The Great Ruler of Movania lay lazily on the counter, his tail curled into a hook shape. When it heard someone coming in, its ears moved, but it didn't even say "Welcome", completely ignoring the fact that it is the head of a store and must serve customers.
Then one hand twisted the skin around its neck and lifted it up.
"Wake up! You cat is so lazy, can you really make money by opening a shop?"
The Great Dominator was furious, but he was helplessly weak and unable to move. "Presumptuous! Disrespectful fanatic, let me down!"
The hand suddenly released. Fortunately, the Great Dominator is a cat, and it landed lightly after a twist in the air. When it saw the face of the visitor, it shook its beard with anger.
"Augusta, it's your boy!"
"Why do you have such an attitude towards guests?" Augusta folded her arms around her chest.
"Your attitude towards the master is not very good either!"
"At least show some basic qualities of service industry practitioners!"
"It's not business hours now! We don't provide food service after two o'clock in the afternoon and until five o'clock in the afternoon!"
"I've never heard of such a broken rule!"
"That's because you never come at this time!"
After finishing speaking, the Great Dominator stared at Augusta suspiciously: "Why did you come here at such an abnormal time today? Is your vampire maid on strike again?"
"Quintina never went on strike before!" Augusta raised her voice, "Does your store deliver food?"
The Great Ruler gasped: "What should come will always come! After years of psychological struggle, have you finally made up your mind to be a dead otaku who stays at home?"
"No! Damn, why do you think so!"
"Isn't it? My God, this is so abnormal! It must be a precursor to some catastrophe!"
"Of course not!" Augusta wanted to punch the cat, but he held back. The majestic nickname of "Great Ruler of Movania" is not for nothing, maybe it will directly blow him to the moon. "I just ordered a takeaway! Does your house deliver?"
"Theoretically, it is a gift." The Great Ruler said.
"Theoretically? Sounds suspicious..."
"Whenever someone calls in to order takeaway, I tell them it's very busy and the delivery guy won't be available for two hours. They usually walk away when they hear that."
"Your delivery man is too relaxed!"
"I don't have a delivery person at all, hehe."
"... You must have used some shady and despicable spells to make this restaurant last until now?"
"I'm a decent cat, so I won't do such nasty things." The Great Dominator raised his head smugly, "If you are willing to give enough tips, I think Antusha will probably be willing to take an extra part-time job — as a chef and as a delivery person.”
"Then ask her to make a roast lamb and send it to my house. If you want a whole lamb, make it now, and send it as soon as it's done."
The Great Ruler gasped again: "Why is it a whole roast lamb? Are you going to use it for some secret black magic ritual?"
"... It's for eating." Augusta said with a dark face.
"You summoned some kind of hungry abyssal dark monster?"
"No! Damn it!" Augusta cursed again, "But it's about the same... Uh... Anyway, tell Antusha to send it quickly!"
"Oh, oh, ok, ok." The great ruler responded perfunctorily. As soon as Augusta left the restaurant, it muttered in a low voice: "Huh, it must be the dark monster of the abyss. Those guys who perform magic all day long never care about moral laws. I think it's better to call the police."
The restaurant door opened again. Augusta has come and gone. The great ruler jumped up with his tail upright: "I just said it casually, I didn't intend to call the police! Don't be suspicious!"
The magician stared at it: "What did you say?"
"... Nothing! Why did you come back suddenly?"
"Forgot to take something."
"You came empty-handed, how could you forget something. Ah, did you leave your conscience in my shop?"
Augusta gave the cat a "cut" and walked to the photo wall in the restaurant. There are garish confetti on the walls and countless photos of couples (or people posing as couples) kissing. It appears that Movagna's "Spring of Love" campaign has been fruitful. It took Augusta a long time to find the one of him and Kefir kissing from a bunch of photos. In the photo, Kefir looked very excited, with a flush on his face, while Augusta looked sad, as if he had been stung by some insect. He tore the photo off the wall, looked at it, and stuffed it into his pocket.
"How can you take things from other people's stores casually!" The Great Dominator exclaimed in surprise.
"Because I lost my conscience." Augusta put her hands in her pockets, pressing the photo to prevent the big ruler from jumping over to snatch it shamelessly. But the Great Dominator just lay lazily on the counter, as if he didn't even have any interest in scolding him.
Augusta leaves Movagna. The sky was gloomy, and it was raining lightly. He snorted annoyedly, propping up a magical barrier above his head against the rain. Some passers-by hiding under the eaves of roadside buildings looked at him enviously, but this did not bring Augusta a good mood. In fact, since the dragon came to his house, his mood has never risen like a manned spacecraft returning to Earth. He thought it would be good to just deal with it for a few days, but he didn't expect to stumble on the first day—that dragon was too good to eat! He had eaten most of the food in the house, and was sitting in the dining room beating his fork on the bare plates, urging Augusta to go out for food like they were stingy hosts who didn't feed their guests.
While sighing, he stepped up the hillside, walked through the dense forest, and saw his own house in the distance, and... the unicorn galloping towards him.
"O-gu-th-ta!" screamed the unicorn, "how can you let a dragon live in our house! Are you crazy!"
"Thank you for reminding me of the fact that 'I'm crazy'," said the wizard darkly.
"You're still in the mood for a joke! Do you know what he did?"
"He ate kefir?"
"That's good!" The unicorn's voice rose an octave, "He ate my oats! My imported high-grade oats!" And then raised an octave, "That's shameless! I don't understand 'etiquette' at all How to write two words! How can you let this creature enter our door!"
... You really have the nerve to say it. Augusta thought gloomily. When you look at him, don’t you feel like you saw another self in the world? People say that same-sex repels each other, so it's not unreasonable for you to hate him.
"I want to run away from home!" the unicorn finally announced, "with him without me, with me without him!"
"That's really what I wish for. I'm just worried that the food expenses at home are too high."
"Augusta! I'm discussing a very serious matter with you, can you stop making jokes! I'm running away from home!"
"Hey... do as you please, you are an adult beast, I can't keep you if you want to go."
"If I leave, you will have no mount!"
"I'm planning to buy a car. After careful calculation, it seems that the money to maintain the car is less than the money to support you."
The unicorn snorted and followed Augusta to the house. "Hmph, I scared you, I'm not leaving, he should get out..."
At the entrance of the mansion, Guiyan was holding the door frame with one hand, and picking his teeth with a toothpick in the other. Kefir was holding on to the door frame on the other side, tearfully waiting for the owner to return. When he finally arrived at Augusta, he choked up and said, "Your Excellency! You are finally back! A few minutes later, he will start eating our sofa!"
Guiyan whistled happily: "Did you bring food back?"
"I ordered takeaway for you."
Guiyan looked curiously at the unicorn following the magician: "You mean that? That can be eaten too? That's great, I like to eat it raw!"
"I must run away from home!" the unicorn neighed frantically.
The magician rubbed his forehead. It's all your fault, Cavodian... it's all your fault! "Guyan, we will go to Kavodian as soon as you are full, and go immediately!"
