Chapter 18: Don’t bother me, crawl away!
Nightmoon Tavern is located on the outskirts of Karashock Town.
Although the dishes are delicious, its business was not good in the early years due to its remote location.
Until many years ago, the owner’s three daughters walked into Nightmoon Tavern and became the restaurant’s charming waitresses.
The lively Lilith, as the chef’s assistant, stood in a visible area for guests, showcasing her “superior” culinary skills.
The cunning Luna sat at the cash register, casually chatting with guests who came to pay, leaving them with a great impression.
The petite Stella, dressed in a maid outfit, moved back and forth between the kitchen and dining tables, bringing delicious food and sweet smiles to the guests.
Business at Nightmoon Tavern skyrocketed, and it soon became the most popular restaurant in Karashock.
And tonight, after many years, Nightmoon Tavern welcomed its fourth charming waitress.
“Hey, have you heard? Nightmoon Tavern has a new girl, super cute.”
“Another one? Isn’t this the fourth?”
“Should we go check her out?”
“Do we even have to ask? Let’s go!”
…
“Welcome to Nightmoon Tavern.”
The girl had long silver hair with sideburns, styled into little braided pigtails.
She wore a delicate blue and white maid outfit, accessorized with a maid’s hairpin, and donned a pair of off-white stockings.
Elrose and Stella worked together seamlessly, attending to guests as they were seated, took orders, and served dishes.
Most of the customers in the Adventurer’s Guild were male, and now, whether they were already seated in the restaurant or waiting in line outside, they couldn’t help but fix their gazes on the cute girl.
“Ah, silver hair and red eyes, my buddy said he’s in love.”
“Too bad she looks a bit too aloof; if only she smiled more like Stella.”
“Huh? Isn’t that better, being cold?”
“Yeah, it would be even better if she could step on me with her bare feet and call me a pig.”
“Uh, you’re a bit of a masochist, aren’t you?”
“You don’t get it; lolis are justice, okay?”
…
A moment later.
“Luna, I’m heading to the restroom; I’ll be back soon.”
“Oh, Little Belle, you don’t need to tell me, just go.”
“I’m afraid you won’t see me and will dock my pay.”
“Haha, I won’t! I’m not a greedy capitalist; I wouldn’t do something so unscrupulous.”
“Yet I can’t help but feel like you are…”
…
In the restroom, Elrose shivered as warmth washed over her.
After gently wiping herself with a tissue, she pulled up her panties and stood up.
Ugh, girls’ restroom habits are so troublesome.
Boys have it easy.
They can just stand and go, then pull up their pants and leave.
Sigh, it’s the nth day without my buddy, and I miss him.
Elrose walked to the mirror, looking at herself in the maid outfit, sighed softly.
Is this what it’s like to be re-employed after being laid off?
From the unrivaled Demon King to a serving maid for guests.
This disparity is honestly a bit hard for me to accept right now.
However, there’s one thing I must affirm.
Elrose cupped her face, revealing a shallow smile.
I’m really beautiful.
Goodness, how am I this good-looking?
Especially in this exquisite maid outfit.
Wow, who can resist that?
Elrose extended two fingers, lightly tapping her dimples, and pouted.
“Muah, |(￣3￣)|”
Cough, cough.
That’s enough, that’s enough.
Although my exterior has turned into a beautiful girl, my heart is still that of a tough guy, still the terrifying Demon King.
Being cute isn’t really my thing.
What I should do is…
“Ah!”
Elrose exclaimed, then bared her teeth and struck a fierce pose.
“I am the Shadow Demon King, Gideon.”
“Ants, tremble before me!!!”
Uh…
That’s not intimidating at all!
In fact…
It’s quite adorable.
Love it, love it.
Forget it, time to go to work.
Wait, before I leave…
Elrose looked at herself in the mirror, hesitated for a moment, then tilted her head and revealed a sweet smile.
=￣ω￣=
Ah, I’m really beautiful.
…
“Take the order.”
As soon as Elrose walked into the dining area, a handsome young man looked at her and called out loudly.
“Coming!” Elrose didn’t think much and ran over to the table with paper and pen, expressionless, asking, “What would you like?”
“Two servings of Slanton Roast and two glasses of whiskey.”
“Slanton Roast and whiskey, right? Anything else?”
“Yes.” The young man smiled elegantly, “I also need a beauty to share dinner with me.”
His voice wasn’t particularly loud, but as he said this, the atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to hush instantly.
“Hey, isn’t that Bardel?”
“Bardel? Who?”
“You don’t know him? He’s the one who calls himself ‘Little White Dragon,’ the lord’s youngest son.”
“Oh, it’s him. I heard he climbed up to B rank in just a year, thanks to his father’s status and his connections with the Adventurer’s Guild.”
“Not only that, don’t let his cultured appearance fool you; he’s actually a brute.”
“Really? Are you serious?”
“Why would I lie to you? Ever since he arrived in Karashock, he’s been flaunting his looks and wealth, wasting numerous good girls.”
“Ah, so now he…”
“Probably feels very unfulfilled; alas, another good girl is likely about to be ruined.”
…
A faint smile graced Bardel’s face.
Today his little brother rushed over, saying a stunning beauty arrived at Nightmoon Tavern.
To be honest, he’d just enjoyed a night of fun, felt a bit drained today, and had no interest at all.
But his little brother insisted on bringing him to see for himself.
Goodness, just one glance and he was ready again.
He felt alive once more.
Where did this beauty come from?
She’s stunning.
Though she hasn’t fully blossomed yet, just imagining it makes one think how beautiful she will be in the future.
Sure, it’s somewhat cruel to pick a flower before it has fully bloomed.
But he likes cruel.
Bardel licked his lips, and various enticing images floated in his mind.
“Ah, master, don’t.”
“Brother, I love you.”
“Sir! Sir!! Sir!!!”
…
Bardel tugged at his collar, revealing a beautifully crafted crystal necklace around his neck. He slightly rolled up his sleeves, showing off the golden bracelet beneath.
With a faint smile, Bardel elegantly extended his hand to Elrose and said, “Little Belle, would you be willing to have dinner with me?”
At this moment, Bardel was filled with confidence.
Just look at my handsome face, my exquisite noble aura, and this wealth!
No woman can resist the charm of “Little White Dragon.”
Hahaha!!!
Yet, the next moment.
“Smack!”
Without thinking, Elrose slapped Bardel’s face, the loud sound of the slap echoing throughout the restaurant.
Elrose looked at Bardel with a disdainful gaze, waving her hand and voicing her utter disgust.
“Dog man, don’t touch me.”
