Shimoyuki: Yay! With many more ideas popping in my head, here's chapter two! Thank you to everyone who reviewed!


This is my first job that I got accepted to. Sadly, I ended up as a waitress in this bakery and café place. Actually, I applied to take the job as a chef, but they needed a lot more experience in it I guess. Today is the first day of work and I'm ready to go. Thankfully with my friend, Nina, who is working in the bakery, is going to be with me during breaks. It was about 5am in the morning and my job was about to start at seven and end until three in the afternoon.

I got out of bed, ate, and changed into my uniform. The uniform wasn't too daring or anything, which was good for me. It was very simple, but it looked quite pretty on me. Once I wore my uniform, I looked at the mirror and saw how simple it was so I decided to add a few items that I had in my acolyte uniform and added in there. Thankfully the items I added in my acolyte uniform were easy to remove. As I added these small accessories, it made the uniform somewhat pretty.

I got out of my house once I finish accessorizing it. It was time for me to go to work. I was glad that the place which I was suppose to work was very close by in Prontera, so I decided to walk in there. I thought, "Hm…should I increase my movement speed or not…if I do, I may run out of energy once I start working.." She decided to walk really slow especially that she had so much time left.

Ten minutes later I arrived at the café. I always loved the feeling in the café because it gave me this comfortable feeling. Next to the café was the bakery. By the looks of it, the bakery was already opened and people were inside. I walked towards the café and I notice something strange. The door to the café was open. I thought that the door of the café wasn't usually open and that the employee had to get the key. But I soon remembered that they didn't give me the key, they only gave me the uniform.

By the time the café opened, customers started coming slowly. I had to remember which tables I was suppose to serve, but what I noticed was that the tables I had to serve were probably the best place for customers. A customer came in, around his forties and sat down on the table far away from the ones I was supposed to serve. As the waiter who was suppose to serve that area served him, I soon noticed I forgot one thing; my name plate. I looked through the one pocket in my uniform and found it. I put it where the name plate should be and waited.

As hours went by, I started getting use to the serving a bit, and I was happy that nobody was getting mad at me for anything I did. I looked at the clock that was nearest to me and it said, "11:30pm". It was time for me to take my break. Before I was about to take my break, I noticed another person sat in my area. I really thought I was going to be free, but sadly I wasn't. It was a teenager sitting down with a book in his hand.

I thought it was a mage waiting for his mentor, but I really thought it was unusual to meet their mentor at this time. So I asked him, "Mister, do you want anything?"

The teenage boy looked at me and said, "Well since you're a new employee I'm assuming, I would like one hot chocolate and one glass of water please."

I wrote it down and gave it to my friend who I just met today, Sherlock. He was quite an awkward person. He was about the same age as me I assumed and I thought he was quite a joker. But when it came to work, he had this gift of multitasking. Honestly, I saw him working on three different orders at the same time and I'm surprised he was able to tell which one was which one.

As minutes went by, Sherlock was done doing all of the orders from my area that I requested him to do and I gave all the customers what they needed. At last was the teenager, who I wasn't able to see his face because of the book he was reading. As I waited for the other customers to request something, I was very tempted to remove that book out of him. But I knew that he was a regular customer, especially that he was able to figure out that I was a new customer without looking at my face.

While I waited, the other customers finished and left and I cleaned the tables. However, that teenager kept staying there reading the same book. I decided to ask Sherlock who was waiting for the orders, "Hey Lock, who is that guy over there with a book?"

Sherlock, or Lock as I called him, replied, "Him? You don't know him? I'm very surprised you don't! Everybody who works in here knows him!"

I questioned, "But I'm new. But why should I know him?"

Lock said, "Because he's your boss, or the owner's son of this bakery/café."

Once I heard that, I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. I asked, "He is?"

Lock nodded and said, "Looks like boss has a request for you." I turned towards him and walked towards the boss. I asked, "What is it that you want?"

The teenager put down the book and I saw his face. It was quite unexpected. With his body it didn't seem right and I thought he would look a lot different. There was a few seconds of pause and he said, "Sit down here Mika."

I was really surprised that he knew my name, but I didn't care how he knew it. I decided to follow his orders. The teenager greeted, "Welcome. I'm Felix, the owner's son of this bakery/café."

----------

Ever since that time, I've always wondered how he became the owner of the bakery/café. But while I was working there, I started getting to know him a bit during my shift, but at the same time I started memorizing the order that he wanted…one cup of hot chocolate and one glass of water. At times I've always wondered why he orders a glass of water…

Eventually I quit that job because I had to become a champion soon so I had to train a lot more. Felix didn't react to it when I quitted so I wasn't able to see him in a long time, especially that I decided to train outside of Prontera. But once I quit, the first month I started thinking of him. It took me a while to figure out that I loved him ever since. But my friend, Nina, wanted to help me, but in the end I gave up on it…

Until now.

It was in a gloomy afternoon and I was staring at the window for no reason whatsoever. The raindrops were pouring really hard and I stood there looking at people passing by, from couples carrying an umbrella to a child who was playing with the puddles. I thought it was quite strange for Prontera to rain really hard, but surprisingly it did. As minutes went by, I started hearing my telephone ring. Thanks to that ring, it kept me more alert after staring at the window.

I quickly got up and walked towards the telephone near the kitchen. I got it and greeted, "Hello."

The person on the other line said, "Oh! Felix, I need your help!"

I recognized the voice easily and asked, "What is it Mika?" In a way I felt happy to do some request for Mika because her requests weren't too complicated, they were always straightforward and simple.

Mika replied, "I'm going to bring my pets with me and can you train them a bit while I go train for a week? I'll be gone, so even if you need me, I'll give you the book that will try to help your problems as much as you can."

I thought, "No way…I have to take care of pets? I have no knowledge of them whatsoever! I hope she's only bringing two or three of them…"

I told Mika, "Oh okay. I can do that."

Mika replied with much excitement, "Thank you so much Felix! Thank you! If you take good care of them, I'll pay you back once I come back! I'll be there in a few minutes."

Mika already hung up the phone and so did I. I really needed something to keep me occupied lately. As moments went by really quick, the bell rang. I opened the door and saw Mika…with a bunch of eggs. I started getting a bit worried after what I just told her.

I moved a few steps back so she could enter. Mika entered carrying a cart full of eggs. She put three pet incubators on the floor and put the three eggs inside there. I wasn't sure which one is which because I didn't have any experience with pets and such especially that I was a mage at that time. After Mika put the three eggs in the pet incubators, they magically turned into monsters that were familiar to me.

The first one on the left side was a deviruchi. When I saw that one, I had a scary look that made Mika laugh so hard. I was so scared of its pitchfork. It always made sense as to why it was called a deviruchi. It looked like a devil. The dark purple creature started laughing like an evil villain. Mika laughed so hard and stopped temporarily. She said, "Don't worry about Paco. Paco isn't that evil as some deviruchis. As long as you feed Paco with the right food then you'll be good to go. Oh and Paco is a very mellow deviruchi."

I mumbled, "Paco. Who in the world names that devil Paco?"

Mika asked me, "What did you say Felix?"

I replied quickly, "Oh! I was going to ask you what the next pet was."

Mika nodded and continued, "Ah…the next one is Julius." I looked at the next one, which was a bogun. I considered boguns very interesting monsters because they keep jumping up and down and I've always wondered what would happen if they didn't jump…

Mika said, "Julius is usually a sleepy pet. So it's usually sleeping while jumping. So don't mind it if it starts jumping unless it jumps a lot, then give it some food." I nodded and looked at the last monster.

I never would expect Mika to have a yoyo. They seemed too cute for her. With the first two monsters it looked like she wanted to scare the heck out of me. The yoyo sat down on the floor waiting. The yoyo always reminds me of a monkey except smaller and it was purple.

Mika continued, "That yoyo is Monty. He likes to have fun. Well I must leave right now." Mika left and I was stuck with these creatures.

----------

Whenever I think of that moment, I always laugh at that moment. If I rejected that idea, I would have never known her personality better. These animals showed me what kind of a person she was. When she came back, she gave me one of the eggs in the cart. It was a poporing egg. She explained that she liked poporings because it reminds her of green jello. And I remembered that whenever she was on break, she would always eat jello for some odd reason…. But as the saying goes, "Don't judge a book by its cover." I eventually learned that as soon as I met Mika.

Shimoyuki: This chapter is optional to skip, but I would recommend just reading it so you know what type of a 'relationship' they had. Chapters three and four (maybe five, not sure) are quite good, especially that the ideas of it all came from my dream. Thanks for reading and please review!
