I will never give in to Miss Death

All of this... Is everything Yin Xiamo does and every step she takes for the future life?

I really can't guess.

After all, I am just an ordinary person. Magic and parallel universes, especially things that involve "changing conditions to change results", are really not something I can consider.

This feeling is like asking a three-dimensional creature like me to guess what four-dimensional intelligent humans do every day. All I can say is five words: "How would I know?"

But no matter what, at least so far I haven't found any obvious evidence that "all these are Xiaomo's efforts to keep her normal daily life going" or "Xiaomo is playing dumb."

Xiaomo behaves like a curious baby when it comes to many new things. For some new dishes and desserts I make at home, she always asks curiously what they are and how they are made. When we go to some unfamiliar places, she doesn't act like she has never been there before.

Just like the botanical garden was needed before, I am sure that if there really is a parallel world, if Xiaomo had looked for the "Mr. Yin" in the parallel world and they had a good relationship, Mr. Yin would definitely take Xiaomo to that place.

Similarly, if Xiaomo has been on Earth for a long time, met many people, and eaten many things, she would not be curious about those new foods.

Homura Akemi in the anime "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" has a similar ability to go back in time. Having repeatedly traveled through countless parallel worlds, she has long been numb to the entire world. When she saw her beloved Madoka being "abducted" by the culprit Kyubey, she shot the little pet to death, then walked up to her coldly and said in an emotionless voice: "Madoka, if someone deceives you by claiming to fulfill your wishes or miracles, if you still cherish your family and friends, don't believe such a guy."

Unless Xiaomo is an ultimate actress, I really don’t believe that she has the ability to go back in time.

But if it hadn’t unfolded like this, everything about Yin Xiamo would always make me feel like something was not right.

I can’t say what it is specifically, but when I occasionally think about it, I feel a little confused, just a little.

I am a relatively optimistic person, and what I am best at is "living in the present". I will only think about strange things like this when I am bored, and if I can't figure it out, I will just do it - anyway, becoming a girl is a fact, and a new life is unfolding. If Yin Xiamo, a god of death from another world, says it's okay, then it's okay.

And Xiaomo also said that she would tell me everything when the time is right, so I don’t think there is any need to rush to find out the truth.

"..."

……

After two days of rest, Xiaomo and I returned to our normal work and life.

At present, the staff composition of the coffee shop has been basically determined. There are two chefs, a cleaning lady, two security guards, a clerk, and the "maids" are me, Yin Xiamo, Elodie, Lan Jiajia and the store manager Ouyang Xue.

Yin Xiamo, Lan Jiajia and I are ordinary "day shift" maids. We start work at 8 am on weekdays and get off work at 12 pm. However, in most cases, there are not many people in the store after 8 pm. Elodie also comes to the store at about this time to change clothes, play on the computer and use the Wi-Fi, so we can basically get off work between 8:30 and 9 pm.

As for Lan Jiajia, she has been working the day shift this month, from 4000 a.m. to p.m., and her rest days are calculated as the normal eight days a month. Her base salary is yuan plus commission.

Elodie was a special case. She took the initiative to ask to work the night shift at the cafe. According to the time standard here, the night shift starts at 12 a.m. and ends at 8 a.m., but Elodie felt that it was unsafe for a girl to go to work at 12 a.m., and she wanted to come to the cafe early to use the Wifi to complete her daily tasks in the game, so she basically came here at dinner time in the evening and had dinner and snacks at the cafe.

Elodie is a special "night shift worker". She has almost no days off in a month, or she occasionally applies for a few days off. Correspondingly, her working hours are very flexible, almost the same as a "security guard". After all, there are not many customers at night. Those who come to the coffee shop are homeless or passers-by nearby, just like the homeless who often go to KFC to sleep. When Elodie sees these people entering the store late at night, she just greets them with a bowl of sweet potato soup or something. When real customers come, she goes to the kitchen to make some fried chicken or steamed chicken, and just puts the seasonings into the machine.

The night shift is very easy and should be considered a perfect job for some people - imagine a super large house with two floors, with fried chicken, cola, milk tea, coffee, air conditioning on all day, free electricity and internet fees, cats to play with when you are bored, food and drinks, and an unlimited supply of snacks. When no one is around, you can play with your phone or take out your computer and play games while eating snacks. The manager won't say anything. When you are tired, you can go to the employee lounge to sleep or enjoy a free massage on the massage chair on the first floor. The basic salary is 4000 yuan with commission, and five insurances and one fund are provided. I believe that many people would be willing to do this kind of work even if it is done 24 hours a day.

Elodie only needed to go for half a day, then have breakfast at the cafe during the day and come back to sleep.

I believe the reason why she is willing to work night shifts without a break for a month is just because she can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as air conditioning and WIFI.

As for the store manager Ouyang Xue, she is a special "head maid". Like Elodie, she is basically in the coffee shop all day. For example, one day Yin Xiamo and I were taking a break, and Lan Jiajia went home from get off work at four in the afternoon, and Elodie didn't come so soon, so she took over the vacant position. The rest of the time she was either busy cleaning the coffee shop or busy with the public relations of the coffee shop's official account on the Internet, ensuring that there was always someone in the coffee shop.

The "Shangjing Cat Maid Cafe" was recognized by all netizens within a week of its opening because of its "24-hour operation", "high-quality maids" and "elegant environment".

The number of views of the official account operated by Ouyang Xue on Tongmeng.com soared, and she took advantage of the popularity to release the second promotional PV of the coffee shop, "Good Luck in the Grand Opening", and the material used was the shots of Yin Xiamo, Elodie and I taking off our shoes and stepping on balloons at the stall in front of the coffee shop.

The maid outfits here are modeled after Rem's in RE0: Life in a Different World from Zero, so the socks are all white silk garter stockings. Plus, Ouyang Xue cleverly placed cameras next to many balloons that day and took a lot of pictures of Yin Xiamo, Elodie and I stepping on them in white silk stockings. When you look at the phone or computer screen, it looks like our little feet are "stepping" on the audience in front of the screen, causing the barrage to be full of -

[Noer stepped on me, I lay down]

[It’s not enough to step on me, stuff it in my mouth! 】

[Ah! It's Nuoer's white silk tender feet, I'm dead! ]

Correspondingly, the comments below this promotional PV are also "harmonious" -

[Hehe, today I come to see Nuoer stepping on me again, hehehe, it feels so good, hehe...]

[She really understands, but being a loli is not enough. When will our store manager also shoot a personal PV? ]

[Read it once a day, goodbye worries, I guess I can have sweet dreams again tonight]

After this video, the number of fans on my and Xiaomo's personal accounts began to soar, and soon reached the 50,000 mark. All kinds of messy comments forced me to change my signature to "Just an ordinary maid waitress, just want to be an ordinary person, not selling original flavors, not accepting any commercial promotions, thank you for your concern", and then filled in the "Automatically send messages after following" column with "Thank you for your attention! This is Nuoer and Xia Mo's nest, we will share some life photos and short videos in the dynamics, if you like, you can like it!".

If it was Yin Shiren before, I would have been really overwhelmed by so many monsters coming at once, but it’s different now because I have Xiaomo.

I found that whenever I encountered any problem, as soon as I thought of Yin Xiamo, it seemed that all the problems could be "solved easily".

After working in the coffee shop, I have to write when I get home. Is there not enough time? Xiaomo helps with the laundry and housework, so I just need to focus on writing.

Being harassed because we are too famous, and the other party is still obsessed with dragging us into the car in real life? It doesn't matter, Miss Death's sword has a fear effect, and by the way, it will take away the other party's life by 30 years, so that the harasser will be afraid even when he thinks of our appearance.

What should I do if I don't have enough time to go to Xingguang Primary School and I'm in a hurry to get back to the coffee shop? Call Xiaomo and travel back in one second.

Even the things that make ordinary people upset, like all the curses in the book review section and many strange people sending me private messages under my Tongmeng.com account, but as long as I think of Xiaomo by my side, I always feel at ease for some reason.

Come on, Yin Xiamo will stab you once you come, and see if you dare to do it again next time.

It feels like... I have begun to regard Yin Xiamo as a kind of "support".

I will always remember the helplessness and loneliness I felt deep in my heart when Yin Xiamo stood me up for dinner half an hour later and when I tried to call her I heard the message “The number you are calling is out of service area”.

According to Su Yunjin, those "spoiled young men" who had been stabbed by Xiaomo before seemed too lazy to even leave the house these days. They looked lifeless as if they had lost interest in everything. They stayed in the apartment every day and even stopped participating in the "Anti-Nannai District Prosperity" activities that they had been very active in before.

This is enough to show the amazing effect of Yin Xiamo's knife strikes.

If what Yin Xiamo said, "There is no magic on Earth" and "This is just a basic version of Minecraft," is true, then it seems that she... can really do anything.

Perhaps, this is the main source of the "sense of security" that Xiaomo gives me.

……

Thursday, March 5th.

Two days have passed since Tuesday when Yin Xiamo left for the whole day due to "some personal matters" and was late for dinner. During these two days, I did not ask Xiaomo in depth what she did that day. After having dinner together that night, she took a bath as usual, played around in bed for a while, and then fell asleep.

For the next two days, we did the same thing as before...we got up in the morning, washed our faces together, had breakfast together, went to the coffee shop together, waited for Elodie who had worked the night shift all night, and then started a day's work as a maid.

It can be felt that after the release of the second promotional PV, more people come to the coffee shop. Although it is not as popular as the first few days after the opening, the seats in the store are almost full during the peak hours in the morning, noon and evening, and I often receive invitations to take photos.

What surprised me a little was that in the past few days, I don’t know who started it, but many people on the Internet gradually discovered Xiaomo’s charm. They all unanimously commented that she was an "elf girl". Both her appearance and temperament perfectly matched the elves or succubi in novels and animations. The number of people who wanted to take photos with her also increased several times.

"Thank you for your hard work today. Why don't you go for a walk like yesterday before going back?"

At 8:30 in the evening, Elodie, dressed in a maid outfit, came to the coffee shop from home as usual, carrying her computer and a pillow that looked like a "family heirloom", and greeted me and Yin Xiamo.

After getting used to the job of a maid, I felt that Elodie was even crazier than myself.

Usually, Yin Xiamo and I would come to the coffee shop in casual clothes and carry maid outfits to change clothes. But Elodie changed into her maid outfit at home and came with her computer and pillow in her backpack.

"If it weren't for the pillows at home, I wouldn't be able to take a comfortable nap here." - That's what Elodie said.

"Ah."

Facing Elodie who looked half asleep, I pulled Yin Xiamo over and said, "By the way, Lan Jiajia asked you to help her get a new little yellow chicken, and she said she will make you century egg porridge for breakfast tomorrow."

"Why does she want the little yellow chicken again..."

Elodie seemed a little unhappy, but didn't say anything: "I know, please be careful on the road."

"Ok."

I waved to Elodie in the store and Ouyang Xue who was grooming a cat not far away: "Let's go!"

"Bye-Bye."

Coming out of the store, I looked at the coconut trees on both sides of the corridor outside the coffee shop, which were obviously alive. I was silent for a moment as I walked with Yin Xiamo on the somewhat sultry summer tree-lined road. "Did you... go abroad that day?"

"Eh?"

Yin Xiamo was stunned for a few seconds before she responded: "Is Kitty worried about me?"

"I'm not worried about you!"

I turned around and said, "When I called you, you were out of service area. Did you go abroad or to some remote mountain area?"

"Well, I went to a more remote place. I guess there's no signal there."

Xiaomo beside him came up and said, "Don't worry, I really didn't lie to you. I'm definitely not doing anything bad."

"Humph."

I avoided the guy's gaze: "Even if you do something bad, I won't know."

"No, no, no."

As if she knew she was in the wrong, Yin Xiamo took my hand and said, "I just have some personal matters to deal with. Look at me, I'm so kind, cute, sweet and charming. How could I do something bad, right?"

I admit that you are sweet and charming, but your kindness and loveliness...isn't that too much?

Walking out of the tree-lined path outside the coffee shop and reaching the highest hillside here, I glanced towards the Kamijuma River as usual, and then I realized that the Kamijuma destroyer that had been docked here had been moved to another place by experts and technicians from the city.

"Here."

On this small hill with few people, I stretched out my hands to Yin Xiamo in front of me and said, "Come."

Every night after get off work, we would go to sit on the Nannagi Tower, look at the sea over there, listen to the sea breeze, and then chat casually before going back. This was the agreement between Yin Xiamo and I before.

"Hey."

My appearance seemed to make Yin Xiamo playful: "Nuo'er wants to say...I want a hug."

My left eye twitched, and I suppressed the urge deep inside to punch this guy, and said perfunctorily, "I want a hug."

"Hey, hey, little kitty——"

While making a strange sound, Yin Xiamo rushed over, squatted down, hugged my hips and waist with both hands, and then suddenly exerted force——

"Alas!"

I was so scared that I closed my eyes when I was instantly lifted into the air.

"let's go!"

Immediately afterwards, I don’t know where Yin Xiamo got the strength from, but we took off into the air and flew towards a certain direction in the distance.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

After a while, I heard the sound of waves and opened my eyes carefully, and saw that Yin Xiamo had brought me to a lawn near Nannagi Tower.

She kicked the grass with her small feet in ordinary sneakers, and leaped hundreds of meters into the air with me, who was held in her arms in a princess hug. We flew over the head of an old man who was catching insects for the vegetables in the vegetable garden next to the Minami Nagi Pagoda, and finally landed steadily on the Minami Nagi Pagoda.

"Whoosh..."

After falling from Yin Xiamo's arms, I carefully glanced at the lighted vegetable garden behind Nan Nagi Tower and patted my left chest.

"That's progress. You actually dared to open your eyes."

The girl next to him had an appreciative expression: "If an ordinary person saw me flying hundreds of meters in the air, they would probably faint from fear."

"The roller coaster at the park I went to with you before... was about the same thrill level as this one."

I took out my handkerchief and patted the ground under my feet, then sat down carefully and stretched out towards the sea. "I thought you would just fly like Illya."

"Who is Illya?"

"She's a magical girl."

Yin Xiamo was even more confused: "Are there magical girls on Earth?"

"No... but actually... you can have one."

I turned to the girl next to me and said, "If you wish, you can become the first magical girl on Earth."

Yes, but not necessary.

After all, the endings of the newly released magical girls are not very good.

Not to mention that "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" barely has a happy ending, even the spin-off "Magical Record" was a failure, and the previous "childhood memories" "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha" was actually quite sad. Even the original editor of "Magical Girl Illya" said that he wanted to create a world where Illya could be happy, but...then there are the "healing masterpieces" in recent years, "Magical Girl Development Project", "Magical Girls Website", "Yuuki Yuna is a Hero", etc., it seems that no magical girls are happy at all.

If I have to say, I feel that the magical girls in non-mainstream anime are actually "happier". At least they are still there and have no missing limbs.

"and this."

After taking a few deep breaths on the Minami-nagita Tower, I took out the "painting album" I found in Yin Xiamo's room from my backpack: "I was too busy yesterday and forgot to ask, can you explain what this is?"

"what……"

Seeing the album, Yin Xiamo's eyes dodged instantly: "This... this is my... my... hobby."

"You like painting?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I like painting. I love it very much. I have been practicing it for hundreds of years."

"I admit that your painting skills are very good, but there is a problem."

I opened the album and flipped through a few pages at random, looking at all the pornographic pictures of myself on them: "This album has a total of 300 pages, more than 100 of which are all drawn, and more than 100 pictures are all my pictures. You... Dear classmate Yin Xiamo, do you want to explain?"

"No need. Doesn't this just show that I love Nuoer with all my heart?"
