Tiera’s reaction when she finally understood what Schnee meant was as followed; she opened her eyes wide, her mouth formed an ‘O’ shape, and she almost dropped the kitchen knife she was holding. She was indeed easy to read.
“Isn’t she is a bit too surprised?”
“Because the common knowledge among the general public is that you don’t exist anymore, it’s no wonder that she is so surprised.”
“Who wouldn’t be surprised!? The manager, the… legendary manager!?”
“Eh? What? Am I known as the legendary manager?”
“That’s not it!! I mean a High Human!!”
“But, didn’t I tell you that when we first met?”
“Normally no one would believe it…”
The scene of Tiera losing her composure alone was amusing, but Shin was beginning to think that this might be the normal response. Like Tiera said, normally if someone said “I am High Human” or something like that, no one would take them seriously. But the best witness, Schnee Raizar, was here. Because she wouldn’t mistake the person she had actually served, it could be said that her testimony about Shin being the real deal, a High Human, was the definite proof. In the meantime, Tiera’s face turned pale.
“I’m terribly sorry, I didn’t realize you were the manager!!”
“Yes?”
“Kuu!”
She was completely transformed from the shock. Tiera bowed vigorously.
This time, it was Shin’s turn to be surprised.
What was she thinking of, because Yuzuha put its paw on the lowered head of Tiera, and Shin also stopped her immediately.
(This is…that, huh? That feeling when the other party casually speaks to their superior. Even though I experienced that shock, I still got flustered.)
The partner with whom Shin got along with, at his old part-time job, was in fact the shop manager, so he could understand a bit of Tiera’s feelings. Though it wasn’t a straight comparison, the partner who unbeknownst talked overly familiarly with their superior, often fretted and felt embarrassed when they found out.
Seeing Tiera in a flustered state made Shin unconsciously feel some pity.
“Don’t worry about it. I understand your feelings.”
“Eh? Oh, yes.”
