Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 107: Chapter 64: An Unexpected Visit (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch ??_lulu)

"I understand the plan."

It was still that corner spot by the window, where the manager in a pink and white female suit leisurely reviewed the proposal Belfeng had submitted over a cup of coffee, with the relaxed demeanor of an animal basking in the sun on a haystack.

Although there wasn't an explicit hierarchy among the maids in the cafe, there were still senior and junior relationships. For instance, Hexia was brought in under the guidance of Belfeng, so naturally, she was considered her junior. Usually, when the manager had instructions or tasks to pass on, she would do so through Belfeng, who would organize the maids like Hexia (Dantalion), Deklabi, and others to handle them.

The special bar counter was also organized by Belfeng before being submitted for the manager's review.

"The cost seems quite high, but considering Dantalion's special circumstances, I'll approve it." The manager placed the proposal on the table, picked up her black personal terminal, and gently pressed down with her short, stout arms. Finally, a black stamp reading 'Approved' was embossed on the surface of the proposal.

"You give this proposal to 'Leviathan'; she will be responsible for having it properly decorated." The manager mentioned another name from the Seven Deadly Sins, 'Envy,' within the cafe.

Being one of the special maids in the cafe, 'Leviathan,' who represented the sea monster, was said to be a woman clad in a white lab coat who rarely showed herself in front of outsiders. She typically stayed in the frosty machine room below 'Dream of Glazed Glass,' where the AI that controlled all the facilities in the cafe, security monitors, and several standby security maintenance Autonomous Units were located.

"Dealing with 'Leviathan', huh..." Belfeng felt a bit of a headache coming on; that woman had a peculiar personality, and was someone she seldom could handle.

"No worries, she will cooperate with you this time." The manager dismissed the concern with a wave of her hand before picking up her hat from the side, putting it on, and standing up.

It was time for her nap again.

"After the bar is decorated, you all should try it out for a few days before handing it over to Dantalion to run." With that, she waved her hand and the plump figure departed.

"The manager is always like this, leaving everything to me to do."

Belfeng murmured a complaint as she lay on the table. Suddenly, she remembered certain rumors within the cafe, suggesting that the manager herself was the former bearer of the title 'Sloth' before she joined.

"Well, with the manager being the big 'Sloth,' I guess I have to become 'Diligence.'" Her rabbit ears twitched slightly and then drooped, irresistibly inviting one to stroke them.

After a while, she stood up with renewed energy, or perhaps one should say, true to her rabbit nature.

"However, I will soon be preparing a room for Dantalion, and thinking about it gets me a bit excited. This time it will be a huge success."

On the other side of 'Dream of Glazed Glass,' Hexia was in Deklabi's tiny chapel.

Today, the little 'Angel' Deklabi with a cute star on her forehead had just finished listening to the confessions of the patrons, and it was time for her to rest.

"Is this how you normally work, Raby?"

Hexia sat beside Deklabi, and the two youngest maids of the cafe had always been close.

"That's the way it is."

Dressed in a white robe, 'Deklabi' closed the black and golden scripture and placed it on her chair, then sat down on it. Now her height was almost the same as Hexia's.

Usually, after listening to the confessions and feelings of the patrons, she would comfort them with words of ritual from the scripture.

"But such ritual words, many patrons must have heard them before, right?" The girl was a bit puzzled.

"Yes, that's right, all the comforting words from the scriptures are very similar."

Deklabi gently swung her legs, then opened the treasure box of cookies in her lap, nibbling the snacks inside. She was younger than Hexia and at the age where one enjoys sweets and desserts.

"Do you think it's not good to repeat the same words and stories, Dantalion?" Deklabi asked.

"There is a bit of that feeling."

"But you know, Dantalion, people don't tire of hearing the same answers."

"It's like many stories, the general plot is always so similar, yet people still listen and watch tirelessly."

"When I was in church school, the teacher told us that when people come to the church to confess or express their feelings, they are not necessarily seeking some novel comfort or answers, nor do they always feel like they can't go on living. They simply hope that someone is willing to sit there, listen patiently to their story, empathize, and say a few words. In this way, the corners of life burdened with misunderstandings and obscurities are somehow relieved and comforted."

"Stories are just a medium; the emotions they wish to convey are sincere and precious."

"This is the maxim left to us by my teacher's teacher's teacher. I'll share it with you, Dantalion. Though I don't quite understand its profound meaning, it must be useful, otherwise, it wouldn't have been passed down."

"The story Dantalion wants to tell has definitely been told by others before, but, like many pieces of music played over and over again by countless musicians, each person's interpretation is different, surely containing their own emotions."

"So, Dantalion, you don't have to worry that your story is not novel or original enough. Even though... well, I'm not sure how to express it but..."

"Dantalion should be able to do it, use your books and singing to bring others comfort and peace," Deklabi's voice was childish yet sincere.

"Truly an angel..." Hexia murmured softly, looking at the girl in front of her who was about her age. Though petite, as if a gust of wind could sweep her away, she was unexpectedly comforting.

"Thank you, Raby." The girl nodded, her initial tension completely dissipating.

Though the path ahead was still unclear, all one had to do was keep going.

In the following days, a pillar within 'Dream of Glazed Glass' began to be enclosed for renovation, and Hexia's life gradually stabilized with a fixed routine of work, piano practice, studying, and preparing for the first picture book she would present.

Gradually, she almost forgot that she still had to attend high school until one day after work, when she encountered the man who had been waiting at her front door for a long time.

Amidst the disordered residential corridor, he stood under the light, somewhat out of place in his crisp black suit.

"Hello, may I ask..." Although the man before her looked somewhat familiar, the girl was not completely sure, having only seen him once at the enrollment event.

"Hello, you must be Hexia, we're meeting for the second time." The man, who was slightly burly, extended his hand, offering the girl a specially made business card.

[Edith Academy, Fernandi, Position: Level B Special Envoy...]

The somewhat stiff card was engraved with lifelike patterns of blue-black roses, the emblem of Edith Academy.

"I'm here to invite Miss Hexia to enroll at Edith Academy," he stated his intention outright.

"Eh, isn't there something like a re-examination required?" the girl asked, puzzled.

"No need, Miss Hexia has already proven your talent to us." He then took out an assessment report from his briefcase, from a professional institution within the Federation, rating her talent based on her performance that day.

Structural Integration [Perfect Level]: Physically perfect integration of splits and defects, with many undiscovered points, she might have the potential for a Legendary Talent, it's just not all revealed yet.

"According to the regulations of Edith Academy, if one is evaluated with a Perfect Level Talent Ability, one can be enrolled without examination."

"I see." Odd, if this had been before, she might have been so overjoyed she'd faint, but now she couldn't seem to muster much excitement.

Perhaps it was because she had already experienced the splendor in the Northern First District, and also obtained a spot at Yuanting Academy.

Seeing Hexia's indifferent expression, which was entirely different from her earlier demeanor, the teacher felt surprise and sensed a bad omen.

"What are Miss Hexia's thoughts on this?"

"As for me... actually, I just finished the re-examination for Yuanting Academy not long ago." She didn't want to purposely hide anything or trouble the teacher before her, so she spoke her mind directly.

"Yuanting Academy, indeed, it's also a good school." In Fernandi's mind, Yuanting Academy was two levels below Edith Academy where he worked, but for the sake of maintaining a good image, it wouldn't be right to speak ill of it.

"However, our Edith Academy has more advantages, and I suspect that Miss Hexia might not fully understand..." He wanted to explain the situation in detail but it also wouldn't do to keep standing outside her door.

Seeing the teacher step aside to reveal the door behind him, Hexia understood that he wanted to have a longer talk with her. After a brief contemplation, she felt it wasn't right to keep him waiting outside when he had come such a long way to see her.

"I'll open the door, please give me a moment."

Using the identity chip on her wrist, she swiped open the door and then stepped inside.
