Chapter 917 I Wanted To Invite You To Attend The Parent-Teacher Meeting
A giant falcon landed quietly on a mountain five kilometers away from Chaos City.
Two figures got off the bird and looked in the direction of the city.
“Lord Elliot, if other great houses found out about you coming here, they might have questions,” a middle-aged elf said, worried.
“What’s important now is getting Sally back,” Elliot said gravely. “I’m afraid no one but me can do that. We need to make her the new elven princess if we want to survive the turbulent situation.”
The middle-aged elf looked at Elliot like he wanted to say something, but he didn’t.
“Wait for me here. I’ll bring her back by sunset tomorrow. Stay out of trouble.” With that, Elliot headed fast towards Chaos City.
Mamy Restaurant was barely able to handle the increased workload.
The limbs of the waitresses grew heavier by the second even with the help of magic.
“You could use several more waitresses, Mag,” Harrison said to Mag cooking in the kitchen when he paid his check. “Look at them, this is no way to treat girls.”
“Yeah, and I could use several more cooks too,” Mag said, and flicked the wok with a quick sleight of hand, making the colorful fried rice fly gracefully in the air. If he hadn’t leveled up by two levels the other day, he wouldn’t have been able to handle the heavy workload, either.
Harrison stuck his head into the kitchen and took a look. “No way! You’re cooking for 400 people by yourself?! I’m speechless! How can you do this to yourself?”
Mag rubbed his sore wrists when the breakfast hours were over, and looked at the girls who had collapsed on the chairs to rest. My conscience will be troubled if I don’t give them a raise.
When Mag was thinking about how much their salaries should be raised, a towel which had been soaked in hot water appeared before him. “Here,” said Firis.
Mag took the towel in his hand, surprised. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.” With that, Firis walked out of the kitchen as hurriedly as if she were fleeing from a crime scene, and handed out the towels to the other girls.
“Such a kind-hearted girl.” Mag put the towel on his face. The heat drove his fatigue away. He felt so comfortable that he wanted to close his eyes and sleep.
They all looked at Firis with grat.i.tude in their eyes.
“I’m going back to the dormitory. I’ll catch you guys later,” Yabemiya said after they carried all the dishes into the kitchen. She then picked up her sweet tofu pudding and started to leave.
“Hold on a sec, Miya,” said Mag. “I cooked one more plate of fried rice by accident, why don’t you take it with you?” He handed a box to her.
Miya was so touched that she bowed to Mag. “Thanks, Boss.”
“Go on. Go back and get some sleep,” Mag said, and touched her head. “Set an alarm. Don’t be late for work.”
Miya nodded. “Got it.” She then left quickly.
Sally and Babla still looked tired. “Get some rest,” Mag said to them. “Harrison was right. This is no way to treat girls. Maybe I need to hire several more capable waitresses.”
“You won’t be able to find anyone as good as us,” Babla said coolly.
“You’re truly very competent, all of you.” There was no way he could use beef kebabs to trick another 7th-tier spatial magic caster into working for him.
But still, he had to try.
To make matters worse, the Brewsters might come any day and take Sally away. Given what was happening in the Wind Forest, he couldn’t force her to stay.
They are probably on their way here if they’re not stupid, and it doesn’t take a detective to know she is working here.
Sally’s leaving would put the restaurant in a difficult situation. He needed to find a solution, and quickly.
7th-tier water-type magic casters were not that hard to find in Chaos City, but they were either working for the Gray Temple or in mercenary groups. It would be a tad difficult to poach them.
Another solution was to find a low-level water-type magic caster good enough to clean the restaurant, a cas.h.i.+er good at math, and two reasonably quick and efficient waitresses to serve customers.
Is Sally doing four people’s jobs? I guess I’m really an exploiter. He didn’t like the idea of a lot of employees working in the restaurant, but it seemed there was no other option.
Guess I have to talk to that Crease again. Hopefully he’ll find several capable ones for me, Mag thought to himself.
“Oh, Firis, go to the market and buy some beef, and then use it to hone your grilling skills.” Mag walked to the counter, took out several gold coins, and gave them to Firis.
“I…” Firis started reluctantly, but then she nodded and left.
Sally and Babla left as well after they had finished cleaning up the restaurant. They hadn’t gotten accustomed to the considerable amount of work; they needed some rest.
Mag changed into his casual clothes and planned to go to the Find All Job-finding Service, but when he opened the door, he found Luna standing outside about to knock.
“Hi, Teacher Luna, what brings you here?” Mag asked, surprised.
Luna pulled back her hand. “Hi, Mag. I wanted to invite you to attend the parent-teacher meeting.”
