Kid 1: I won! I won!

Ji Bai: Little devil, get your leg off me! The game is already over!

Everyone but Ji Yue’s father chuckled at Ji Bai’s predicament.

Ji Bai dusts himself off

Kid 1: Demon, now you know how good I am at this game!

Ji Bai: You’re amazing. You defeated a demon.

He gives the kid a toy

Ji Bai: Here, this is your reward.

Kid 1: Wow! It’s the Skyglory knight!

Kid 1 gives the toy to his companion

Kid 1: If you like it, I can give it to you.

Kid 2: Really? You’re so kind!

(timeskip to Ji Bai sitting down on his phone)

Ji Bai: Phew. Are all kids nowadays able to read girls’ minds?

Ke-er looked at Lilith and asked, “Is Master Ji Bai a male or female?” Lilith looked at the little cat girl before smiling mischievously and saying, “Ji Bai still hasn’t accepted his vampire identity so until then Ji Bai can be considered a male, but that male form is an illusion.” 

Notification pops up “ reminder 10:30 interview” the time is 10:22 btw

Lin burst out laughing, “ Damn, that sucks!” Lin awkwardly 

Ji Bai sprints faster than Usain Bolt 

Boss: The one dressing up as a demon! You haven’t returned the costume yet!

Ji Bai: Shit! I’m late!

Time for a monologue

Ji Bai: My name is Ji Bai. I used to be a knight. Currently, I’m working part-time as a demon cosplayer at the playgrounds right now. I’m doing my best to start a new life. I must find a proper job in order to survive.

Monologue end

Ji Bai arrives at the workplace

Ji Bai: Bro, give me a chance!

Shows two guards dragging a begging Ji Bai out

Lylias quietly growled at the two guards on screen.

Ji Bai: I was late because of heavy traffic! I really need this job! Please, I beg…

Ji Yue’s heart hurt to see her brother like that.

Ji Bai is thrown out the door

Ji Bai: … You!

The door slams shut

Both Lylias and Ji Yue made a mental note to “visit” the manager of the business.

Ji Bai: Sigh… I got rejected again. This is probably the 50th time including today… sigh.

Lin Tuo stared in disbelief, “Fifty times, how did he get rejected FIFTY TIMES!?!?

His stomach growls

Ji Bai: Forget it. I’m going to have some food first…

Ji Bai goes to a restaurant on business street, very depressed.

Ke-er looked at her master with sadness. Everyone felt sad for Ji Bai, except Ji Yue’s father who watched with a bored expression on his face.

Chef Wang: Welcome~!

Ji Bai: Uncle Wang I’d like a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

Chef Wang: Oh it’s you!

Ji Bai: Sigh…

Chef Wang: Did you get into trouble again?

Ji Bai: Stop it…

Chef Wang: Look at you. You only eat vegetarian food, how on earth are you going to carry heavy stuff? Why don’t you try chicken noodles today?

Ji Bai: No thanks, I have this much money only.

The chef leaves to prepare the food. While waiting Ji Bai saw an advertisement for knight enrollment and dismissed it as fake.

Chef Wang: Noodles are here! Please enjoy!

Ji Bai sees the meat in his noodles.

Ji Bai: Uncle Wang…

Wang gives him a smile and a thumbs up

Ji Bai: Thanks

Four knights enter the shop

Manda groaned, remembering the incident.

Knight 1: Where’s the owner, come out!

Lylias scoffed, “Rude.”

Chef Wang: Welcome~! What would these four esteemed knights like to eat?

Knight 1: We’re not here to eat. We receive a mission from the higher-ups. We’re hunting down a demon who escaped into this city.

Ke-er realised what they were talking about and her face morphed into a sorrowful expression.

Ji Bai: *Knight? Demon? At this place?*

Chef Wang: Demon?

Knight 2 : Exactly! We entrusted a sacred knight who majors in divination with the task of foreseeing the demon’s current position based on it’s escape route, and it’s in the vicinity of your shop!

Knight 3: Your shop is the only building in this area that can be used as a hideout… I’m sure you understand what I’m talking about?

Li Lan looked at the knights in disgust, “How low can these knights get? They are accusing an innocent man and hunting a child down like a criminal!”

Chef Wang: P-P-Please wait! Esteemed knights, sirs, harbouring demons is a huge crime. My shop is rarely visited by customers, let alone a demon!

Knight 2: Hmph, isn’t an empty shop the best hiding place?

Knight 1: Search!

The knights immediately start to search the shop, also forcefully pushing Wang back.
