Ep 3: The Knight gets a job

In a morning, Alexander was waking up. He was on a single bed, using a pajama and realized the alarm clock was making noise. It was 7:00 a.m. He felt little sleepy.

Alexander: That's so heavy. (Yawning) I prefer the rooster's songs.

Then, he took a bath, brushed his teeth, and got ready in front of mirror.

Later at school. Alexander was reading a book about fiction. Asuka and Nao came closer to him.

Nao: Alexander-san, do you like fiction very much?

Alexander: It's for some information about here.

Nao: I see, you really want to do your performance as knight from old times, right?

Alexander: In fact, I was searching information about the magic source…

Asuka: (Interrupting comically) Ah! Nao, can you buy me a tea drink, I need it urgently!

Nao: (Little confused) Eh? Okay.

Nao leaves the classroom. Then Asuka was upset with Alexander.

Asuka: (In low voice) I told you, do not mention anything about your past and these events!

Alexander: Sorry, it's just hard to believe there's no magic in this world, also many things about my past were used as fiction stories. (Showing a book about medieval story) Like this, it's a little similar like where I came from.

Asuka: Nevermind, just keep acting as normal boy. Okay?

Later, at break time, Alexander was thinking a little. Asuka and Nao went to him.

Nao: Alexander-san, would you mind to telling us where you live?

Alexander: Well I received the help of Asuka's grandmother.

Nao: Eh? Asuka, one of your relatives helped Alexander-san to live in a place?

Asuka: It's because my grandma knows him.

Nao: Then, would you allow us to visit your place?

Asuka: Wait! I don't even ask about that!

Alexander: Sure.

Nao: (Happy) That's good!

Asuka: (Little worried) But…

Later; Alexander, Asuka and Nao arrived at his room at a property.

Asuka: Well, unless my grandma gave you a room where to live.

Nao: Asuka, you shouldn't say that.

Alexander: Would you like to enter?

Inside his room, Asuka and Nao were a little confused.

Alexander: Sorry for this, I didn't have time to clean.

Asuka and Nao saw it was a little room with a bed, a kitchen, a refrigerator, a washing machine, a table in the center of the room, a tv, a little bookcase with some books. Also there was a bathroom with a tub.

Nao: Well, unless you have the basic.

Asuka: My grandma was too busy to get all of this.

Alexander: I owe her help, but I think I need some more. And I don't want to cause her more spending.

Asuka: Then, how do you plan to solve your needs?

Alexander: According to this time, people work to obtain money for needs.

Nao: Then, why don't you get a job?

Alexander: A job? Like what? Maybe as a rancher, or a peasant?

Asuka: (Funny worried) I think there's no job like that in this city.

Nao: I don't know, why don't you ask in the city center. Maybe you can find something you can do.

Alexander: Okay, I'll try tomorrow.

At next day in the morning, Alexander was walking in the city looking some jobs ads.

He arrived at pet shop.

Owner 1: How would you train a dog and a cat?

Alexander: Simply, I'll train them to track an enemy and then allow them to bite him until he is defeated.

Alexander was quit from that shop. Then he tried in a supermarket.

Owner 2: When a customer ask you for some rice and cereals, what will you say?

Alexander: He can obtain them in an old mill or just harvesting in a farm.

He was quit again. He tried in others stores but he was still quit by his answers in the job interviews.

Later, he was still looking for a job but he was in funny depressed and tired.

Alexander: (In his state) I don't get it, why people don't like the usual things I did in my time. Oh! There's another store. (He saw a cafeteria) Maybe there's something to eat! Looking for job is making me hungry.

He entered to the cafeteria and saw the menu.

Waitress 1: Welcome! Would you like to try our desserts?

Alexander: Eh? Well, would you let me to check those… desserts?

Waitress 1: Sure, take your time.

Alexander was sit on a table while checking the menu card. Also noticed some boys and girls as waiters in the cafe. There were some customers too.

Alexander: I didn't know that kind of costume serves in this store. The girls look like maids from castles. (He saw the desserts prices) This one looks great but I have to save money in case I don't find a job.

Waitress 2: Can I take your order?

Alexander: (Pointing a dessert) I want to try this.

Waitress 2: At your order.

Alexander: (Feeling little tired) I hope I find a job.

Suddenly he heard a complaining of a waitress. She was being bothering by a guy costumer.

Waitress 3: Please, don't bothering me!

Customer guy: Come on, babe. I'll pay an extra if you go with me to a hotel tonight.

Waitress 3: I don't wanna!

Then the cafeteria owner arrived to them.

Cafe owner: Is there a problem, young man?

Customer guy: I just want to borrow one or two of your waitresses for a special service.

Cafe owner: Sorry but my employees can't serve that kind of service.

The other customers paid attention what is happening, including Alexander.

Customer guy: (Angry and standing up) Eh? What's your problem, old man? Aren't you happy that I'll pay you for one of your employees?

Cafe owner: Please calm down.

Customer guy: In that case. (Taking the waitress' hand by force) I'll take her with me without your permission.

Waitress 3: No! Let me go!

Customer guy: Come on, we'll have a good night.

The owner was attempting to stop him but suddenly someone grabbed the customer guy's hand breaking free the waitress.

Customer guy: Who did this?

Alexander: Enough! That's not the way to treat a girl!

Customer guy: (Realizing his presence) Who the hell are you? A foreigner?

Alexander: She said she doesn't want to go. So let her in peace.

Customer guy: (Angry) Screw you!

The customer guy tried to hit him but Alexander moved fast and hit him on his belly nearly knock him.

Alexander: Now, get away and don't bother helpless girls!

Customer guy: You'll pay for this, blonde boy!

The customer guy run away leaving the cafeteria.

Alexander: (To the waitress) Are you okay?

Waitress 3: Yeah, thanks.

Alexander: No problem.

Cafe owner: I didn't see something like that. Sometimes a group of bad customers came to bother my waitresses but my waiters can't handle them too much. But you, you look great defending my employees.

Alexander: This is nothing, sir. But I think I leave, I need to find a job.

Cafe owner: Do you need a job? Then, why don't you work with me in my cafeteria. You could improve our services.

Alexander: Eh? Really?

At next morning at school, Alexander was little happy and smiling. Asuka and Nao noticed that.

Asuka: Why are you happy, Alexander?

Alexander: What happen is I got a job!

Nao: Really, good for you, Alexander-san.

Asuka: Then, which is your job?

Alexander: A waiter in a cafe.

Asuka and Nao: (Little confused) Waiter?

After school, Alexander went to the cafe, arriving at time.

Alexander: I'm here!

Cafe owner: Oh, welcome. Are you ready for you first time working here?

Alexander: Sure.

Cafe owner: By the way I'm Mr. Mitsuba. I hope you can adapt to this job.

Alexander: Yeah, I'll do my best!

Mr. Mitsuba: (Giving him stuffs) Here, your costume, and also the cafe rules and protocols. I think you can understand this job, good luck!

Later, Alexander was dressed as a waiter and along with the other waiters, the store began to attend.

Alexander: Can I take your order?

A group of girls was fascinating and also in love to see Alexander in waiter costume.

Alexander: Can I take your order?

Another group of girls also was in love with him.

Alexander: Can I take your order?

He continued taking orders as a gallant. The girls customers were blushed to see him. The waitress were in love too.

Waitress 1 : Oh my! Alexander-kun is so hot!

Waitress 2: Yeah!

Waitress 3: He's the one who saved me the other day, I wish I could have a date with him as a reward.

However, the boy customers and waiters were with envy to see Alexander taking all the attention of the girls.

Waiter 1: That new guy, is calling all the attention of the girls.

Waiter 2: Yeah, as he was a good-looking guy.

Alexander: (Taking an order) Your order is here, ladies. Enjoy it!

Customer girl 1: Wow! Thanks!

Customer girl 2: You are so handsome!

Alexander: (Little uncomfortable) Yeah, thanks, ladies!

Customer girls: (In love) Wow! We wish all boys act like him!

But suddenly he heard a waitress' scream.

Waitress 4: (Blushed and upset) Why did you do that?

Customer punk 1: And what is the problem by letting you touching your butt?

Waitress 4: (Covering her skirt) You're the worst!

Customer punk 1: Eh? That's the way you treat a customer? I'll give you more money if you make an exotic dance and strips in front of my group.

Customer punk 2: Yeah, do it!

Customer punk 3: Undress you for us!

Waitress 4: Go to the hell!

The waitress threw the desserts she was carrying to them. That made them angry.

Punk 1: You bitch! Undress for us or else…

The waitress was scared but suddenly Alexander walked in front of her.

Punk 1: Eh? Who the hell are you?

Waitress 4: Alexander-kun!

Alexander: Stay back.

Punk 2: Wait, that blonde guy. Isn't he the guy whom he told us?

Punk 3: Of that day?

Alexander: He?

Alexander noticed that the customer guy of that day. To whom he hit by defense, he was with the group of punks.

Customer guy: Yeah, that's him. Give him a lesson!

Punk 1: I see, so he's that bastard!

The customers were worried what is happening.

Mr. Mitsuba: (Arriving) Wait, no! Calm down!

Alexander: And what if I am.

The punks took some stuffs like knife, a baseball bat and a chain attempting to attack him.

Punk 1: Now let's see how rude you are.

Alexander: You don't have honor to fight.

Mr. Mitsuba: No please, don't destroy my cafeteria.

Alexander: (Realizing) Oh yeah, a rule is do not make disaster and damages in a work site.

Punk 1: What are you talking about, kid?

Alexander: Then, let's resolve this, outside! (To the owner and employers) Please, don't follow us. You don't have to see this.

Alexander with the punks went outside the cafeteria.

Punk 1: You have guts to challenge us, kid!

The punks took their weapons and were ready to attack him.

Alexander: Tsk! We'd better finish this quickly. I have some customers to attend.

Punk 2: You brat!

Punk 3: You dare to talk in this situation!

Alexander: You have no honor, fighting with dirty weapons.

Punk 1: Get him!

The punks attacked him but Alexander dodged in time. Punk 1, who used a knife, Alexander dodged and knocked him out. Punk 2 and 3 attacked him with the baseball bat and the chain, but Alexander jumped back causing his weapons to become entangled. Alexander grabbed the weapons and pull making the punks 2 and 3 crushed with their faces knocking them.

Punk 1: (Angry) You bastard!

The punk 1 attacked him with the knife. But he kicked him making him dropped the knife. The customer guy was surprised how Alexander defeated the punks only with his hands.

Customer guy: No way! No way! You beat them with no weapons! You are crazy!

He tried to escape but Alexander run and catched him making him falling.

Customer guy: Who are you?

Alexander: I'm just a boy who came to find a job, and learn this town culture.

Later, the customer guy and the punks were hurt, Alexander was with them.

Alexander: You were lucky I didn't kill you. (With menaced stare) Don't ever come to cause troubles here!

Customer guy and punks: (Funny scared) Yes! (They were leaving)

Alexander: (Throwing the knife in front of them, stopping and scaring them) Idiots! Don't leave without paying your orders!

Alexander didn't noticed two strangers with black cloaks were observing that scene.

Then, Alexander returned to the cafeteria.

Alexander: Sorry for leaving the work.

Waitress 1: Alexander-kun.

Waitress 4: Are you okay? Did those guys hurt you?

Alexander: I guess those guys owe you this. (Giving the money from them) Here, for your services.

Waitress 4: Eh, thanks.

Mr. Mitsuba: Alexander, sorry. I didn't want you get in our problem.

Alexander: It's okay, Mr. Mitsuba, after all a rule is to keep the work site's image in good condition.

Waiter 1: He was rude.

Waiter 2: I'm glad he is in our side.

Meanwhile Asuka and Nao were walking together.

Nao: I wonder if Alexander-san is doing well at his job.

Asuka: Yeah, I doubt he's getting problem. (Thinking little worried) "Even he's a medieval warrior".

Later, at the cafeteria, Alexander was ready to leave.

Alexander: Okay, boss, I leave.

Mr. Mitsuba: Well, Alexander, take care. (Alexander leaves) I need to think a new name to the cafeteria, well; I'll ask my employees tomorrow.

Alexander was walking, but suddenly he saw the two strangers who were spying him before.

Stranger 1: So you are Alexander, the Dragon knight.

Alexander: Who are you?

Stranger 2: Let's see, it's just we are under orders of Demitri.

Alexander: (Realizing and making him upset) Demitri!

Stranger 1: Let's play with him!

Alexander: Wait! Follow me, I don't anyone gets involve in this!

Alexander run away to the forest.

Stranger 2: You won't escape!

The strangers run following him.

On the other side, Asuka and Nao keep walking until arriving the bus stop.

Nao: Well Asuka, see you tomorrow.

Asuka: Yeah. (She noticed Alexander running while the strangers were following him) Alexander!

Nao: What's wrong, Asuka?

Asuka: Eh? It's nothing, see you tomorrow Nao!

Asuka leaves Nao and run to the forest too.

Asuka: (Thinking) "And now what are you getting into, Alexander?"

Alexander arrived to the forest.

Alexander: Unless there's no people here. (To the strangers) If you are with Demitri, then you are the enemies!

Stranger 1: It was to be expected of that Knight who defeated many of our troops.

Alexander: Your troops? You mean…

Stranger 2: Yeah, we…

The strangers throw away their cloaks, revealing their appearances as knights like Alexander.

Alexander: So it's you… Dark knights!

Dark knight 1: Yeah, we came to this time to exterminate you!

Dark knight 2: Once you are out of our way, we'll rule this new country!

Alexander: (Taking his emblem from his neck) I won't let you do that!

Alexander used his emblem and then his armor, with his sword and shield appeared.

Dark knight 2: Oh, I didn't expected you still have some magic.

Alexander: I only need this to beat you! (Showing his sword) You'll see!

The Dark knights attacked Alexander with their swords. It was a little difficult for him by two versus one fighting. But unless he could keep the fight.

Meanwhile Asuka was arriving the scene.

Then Alexander was able to bring down a Dark knight.

Alexander: He! One down!

Dark knight 2: Damn you!

The other Dark knight attack him with a lance that launched him. Alexander used his sword to protect himself and then bring down the other Dark Knight.

Alexander: It's over you two. Surrender!, Don't make me to kill you.

Dark knight 1: Hehehe! Is that what you think?

Suddenly that Dark knight took out something from his armor. It was a mini machine gun and shot. Alexander realized that and jumped avoiding the bullets.

Alexander: Impossible! Is that...?

Dark knight 1: That's right, a new weapon, like that one Demitri used to kill you and your friend, the Sorceress.

Alexander: You bastard!

At that time, Asuka arrived and was hidden behind a tree and saw what happened.

Asuka: Alexander, oh no. He's getting problems. How those knights got those guns?

Dark knight 2: Haha! Now you'll die this time, Dragon Knight!

The Dark knights keep shooting to Alexander who was trying to avoid and using his sword to cover from that.

Alexander: Damn! That kind of weapon again! It's very difficult to cover and attack. It's very fast for me.

Then Alexander took a stone and threw it to them to distract them.

Dark knight 2: There he is!

The Dark knights shoot in the wrong way, at that time Alexander run and was able to attack one of them by using his sword, killing him.

Dark knight 2: (Dying) No way!

Alexander: Don't underestimate me!

Asuka: Alexander! Watch out!

Alexander: (Realizing her presence) Asuka! What are you doing here!

Dark knight 1: (Focusing on her) This is no over! (He threw a smoke grenade, suffocating Alexander) Come here! (Grabbing Asuka)

Alexander: (Coughing) What?

Dark knight 1: Don't move, idiot!

Alexander: Let her go!

Asuka: (Scared) Alexander, help me!

Dark knight 1: Shut up, or I'll shoot you!

Alexander: You cheater!

Dark knight 1: Call me as you want, now throw your weapon!

Alexander, dropped his sword as surrounding.

Dark knight 1: Good boy. (Suddenly he shoot him to his shoulder) Sucker!

Asuka: (Worried) Alexander!

Alexander: (Wounded on the ground) Why are you trying to rule this country? Are you trying to make suffer this people too?

Dark knight 1: Of course! We'll do anything to win and conquer! (Pointing to him) But you won't be here to see our reign.

Suddenly a fireball hit the Dark knight, liberating Asuka.

Dark knight 1: What was that?

At that moment, Alexander took his sword and stabbed him, killing him.

Alexander: (Wounded) Don't ever try to make this to Asuka!

Asuka: Alexander, are you okay?

Alexander: (Touching his wounded shoulder) As I expected, that strange weapon can damage my armor.

Asuka: You need medical attention, come on!

Asuka was carrying Alexander but suddenly that Dark knight woke up and held something.

Dark knight 1: (Nearly dying) If I'm going to hell, you will come with me!

He activated a grenade. Quickly, Alexander grabbed Asuka and then his shield and protected them from a strong explosion, which vaporized that part of the forest. After the explosion, they were saved.

Alexander: Are you okay, Asuka?

Asuka: Yeah, I didn't realized he had a grenade.

Alexander: But that kind of explosion is like a magic explosion.

Asuka: What? Weapons from this time mixed with magic? That's impossible!

Alexander: Maybe. (Thinking) "I wonder where that fireball came, another magic attack?"

Asuka: Alexander, we'd better return. We need to check your wound.

Alexander: Yeah.

They were returning, without realizing that a school girl, like the one who saw them twice before, was there again.

School girl: (Smiling) I think it's time to meet again, Alexander.

At next day, Alexander went to the cafeteria. He was in a reunion.

Mr. Mitsuba: Okay, everyone. I decided to change the name of the cafe, and I expected you can give me a name.

Waitress 2: In that case, why not you let Alexander thinks a name.

Alexander: Wait, me?

Waitress 3: That's right, come on!

Waitress 4: You were like a real Knight who came to protect us.

Waitress 1: Please make this favor.

Alexander: Me? As a Knight? Well, I have a word and I expected it could work.

Mr. Mitsuba: Well, tell us.

Later, the waitresses received the customers to the cafeteria.

Waitresses: Welcome to the cafe, The Knight!

The cafe had a big cartel with the word THE KNIGHT, with medieval words on it.

Alexander was outside checking the cafe.

Alexander: (Smiling) I guess I can adapt this life, more than before.
