Chapter 226 – This Is a Total Scam!
One.
Bubbling bubbling
While the water in the coffee pot was boiling, I received a manual explaining what kind of service Mr. Rabbit had.
Mr. Rabbit handed me the manual and said, ‘It’s been three months since I made it! For the first time since opening, I finally got one less manual, Emme!’ And the super pretty older sister, called Emme, looked at the rabbit boss with a soft smile on her lips as if she were cute.
However, unlike the smile on her lips and the eyes dripping with honey, Eme… Older sister. Yes, Emma unnie said, ‘Yeah. Congratulations, Mr. Rabbit. There are now 2999 chapters left.”
At that, Mr. Rabbit shrugged his shoulders, saying, ‘You don’t have to tell me how many copies are left, but…’.
······This is kind of fun.
The conversation between the two, like a well-organized conte, was subtly interesting, so I was staring blankly at the two without reading the manual, but my eyes met the sullen rabbit boss.
Soon after, Mr. Rabbit’s eyes flashed with light as he was looking at me, and he raised his stretched shoulders again and confidently said that of course that would be the case.
“······Okay! Ame, because our guest promoted it well to his friends, the rest of the instructions will go out! It’s starting now! Something very big is coming!”
What?
Seduced by the fact that all services are half price, I came in without knowing it, but I hadn’t even signed the contract yet.
However, the rabbit boss said as if I was satisfied with the service, and even promoted it to my friends. As my only friend was ‘Tella’, who had recently become a pupa after crawling on the flower bed, I was embarrassed.
“That’s right, guest! Promotion······! Rumor······! I love the Pastor Office…! You’ll tell me…!”
“Yes?!”
The rabbit boss, who put his hands on the desk in the middle of the hospitality sofa and pushed his upper body to close the distance at once, looked at me with eyes that felt like madness and asked me growlingly.
‘What kind of favor do you make like a threat like this? Isn’t this just a threat?!
Rabbit boss… You’re very earnest. Well, since I said I was the first guest in three months. In a way, it might be natural for people to look crazy like this…
The earnestness of the rabbit boss was obviously sincere. He was looking at me now like a rope of salvation coming down from heaven.
Those eyes look like my grandmother, who lives only for me, so I decided to endure the burden of Mr.
“Will you do it, sir? I, I will do really well. We will treat you with the best service that no customer has ever received… Please take good care of us…!”
“Mr. Rabbit, but this customer is the first customer, isn’t it a bit ugly to wrap the words with the prefix ‘no customer received’?”
“Joe, be quiet, Ame! What should I do if I say such an incendiary thing when it is not enough to help? Really!”
“But how can you not tease Mr. Rabbit when the feeling of hitting is so good?”
“Oh little! Amy please! Oops it’s done I don’t know. I will ignore it.”
While I looked at Grandma and Mr. Rabbit, the Mr. Rabbit, who had taken another conte, turned his head away from Ame and looked at me, as if he was being squeamish.
Seeing that, it seemed to me that I could understand to some extent what Eme said just now, ‘How can you not tease when the hitting feels so good?’.
Mr. Rabbit…Something is very comfortable. Even though we’re seeing each other for the first time today, normally we should cover our faces and keep a little distance, but without even realizing it, the boundaries are broken. What the hell is a rabbit boss?
He thought he became afraid of people because of the many hardships he went through at the academy, but for some reason he wasn’t afraid of Mr. Rabbit.
When I think about it again, when I first opened the door to this office, I think my heart skipped a beat because I was startled by the unexpected and embarrassing sight, not because I was afraid.
Why aren’t you scared? It’s the first time I’ve seen it, and I’m just screaming and struggling… Something. I’d say it doesn’t look dangerous at all.
Yes, Mr. Rabbit was like a cute rabbit just like his title.
A harmless, cute, fluffy bunny that you want to tease for no reason.
While the people I feared so far arm themselves with jagged and rough armor, Mr. Rabbit reveals his weakness without hesitation.
Strong reactions such as intense struggles or loud shouts that I sometimes see are extensions of my weakness, so I didn’t feel scared.
After thinking that far, a small anxiety rose in my chest for a moment.
Uh, what should I do? If you’re like Mr. Rabbit, you might want to get close. It shouldn’t be like this. If I was complacent like this and just signed the contract, I could get hit in the back of the head…
“Hey, sir, don’t pay attention to what Emma says. First of all, I’ll explain what kind of service I have, so please listen to it and ask any questions you have. If you don’t like it and don’t want to sign up… Then, if that happens, you’ll be really sad, but it can’t be helped, but if you still show some generosity… Ugh, I’m sorry. I just said something that puts a burden on me… If you don’t like it, feel free to say it and get up…”
“I will.”
“Yes?”
“Ah?! Well, that’s not it, over there… I meant standing there, listening to explanations! Come on, explain please!”
When I saw Mr. Rabbit grow sullen imagining ‘when I didn’t want to sign a contract because I didn’t like the service’, the word that I signed a contract came out without my knowledge.
Fortunately, I removed the word ‘contract’ and only said ‘I’ll do it’, so even if it was a little awkward, I was able to manage it, but at the end of the day, I almost volunteered for a hukou.
It’s a big deal. From the moment I thought the rabbit boss was like a rabbit, I can only see him that way! What to do I feel cute and pitiful for a grown man I’ve never seen before…!
I didn’t know that if I didn’t really wake up, it might further spur me into a difficult situation.
The rabbit boss doesn’t seem like that kind of person, but my eyes aren’t 100% super objective, and my insight isn’t that exceptional, so I couldn’t rule out the possibility that he was acting.
But can I, who can’t be bothered with cute things, survive Mr. Rabbit’s pitiful and cute briefing session? Can we make a firm decision after listening to all the explanations and weighing the pros and cons in a cool-headed way?
Anxiety that seemed impossible came creeping up on me, but all I could do now was to straighten my mind.
Yes, keep your mind straight. Let’s not be possessed. From now on, Mr. Rabbit is the best actor in the world and he is trying to deceive me. Don’t be fooled by the appearance, just listen to the explanation and judge whether it’s good or not. I’m just trying my best
Just as I gritted my teeth, opened my eyes straight, and armed my mind in my own way, Mr. Rabbit began to explain.
“First of all, this is the product I would like to recommend the most to our customers in our dungeon rescue insurance. It’s not really popular… It’s not very popular, actually, I’m recommending it to customers for the first time…”
Mr. Rabbit tried hard to explain, but he suddenly became depressed and sullen by himself, and his shoulders drooped.
Seeing that, I opened my mouth to comfort him, even though Mr. Rabbit must be older than me.
“Ah… That, that’s right…”
However, all the people close enough to comfort me in my life have long since moved away, and all the conversations I’ve had with someone for the past three years have been unilaterally abusive language, so I’ve only been able to comfort myself by saying nothing.
But Mr. Rabbit, after hearing something around my lousy consolation, casually shook his head, cheered himself up by himself, and then opened his twinkling eyes and looked at me.
“But I still think it’s great! If customers also listen to the description of this product, there are all of these! Should I sign up right away? You might think! Although no one has ever heard of this explanation!Haha!”
Wow! It’s cute and pitiful, but it’s a hindrance!
A 20-year-old Nastel, a student at the academy, the world’s best institution for fostering awakened people, and about to take her graduation exam.
I had a feeling that today would be the biggest hurdle in my life.

“This concludes the explanation of our products! How are you, guest? Anything you like?”
After explaining the various products that lasted for about 30 minutes, Mr. Rabbit looked at me with eyes sparkling with anticipation and said, ‘How is it! Awesome our product! I want to join, so my mouth is itching to death!”
In response to that question, I opened my mouth a few times, then evaded Mr. Rabbit’s gaze and spat out the words with difficulty.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
To be honest, everything Mr. Rabbit explained was so absurd that no matter how cute I was, I could only think of it as a scam.
That’s why I declined with an apology, but the boss put on a blank expression as if he didn’t know if it would be rejected.
“······To?”
After a while, he asked me in a trembling voice, holding the longing in his eyes that had been hidden by expectations.
“Why, why why, uh, why you don’t want to join… W, may I ask?”
I was forced to close my eyes tightly and explain the reason for the refusal at the voice mixed with half asking because I was really curious and half wanting to miss the customer.
“Yeah, that’s it! It makes no sense! If you press the beeper button issued when you enter a dungeon and are in danger, regardless of what type of dungeon it is, you will move to the space and come to the rescue. How can you believe that! In the first place, since the inside and outside of the dungeon are completely different dimensions, signals cannot be sent out, and the ability to move space is also difficult to use properly even in the real world where mana interference is low because there are so many variables that need to be calculated. Are you coming in? That’s… That’s…!”
I breathed in and shouted out the words I didn’t want to say but that I must say in order to become a great Awakener and live a proud life.
“This is a total scam!”
