sylvia?
“Then if we’re going to do it, let’s do it right. “Understand, right?”
“Yes, got it. I will never let you down!”
Sylvia clenched her fists.
Don’t disappoint.
Even though I wondered if it was necessary to go to such lengths to act as her boyfriend, I was relieved to see that she was determined.
I wondered if she had been hurt, but she didn’t seem to be.
“Let’s go out.”
I held Sylvia’s hand.
Let’s put our hands together.
“Hiccup!”
Sylvia was startled, and her body trembled.
“Um, store manager?”
“If you’re going to do it, you have to do it for sure. Even if it’s uncomfortable, endure it.”
“Ah yes…”
I left the warehouse with Sylvia, her face turning red, and went out to the convenience store.
“Oh, are you here?”
“I’m sorry, I was a little surprised because the visit wasn’t discussed in advance.”
“Oh, no.”
The face of Loika, the knight’s undergraduate student, froze as Silvia looked at her clasped hands.
It was quite nice to see the hardened face.
“I don’t mind coming alone or sometimes with female classmates, but it’s a little embarrassing to come with male classmates.”
“I see.”
His eyes keep falling on her joined hands.
Sylvia’s acting is fantastic.
It was nice to see her face blushing and not knowing what to do as she held my hand, a girl’s reaction to holding hands with someone she likes for the first time.
If she steps up and acts in earnest, I can’t lose.
“It’s because I’m a bit clingy and can’t stand it when my woman comes with another man.”
“Ah, ah…”
I focused Loika’s attention on me.
We need to push hard here.
If he goes back and creates rumors, there will be no more people to mess with.
“When was it? During the battle that took place during the Prince’s Rebellion, my subordinates dared to touch my woman, so I cut off their heads in one fell swoop. But you know that, right? Anything happens on the battlefield.”
Roika’s body trembled when her eyes met mine.
Looking at that guy, he exuded death.
There was only one person, Roica, who stood up to the murderousness I was emitting.
Rattling.
The guy’s body was shaking as if he was in the middle of a bitter cold season.
“You too are a student of knighthood and will go to battle someday, so let me give you some advice. If I just write the word “Death in battle” On the autographs of my subordinates who have lost their heads, that event will become non-existent. “Isn’t it very comfortable?”
It becomes gray.
“Could it be that you also have feelings for my girlfriend?”
“Well, that’s it… I…”
The guy couldn’t speak properly.
“Is there one? Is there anything? Just say that. That will decide your future.”
“Oh, none!”
I smiled at Roika’s answer.
The murderous spirit that had been encroaching only on Loika until now has faded.
“Thank god. “I was wondering what would happen if I had to pay one invoice.”
“Ha, haha.”
Smiling awkwardly, Roy Carr shook her head.
“I’m glad you don’t have any feelings. Do you want to eat something? “Convenience stores have everything except what they don’t have.”
“Oh, no. It’s okay! Well, I remembered that I was busy… Sylvia, I’m sorry. “I have a place I need to go urgently.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“Yes?”
“Say good things to the matriarch. I will come visit you sometime soon. “I don’t think we’ve seen each other since we met on the battlefield.”
“Yes! Ah, I understand!”
Roica ran away much faster than he came in.
She must have been scared because she even forgot to say hello to Sylvia.
‘This should be enough.’
From now on, there won’t be any boys bothering Sylvia at the academy.
I wonder if it’s okay to get involved in her dating business like this…
Because it was Sylvia’s request.
I looked at Sylvia, who was still holding her hand and was blushing.
She turned her head shyly, unable to even look at her face.
Even though Loika had gone a long time ago, she was still holding my hand without letting go of her hand.
Was I really nervous?
Sweat came from her hands and wet my hands.
Her hands were extremely hot.
“Silvia, Loica has gone. “I won’t bother you in the future.”
“Ah yes… Thank you. Store manager. Hehe.”
But she still didn’t think about letting go of her hand.
Instead, she wiggled her fingers and swallowed her saliva.
“Sylvia?”
“Yes?”
“How long does she plan on holding her hand?”
“Ah, ah! Hehe! “I’m sorry.”
Silvia let out her strange moan and quickly let go of her hand.
Her face turned bright red, as if it was going to explode at any moment.
Just like her hair color.
“It’s love.”
“It’s love.”
Newly hired convenience store employees were whispering nearby.
