Chapter 25

Mondstadt's Anemo Archon actually wants to work here as an employee?

Aren't you afraid of being laughed at once your identity is exposed?

In response,

Venti said there was nothing to worry about.

The one working is Venti—what does that have to do with me, Barbatos?

"System, can this request be approved?"

Han Feng asked the system.

He wasn't sure whether Venti's proposal would work, since the previous rules had been set by the system.

"It can, but limited to one person!"

Seeing the system's reply, Han Feng had a clear idea in his mind.

Although thanks to Lumine, a few customers had been drawn in,

they were all Mondstadt's higher-ups.

The Worry-Free Bookshop's reputation had so far only spread within a small circle.

That wasn't going to help Han Feng complete his reception task.

Although this guy Venti didn't always do proper work, his singing skills were still decent.

And he had a certain degree of fame.

If he were the one to promote the shop, it might really bring in quite a few customers.

Just think—one of the Seven Archons, the Anemo Archon himself, personally promoting the shop.

Heh, sounds pretty good!

Han Feng had already made up his mind, but he wasn't going to agree so easily.

He had to make this guy put in the work!

"Fine, but for now you can only be a temporary employee. If your promotional results aren't good, you'll have to pay to read the manga."

"Of course, no one tells stories better than me—leave it to me. Thanks, boss."

Seeing Han Feng agree, Venti's face was full of smiles.

Finally, he could read manga!

"Eh?! You can do that too?!"

Paimon and Lumine exchanged glances.

That's it? He succeeded?

Clearly, they were the ones who came first.

And they were the ones who brought customers first.

Why was it that in the end this guy didn't have to pay?!

"After all, I'm Mondstadt's most famous bard—a little preferential treatment is only fitting, no?"

Venti raised an eyebrow at Paimon.

Paimon was very unhappy.

"You really are annoying. I've decided to give you a nickname—then… then I'll call you the Singing Bard!"

Thinking about how this guy could save 100,000 Mora every day, Paimon felt a pang of heartache.

That was enough for her to eat so many delicious meals.

"Alright, go read the manga. The manga's on the bookshelf, but you can only read one volume a day."

Han Feng cut in.

"Understood!"

Venti walked to the bookshelf, took a look, turned around in confusion and asked, "Boss, which manga is 【Gourmet Tablecloth】 from?"

"It's from 'Doraemon,' but it hasn't come out yet."

Han Feng sat back in his chair and shook his head.

After all that fuss, he was just like Paimon—here for that gadget too.

"I see."

Venti nodded, not disappointed either.

There would be plenty of chances later; he could just wait slowly.

After deliberating for a while, Venti finally chose 'Digimon Season 1.'

This should be the most recently released manga; it looked like it should be quite interesting.

Meanwhile.

After leaving the alley, Barbara finally arrived at the Knights of Favonius.

"Hey, when Little Sis sees this, Sis is sure to be surprised, right?"

Barbara looked at the Yukimora in her arms, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Then she hurriedly walked inside.
