Chapter 136: Work
The young girl leaned against the sofa, her slender and delicate limbs laying bare and unbridledly drooping downwards. A revealing pajama— no, a near-transparent night-gown was covering her body.
“Uhm, Miss Store Manager? Do, do you still remember me?” Ke’er tilted her head to the side.
“That goes without saying.” The indolent young girl instantly sat upright on the sofa, her indifferent tone carrying a trace of seriousness.
“Mhm…” She stood up and sized Ke’er up from top to bottom. Her languidness had been wiped clean, while cautiousness and solemnness revealed themselves within her emerald green eyes as if she was appraising a piece of handiwork.
“Mhm.” After a short period of time, the expressionless young store manager nodded.
“Five marks.”
“Eeeh? The five marks you’re referring to are…?”
“The overall appeal based on the compatibility between your apparel and appearance style. Five marks. Ten would be a full mark.” Explained the yellowish-grey haired girl in a cold manner.
“Ah?”
“What you wear barely fits your body type, I suppose. But it doesn’t highlight your cuteness and features.”
“W…W-What do you mean by t-that?”
“Inadequate, it’s vastly inadequate.” The young girl shook her head as she muttered in a soft voice.
“Hey, did you bring the set of clothing prepared for you yesterday?”
“I did…” Ke’er gestured at the small basket she was carrying.
“A small basket… This style… The little matchstick girl? Indeed, if we were to pair your well-developed figure filled with feminineness and frailness together with rag clothing that exposes your skin, it will definitely be a big hit with the customers.” The young girl’s face showed no expression, yet her eyes were seemingly burning with the fire called excitement.
“E-Eeeh?”
“No more talking, put it on.”
“Eeeeh, now?”
“Mhm.” Little stars sparkled within the young girl’s eyes. Her temperament seemed to have changed at this moment, with her indolent image vanishing like smoke into thin air.
“Eh, Miss Store Manager. I t-think this set of clothing is somewhat r-revealing… It won’t be a good influence…” A trace of shyness was present in Ke’er’s sweet and fragile tone.
“How could that possibly be?” The young girl tilted her head to the side.
“Letting such a valuable beast-eared loli with big breasts wear a tasteless, plain, and simple long dress would be no different than wrapping a natural pearl in an old newspaper right from the street. It is nothing more than a reckless waste of natural resources.”
“If I knew the identity of your owner, I’d definitely cause a big commotion and string him up at the store entrance for a round of critique.”
“Uuu! Mr. Ji Bai is very nice…”
“All men are pigs without exception. It’s better for you not to harbor any expectations of them. They are only sanctimonious in their appearance, that’s all. How intelligent could creatures that think through their lower bodies be?” Explained the young girl in a cold tone.
“Listen. Since you’ve come to my place to work, you have to show our guests your best side. The best-case scenario would be to leave a deep impression on them; What is that, you ask? And what can you do to accomplish that? Use your cuteness and characteristics! No matter if it’s fake or natural, it all works. After all, all men fall for this trick. No matter if it is a green tea b*tch1 or a pretty and flirtatious b*tch2, each of them is popular in their own way when it comes to men, got it?”
“Gu-nya?…”
“Now that I’ve put it this way, you should get the gist of it now, right? You have to bring your charm and cuteness to good use, just like how Blue-chan had put her innate qualities on display earlier. Her image is that of a typical young girl that’s witty, adorable, lively and energetic. This has made her a big hit among hotblooded youngsters~ What about you? Have you thought about what makes you special or adorable? Or, maybe something you’re good at?”
“K-Ke’er thinks she doesn’t-…”
“Yes, this! This delicate expression that makes people want to pamper you, as well as the bashfulness of a small animal! These are your greatest selling points! When paired with those cat ears of yours, it’s like a match made in heaven!” The young girl took a step closer to Ke’er and looked at her with a scorching gaze.
“I, I…”
“Let’s go with yesterday’s agreement. I won’t deprive you a penny when it comes to wages! You can start work today. Later, when the shop opens and you’re receiving customers, bring out the bashful energy from earlier. No matter if it’s a feint or your natural qualities at work.”
“Do I really have to act like this?”
“Mhm.” The young girl’s uncaring gaze was filled with unwavering determination.
“Uuu…T-Then, I’ll go out and change…”
“Just change here.”
“Gu-nya!?”
“Do it.”
“Alright…”
“Miss S-Store Manager, can you turn your gaze away, I’m a bit embarrassed…”
“We’re both girls. What’s there to be embarrassed about?” The girl expressed her standpoint in an extremely steadfast manner.
“Uuu…” Ke’er was blushing all the way to the ears. Silently telling herself to ignore the gaze of the person behind her, she summoned up the courage and undid her buttons.
*Rustling…*
“I’m done changing…”
Ke’er covered the hem of her skirt, which was short enough that a wind breeze would expose everything underneath, before bashfully standing still with her legs closed.
Thin, white silk stockings faintly revealed fair lustrous skin, while the absolute territory between her short skirt and stockings was enticing beyond comparison.
Her cheeks rosy, the shy girl desperately tried to keep her skirt hems from moving. When paired with her slightly trembling cat ears, it was a scene like no other. Stirring up people’s tender affection, while at the same time, injecting them with a heavy dose of cuteness deep into their hearts.
“Mhm!” The young girl nodded with vigour. Yawning, she walked towards Ke’er, slightly tidying up both her crooked headband and loosely-fastened short skirt. As her hand brushed past Ke’er’s chest, she even took her time to cop a feel.
“Gu-nyaa!…” The sensitive Ke’er felt chills creeping all over her body.
“Very impressive~” A trace of a crafty smile appeared on the young girl’s face that hadn’t shown any emotions until now.
“Alright, go down and try to get a feel of things. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Blue-chan or the other girls.” Saying which, the young girl hopped on the sofa, dragging her long hair that cascaded down to her legs along like a tail.
“Mhm…” Ke’er nodded her small head bashfully.
She knew that this job gave off quite the weird impression and even looked somewhat shameless in her eyes. However, after comprehensively looking at all the other ordinary jobs, such as that of being a dishwasher, she realized that the remuneration for all that hard work was fairly limited and was not even a tenth of what this job offered.
She didn’t like keeping secrets from Ji Bai, yet with their apartment on the verge of running out of food, Ke’er had no choice but to choose this job out of helplessness.
“That reminds me. If those ‘Masters’ try to cross the red line, you don’t need to be polite – Just give them one on the noggin.”
“Ehhh?” Ke’er gave the young girl recuperating on the sofa an astonished look.
“Do you understand?”
“Y-Yes.”
“Mhm. Remember to address every customer as Master~ I’ll let Blue-chan guide you through the detailed process~ A maid cafe isn’t some casual roadside coffee shop.”
“Yes…”
“Click.” The sound of a door closing resounded and a gust of wind blew off the headband on the girl’s head, exposing a pair of lovely fox ears.
…………
“Eeehh? Ke’er-chan? Sniff, sniff~ Wow! This outfit suits you to a T~” Blue excitedly drew close to Ke’er’s side while her nose was incessantly sniffing the aroma on her body.
“Uhm…I-Is that so?” Ke’er bashfully adjusted her dress. Blue’s extreme friendliness made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, causing her to blush and remain silent for a while.
“Are you going to work here from now on, Ke’er-chan?”
“M-Mhm… I guess so.”
“Pero, pero, pero3~ That’s great~! In that case, I’m going to be Ke’er-chan’s senpai from now on!”
“E-,Uhm…P-Please guide me from now on.”

- Green Tea B*tch is an internet slang. According to whatsonweibo: “The green tea bitch appears to be very innocent. She normally has shiny long hair, but if it is not long, it is neat, straight, and parted in the middle. She has good looks, but is not exceptionally beautiful. She uses her eyes as her magic weapon to look at men with big bright eyes. She is especially energetic around her male friends, but somewhat dull around her girlfriends, complaining about how slim they look and how fat she is (although she is not). She hardly eats and gets drunk without hardly a sip of alcohol. She is overly dramatic during the night, when she complains about how hard and lonely her life is. She likes to take long walks and talk about the books she reads and the movies she sees. She loves Chinese art, literature and politics. Despite her intelligence, she will repeat how dumb she is. The GTB appears angelically innocent, harmless and pure, while she is anything but that: she is ambitious and would sell her soul for money.” You can read more here.
- Refers to the vulgar and uninteresting female actor antagonists. It comes from a video from a video creator Amogood. You can watch the video here.
- Japanese sfx for licking. The previous sentence, ‘sniff sniff’ was originally ‘pero pero’ as well, but I changed it to sniff, because it’s more relevant to the topic at hand.
Bai Ji better come in and explode the building
