Chapter 101: Voting
This person is Alicia.
After the events of last night, she deeply understands that to uncover the truth hidden within the silver bracelet, the Holy Dragon Contract, she must seek the help of Shadie.
To do this, she needs to find a time to talk to Shadie alone.
She originally planned to enter the Nightmoon Tavern as a customer today, but instead, she found a notice of closure.
Upon inquiry, she learned that the restaurant has been closed for three or four consecutive days due to some issues, and no one knows when it will reopen.
Fortunately, while gathering information from an informant, she acquired a lot of useful intel.
The restaurant has actually been hiring staff, with three positions available: front desk, server, and kitchen assistant.
According to the informant, these positions are currently all maintained by the three daughters of the manager, but as the daughters grow older and develop their own dreams and aspirations, they are expected to leave the restaurant soon.
If the manager cannot find suitable replacements before that, he will directly shut down the restaurant.
And Shadie’s real name is Elrose.
She only started working at this restaurant about a month ago.
After thinking for a long time, Alicia decided that getting close to Shadie might be best achieved by working at the restaurant.
So, she directly took the recruitment flyer and pushed open the door to the Nightmoon Tavern.
Silk took the recruitment flyer and was slightly taken aback.
It had been a long time since anyone had applied to their restaurant.
Although they had distributed these flyers a long time ago and many had come to apply, they were often rejected by the three sisters, especially Stella, for strange reasons, so over time, very few people came to apply anymore.
Lilith hesitantly asked, “Are you really here to apply?”
“Yes,” Alicia nodded gently and then handed over her fabricated resume, “I’m here to apply for the kitchen assistant position.”
“Oh, is that so?” Lilith said, “Then wait here for a moment while I go talk to the manager about you.”
“Okay.”
“Dad, a super handsome guy has come to apply at our restaurant!” Lilith ran excitedly to the kitchen with the recruitment flyer and resume.
“Huh? A super handsome guy?” Kendrick raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah, super handsome,” Lilith said with a lovestruck expression, “I’ve never seen such a handsome guy before.”
“Uh…” Kendrick took the resume, glanced at the photo, and immediately felt speechless and said, “What the hell, where did this rich boy come from? Are you sure he’s here to apply?”
“Why else? To propose?” Lilith retorted.
At that moment, others gathered around Kendrick to look at the resume in his hand.
“Alicia, twenty years old, traveler, applying for kitchen assistant, culinary skills excellent, salary requirements flexible, just needs food and accommodation.” Stella quickly summarized the content of the resume.
“A traveler?” Cedric smiled slightly, “Looks like he’s here to earn some travel expenses for his next journey.”
“How is it, how is it,” Lilith said excitedly, “Kendrick, what do you think of this person?”
Kendrick frowned slightly: “From just the resume, there’s obviously no problem.”
But the main issue is… he’s a male and even specifically emphasized needing food and accommodation?!
This…
The paternal instincts in Kendrick stirred up a sense of alertness.
Elrose looked at the photo on the resume. She suddenly felt that this person looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere, but she couldn’t quite remember.
Just then.
“Blue and white long hair?”
“Vixen?!”
“You really dared to come!!!”
Elrose suddenly heard Luna clench her teeth, muttering something strange, and then asked puzzledly, “Luna, what are you talking about? Vixen? What vixen?!”
Luna immediately turned her head, looking at Elrose with a very complicated expression: “Well, Elrose, let me ask you a question, do you also think this person is handsome?”
Elrose nodded and said slowly, “Handsome… to be fair, he really is quite handsome.”
Hearing this, Luna’s mood instantly dropped: “So you really like this type of guy, huh?”
“How could it be?” Without any hesitation, Elrose directly denied it: “Being handsome is just about looks, but what does that have to do with whether I like him or not? If I had to say I like someone…”
Saying that, Elrose smiled slightly and leaned toward Luna’s ear, half-jokingly and half-seriously saying, “If I had to say I like someone, it would be someone like you, Luna. Soft, sweet, and adorable.”
Luna’s cheeks instantly flushed.
“Ugh, what nonsense are you talking about? I’m not like that at all.” Although Luna sounded proud, inside, she felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey. “By the way, do you know this guy? You looked a bit strange when you saw his photo just now.”
“Ah? You noticed that?” Elrose said, a bit flustered: “But I don’t know him, I just feel like I’ve seen him before.”
“Really.” Luna looked at Elrose with a slightly profound gaze.
She didn’t know whether Elrose was telling the truth or not, and she wasn’t sure if the person who came today was indeed a fox spirit, but regardless, she had already made up her mind—to hold the fort, prevent a home invasion, and absolutely not turn into a defeated dog.
With this thought.
“I oppose it.” Luna slammed the table, firmly stating: “I oppose this person coming to our restaurant.”
“Huh? Why?” Lilith immediately asked in confusion.
“He’s a male, and he’s very handsome.” Luna said, “So, he’s quite eye-catching.”
“What are you saying?” Lilith replied, “Luna, are you out of your mind? What’s wrong with a handsome guy? Did a handsome guy offend you?”
“Yeah.” Luna glared at Lilith, “I just don’t like him, so what?”
What else can be done? Vote. “I support him joining the Nightmoon Tavern. A handsome guy like him shouldn’t be missed.”
Luna turned her small face away: “I oppose.”
Stella glanced around, then stood next to Lilith, raising her small hand: “I, I also support.”
A triumphant smile appeared on Lilith’s face: “Oh, three to one.”
“Tsk.” Luna smacked her lips and looked at Kendrick nearby.
Kendrick, seeing this, stayed silent and slowly turned his gaze to Elrose: “What do you think, Elrose?”
“Uh, me?” Elrose scratched her head, thought for a moment, and although she didn’t know what was going on, she quietly stood next to Luna.
“Two to two then.” Kendrick sighed, slowly standing up, “Alright, ladies, shift some positions and clear out the kitchen, let me test whether this young man is qualified to stay here.”
Cedric: “What about me?”
Kendrick: “Of course, you should get lost quickly.”
Cedric: “Huh? Aren’t you going to let me stay here for a meal?”
Kendrick: “Scram.”
???
Cedric left the Nightmoon Tavern grumbling.
