Elf-like Life

Chapter 96, The Butler

Soul-Stealing Eyes was utterly speechless.

……

…………

………………

Putting aside the note parrot in front of me that is constantly going berserk, since they have already posted recruitment information, such a large guild must not be abusive.

In fact,

Even more bewildered than the bewitching eyes is the musical note parrot.

He had no idea there were job postings outside today, and was wandering around the guild as usual, putting on airs more and more.

However, the situation was only resolved when Roaring Bomb and Gopher arrived in the lobby with a job posting.

"Don't be angry, Master Steward, he really did come to apply for the job," the mole explained, sweating profusely.

"That's right, that's right."

"I also brought back the recruitment flyers; they were handwritten by the president himself!"

The musical note parrot stood frozen in astonishment, unable to believe what the roaring bomb had just said.

"Varied!"

"Written by the president himself!!"

"Waaaaah, President, President-sama, do you not want me anymore? It must be because I, the butler, have been fired, so you want to hire a new one, waaaaah—"

Even the Soul-Stealing Eyes couldn't bear to watch any longer; why was the musical note parrot in front of them crying?

So, should we hire a housekeeper or not?

After cleaning, the sunflower monster put the bucket aside and interjected:

"Master Steward, please calm down."

"I saw the job posting was quite detailed; it seems the president wants to hire a deputy manager to assist you. Would you like to take another look?"

Upon hearing this, a huge exclamation mark instantly appeared above the note parrot's head!

"ha?"

"Impossible! I am the president's only butler! The president would never do such a thing!!!"

The musical note parrot, who absolutely refused to believe it, only needs to take another look at the job posting now.

Roar Bomb has already presented the notice to the Note Parrot, and the chairman's handwriting on it is very clear.

————Job Posting————

The Fat Kodin Guild is now sincerely recruiting across the entire Treasure Continent for the position of Guild Vice General Manager.

1. To ensure fairness, existing veteran members of the guild are not eligible to participate in the election.

2. There are no restrictions on the applicant's birth, region, or educational background.

3. Anyone with the ability is welcome to apply. Those who pass the subsequent assessment will be hired.

(Small print supplement): Due to the recent heavy workload of our guild's main manager, the Note Parrot, he has been unwell and even coughed up blood. We hope that the future deputy manager can share his heavy workload.

Please pay more attention to his health when necessary.

As I read,

The musical note parrot shed tears once again:

"Waaaaah, President-sama, so that's how it is..."

The guild elders all gathered in a circle, watching the note parrot mess up and shedding tears. Of course, many adventure team sprites who wanted to join in the fun also gathered together to watch.

The musical note parrot suddenly realized that something was wrong, and if things continued like this, it would really lose face.

The musical note parrot immediately did a 360-degree attitude change:

"What are you all looking at!"

"What are you all watching? Let's go, let's go!!"

Anyone who dared to provoke the Grand Steward was immediately dismissed, and many of the little elves scattered one by one, leaving only Soul-Eye waiting in place for review.

Immediately afterwards, the musical note parrot folded its wings behind its back and instantly adopted a serious and aloof demeanor:

"Then let me ask you, what's the bundle you're carrying on your back for?"

Soul-Stealing Eyes: "Reporting to the Steward, inside are some bedding and local specialties."

(He even brought local specialties; this guy's pretty good at getting things done!)

"Then tell me, where did you come from?"

The alluring eyes paused for a second. Wasn't it agreed that applicants' backgrounds didn't matter?

However, as a future superior, it is best to report your information honestly when necessary.

"I come from the countryside, the Dark Forest of the Northern Continent. This is my first time working in the city, and I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to apply for a position at your guild."

(Wow, that's impressive. It's rare to see someone from the countryside with such a sweet tongue.)

"Finally, I'll ask you one last question: do you have any letters of recommendation?"

This sentence was conceived on the spur of the moment by the cunning musical note parrot, with the aim of quickly ending the review and declaring the applicant unqualified in an unconventional manner.

Little did they know that the Soul-Stealing Eye had come prepared.

Diamond's eyes flickered slightly for a moment.

Soul-Hooking Eyes pulled out an exquisite letter of recommendation from a bundle he was carrying on his back. It contained recommendations and best wishes from the elders of Treasure Town.

【!!!】The musical note parrot was stunned!!!

The alluring eyes slowly said:

"Principal Dianlong,"

"Elder Catfish King,"

"Elder Coal Turtle and the others know me. I also studied in Treasure Town for a long time. I hope you can approve these recommendations."

Now that things have come to this, it seems that the unexpected applicant from the countryside is practically guaranteed the position of deputy general manager.

Sableye has letters of recommendation, is very capable, and so far, he is the only elf to have applied for the job.

The guild elders unanimously agreed.

Groundhog: "I think Mr. Sly-Eyes would be a good fit, so that Manager Sam can have one less thing to worry about."

The booming bomb shouted, "I agree!"

Sunflower Monster: "Speaking of which, Soul-Snatching Eyes has very strong connections; the elders' recommendation letters are no joke."

Finally, there were Bucktooth and Chime-Chime. The two little ones glanced at each other and had no objections. In short, everyone felt that this bewitching-eyed creature was an excellent candidate for deputy butler.

"cough!"

The discussion stopped abruptly when the Grand Steward's Note Parrot coughed.

"What are you all chattering about? I haven't even given my opinion yet!"

Everyone knew perfectly well that the musical note parrot would never tolerate a second butler; given his personality, he only allowed the butler to hold absolute power in his own hands.

"Great, there are no problems."

"You can leave now. Your application was rejected. It's that simple. We welcome you to apply to our Fat Ke Ding Guild."

The decision was final and there was no suspense.

The alluring eyes, sensing the situation, picked up the punchline again:

"Thank you, see you soon."

The guild elders present all fell silent. On this matter, whatever the note parrot said was law, and the deputy manager was not allowed to discuss the matter any further.

"What are you all still standing there for?"

"Meeting adjourned!"

【Twilight - Treasure Town Coastline】

The beautiful sunset turned the beach golden, and a small string of captivating footprints had not yet faded.

A captivating eye,

A small bundle carried on a carrying pole,

And a small string of footprints was the last sight seen near Treasure Town Beach this afternoon.

With a hint of regret, he gazed at the beautiful sunset and prepared to head north, but before that, he wanted to take a few more peeks at the beautiful beach.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, whoosh—

Swish swish swish swish swish, swish swish—

The sound of waves and sea breeze mingled together, drowning out the voice of the seductive eyes.

"Sigh, I guess I'm just not suited for this place after all. Oh well."

"Speaking of this place, it really is..."

In the very last moment, he glanced up and saw the little house atop the Megalodon reef.

In the distance, a small wooden sign that reads "Wishing Star House" hangs.

stare--

The captivating diamond eyes flickered again:

"Star wish... house?"

"I've never seen this before, is it a newly opened shop?"

The Soul-Stealing Eyes successfully discovered the two little ones' Wishing Well. To be continued tomorrow! Finally, a huge thank you to all the readers! I'm also asking for your votes, rewards, favorites, and investments. That's all for this chapter!
