I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 467
Chapter 467: Welcome to the Japari Park
It’s a particularly beautiful sunny day. The sky is clear and cloudless, like a gorgeous blue-purple gem, with the huge sun and two faintly visible moons high above.
The air is filled with the scents of freedom, green trees, and fresh grass, while the soothing chirps of unknown small birds fill the surroundings. The warm sunlight casts a lazy aura.
In the suburbs of Diwutith, a path leading to the great forest gently unfolds before my eyes.
In late August, I took my own vacation. As the manager of the Shangjing Cat Maid Café, I announced in advance on the official account and fan group that I would be traveling alone during these eight days.
Any issues could be addressed to the café’s deputy manager Fei Luo or Gabriel. If the matter concerned “politics,” such as the recent construction of the “Moon Orchid Island” base stations or the development of the “Mianyun District,” people could contact Xiao Mo, although she might be as elusive as a dragon’s tail during these eight days.
Some netizens commented, “The café without Nuo’er feels like a 3D comic area without any anime character figurines,” and “I won’t go for a meal if Nuo’er isn’t working.” However, most netizens showed understanding.
?Nuo’er has worked continuously for 22 days this month. Try not taking a break for 22 days and see what it’s like. She deserves a vacation.?
?22 days of work? That definitely calls for a break.?
?Not just 22 days, check how Nuo’er rested last month. She definitely worked longer than 22 days. Nuo’er’s health is delicate, and every day she starts work by making glutinous rice and preparing drinks for everyone. It’s exhausting.?
?Indeed, try kneading that glutinous rice. Seven colors, almost ten pounds of glutinous rice every day. Not to mention Nuo’er acts as both a clerk and manager. If I had Nuo’er’s physique, just making breakfast would be enough to tire me out.?
Then, somehow, the attention of these netizens shifted to the topic of “café benefits”—
?But isn’t eight days off in a month too much? I only get two days off here. It’s like a sweatshop.?
?Your boss should hurry up and hang himself on a street lamp. My factory has four days off every month, with alternating weekends during the off-season.?
?Oh, so you boast about having four days off? You must be used to being a slave. Here, we just have weekends off.?
Until I left Moon Orchid Island, some fan groups on my phone were still discussing the topic of “café break durations.”
?This is genuine news: the café’s time off might be even more standard than you think. I asked the staff there, the standard is eight days off per month. If there are public holidays, the number of holiday days is added. For example, if there are three statutory holidays in October, they can rest for eleven days. At the beginning of each month, the staff discusses their time off and schedules it accordingly.?
?Is the café still hiring? I’d like to join, even if it’s just to clean up after the cats. I’m okay with a monthly salary of three thousand.?
?Let’s skip it. Besides having Nuo’er, who’s such a good manager that her first response to making money is to increase staff salaries, do you know how much Ai Luodi and the others earn each month? Do you know that even high-ranking city officials can’t buy a position at the café??
?Why would they want to buy a position at the café??
?The provincial prosecutor treats Nuo’er and Xiao Mo with great respect when talking to them. Think about the connections there. If you could actually become an employee at the café, it wouldn’t be just about personal glory.?
To soothe the café fans, I did a live broadcast from the newly built swing in the café’s garden before leaving, and sang a song in elf mode—
“Welcome to the Japari Park!”
“Today, it’s lively and bustling with running around!”
“If you laugh loudly, you’re good friends!”
“……”
This is one of my top three favorite songs, and it used to be the opening theme of my favorite anime.
The style of this song is upbeat and fairy-tale-like, with an overall sense of freedom and running wild on the prairie. Since I plan to use these eight days of vacation to travel to another world, I chose this song.
In elf mode, everyone was captivated by the melody of the song. Elves, being a race that yearns for freedom and values life, naturally feel at ease singing this song, without needing to think about emotional aspects.
“From today on, please take care of me! Under the evening sky, our fingers quietly overlap…”
“Wherever you are, the fantastic journey will continue!”
As the song ended, I struck a cat-like cute pose for the live stream audience—“Meow!”—and then made a swift exit.
For this personal trip to the other world, Xiao Mo asked me to choose some “initial equipment.”
According to Xiao Mo, I should bring all the high-level gear, like the “Holy Sword,” “Gauss Lightsaber,” “Aether Cloak,” “Battlemage Ring,” and “Phantom Angel’s Blade,” while also equipping “Adaptive Armor,” “Sunfire Armor,” and “Tyrassk Weaver Skin,” focusing on instant kills and invincibility.
Xiao Mo said that if I took all that high-level equipment, I could go anywhere, and even her “Grim Reaper” avatar wouldn’t be able to harm me.
However, I chose not to bring any of those artifacts.
I am no longer the “little kitty” who knew nothing of magic.
I now have “Mobius Circle,” which allows me to escape, “Water Elemental Domain,” which lets me fight against most mages, and skills like “Surf” and “Wave Walking” for more agile movement through the forest.
In addition, I have supportive magic such as “Healing” and “Purification,” which are specialties of water element mages. Even if I get injured occasionally in the forest, the elves’ powerful recovery abilities combined with my healing aura can quickly mend my wounds.
Lastly, I have a bell on my neck for emergencies. As long as I channel magic into it, I can contact Xiao Mo, who can then use magic to cut through space and come find me. So, most of the time, I don’t need to worry about life-threatening situations and can go light.
I only took a timekeeping bracelet to prevent myself from getting too far and losing track of time—after all, a day in the other world isn’t the same as on Earth.
As for the rest, I also have Gabriel’s “Angel’s Blessing” and the “Angel’s Halo” she gave me. The halo is usually on my wrist but can be used as a light source at night, which is very convenient.
“Well then…”
With a small backpack on my back, I took a deep breath and entered catgirl mode at the entrance of the forest.
“Let’s go!”
“……”
