(Uru - Blue Farmer)

"…Wait a moment and go downstairs to find Berany, the white-haired sharp-tongued waitress. Ask her to arrange some simple tasks for you. As for other matters, we will discuss them later."

After saying these words, my new boss irresponsibly hurriedly left my room. I watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor, and in my mind, the appearance of the sharp-tongued waitress with white hair vividly appeared. But whenever I recalled the last sentence she said to me, my face turned green...

Hmm, it seems like I have offended my immediate superior before officially entering the workplace.

However, even though my future seems a bit dark, I don't have time to hesitate and worry right now. According to President Aehad's orders, I need to go downstairs and find the white-haired waitress in fifteen minutes. But I haven't showered for two days, although I don't smell anything strange on myself, basic personal hygiene should be maintained out of courtesy, so...

"I must make use of my time!"

I clenched my fists tightly, determined to clean my new body thoroughly!

However!

I don't know if I overestimated the endurance of a thirty-year-old virgin or underestimated the destructive power of a twelve-year-old girl, but I simply cannot complete the entire cleaning process in fifteen minutes while struggling alone in the bathroom. By the time I actually learned the familiar yet unfamiliar life skill of bathing and changing clothes, it was already twenty minutes later.

"I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!"

Frantically, I hurriedly put on the same set of clothes, rushed out of the room, went downstairs, and entered the adventurer guild hall, which had already opened on time. At this moment, the white-haired waitress from last night was also serving a few scattered customers. She had a slender and tall figure and exuded a natural sense of aloofness and nobility in her every move, not like a guild waitress who mingled with the common people.

I carefully observed from the side and followed her into the backstage when she had a moment of free time. When there were no other customers around, I stopped her in her tracks and said, "Please wait! Miss Berany!"

Hearing my call, Berany turned around. When she noticed that it was me who called her, her eyes noticeably changed, from a formal expression to a disdainful one, as if looking at a lowly creature. Undoubtedly, she still remembered what happened last night and still mistook me for a terrible customer who deliberately teased the staff.

"Do you have something to say?" she asked coldly.

Feeling the strong distance between us, I swallowed my saliva, forced myself to remain calm, and reported my identity with composure, trying to imitate the elegant posture of working women. "Hello, I am the new employee, Uru- Blue Farmer. President Aehad ordered me to come and report to you this morning. Since my position has not been determined yet, she instructed you to arrange some simple tasks for me in the meantime."

I straightened my posture, doing my best to mimic the elegant stance of white-collar ladies.

After hearing my introduction, Berany nodded expressionlessly and said in a calm tone, "President Aehad did mention that a new person would come to me. However, although she asked me to arrange some simple tasks for you, I cannot think of any department in our store that is lacking manpower at the moment. In fact, everyone has been quite idle recently."

Thinking of the serene environment in the lobby that could pass for a monastery, I also understood that what Berany said was true.

After a while, Berany looked me up and down a few times and finally came up with a solution. "Then, for today, you can temporarily follow me and learn about Casa do Penedo's operations, okay?"

"Um, I'm willing." I replied.

At this moment, a translucent text window appeared in my field of view.

[System: Congratulations on becoming an apprentice waitress. The skill menu for your profession is officially unlocked!]

What?

What was that just now?

Why can the system forcefully make me take up a job?

Can I change it back in the future?

I am a man who dreams of becoming a swordsman, not spending my whole life as a waitress!

The short notification from the system stirred up a great storm in my heart, but the white-haired waitress in front of me could not understand my dilemma at all. She just left a "follow me" and turned to walk deeper into the backstage. Finally, the two of us arrived at the female employee changing room in the store together.Unlike the imagined women's changing room, the changing room in Casa do Penedo was tidied up very neatly by its users. Combined with the pale-colored magical crystal lamps, the whole room felt comfortable and peaceful. If the employees started their day's work in this well-organized environment, they would surely be able to get into the working mood faster.

"The person in charge here must have put a lot of thought into it, right?" I smiled and expressed my admiration for the changing room to Berany, who was standing beside me. However, she just stared at me deeply for a moment and then immediately turned her face away, pointing to one of the lockers in the room.

"You can use that locker."

She then handed me a set of work uniforms.

"This is your uniform. Try it on to see if it fits."

"Okay."

I accepted the uniform with both hands and walked towards the locker, ready to take off the dusty skirt. However, just as I was about to change, I felt a substantial gaze from behind...

"Senior Berany..."

Blushing, I turned around and looked at the white-haired girl behind me.

Unfortunately, it seemed like Berany didn't feel my embarrassment at all. She continued to stare at me motionlessly, seemingly really prepared to watch the entire process of me changing clothes from beginning to end. Seeing that I had stopped, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the clothes? Are they too big or too small? I can find you a new one."

Berany, who had scolded me like a fly yesterday, seemed more approachable than I had expected. However, her calm and serene blue eyes made it a bit difficult for me to resist. Moreover, since we were both currently in female bodies, if I were to ask her not to watch anymore, it might lead to unnecessary awkwardness. After thinking it over, I decided not to make a fuss about it.

So, I brought out my professionalism and neatly took off my long skirt, fully revealing the two pieces of white underwear hidden underneath. With the mirror above the locker, I could clearly see the white-haired girl behind me still calmly observing as I changed into the uniform. This couldn't help but create a strange feeling in the depths of my heart, and a faint restlessness started to rise in my lower abdomen.

Berany didn't move, and I continued to put on the uniform she had handed me. The uniform consisted of a short-sleeved moon-white blouse with a black bow and a dark gray pleated skirt that reached mid-calf. Overall, although this service staff uniform was slightly simple and plain, it was graceful and elegant, and personally, I thought it was quite pleasant to look at.

"Are you done? Senior, how do you... feel?" Under immense pressure, I ultimately managed to successfully put on this unfamiliar female outfit, but because I really lacked experience in this area, in order to avoid embarrassing myself due to dressing issues, I proactively sought advice from Berany, the professional.

Upon hearing my words, she took a couple of steps forward and reached out towards my chest...

What on earth was happening! My eyes widened in shock, and my heart thumped uncontrollably.

However, the over-the-top scenario I had imagined did not occur. Berany was merely kindly buttoning up the unbuttoned button for me. At the same time, she straightened the black bow on the collar for me. As I sniffed the fragrance emanating from her white hair, my mood became a mix of shame and intoxication. I both wanted her to stay in front of my chest and wanted her to quickly withdraw...

"Um, this is good enough." She looked up and affirmed my attire.

And I affirmed that her calm gaze from below can steal any man's heart.

I lowered my head to look at the azure pupils beneath the white bangs. My heart was about to reach its limit, and my breath was on the verge of suffocation. For the sake of my life, I gently pushed her away and changed the subject, "So, what work do we have later?"
