Ti to start my master plan.
First thing first, ask a bystander!
They point toward the third nearest bakery.
The guy I ask is really confused about my motives.
Alright, showti.
Back straight.
Confident attitude.
Slight smile.
This ti I got this.
Inside is so guy.
Obviously, the owner here.
[Hey there! I would like to apply for employnt. Ah, but I only sell my skills, not my body!]
He looks at weirdly.
"Brother, this place isn't mine. I just man the counter."
Seems I was wrong.
[I see. When can I see the owner then?]
"Sorry, but we aren't recruiting. You can try so other place in town."
Direct rejection.
Well, it can't be helped if they are already fully staff.
Not a problem on my side.
Guess I'll just
Cos a cute girl.
"Brother, I am looking for a job. Can you help ?"
Ah, nice try but they don't need any
"Sure! We were missing so personnel! Your arrival must be fate! Alright, co behind the counter I will show you your tasks!"
Brother...
No, this guy doesn't deserve such a title.
[You literally just said that]
"Shoo! We need hardworking and polite employees! You are too rude!"
That asshole.
It's totally because I don't have boobs!
This is discrimination!
Can I beat him up?
Ah, whatever.
He's not worth it.
As I leave, I can hear him badmouth .
She's even praising him for his valiance in turning away.
Fuck.
Screw these guys!
They were made for each other!
Bastard and Bitch!
Okay.
Now to try this again.
I find another target.
Right, how am I finding so many bakeries?
Well, the city is big. Really big.
I enter.
This ti for sure.
Oh, it's a lady at the counter!
I can totally use my charm!
Nice!
[Hey there, are you hiring by any chance? I have months of experience as a cook!]
She glances at .
"I could use a hand for sure. The starting salary wouldn't be that high but if we manage to do well I could increase it in kind."
Nice! Finally, one that is serious!
I was wondering if I was cursed or sothing.
All is good now.
[Perfect! Should I show you my skills?]
"Of course, now if you can just "
*Sound of a door*
Cos a dashing young man.
"Hey there! Are you recruiting? I am looking for a job!"
Oh?
Competition, is it?
I was here first, but truthfully, in such a case the better candidate is the one that will be chosen.
This will obviously end up into a cook-off.
This is going to be epic.
Whatever he bakes will not stand a chance against my pies!
This is a given for sure.
"You want to work here too?"
[I just applied for a job brother haha. I guess we will have to determine who deserves the job the old-fashioned way. May the most skillful one win!]
"Ah, I understand!"
The lady interrupts.
"No need, he has the job."
What?!
She's pointing to the newcor.
[Why?!]
"He is way cuter. Plus looking at you I get the feeling you spent the night on the street. He's obviously the better alternative."
What the fuck?!
What happened to one shouldn't judge a book by its cover?!
Now he's smiling bashfully.
Fuck this place!
Are all the damn cooks so narrow-minded?!
I'm out!
*Sigh*
How is getting a job turning out to be so hard?
It's not even a matter of being competent.
Alright, I will try one last ti.
The third ti's the charm as they say.
I enter a small shop.
At this point having a smile on my face is hard.
[Hey there, are you recruiting? I'm a cook looking for a job.]
There stands a man with a chef hat.
This already seems more professional than the previous ones.
He has his branding straight.
"Alright, I don't mind putting you to the test."
[You an to say you won't judge based on my face, my sexual orientation, my gender, or downright turn down for no reason?!]
"Why would I?"
[Ah, sorry, it's been a long day.]
He nods understandingly and points to the kitchen.
I get to work.
Baking the most wonderful pie of all ti.
Once it is done, he carefully tastes it.
[How is it?]
Ti for the verdict.
This will determine my future.
"Pretty good. What else do you know how to bake?"
Truth or deception?
[That is the only thing I currently have mastered, but I can learn easily!]
"I understand. Alright, we are done here."
[Y-you an I failed?]
"Ah, no you got the job kid. As long as you show motivation and the will to improve everything will be fine."
[Nice!]
I almost hug him in joy.
Finally.
It took so ti, but I finally did it.
"Alright follow , kid."
We go into an adjacent room.
It looks like a small prayer room.
"You are in luck kid. This right here is the secret to my craft. You see the statue in the middle?"
[Yes?]
"This is a representation of our god KooKing himself!"
I'm not sure I like where this is going.
"Now kneel in front of it and ask him from the bottom of your heart for his blessing."
[What happens if I already am following a god?]
Will he flip and beco angry?
"No need to worry. Our God welcos all cooks into his following. Just forget about that other God."
[Sure]
How do I do this?
I kneel and then I pray.
A true god should be able to hear my true thoughts, rights?
Perhaps the overall feeling?
Please god of KooKing.
Please grant your power!
I do not care about gods at all.
But I swear that should you bless I will build a small shrine to you once I have conquered the world through the way of the pies.
I may never revere you as a god per se, but I will make sure to honor you and consider you a worthy business partner!
Did it work?
I glance at the statue, no reaction whatsoever.
I don't feel any different either.
"*Sigh* You are not sincere enough in your prayer. Alright, let's call it a day. You can co back whenever to try again. It's all about having the right ntality. You'll get it eventually."
[Wait, can't one cook without a blessing?]
"Cook? No, not in the truest sense. You would always remain an amateur never reaching the peak."
That's how I am forced to leave.
How am I supposed to believe in so guy I have never even t?
*Sigh* What now?
