New Mission

The leather strap handed to Su Ran had several neatly arranged metal rings on it. Winnie was tightening it for Su Ran herself.

“Manager, it’s too tight. I can’t breathe.”

“It’s normal not to be used to it at first. Just bear with it and get used to it. You’ll have to learn to put it on yourself in the future.”

After speaking, Winnie fastened the buckle of the strap, ensuring it was snug against Su Ran’s delicate, fair skin and wouldn’t suddenly fall off.

Yuan Shirui at the side was already so shocked by the impactful scene before her that she was speechless, looking at Su Ran with a gaze full of pity.

As fellow maids, none of the others in the shop had ever been made to wear this leather collar by the manager.

This was simply…

Feeling the sense of restraint from her skin, in addition to wearing the maid outfit, Su Ran felt another strange sense of shame, constantly worried that someone would notice the leather collar on her skin.

Winnie reached out and hooked it with her finger to check the tightness, then gave it a firm pull.

“Come on, try walking a few steps to get used to it.”

Following Winnie’s instructions, Su Ran awkwardly took a step. She wasn’t used to the restraint coming from the collar.

“Come on, walk more confidently. No one will notice.”

Winnie, walking in front, offered her comfort like a demon’s whisper, causing the ashamed Su Ran following behind her to gradually ignore the collar she was wearing and regain her composure.

‘If what the manager said at the end counts as education, my god, what new business direction is the Sakura Cafe trying to pioneer?’

If Su Ran and Winnie knew what Yuan Shirui, standing beside them, was thinking, they might have teamed up to give her an unforgettable experience of a women’s doubles match.

The leather strap Winnie gave Su Ran was just a garter belt. How could she have imagined so many strange scenarios?

It used the extending straps to secure the cuffs of the black stockings, preventing them from slipping down as she walked.

According to Winnie, after getting used to the feeling of the garter on her thigh, she could even switch to a weapon harness and hang some throwing knives or a pistol on her thigh.

If she encountered an extreme situation where she couldn’t use magic essence, she could still draw a weapon from the harness to face the enemy.

No matter how much Su Ran protested, upon hearing that the garter had significant practical applications in combat, she endured the shame and, with Winnie’s help, put on the accessory.

Looking down now, Su Ran could see two lace straps extending from the front of her skirt, hooking onto the black stockings she was wearing today.

As she moved, the straps would noticeably tighten and loosen.

What Su Ran needed to get used to now was the restraint of this garter, to minimize its impact on her normal walking.

“Alright, with the garter on, all the accessories for this maid outfit are complete.”

Winnie looked Su Ran up and down from the side and said with satisfaction, confirming there were no other issues that needed correcting.

“Except for a few minor details that need to be adjusted, nothing else is needed. You’ll get the new uniform in two days.”

“It’s finally over.”

After getting Winnie’s reply, Su Ran stretched her waist, relieved, and prepared to take off the maid outfit.

“Who said you could take off the clothes?”

However, Winnie reached out and stopped her.

“Dinnertime is the best time for you to review what you’ve learned today.”

“Manager, what do you mean?”

…the words Winnie spoke made Su Ran a bit confused. What did she mean by reviewing what she learned today?

The only things she had learned today were how to carry a tray and how to draw a heart on omurice with ketchup.

“Once you’ve put on this maid outfit, you should learn how to serve customers.”

Saying this, Winnie pointed to herself and Yuan Shirui.

“From tonight until your debut day, every evening you will treat us as your customers and apply the knowledge you’ve learned to us. You can only eat after you receive a passing evaluation from us.”

“So for now, let’s first review how to hold a tray properly.”

Dinnertime today was exceptionally fulfilling for Su Ran.

After several corrections from Winnie, she finally mastered the skill of holding a tray steady.

As for drawing a heart on omurice, it wasn’t difficult.

Besides the omurice the three of them ate, Su Ran just used a few extra plates for practice.

What warmed Su Ran’s heart was that Winnie and Yuan Shirui waited until she had passed her review on all the key points before eating with her.

In order not to let the two of them go hungry, Su Ran put a lot of thought into correcting her mistakes when they were pointed out.

At this moment, Su Ran was still wearing the sample maid outfit, not having changed out of it.

But she was already lying on the bed, too tired to get up.

Besides the on-the-job training, it was also because she had dealt with Li Ming today.

The combination of these two things had consumed a lot of Su Ran’s energy.

‘I wonder how Isa is doing?’

Su Ran hadn’t had a chance to open her phone today to see if Isa had set off for Tukulu yet.

According to the agreement with the Lord of Blackstone City, their team heading to Tukulu was already prepared, just waiting for the leader’s command to depart.

‘That witch named Canlisa should have joined them.’

[Series Quest Initiated: Reshape the Witches’ Faith]

[Due to years of persecution by the Church, the witches have lost their faith in the Primordial Witch. Please reshape the witches’ faith. Obtain one Pious Follower and fifty Shallow Believers.]

[Current Quest Progress: 1/1 Pious Follower, 0/50 Shallow Believers]

[Failure of a single quest will not result in a penalty, but failure of the series quest will lead to Isa’s death. Host, please be mindful!]

As soon as she entered the game, a large quest pop-up window appeared in front of Su Ran.

Ever since the “Witch’s Revenge” quest ended, the Witch Game had only issued one quest to go to Tukulu.

Now, another series quest had started before Su Ran, and this time it would affect Isa’s life.

This made Su Ran have to take it seriously. She first went to check the identity of the Pious Follower.

[Name: Isa]

[Sequence Level: Sequence Three]

[Faith: Saint]

‘Isa is a Saint? A faith even more devout than a Fanatic.’

Since she already had a Pious Follower, Su Ran now had to find a way to get fifty Shallow Believers to complete this quest.

With Isa’s life at stake, she couldn’t afford to be the slightest bit careless.

There was one more thing that concerned Su Ran.

What was the trigger mechanism for the Witch Game’s quests?

Why would the Witch Game, which had been quiet for so long, suddenly pop up with a new series quest when she logged in today?

Regarding this point about quests, if she could figure out the quest refresh mechanism, she would be able to obtain more rewards by completing quests, forming a virtuous cycle.
