I will never give in to Miss Death

Yin Xiamo covered her head and said, "But how can we have so much work to do? Unless it's something like a takeout ordering system, there are endless takeout orders every day."

Well... it seems that the Centaurs from the other world cannot be caught by the capitalists of this world, otherwise... well, actually I don’t know what the result will be.

"So Nuo'er will take care of the coffee shop later. Please ask for leave for me and Ouyang."

Having said this, Xiaomo walked out of the kitchen.

"And kitten, remember to drink your milk, don't waste it!"

"..."

……

No. 312 Running around, running around

As usual, I had breakfast at home, drank some dragon milk, then asked Dolly and Yueyue if they wanted milk. After getting a negative answer, I put the remaining milk in the refrigerator, tidied the house briefly, changed into my usual going-out clothes, and walked out of the house with Philo.

There were already a lot of people gathered on the main road outside the Xingxing Garden community. Many small vendors who had smelled business opportunities were selling various beverages along the way, especially purified water and functional drinks, box after box. If you didn't know, you might think that someone was holding a beverage festival here.

"This year's marathon prizes are quite generous. I wonder who will take first place."

"Participation is the most important thing. Participation is the most important thing."

When I arrived at the marathon registration point that I visited yesterday, I saw that quite a few people had gathered here. Many athletes were wearing professional clothes and running shoes, and they looked eager to try at the starting point.

It is said that the starting point of this marathon is on the small road leading to the coffee shop, because there are usually few cars passing by here, and there is a large open space in the area connecting to the ring road behind the coffee shop. Not far from the open space is a small supermarket and various restaurants. Using this as the starting point is just enough to accommodate the large number of contestants.

According to the promotional leaflet I received yesterday, this 40-kilometer marathon requires athletes to run around the entire Minami Nagi area. The routes are planned on the map. It doesn’t matter if you are not familiar with the road, because there are special warning signs on both sides of the road you need to run. Just take a look from time to time while running to know if this is the road.

“It feels like human life is much richer here.”

Walking with me on the busy streets, Philo said with emotion: "There are festivals almost every month, and every holiday has different food and different activities. In comparison, our place is relatively dull."

"Eh?"

I was a little curious: "Don't people in the other world have holidays?"

"Yes, but most of them are in very remote places, especially in the primeval forests that are not affected by war. Some human tribes there may have cultural customs that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years."

Filo, who was dressed in casual clothes, put his hands on his head and said as he walked: "Most empires, especially those large countries that need ruling power, basically celebrate religious festivals in the country. For example, some empires believe in light and will set up churches in the country to attract angels. They will actively offer resources to seek the protection of angels and gain peace. Religion itself is the most suitable for uniting people's hearts."

"Only very small countries, or even villages, have their own cultural customs. But the problem is that we often fight wars. For example, the last Demon King War lasted for nearly six thousand years. One country after another broke up and united, was destroyed and rebuilt. Many ancient buildings could not be preserved. People could not eat, so of course they had no mood to care about traditional festivals."

Philo looked at the marathon starting point not far away: "So after coming here, I was actually quite relieved to see such a peaceful place develop like this. I thought the whole world was like that, which was too boring."

"actually……"

I hesitated. “It’s not all peaceful here.”

It was only a brief peace.

If I have to say, the Earth has only been at peace for a short time, maybe eighty years. We have only had peace here for less than eighty years, and there have been all kinds of wars during these eighty years.

Even now, there are still battlefields of all sizes in this world.

"Compared to our country, it's much more peaceful. The power of magic is very terrifying. You can think of those who study large-scale destructive magic as ordinary people holding nuclear bombs. If multiple wizards run to a country and cast spells, if they are not discovered, the whole country will be wiped out in one blast."

Philo said helplessly: "During the war, many people don't know whether they can survive tomorrow. Anyway, almost every country has more or less super magicians. If one day they are not happy, they will fight and throw super magic at each other. Empires rise and fall, and dynasties fall and rise again one after another..."

"Well, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. That's human affairs. Now we finally found such an interesting place..."

Turning to look at me, Filo asked curiously: "Noer, what are your plans?"

"Eh?"

I was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

After living here for a few days, Philo and Gabriel have simply integrated into the life here.

It can be clearly seen from their daily wear that Philo and Gabriel have very obvious differences in the way they dress.

Gabriel doesn't seem to be very particular about clothes. She usually wears an ordinary dress when she goes out. The simpler the better. For example, Xiaomo and I bought her a T-shirt with the words "Fallen" printed on it. Sometimes she wears it as a dress, and then a small skirt with short socks and sneakers on the lower body, which is very much the style of a girl next door.

In comparison, Filo seems to be a little more "energetic". She doesn't seem to like skirts very much, and seldom wears loose clothes such as T-shirts and shirts. A few days ago, Filo and Gabriel went out for a trip, and no one knew where they bought the clothes. When she came back, she was dressed in a belly-baring top, hot pants and casual shoes. Filo's figure was particularly exaggerated, and the clothes showed off the bulge of her chest to the fullest. The belly-baring top made her slender waist exposed, and her long legs were set off by the hot pants. Anyone who likes girls with big breasts will look back every few steps when they see Filo on the street and can't take their eyes off her.

There are many things I only learned after I became a girl, like JK sailor suits or some Lolita dresses, which are actually only suitable for girls with small breasts. It’s not that I envy girls with big breasts, because if your breasts are too big, wearing such clothes will make you look "pregnant". Yes, it’s not just about looking fat. If your breasts are very big, they will prop up the upper part of the clothes, and then the belly will bulge out, making you look very "pregnant".

So in a way, Philo was right not to like wearing skirts, her breasts were too big.

"It's a preparation for Momo."

On the way, the mysterious Filo came over and said, "I remember telling you that Xiaomo's true form is very scary!"

"Are you referring to Hei Mo?"

I thought about it and said, "Is it Xiaomo, the one whose aura was even more frightening than Long Wei's when I first met you?"

"Hei Mo? Ah, indeed you can call her that."

Filo nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, Momo probably means to prepare your body for a little girl first, so that you can adapt to the life and way of thinking of a little girl, boil the frog in warm water, and wait until you are completely fallen... um, you know what I mean."

"I...I know."

I felt the hair on my head wilt a little: "I'll find a way."

"Go, brave boy, go and create a miracle!"

Philo patted my shoulder and said, "I will give you all the assistance except help."

Isn't this the same as having nothing?

"By the way, Filo, I have a question for you, about the elves and the world."

When we were almost at the coffee shop, I told this thousands-year-old Dragon King about my previous dream about the World Tree.

"Xiaomo said she didn't quite understand what was going on, you know?"

"The elves and the world tree..."

Filo was silent for a while: "I'm not sure either, but I do know what Momo mentioned, that the soul of the hero is special. That forbidden spell has been passed down in our dragon clan for millions of years. Its origin and purpose have always been a mystery. Even if you tell me that it was used to create the world, I won't be surprised."

"Anyway, according to my understanding, there is no such concept as reincarnation of the soul, but Momo was able to find the coordinates of the hero's soul with the help of that forbidden spell and various strange magics. To be honest, I am also very curious. You two were not very normal to the world from the beginning."

I was a little confused: "Abnormal?"

"Yes, a brave man with a strong talent for water magic and a half-blood of an elf and a demon. The two of them came together by chance and saved the world. Don't you think this is a plot that only appears in cliché novels?"

Philo said in a joking tone: "Noer can try to work in this direction and see if he can find out the truth about the world. Forget it. I am old and don't like this kind of research spirit anymore."

As I get older...I remember Xia Mo said that a dragon that is several thousand years old is about the same as a twenty-year-old human?

"Sister Ouyang!"

Just like the previous two days, today was a holiday, so many people came to the coffee shop early in the morning. After entering the coffee shop with Philo, I went straight to the lounge on the first floor. As expected, I found Ouyang Xue who was packing things there.

"Are you feeling better?"

Seeing Ouyang Xue's rosy face, I couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Why don't you take one more day off?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm really fine. The cup of milk from another world you gave me yesterday was amazing!"

Ouyang Xue raised one hand and made a "Popeye" gesture: "I have never felt so strong. Why should I stay in the hospital? It's a waste of money."

"It's better to rest more. Even if you recover, you still need to rest for a few days..."

Having said that, I felt that I couldn't persuade this guy, so I changed the subject: "Where is Su Yunjin?"

"Still playing the game down there."

"They stayed up all night? That hard?"

"That's right. The young master is actually an e-sports fan himself. With a heavyweight player like Gabriel around, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night."

"Don't let that young master get sick."

I walked towards Ouyang Xue and asked, "Sister Ouyang, are we still hiring?"

"Ok?"

Ouyang Xue was stunned at first, then she was ecstatic: "Yes, of course, Nuo'er, do you have friends coming over again?"

"Uh……"

I was a little embarrassed: "Look, hasn't our store received many negative reviews for takeout recently? It just so happens that we are also planning to set up our own takeout platform. We are in need of management and deliverymen. I happen to have two friends who should be able to do the delivery work."

"..."

……

[Let me talk about my recent situation... The fever has gone down, but I still have chills and I'm coughing like crazy. I can't stop coughing and my head hurts. I suspect I have a serious illness QAQ]

No. 313 The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands

As usual, after arriving at the store, I put my personal belongings in the employee lounge, then took the maid outfit to the bathroom to change, combed my long hair into convenient and simple double ponytails, switched to elf mode, put on cat ear headphones, took out my phone to set up the relevant data of the coffee shop APP, checked the matching of the headphones and the mini program, and went out with a small notebook to start counting the number of cats in the store.

First up is the biggest cat in the store, Timon… OK, Timon is here, no need to count, this big guy has been following me since I entered the door, and he also stood guard at the door when I was changing clothes.

Then comes Nuomi. I remember that Nuomi usually likes to be in the super big round plate in the middle of the cat climbing frame... Got it, Nuomi reports. Then comes Building No. 3. Building No. 3 is easy to find. This guy has always been unruly and only likes the cat bed by the window behind the small chair on the second floor... Sure enough, it is here. Since Building No. 3 has been found, its little brother Mosquito Bag should be here too... Well, Mosquito Bag is here.

"..."

The cat-finding task in the morning and evening would last about twenty to thirty minutes. In the beginning, because we were not familiar with the habits of these cats, we often had to run up and down, back and forth, and then record them in a small notebook in a hurry. Now, as the check-in system of the coffee shop has been improved by Ouyang Xue, we only need to open the mobile APP, see the corresponding cat and tick it.

Anyone can do this cat sign-in. If you have the leisure time, you can do half of it. For example, at noon, Li Chen saw Ding Man and Nuomi playing on the central station on the second floor, so he could record on the APP "Ding Man and Nuomi, licking their paws at the service desk on the second floor at 2022:6 noon on June 8, 12". In the evening, when Master Wang Jie saw Ding Man running to the kitchen to eat meat, he could write "Ding Man, 28:19, asking for food in the kitchen on the first floor". In this way, if we can't find the cats someday, we can also use these tips to follow the cats' movements to check, and if it doesn't work, we can also check the cameras.

Of course, morning and evening roll call of all cats is mandatory, as we are responsible for the cats in the store.

"Then there's Du Fu... um, Du Fu is here, Li Bai... Li Bai?"

On the second floor, I was patiently helping cats sign in one after another. While I was impressed by the completeness of the cat sign-in system created by Ouyang Xue, I also felt a little regretful that Ouyang Xue would have to work on the commercial street in a month.

Actually, finding cats... is particularly torturous at the beginning, because no one knows the temperament and personality of these cats, nor do they know where they like to go. The only way is to use the dumbest method, which is to go to the place with the most cats first, and then sign in when you see a cat. After checking all the cats in conspicuous places, check them one by one according to the list on the APP.

It's much better now. We have figured out the habits and hobbies of most cats, and we also know where they tend to appear in the morning and evening. Basically, when we go to a place, we can guess which cat might appear nearby. Therefore, the time for investigation is greatly shortened. Generally, in the morning when there are not many people in the store and the cats are not very noisy, we can finish checking sixty cats in ten minutes.

"Did Li Bai lose his appetite last night?"

When I checked on Li Bai, I looked at the note left by Elodie: "At 21:30 at night, the automatic feeder fed the cat food. Li Bai had no obvious reaction to the cat food and went to sleep on cat climbing frame No. 3." After a little thought, I went downstairs and found cat climbing frame No. .

Li Bai is here.

"What's wrong with you?"

I picked up some probiotic snacks from a small shelf on the side, squatted down in front of Li Bai, tried to touch the cat's head, and pinched its ears to test the temperature.

No fever.

Li Bai is a silver tabby cat. He and Du Fu have the same owner. They have known each other for at least four years. Many people in the store cannot tell the difference between Du Fu and Li Bai, but for me who sees them every day, the two cats are easy to tell apart. Du Fu looks silly, while Li Bai looks a little... well, like a poet? Anyway, if the two cats are put together, the silly one is Du Fu. But if you really want to be picky, there is a small heart pattern on the back of Li Bai's buttocks that is not very conspicuous. If you really can't recognize it, you can look at this.

Li Bai and Du Fu are both very good-tempered cats. They can be touched anywhere, but at the same time, they are both taciturn. They will not meow to ask for snacks, and they will not approach people when they see them. Of course, they will not resist if customers come to touch them, and they will eat snacks. It’s just that their personalities are rather lazy. To use the popular words now, they are like this: "I'm lying down. Whatever you want, if you have any small fish, bring them here. I'm too lazy to move."

So if other cats showed "no reaction to cat food", I might be a little nervous, but as for Li Bai...his personality has always been like this.

"You're not sick?"

After checking the temperature of the cat's head and ears, I held Li Bai's head with one hand and used the other hand to pry open its teeth and look inside.

There are no obvious signs of getting angry, and his mental state seems to be okay, so he is not sick.

"I'm not active in eating, and I have problems with my thinking."

I unpacked the snacks and handed them to Li Bai.

Seeing this, the big cat immediately came over and started licking the snacks while purring.

I freed up one hand and added another line of text to the information tracking in the coffee shop mobile app: "On June 2022, 6, at 9:8 am, Li Bai was examined and showed no signs of fever, his oral cavity was normal, his mental state was good, and he ate a bag of probiotic snacks."

After Li Bai finished his snacks, I stood up, threw the garbage into the trash can on the side, and continued to sign in for the cats in the store.

Things like this have been happening almost every day in the coffee shop in the past two months.

Our attitude towards cats is to do a comprehensive check-up in the morning and evening to see their mental and physical state, and to make sure that no naughty cats run away or get into any strange places. We only start working or leave work after confirming this.

"Okay, all the cats are here today!"

Around 8:30, I checked the boxes behind all the cats' names on the app, put away my phone, and tried to go to the basement.

"No way, can this be hit?"

"Brother, why don't we just give up? This foreigner is a real genius girl. There's no way she can win."
