The Monster’s Nail Salon Management Guide

Updates daily at noon. Thanks for subscribing, kisses! A slice-of-life, interdimensional monster romance. Everyone except the protagonist is nonhuman. Couple: a cold-blooded merman love interest who's intensely curious about the protagonist x a pretty little human who attracts monsters After graduating from art school, Ning Zhixia couldn't find a job anywhere. In a fit of frustration, he returned to his hometown and opened a nail salon. Business was booming, and the reviews were good. After a while, Ning Zhixia noticed that customers with strange outfits always showed up at 7:28 p.m. Following the principle that the customer comes first and the goal is to get rich, Ning Zhixia suppressed his curiosity and focused on serving them. Then, one day, a series of downright bizarre comments began appearing on the salon's social media page “The owner is great at all sorts of styles, has impeccable taste, and even said my nail shape was pretty, so I didn't need extensions! Hehe! The only problem is that he stuck on so many cigarettes that it's hard to get at my heart...” “This place is amazing! There were so many colors I couldn't choose! The owner was so patient, and all four of my hooves are sparkling. I almost don't want to walk on lava in hell anymore!” “Oh ho ho ho, what a surprise! Because of my species, I can't grow my nails long, but the young man's technique is incredible. Even short, rounded nails can look both innocent and sexy! It's just that he's too shy and refuses to cook with me. Why is he afraid of using his mana to replenish me...?” Just as Ning Zhixia was growing anxious, a man who claimed to be from the Interdimensional Administration showed up, presented him with a banner and prize money, and awarded him the Outstanding Youth of the Interdimensional Planes Award. Only then did Ning Zhixia learn that his customers were all rebellious troublemakers from different planes. Ever since they started coming to his nail salon The soulless corpses of the Mysterious Ancient City stopped appearing. The scorching lava of the Abyssal Hell stopped erupting at random. The parchment scrolls of the magical world became fashion magazines. Ning Zhixia was baffled. Ning Zhixia was astonished. Ning Zhixia proudly accepted the prize money. So what if they're nonhuman? Who says nonhumans can't get manicures? A mysterious salon dedicated to serving nonhumans sprang up, traveling between worlds. Thanks to Ning Zhixia's versatile nail art, the salon won rave reviews and its reputation skyrocketed. Monsters came to learn from him, and he even opened branches in other planes. Ning Zhixia was brimming with confidence: I'm the godfather of beauty who's going to unify nonhuman aesthetics! To keep things in order, the head of the Interdimensional Administration personally took charge of the salon. Odelo curiously wandered around the shop, touching everything. He watched Ning Zhixia and asked, “Can I get mine done?” Ning Zhixia smugly replied to the director, whom he knew well by now, “Want to get your nails done? I won't charge you!” Odelo smiled slightly and laid his gleaming tail across Ning Zhixia's lap. “Go ahead.” Bro, why do you have so many scales?! Ning Zhixia's vision swam. “I-I can't do it...” “That's all right.” Odelo pinned down the young man trying to run away and leaned in to say “Lie back. I can do you instead.” Reader's guide 1.
