Elf-like Life

Chapter 97, The Soul-Stealing Eye

So 10 minutes later,

In front of the Wishing Star House.

Unlike before, there were now two incredibly surprised faces standing blankly at the door, their eyes wide open.

Charmander and Pikachu thought no one would come today and were almost ready to give up.

Who would have thought that the first visitor arranged by fate would arrive so suddenly, leaving the little dragon at a loss for what to do.

Pikachu called out anxiously, "Hey, Charmander, what are you daydreaming about?!"

"Our first guest has arrived! He's the first guest ever to visit our cottage!"

Soul-Stealing Eyes: ...

The Wishing Star House in front of us is too simple, even a little dilapidated. It is built entirely on the Megalodon Reef, and the so-called plaque is just a wooden board.

This scale is vastly different from that of the Fat Koding Guild.

This contrasts sharply with the shops in Treasure Town that are quietly renovated and attract many customers.

This made the Soul-Hooking Eyes wonder what exactly this "Star Wish House" was for.

Selling things?

Something like a guild alliance?

Or……

The captivating eyes caught a glimpse of the label on the small wooden sign. Before they could even speak, the enthusiastic Charmander, accompanied by Pikachu, rushed forward to greet them.

Charmander: "Welcome! This is the newly opened Wishing Star House!"

Pikachu happily chimed in:

"Yes, yes, although this little house isn't that pretty yet, please come in first, and we can talk inside."

Let's go inside and talk. What should we talk about?

Touched by the two little ones' enthusiasm, Gossip Eyes thought that since they were already there, they might as well go in and explore the Wishing Star House.

【Wishing Star House - Service Lobby】

The simple hall was almost empty, except for a small square table.

On the square table sat a small box called the Wishing Star Box, and next to it seemed to be a lot of papers for taking notes; in short, it was as simple as it could be.

Following Charmander and Pikachu's instructions, Sableye was seated in the center of the small square table after entering the room.

Then Charmander sat on the left.

Pikachu was assigned to sit on the right, making it look like a two-on-one psychological counseling room.

The next instant, Charmander and Pikachu continued enthusiastically:

"Hello, this is Wishing Star House."

"Please write your wish on this piece of paper as a request, and then put it into the wishing box next to it. We will do our best to help you realize it~"

【!】Soul-Stealing Eyes: !

The Soul-Hooking Eye immediately understood how this place operated; it must be that the two little ones were imitating the quest notice board they saw in the Fat Koding Guild.

But upon closer reflection,

Believe it or not, I do have a long-cherished wish that I haven't been able to fulfill.

stare--

The captivating diamond eye suddenly flashed!

【!】murderous look!

A sudden surge of murderous intent rose in an instant, then vanished just as quickly, followed by the Soul-Hooking Eyes' self-narration:

"Hello, both of you."

"My name is Soul Hook, and I come from the Dark Forest at the foot of the Northern Ridge Snow Mountain."

"I haven't traveled extensively, nor have I seen a particularly wide range of things, but I enjoy everything in this world and have a deep friendship with renowned figures such as Elder Catfish King and Principal Electric Dragon."

Charmander + Pikachu: "Hey hey hey!"

Then, the bewitching-eyed man unloaded the bundle from his small shoulder and, looking travel-worn, continued his tale:

"I just failed to get a job with the Fat Koding Guild, and now my biggest wish is to become a butler."

"So, can this place called 'Wishing Star House' help me make my wish come true?"

Hey hey hey hey hey!

My wish is to become a butler?

Pikachu was so surprised it couldn't say a word, and Charmander quickly regained its composure, shaking its head as well:

No way, no way!

Could there really be a fairy butler sent by heaven?

On our first day of business, we were so lucky to encounter a housekeeper applicant, and she even came to us on her own initiative to apply for the job!

Seeing that Charmander had just shaken his head, he was actually trying to express disbelief, but the sensitive Soul-Stealing Eyes misinterpreted it as rejection.

"Is that so?"

The alluring eyes shoulder their burden once more:

"It seems this isn't the place for me to realize my dreams either..."

Before the words were even finished, the little dragon suddenly jumped up excitedly:

"etc!"

"That's not what I meant! I meant it's wonderful, absolutely incredible! Our Wishing Star House has just opened, and we're exactly short of a housekeeper!"

Pikachu would find it unbelievable:

"I was so focused on the future design and facilities of the cabin, who would have thought we'd have a butler so soon!"

Even the alluring eyes were momentarily stunned.

The little dragon was still happy, so it simply placed a small paw on Sableye's left shoulder confidently:

"This wish is too simple!"

"From this moment forward, on behalf of the Wishing Star House, I officially announce that from tonight onwards you will be our Wishing Star House's butler. Isn't that right, Pikachu?"

Pikachu raises its little paw in approval:

"That's right, we've never seen such an amazing butler before! She absolutely has to become the butler of our Wishing Star House!"

The stark contrast in psychological impact left Gouhunyan momentarily stunned.

Bewitching Eyes:

"..."

“…………”

"Um... so it's that simple, I'm hired?"

Charmander originally thought it would be some high-level commission, but it turned out to be a job offer. The Wishing Star House is currently under construction, so this is an opportunity that must be seized.

Just like the Jigglypuff Guild, its steward is a musical note parrot.

Charmander had been thinking about having a butler for a while, but he didn't know what kind of Pokémon would be suitable for the role. Who knew that such a capable Pokémon would fall from the sky like this.

Sableye unfolded his letter of recommendation as per procedure, which truly surprised Pikachu to the extreme.

Not to mention the recommendation from Principal Electric Dragon, there were also recommendations from Elder Catfish King and Elder Coal Turtle, which shows that this Soul-Snatcher's background is extraordinary.

Judging from this, he must have been a semi-professional explorer who had traveled extensively and read countless books.

Pikachu: "Wow, that's amazing! It really is a message from Principal Ampharos. I never received a message like that when I was in school."

The alluring eyes politely replied, "Not at all. I've heard that there are very few juniors in the school who can study encyclopedic academic degrees."

"Hey, hey, so you're the senior?"

The alluring eyes paused for a moment.

"..."

"No, I only studied under Principal Dianlong for a while in my early years. I did not complete a full degree. I hope this is not something you mind about the butler."

How could that be? With such a capable butler, what else is there to complain about?

Moreover, aside from being a bit aloof when speaking and occasionally a little silent, this captivating eye is otherwise full of kindness and quite easy to get along with.

Charmander chimed in at the end:

"Um, our butler-sama, you seem a little unhappy. Now that your wish has come true, could you give the Wishing Star House a reward smile?"

Soul-Stealing Eyes: ...

Pikachu immediately interrupted Charmander, stating that according to the encyclopedia, Sableye is described as a Pokémon that rarely smiles.

"..."

“…………”

"........."

"Sorry, I didn't know that before." (Charmander)

"No, my smile looks sinister, it's not good-looking."

As soon as he finished speaking, the seductive eyes casually unloaded the burden onto the corner of the small square table.
