I loaded the dream game

"...?"

Looking at the boy's back, a hint of doubt appeared in Mio's eyes.

You're welcome, do you mean... because it's a more advanced relationship?

She thought about it and felt that it seemed to be true, so she no longer took it to heart and walked quickly forward to catch up with the young man.

The table in the restaurant was filled with sumptuous dishes. It was the dinner that the girl had prepared long ago. However, because they had waited too long, the food had almost gone cold.

Fortunately, since it is summer now, it doesn’t matter if the food is cold, so Xia Zhi dissuaded the girl from heating up the food again.

"Actually, you don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner."

He said this to the girl.

Mio shook her head slightly and said nothing.

Originally, she didn't need to eat. The reason why she prepared meals every day, besides for the boy, was simply because "cooking for Xia Zhi" and "watching the boy eat the meal she made" made her very happy and satisfied.

"How was your date today?"

The girl rested her cheeks on the table with her hands, her legs swaying gently under the table. She looked at the boy opposite with a smile, and after thinking for a moment, she asked curiously.

"That's not a date."

Xia Zhi stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth and answered vaguely.

I feel like the dishes Mio makes recently seem to be more Chinese style? Is it because she caters to her taste?

He thought to himself and continued, "I just went there to celebrate someone's birthday."

...and accidentally snatched him away from his original "unit"...But that was also an accident, right?

Xia Zhi thought with some guilt.

"Birthday……"

On the other side, Mio was slightly stunned, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She was not wondering about the meaning of the word "birthday". After all, apart from the dictionary explanations she had memorized, she could understand the meaning of the two words just by looking at the literal meaning.

What the girl cares about is...

"When is the summer solstice's birthday?"

"According to the date of this world, it has already passed." Xia Zhi replied indifferently.

"What's the specific date?" the girl asked persistently, seeming very interested.

"August 12..."

…It’s August 12th, right?

Xia Zhi thought a little uncertainly.

Because he hadn't celebrated his birthday for "too long", he had kind of forgotten about it.

Let’s recall the summer solstice carefully

Hubie's birthday is on September 12th, and mine is exactly one month different from hers... Yeah, that's right.

"It just happened not long ago."

If I have to wait any longer, it will take another year, right?

A hint of disappointment rose in Mio's heart.

She shook her head, thought for a moment, and then asked:

"So...when is my birthday?"

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned when he heard this...

Come to think of it, it seems that...

According to Mio herself, she was pulled into the dungeon by the dream game immediately after she was born, and did not even have time to see the scenery of the other world.

So, here comes the question...Should Mio's birthday be counted as the day she first saw herself in this world, or the day she was born in her original world?

Just as Xia Zhi was thinking about this, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

Who is it? Why would you bother me at this time?

He thought to himself in confusion, stood up, walked to the entrance and opened the door.

Somewhat to his surprise, a group of people wearing white clothes and masks appeared outside the door.

Xia Zhi recognized them. They were the priests he had met in the amnesty before.

...Are you here to investigate me for taking the garden out without my permission?

Or is it that the sacred tree is starting to blame me for ntr'ing it... ahem, snatching people from it?

He thought to himself, tilted his head slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Excellency Xia Zhi." The leading priest stepped forward and spoke in a respectful tone that was completely different from the one he used when he stopped the young man during the amnesty during the day.

"I am deeply sorry to come and disturb you at this time. If we have offended you in any way, it is our fault. I hope you can..."

"Your opening remarks are too long." Xia Zhi interrupted him and said, "If you don't shorten it to 20 words or less, I will close the door."

"…We have arranged a new job for you according to your wishes. We hope you will be satisfied."

The priest spoke faster.

Although the word count has exceeded the limit, I won't bother about it since the length is barely acceptable.

Xia Zhi remembered that during the day today, Yuanzi seemed to want to talk to him about this matter.

They are here to tell her about this, right?

It seems that my idle life is about to end temporarily...

but

Xia Zhi raised his head and looked at the large group of people gathered at the door, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

...I'm just conveying a message, is it necessary to make such a big fuss?

.......

Chapter 882: Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to slack off on the first day of work?

Today is September 1st, the first day of school.

It is also the first day of work during the summer solstice.

Yes, he was assigned a job within the school system that many people dream of.

As for the specific content of the work...

Leaning against the window of the teaching building, looking at the figure giving a speech on the podium in the playground, Xia Zhi, who hadn't gotten up early for a long time, couldn't help yawning.

In fact, if the original arrangement of the amnesty was followed, he should be the one standing in that position and speaking now.

...Not necessarily. If he finds it troublesome, he can assign this task to someone else.

There is no need to undertake any troublesome work, and there is no one in charge. All the work is handled by others. As long as you slack off every day, you can get a generous salary. This perfectly meets Xia Zhi's initial requirement of "leisure".

However, Xia Zhi felt that it was not a good idea for him, a student, to suddenly become the principal. It might give people the impression that he was appointed by someone else, so he finally refused.

As an alternative, Amnesty quickly came up with a new alternative plan

...Xia Zhi turned around and looked at the spacious and bright space and the neatly arranged tall bookshelves behind him.

There shouldn't be anyone coming to the library at this time, right?

Compared with university libraries, high school libraries have this advantage: basically no one will come to disturb you during class time.

Moreover, you can ask students to help with part-time work, and you don't have to worry about things like organizing books. Apart from the lack of a luxurious desk, the position is not much worse than that of a principal, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, and lay down on the library counter, listening to the boring speech coming from the playground outside the window. As if he had found a familiar feeling, he yawned and slowly closed his eyes.

……

"that……"

While half asleep, Xia Zhi felt someone gently push his body. At the same time, he heard a familiar girl's voice.

Is the get out of class over so soon?

He raised his head dazedly, and met a pair of emerald green eyes that were very close to him, and a delicate and pretty face that was very close to him.

"ah!"

As if she was startled by his sudden awakening, the girl quickly retracted her head, and a blush appeared on her cheeks, which was not sure whether it was embarrassment or shyness.

"What's up?"

Xia Zhi asked with a yawn.

"No... I just wanted to wake you up..."

The black-haired girl shook her head and was about to explain something when she was slightly stunned.

“Eh? You are…?”

"Togo~ I've found it here too~!"

A familiar voice came from the other side, and the red-haired girl happily returned to the counter with a book in her hand.

"The library should remain quiet." Xia Zhi "seriously" performed his duties and reminded a certain brave girl.

"Ah, sorry..."

Yuuki Yuna reacted and covered her mouth, immediately lowered her voice, and apologized a little embarrassedly.

"Um, we...eh?"

After seeing the face of the boy opposite her, Yuuki Yuna also showed a surprised expression.

"…Is it the brother from that day?"

"You should call me teacher now," Xia Zhi reminded her.

"Oh, sorry, teacher..."

In just less than a minute, he apologized twice.

Mimori Togo, who was watching this scene from the side, thought to herself.

But...library teachers are not considered formal teachers, right?

"I didn't expect that my brother would come to our school to be a teacher...he looks so young." Yuki Yuna asked curiously.

"Don't look at me like this, I actually already have a daughter."

"Oh! That's amazing!"

No, this is obviously a joke, right?

Togo Mimori complained in her heart.

After all, the boy is only a high school student no matter how you look at it. Although he is a little older than them, he should not be that much older.

Not to mention, it’s not like he hasn’t seen his “girlfriend” before.

Be it the silver-haired sister that day or the cute girl with long gray-yellow hair yesterday, neither of them looked like they had given birth to a child.

The age and the object do not match. Unless he has another lover outside at such a young age, it is unlikely that he has a daughter, right? The girl thought to herself.

"So, what's up with you guys?"

Xia Zhi brought the topic back to the topic, looked at the girl in front of him and asked.

"Yes! We are here to borrow books!"

Yuuki Yuna nodded, said "Thank you, teacher", and handed over the books in her and Togo's hands.

Xia Zhi took a quick look and found that it was a book about scriptwriting techniques.

"Do you want to write a script?" He chatted with the girl while operating the borrowing process.

The girl nodded again: "Yes! We are preparing for the next event of the Brave Club 480!"

"The Brave Division..."
