Tina, who is as serene and quiet as Kobayashi, and Kanna, who occasionally echoes Thor's words, create a warm and enchanting atmosphere.
Halfway through the meal, Kobayashi took a sip of the soup and then spat it out. He then scooped out a large, delicious-looking piece of dragon tail meat from the soup.
"Thor! Could you please not use your tail meat as a base in the soup next time?"
"Ah, then I'll grind it up next time and use it as a stock base, and I'll try my best not to let Kobayashi find out!"
"...No, I've already figured it out!"
Huh? Tina felt her wristwatch vibrate slightly and looked up to see an inexplicable information screen appearing on the tail meat.
"Special item discovered—"
"Thor's Tail Meat"
"Consuming this item will permanently increase your vitality and destructive power by 50. Without Thor's antidote, you will die from poisoning. Consume with caution."
Just then, a cell phone rang at an inopportune moment.
The call wasn't made from a landline, but directly to Xiaolin's personal mobile phone.
Xiaolin frowned, opened his phone, and nodded in agreement as he listened to the instructions on the other end.
"Okay, I got it... Hey, I can get three days off in return? Great, I'll make the trip then, don't worry."
Beep beep! The call has ended.
Tohru asked, "Kobayashi-chan, what's wrong?"
After a hearty meal, Kobayashi got up with a cheerful expression. As he walked to the coat rack to change his clothes, he explained, "Good news, Thor! A potential investor has come to the company's Hell Patrol System. Since the investor is also a Python programmer, the director sent me to negotiate with him... If we reach an agreement, I'll get three days off."
"But...should we go now? It's already evening!" Thor was very worried, looking at the dim light outside the window, the sky seemed to be gradually swallowed by demons.
“Oh, because that investor needs to catch the cruise ship tonight, and said it’s already pretty good that he can squeeze in this time, so I have to get there as soon as possible.” Kobayashi-san put on her coat, turned around, smiled, and patted Tohru’s shoulder. “…I’m already full. Tohru’s cooking is getting better and better.”
While Thor was lost in his blissful infatuation, Kobayashi had already gone out under the cover of dusk.
Although Kobayashi often comes home late from work, he left work early at noon today because the project was coming to an end, so they had an early dinner together. But because it happened so suddenly, Tohru was still worried about Kobayashi.
But it's not something a maid should do to rashly let a guest leave...
Thor then turned serious and gestured to Kanna to keep an eye on Tina. Kanna nodded solemnly, and Thor secretly followed Kobayashi out the door.
Only Kanna Kamui and Tina remained in the room...
Hey Kanna, why are you staring at me with such a serious expression?
“Lord Thor instructed me to keep an eye on you,” Kanna said.
Um, is this the kind of "staring" method?
……
I need to use the restroom.
Hey, Kanna, don't come along!
"Lord Thor has ordered me to keep an eye on you."
You will see things you shouldn't see!
"Lord Thor instructed me to keep an eye on you." Kanna gazed intently at the reincarnator with her azure eyes, repeating the instruction calmly and without leaving his side.
Tina felt helpless. Being stared at like that by a dragon, forget about investigating anything; even someone as strong as her would have the terrifying thought of being suddenly swallowed whole by Kanna.
Ten minutes later.
"I'm going to take a break." (She crawls into the refrigerator she took out from the imaginary space)
"Even if you hide in the refrigerator, I'll keep watching you." (Kanna sits upright in front of the refrigerator, her big eyes unblinking)
Twenty minutes later.
After cooling down, Tina climbed out of the refrigerator, only to find...
Kanna remained seated before him, her little head drooping, her eyes beneath her blue hair quietly closed, her small body swaying gently with each soft breath. "Staring...at you...you can't escape...you can't...wait...(chew~chew)" A faint voice could still be heard.
Kanna-chan is sleeping so cutely.
"Never mind, there doesn't seem to be anything worth investigating." Tina thought to herself, took a scarf from the coat rack and gently wrapped it around Kanna's body before heading straight to the entryway, opening the door to go out.
squeak-
Footsteps and all movements froze instantly.
Looking at the things outside the door, Tina seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gray and white.
……

—To this
[Ta7, you're invincible!]
The "maid café" is even more bustling at night than during the day. The decor is exquisite and elegant, with colorful rainbow electronic lights adorning every wall. These lights flash rhythmically, emitting a dim, romantic glow. The background music playing has a strong jazz flavor, and the music is beautiful, melodious, and warm.
Xiaolin, wearing a large trench coat, pushed open the door with a puzzled look in her eyes. She really couldn't understand why they would make an appointment in a place like this, because all around her were couples who were all lovey-dovey on dates.
"Konnichi wa!" As soon as I entered, the two bunny-dressed maids standing behind the door bowed in unison and greeted me with smiles.
Next, a maid dressed as a dragon girl appears, with dragon horns and a dragon tail like Thor (although they are as fake as can be). However, the maid's outfit is a dark gothic style, with a dark red rose pinned to her high chest, adding a touch of allure.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" the dragon maid asked with a professional maid's smile.
"Looking for someone, table number 20."
"plz follow me."
Then the dragon maid led Kobayashi to the innermost part of the first floor, to a seat by the window.
If Tina and Zhai Nan were present, they would definitely be shocked, because the investor and programmer Xiao Lin mentioned was none other than their de facto team leader, Ye Qiu. Behind Ye Qiu was an assistant dressed in office lady attire; needless to say, it was Mi Qi.
This is... that investor?
As Kobayashi sat down opposite Ye Qiu and Miki, the dragon maid also left. On the table was a candlelight dinner with coffee and dessert. The candlelight flickered without any wind, reflecting on Ye Qiu's handsome and affectionate face, creating an atmosphere of romance.
"Brother Ye... will the 'handsome man' strategy really work?" Miki admitted that many young girls couldn't resist the mature charm and outstanding looks of a popular guy, but 'Kobayashi-chan' didn't seem like the type to be interested in the opposite sex at all.
"Watch me." Ye Qiu and Mi Qi exchanged glances to complete their conversation.
"Ahem, are you Xiaolin? I've heard so much about you." Ye Qiu politely extended his hand. Xiaolin, not understanding why, extended his hand as well to avoid embarrassing the other party and said something polite.
"Mr. Ye, I have long admired your name."
Then came "Sit down and say" and "Thank you."
Kobayashi was unmoved by the reincarnator's charade of being a "young and wealthy" man, but remembering that Thor was worried about him, he got straight to the point.
"Mr. Ye, I heard from the director that you are also a very talented programmer specializing in Python...?"
Kobayashi took a document from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Ye Qiu, saying, "This is a portion of code from the Hell Patrol System. I'm sure Mr. Ye will find it satisfactory. If you have no problems after reading it, I think we can discuss the contract."
Ye Qiu gave a polite "hmm," then opened the file and glanced at it. Sure enough, he couldn't understand what these symbols were.
With composure, she closed the file and pushed it aside, her tender eyes gazing at Kobayashi's perpetually deadpan expression, a smile playing on her lips.
"Today we won't talk about a tour of hell, we'll only talk about romance."
Kobayashi-san remained calm. "I don't believe the Fengyue system has any advantages, whether in terms of technology or security measures. A year ago, Fengyue Company's data was stolen because it didn't pay attention to source code defense, causing its stock price and market value to plummet. On that day, the entire stock exchange was shrouded in gloom, with men and women weeping silently. Mr. Ye, you still trust this kind of company?"
Even though Ye Qiu really has excellent flirting skills, he feels helpless when facing Kobayashi, who has the most dead fish eyes in the universe... Seeing her talk about romance so seriously, Ye Qiu doesn't know whether to listen or not, and is in a dilemma with extreme pain.
Are you done talking?
It's my turn now!
"Actually, I've admired Kobayashi-san for a long time. I just made up an excuse to ask you out..."
Ye Qiu put on a smile again, took the credit card handed to him by "Secretary Miki" with one hand, and then tossed it in the middle of the table. He interlaced his fingers, rested his knees on the table, and very gentlemanly extended an invitation: "Here is 750 million yen (50 RMB). If you become my girlfriend, all of this is yours."
In fact, the 7.5 million was money obtained by the two of them pooling together 100 reincarnation points to exchange for firearms and then reselling them on the black market.
Xiaolin: Huh? !
"By the way, my family is very powerful. Even if you don't work, they can ensure you a life of wealth and luxury for the rest of your life." Ye Qiu continued to persuade her patiently, approaching the issue from his perspective as a successful person. There was no worldly girl that a rich, handsome, and successful man couldn't win over.
Kobayashi adjusted his glasses, which had slipped off his nose. He sipped his coffee while watching Ye Qiu's pretentious act, his face initially filled with bewilderment before regaining its composure.
“I told you so…” Miki whispered in Ye Shao’s ear, “Xiao Lin doesn’t like men!”
Ye Qiu was also quite stubborn, arguing in a low voice: "How can there be such a girl! Even if she likes lesbians, no one can resist the temptation of money, otherwise why would Xiao Lin work so hard?"
Kobayashi watched the two exchanging opinions in hushed tones, his face expressionless. After gulping down his coffee, he suddenly uttered a thought that struck a chord.
"Hey, I'm saying... is 750 million a lot?"
"..."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now... Thank you for the coffee, but dinner won't be necessary."
Despite feeling tricked and having her precious rest time wasted, Xiaolin wasn't angry. She just got up helplessly and left without looking back.
Ye Qiu was left behind, questioning the meaning of life.
Before transmigrating, Ye Qiu was indeed a successful person, earning an annual salary of 200,000 yuan in a second-tier city. Although 500,000 yuan wasn't astronomical, it was enough for him to squander as he pleased. However, Xiao Lin's words left him dumbfounded.
"Did you hear what she said...did you hear it?! She said seven and a half million is a lot! Isn't seven and a half million a lot...?!!" Ye Qiu roared and cried to Mi Qi in anguish.
Miki's face darkened: "Kobayashi seems to be very rich..."
"Can you even describe this as just being rich? They look down on seven and a half million!"
