This evening was a day of harvest, ah, just one day's turnover filled the counter. When counting, Kells was surprised to find several silver coins! This was the first time in his life he had seen the legendary silver coins. It seemed that some customers who ordered 10 portions of the special food at once gave them, but since the mysterious gifts were limited, those few probably got at most two.

  “So shiny and white, really beautiful, are these silver coins?” Kells picked up those few silver coins, looking left and right, and asked Eliya beside him. She was still wearing the cat pajamas, seemingly already used to it.

  “Hehe, brother is so pitiful, never even seen silver coins, ah. When dad was here, the monthly turnover here had many gold coins…”

  “Brother is from a small rural place, never seen silver coins, made little sister laugh, ah. By the way, I’ve already counted it. Today, we received a total of 2000 copper coins and 5 silver coins. Deducting the 200 copper coins spent on ingredients, we earned 23 silver coins, ah! Haha!” Kells excitedly calculated, the numbers on the account making him extremely thrilled.

  “Heavens, ah! So amazing, ah! But when dad was here, the daily turnover could reach 1 gold coin. Why did we have so many customers but earn less than dad?”

  “Haha, take it slowly. Today, all the customers only ordered the same dish. To put it bluntly, it was just a bowl of better-tasting vegetable noodles. Such food can’t be sold at a high price, and tomorrow there won’t be any mysterious gifts to give away…”

  “Ah! Then what should we do, ah, the restaurant has finally started to pick up, ah!” Eliya immediately said worriedly. To show her nervousness, she even walked closer to Kells, but there was something on the floor, “Bang!” she tripped and fell right onto Kells. What a pity, ah!

  Too bad! “Damn it, why am I so tall! If the position of this fall were just a head higher, I could have kissed Eliya’s little fragrant lips, ah!” Kells suddenly hated his own height. But speaking of it, Eliya was already eighteen or nineteen years old; unless he was a dwarf, no matter how he grew, Kells wouldn’t be able to take advantage.

  “Ah! Brother, are you okay!” Eliya quickly got up and pulled Kells up, helping to pat off the dust from his back.

  In his resentment, Kells realized he had missed another excellent opportunity, ah. Originally, he could have taken the chance to touch something, but he was too busy competing with his height… “It’s okay, little sister is so nice, ah! By the way, I also got some dust on the front…” Opportunities are created by people, Kells firmly believed this!

  “Huh, how could there be dust on the front?” Although puzzled, Eliya still helped to pat off the dust. Kells’ entire expression changed, his face full of comfort, ah. The reason behind this, please imagine it yourself…

  After patting for a while, Eliya didn’t see any dust. She thought her strength was too weak…

  “Ah!!!” A piercing scream came from Kells’ mouth. He clutched his lower body, rolling back and forth on the floor, in such pain that he wished he were dead, ah! Eliya was at a loss, frightened to tears by Kells’ abnormal state! Speaking of which, although Kells was lecherous by nature, he was very caring towards women. Seeing the little sister he fancied crying because of him, he quickly endured the pain and forced a smile.

  “It’s… okay, it’ll be fine in a moment, don’t cry, oh. By the way, I’ve thought of a way to attract customers tomorrow. Does little sister want to know?”

  Kells’ words caught Eliya’s attention, and she stopped crying. “As long as it’s okay. Brother scared me to death, lah. Have you already thought of a way for tomorrow? Eliya really hopes the restaurant can always have so many customers…”

  “Hehe, I’ve thought of it. Tomorrow, we’ll have to rely on it. Fat Dragon, how long are you going to sleep!” Kells’ backpack was placed on the counter. He knocked a few times, and inside, Fat Dragon reluctantly stretched out its head lazily.

  “Hehe, such a cute raccoon, can it perform tricks?” Eliya asked.

  “Perform… I’m afraid that’s not possible. Look at its appearance, so fat and chubby, super lazy. Probably not many people would like it, ah…” Eliya thought her brother was joking. If that was the case, how could they rely on it?

  Kells smiled mysteriously again. “Little sister actually doesn’t know, Fat Dragon isn’t an ordinary raccoon. It can transform into any kind of animal, and it can understand my words. If I let it transform into an animal that is fundamentally untamable to perform, what effect would that create?”

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  “Heavens, ah, brother is so amazing, ah. This way, there will be more and more customers, ah. But why is there a raccoon that can transform? Could it be a monster?” Although Eliya was young, she had even heard of monsters.

  “It might be. I don’t know the specifics. When brother was crossing the forest, I encountered it. There have always been rumors of monsters appearing there. Maybe they were talking about Fat Dragon. Brother, without knowing, signed a friendship contract with Fat Dragon. Now, we two are in a symbiotic relationship, ah. If it dies, I won’t be well either, but if I die, I’m not sure…” Kells even suspected that this contract might not even be a friendship one. Thinking about it, this effect seemed more like a master-servant relationship, and it seemed he was the servant…

  “Brother is so amazing, ah. I’ve heard that only knights and high-level mercenaries in big cities have contracted monsters. Meeting brother is really great. Eliya is so lucky, oh. Brother has also helped Eliya so much. From now on, Eliya will live with brother. Anyway, I don’t have any family left. Wherever brother goes, I’ll go!”

  “What about this restaurant?” Kells asked strangely.

  “Hehe, I want it, ah. In the future, please live here with Eliya, brother!” As she said this, Eliya even took Kells’ hand. The soft, boneless touch felt very good, and unconsciously, Kells touched it a few more times.

  “My spring has finally come, so happy, ah. I actually managed to get such a beautiful little girl, hehe. In a few more years, we can get married. Guarding this cute and pretty little sister every day, my heart can hardly take it!” At this moment, all those adventures and mercenary dreams in Kells’ heart were thrown to the back of his mind. Ordinary people are very realistic: with a girl and food to eat, who would still go risk their life?

  “Brother? What’s wrong with you?” Seeing Kells spacing out, Eliya asked curiously, even shaking his hand.

  “Oh… nothing, brother is happy, ah. When you grow up, what do you want to do, ah?” Kells asked.

  “Eliya hasn’t thought about anything, ah. As long as I can be happy every day, that’s fine…” She seemed to recall something sad, and for a moment, her expression dimmed.

  “Hehe, no matter what Eliya wants to do, brother Kells will help you, until forever!” To make Eliya stronger, Kells promised thus. “Really forever?” Eliya asked. “Really! Brother Kells keeps his word!”

  “Thank you… brother is really a good person… It’s already very late, let’s rest, ah. Eliya is so tired from this day, oh, but very happy. Brother, your room is ready, right next to mine. Oh, I’m going to take a bath!”

  “Take a bath!!!” Kells instantly became alert, like a mouse that had smelled the aroma of food. All the cells in his body entered an excited mode. “Take a bath, hehe! I’ve been waiting for this moment. As long as she takes a bath, she will definitely take off her clothes to change. Oh oh, little sister Eliya’s unworn little panties, one piece to be obtained, ah!” Kells was already so excited that tears streamed down his face.

  After Eliya finished speaking, she yawned a few times. For a pampered young lady like her, this day’s work was indeed very tiring. She hardly had time to sit down, ah. Even when there were no customers in the restaurant, there was always a bunch of restless youths surrounding her… those who were full and had nothing to do…

  Kells watched her return to her room and close the door. Then, his operation began! The first step was to survey the environment. Kells and Eliya’s rooms were on the top floor of the restaurant, on both sides of the staircase entrance. This location was very convenient for going out. The rooms were connected, with doors and windows tightly closed. This was peeping, not stealing panties. Opening doors or windows would easily be discovered. Drilling a hole in the wall would take too much time, and the noise would attract attention.

  “The only way to enter appreciation mode in the shortest time is one way!” Kells looked up at the roof. Ordinary people don’t like to look up. Kells had many experiences of stealing from the rafters. Climbing roofs was a piece of cake for him. Look! This guy was already directly above Eliya’s room…

  He carefully removed a piece of tile, and a ray of candlelight shone through the gap in the tiles. Kells looked inside… Eliya groggily prepared the water and wooden tub for bathing. In the past, such tasks were done by the servants. Now, it was done by an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young lady with weak hands and feet, which was somewhat torturous, ah. She moved the heavy bathwater step by step, resting every now and then. Kells watched with a pained heart, really wishing he could run down to help and then conveniently request a shared bath or something…

  After preparing all this, Eliya began the thing Kells was most looking forward to: undressing… The pajamas seemed very simple. To take them off, there was no fancy way. Eliya just flipped them up…

  “Someone!” Just as Kells was at the peak of excitement, he suddenly saw a petite black figure open the window and dart in. Before Eliya had flipped up her clothes, the uninvited guest struck her from behind. She let out a soft cry and fell to the ground, unconscious. Seeing the target secured, the black figure quickly took out a black cloth bag from behind and stuffed Eliya inside!

  “Kidnapping?” Such a thought popped into Kells’ mind. Apart from running away, he had no combat skills. To rashly attempt a rescue would be no different from seeking death. After thinking for a moment, he decided to first return to the first floor and take Fat Dragon with him. Eliya must be rescued, but leaving Fat Dragon here made him uneasy.

  After Kells carried the bag containing Fat Dragon, he quietly lurked outside the restaurant door. That black figure would definitely have to pass through here. He waited for the opportunity to follow. With Kells’ foot speed, as long as it wasn’t a mid-tier or higher speed-type profession, he could keep up. As for stealth skills, that was also his forte. Once, in order to obtain the most desired little panties, Kells had lurked on someone’s roof for at least a week without being discovered…
