Chapter 324 – #71_Gehenna’s Host Bar (7)
#322
One.
The very center of the host bar.
Siwoo, who was seated at table 1, was under a barrage of heated questions.
“Can I show you my magic?”
Customer No. 1, who was the first to come in after standing in line since dawn, was looking at Siwoo with shining eyes.
If it had been Siwoo in the past, I would have been half frightened.
No, in fact, I still don’t like it very much.
You really have to take those eyes to know.
I feel like a frog who has been put to the test.
But for today, I set my mind right.
I have no face in seeing Takasho if the customer who took the bait for a long time but got sick from eating does not visit the restaurant again.
“Sure, you took a long step because of me, but I have to show you.”
“Really? Are you really going to show me?”
“Bloom.”
Actually, with this level of magic, there is no need to use chanting, but as a service, Siwoo created a bunch of shadows.
With a mad expression dripping saliva, the witch touched the slide glass to the magic floating in Siu’s palm.
“Right… Oh! Boo… Oh! Is it a shadow?”
For reference, that is a magic pattern collector made of quartz.
Framework silicates, a feature of quartz, are used as collectors because they are easy to store magical patterns and are much more durable than glass.
“Yes, it basically has a hook shape, so it hinders the manifestation of magic. These days, I’m working on structural stability by combining it with elemental magic.”
“Really? Even elemental magic? It would not be easy to combine magic from different realms…. You are great!”
She was a very well-mannered and kind witch, worthy of being the first guest.
She just said she was sorry to take the place and even gave me a drink even though she was a middleweight.
“It’s an irregular particle, but how do you connect it?”
“It is not difficult to set up a virtual space using a linear combination. Just hold the outline like that and connect the rest with hooks.”
“Aha! Are you going pretty basic?”
The magic discussion started like that.
I heard the question, ‘Is this really the host’s customer service?’, But I feel more comfortable with this one.
“If there is anything else you want to ask, feel free to ask.”
The witch, who was short and charming, hesitated for a moment before asking Siwoo.
“Then will you come to my house?”
“I really appreciate the offer, but it seems a bit difficult. I’m sorry.”
“No, I must be asking too much. I don’t have much money, so I can’t come here often. I’ll be satisfied with the sample I got today.”
I’m going to get out of here
She is the exact opposite of what Si-woo expected, who expected her crazy obsession, so she even wants to take care of him.
In addition, while we were talking about this and that, the hourglass that measures 15 minutes ran out of sand.
“Oh my gosh! It’s amazing that I talk to a male witch in my life. It’s amazing. I should brag about it to my friends.”
The first witch who left a good impression on Siu got up from her seat with joyful steps.
She gets up, sees her off and sits down again.
“Isn’t it bigger than I thought?”
She feels a little bit confident that she can pull it off.
She is basically a witch who looks down on men, but her Siu position is a bit special.
Even though she is a man, she knows how to use magic.
Being able to start serving customers on a more equal footing was an overwhelming advantage that other hosts could not have.
“Welcome. Thank you for visiting.”
Of course.
Not all witches thought so.
The witch who came in next was 175 tall, and she was a tall, blonde witch who was about the same eye level as Siu when she wore heels.
As soon as she met her supermodel proportions and ferocious gaze, she said to herself, “Fucked up.”
Unlike the previous customer who looked around curiously and carefully sat down.
This witch sits cross-legged as she is accustomed to.
“To think there was a host bar in Gehenna. That’s great.”
“Hello. It’s an honor to meet you. I am Shin Si-woo, who will serve the witch for 15 minutes.”
From her standing posture, she politely introduced herself in line with the etiquette she had learned from Takasho, but all she got back was her snort.
“Are you the guy who became a witch even though you’re a man?”
Not all witches find Siu’s existence mysterious or good.
For some witches, magic is sanctuary.
Siwoo is an impure element who invaded the sanctuary only allowed to them.
That’s a nasty impure element who pretends to be a witch with the magic she learned over her shoulder.
Apparently, the second customer was not very happy with Siu’s existence.
“Undeservedly, it happened.”
“I have no interest in your humble talents. But if it was a spiritual body, her face would be shiny, so I just came to watch.”
Siwoo experienced her strange feelings.
Was it because the host appraisal module was installed by Takasho the other day?
I didn’t really care about the open fight.
“Is that so? How do you feel when you see it yourself?”
“…….”
Siwoo opened the cork and poured champagne into a glass while maintaining a subtle customer service smile.
The witch stared at Siu’s face without even looking at her.
She opened her lips to say something, but the silent witch said in a sharp voice that she was right when she saw Siu sitting down after pouring her drink.
“Is this your first time doing something like this?”
“Does it look awkward too? I’m not a nervous person. Being around the witch makes me nervous. I’m sorry if I offended you.”
This is the concept that Takasho held onto.
A handsome mother-in-law and a purebred.
He’s an introverted nerd concept who doesn’t even know he’s handsome.
To be honest, when I first heard about the concept, Hyeonta thought, ‘What is this all about?
Still, it is true that the period of Mosolada was long, so it is possible to postpone the method.
The witch wrinkles her nose at Siwoo’s calmly pointed out reaction.
Maybe you want to see this side embarrassed or angry, but that won’t happen.
Compared to the time when Amelia was longing for sincerity, this level is aegyo.
It’s kind of like Amelia’s soft tone of voice when she’s angry, giving her a big bang.
This witch feels like a cat meowing in front of her.
Unlike when she was a slave, her life would not be threatened if she disobeyed her.
It feels like playing a game with a difficulty level of B+ after only going through rhythm games with an S difficulty level.
“No? It doesn’t mean that. If you’re a host, shouldn’t you ask for the customer’s name by default?”
“Excuse me. May I ask for your honor?”
“It’s too late, and the basics are less. Besides, you don’t even use a pseudonym, do you?”
Oh
Come to think of it, there was something like that.
With the exception of the manager, Takasho, all the hosts working at the bar used their own pseudonyms.
Of course, Siu was embarrassed and quit, but this witch seemed determined to grab her pods one by one.
“I don’t have a basic attitude, so what kind of hospitality are you going to do….”
It was time to use one of the skills Takasho had taught him.
Siu, who had been avoiding her eye contact with her gentle gaze until now, clearly looked into her witch’s eyes.
Says Takasho.
If you are going to tell flattery and lies, look into the eyes of a woman with the heart of a beautiful woman.
The woman doesn’t suspect the lies she tells while her eyes meet.
Lana.
“Are you suddenly straight? Are you angry? Being angry like this means you don’t have qualifications as a host. Did I buy your time to have fun?”
“I forgot something important.”
She seemed angry at the excessive provocation, but she spoke the opposite softly.
The witch raised her eyes, as if bewildered by the incongruity.
“Then, will the witch give you a name?”
“What? My, why me?”
“If it is a name given by a witch, I think she will be able to keep it meaningful while working as a host in the future.”
It’s only 2 weeks.
The word was hidden inside.
At the same time as the line ended, the eyes of the witch, who had always been ferocious, were caught shaking back and forth.
He is also seen swallowing a small amount of saliva.
On the other hand, Siu had her calm emoji, and she responded to her hospitality with the heart of the living Buddha.
“…….”
An opponent who doesn’t even raise an eyebrow no matter how angry he is.
If it was up to that point, it might have been rather intense with the desire to compete.
However, in addition to admitting mistakes and apologizing, he is handing over the “Special role” Of asking for a name.
The meaning of a name in the witch society is deeper than expected.
Even if it is just a pseudonym for the host.
And decisively, to recklessly push with anger… The closer you look, the better it seems.
“My name is… Ceres Syconax.”
“It is the name of the goddess. You seem to be getting along well.”
“Is it? I’ve never really thought about that.”
“Then what would be a good name for me? There are still about 10 minutes left, so it might be fun to think about it together.”
This man suddenly jumps in.
Ceres, who was attacked in an unexpected part, blinked his eyes and crossed his arms.
Before she knew it, her resistance to the cheeky title of male witch was diluted, and instead, she began to think about what name to give her a little more sense.
“Hmm, what would be good?”
Takasho, who listened closely to the conversation, gave a satisfied smile.
I was nervous from the beginning because I was a picky customer.
It was also a bit of a worry.
Shin Si-woo, who seduced not one, not two, but three witches, and even had an apprentice witch, would not be the Shin Si-woo of the past.
Look at it now
It doesn’t seem like it was intentional, but it’s a work that comes naturally.
In my experience, that unrefined charm appeal is fatal to women’s hearts.
The reason why makeup that is not made up is popular among women is that something that is not artificial is effective.
When Takasho was holding the top position, all the juniors who closely followed him had that kind of atmosphere.
Most of them are weak-minded, but they usually fail to manage customers or develop love and retire soon after.
If only this was Kabukicho.
If Shiu had accumulated enough experience and competed with Takasho, who would have been the winner?
Siwoo’s hospitality was excellent in many ways, to the point where it made me feel this foolish.
Haven’t had any problems since then.
Takasho, rolling over and over at the host bar, replenished what the customer needed before the request came out with his quick notice.
The 30 hosts who trained only in hospitality for almost 3 months satisfied the witches without any major problems.
Considering the customers who will be flocking for the time being, the second designation has been banned for a while, but there seem to be many witches already thinking about the second.
Glass Rose’s Gehenna debut ceremony ended so luxuriously.
It is 2:00 in the morning when the witches have left and it is quiet.
In the center of the bar, tired hosts gathered after cleaning.
“Fist!”
The day’s business is over, so I’m going to settle the bill.
“Everyone worked hard today. I think your efforts have borne fruit.”
Takasho stood on the stairs and encouraged his teammates after a day’s struggle.
Standing on the stairs, with calm eyes, he looks at the face of the host with whom he has shared joys and sorrows for several months.
Do you serve customers in a state of tension or drink alcohol?
After working for more than 12 hours and cleaning, they all turned into green onion kimchi, but their faces are bright.
Others were grinning.
“Then, I will announce the sales figures today.”
That moment when everyone was nervous.
“Today’s turnover is £2,112 in gold coins.”
“Yes… ?”
“Eh?”
“Two thousand pounds?”
The hosts who sway with agitation at the mind-boggling amount.
Even Siwoo, who was leaning on her stairs after collapsing from dealing with over 100 witches in a row, opened her mouth.
Roughly 1.7 billion and 74.08 million won in one day.
Because it is money calculation, mental arithmetic becomes fast.
“Except for the alcohol…. 1,267 pounds.”
“…….”
“…….”
The chatter subsided and there was silence.
Of course, if you exclude the monthly debt, interest, snacks, labor costs, basic alcohol, etc., It will drop by half.
If you calculate only the price of alcohol, you will have a net profit of 64.44 million won even after 1 billion won.
Only.
In one day.
Everyone is staring at Takasho, who is dumbfounded as he continues his presentation in a calm voice.
“Because it’s the first day, there will be something special. Every day won’t be like today. And tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be busy for a while. Relax without letting go of tension.”
“…….”
“…….”
“Still….”
Takasho lowered his head and clenched his fists with hot tears.
“We are done! Hey guys! A lot of trouble! Please take good care of me in the future!!!!!”
“Huhhh!!! I’m Takasho hyung!”
“This is all thanks to Shin Si-woo here! Praise you guys! This is my friend!”
“Siw! Siwoo! Siu!”
“Takasho! Takasho! Takasho!”
After that, it was a crucible of frenzy that seemed to have to be cleaned again.
While embracing each other and running wildly, Takasho burned a lantern and wandered around the business without hesitation, and Siwoo was rinsed several times.
It was because the rewards of doing chores every day to reduce the deficit, being anxious about a job that might disappear at any time, and desperately honing customer service skills that might be useful were so sweet.
Siu and Takasho danced for a long time with the staff on their shoulders and cheered like crazy.
It was a wonderful night, a man’s dream come true.
