Fight the monsters before 8 am

"Well, I see."

As he spoke, Xiaoba also went into the hot spring pool and swam to the side of Sister Chen and Tian Li.

"My store is okay. After all, it's inside an amusement park and it's still doing business. What about yours?" Tian Li said, looking at the somewhat empty hot spring bath.

After all, they are already very familiar with each other, and saying these things is just a concern as a friend, and it will not appear to be rude.

Tian Li originally thought that the Xueshiro Hot Spring Hotel run by Xiaoba was close to Yuliu Lake Park. The environment inside the hotel was very good and the facilities were very complete. In addition, with Sister Chen helping with cooking, it would be difficult for this hotel not to be popular.

But who would have thought that an unexpected situation would really happen. Some time ago, Ultraman and monsters were fighting in the mountains next to Youliu Lake Park. After the battle, the area was sealed off by the police.

Not to mention the drastic drop in customer flow, basically no one comes here now.

"I'm not too worried," said Sister Chen.

“Right now, people on the Internet don’t quite believe that Ultraman has appeared in real life, but once the news spreads, this place will probably become a nationally famous online tourist attraction.

It was more difficult before this, but you don’t have to worry, now that the store has started a takeaway business, you don’t have to worry about having no income.

In addition, many baths in the store are not open, which can save a lot of expenses. This largest bathhouse is open only because of you. "

When Tian Li heard Sister Chen say there was a takeaway business, she was no longer worried.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Sister Chen claims to be the second best in the world in cooking skills, no one dares to claim to be the best, unless there is someone else in this city who comes from the same place as Sister Chen.

"I don't know the price range. I can't afford something too expensive," said Tian Li.

"Don't worry, the dishes are still affordable, and the prices are about the same as in school. I have to cook at my best level again, so that the people who order takeout won't see the golden light when they open the lid."

Sister Chen stretched lazily, her figure hidden by the mist and hot spring water was graceful. She claimed to be middle-aged or elderly, but in fact, you couldn't tell at all.

"This Xueshiro Hot Spring Hotel may have to be used as a hotel for a while in the future," said Sister Chen.

"I'm fine." Xiaoba said.

"Do you have any flyers here? I'll bring some and put them in my store and help promote your business when the time comes." Tian Li said.

Chapter 114: The Store Manager and His Wife Go on a Long Journey

"Manager sister, manager brother, what are you doing?" Xing Heyue asked as they looked at the bakery manager and his wife who had closed the shop door and were holding their luggage.

"Ah, it's He Yue." The store manager with long red hair said, "I'm sorry, your brother and I have to catch a plane, so we can't entertain you today."

"Manager sister, there is no need for you to apologize for this kind of thing. Manager sister, where are you going?" Xing Heyue asked again.

"The Golden Week holiday is coming soon. Your brother and I will go to Japan for a trip and treat it as a honeymoon trip." said the store manager's sister.

Xing Heyue thought about it. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. He didn't know what to say. After a while, he said, "Congratulations."

“Hahahaha…” The red-haired store manager laughed happily. She pinched Xingheyue’s face with both hands and gently pulled them apart. “You are really an interesting child. You should say have a nice trip or have a safe journey at this time, but your blessing is quite thoughtful. I accept it.”

The store manager took her hand back, helped Xingheyue fix her hair, and continued, "Someone will come to help look after the store in a few days. I've already told her to take care of you and your little cousin."

"No need to spend money. I've already earned the money." Xing Heyue said quickly. He didn't want this kind couple to spend any more money.

Looking at Xing Heyue's serious expression, the store manager rubbed Xing Heyue's head again, messing up the hair she had just combed.

"Well, little man, your brother and I will bring gifts for you and your little cousin when we come back.

By the way, don’t be too surprised when you see the person who will help you look after the store. By the way, I mentioned earlier that the name of this store was given by someone else, and this person is the one who will help me look after the store.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, please give this bag to your cousin. I was planning to go find her and I just happened to run into you. Don't look at what's inside, just give it to your cousin, she'll know what's inside at a glance."

The store manager talked a lot and then handed a handbag to Xingheyue.

Finally, he rubbed Xing and Yue's heads again, and the couple left.

Xing and Yue looked at the backs of the two people who were leaving in a hurry and felt a little strange. They didn't look like they were going on a trip. Instead, it seemed like something important had happened. Could it be that the plane was about to take off?

And there is still a week left before the Golden Week holiday. Is this a time to travel during off-peak hours?

Thinking about these things in their minds, Xing and Yue returned to their apartment.

As soon as I opened the door and entered the yard, I saw Rukia waving a wooden sword in the yard. Sweat was dripping down her cheeks, the hair on her forehead and temples was stuck to her face, and the collar, armpits and back of her shirt were all wet.

The setting sun shone on her, casting a hazy glow on her skin.

Hearing that Xing Heyue had returned, Rukia slowly put away her sword and stopped. After standing still, she slowly calmed her breathing, then smiled at Xing Heyue and said, "Welcome back. You are much earlier than scheduled."

"I'm back. Thank you for your hard work." Xing Heyue closed the gate, took the towel from the clothesline and handed it to Rukia, then took the wooden sword from her.

"I should be the one saying this to you." Rukia wiped the sweat from her face with a towel. The sweat was almost flowing into her eyes.

Xing Heyue looked at the wooden sword. The energy coating that he created on the wooden sword using his energy and telekinesis was very stable, with no signs of consumption or dissipation.

At the beginning, I didn't have palm oil or anything like that at home, so I came up with an idea to make an energy plating. Unexpectedly, it worked quite well.

"You said before that you would be back after 10 o'clock in the evening. Did something happen?" After wiping the sweat from her face, Rukia hung the towel around her neck and asked Xing and Yue at the same time.

"Well, today when I was working, I suddenly encountered a weird guy who looked like a wasp. I transformed and knocked him down. Then the amusement park evacuated tourists and the police arrived at the scene to investigate and collect evidence, so I came back early."

Speaking of the wasp monster, although they only looked at him a few times, Xing and Yue had already remembered the appearance of the wasp monster.

When Xing and Yue saw the Wasp Monster at that time, they compared it with the various alien races in their memories, but did not find the corresponding alien race.

He planned to look for it in the terminal's database after he came back. If it wasn't there, he would have to try his luck on the Internet to see if this wasp monster was from any film or TV show.

"Weirdo? You're not hurt, are you?" Rukia quickly looked at Xingheyue, and saw that he was in good spirits and had no scars on his exposed skin, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s okay. That monster is not one of those giant monsters that are dozens of meters tall. It’s only the size of an ordinary human. It doesn’t seem to have the ability to grow to a gigantic size. I just released a beam of light and it solved it.

By the way, let’s not talk about this for now. I just met the bakery’s store manager sister and brother. They are going to travel for a while. This is what the store manager sister asked me to bring to you.”

Xing and Yue handed the bag given to them by the store manager to Rukia.

"what is this?"

Rukia looked at the bag sealed with tape and was about to open it when she heard Xingguangyi say, "I'm not sure either. The store manager pointed it out to you and wouldn't let me see it. She said you'd know what's inside by looking at it yourself."

Hearing what Xing and Yue said, Rukia paused what she was doing, and her cheeks, which were already a little red due to exercise, became even redder. She knew what was inside. They were the daily care products for girls that the store manager had given her before.

"What's in it? It's so mysterious." Xing and Yue continued to ask.

"Don't worry about it. Okay, let's go back to the house. You've worked hard all day, so take a rest."

In order to prevent Xingheyue from continuing to ask questions, Rukia grabbed Xingheyue's wrist and dragged him towards the stairs.

Rukia's expression made Xing and Yue even more curious about what was inside, but since Rukia was unwilling to say, Xing and Yue didn't ask.

"I got my salary today. Why don't we go to the night market for dinner tonight? I haven't taken you to the night market since you came here." Xing Heyue suggested.

"Forget it, it's such a waste of money. There are dumplings in the refrigerator. We can eat dumplings tonight." Rukia also knew how much she eats now, so she didn't want Xing and Yue to waste money.

"It's okay. We don't eat it often anyway. Just consider it as a celebration of the fact that I found a long-term part-time job." Xing Heyue said. All one can say is that he has confidence now that he has made money.

"That...okay then."

Seeing that Xing and Yue were so insistent, Rukia agreed.

Chapter 115: The Manager's Sister's Gift

Knowing that she could go to the night market for dinner tonight, Rukia was very happy even though she was a little worried about the family's financial situation.

In the bathroom, Rukia was humming a song while washing her body under the shower.

The warm water flowed down her body and fell to the ground, relieving the fatigue she had accumulated from practicing kendo today.

Rukia's body does not have the kind of feminine charm that people generally call "sexy", but her petite body exudes a budding vitality.

"Whoo~~~"

Rukia couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. It was indeed very comfortable to take a bath after exercising. The more tired she was, the more comfortable she felt when bathing.

Unfortunately, she had to go out with Xing and Yue later, so she didn't have time to let her take a bath.

By closing her eyes, Rukia could clearly feel the feeling of being wrapped in water all over her body.

She wiped her face with both hands, pushed her bangs onto the top of her head, and then looked at her hands being washed by the water.

These hands were as white and slender as ever. When they were wrapped in the warm water, they seemed shy, with a hint of pink in their whiteness.

Rukia felt a little puzzled, because according to her idea, her delicate and tender hands should have blisters or rubbings from practicing kendo these days, but now there was no trace of it at all on her hands, and they were as white and tender as new.

When I first had special training with Xing and Yue, I sprained my waist because I didn't warm up.

But now that the training volume has increased, my body has not shown corresponding changes.

This was clearly her own body, but Rukia felt very unfamiliar with it.

At first, Rukia thought that her body had changed from a spirit body to an ordinary human body. Now it seems that this body of hers still has many secrets, and at least she is not an ordinary person.

Rukia thought of two possibilities. One was that her physical strength was gradually increasing, and the other was that her physical recovery speed was getting faster.

But no matter which conjecture it is, it needs to be verified later.

"How about... verify it now?"

Rukia looked at her fist, then at the tiles on the wall, thought about it, and gave up the idea.

Whether you break your fist or the tiles on the wall, it's a problem.

"What am I thinking about? Hurry up and finish washing."

Rukia took a bath ball, squeezed shower gel on it, and carefully used the bath ball to rub the dense foam with the scent of cherry blossoms all over her body.

After rinsing her body, Rukia wrapped herself in a bath towel, wiped her hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom.

"He Yue, I'm done, you can go in and take a shower."

Rukia said to Hoshi and Moon.

When she walked out of the bathroom, Rukia saw Xing and Yue typing with the terminal in both hands.

"I won't wash it. I'll wash it after I come back from dinner tonight. Although the weather is cool at night, I'm afraid I'll be sweating again after eating at the night market." Xing Heyue said, without looking up, his eyes were always on the terminal in his hand.

"Ah? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have washed it." Rukia said.

"You were sweating so much, it wouldn't be comfortable to go directly to the night market stall to eat. You could just wash again when you come back in the evening." Xing Heyue said.

Rukia thought there was nothing wrong with what Xing and Yue said, so she stopped worrying about it.

"Da da da..."

Rukia's wet feet in slippers made a sound as she walked to Xing and Yue's side.

"What are you writing? A novel?" Lukia asked.

"No, I was chatting with my classmates." At this point, Xingheyue slapped his head and scratched it in distress, "Ah... Speaking of novels, I forgot to write these two days."

"Don't worry, since you're not going to say anything anyway, just try your luck. It doesn't matter if it's a hit or not. If it's a hit, even better."

As she spoke, Rukia looked at the computer desk, on which was an open notebook, the same notebook that Xing and Yue often used to take notes.

The page that was opened records what happened today, and at the bottom of the page, today's income and expenses are also recorded.

Rukia couldn't understand any of this. After all, her Chinese proficiency was only slightly better than that of an illiterate person.

The only thing she could understand was a wasp-like monster drawn on it with a marker.

"What is this monster you drew?" Rukia asked Xing and Yue.

"This is the enemy I met today. I just tried to search for Wasp Monster on the Internet, and I didn't expect to actually find it. This guy's race is called Gurongi, and he is the enemy of Kamen Rider Kuuga." Xing Heyue said.

"Masked Rider? I know that!"

Since Rukia often watches videos related to Ultraman, the Pili Pili Video App will often push videos of Kamen Rider, which is also one of the three major special effects in Japan, to her.

“I also saw Kamen Rider videos, but I didn’t know much about them, so I asked my roommate if he had an account on any video website. I wanted to watch some special effects dramas starring Sora Aoki.

Don’t you have no place to watch Ultraman special effects dramas recently? Once you find an account, we can watch it together from the beginning. In fact, I haven’t watched many Ultraman special effects dramas either.”

Xing Heyue watched my special effects drama mainly because he wanted to learn about Gurongi. Although he had just read Gurongi's encyclopedia entry, it was still a bit too abstract to just read the text.

"Yeah." Rukia nodded with an expectant look.

While Xing Heyue was still staring at the terminal, Rukia came to the bed, quietly opened the bag that the store manager's sister asked Xing Heyue to bring her, and looked inside.

There are a lot of daily care items for girls in it, and in addition to these things, there is also a piece of clothing.

Rukia took the clothes out of the bag, opened the plastic packaging, and spread the folded clothes on the bed.

This is a short-sleeved dress with a moon-white collar and a bluish tint, and a detailed painting is printed on the skirt.

A full moon hides behind the hazy mountains. A pool of autumn water in front of the mountain reflects the mountains and the full moon. Several lotus lanterns float in the water, and a laurel branch breaks into the picture in the corner of the painting.

Rukia also found a piece of paper inside the clothes, on which was written in neon letters "I believe this dress will look very good when you wear it."

Rukia's eyes sparkled at the sight of the dress and a lovely blush appeared on her face.
