Chapter 122 – I Was Surprised on the First Day, but Thanks for Coming to See Me, Becky.

“There was a time when I thought…”

“Huh? “What was there?”

“Oh, no, boss! Hehe♥ I’ve finished subdividing the beans and roasting them!”

It’s been six months since I got a job at the boss’ café.

Six months was more than enough time to turn me, who had never worked part-time in my life, into a seasoned veteran café employee.

“Good job. “After all, it’s Becky.”

“Peuhihi♥”

I was an outstanding employee to the point where I received a warm smile and praise from my boss.

Huh, until six months ago, I never even imagined that this would happen.

Six months was hardly a long time when you really think about it, but it was enough to have an impact on at least one person’s life.

To the point where I gave up on the original goal, which was to seduce the boss and make him unable to live without me, and then use the boss to make the three people who fell in love with him betray the association.

Of course, the thought of seducing the boss was still there, but it was clear that he was no longer concerned about war or anything like that.

The reason why I was so obsessed with war, destruction of the system, and revolution was simply to have more.

In the world I lived in, everything was lacking and everything was weak, so the people who continued their lives there were always starving.

This was the same for me too, so I was always hungry.

What I was trying to do was simply a war to satisfy that endless hunger that could not be appeased at all even though I became the empress of the underworld.

That was the reason why my eyes were turned to the fact that I lost all my assets and became penniless.

Because I have endless greed, there is no way I could tolerate losing something that was mine without meaning.

But after living with the boss, that became meaningless.

If only the boss was next to me, if only the boss could smile at me and I could smile at the boss, and we could continue our peaceful daily lives, I would give a shit about the world.

“Then, let’s serve the bread we baked for the first time today to Becky, who did her job perfectly.”

While I was thinking that, the owner brought out freshly baked bread from the oven with a bright smile that was so dazzling that I had to frown the moment I saw it.

“It will end soon, so please wait a moment, Becky.”

“Yes, I will wait.”

Apply melted butter, cut the bread in half, put it back in the oven and bake it once more, then sprinkle the fresh cream and maple syrup on the golden brown bread.

The owner’s special honey bread made with freshly baked bread, made in an instant.

“Thank you always. Becky.”

The owner once again smiled brightly, touched my heart, and handed me a tray filled with honey bread with a very sweet thank you.

“I’m thankful too…♥”

In front of the owner’s smile and the bread he made himself, I became nothing more than an ordinary woman who fell in love with someone without an answer.

“Eat deliciously.”

“Net♥”

Honey bread was placed on the table where I sat, and the owner sat on the chair across from me and looked at me expectantly.

The appearance of golden brown, well-cooked bread, the savory and sweet smell that permeates your nasal passages, and even the crunchy sound you hear when you gently scrape the outside with a fork and knife.

The owner’s honey bread instantly captivated the eyes, nose, and ears and had the power to make people happy even though they had not tasted it yet.

But the happiness I feel now is just a taste.

The power of the owner’s bread and the happiness brought by the owner’s cooking began now.

Crunchy.

I cut the crispy, well-baked bread with a knife and put the pieces into my mouth.

“Hap.”

As the honey bread was cut into pieces to make it easier to eat, it fully conveyed its original texture and taste, and I felt as if my whole body was melting from the savory, sweet, and warm taste of the honey bread that filled my mouth.

The ecstasy of taste that I have never felt before eating any other delicacy, and the happiness brought by the transcendental taste created by the owner’s dexterity that even I could not fathom, was new every time.

However, even the happiness resulting from this ecstatic taste was just a taste compared to what was to come.

“I had a good meal…”

The owner’s honey bread was too much for an ordinary adult woman to eat alone, but fortunately, I was an awakened person, not an ordinary adult woman, so it wasn’t a task for me to finish this guy’s honey bread by myself.

Ever since I found out that the owner really likes emptying his plate, I have always finished his meals like this.

“How was it? Was it delicious?”

When I said that I had a good meal, the boss looked at me with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety today, just like always.

Expectation for the answer that it is delicious and anxiety for the answer that it is not delicious.

“It was delicious! So naturally!”

Naturally, the answer I chose was the former, which came from my heart.

“Really? “Thank goodness.”

The owner’s food is always delicious, so even though he replied that it was always delicious, the owner expressed relief by sweeping his heart out as if he was genuinely anxious.

I guess that’s why I’m always able to make such delicious food because I constantly doubt my own skills.

As I was trying to express my respect for the boss’s reaction, I suddenly saw the boss’s hand reaching towards my head.

Oh, here it comes! Come! Something terrible is coming that always turns the chef’s skills, know-how, and affection into just ordinary dishes!

That hand was the protagonist of what I had been waiting for so long, what would happen after eating honey bread.

I prepared my mind several times while looking at the boss’s hand reaching out at a very subtle speed, which was very slow by my standards as an awakened person.

Well, let’s calm down for now. Today, just for today, I’m going to enjoy it with all my sanity. I must use the mistakes I have made so far as a stepping stone and not fail again.

If I don’t do this, I won’t be able to handle what will happen in the future, so I swallowed dry saliva and prepared for the hand that I have experienced several times over the past half year.

When I finished preparing my mind, the boss’ big, warm, and very reassuring hand was placed on my head.

Swoosh.

“Thank you, Becky. “Thank you for enjoying the meal today.”

“Hiiiiing♥♥♥”

The boss’s caress, which I had been so wary of, prepared for, and waited for, was the beginning of true happiness.

If you have that handsome face and a bright smile on your face and your head is patted with amazing techniques that come from a level of dexterity that the boss can’t even fathom, no matter how much you brace yourself, it will be of no use.

Yes. This time, my plan to fully enjoy the boss’s caress with all my sanity failed as soon as I started.

“Heaaaaa♥ hehe♥”

A complete defeat that has no choice but to be acknowledged, a complete overwhelm that leaves no room for excuses.

The idea that I, the empress of the underworld, would admit defeat to the petting of an F-class awakened person who was no better than an ordinary person was so absurd that anyone who heard it could dismiss it as nonsense, but unfortunately, it was true.

And this, everything the boss gave me today, this daily life that I experienced almost every day for half a year, was the reason why I was able to give up the war.

“Ehehehe♥”

I didn’t know it was this warm and pleasant until I met the boss.

Everything I had worked so hard to accumulate was worthless compared to the daily life I was enjoying now.

The smile of the boss who greets me when I come to work, the praise he gives me when I successfully complete a task, the bread that tastes so good, and even the caress that makes me feel like I’m flying.

Having the boss as my boss and spending my daily life with him gave me a satisfaction I had never known before, and ever since I met the boss, I have never felt hungry.

The F-class awakened person in front of me perfectly filled this hunger in my heart that no treasure could fill.

Following someone worth following is truly a happy thing…♥

When I realized once again how safe and comfortable it is to follow someone, the boss who was happily stroking my head suddenly opened his mouth and said.

“······Well, I don’t think I could do it without you, Becky. Where can you find an employee like this who works well, laughs well, eats well, and is so cute? “On the first day I met you, I never imagined it would turn out like this.”

“Hmm… I’m the boss…♥”

And what warmed my heart the most about my relationship with my boss was that he needed me just as much as I did.

The relationship between me and my boss was literally a relationship of interdependence, a perfect human relationship that could never be broken because we both needed each other.

I really liked the perfect relationship where no one could interfere and no one could interfere.

As long as I had the boss by my side, as long as I had this daily life with the boss, as long as we could spend our days alone, I didn’t need anything else.

Of course, later on, when you become closer to your boss, get married, and want a more harmonious family, you might want to have children… But that’s for later! Right now, I’m just enjoying this moment so much! Let’s think about the child then!

At a time when I was picturing a happy future with my boss in my head, the boss said something that signaled the end of the petting that he hoped would last forever.

“I was surprised the first day, but thanks for coming to see me, Becky.”

What the boss says every day when the morning snack time is over.

Those words, thanking me for coming to him, were like a proposal, and even though I heard them every day, they touched me so much that I didn’t feel sad about the end of the stroke.

“Ahh… Thank you for accepting me too, boss.”

“Haha. Now, let’s open the store soon!”

At my shy answer, the owner smiled like a cartoon boy, got up and started turning on the store lights one by one.

As I looked at the back, I thought.

I will never forgive anyone who ruins the daily lives of my boss and I.

Yes, even if the opponents are those three.
