Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 29: 18 The Songstress's Talent_2

"Dantalion, you're here~ How's your day? I was late this morning, heard Andusia took care of you." She also sat down at the bar, ordering a cool drink.

"I helped Sister Andusia with the flower room in the morning and followed Botis to retrieve venom in the afternoon."

"Retrieve venom?" Belfeng was startled, her voice tinged with panic.

"You didn't get tricked by Botis into that terrifying snake pit of hers, did you?"

"I'm still here, aren't I? Watch your mouth when talking about someone behind their back. Also, why call it a snake pit? There are other animals too, like spiders and frogs." The big sister with emerald hair hugged Hexia from behind, making her slightly flustered as she lay in her arms, and then started to argue with Belfeng.

"Huh, keeping snakes and spiders in such a relaxed and delightful shop. If I were the manager, I'd have been annoyed by now. What if it scares the customers?" Belfeng stood with hands on her hips, her ears perked up, looking dissatisfied with Botis.

"You said it yourself, the manager has agreed, what else do you want to do? Or is it because you, this bunny, are actually afraid of snakes and want to settle personal vendettas?" Botis revealed a mocking smile, which infuriated Belfeng, but she didn't dare to actually start a fight since she was truly scared of snakes.

Watching the two formidable seniors argue in the shop, Hexia felt like she was just a small animal caught in the crossfire, but being held by Botis, she had no chance to escape.

After the two debated for a while and neither could persuade the other, it was Vurowus behind the bar who broke up the fight, silencing Belfeng with a drink through a straw.

"Alright, I won't argue with you, little bunny. Is Hexia coming tomorrow?"

"I can come." Hexia's eyes glanced to the side, hoping to get help from Belfeng, but the bunny was busy typing away on her personal terminal and drinking her beverage, completely oblivious to her.

"Coming is good~ No need to retrieve venom tomorrow; I'll teach you something else." Observing her smile, it seemed she already had a full plan in mind.

Relieved to hear there was no need to retrieve venom, Hexia also breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe it wouldn't be as scary as today.

However, it seemed just like what Botis had said, despite the initial tension, by the end, she really wasn't all that afraid of the spiders and snakes anymore – perhaps that was the power of habit?

Regardless, the pleasant second day of work finally ended, and she was going to have a good sleep once she got home.

After Hexia left, Botis continued sitting at the bar, sipping her rippling red wine, lost in thought about something.

"You've got something on your mind today, staying so late. I'm about to close up." Vurowus cleaned up the bar and came out.

"Indeed, a bit."

"Is it about the new maid 'Dantalion'?"

"Yes. During the day at work, I lent her the bell, and right then, I noticed something was off."

"If an ordinary person shakes that bell, it just triggers a conditioned response in the creatures, making them obedient. But when she shakes that bell, she truly exudes a power that calms the animals and people around her."

"I am more than familiar with that feeling."

"The ability to spread one's own emotions and intentions, infecting others."

"Without a doubt, she will also be a Songstress in the future, and a special one at that."

"At least at her age, I couldn't stretch this ability so effortlessly. Her talent will be at least at the Moon Level, or even at the Sun Level, which isn't impossible."

"As for me, I am now someone who isn't in the spotlight. As for you 'Vurowus,' even though I don't know which family's young mistress you are, you should also understand the value of 'Dantalion.'"

The maid with the silver-trimmed sleeves shook her head, "I may come from a great family, but do you think someone cherished as an heir would be working in a place like this?"

"The things you're talking about, even I can't reach them right now. I've long been on the fringe of my family, without much power, but also free."

"If you want to use my hand to invest in and bet on 'Dantalion,' I... sigh, looks like I'm about to get busy again. I thought I could enjoy a leisurely life for a while."

"I'll ask my grandfather, maybe he can give me some advice."

"But before I leave, I still need to confirm that 'Dantalion' truly has the talent you mentioned, otherwise it would be too embarrassing later on."

After finishing her statement, 'Vurowus' stood up. There weren't many people left in the store by then.

"That's all for today." Vurowus said goodbye to Botis, picked up her bag, and walked outside.

Watching the silver-trimmed maid leave, Botis also left the bar.

"I never expected she was really the daughter of a prestigious family. I always thought it was just a joke, but she exposed herself after being tricked today."

"Indeed, the identity and talent of a Songstress can easily make people lose their sanity," Botis said, her eyes' faint golden glow fading.

"Well, I can only do so much. When I get home, Vurowus will probably come around and then give me an earful. But it doesn't matter. Now that she knows, she can't stay detached like before."

"Sorry, Mother in Heaven, your daughter has done something bad again today. But rest assured, she won't regret it."

After a moment of silent prayer, Botis also left the quiet and empty Dream of Glazed Glass.
