Aileen's Personality Imbuement Magic

The next day...

Besides his usual work of watching the shop, Ywen had also taken on the task of caring for Erza.

He controlled gravity and held Erza, who was slightly smaller than him, in his arms, gently rocking her. Since she was in a semi-weightless state, it hardly took any effort from Ywen.

"Morning, Ywen~"

"Yeah! Morning!"

As the bakery opened for business, customers gradually entered the shop to buy fresh bread for their children's breakfast.

Ywen did not even look up at those customers. Right now, Erza in his arms was the only thing in his eyes.

"Ah! What a cute child!"

As customers entered one after another, they immediately noticed Ywen holding Erza behind the counter. They all came closer, looking at Ywen and Erza in his arms as they exclaimed in admiration.

"She really is cute!"

Ywen nodded. On this point, he completely agreed with the customers.

"Whose child is this? Could she... could she be Aileen's daughter?"

One customer looked at Erza's short scarlet hair, her expression changing as though she had thought of something, and asked.

"Yeah, her name is Erza. She's my little sister!"

Ywen nodded. In his eyes, there was nothing to hide. Besides, as Erza slowly grew up, the people in town would be able to guess the truth from her face, which looked almost exactly like Aileen's.

"Erza? What a lovely name..."

"But if she really is Aileen's child, some people might be crying..."

The customers, who looked to be in their thirties or forties, stared at Ywen and Erza with the eager expressions of people watching gossip unfold.

However, Ywen did not care about their words at all. He continued to look after Erza while doing business.

"Ywen, two Carrot Breakfast Buns. I left the money here!"

"Okay!"

Ywen casually glanced over and nodded. For regular customers who knew the prices, he generally let them help themselves. They paid on their own, took a basket to get their bread, and returned the empty basket after they were done.

The town itself was not large...

As more and more customers arrived, news that Aileen had given birth to a daughter named Erza quickly spread throughout the entire town.

At around ten in the morning, when there were fewer people in the bakery, a sturdy man with skin slightly darkened by his work quietly pushed open the bakery door and slipped inside.

"Pfft, damn it! So it really is true!"

The moment the man entered the bakery, his eyes locked firmly onto Ywen and Erza in Ywen's arms.

Looking at Erza's short scarlet hair, his eyes immediately reddened and swelled, tears welling up in them.

"Was I really too late?!"

"Ywen, has your mother already found someone?"

This man was naturally John from next door. At that moment, he looked at Ywen and spoke incoherently.

"Why don't you listen to what you're saying?"

If Ywen had not been afraid of destroying the bakery, he would have already sent the guy flying with a Gravity Blade.

"You'd better be here to buy bread..."

Ywen looked at the tearful John and spoke after a moment of silence.

"Ywen, I won't give up! I won't—"

John casually picked out several loaves of bread. He seemed to want to say something else, but before he could finish, he felt a tremendous repulsive force push him out of the bakery.

"Thank you for your patronage..."

Ywen used gravity to collect John's money and put it into the drawer, speaking to John outside the bakery at the same time.

"Hahahaha..."

The few customers inside who had witnessed the entire scene burst into laughter, as if they had expected this to happen all along.

"Sigh..."

Ywen sighed and continued feeding the baby.

In the days that followed...

In addition to the three daily tasks related to watching the shop, the system added two more daily tasks for Ywen.

They were...

Task Four: Change Erza's diaper before she cries. Reward: 2,000 funds

Task Five: Prepare Erza's formula in time. Reward: 2,000 funds

In other words, if Ywen completed every task on time each day, he could earn up to 7,000.

To Ywen, Erza was like a lucky cat, making him overjoyed.

However, Erza was still a baby. Whether she needed feeding or needed to relieve herself was almost entirely random. Several times, while Ywen was watching the shop or doing something else, Erza suddenly began crying loudly, leaving Ywen completely caught off guard.

Aileen saw all of this.

In order to make things easier for Ywen, Aileen came up with an idea!

"Ywen, I've thought of an especially good solution! It can solve our current shortage of help!"

Aileen stood before Ywen and spoke with a cheerful smile.

"What solution?!"

Ywen floated beside the crib, constantly wiping sweat from his brow. He had just spent an enormous amount of effort successfully coaxing Erza to sleep.

"We can hire someone to help us watch the shop!"

Aileen stated her solution.

"Hire someone?!"

Ywen narrowed his eyes. He had actually considered whether they should hire someone before.

But honestly, both he and Aileen had quite a few secrets. Hiring someone always made him feel uneasy.

If they spent too much time together and the hired person noticed something, it would be troublesome.

Although with Aileen's magical prowess, let alone ordinary people, even the Ten Great Wizard Saints would not be able to notice anything, Ywen still believed in being cautious. He was especially sensitive when it came to hiring assistants or shop clerks.

"But I don't want to talk to anyone other than you, Ywen..."

Just as Ywen was thinking, he heard Aileen continue.

"How are you supposed to hire someone if you won't communicate with them?" Ywen found Aileen's somewhat adorable idea amusing. He smiled softly before saying, "Forget it. It's a little tiring, but I can still manage. Once Erza is older, things will get easier."

"That's why I came up with a brilliant idea!"

Aileen moved closer to Ywen, looking at him mysteriously as she spoke.

"Hm?!"

Ywen blinked his large eyes and looked at Aileen in confusion.

"Look..." Just as Ywen was puzzled, Aileen lightly waved her hand. A maid outfit, a rolling pin, and a black katana appeared in midair. Then, looking at the maid outfit, rolling pin, and katana floating in the air, Aileen said seriously, "I thought about it all night yesterday and finally came up with a way to recruit employees without having to waste words on outsiders. I'll create the employees myself! As long as I use Personality Imbuement Magic on these tools, our shortage of help can be solved!"

The instant Aileen finished speaking, a blinding light flashed before Ywen's eyes.

The next second, the maid outfit, rolling pin, and katana vanished without a trace. In their place stood three adorable-looking young girls.
