Levi's Intimacy story

What's the pay for part-time work here?

Ahh, "goodness of their hearts"? People here work like a "family," right? Places like this are a dime a dozen.

Lawful, aren't you? Well, glad to see you're honest.

Hmm... Are you stringing me along? I'm not that capable of a witch to name my own price or anything. Don't try to scam me!

Sprites... Witches... Werebeasts... Elves...? Why do they all hate each other?

Understand each other? The moment pay is exchanged, you have a natural vested interest in one another!

You want me to work with you? Are you gonna pay me? If not, don't bother asking.

Sprites? I don't mind them. The only ones I hate are employers who run away without paying me my wages.

I'm not used to being treated so well. I feel weird every time I come here.

I know it's not a big deal. Like I said, I'm just not used to this.

*Sob...* Is this what societal warmth feels like? You're not going to spring a nasty surprise on me later and give me a whole bunch of bills, are you?

So this is the bitter taste of harsh reality. It's true... nothing in the world is free.

Witch Kingdom is way too brutal. I want to live as leisurely as the sprites do.

What about all the work I'm doing? It's not like you are going to take responsibility for them.

If you're at the top, there's a lot of great things. The problem is that I'm at the bottom. I swear I'll make my way up there one day.

But... if I don't work, I can't make a living. I don't want to end up out on the streets.

What do I have to do to be well off without having to work?

It's only impossible because you think it is! I can dream, can't I?

Begging for money is a full-time job. I said I didn't want to work. Geez, you're clueless!

Um... where do you live, Master? Can I have your address, please?

It's always hard to deal with obnoxious customers. Do you have to deal with any here?

I have a feeling it's the same one who always comes to the shop I work at... Keep your spirits high, Master.

Sure. If such self-rationalization makes you feel better, go ahead.

They say the customer is king, though? Can we do that? Running a business is so tough.

How can I increase my wages?

Wow, that's some constructive, yet hollow advice.

Ugh... this luck-driven world...! You even have to work on developing your luck!

Flattery only works once or twice. Doing it too often can backfire.

Since I'm a customer here... you think I can go on a power trip just once?

I wanted to feel superior for once...

Ugh! What's with the food in this garbage dump?! Let me speak to your manager and have them tear this dump down! Now!

Master...! Why is life so hard?

If I keep working hard, I'll become a regular full-time employee someday, right?

I don't wanna hear the truth! Just tell me what I want to hear! Waaah!

*Sob* Thank you! On that note, would you like to hire a full-time employee, boss?

The thought of her saying no would be too much for me to handle mentally... s-so, I've decided not to ask!

I want to work in moderation and find a decent level of happiness in life. Why does it feel like such a challenge?"

If I do that, I'll end up taking on everything! I'll collapse from overwork!

Ugh, that's what a patronizing person would say. If I worked every day, I'd be too busy to feel thankful!

Can I do that? Okay, I'll give it a go! I'll start by slacking off on the errands you give me!

Ugh... I don't wanna work. What should I do...?

If I could do that, I wouldn't have said what I just said in the first place!

Hmm... In that case, would you mind covering my shift today?

*Sob...* Let's eat something delicious and cheer each other up...

What do you do when you wanna slack off at work, Master?

I've used fake doctor's notes too often, so I don't think I can pull that trick anymore. *Sob*

Oh! Just doing the bare minimum before casually dumping the work on someone else? I'm pretty good at that!

Huh? You mean you don't slack off at all? Don't be pretentious!

Master! Who's the most memorable customer you've ever had in the banquet hall?

Huh? Really? I find difficult customers the most memorable... Don't tell me I was the difficult one?

You remember every single customer? Just how few customers do you have?! Now I'm jealous...

I can't forget that one customer who devoured 150 fried carrots, that's for sure... Even if it's factory-prepped, it's still food I personally handled.

When will I ever escape from being a low-ranked witch? *Sigh*

Master... You didn't have to be so blunt about that! Waaah!

I know it's just empty words, but still, that's nice to hear. Hehe...

...You're just stating the obvious. I'm not sure what to say.

Picora can be surprisingly ambitious. Why does she aim for such lofty goals?

That's... true. It's not like dreaming costs any money.

No, thanks. There's nothing better than the steady joy of reaching small goals!

Well... She's kind of a weirdo, y'know. I can't imagine living such an exhausting life.

I have no choice but to pull an all-nighter today, but I'm so sleepy... What should I do?

I don't want to pull all-nighters forever...

No! Don't tempt me! I have a pile of overdue theses...

Well... Having someone to talk to would certainly make me less sleepy!

What kind of customers usually come here? Part-time jobs can get harder or easier depending on who you're dealing with.

Ah... so you're going through the same pain I am. Nothing's ever easy, is it? Stay strong.

You can make canned food, too? You've got more skills than I thought. This is why it's great to be a jack of all trades.

No wonder the banquet hall was reeking of sugar... You should probably get some ventilation going.

Ms. Posher gave me a new potion as a gift, but I have no idea what it does.

Oh... Would you like to try it, Master? I'm suddenly feeling a bit queasy...

Huh? But this is what I got instead of getting paid for yesterday. Who's going to compensate me for the day I lost, then? Will you do it, Master?

Hmm, alright. Nothing was ever wrong with Ms. Posher's potions... I think?

I want to escape this repetitive life of doing the same part-time jobs... Maybe it's time to look for a new one?

That's not a bad idea. Learning something new is also a kind of labor, after all.

I'm not that choosy with jobs, but... just thinking about it alone drains my energy.

Oh... you're right. I think I've just gotten used to being a part-timer and nothing more.

Is there any sweet gig where you don't have to do anything to get paid?

I know, I know. But just the hope that there might be one out there somewhere is enough to keep me going.

...Mind if I act like one of those angry customers who cause a scene?

Oh! Shall we write an employment contract in advance so that you don't backpedal later?
