Chapter 22 - The Interview

"Why did you choose the Crimson Swordsman's Restaurant as the ideal place to work?"

"I…"

"Answer fast."

"Well, because Glover told me to come here."

"Hm, name?"

"Luciel ..."

"Age?"

"..."

"Age?" - repeated Don Armando.

"Twelve years."

"Is this your first job?"

"Yes."

"In this world, or both?"

"Both, this is the first time in my life that I looked for work."

"Inexperienced and young, wow ..."

"..."

"Do you live with your parents or alone?"

"..."

"Answer."

"I clearly live alone." - Luciel said that he felt uncomfortable when his family was mentioned.

"Where are you currently staying?"

"María's Inn."

"Hm, good place, Maria is a great person, and I've been trying to recruit Ron for a decade, the damn is the best cook in town and maybe in the county." - Don Armando said. - "How much money do you want to get in this job?"

"The essential."

"Essential for what?"

"To have a place to sleep and food to eat."

"Without great aspirations, what about spending it on alcohol or women?"

"What?"

"You know, get money to spend on alcohol, or to spend a night in the Night Plaza."

"No, I don't know what the night square is, but I'm too young to think about alcohol or women."

"You are twelve years old, but are you not interested in women or alcohol? They are something basic and essential for every man. "

"Well, I'm not that kind of man yet."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No."

"How many times a week do you have sex?"

"..." - Luciel tried to process what he had just heard, but he could not believe that he had heard such words. - "As?"

"Yes, how many times a week do you have sex?"

"What?!"

"Calm down and answer the question, how many times a week do you have sex? How many times a week do you have sex with a woman? Or a man if that's how your tastes are. "

"I think it is better that I leave." - Luciel said as he got up from his seat preparing to leave there.

"Sit down." - Don Armando said firmly. - "And do not feel offended or angry. Answer with confidence and without hesitation, do not be intimidated or offended by answering such a simple question, nothing will happen if you are sincere and answer the question, believe me, all your answers will be considered confidential, and only I will know the answers, and I promise not to tell them. to nobody."

"But ... I'm just a kid, I don't understand why you're asking me such an uncomfortable question."

"Well, you see Luciel, I think that everything in life has a reason for being." - Don Armando said. - "You see, sex, sex is very common, although the vast majority of people find it difficult to talk about it with confidence or speak it in public, and there are many who think that talking about it is taboo, the truth is that most of them have or have had sexual intercourse. It is something normal, natural and you should not be ashamed to talk about it. "

"I am just a child."

"Come on, in your age I already ..."

"A lot of information that I don't need to know."

"As you wish, but hey, don't be offended, as I told you, everything in life has a reason, and the reason why I now ask this question is because I have already had several cases in the past when I had to fire a couple of fools who were having relationships during work hours in my beloved establishment, that is not to be ashamed, as they dare to dirty this beautiful place with their fluids, do they not understand the sanctity that exists in a workplace, the professionalism and dedication that is required, especially in my beloved restaurant." - Don Armando said with some fury on his face.

"..."

"Yes, those damned ... since then I am more careful in hiring my staff, for that reason, I ask this question, men and women alike."

"Isn't that ... Harassment?"

"What? Of course not, after all, it is part of the interview. "

"Aha…"

"Well, everything seems perfect, you still owe me the last question, but hey, I'll let it go this time. Since Glover told me about your situation, I honestly thought of helping you, you are just a child and you find yourself living this ... "

"..."

"Well, congratulations Luciel, I'll hire you, the salary will be 15,000 Jules a month, and before you complain, it comes with three meals a day, and a place to sleep."

"Eh?"

"Yes, you will have a place to sleep, I always thought about what to do with that place, but with you here, there is already a solution."

In this way, Don Armando took him to the basement.

"I know it's not the best place to sleep, but it's better than nothing."

"Why is there a bed here?"

"Some time ago I used to spend a lot of time in the restaurant that I even slept here, although I haven't slept in this place for two years now, the bed still works, and there is a bathroom here which you can use."

"Whoa, but… is this okay?"

"I already decided yesterday, to be honest, it will be interesting to have an inhabitant of another world as my employee, also, which is the worst that can happen"

"Good…"

"How long are the days spent staying at the Posada de María?"

"This is my last night."

"Well, spend the night there, and tomorrow you can come with all your things"

"I have almost nothing."

"Well, we all started like that, so don't worry about that."

"..."

"But yes don't worry, everything will be fine, I can't tell you that I know how you feel, because I really don't know, but the best thing is that you get used to this world, to this new beginning in your life."

"Yes."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Luciel, I, Don Armando, Owner of the Crimson Swordsman's Restaurant, I welcome you." - He said while smiling.

"..." - When he saw Don Armando smile for the first time, Luciel was stunned, he didn't know what to say, this was better than he expected, he would earn money while having food and a place to sleep covered.

"This ... Can I really accept this?"

"Don't be indecisive, besides, you are already officially my subordinate, so, there is no going back."
