On 24 hour restaurant, 3 PM where the sun shone brilliantly and the water in the pond glittered invitingly.

Amber sat back and let the disappointment soaked right into her bones, for the umpteenth time she had been rejected by her employer.

"W..Why the hell a high school diploma and birth certificate is necessary to get a part-time job!!!" Yelled Amber, on the street that filled with peoples that wore suits like it were their second skin.

"And how the hell I can get a job experience if every vacancy needs someone that already has experience!!!!"

Feet stomping harshly on the rough cobbled street, almost empty CV paper, annoyment pasted on her face and in her desperation she saw a waitress posted something on the store glass door.

A few hours before. Dew Apartment.

The rambunctious blaring of the small alarm clock jarred me out of my peaceful sleep and I jolted up, no it wasn't the alarm sound that woke me up, it was a sound that Three made when he crashed the clock onto the floor and smashed it repeatedly.

"Woof! Woof!"

"...Three stops woof woofing." I said while scratching my head that covered with a not too long nor not too short black hair.

Doing my morning routine, I sat on the lavatory staring at the grubby paint on the wall and humming with a smile plastered on my face; who wouldn't smile all day when today was the day they got their own business, just signed a few pieces of paper and voila.

Wearing my only formal clothes, a grey suit complemented with a grey trouser and plain scuffed shirt. "How do I look Three?" I asked Three that still fiercely ate his portion of breakfast and ignored me.

"....Whatever, be a good boy and don't make a mess." It was only an instant, but I saw a spark in his eyes right after I closed the door.

*****

The lawyer glanced down at the paperwork as if considering options. He glanced up again, serious but kindly, "Alright this is everything, have a nice day." Said the lawyer, leaving me and Christmas on the 2nd-floor office.

"Dang, I never know there are those many documents for transferring the ownership." I said while loosening my tie that been strangled my neck all these time.

"Me too.. By the way Dew, join my guild." Said Christmas out of the blue in his blue Hawaiian shirt and orange sunglass. Right after he said that a buzz came from my pocket.

"Eh, sure." As I took my phone to accept his invitation, there were two notifications came on Nameless App.

"...No wonder you never have a money problem, by the way can you pick another name? Augmented Maks sounds like a middle school rock band name."

"Why? this one sounds great."

"...Great eh? somehow I can't wait to know what name you'll give to your kids."

"Oh and one more thing, I found a great request, might need some help to complete it."

"Eh... what is the detail?"

"NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED?!" A yell like an exploding grenade came out of nowhere, reverberating through my ear, enough to make me jumped out from my seat.

What followed after that yell was Felice with her glossy shine skin and the salty drops rained down from her face. "No Dew.. I mean Boss, there is someone asking about the recruitment."

"Eh... Already? Damn, that's fast. Tell her to wait for five minutes, I have something to discuss with Christmas."

"No, no, no, I can wait, by the way I wanna see the interview process."

"Eh, I am not planning to do that, well whatever let's go the bar."

By day this bar wasn't that full, no music echoed on the air and there weren't that many chatters. As we walked down there were only five people, four of them was a regular that usually came at this hour while the other one was a girl, light brown hair that seemed not maintained tied to the back, and she was the perfect definition of a term 'The suit wear you.' and a leather bag that definitely didn't fit her appearance.

"Sorry, we aren't looking for a managerial position." I said to the girl while wondered why she seemed familiar.

"No! any position is fine! please, sir! I need this job!!" Begged the girl to me without introducing herself.

Minus 10 points... Somehow I have a bad feeling about this girl. "Oh, any experience in a service industry?"

"But you said you don't need an experienced worker!"

...Bad attitude, minus 10 points. "No I don't, just asking, let's start."

"Yep! I'm ready!"

"Okay... we're gonna do a roleplaying, me and this guy will be your guest while Felice will be your coworker." Without further instructions, I and Christmas sat at the nearby sofa, patiently waited for her to come and took our orders.

Minus 10 points. "Miss, we'll like to order some beers." I said as I raised my hand to call her.

"O..oh, right. Mr. Bartender! Two beers please!" ...Un..unbelieveable. She yelled like that from the distance?!

"Miss, change my order, I'm driving so I can't drink alcohol." Said Christmas.

"Oh, what do you want then?" ...Another minus.

"Actually, forget about it, I just remembered we need to go somewhere, here is your tip miss." I said while I put the tip on the table and without hesitation, the trainee took the money before we left and counted it right in front of our face.

"5$..10$ Alright sir, have a good day." Said the Girl.

"Eh, yes have a good day miss, please come back after you learn some manner."

Though I sure the way I said it was explicit enough, she tilted her head and in a confused tone, she asked. "Oh, is this the part where I should leave my number and you call me after a few days?"

"*Sigh* Nope, just go straight to your home, brush your teeth and pity yourself. Oh, just in case I do not make it clear again, you're rejected."

"What?! What is my mistake?!" ...She seriously asked that?!

"Eh I wonder, why don't you say it for yourself?"

"Ehm... wait a minute, erm..." with her chin resting on one hand as though deep in thought, she replied "I know! the way I stand right?! it is hard to stand with this shoes!"

"Nope, *sigh* you know what? just keep the tip, that should be enough for your bus ticket."

"Wait! wait, wait! I can do a magic, how about that? I can show you right here right now!"

"Eh, not interested." Yeah... I meant once people could do shit for real why would they wonder about a magic trick?

"Oh~? Magic you say? This seems fun, why don't you perform for us?" ...Thank you, Christmas for expressing your opinion.

"Alright, Watch this." She rolled her sleeve and showed her obvious dry tan skin. "You see, there is nothing on my hand right? right?" Asked the girl.

"....."

"Riiiiiiight?" Asked the girl one more time while she moved closer and showed her arm right in front of my face.

"...Yes, yes there is nothing on that."

"Fufu~" She took a tissue out of the box and continued to say "This is a normal tissue, no trick right? watch this." As she pointed her index and middle finger toward the tissue, she said "Fire Coating." Slowly while moving her fingers a track of fire coated the tissue and burned it down. "Ouch!" Though the fire spread faster and burned her hand.

As she sucked on her finger "...How about that?"

"Oh! Amazing, amazing! is there something else you can do?" Said Christmas.

"Something else? Ehm... Ah, can you see this bag?! it is empty right? there is nothing on it right?!" ...She showed us a brown leather bag that somehow looked very dark on it inside, as she put her hand in and ransacking the inside, a big doll that 100% impossible to fit into the bag came out from it and her made up sound effect followed it "Jaja~"

"Bravo! Bravo!" Said Christmas while he clapped his hand. "It is a yes from me! hey, Felice, Pablo how about you guys?"

"How do you do that?" Said Juan the bartender. "By the way it is a yes from me."

"You know Dew.. I mean Boss, you can make a magic show if she worked with us, so it is a yes from me!" Said Felice.

"Alright, It is decided!! Three yes! Congrats and welcome onboard~" Said Christmas

"Is that so?! Thank you, sir! I promise I won't disappoint you three~!" Said the girl.
