Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

"Then why does he call himself 'boss'?"

"I didn't think much of it at the time, but my heart skipped a beat. I thought, 'That's it! This bastard really isn't going to let me off the hook. He's definitely going to tell the boss and embarrass me!'"

"So what did you do after that?"

"I can't do anything about it... so I can only go upstairs and call the boss..."

"Where should we take the boss? To the restroom?"

"I was actually curious about this question at the time. Fortunately, the boss had a special meeting room, which I didn't even know about before. Later, when I mentioned it to the boss, I learned from him that the guy was a super big client here, and this meeting room was prepared for him."

He always commissioned his boss to make all sorts of clothes and dolls, and he was quite generous with his money.

It's said that he spent a lot of money to have the tailor, who makes clothes, make him several dolls! And the clothes he wears all seem to be copied from the same style; he's made many identical dolls from when he was little to when he grew up. The little girl was the same; she forced the tailor to make her various styles of clothes based on her sketches!

In short, he was the kind of spoiled brat the boss absolutely couldn't afford to offend, so the boss didn't dare to be negligent at all and personally went to prepare the reception room.

"It's so good to be rich..."

"Yeah...it's good to be rich...but that guy is a big bad guy!"

After he came out of the restroom, he went straight to the meeting room. Even though he and the boss were very familiar with each other, he still had to bully me!

They might have been coercing the boss to fire me back then.

I had only been working for less than a week and hadn't even received my first paycheck yet.

But if I disobey the boss, I might get into trouble, so I still feel a little uncomfortable.

As expected... after that guy came out of the meeting room, he started making things difficult for me again.

"And how did I make things difficult for you?"

"Then that big bully started chatting with me, but it was more like giving orders than chatting. He was expressionless and didn't even look at me. Meanwhile, the boss next to him was bowing and scraping to him."

Even the child on his neck stood high above me, arms crossed, glancing at me sideways as if mocking me, and uttered a "Goo-ga~" that I couldn't decipher.

[The situation at the time]-----------------------------

The tyrant said, "Today is a special day for our young lady, so we've come to pick out some nice things for her. Don't try to fool us with some junk, understand?"

"understood."

And the things he casually pointed to were not cheap.

The tyrant: "How much is this?"

Izuru: "28 silver coins!"

The Big Bully: "One gold coin for the whole package."

Izuru: "Huh?"

The tyrant said, "If you hesitate, I don't want it."

Then he pointed to something else.

The tyrant: "How much is this?"

Izuru: "39 silver coins."

The tyrant: "Will you sell it for 6 gold coins?"

Izuru: "Huh?"

The tyrant said, "No, you're hesitating again."

Izuru: "Huh?"

The tyrant: "How much is this?"

Izuru: "5 gold coins!"

The Big Bully: "One gold coin for the whole package."

Izuru: "Sell! Wait, no! I can't sell it, I can't sell it!"

The guy didn't talk to me at all; he just turned and looked at the boss.

The tyrant yelled, "Boss! Pack this up and take it with you!"

The boss, looking displeased, jogged over and started packing things without saying a word.

--------------

"Hahahaha!!! Is that guy a genius? This saintess has learned something!"

"Why are you learning this kind of thing from him?!"

"Never mind that. What happened next?"

"Sigh... He was clearly bullying the boss and coercing him! I was so angry!"

And I've only been working for less than a week! I haven't even earned a single penny yet, and because of me, the boss has lost such a huge sum of money!

I don't even have the money to pay compensation!

"And with his outburst, I'm definitely going to get fired. If word gets out, I might not even be able to find a part-time job..."

"Poor little Lutty~ What should we do with her?"

Upon hearing this, Nina was laughing so hard she was practically lying on the table, her shoulders shaking.

I sighed and continued.

"Then I figured things couldn't get any worse, so I just beat him up right in front of everyone!"

Nina excitedly slammed her hand on the table.

"Impressive! And then what happened?"

"And then..." I covered my face, "things really got worse."

"Huh? What happened?!"

"I punched that guy to the ground! He was lying there foaming at the mouth!!!"

Nina was stunned.

"You're that amazing?!"

"How could that be? That guy was clearly faking it!" I got angrier and angrier as I spoke. "He was lying there more upright than a dead man, and the white foam at the corner of his mouth looked so real. I really suspect he put something in his mouth beforehand! He's obviously a professional, trying to scam me!!!"

"Hahaha~ Isn't that going too far?"

"And that's not all!" I took a deep breath. "The little girl next to him was quite the actress! She froze for a second, then suddenly threw herself at him, crying her heart out, yelling 'Daddy, don't die! Daddy, don't die!' while shaking him!"

Hahahaha~~~

Nina was laughing so hard she slid halfway off her chair.

"You're still laughing?! The little one's crying even drew everyone's attention outside the window, making me look like the bullying shop assistant! They were all pointing and whispering about me. I stood there, my mind completely blank. Later, I went back home and cried on my bed, and I still feel this way every time I think about it..."

The people around here have completely had enough of the noise we're making...

A lot of eyes were looking in our direction...

So... how did it turn out like this again?

This guy named Kino is amazing. He can still calmly hold his tea and even hand Nina a tissue so she can wipe away the tears of laughter.

"And then?"

"Sigh... In the end, of course, I got fired..."

"That guy is absolutely rotten to the core!"

"Yeah! That guy is absolutely awful! Now I can't even find a part-time job..."

The people around us couldn't stand our crazy, noisy antics anymore, and quite a few have left.

And now I've caused trouble for others again...

Nina laughed for a while before finally calming down.

They started caring about me again.

"Are you short of money right now? This saintess certainly has plenty on hand!"

"No need for that, because the boss is a really nice person."

"Huh? What's going on?"

"After my boss fired me, he secretly gave me a large sum of money called severance pay and some kind of damages for reputation. There are still many good people in the world~~~"

"Huh?! How much did they give you?"

"A full 50 Asura gold coins! If I'm careful with them, it'll last me for over ten years!"

(The author estimates this to be around 75 RMB)

"Selling clothes, is that even profitable?!"

Nina nearly knocked over her teacup.

"You find it unbelievable too, right? To be honest, I don't know how the boss makes so much money. Are the profit margins for luxury goods really that high?"

After repeating it once, even I felt it was somewhat unreal...

Nina rested her chin on her hand, her gaze drifting to the window, murmuring to herself.

"Maybe...we could open a shop like this together someday?"

I sighed and waved my hand.

"Hmm... forget it, I'm the kind of person who's going to do big things."

"Oh~~~"

That's what she said, but Nina still seemed to have not given up on the idea.

Nina turned to look at me, her eyes sparkling.

"Since you're so rich, then you can treat us to a good time today, and we can get down to business tomorrow!"

"Are you going to visit Mr. Jacks' family tomorrow?"

"That's right! We're going to find Mr. Jacks' family." She winked. "Want to come along? Maybe there'll be a surprise!"

I hesitated for a moment, then decided to forget it...

"Jacks' family information is definitely a secret, so you should be careful not to reveal it carelessly."

"Okay, okay." She stood up, stretched, and sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on her raised chin. "This saint knows her limits!"

As she spoke, she took my hand and led me outside.

Kino followed silently behind us, like a quiet little tail.

The wind blew in from the alley entrance, carrying the smell of freshly baked bread and honey.

As we walked, Nina asked me with great interest which store we were going to that evening.

Looking at her, I thought of that bastard again.

Honestly, although that guy was despicable, thinking about it now, something still feels off.

never mind......

Anyway, there are still more good people than bad in the world.

These fifty gold coins in my hand are the best proof.

Next, he'd better pray he doesn't run into me in private, otherwise...

Next time I definitely won't hold back when I throw a punch!
