Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 47: 24 A Peaceful Afternoon (Thanks to the lovely maid Mengmeng, the Alliance Hierarch)_2

After looking in the mirror at this rather plain maid for a little while, Hexia decided to still add something; after all, it was her first day, and she wanted to make a good impression.

She picked out a feather-shaped hair clip from the drawer. Its five feathers were arranged in a fan-shaped gradient, with colors from top to bottom being pure white, dusky green, meadow yellow, goose yellow, and orange-red. She clipped it beside her right ear and then took out two thin white hair ties, securing two strands of hair in front of her chest before heading out.

Her first day of work had officially begun.

First was to go help "Huale" (Uvall) elder sister since the peak period for hot drink sales was in the morning, and she might not be able to handle it alone.

"Thank you, Dantalion, for coming to help~" said the maid with milk-white hair, expressing her gratitude, then telling Hexia which items to prepare.

"Hot coffee and milk tea are the mainstays in the morning, of course, our customers here definitely wouldn't be satisfied with just ordinary brewed coffee, most are looking for T4-T3 level beverages. I'll send you the ingredients list, just prepare according to that, then I'll handle the processing."

"Alright," Hexia said as she looked at the information that came through, beginning to take out ingredients from the storage compartments into clean porcelain bowls.

These ingredients were all different, some being materials with transcendent effects, hence the environment for their storage varied as well. They were distributed across five different areas, and had to be used within a certain timeframe after being taken out, otherwise their quality would slowly deteriorate.

"Purple Core Beans, Molten Core Coffee Beans, Frost Bile Powder, Starpoint Grass Leaves, Alice Red Tea, Orchid Extract..."

According to different needs, Hexia carefully weighed and added them before handing them over to the maid "Huale", the maid with a High Rank blending qualification certificate.

Just like making a potion, within various transparent apparatuses, the raw materials were heated, roasted, stirred, and then magic power was used to elicit their special effects, etc. In the end, the beverages were blended.

'T4-level Orchid Red Tea, customer D-24.'

"T3-level Cold Flame Fusion Coffee, customer B-19."

"T4-level Snow Serene Quicksand, customer D-92."

Even though it seemed chaotic, "Huale" managed to skillfully produce three drinks at the same time.

"Two T4-level ones can be delivered by the robots; for the T3-level one, I'm afraid I'll need to trouble Hexia to deliver it personally."

"I understand."

Hexia nodded, took out a specialized tray from behind the bar, and Huale placed the drink and a bunch of fresh flowers on it. Then she thought for a moment, pulled out a note, and wrote both of their names on it.

'Blessings from "Huale" and "Dantalion"~'

Only then did Hexia set off.

Carrying the tray, Hexia walked toward the west side of the hall with a slightly nervous heart, being very careful along the way for fear of bumping into someone or being bumped into, or worse, falling over.

Fortunately, Dream of Glazed Glass was a shop that occupied an entire floor, which was extremely spacious and uncluttered, so there was no need to worry about someone suddenly popping out from some corner. Just like that, Hexia walked for almost 1 minute before she reached the location of the target customer.

This was a lady of status, dressed in a fragmented blue skirt, sitting in her chair admiring the view outside the window, her demeanor very composed.

"Hello, your Cold Flame Fusion Coffee is ready," Hexia said softly to get the lady's attention, placing the tray on the table and then setting down the saucer and the cup of the drink, with the saucer containing light pink and light blue flavoring cubes, followed by placing a spoon next to the saucer and then arranging the fresh flowers beside the drink.

Right, and the note, she smoothed it out, thinking to place it beside the fresh flowers, but feeling it might blow away, she then decided to lightly press it under the bouquet.

The lady of status watched Hexia's movements with neither speaking nor responding until Hexia made a final bow to bid farewell and then received a slight nod.

After turning around and leaving, Hexia's previously taut heart finally calmed down, and her steps became inexplicably lighter as she walked back to where she came from.

The first time serving a meal to a distinguished guest had ended successfully, and thankfully, this guest hadn't made any additional requests or inquiries. Otherwise, she would have been truly flustered.

After Hexia left, the noblewoman added two light pink cubes to her drink with a spoon, held it gently, and took a slow sip, savoring the taste before setting it down. She glanced at the note pressed under the bouquet, making out the name on it.

"Dantalion, a newcomer, huh..."

As Hexia was serving the meal, she had realized that this was a new maid; after all, the technique was quite raw, and in the end, there was a moment of hesitation about where to put the note. Although it looked somewhat clumsy, it was strangely endearing. As someone of her age who had experienced much, her mentality had long since become calm, and she was simply intrigued by watching Hexia's fumbling.

After returning, "Huale" eagerly asked Hexia, "How was it, did everything go smoothly?"

"Yes, mostly smooth, no surprises," the girl nodded.

"Hehehe, well done, Dantalion~" She gave a thumbs up, and then they both got busy again.

The two spent the morning in such a busy yet fulfilling way until after 11 o'clock when they slowly began to relax and have some free time.

"Here you go, Dantalion," Huale passed Hexia a cup of the prepared beverage, its snow-white liquid scattered with fine stars of crystalline sand, very beautiful.

"Who's this for?" Hexia asked reflexively.

"This is for you. We're not so busy now, have something to drink and replenish yourself."

Hexia took the drink, gave it a gentle shake and a close look, and as she did, Huale explained with a smile.

"This is a T4 ranked beverage, Xue Xing Sha, refreshing and fatigue-relieving, good for refreshing the spirit and soothing the nerves."

T4 ranked beverages all have transcendent effects. If they are said to have certain uses, then they truly do, and are not like the exaggerated claims of ancient times.

"Thank you, Sister Huale."

Hexia sat at an inside seat of the bar, cradling the beverage and tasting it in small sips, her legs gently swinging. A sweet taste mixed with the stimulation of the Cold Crystal tantalized her taste buds and soon her tense nerves relaxed considerably.

"How about a nap?" Huale suggested, seeing Hexia with her eyes closed, rejuvenating herself.

"That doesn't seem right, after all, it is work time," the girl opened her eyes and shook her head, her large butterfly bow at the back of her head swaying with the motion.

"At this time, you can take a nap in the spot under the bar where customers can't see you. I'll wake you up at 12 o'clock."

After a moment's hesitation, Hexia felt that sleeping during work hours was not good practice. But she couldn't resist the sleepiness that was overwhelming her. If she continued to feel like this in the afternoon, then...

In the end, she decided to follow Huale's advice and lay down at the table under the bar, resting her head on her arms to nap.

Seeing her quickly falling into dreamland, her gray hair moving slightly with her breathing, Huale smiled.

It seems she really didn't sleep well, this child.

Approaching midday, the wind chimes inside the bar gently swayed with the circulating currents of air, producing a soft, clear sound, while below them, the girl slept quietly and peacefully through her nap as time quietly slipped away.
