The princess gazed at Levi for a moment. "You are beautiful, want to become my maidservant, I will pay you well.
Wait, wait, wait… if I deny her request will she execute me? I can't take any risk.
"Open your mouth, how can you make princess wait? Do you have a death wish?" one of her soldiers said glaring at Levi.
"Don't be harsh on her," the princess said with a smile.
That's it, once they know I'm a guy, I will die.
"Princess, he… I mean she currently works for me and is one of the most established workers here-" Elmer said.
"How dare you talk back to the princess," the soldier grabbed Elmer's collar and shook him violently.
"Don't do that, leave him," the princess stopped him.
"What would you like, your highness?' Levi asked making sure he sounds girly as possible.
"Bring me the best and the most famous dish you have here," the princess replied.
"As you wish," Levi said. Both he and Elmer hurried to the kitchen.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! We are in trouble, she will kill me if she knows my true identity," Levi said distressed.
"Calm down, we just have to refuse to send you with her," Elmer replied.
"She is kind, we just have to make sure she doesn't know your true identity or death is not too far," Mello tried to calm him down.
"That's the main problem," Levi shouted.
"There's no point in shouting, maybe after eating she will leave," Hina said.
"Guys she is coming here," Daisy said who was keeping an eye on the princess.
"What will I do?" Levi started trembling.
"Calm down and start your acting," Hina supported him.
"So, this is the kitchen, a temporary one?" the princess asked.
"Yes, your highness," Elmer replied.
After that, she went back, had her food and left with a smile.
Levi sighed. "I'm safe.
All of them were relieved.
"The end of another day,' Levi said stretching his hands.
"You guys are doing good, I have made more profit compared to last year," Elmer exclaimed.
'Well, I'm happy," Levi replied.
The three of them smiled at him,
'Let's get going," Mello said.

THE NEXT DAY
"The hell is wrong with this skirt?" Levi shouted.
"Why is it even shorter?" Hina asked.
"As I told you before, the shorter the skirt the more customers we will have," Elmer reminded.
"A small of wind and that's it everything would be revealed," Mello said.
Yeah. Rejected," Daisy supported.
Hina grabbed his collar. 'If you think it's easy, why don't you try it?" She looked at him with her sharp eyes.
"The customers are waiting for us… let's go," Elmer said stammering.
*
The festival ended after three days; it was time for Elmer to close down his side business.
"Levi, since you worked hard, we made a nice profit, so, I'm planning to give you the double of what we agreed upon," Elmer announced.
Levi's eyes shined bright. "That's appreciated,' he said excitedly.
"Here are your 80 gold coins," Elmer hand3d him a small cloth which was tied on the top to hold the coins.
The three girls smiled at him. After that, it was time to take up some tasks so they went to the adventurers guild and sat around a table.
"It's time to split our reward," Levi announced.
'Well, 10 gold coins are enough I guess," Hina said.
But to their surprise, he placed 20 gold coins each before them.
"Wait, are you sure?' Daisy asked.
"You did the most of the work, we don't deserve it," Hina declared.
"Ah! Come on we are a team we divide our reward equally no matter what," Levi replied.
The three of them looked at him in disbelief.
"You have changed," Mello said shocked.
"Whatever," Levi replied.
*
After dinner, they returned back to the stable.
"With this money, we can rent out a house now," Hina announced.
"You are right, let's explore some houses tomorrow," Mello replied.
"The past few days have been busy and tiring," Levi sighed.
Mello and Daisy busted out laughing.
"You sure looked amusing in the costume," Daisy said wiping her tears due to laughing.
Levi kept a straight face.
"Come on, it was a hard task but still he pulled it off," Hina replied.
"Yeah, that's true, I respect you for that," Mello said.
"Whatever," I replied unbothered.
"Guys, I'm planning to visit my hometown," Mello let out.
"So?" Levi asked.
'I want you guys to come with me," Mello replied.
"I have to get rich; I don't have time to visit houses," Levi shouted.
"Who's calling you? And on top of that I don't want perverts to come to my house," Mello replied.
"Let's go, what are we waiting for," Daisy announced.
"I'm coming right?" Levi asked stammering.
Mello smirked at him.
*
"Why the hell do I have to carry everything," Levi shouted in frustration.
"Come on, four bags aren't going to kill you," Mello replied. "Load it in the cart."
"Can't we just use teleporting magic?' Levi asked.
"You aren't an expert in that yet and putting your body under stress is not good," Hina informed.
"Then why don't you carry these bags, huh?' Levi shouted.
"No, you can do that much," Hina replied.
"Ahhhhhhhh! I hate my life," Levi shouted as usual.
*
After travelling for 5 hours they finally reached Mello's village.
"I thought we were crossing the world and that cart was filled with people I couldn't even breath," Levi fell on the ground and all the luggage fooled him.
Levi groaned in pain.
"Take those bags away from me," Levi shouted his voice broke down.
"Levi, you shouldn't shout too much," Daisy said.
"Here, drink some water," Hina handed him a bottle.
"Learn something from these girls," Levi scolded Mello.
"Welcome to my hometown," Mello announced.
"I heard there are a lot of goblins in the forest of this city," Daisy announced.
"Wait, what/' Levi asked.
