I will never give in to Miss Death

"Closer?"

I put some more on it: "Is this okay... huh?"

Then I was kissed.

Our mouths were facing each other, and my face was held by Yin Xiamo's hands, as if she was afraid that I would turn away.

"Well?"

I widened my eyes, somewhat unable to believe that she could just move her mouth as she said.

You know, this is on the Kamihama Bridge!

This time period happened to be the noon rush hour, and there were many pedestrians and rich young men passing by on the Kamijuma Bridge. Our behavior was no different from "kissing in the street."

What's more, there is a very obvious surveillance video above our heads...

However, the girl in front of me showed no sign of giving up or being shy. She held my head with both hands as if she was holding something dear, and kissed me very carefully and fully.

The summer breeze from the typhoon that had just passed blew slowly up from the river surface under the bridge, blowing the hair around my ears and swaying my bangs.

Not far away came the sound of waves and sporadic cries of seagulls.

A few migratory birds whose names we couldn't tell landed on the iron frame of the bridge not far from us and cast curious glances our way.

The small fish tank in my arms made a "clang, clang, clang" sound. The two little turtles seemed to be unable to bear the surrounding environment and kept hitting the plastic wall.

"Um……"

After kissing for more than half a minute, Yin Xiamo finally let go.

"Nuo'er, I can't prove those things, but there is one thing... I lost you in my last life, and I will never let you go in this life."

The little tongue licked the edge of her mouth, and the girl in front of her showed a subtle expression and turned around: "Even if there really is a parallel world like you said, I believe that I in that world will never give up on you and run over here."

The bicycle shaft under me slowly turned and the bike started moving.

Shortly after Yin Xiamo finished speaking, we began to drive slowly on the flat road of Kamihama Bridge again.

"Um……"

I was stunned for nearly half a minute before I came to my senses: "I'm sorry, Xiaomo, I don't dare to say that."

"It's okay. It's normal for you to have wild thoughts. For Noer, we've only known each other for less than a month, and you don't have a specific understanding of magic, so you feel insecure... I'd rather say that I'm quite happy."

Yin Xiamo, who was standing in front of her, pedaled her bike steadily while saying, "Lack of security is usually only experienced by girls. This means that Nuo'er has begun to adapt to and get used to a girl's body. This is cause for celebration."

"Hey."

I said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by adapting to the body... I am just speaking the truth."

"Yes, yes, my princess."

"Why don't you call me your little pet this time?"

"As expected, Nuoer prefers to be called a little pet?"

"I'm just asking questions, asking questions! Asking questions!"

I turned my face away: "Forget it, your thinking is not even on the same level as mine, I won't ask anymore."

"Noer is still so cute. When she is exposed, she will act angry, just like a jealous girlfriend."

"What a weird metaphor you are using!"

"In fact, in some ways this is a good thing. Now that you even know the mayor, won't you be able to walk around freely in Kamihama City?"

"Is it impossible for me to live sideways with a guy who can slap a typhoon away with one hand?"

"This is different. I can't go too far and I can't expose myself. It would be much more convenient if some things were handled by the official people in this world."

"I don't like dealing with official people. I always feel like they use too much official language and are very troublesome."

"I see. Nuoer likes my direct and hard approach. It seems I need to be more domineering when we go to bed tonight."

"I never said anything like that!"

"The little kitten is furious."

"..."

……

While chatting with Yin Xiamo, I returned to Elodi's Xingxing Garden community, parked the bicycle, went upstairs, and found a relatively shady place in the living room to arrange the little turtle.

"Jiang Wei probably thinks that this pair of little turtles can accompany us until old age..."

Yin Xiamo joked, “But it’s a pity that both Nuoer and I can give them away in the future.”

Feeling that Yin Xiamo must have been through something, I stood up and asked, "Are you thinking of sad memories?"

"I remembered some past events."

The girl looked out of the balcony and said, "I wonder what happened to the elves we met in the Elf Forest, the warhorse I rode, and the black dragon girl I sat on."

I teased, "Are you homesick?"

"How can that be? This is my home... Oh no, my home is where Nuo'er is."

Yin Xiamo imitated my tone and walked towards the entrance of the house.

"Let's go to the island and show you a few things."

"..."

……

No, 189 is like sipping warm coffee

After coming out of Elodie's house, Yin Xiamo and I did not ride bicycles this time. Instead, we walked south along the main road outside the Xingxing Garden community as we usually did when we went to work, climbed the familiar small slope, and walked up the hill stairs paved with simple cobblestones.

If you don't look at the panoramic view, the path outside the coffee shop has the feeling of a "farmhouse in a remote tourist attraction" - surrounded by mountains, big trees and various bushes, the "winding and secluded path" makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Only after crossing this small sloping road with shrubs and big trees on both sides will you suddenly see the light. An empty small leisure sanctuary will leisurely appear before your eyes. Along with the flat and empty green grass, the newly planted coconut trees have obviously survived, and the leaves that were originally bent have stood up again. In the middle of the open space is a giant banyan tree that is hundreds of years old. Further ahead is the coffee shop's iconic mushroom house and the small and exquisite outdoor tables and chairs in front of the house.

I believe that most people will remember the coffee shop vividly as long as they have walked this uphill road once. Moreover, because the coffee shop is located right at the entrance of the commercial street behind and the highest point of the Minami Nagi district, you can see the outline of the commercial street behind in its entirety when standing on the open space in front of the coffee shop, which makes people feel like "What are those things behind? When will they be built? I think I can come and have a look when I have time in the future."

"Oh, the typhoon just passed, it's still cooler outside."

"Indeed, but it's a bit of a shame that they don't allow people to take the cats out and pet them."

"This banyan tree is so big, it must be hundreds of years old, right? Was it transplanted by the coffee shop guys or was it originally here?"

"Why don't you ask about the coconut trees? There were definitely no coconuts here originally. They must have been moved here from somewhere."

From a distance, I climbed up to the open space and saw that the coffee shop was full of people even outside the store. Some of them ordered a hand-shredded chicken or steamed chicken with a cup of tea and two bowls of rice to enjoy a leisurely lunch here, or ordered a milk tea set meal, drinking milk tea while connecting to the store's WIFI and playing mobile games.

Through the transparent glass wall outside the coffee shop, I can also see Ouyang Xue and Lan Jiajia who are busy inside.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Chen should be responsible for preparing milk tea and coffee on the second floor today. However, facing the central service counter on the second floor is a whole mushroom-shaped umbrella cover, and the structure inside cannot be seen from here.

It can be said that Ouyang Xue now completely regards herself as a "shop assistant" or "maid", although she is the store manager.

Moreover, after recovering from her illness, Ouyang Xue was still very concerned about the coffee shop. Not only was she diligent and meticulous in her work, she also managed the "Official Account of Shanghai Cat Coffee Shop" on Tongmeng.com very well on the Internet. She would update the status around nine o'clock every evening when there were fewer people in the store. She would first use the computer to find the video of the coffee shop that day, edit some interesting highlights and post them, announce the messages from customers who "rewarded the maids" in the store, read the opinions left by customers in the "opinion form", adopt those that can be adopted, and if they really cannot be adopted, she can only say "thank you for the customer's opinion".

Suggestions like “It’s too much of a profit to take a photo with the maid for only one dollar. The maids didn’t even verify how many photos we took. I suggest raising the price to two dollars” and “Why is the tofu pudding in the store sweet? I like salty tofu pudding” can be adopted, but suggestions like “Your steamed chicken is too bland and doesn’t taste like medicine at all. Can you add some ginseng?” can only be responded to with “thank you for your advice”.

In addition to these, the most consistent praise for "cafe after-sales" on the Internet is that "the list of maids who will arrive at the store the next day will be announced around 10 o'clock in the evening."

That is to say, Ouyang Xue will have no customers in the store at night. After editing the video and sending it out, I will check the duty roster for the next day and mark when Yin Xiamo and I will be on duty and when Lan Jiajia will be on duty, so that those customers who "come for the maid" will not fail to meet the girls they like after they come.

Because with the addition of Lan Jiajia and Ouyang Xue's work, the maids in the coffee shop have been divided into "two factions", namely the "big-breasted queen faction" and the "flat-breasted loli faction". Some people like to come to the store to eat lunch and watch me and Yin Xiamo walking around and acting cute, while others like to watch Lan Jiajia and Ouyang Xue like big rabbits swaying around. The two sides quarreled fiercely under the official account, and Ouyang Xue had to release the duty roster one day in advance to prevent customers from getting angry when they come and don't see their favorite maids.

Then Elodie belongs to the "middle faction" between the "queer lady faction" and the "lolita faction" because she only comes to work at night.

It can be said that under Ouyang Xue’s operation, the coffee shop has truly achieved “prosperity”.

At least now... Today is not a major holiday, and there are a lot of people coming to the coffee shop at noon. You have to know that this is in the "retirement area" Minami Nagi District, and it is a very remote and undeveloped suburb of Minami Nagi District.

"Hello, welcome!"

"Waiter, two glasses of boiled water with ice cubes!"

After entering the house with Yin Xiamo, I waved to Lan Jiajia who was taking care of the cat on the first floor and said, "Pack up."

"It's you."

Seeing Yin Xiamo and I, Lan Jiajia stood up and asked, "Are you back from your date?"

"We haven't even started dating yet!"

Yin Xiamo said with a smile: "I want to take Nuo'er to a super secluded place and eat her clean."

"Oh--"

Lan Jiajia dragged out the word "oh": "So that's why you came here to get some free water, right?"

"There's no such thing as freeloading."

Yin Xiamo took out her phone, scanned the payment code on the side, and paid two yuan: "Ice cubes will be charged."

"You guys... aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache when eating ice in this weather?"

Lan Jiajia took two "large-capacity" cups and walked to the kitchen: "Wait for me a moment."

"Meow……"

"Meow meow meow meow..."

When they saw me come in, most of the cats who were showing their bellies and acting coquettishly came over, especially "Elvis" Timon, who ran the fastest. He almost ran to my feet immediately, and as usual, he kept nudging my little feet in socks and round-toed casual shoes with his little head.

"You..."

I took the opportunity to pick up Ding Man by his armpits and said, "I'm only taking a two-day break. Why do you make it seem like we haven't seen each other for years?"

The cats in the cafe are basically sterilized, and most of them are taken over from other cat cafes or cat owners. Because cat cafes are basically crowded with people every day, they have adapted to humans and human life. Unless some people are born with cat-attracting radio waves, these cats will not show too strong emotions.

After all, there are automatic feeders in the coffee shop, which will spit out enough cat food at the appointed time. Moreover, there are so many people in the coffee shop, and there will be customers feeding cats with cat snacks every day. The cats only need to lie there to get food that is even more delicious than cat food. Moreover, there are all kinds of customers who come to feed snacks, and the cats will definitely not act cute to these customers just for food.

Unless you bring your own cat trapping radio waves.

This is what Yin Xiamo told me. She said that I am the kind of person who has a natural cat-attracting energy because I have a certain amount of cat girl genes in my body.

The so-called "cat-trapping waves" means that some people's bodies will emit a sound wave similar to the "purring" sound of a cat when it is happy. You can't hear it yourself, but in the ears of cats it is a "friendly sound wave", and the cats around you will treat you as a good friend. This is also the reason why some people are not hated by cats wherever they go.

According to Yin Xiamo, the sound waves from me are "extremely popular with cats". In addition, I have a certain "cat scent" on me, so most cats in the coffee shop have a strong liking for me.

"Isn't that Noel?"

Perhaps attracted by the noise here, many customers turned over here. When they saw Yin Xiamo and me, they waved: "Nuo'er! Aren't you going to work today?"

"Rest today."

I put Timon down and casually touched the cats around me who were lying down with their bellies exposed, waiting to be petted. I smiled at the customers and said, "We won't be back until tomorrow."

"So do you want money for taking a photo with me today?"

"Noer, can I be your dog? I'm easy to feed. Just give me some canned cat food you don't want."

"Yin Nuoer, please come to work soon. How can I live without you..."

"All of you who are sick should die quickly."

"..."

In order to avoid standing in the coffee shop for too long and increasing Lan Jiajia and Ouyang Xue's workload, Yin Xiamo and I got some iced boiled water and left.

This is what Yin Xiamo said. Although the temperature in Kamihama City has dropped after the typhoon just passed, considering that we will be walking in the jungle on the island in a while, we should prepare some ice water to cool down.

"The scenery around Minami-nagi Tower is so beautiful from here."

Coming out of the coffee shop, Xia Mo and I walked down the mountain road on the other side and came to the coastal road in Minaminagi District.

This road is still a high point relative to the coastline, and from here you can clearly see the seaside scenery, as well as the lawns and flower fields near Minami Nagi Tower.

The Old Man and the Sea in Minaminagi Pagoda is a somewhat sad yet heartwarming love story. The old man who lost his wife has been staying near Minaminagi Pagoda, built a very simple house, takes care of Minaminagi Pagoda every day, and makes a living by catching seafood and growing vegetables behind the house.

Maybe he was too bored every day, so in addition to the daily maintenance of Minami Nagi Pagoda, the old man also plants flowers and maintains the lawn around it. Therefore, there is no overgrown weeds around Minami Nagi Pagoda like other coasts. Instead, the neat lawn is planted with various flowers, just like a small garden. Every night, when the silver moonlight shines obliquely, it feels like the Silver Garden in the anime "The Rebellion Story".

Of course, because it was noon, Yin Xiamo and I could only see a large flat grassland and flowers when we looked towards Nannagi Tower on this side of the road.

"Are you ready?"

Standing at the edge of the road, Yin Xiamo made a "come to my arms" gesture: "It may take about ten minutes to get to the island from here, Nuoer, you can take a nap."
