The dragon girl's delicate voice rang in Qingye's ears.
Aoba patted Lucoa on the shoulder with amusement, then sighed softly in resignation.
Even though she's so bad at it that she can't even hold her hands up, she still loves to play.
Seeing that Lucoa had gone up to the mountain peak seven or eight times that night, Aoba stopped bullying the dragon girl.
He took a new apron from the bar and draped it over Lucoa.
"Get some rest."
It's getting late.
I don't think any guests will come tonight.
After a quick tidy-up of the kitchen and front of the restaurant, we can wait to close.
"Thor, you don't need to clean anymore."
After tidying up the kitchen a bit, Aoba came to the front hall and called out to Tohru, who was still cleaning.
He found that the places Thor cleaned were exceptionally clean!
I never expected this dragon girl to be such a skilled housekeeper.
Aoba was somewhat surprised.
"Eh~?"
Upon hearing Aoba's call, Thor stopped and quickly walked to the bar:
"Is there anything else I can help you with, store manager?"
Thor rolled up his sleeves to show how capable he was.
"No need, Thor has already helped a lot."
Aoba praised the girl with satisfaction.
"You don't need to clean so thoroughly every day. Remember to rest when you're tired, and don't push yourself too hard."
"You won't get tired, manager!"
Thor wagged his tail and tilted his head back, humming:
"I am a dragon!"
"Hmm, but dragons get tired too, right? Thor can rest whenever he's tired in the future."
Aoba smiled and patted the dragon girl's head.
do not know why.
From Kanna to Lucoa, and then to Thor
He discovered that the dragon girl's head really felt great to the touch.
"..."
Thor stared blankly at Aoba for a moment before falling silent.
A bright smile immediately bloomed on his face.
"I understand, thank you, manager!"
The dragon girl, who has never been cared for before, seems at a loss when faced with sudden attention.
They can only express their emotions with a smile.
"Just come over at seven o'clock every evening from now on."
Qingye smiled and introduced the shop's opening hours and main business to Longniang.
Thor also carefully memorized all of these things.
The dragon girl, who was invited by Lucoa to taste the food, was completely unaware that she had been betrayed by a certain despicable feathered serpent god.
As for salary...
When it came to the final discussion about salary, Aoba was a little stumped.
He really didn't know how to pay the shop assistant's salary to the Dragon Girl.
After all, yen doesn't seem to be of much use to Tohru.
"As for compensation, the manager can decide what to give, or could you cook a few dishes for me and Kanna for free every day?"
Thor gripped the broom tightly, nervously scratching his slightly embarrassed cheek.
"Huh!? Thor's salary is that simple?"
"After all, I'm not short of money, and besides, the store manager needs a lot of money to open the store."
Thor's tail swayed, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.
"If the store manager is short of money, I have a lot of treasures that I can take out and use anytime!"
As the daughter of the Emperor of the End, Thor is a true second-generation heir.
There's no shortage of treasures.
Qingye chuckled as he looked at the dragon girl in front of him, who seemed to be a wealthy and powerful woman.
"That's no need."
"But if Thor ever wants to buy anything in this world, he can always tell me."
"I will keep my salary in the store."
This was the only method Aoba could think of.
What if the Dragon Girl doesn't want to leave this world after staying there for a while?
We'll save it according to our regular salary.
This also makes it easier for Thor and Kanna to buy things.
"Yes, yes, whatever the store manager decides is fine."
Thor chuckled as he put the broom back in its place, looking at Kanna who had already fallen asleep.
She carefully walked to the little girl's side and picked up Kanna.
"Fafner, we're leaving."
Lucoa recovered and greeted Fafnir, who had a gloomy expression.
It's getting late.
Thor cannot disappear from that world for too long, or the Emperor of the End will get anxious.
"Ah."
"Be careful."
Aoba escorted the four of them to the shop entrance.
After Lucoa and the other two left, Fafnir, with a gloomy expression, turned to look at Aoba, as if he wanted to say something.
"Mr. Fafnir, is there anything else?"
"Your cooking... is delicious."
Fafnir turned his head away, avoiding looking into Aoba's eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he pulled out a fist-sized gold nugget from somewhere and handed it over.
Consider this a reward for pleasing the dragon.
"this.."
Aoba looked at the fist-sized gold nugget in front of her with some surprise and did not take it immediately.
"Humans, do not be greedy!"
Seeing this, Fafnir assumed that Aoba wanted to ask for more.
"I'm sorry, but this thing is too valuable."
Aoba shook his head helplessly and explained:
"If it's just for food, it wouldn't cost this much."
"Is that too much?"
Fafnir was momentarily embarrassed.
He thought Aoba was complaining that he hadn't given enough.
However, this was already the smallest gold nugget in his treasure trove, especially considering he was a good friend of Lucoa and Thor.
He couldn't possibly freeload like the two of them.
Consider it a reward for the future.
The words fell.
With a slight movement of his finger, he placed the gold nugget on the bar counter inside the store.
Without giving Aoba time to refuse, they immediately set off to leave.
Back inside the shop, Aoba looked at the huge gold nugget displayed on the bar and could only sigh helplessly.
Such a large gold nugget would be very difficult to convert into money.
Are all dragons this wealthy and powerful?
Aoba could only place the gold nuggets on the second floor.
I'll ask Erina or Asuna when I have time.
After all, she's the eldest daughter of a prominent family; she must have connections when it comes to exchanging gold.
Ding--
As the 7 a.m. bell rang inside the izakaya.
Aoba's hard work that evening finally gave him a break.
