Sign of the Zodiac: Taurus
Workup

“Are you crazy? Your body is like that but you're still thinking about working?” cecar Andres is angry.

“I'm fine. Wounds like this won't kill me,” said Bianco who has now risen from bed.

The young man walked to his closet and began preparing work uniforms. No one can stop Bianco. Even Ekhtuya just looked at him without commenting anything.

“Bianco, we better just close today. Miss Beatris must have understood your circumstances. It won't be a problem if it only closes one day. At least you have to restore your body a little, and tomorrow you can start working,” Angelo pleases.

Bianco turned to his friends. He then smiled thinly while carrying his work shirt that was hanging neatly.

“It's okay, Angelo. Don't worry,” said Bianco calmly. “Now please get you guys out. I have to change clothes.”

Bianco was already behind his bar table in full uniform. His wounds had been neatly bandaged by Ekhtuya. Even so his battered face could not be covered with anything. One of his eyes was slightly swollen with a bluish bruise. His lips were torn and his temple was covered in a small bandage. Anyone who saw Bianco would definitely feel pity.

“You are really a boring guy, Bianco,” Adena is already sitting sweetly in front of the bar table. He observed Bianco who seemed to be enduring the pain in his body.

Bianco simply smiled in response to Adena.

“When you experience such violence but still think about your boring work. You are as crazy as this place,” continued Adena while laughing blandly.

Bianco still isn't budging. He was busy making drink displays for fifteen table orders. His entire body in pain made his working speed slightly decrease. Therefore Bianco should be more focused and choose to ignore Adena.

“By the way that woman wasn't a bar visitor yesterday? Who is from the Giyatsa tribe? Why is he working with you today?” adena asked as she nodded towards Ekhtuya who was attacking the water to make a warm drink.

Ekhtuya stood in the corner of the bar which was quite far away from them. Even so its striking presence still invites the attention of visitors. Some people came to him earlier. But because Ekhtuya did not care about them, the people became angry. Lucky Bianco had enough authority in that bar. The people who were looking for trouble were immediately kicked out by Andres and Baltazar. Bianco could also use the surname Manolette to scare them. Now, the curious people on Ekhtuya could only see the girl from afar.

“He helped me today. And because I wanted to return the favor, I gave him a job. He said he needed money,” Bianco said frankly.

Adena was stunned for a moment. A few minutes later his laughter exploded. Tears came out of Adena's eyes.

“What is it called return of gratitude? You told her to work instead of giving her money for granted,” Adena said amid her laughter.

“I've offered it like that. But he said he didn't want to. The girl asked to be hired. Fortunately he was clever. Maybe he can also be useful to repel the intruding flies,” explained Bianco.

“You really just took advantage of it, Bian. Of course you're a little better than everyone else. But you're still a Nuchas.”

Bianco shrugged his shoulders lightly. “He himself asked for it. I never forced.”

“Good. It's up to you. I can't sit here for long tonight. The new boy in the Red House has lost his charm. My old customers are starting to miss me. I have two appointments tonight. So I go now, yes,” Adena said sambir put two bronze keeps to pay for his drink.

“Yes go,” says Bianco short.

The girl helped him do heavy work such as lifting buckets of water and attacking him with a large pot, to deliver orders to customer tables. Bianco couldn't do it all because of his injured shoulder and arm. He was really curious why Ekhtuya kept helping him. This is the third time Ekhtuya has helped Bianco. He never did anything for the girl.

The situation inevitably eventually made Bianco curious. Bianco is not a person who likes to interfere in the affairs of others. He was always indifferent to anyone or anything outside of himself and Beatrice. But several times met with Ekhtuya make Bianco's curiosity tickled. The mysterious woman managed to attract Bianco's attention.

“Are you not tired?” bianco asked when Ekhtuya had returned from delivering the order. The red apron and matching headgear never looked so adorable before it was worn by the girl.

“It's easy job,” said Ekhtuya short.

“It looks like you're used to working.”

“You could say so. My job is actually a lot harder than this. That's why I really enjoy being here. I can also search for the person I need. Who knew he would come here,” timbal Ekhtuya while putting a tray under the bar table.

“Actually who are you looking for that?” ask Bianco curious.

Ekhtuya seemed to think for a moment. “He is a very important person, also very strong. He will save this continent from the terror chogr.”

“Choru?” bianco asked confusedly. He had never heard that term before.

“Iya. Chogoru. Evil spirit man-eater.”

“Oh, you mean malignos.”

“Will they be called here? I think what you mean is the same as what I thought. That evil spirit has many names in the twelve tribes of Luteria,” Ekhtuya later explained.

“Is the person you are looking for the one who can defeat malignos?” Bianco asked again.

“True. Have you heard of the Ehawee tribe's prophecy?” ekhtuya replied asking. Bianco recalled his conversation with Adena a while back. Adena also spoke of the Ehawee tribe's divination and the roles of the horsemen of Giyatsa. Does that mean Adena's words aren't just gossip?

“Well, more or less I know,” replied Bianco later.

“I was one of the twelve horsemen from Giyatsa who were tasked with finding the zodiac warriors of the Nuchas tribe. I've been around this place for more than two months, but found nothing,” said Ekhtuya gloomily.

“What kind of person is in the prophecy?”

“I was only told that the man would give me a sign when the time had come. They did not explain what kind of signage was meant. So all this time I can only wait,” explained Ekhtuya again.

Bianco took a deep breath. It seems like the girl's job is much harder than just being a bar worker. Somehow Bianco felt like helping Ekhtuya. But what can he do?
