Chapter 3 (1/2)

Chapter 3: The Uncle and the Flower Shop Girl

Yesterday, I gained some insight on my designated role.

If you look at this world not as a manga, but as a game, I should be in the NPC role!

With this thought in mind, my position seems a lot more interesting.

“Welcome.”

“Thank you for your patronage.”

Actually, as an a NPC just saying these lines would be enough, so since yesterday, I’ve been practicing saying them mechanically.

“Keke- Wel-come.”

Talking robotically towards imaginary customers.

“All of our products here are- high- cla.s.s- goods.”

Although its just pretend, I still feel like I’m saying my lines properly and doing quite well.

However, since this morning, Elan has been hiding behind the door and staring at me in horror.

Her small hand clutched the door frame while her small body trembled.

How hateful! A small child like you could never understand my great ideas!

But after all, this is the real world. These couple of lines would not be enough to entertain the customers. I guess it’s necessary to practice more mechanical sounds.

“Hey- you- if- you- are- n’t- buy- ing- some- thing- then- scram.”

No no no. If it’s like this, even the character has changed!

Just as I was fretting, the door was opened.

“Good morning, Uncle Zai ”

A seventeen-year-old girl came in, wearing a white short skirt, a blue jacket, and cloth shoes. Although her face was not as cute as Elan’s, her smile was warm and sunny. Her flaxen hair was in a high ponytail and draped across her shoulder and chest. Incidentally, her breast development was also very good. Among her peers, her chest would definitely be considered big.

This child’s name was Li Sanai. She was apprenticed at the flower shop near my store.

“Wel- come.”

I once again practiced my mechanical response to receive her, but Li Sanai responded with shock.

“Un- Uncle Zai? Are you okay?”

She screamed from the doorway.

Without warning, Elan rushed out from the back door and threw herself into Li Sanai’s arms, crying. She buried her face in those mountains. (TL: If you don’t understand, the author meant Li Sanai’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.)

“Big brother, big brother’s been possessed by something bad!”

“What? Then we need to have the exorcist come soon…”

“….”

Eventually, I ended up kneeling on the floor in apology.

Even though I don’t like bowing my head, it couldn’t be helped since Elan was crying. Besides, I did have to take some responsibility.

After finding out the truth, Elan hugged my head and sobbed, her tears falling into my hair. Indeed, I might have gone overboard. The best solution is to sincerely apologize.

I’m sorry little Elan! Forgive my OCD!

“I don’t even know what to say. How old are you already? Still considering those useless questions?”

Li Sanai stared at me with folded arms.

“By the way, what did you come here for today?”

I touched Elan’s head and asked her.

“Oh yeah,” Li Sanai laughed. This is a lot better. After all, she is more beautiful when she smiles. “Actually, Sister Ya went out, so I’m watching the shop all by myself…so…”

Wait a second, wait a second.

What kind of explanation is this?

Oh, oh it must be that. “There’s no one in the shop, so you wanted to play?” (TL: play is in English in the raw)

So you can say, even though I didn’t realize it, I’m actually quite popular. With my sophisticated personality, I must be what girls consider a killer catch, right?

Wait, should I accept this kind of situation? After all, the other party is still a minor…

“So, can you help me take care of the flowers?”

“….Eh?”
