The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

"Indeed..."

No, no, no, no!

Riber, who was about to say the truth, stopped his mouth in time.

so close!

Almost fell for it!

No matter what the reason is, how miserable and sad he must find a man to be his personal maid?

And, come to think of it, so many people know Chris.After all these people know that Chris is working as a maid for the earl, what will happen to the earl's reputation?

"Indeed, your proposal is very interesting. But sure enough, I still refuse!"

"Eh? If the Earl refuses again, I will be very troubled. Last month, because I have been doing work related to the Knights, my office has almost no income. I also use all the salary paid by the Knights to buy This maid outfit and corresponding decorations and cosmetics. If the Earl doesn’t hire me, I will starve to death!”

Who cares about you...

And although Riber's reluctance to hire Chris is very strong, Chris's persistence is obviously stronger.

In addition, Ribel's butler Sebastian appeared at the right time.Then, adhering to the principle that if you can make the young master worry, you will never make the young master feel comfortable, and strongly agree with Chris staying in the restaurant.

So in the end, after deliberation, the result became that the nameless restaurant decided to hire Veronica and Chris as waiters in the restaurant.

Veronica has no deadline, but Chris has a "until the Dismemberer incident is resolved" time limit.

Thinking, with the help of the strange thief, the Witch of Sorrow will probably be found soon, so Ribel can only pinch his nose and agree temporarily.

...

...

at dusk.

Just when Ed, the owner of the nameless restaurant, was training the two "female" waiters in the restaurant with a complicated face, the door of the restaurant was pushed open with the sound of wind chimes.

"Hey, is this store still open?"

Walking into the store was an elderly gentleman on crutches.

And Riber, who was still sitting in the restaurant to pass the time, glanced at...

"Is there any progress in the case? The strange thief."

"So, how on earth did you do it!"

The strange thief who walked into the restaurant threw his top hat to the ground angrily.

Then, she saw the new waiter of the unnamed restaurant coming towards her.

The one in the maid outfit.

After that, no more words are needed.

After getting to know each other for a while, the Kaitou also fell into a state of doubting life this day.

Volume II: Chapter 82, The Earl's Day (Birthday)

night time.

Although to be precise, there is no specific work that needs to be done, but after completing the first day of work as a waiter, it is time for Chris and Veronica to get off work.

As we all know, the Earl's mansion is quite large.

Therefore, when working in an unnamed restaurant, there are also excellent benefits such as board and lodging.

On Chris' side, he naturally raised his hands to indicate that he wanted to stay, and then went back to hang up the closure card for his detective agency and move his luggage.Since it was said that there were a lot of luggage, he also called on the person who seemed to be the most idle even in a group of idlers in an unnamed restaurant to help him.

That's right, what Chris called was the Phantom Thief.

So, dragging a face of "Why should I help the detective move? I am a phantom thief who doesn't want to lose face?" Chris left the front door of the unnamed restaurant.

On the back foot, Riber and Veronica came to the backyard of the mansion together.

Since Veronica also needs to take care of her younger brother and sister at home, she cannot live in an unnamed restaurant for a long time.

Walking in the courtyard, Riber led the way ahead and said,

"Although, you have thanked me many times about you and your brother. But after thinking about it carefully, I can't accept your thanks."

Listening to Ribel's voice, Veronica's body trembled slightly.

She was very worried that the reason why the Earl said such words was because some of her actions offended the other party.

After all, she is just a commoner.So she felt that her various behaviors might not conform to noble etiquette.

Looks like I'm going to be fired...

Veronica thought very frustrated.

And for a while, she couldn't tell that her loss was due to her inability to get this well-paid job, so that her family could live a better life.Or because she felt that if she missed this time, she might never have the chance to repay the Earl again in her life.

However, to Veronica's surprise, Riber's next words were completely different from what she had imagined,

"Because it was the Knights who saved your brother, and it has nothing to do with me. And the one who really saved you was not the 'Knights'... So, I can't let you express gratitude to a wrong benefactor forever."

"How, how could it be... No matter what, I, I will be grateful to the Earl..."

Veronica paused, waved her hands repeatedly and said.

And looking at the girl who seemed to be in a state of panic again, Riber couldn't help scratching her face with her fingers.

I remember that Sebastian said that he was very optimistic about Veronica's "toughness".

But according to this half-day relationship, Riber didn't see where Veronica's strength was at all.

At least, in front of him, Veronica was just an introverted girl who kept her head down, flustered or blushed at every turn, spoke softly, and spoke incoherently, and was not very good at getting along with others.

"Anyway, first meet the person you really should be thankful for... er, exist."

Riber continued to lead the way, then stopped at the door of the stable and pushed open the door of the stable.

He glanced at the Pegasus horses in the stable, Anne and Berta.Riber walked up to Annie.

"She is the one who rescued the girl from the devil, the true hero."

Showing Anne to Veronica, Riber said.

However, when Riber looked at Annie, he found that the horse was looking at him with a very humane and weird look.

Ok?

What's wrong?What is it on his face?

Before Liber could figure it out, he found another Pegasus horse on the other side of the stable, screaming loudly, spinning and jumping in his stable.

"..."

"..."

"Oh! So you are Annie."

Riber, who took several beats to react, quickly walked up to the "real" Anne,

"Sorry sorry. Has anyone ever said you look alike? Like twins?"

Annie snorted and sprayed Ribel angrily.

"..."

Riber, who felt wronged, could only silently pull out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and wipe his face.

He thinks that this mistakenly recognized Annie and Berta, and he really can't be blamed.

Horse's (not a vulgar language), these two have the same long face, two eyes and two noses, the same white and the same wing, the devil can tell who is who.

"Well, that's it. You may not believe me when I tell you, but I didn't even order Annie to rush out to save you. Therefore, Annie is your real benefactor. If you want to thank her in the future, thank her."

After coughing to dispel the awkward atmosphere, Riber turned around and said to Veronica again.

And Veronica also came to Annie's side.

Veronica naturally didn't believe Riber's "nonsense".

She only felt that the reason why the Earl said these words was because her performance that day was too unbearable.Therefore, in order to prevent her from being nervous again, she used such words to calm her mind.

After calming down and thinking about it, Veronica felt that her actions were indeed inappropriate.

Even if it is good to want to express gratitude, but frequent thanks will only make the atmosphere dignified and unfamiliar.

Therefore, she must cheer up a little bit.Don't let the earl say such outrageous words for her again.

"Annie..."

"Miss."

"Ms. Annie, thank you very much for saving me earlier... May I touch you?"

Standing in front of Annie, Veronica raised her head slightly and asked carefully.

Although, Veronica also knew that what was in front of her was a sacred and powerful Eudemons that often appeared more in legends.But Anne brought her a sense of intimacy, and the Earl beside her also gave her a sense of peace of mind.That's why she asked such a sentence, which might be very bad if taken alone.

Annie raised her neck and let out a cry, as if agreeing to Veronica's request.

Afterwards, he stroked Annie's supple temples, and gently responded to Annie's intimate rubbing.

Veronica showed the happiest smile of the day.

...

Not long after, Veronica, who thanked Anne well, left the stable.And Riber, who had something to look for Annie, stayed behind.

Looking at Anne whose indifferent fluorescent light had not dissipated, Ribel was amazed.

I don't know if Annie thought the stable was a bit dark, so she was lighting Veronica.Or, she was showing her beauty to Veronica.

All in all, except for Sebastian, Anne seemed to be friendly to everyone.

"Annie, do you have time tonight?"

Facing Riber's question, although Annie was a little puzzled, she still nodded.

"The same time, the same place to meet, we need to do the same thing again..."

Riber said with a serious face.

Yes, he's going to bury the sword tonight.

So what if the Sword of Destruction crawls back by itself like in a horror movie?Bury it again, just bury it far away.

He has always felt that the most stupid behavior of the protagonists in this kind of horror movie is to give up after trying to throw the horror doll a few times.

The postal system was so developed in his previous life, and when he encountered this kind of doll, he would go all out and spend a little more money to post transoceanic mail every day. He didn't believe that those dolls could still fly back by plane all day long.

Listening to Riber's words, Anne's expression looked even more inexplicable, but she still let out a cry and agreed.

It can only be said that after counting the entire mansion, this horse is the most reliable one.

Sure enough, only the horse is the earl's best partner!

After getting Annie's approval, Riber, who suddenly felt more at ease in his heart, left the stable with satisfaction.

However, when leaving the stable, Riber inadvertently met the eyes of another Pegasus, Bota.

Then I found that this Pegasus horse is particularly humane, subtle and complex, both in its gaze and in its expression.

Even, a little green.

...

Outside the stables, Veronica, who had just exited the stables, turned around and saw Ribel who was "talking" with Pegasus in a serious manner.

If someone else was talking to a horse, Veronica would definitely think that the other party was a weirdo.

But if this person is the Earl...

Veronica felt that this man could talk to a horse on an equal footing, so he must be full of love and romance in his heart.

What happened that day, Veronica would be lying if she said she wasn't disturbed.

After all, when he came to a restaurant, he suddenly met the Earl.Moreover, the Earl is the real owner of the restaurant and is still recruiting maids.What's more, Detective Chris is such a chaotic person that she can't tell whether the earl has any special hobbies...

But in the short time before, these uneasiness was easily soothed.

The girl stopped and looked at the "generous", "wise", "brave", "friendly", "considerate", "integrity" and handsome Earl Campret from a distance. elapsed.
