I will never give in to Miss Death
Page 203
Hearing this, Lan Jiajia's face showed a trace of tenderness and helplessness, then she sighed and walked towards the kitchen: "Don't call me and say you have a stomachache and want to go to the hospital."
"No, no, my wife is the best!"
Seeing that the other party finally compromised, Elodie returned to her seat and picked up the milk. Then, she seemed to notice that Yin Xiamo and I were looking at her, so she turned her head and said in our direction: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a lesbian."
"Ah, I know."
I nodded: "I didn't think about it that way."
"You got it wrong, man."
Elodie continued to explain: "Lan Jiajia and I are just friends in the game. We often tease each other like this in the game. Our relationship is just that. It's not what you think."
"Yeah, yeah, I know."
I continued nodding: "Xiaomo and I often do this, right Xiaomo?"
"what?"
Yin Xiamo showed a "Quincy/Aqua" OvO expression: "Are you explaining something? Or are you talking in code? I don't understand."
"nothing."
I quickly turned my face away: "Hurry up and eat breakfast, it will get cold soon."
"..."
After eating the nutritious breakfast specially made by Lan Jiajia, I went to the balcony to take down the small vest that Yin Xiamo helped wash last night and the garters exclusively for the coffee shop maids, then went back to the room and chose the Lolita summer dress that Yin Xiamo had bought online before.
This afternoon is Jiang Wei and Ye Zi's wedding. I have to work half a day in a coffee shop in the morning, and then change into daily clothes in the afternoon to attend the wedding.
Generally, when attending someone else's wedding, according to etiquette rules, everyone will wear some of their favorite, beautiful, or expensive clothes.
At the moment, the only "expensive" and "beautiful" piece of clothing for me at Elodie's rental house is this dress.
Moreover, this kind of small skirt is just right to match the white silk stockings that come with the cafe maid outfit. Because the skirt is relatively long, wearing garters looks like wearing pantyhose, which is in line with the Lolita style.
So it’s not that I’m into women’s clothing, it’s just… the situation forces me to do so.
"..."
I skillfully put the white stockings on my legs, moved my thighs, calves, knees and feet, stroked the socks with both hands to make them stick well to the skin, tied the suspenders, put on the small skirt, simply combed two ponytails in front of the mirror, and made the bangs in front into a hairstyle similar to a "princess cut". Looking at the energetic little loli in the mirror, I jumped twice on the spot, slightly adjusted the edge of my skirt, then took the bag containing various small items and left the room.
At this time, Yin Xiamo from the opposite room just changed her clothes and came out. She grabbed my hand and kissed me on the face: "Nuo'er is so cute today!"
"I'm going to put on a thick layer of foundation when I go out, and kiss you to death."
Saying this with dissatisfaction, I came to the entrance with my rabbit backpack on my back, took the small round-toed leather shoes here, unfastened a few buckles, and put my little feet in.
"Finally got this little rascal into bed."
Lan Jiajia came down from the second floor and saw Yin Xiamo and I: "Are you leaving? Wait for me for a moment, I'll go get my bag."
A few minutes later, I had just put on my shoes and stood up when Lan Jiajia came over with her small leather bag. "You two are obviously dressed as a couple. Are you going to someone else's wedding to ruin it?"
"No, Jiang Wei and Ye Zi are in true love."
I remembered the happiness that appeared on Ye Zi's face every time she talked about "Brother Jiang Wei" when we were having dinner here last night: "These two are the happiest couple I have ever seen."
Although I don’t know many couples or “couples” so far, there are only four or five pairs at most.
For example, the pet Pippi and his wife, their family can be considered "happy and harmonious", but judging from the way he plays games with us and his complaints in the editor group, Pippi does not seem to be very "happy".
He and his current wife are just "compatible" and "married for the sake of getting along", but Pippi likes his daughter very much. Although he complains every day that this little ancestor is a leaky cotton-padded jacket, when we met in the coffee shop before, I could see that he is actually very happy to have such a daughter.
In addition to this...Tongzi Cai Jingtong and "Maple" Zhou Lulu who came to the coffee shop before are a couple, but they are both college students. I'm not sure if they can really get together after they enter the society. And then there's our store manager Ouyang Xue and Li Chen. I'm also not sure if they can get together.
"Did you both bring umbrellas?"
At the door, Lan Jiajia pointed at her backpack and said, "The typhoon is coming in two days. It will probably be cloudy and rainy these two days. Bring an umbrella with you, just in case."
"Take it, take it."
I nodded, "I am also considered an old citizen of Kamihama City."
I took the elevator down and walked out of the corridor, and a cool sea breeze immediately blew towards me.
"Huhuhu..."
So comfortable.
To be honest, the outfit I'm wearing is really suitable for this kind of autumn weather.
The socks that come with the maid outfit in the coffee shop are made of a very special material. They are very soft and comfortable to wear. The dress Xiaomo bought is of a very light design. If it is summer, the clothes will feel a bit sticky if you sweat too much. On the contrary, the temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius, coupled with the occasional sea breeze, is more suitable for this "summer dress".
“Even the weather has turned cold.”
Walking on the path outside, Lan Jiajia looked at the place where the sky and the sea meet not far away: "I hope this typhoon will not come directly to Shenbin City. A strong typhoon of level 15 is too terrible."
Generally, the temperature in Kamihama City will drop before a typhoon arrives. In the summer, the temperature can drop by as much as 10 to 20 degrees. In the winter, it can be freezing cold with all kinds of storms. So, we can only enjoy the sea breeze and pleasant temperature for one or two days. Once the typhoon is over, it will become hot again.
The typhoon is coming, what should we do with the coconut trees that Xiongxiong gave us?
They have just been planted, they won’t be blown down by the typhoon, right?
"Hey! Nuo'er, and... Xia Mo."
Together with Yin Xiamo and Lan Jiajia, I walked up the small slope and came to the familiar tree-lined path in front of the coffee shop. To my surprise, I actually saw Xiong Xiong, who had been "missing" for several days.
Unlike the first time we met, today Xiong Xiong was wearing a large "Hawaiian" style shirt, short jeans, and her blonde hair was tied up, giving her a "tomboy" vibe.
The most important thing is that her skin seemed to be a little darker, as if she had just returned from the beach after being sunbathed for a few days.
“Kamihama is such a great place.”
Seeing Yin Xiamo and I, Xiong Xiong, who was directing the workers to reinforce the brackets around the coconut trees, smiled happily: "It's just that the sun is a little strong. I went to Shenbin Lake for two days and my skin has become much darker."
Oh, so you went to Kamihama Lake, no wonder.
I was thoughtful.
Lake Kamihama is the most famous tourist attraction between the Artisan District and the Daito District of Kamihama City. It is also the largest underground fountain in Kamihama City. It is directly connected to the Kamihama River, and then to another Kamihama River, and finally flows into the sea.
It can be said that if I had enough money, I could rent a small boat directly from the riverside on the coffee shop side, drive north, cross the two Kamihama Bridges, turn right, and arrive at Kamihama Lake.
The "sunbathing" at Kamihama Lake is also a unique attraction, and many people come here just to sunbathe on the beach.
I was wondering why Xiongxiong looked a little darker.
"How did you come."
Seeing Ouyang Xue beside Xiong Xiong, I walked over and looked at the oversized brackets near the coconut tree: "Can these withstand typhoons?"
"Hard to say."
Ouyang Xue shook her head, then turned her gaze to the big banyan tree and some decorative trees at the back: "Don't say these trees have just been planted. If orchids really land in Nannai District directly from the coast, these trees will probably be in trouble. The houses that are still under construction in the commercial street may not be able to hold up."
Yin Xiamo asked curiously, "Is the typhoon so powerful?"
“Typhoons are natural disasters.”
Ouyang Xue smiled bitterly, "We humans have only a few thousand years of civilization history, and have only entered the modern era for a few hundred years. How can we fight against the power of nature? We can only pray that the wind speed will drop when the typhoon flies here for two days. The worst result may be a tsunami like it did more than a decade ago, and even the coffee shop will be messed up in the end."
Yin Xiamo was puzzled: "Can't this house withstand a typhoon?"
"It can withstand the wind, but the nearby wires... and network equipment and so on, they definitely can't withstand a high wind speed. If the power goes out, then all the equipment in the coffee shop, including the refrigerator, automatic feeder, and automatic waterer, will stop working. At that time, the city's warning level will probably be raised to red. We can only stay at home. If the wind is too strong, it will roll up rocks and smash the doors and windows of the house, irritating the cats inside..."
Ouyang Xue sighed: "Of course, these are relatively extreme situations. It seems that this typhoon does not have such strong destructive power now."
Yin Xiamo asked, "Does that mean it has the potential to become stronger?"
"It's possible, but the probability is low. It will probably be just a storm like the previous typhoons."
"OK, thanks."
"Why does your tone sound so..."
Ouyang Xue joked, "It's like we're preparing to go out and take down this typhoon."
"No, no, just asking."
Yin Xiamo took my hand and said, "Sister Ouyang, let's go change clothes first."
"Yeah, let's go."
"..."
When we reached the entrance of the coffee shop, and saw that there were no people around, I carefully leaned close to Yin Xiamo's ear and asked, "You don't really have any thoughts about that typhoon, do you? Typhoons happen almost every year in coastal cities here, and they're not too serious."
"It could get serious, right?"
Yin Xiamo didn't comment and just smiled at me.
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
"..."
……
No. 171 The incarnation of wind, waiting for your demolition
Probably because the weather was very cool and very suitable for outdoor sports, there were fewer people coming to the coffee shop compared to last Saturday.
According to Ouyang Xue's investigation, the customer flow of the coffee shop is to a certain extent proportional to the bad weather outside.
For example, in the sunny weather like the past few days, there were a lot of people coming to the store. Some of them came from far away after seeing the advertisement to try the new products, and some came to travel nearby, such as playing in the water at the Blue Sea and Silver Sand, or taking a boat to fish at the Kamigahama River, or visiting the historical museum "Kamihama Cruiser", or wandering around the woods near Minami Nagita. After playing and feeling thirsty, and unable to bear the sun, they found a place like a coffee shop that "provides free air conditioning" and chose to come in to take a look.
Before, I thought that there shouldn't be many customers of this type, but Ouyang Xue used the method of advertising at nearby tourist attractions to prove to me that everything is possible.
Ouyang Xue bribed almost all the administrators of the nearby tourist areas. Advertisements for the coffee shop could be seen in almost all areas of human activity around the area—the entrances to the small lawn near the Shenbin River, the ticket gate for the Shenbin cruiser, the beach entrance near Minami-nagi Tower, the blue sea and white sand with coconut trees...
In these places, Ouyang Xue posted a map of the coffee shop, which detailed how to get to the coffee shop from there, briefly introduced the various foods and drinks currently on sale in the coffee shop, emphasized the word "free", and left a contact number.
Free water and drinks - whether it's mineral water or plum juice, you can drink it for free as long as you come in.
Free air conditioning and Wi-Fi - 24 hours a day, no matter how long you use it.
Free maid service and cat petting service - there are many cute maids and cats in the store.
With such publicity, all tourists who are tired of playing nearby or don’t know where to go next will naturally become interested in Shangjing Cat Cafe after seeing the advertisement, and will naturally follow the instructions on the billboard to come to the store to find out.
Now with the development of the gaming industry, everyone knows that free games are the most expensive, but they don’t realize that free cafes actually also cost a lot of money.
As soon as those customers enter the store, unless they are really thick-skinned, they will always be unable to resist spending money in an environment like a coffee shop. Even if they don’t buy food or drink milk tea, they are not willing to spend money on the maids in the store. But when they see that the kittens are so cute and they play with and touch them, they will more or less have the thought of “the environment here is so nice and I’m having a lot of fun, so I might as well buy some cat snacks to support them”, and then they can no longer stop wanting to spend money.
Now that the temperature in Kamihama City has dropped, "air conditioning" is less attractive to nearby tourists, and correspondingly, fewer customers are coming to the store.
Although I am very happy about the drop in temperature, but...when I think that the temperature has dropped because of the arrival of the typhoon, I always feel a little uneasy.
A typhoon, no matter what level it is, will definitely cause a certain degree of damage as long as it passes through the city directly, and may even cause casualties among the people in the city.
Once a coastal city encounters a typhoon that comes directly from the sea, a tsunami is inevitable, and it will be difficult to protect the people living on the coast and various public properties.
Like the tourist attraction that Yin Xiamo and I went to before, there were many shops on the shore, and several shops were directly opened on the beach. Once a typhoon came, these shops would definitely be flooded, and they had to complete all the evacuation work within two days.
"It's so sad. Another typhoon is coming. This time it seems to be particularly terrible. Fortunately, we detected it in advance."
"Yes, the last typhoon came two days ago. It only touched our side but destroyed two cargo ships and killed two people in the city."
"I remember that there was a delivery man who didn't wear a helmet and the tree was blown down and he died."
"Alas... the scenery of Kamihama City is beautiful, but it can't withstand the typhoons every year. Especially this year, it's too strong. It is said that the maximum wind speed can blow up the car..."
Just as Yin Xiamo and I changed into maid outfits and came out of the bathroom, when we returned to the first floor, the news broadcast on the large LCD screen at the top of the central hall caught my attention.
"Typhoon 'Lanchi' is currently moving towards the south sea of Kamihama City at a speed of 28 to 30 kilometers per hour. The intensity has not changed much or has slightly increased. It is expected to land near Minami Nagi Bay in Kamihama City in two days. All major schools and employers are requested to adjust their holidays..."
“当期气象局已将灾害等级从橙色升级为红色,预计5月20日凌晨至18时神滨市新西区、参京区、大东区将有8到10级风,水名区、中央区、工匠区将出现9到10级风,荣耀区、南凪区、工匠区将出现11级风,神滨自然资源部已发布海啸预警……”
"Kamihama City issues a red rainstorm warning..."
Oh my God, is it really going to hit me directly?
The weather forecast on the large LCD screen made me feel a little scared.
Strong winds of level 11 will occur in the Glory District, Minami Nagi District, and Craftsman District.
What does a force 11 wind mean?
The speed of a Category 11 storm is over kilometers per hour, close to the speed of an express train. As long as it appears on land, there will be heavy losses - if it appears at the dock, the ships moored at the dock, especially kayaks and motorboats, will definitely be in trouble, the buildings will definitely be destroyed, and some coconut trees and green vegetation will probably be uprooted and blown away.
In other words...these newly planted coconut trees in front of the coffee shop cannot withstand a force 11 wind without firm roots, and they will probably be blown away to who knows where.
Secondly, such a terrible storm would definitely cause huge waves in Minami Nagi Port, causing a tsunami of a certain scale.
