Chapter 619 - I… I Wasn’t Thinking About Strange Stuff!
Amy seemed to have sensed Babla’s confusion, and explained, “Big Sister Miya will be able to transform into a giant dragon in the future. When that time comes, she’ll be able to fly and carry us into the sky.”
“That’s awesome! I’ve never seen a giant dragon before.” Babla’s eyes lit up as she turned to Yabemiya with an expectant gaze, and asked, “Can you transform now?”
“I can’t. I don’t think I can ever become a giant dragon. I’m only a half-dragon.” Yabemiya shook her head with a dejected expression.
Babla shook her head with an earnest expression as she said, “Don’t be sad; you’re super awesome, Big Sister Miya. You can memorize so many customer orders at once and not make a single mistake. Even a giant dragon wouldn’t be able to do that, so you’re much more impressive than a giant dragon.”
“That’s right. You’ll definitely become a true giant dragon someday,” Mag encouraged with a smile on his face.
A joyful smile also appeared on Yabemiya’s face as she shook her head, and said, “I’m actually not sad at all. Even if I really do become a giant dragon, I still want to stay at the restaurant as a waitress and serve our customers.”
“Here’s a beef kebab for you as a reward.” Mag smiled as he picked up a beef kebab from the plate beside him and placed it in Yabemiya’s plate. She was truly an exceptional worker.
“Thank you, Boss.” Yabemiya’s smile grew even more vibrant.
Thus, the late dinner concluded in a joyful atmosphere. Sally cleaned up the table and all of the cutlery before preparing to leave with Yabemiya.
“This is your work uniform. You can try it on and tell me if my fashion sense is better than yours or not.” Mag brought out a black box from behind the counter and handed it to Babla.
“Her work uniform?” Yabemiya made her way over to them with a curious expression.
Sally also turned toward them with an intrigued look. She was also wondering what kind of work uniform Mag had made for Babla.
“I feel like my fashion sense is perfect, so I’m not looking forward to this at all,” Babla emphasized with a serious expression. However, she still carried the box over to a clean table before slowly taking off the lid.
Yabemiya looked at the item of clothing in the box, and she couldn’t help but praise, “Wow, it’s a blue and white dress, and the embroidered edges are so pretty!”
Amy also got up on the tips of her toes to look into the box before her little face lit up with joy. “It’s a dress! And there’s a pair of beautiful little black shoes as well.”
Boss is so impressive. How can he design so many beautiful items of clothing? Does he have a specialized sewing room? Sally’s eyes were filled with curiosity and admiration as she looked at Mag. It appeared that he was far more than just a brilliant chef.
Babla’s eyes also lit up, and as she looked at the dress in her box, she discovered that she couldn’t look away. She gently picked up the dress out of the box, and saw that it was an off-white dress with an embroidered collar. The sleeves had blue lace cuffs, and the accompanying belt was made from blue ribbon. The dress was very smooth and soft to the touch, and most importantly, it was utterly adorable.
So beautiful! So adorable! I love it! Babla stared at the dress with incredulity in her eyes. The entire dress didn’t have as much as a single trace of her favorite pink color, but it was the most perfect thing in her eyes. She couldn’t even articulate just how much she loved this dress.
“Do you like it?” Mag asked with a smile.
“I do!” Babla nodded without even thinking. She looked at Mag’s smile and blushed slightly as she tried to correct herself. “I mean… what I’m saying is, it’s not bad…”
Yabemiya and Sally both smiled. This little girl was quite adorable once they got to know her.
“Alright, thanks for your hard work today, everyone. Have a good night’s sleep. I’ll see you all tomorrow.” Mag bade farewell to everyone before turning to Yabemiya as he said, “Miya, keep an eye out for lodging near you with better conditions available for rent.”
“Alright.” Yabemiya nodded in response before departing with Sally.
“Are you still trying to kick me out?” Babla looked at Mag with a pitiable expression.
Mag shook his head with an implacable expression as he said, “I’m not kicking you out; I’m looking for a more suitable place for you to live. I don’t want to live with anyone aside from Amy, as that would be very inconvenient for me. As such, please move out once we find a suitable place for you.”
“Alright, then.” Babla looked at Mag for a while before finally nodding her head. However, she quickly emphasized, “But there can’t be any of those furry things. Otherwise, I’m definitely not going to live there!”
“Alright, we’ll find you a place with no mice.” Mag nodded with a smile before picking up the yawning Amy in her arms. He also picked up Ugly Duckling, which had already fallen asleep, and turned Babla as he said, “I’m going to bathe Amy first, and then teach you how to bathe yourself.”
“Huh?” Babla faltered upon hearing that before a thought occurred to her. Her face was immediately flushed red as she glowered at Mag, and said, “I’m not going to stay in the bathroom with you! And I definitely don’t need you to teach me how to take a bath!”
“What are you thinking in that head of yours? I was only planning to teach you how to use the tap.” Mag rolled his eyes with an exasperated look before carrying Amy upstairs.
Amy smiled at Babla as she laid her chin on Mag’s shoulder, and said, “Hehe, Big Sister Babla, Father will only bathe me and no one else.”
“I… I wasn’t thinking about strange stuff!” Babla’s blush deepened even further as she clenched her little fists, wishing that a rift would open up in the ground to swallow her.
Mag bathed Amy, and then also took a bath himself. After that, he explained to the blushing Babla how to use the bathtub and the tap, and also gave her a set of new pajamas.
“I know all of this already. It’s just a tube that water comes out of, isn’t it?” Babla looked at the tap with a disinterested expression.
“Alright, then take a bath and go to bed.” Mag nodded before leaving the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
“Wow! What a bright mirror! And this phosphorescent bead is so bright too! I only have to turn this thing and hot water comes out of this pipe! This white bathtub is the most impressive thing out of all of this stuff; it’s white and smooth, and is so much more convenient than having to heat up water for a bus!” The door had only just swung shut when Babla’s eyes lit up with excitement. She looked into the mirror, and then stroked the tap before taking off her shoes and jumping into the bathtub.
