The sun was beginning its descent over the stunning city of Hosenka as Mielle arrived at the grand entrance of Sultry Heights. The ambiance of the resort was palpable, with an air of sophistication mingling with the faint scent of blooming cherry blossoms. Granny Meirin, the seasoned lead cleaner, awaited her arrival. Despite being in her 60s, Granny exuded a vibrant energy that contradicted her age, particularly when it came to the meticulous task of cleaning.

"Ah, you must be the one Granny called for. Thank you for coming," Granny greeted Mielle with a warm smile, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. "I'm Granny Meirin, but you can call me Granny. Let's head to the Lobby, shall we? The trainees are eager to meet you."

The Lobby was a spacious area adorned with elegant furnishings and plush velvet sofas. As they entered, a group of young trainees stood attentively, each donned in crisp uniforms. Granny stepped forward, gesturing towards Mielle.

"Everyone, this is our temporary manager who will be guiding you today. Show her the same respect you'd show me," Granny announced, her authoritative tone carrying the weight of experience.

The trainees lined up, and one by one, they introduced themselves. Mielle listened attentively, noting the diverse backgrounds and aspirations that each trainee brought to the table. Some were local Hosenka residents, while others hailed from distant lands, drawn by the allure of the city.

With the formalities out of the way, the trainees dispersed to their assigned tasks. Mielle, assuming the role of temporary manager, circulated through the resort, observing the trainees at work. The hum of vacuum cleaners, the rhythmic swaying of mops, and the gentle clinking of cleaning supplies filled the air.

Surprisingly, most of the trainees navigated their responsibilities with confidence, displaying a remarkable understanding of their roles. Mielle found herself impressed by their efficiency and dedication, a stark contrast to the common stereotype of inexperienced newcomers.

As the day progressed, Mielle lingered in the Lobby, ensuring that the trainees didn't venture too far from their designated areas. She discreetly intervened when needed, offering guidance with a blend of authority and encouragement. While some encountered minor challenges, the overall atmosphere was one of productivity.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Mielle gathered the trainees in the Lobby, signaling the end of their day. Granny Meirin joined them, her eyes scanning the group with a discerning gaze.

"Thank you all for your hard work today. Now, let's hear from each of you about the tasks you've completed," Granny prompted, her hands clasped together.

The trainees shared their experiences, triumphs, and even a few humorous anecdotes. Granny listened attentively, nodding approvingly at their efforts. Mielle, standing beside her, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in the accomplishments of the trainees under her watchful eye.

With the debriefing concluded, Granny turned to Mielle, a twinkle in her eyes. "You've done a splendid job managing the trainees. I appreciate your assistance, dear. Here's your well-deserved reward."

As Mielle accepted her reward, she couldn't deny a newfound appreciation for the resilience and enthusiasm displayed by the young trainees. The experience, though initially met with skepticism, had unfolded into a rewarding chapter in her journey through the diverse quests of Hosenka City. With a nod of gratitude, she bid farewell to Granny and the trainees, leaving Sultry Heights with a sense of accomplishment and unexpected camaraderie.
