The next day.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just as the sun was rising, Arnold Ray was awakened by the knocking sound from outside. He trembled slightly and got up, walking to the door and opening it.

"Xiao... Sister Huizi."

Arnold Ray thought that it must be Mute Girl XiaoQi who had come, but he found a white-haired woman, Ryuzaki Keiko, standing outside the door.

She had her eyes closed, towering over Arnold Ray by two heads. Among women, she was considered tall. She had to lower her head to look at Arnold Ray.

...Of course, it might be more appropriate to say that she was facing Arnold Ray, rather than "looking" at him.

And whenever she appeared, the atmosphere around her became extremely cold.

Arnold Ray remembered that she was a member of the East Spirit Soul Ghost Tribe, a tribe he had never heard of before. The regular Red Demon Tribe, a fierce and mighty race of giants, was already just a part of history and textbooks.

After all, such a race that posed a great threat to the human tribe had long been eradicated.

"From today onwards, you are under my responsibility, and you will start working. Follow me," Ryuzaki Keiko said coldly, her sentences short and concise. After speaking, she turned around and prepared to walk away, not even waiting for Arnold Ray's answer.

"Oh..." Arnold Ray responded.

"Are you planning to work in these tattered clothes?" But Ryuzaki Keiko stopped after taking a few steps, turned her head to give Arnold Ray a stern look, then continued walking.

"Oh..."

To be honest, Arnold Ray no longer wanted to complain about how a blind girl could see his attire so clearly.

Perhaps it was another kind of superpower? Anyway, Arnold Ray didn't feel any discomfort in Mute Girl XiaoQi's life due to her blindness. On the contrary, she walked more steadily than anyone else.

At this moment, he was wearing a relatively intact and clean but old and oversized gray T-shirt. The patterns on it had worn off, and he felt like he was wearing a dress.

He turned around and ran back to his room, took off his clothes, and changed into a set of small-sized waiter uniforms. Then he immediately limped out, following Ryuzaki Keiko's footsteps.

-

Without hesitation, Ryuzaki Keiko brought Arnold Ray to a small bridge outside the women's bath, then handed him a broom and said coldly, "First, clean the area around the shop."

"Oh..." Arnold Ray quietly accepted the broom and responded softly.

"At six o'clock, come back to the front desk and find me. And clean properly, I'll come to inspect later."

After saying that, Ryuzaki Keiko was ready to turn around and leave, but after taking a few steps, she stopped and returned to Arnold Ray's side.

"May I ask... is there anything else?" Arnold Ray asked cautiously.

"Oh, right, there's this. It was made for you by the boss lady yesterday."

Ryuzaki Keiko reached into her pocket and took out a pair of old-fashioned round black glasses, a small size that seemed to be for children.

"What is this..."

Arnold Ray took it, and in the same instant, he could feel the magical fluctuations coming from the round-framed glasses.

This was a pair of enchanted glasses...

"Your eyes are not accepted by ordinary people. These glasses can mask the color of your pupils, and it's not just a visual illusion, but it fundamentally changes the color of your eyes," Ryuzaki Keiko explained.

"..."

Arnold Ray looked down at the round-framed glasses, silent.

He didn't want to wear them. Red eyes might represent war to others, but to him, they were memories.

However...

To survive here, he indeed needed to erase these red eyes that symbolized punishment for ordinary citizens."I got it," Arnold Ray said. After hesitating for a moment, he put on the round-framed glasses and instantly his blood-red pupils changed, becoming ordinary black pupils.

Just as Hui Zi had said, it wasn't an optical illusion caused by the lenses. Even if you looked at Arnold Ray's eyes from the side, they appeared to be ordinary black pupils.

Although he didn't know the spell principle behind this, it was not impossible if it was a rare void magic.

...After all, the owner of Blue Fox was able to use void magic to make beauty potions, so changing the color of his eyes was not a big deal.

"Kid, work well," Ryuzaki Keiko said before returning to the store.

"...Work well," Arnold Ray muttered as he watched her walk away. He couldn't help but smile and pick up the broom and shovel to start sweeping the dust off the small arched bridge.

It was clear that this blind girl Hui Zi was the type of person who would give newbies a lesson on how to behave properly so that they would listen and behave in the future.

But Arnold Ray didn't feel wronged at all. On the contrary, he felt happy.

After all... being able to work diligently under the sun like this already made him satisfied.

Sweeping the floor was nothing, was it?

So, Arnold Ray quickly and diligently cleaned the small arched bridge and the ship deck around the women's bathhouse. In less than half an hour, he finished the job.

Then, he walked cautiously back to the front desk of the women's bathhouse...

"Finished?" Ryuzaki Keiko sat at the front desk and, sensing Arnold Ray's arrival, asked indifferently.

"Yeah," Arnold Ray replied.

"So fast? You didn't slack off, did you? Should I go check?"

"I definitely didn't slack off."

"I'll trust you this time... Wait, let me go see if it's really clean."

Ryuzaki Keiko casually said as she took out a plastic bag from under the front desk and handed it to Arnold Ray.

"What's this?" Arnold Ray asked confusedly.

"This is breakfast. Find a place outside and eat it quickly. I'll take you to inspect all the facilities in the store later."

"Oh... thank... thank you, Sister Hui."
