Magician Knights

Workup

The next day, as agreed, Adriana started working at the cake shop. At first Adriana was a little nervous, but in the end Adriana was able to stand up and step up with confidence.

When looking at the workers, it turns out that the workers are not too bad. Adriana was even surprised the first time she saw him. Wh why? Because it's...

"What's? Why would the boss hire a little girl like her?!"

"Really! She was too cute, gentle, sweet, this kind of childhood to work hard?!"

"Yes boss, we're not that short!"

"God boss, do you have a heart?!"

"Bos~"

The workers became rowdy after Adriana entered. Even now, some were holding onto their feet and clutching Uncle Nik's shirt without the slightest fear.

"Gosh, it's not as scary as I imagined." The girl's mind with a forced smile.

The workers were still in his position, fighting like that just for, Adriana(?). Even Adriana was still frozen in place digesting what was happening.

"Boss, why are you that big?"

"Enough!"

Uncle Nik went berserk like the hulk, throwing some of his workers. Fortunately, the workers were not seriously injured. Well, even though there are those who cry a little because of the pain.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" The workers nodded.

"Yes! Boss is a fool for making a little girl work hard!"

"God, this guy isn't afraid of dying what?" Adriana who had seen the incident earlier.

Uncle Nik just sighed heavily then looked towards Adriana. Adriana was able to jump in shock, without warning arrived Uncle Nik approached Adriana and patted her shoulder.

"I am bullying this little girl, because I acknowledge her ability!" Said Uncle Nik confidently and firmly.

"But, boss, that little girl-"

"Just relax, I'm not gonna make this kid work too hard." Said Uncle Nik while meeting Adriana.

Adriana nodded in understanding, then Adriana smiled at everyone cutely. Making the workers smile happily like they were above the clouds when they saw Adriana's sweet smile.

"Oh yeah, you said your name was Adriana right? This is Rian, the one who's gonna help you cook." Said Uncle Nik pointing at the guy named Rian.

"Hello Adriana." Said the man named Rian smiling sweetly.

"Ah, so the one who is not afraid of death is called Rian? But why, is his name on one of my letters?" Inner Adriana.

The reason why the names Rian and Adriana are almost the same will have an explanation in the chapter of Truth.

"My name is Adriana nice to meet you." Adriana replied to Rian's smile.

That was the beginning of Adriana's introduction to the workers at Uncle Nik's shop. One week has passed, it does not feel now how happy Adriana's life.

Apart from the shadows that disturbed her, it really made Adriana free.

The atmosphere of Reala City was indeed very noisy but somehow it made Adriana feel that she was not alone in this cruel world.

"Hey, please clear table number Three." Said Rian told one of the workers who had a little free time.

"I'm just." Adriana volunteered.

"Oh, all right, please, yeah, Adriana."

"Okay, Rian's brother."

Adriana came out of the kitchen cleaning the table number three. While cleaning the table, Adriana overhears the conversation of two mothers at the opposite table.

The mothers were talking about the school of witches and knights who would soon start their registration schedule.

"Did you know? Reala's greatest Knight School is about to hold its entrance exam?"

"You mean that great Knight's knight school?"

"Knight Knight school?" It was Adriana who heard that.

"Ah, if I am anyway, prefer witch school, Witch."

"It's a pity, when I thought my son and your son could go to the same school."

"Hahaha, sorry."

Adriana had thought about going into one of those schools. But he knew that it might just be an ordinary delusion, but he still wanted to try it.

The working hours were over, the bakery was closed and Adriana went home with Uncle Nik. Of course because Adriana was staying at Uncle Nik's house.

In the middle of that night's journey, Uncle Nik kept staring at Adriana a little adorable. Adriana looked at the big orange-haired uncle with those red eyes.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

"Adriana, do you want to go to that school?"

Adriana raised one eyebrow after that turned her face continuously thinking. The burly uncle beside Adriana was still faithfully waiting for an answer.

"Yes uncle, but it might just be my delusion."

"Then, what if I help you?"

Adriana quickly looked at the orange-haired uncle. Uncle Nik smiled gently, knowing that Adriana really wanted it.

"Really?" Adriana's eyes twinkled.

"Yes, after all, I've also considered you as an uncle's own son."

"Thank you uncle!"

Adriana hugged Uncle Nik very tightly with a sweet smile engraved on her face. Uncle Nik just stroked Adriana's head gently and knelt adjusting her body to Adriana's body.

"No need to hesitate, learn diligently, yes. Don't disappoint me." Said Uncle Nik patting Adriana on the shoulder.

"Yes, I will definitely not disappoint uncle!" Adriana said excitedly.

A smile was engraved on the faces of the two, but a few long intervals of smiles on Uncle Nik's face began to disappear somehow.

Uncle Nik quickly stood up and shook Adriana's hand leaving millions of question marks on Adriana's head.

Arriving at home, Adriana sat on the sofa and continued to observe the movements of Uncle Nik who looked sad. Adriana's heart was like slashed when she saw the sad face of Uncle Nik.

"Uncle, what's wrong? Why is Uncle so sad?" Adriana was worried.

"Hm? It's okay." Said Uncle Nik and went into the room.

"It may be disrespectful, but curiosity haunts me even more!" Inner Adriana.

Curious and worried, Adriana opens the door to Uncle Nik's room and does not knock on the door first. A sad look was painted on Uncle Nik's face at this time.

"Why are you staying there? Come on over here." Said Uncle Nik who seemed to have known the arrival of Adriana from earlier.

Adriana began to hesitate to enter but in the end Adriana went into Uncle Nik's room with a slightly frightened look.

"Ma, sorry, I didn't mean to be presumptuous but-"

"It's okay." Said Uncle Nik smilingly hiding his sadness.

"Uncle, if there's a problem, please let me know right now."

Uncle paused for a moment, "I, this might be a bit selfish but, can you please not call me Uncle?"

"Yes?" Adriana was a little confused about what Uncle Nik said.

"I mean, pa, call me dad!" The orange-haired man said a little embarrassed.

Adriana was surprised and clearly seemed to hold back her laughter. Even though she was held back, Adriana even laughed out loud. Makes the man start to shake and his cheeks more blushing.

"That's all?" The man nodded.

"All right then, dad!" Adriana smiled very charming to make the heart of the man called the father beat fast.
