Chapter 65:

The town of Edoma is a small country town located in the north of the mainland, called Panotti. The people of this country are the rare multi-ethnic system nation established by sub-orcs and aliens on this continent. Although there is a nominal royal king, Panotti is mainly managed by a system of lords of different races and joint management.
Since Panotti’s special geographical location is not suitable for occupation by aggression/invasion, and there are no enviable mineral resources and wealth in the country, the surrounding big countries usually do not spend extra troops to capture this area. A land of value, so Panotti is also very rare, a place of peace that has not been affected by war.
'Jingle Bell--'
The wind chimes hanging at the door made a clear and pleasant sound, which made you a little sleepy awakened immediately, stood up quickly, and raised a gentle and sweet smile to the guests standing at the door.
"This guest, what do you need to buy... Huh, Mr. Distint?"
After seeing the tall and slender figure standing in the doorway wearing heavy armor, you raised your hand to cover your lips in surprise, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't you have returned to the main city of Batona a few days ago?"
The incoming person turned his dark golden non-human vertical pupils, his eyes slowly falling on your face.
"New mission." It seems that he doesn't speak often. The other party's voice is a bit dark and rough, but the tone is extremely gentle and polite.
It is like a fierce and cruel beast trying to constrict its claws and approach a delicate and delicate rose.
He walked forward a few steps, the backlit shadows faded from his body little by little, and the sunlight falling into the shop from the window shattered on the guests' maroon fine scales and the slender and tall bodies resembling upright lizards. Non-human lips and face, as well as limbs covered with dense scales and claws, appear in front of you one by one.
This guest is a lizard man.
The first time you saw such a terrifying non-human magical creature, you were so scared that you fell directly to the ground. You thought you would be eaten by this monster, but you saw this one with a red rock-like brown The scaly lizardman hesitated for a moment, and then asked you if you needed help in a gentle gentleman's tone that was the opposite of the shocking appearance.
Hearing your screams, the rabbit shop manager who hurried down from upstairs saw him, opened his three-lobed mouth with his hips akimbo and gave you a bad breath, and then took yours for granted. Part of the salary.
The store manager who hired you is a very stingy, greedy and face-saving rabbit. More than two months ago, he found you in a coma in the forest on the way to purchase the goods. After picking you back, he found that you had nothing but your own name. I don’t remember anything. The shop manager Rabbit hires you as his employee at a salary lower than half of the market price on the grounds that you have to repay his life-saving grace.
At that time, penniless, nowhere to go, and amnesia, you have no other choice but to agree to his terms.
Fortunately, although the rabbit shop manager was stingy, he didn't treat you badly. Not only did he provide you with free accommodation, but he stared at him fiercely every day and forced you to eat as much as possible, so as not to be caught by outsiders. Thought he was abusing/treating you.
For the duplicity and stingy rabbit shop manager who often finds all kinds of reasons to deduct your wages, although occasionally feel a little helpless, but you are still very grateful for everything he has given you.
Later, you learned from other guests that Mr. Rabbit used to have a very happy and happy family, but because he was too petty, his daughter and wife left him. After his wife and daughter left, the rabbit shop His long temper became more and more weird and irritable. In addition, he refused to pay a little more for his life and death. Even his employees refused to do anything for him. They left his grocery store to find another living.
So the rabbit shop manager, who has been working hard to run this grocery store by himself, found you who had lost his memory, and he didn't hesitate to ask you to do things for him.
You are surprised to find that in this small town, there are almost no human figures. Even the customers who come to the store to buy things are all different races with all kinds of strange characteristics, afraid that you will expose your human identity, the rabbit. The store manager also specially asked someone to order you a very realistic rabbit ears and tail props, and lied that you were his distant niece to hide the fact that you are a human being.
Although the rabbit shop manager did not directly explain, you can also vaguely feel that this town does not seem to welcome humans.
For your own sake, you are also very careful to avoid close contact with other guests.
"It turned out to be like this." You pursed your lips and smiled, and then asked softly: "Mr. Disint, what do you want to buy today? If you want to find my uncle, he will go to the city to buy goods. It's not in the store for now."
"Ok, I know."
The guest of the lizardman nodded silently. He raised the sharp lizard claws, took out a red gift box from the breastplate and placed it in front of you.
After the box was opened, there was a beautiful hair accessory inlaid with precious red gems.
"This is a thank you gift." He said.
You can't help but froze, and blinked a little blankly.
"Last time I was injured, you helped me. This is a thank you gift."
The lizardman stared at you quietly and intently with those dark golden vertical pupils. He seemed to notice that you didn't like being too close to the guests. Every time he saw you, he would automatically stand a few meters away from you. , This distance just won't cause you pressure, and won't appear too distant.
If it weren't for Mr. Dicking's appearance that is different from ordinary people, you would have thought it was a handsome and considerate gentleman standing in front of you.
"It's just a trivial thing that can be done easily, Mr. Distint doesn't need to spend such extra expense."
At first glance, you know that this gemstone hair accessory is very valuable, you dare not accept it, and you just gave him a bottle of wound medicine before, which is not a help at all.
Besides, you are still very grateful to Mr. Disint who has been taking care of your business. Every time he comes to the store, he will buy a bunch of goods. His consumption alone can match the income of your grocery store for a few days. His unpleasant rabbit shop manager hinted to you in private that every time the lizard-men came to the shop, he must fool him to buy as much as possible.
It’s just that you will feel uneasy in your conscience and you didn’t do it.
"If you don't want it, you can throw it away."
The lizardman, who has always been quite considerate and gentle, said with a slightly tough attitude this time: "This was originally bought for you. If you don't need it, it has no value."
You can't help feeling a little headache and at a loss.
"Well, I'll accept it temporarily. If you regret it later, you can find me to get it back anytime."
You believe that Mr. Disinte’s character must do what he says. Throwing away such beautiful and precious hair accessories as trash, I feel distressed after thinking about it. Although you don’t plan to use it, you can keep it for a while. , And return to him when he needs you.
After seeing you accept the gift, Dickinte’s slightly tight body slowly relaxed. Because of the rare and pleasant mood, he subconsciously obeyed the instinct and spit out the forked slender tongue from the slightly opened mouth. The air quivered slightly.
And after you saw his actions, there was a ghastly similar picture in your mind that flashed by quickly, making you subconsciously widen your pupils, and you couldn't help but retreat several steps.
Noticing that something is wrong with you, Dishint hurriedly stepped forward and greeted worriedly: "Miss May, what's wrong with you?"
This is the first time you have had such close contact with this brown-red scaly lizardman, you almost smelled the wet and sticky smell of cold-blooded creeping creatures emanating from him.
When his palm was about to touch your shoulder, you suddenly regained your senses, looking at his huge/big head and dark golden vertical pupils close at hand, after a horrified cry, you hurriedly hid in the counter Rear.
The palm of the lizard man who was so resistant to approaching by you froze in mid-air. He hung his head a little embarrassed and injured. His sensitive sense of smell caught the faint lingering fragrance from your body that remained in the air and slowly grasped it. He tightened his fists, and gasped for a while with restraint.
"Sorry, Miss May, I scared you just now."
Dishint stepped back a bit and expressed his apologies to you.
Hearing the lizardman’s unconcealed loss and guilt voice, you slowly popped out your head from behind the counter, with slightly red eyes, and a little flustered apologizing: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Distint..."
"I wasn't scared of you just now, I just thought of something bad." You bit your lip to explain.
Disint looked at your expression carefully and carefully, and after confirming that you were not lying, he was relieved.
"Then I can come to the store to buy things in the future?" The tall and slender lizard man stood upright on his legs like a human, arched his back slightly, and cautiously afraid of scaring a butterfly staying on the petals. The tone is asking you tentatively.
You calmed down the inexplicable fear just now, and again showed a friendly and sweet smile at Dishint, "Of course, you are welcome at any time."
After that, Mr. Distint bought a bunch of very expensive goods in the store, only after seeing that he even bought the hat that has been placed in the store as a decoration and decorated with fancy colorful feathers. , You can't help feeling in your heart. You didn't expect that Mr. Distint, who seems calm and mature, has such a strange aesthetic.
After the rabbit shop manager who had purchased the goods in the city returned to the store, he found that his income has skyrocketed today. He was very happy to give you a few copper coins as a reward. Although the money is very small, it is for the stingy rabbit shop manager. , Already considered very generous.
In fact, what you don’t know is that before you came to this store, the shop manager Rabbit’s grocery store business was not good because he didn’t have the patience to run the store. Usually, customers came and didn’t bother to pay attention. If you like to buy or not, customers naturally don't want to come to his store to buy things.
But after coming to him as his nominal niece, the performance of the store has increased several times. After all, in this town where females are generally very strong and fierce, you are as gentle and slender as you. Such a cute girl with rabbit ears is quite popular among males.
Of course, if you don’t realize that you seem to be popular, but sometimes there are some distressed customers. They obviously have to ask questions for a long time just to buy a small item, and there is only you in the store, which often makes you busy. What energy to pay attention to these things.
While eating dinner, the rabbit shop manager suddenly said to you: "May, do you want to go to the city to play?"
Since the land of Panotti is not large, even if starting from a small country town, it only takes half a day to get to the nearest main city back and forth.
You froze for a moment, and then looked at the stingy guy to death with a little surprise, wishing that your boss, who never took a vacation for a month, would take the initiative to make this suggestion. You can't help but wonder if the rabbit store manager in front of you was pretending to be other rabbits.
After all, in addition to being able to stand and walk like a human, Mr. Rabbit's appearance is closer to the state of a complete orc than a Kia orc. Even the entire face is a fluffy rabbit face. When speaking, the three-petal mouth opens and closes. Cute, if you are not afraid of him being angry, you still want to touch his bunny ears.
"You have been working here for a while, and you have been working hard recently. Tomorrow, go to the city to have fun and relax."
The rabbit shop manager said vaguely while chewing on the food: "I heard that some guests and caravans from other countries have been visiting the Lord’s Mansion recently. We can also go and see if we can help from those caravans from other countries. It couldn’t be better to buy rare items here."
So the last sentence is the real purpose.
You sighed helplessly, but you were also quite curious in your heart. After all, you left this town for the first time in the past two months. Maybe you can still meet your human kin in the city.
Thinking of this, you can't help but feel a little nervous expectation and anxiety in your heart.
