Chapter 1906: Babla Returns
Mag swore he did not do it on purpose. At least, he would not do something so lowly… baby pink… Aah, ptui! He had already closed his eyes.
Shrieks, Chaos.
According to the speed of free fall, the skirt would probably have fallen back in place. Mag opened his eyes, and looked at the lady who took two steps back in shock while holding her skirt down.
“Vivian.” Mag finally saw the lady clearly. After that, he was relieved. At least it was someone he knew.
“Boss Mag, you’re actually someone like that!” Vivian pressed her skirt as she looked at Mag with shock and embarrassment in front of the restaurant door.
“My apologies, Miss Vivian. I did not expect you to be standing outside the door. However, don’t worry. I closed my eyes just now, and didn’t see anything at all,” Miss said apologetically. He was indeed in the wrong. Something like this was very serious to ladies.
Vivian looked at Mag’s sincere expression, and felt her anger subside significantly. She thought for a while. Boss Mag had never really gone close to ladies. He had always maintained a decent distance and shown ladies basic respect. He was not the kind who would do something lowly. Besides, she was appearing rather strange to be standing at his door. Therefore, Vivian let go of her skirt, and said unnaturally, “Alright, we’ll let this pass.”
“We’ll let this pass?” Mag was shocked. He thought he had to come up with a good explanation, like why the wind was so strong, or why there would be an upward wind when the door was pushed open… He did not expect Vivian to let it pass after just glancing at him.
Could this be the so-called Affinity +1? Mag raised his brow with uncertainty.
“I wonder if I can help you with anything seeing that you’re here at the restaurant at this hour?” Mag changed the topic for her.
“Yes, I am here to look for you.” Vivian nodded.
“Huh?”
“I heard that you and Luna are building a new school. Can I be a teacher there?” Vivian went straight to the point.
“If I didn’t remember wrongly, you seemed to have applied to teach at Chaos School, right?” Mag was a little shocked.
Vivian nodded. “Yes. However, I’ve decided to give up on Chaos School and join your new school.”
“You didn’t make it?”
“Boss Mag!” Vivian blushed. She was rather embarrassed, but still said with her head held high, “I was just… just that one or two points away.”
“Teacher Luna is in charge of hiring teachers. She looks at one’s responsibility to the children. I think there would be an assessment and interview. You can apply for it first.” Mag smiled. However, Vivian was a very outstanding lady. There should not be a problem for her to become a teacher.
“I see. I should have just gone to Luna.” Vivian nodded and waved goodbye to Mag. “Bye, Boss Mag.”
“Bye.” Mag watched Vivian leave in the horse-drawn carriage. Their team was expanding rapidly, and that was a good thing.
After seeing Vivian leave, Mag went out to walk around the streets.
Although he did not have heads turning or girls screaming at him, Mag could feel the obvious kinder looks at him from passersby, and even stray cats and dogs would wag their tails at him.
It looks like that’s the so-called Affinity +1. Mag returned to the restaurant, deep in thought. Such upgrades in charisma were indeed invisible.
That was an ability that should be treasured.
Human interactions and first impressions could determine many things in the future.
If you were unable to give another person a positive first impression, that would mean that no one would be interested to know you no matter how talented you were.
On top of that, a higher affinity would mean that it would be easier to be liked by others and to build trust with people.
This is simply an ability custom-made for sales. Mag stroked his chin. So far, this seemed to be the advantage he felt from the God of Cookery system training.
Besides, this ability was rather useful to him as of now. He wanted to get more fans and thus level up in the culinary realm. Having a higher affinity would make it easier for him to gain fans.
Interesting. Mag nodded. He was already thinking of changing the video at the Delicacy Extravaganza with a new one.
Just as he closed the door, a stunning white light shone in the middle of the restaurant. After that, a silhouette rose with a table on top.
“Huh?”
Their gazes met, and they were both stunned.
“Er… Boss, stop staring. Help me get the table on my head off,” Babla said angrily at Mag.
“Alright.” Mag removed the table on Babla’s head with a smile. To be honest, if she had lowered her head for a while, the table would not have been on her head.
Babla, who had changed into a pink dress, rubbed her head and kicked the table. After that, she looked around and asked, “They’re all not around?”
“Mm-hm. They’re all in Miya’s shop.” Mag nodded.
Babla looked at Mag and sized him up. She felt as though he looked a little different. However, she could not put her finger on it. She frowned and thought for a while before asking, “Have you showered?”
“You can tell?” Mag frowned. He felt that her questions were a little strange.
“No, it was just a random greeting. I’ll go look for them.” Babla quickly realized that her question sounded weird. She blushed and escaped out of the door.
After opening the door, she came back within three seconds. She closed the door and breathed out some cold air. She shuddered and exclaimed, “It’s so cold! Why is it still winter!”
“It already was when you left. You’ve only left for a few days. Were you thinking that it would become summer the moment you were back?” Mag rolled his eyes. He looked at Babla, who was dressed in a thin dress, and laughed.
“The Moon Nation is really hot right now. Who knew… that it would still be so cold here.” Babla stomped her foot angrily, or maybe because she was too cold.
“Put this on and go. Remember to bring it back tonight.” Mag went up to get a coat, and put it on Babla.
The mid-length trench coat almost reached her ankles.
“It’s so warm!” Babla suddenly felt like she could do everything again. She thanked Mag and went out.
Babla has returned. Our new help request should be here soon too. Looks like the Moon Nation will be tied closely to the Norland Continent. Mag smiled. As long as the various representatives could ascertain that the Great Old One had broken through the seal and escaped, how to find and reseal it would only be a matter of time.
The Great Old One could not be killed, so they could only seal it back to temporarily stop it before finding other ways to kill it—for example, by eating it up.

During dinner, Babla brought specialty gifts from the Moon Nation, and gave them to everyone.
Other than the glistening jewelry, there were also the interesting, irregular-shaped moon stones that gave off a soft, silver glow.
