Chapter 119: Job Description (1/2)
”Welcome!”
Calvin pushed open the doors of the Captivating Fragrance Coffee Shop. As soon as he stepped inside, he was greeted by the jovial smiles of Ashlynn, Bruce, and James. But when the three saw that the customer was Calvin. Their expressions turned ugly as they whispered.
”Damn it! I thought it was a legitimate customer!”
”Fuck...”
”Captain... We should really go ahead and reduce our prices...”
James, Bruce, and Ashlynn voiced out their complaints to their Captain, Ron Samuel.
”Shut up. Do you think that the four of us have what it takes to run a Coffee Shop? It's not so simple! Running a business is not so simple at all!” Ron Samuel scolded.
”Pffft!” James suddenly laughed.
”What is it? Was there something funny in what Captain said?” Ashlynn asked in curiosity.
”N-Nothing...” James immediately froze when he felt Ron Samuel's glare.
Ashlynn noticed the Captain's glare and she immediately nabbed James to the side and started interrogating him.
Calvin approached the counter.
Ron Samuel stared at him and asked, ”What would you like to have? The prices for the beverage and snacks are outside. It's made to order so everything is customizable and made fresh straight out of the oven!”
”Hahaha...” Calvin let out an awkward laugh, ”Captain, I came here to report for work...”
”Oh? You've already convinced your family that this is a legitimate work?”
Calvin faintly nodded.
Ron Samuel didn't seem to mind that Calvin called him, 'Captain'.
He stood up and walked out of the front desk, ”What skills do you have that you think that is useful for us?”
Calvin pondered, ”I know a lot of maths... I can also do accounting. I know bookkeeping too...”
”Yeah, those skills are indeed remarkable, but do you think that this Coffee Shop needs it?”
”Then, what do you need, Captain?” Calvin asked in confusion.
How could he answer the Captain's question, when he doesn't even know what exactly does the Coffee Shop need?
”Come here, follow me.”
”How strong is your grasp of the universal speech?” Ron Samuel asked.
Universal Speech could be considered as the official language used by all inhabitants of the world of Las Felipinas. But this world could also refer to the language that arose into popularity after the first Cataclysm.
However, Universal Language does not include other languages or dialects dedicated to demi-humans or for use in any given region.
But Universal Speech is widely-understood, even for demi-humans.
Calvin pondered for a moment, unsure as to how he should answer Ron Samuel's question.
Noticing Calvin's hesitation, Ron Samuel didn't ask any further.
”All right, you don't have to worry too much. So long as you can turn these complicated universal speech texts into texts that we can understand without thinking into it too much, then I guess you can start working now.”
