I endured the humiliation when I was besieged by the ghost story big sister

Ba Qu was stunned at first, looked at her with some surprise, then reacted and said.

"I have also tampered with the memories of his classmates, so nothing should happen..."

Chapter 18: Watching the Store

The next day.

Under Xi Mio's repeated insistence, Bachu had to take a day off and the young man went to the store to take charge of today's business.

In fact, Yachi was very worried about Xi Mio going there to work alone, but she really couldn't think of a reason to stop him.

So, she could only bow her head and ask Fanxia and Alisa to go with her, to take care of each other and help each other, and then, under the repeated urging of Xi Mio, she went back to her room to rest.

Xi Mio and the others changed into clothes for going out, put on their shoes at the entrance, and walked out the door.

On the way, the two people walking on the left and right of Xi Mio were a little confused as to why Xi Mio wanted to go to the store to help today.

So, Arisa was the first to ask.

"Mio, what's wrong with you today? Why do you suddenly want to go to that store to help look after it..."

"But it's my family's shop after all. It's not good to always ask Sister Bachu to help take care of it... Besides, I also want Sister Bachu to take a day or two off so she doesn't have to work so hard."

After hearing the explanation given by Xi Mio, Arisa did not continue asking questions, but instead stood aside with a thoughtful look.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the store. Xi Mio took out the key given to him by Sister Ba from his pocket and opened the lock on the door.

As the automatic glass door sensed the presence of several people, it slowly opened, allowing Xi Mio and the others to walk into the store.

After turning on the lights, Sister Fanxia couldn't wait to turn on the air conditioner in the store. After feeling the cold wind blowing across her face, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and then asked with a little confusion.

"So...Mio, what should we do now?"

Although she was called over by Yachi to help Xi Mio, she and Alisa had no idea what to do specifically and had no experience in doing this kind of thing.

As for Xi Mio, she had been to the store to help before, so she relied on her memory and walked behind the counter with ease. After turning on all the equipment that needed to be started, she spoke.

"If it's a favor... then please help me check the shelves to see if there's anything that needs to be restocked. If you see anything, please write it down."

As she spoke, Xi Mio took out two notebooks used to record replenishment information and gave them to Fanxia and Alisa.

After receiving the task, the two of them went to work, leaving Xi Mio alone behind the counter, ready to deal with the group of old men and women that Sister Bachu often talked about.

Not long after, just after the water in the boiler boiled, the elderly group, as if they were stuck in time, walked into the store and immediately discovered that the person behind the counter had been replaced.

The Miss Bachu, who was supposed to be here every morning, turned into a blond boy, which made them stunned.

Then an elderly person with a better memory recognized Xi Mio and spoke.

"Oh~ Isn't this Xi Mio? You're back from Xijing. I haven't seen you for a long time because you went to school in such a place~"

"I remember you live next door, Mrs. Xishan, right? It's great to see you still so energetic~"

Xi Mio also recognized the old man and greeted him politely. After a short while, she became familiar with this group of elderly people who liked to chat.

Seeing that Bachu didn't come today, some people were worried that she might be sick. Xi Mio's explanation was...

"Sister Bachu, I think she looks a little tired, so I'll let her take a day off and let me come over here to help."

"That's it."

Immediately afterwards, Xi Mio was besieged by a group of elderly people. She was taking orders and paying the bills while busying herself with their breakfast, looking a little flustered.

But fortunately, he didn't make any mistakes. When he made the cart noodles, Sister Bachu also specifically told him whether the sauce should be thicker or lighter, so the group of elderly people were very satisfied.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xi Mio’s arms were a little sore. Sister Bachu didn’t even tell him that the workload would be so heavy.

Now it seems that he really underestimated Sister Ba's work ability. Just the cart noodles, even the stirring in the sauce bowl, made Xi Mio a little impatient.

After watching the group of old people leave, Xi Mio slumped down in the chair behind the counter and let out a long sigh of relief.

Because the scene just now was really a bit scary, Alisa and Fanxia, ​​who were arranged by Xi Mio to count the goods, only came over here at this time.

“Is this what they call the morning rush hour?”

"How terrifying... Bachu actually spends every day like this..."

After hearing what the two of them said, Xi Mio couldn't help but add.

"Before closing the store this afternoon, I heard from Sister Bachu that there will be another evening rush hour. You two should not be too happy too soon."

After a short rest, Xi Mio took the goods that the two of them had just written that needed to be replenished and checked them carefully.

"Hmm...most of them are drinks and rice balls. It seems that the group of elderly people just now are the main consumer group."

As for the rest, they were just some snacks, probably bought by the children.

Thinking this, Xi Mio stood up from the bench, led Sister Fanxia and Alisa into the warehouse, and asked them to move the things outside according to the names of the goods written on the list.

As for Xi Mio, she was responsible for neatly arranging the goods that needed to be replenished on the shelves.

Maybe because they had things to do, the people in the store felt that time passed very quickly, and all of a sudden it was noon and time for lunch.

I saw Sister Fanxia and Alisa, each of them brought a stool and sat in front of the counter, looking at their phones bored and killing time.

Suddenly, they heard a sound of stomach growling in the store. Both of them blushed and couldn't help but ask Xi Mio.

"Um...Mio, what should we do with our lunch?"

"Hmm? There are bento boxes and rice balls in the freezer, take your pick. Of course, if you want to eat cart noodles or something, that's fine too."

After saying this, Xi Mio also walked out from behind the counter and went to the freezer with them.

There was a dazzling array of bento boxes and rice balls, so many varieties that it was a little dizzying. Even for Arisa, who was used to big scenes, it was her first time to see so many instant bento boxes put together, with so many varieties.

"Here~ Just pick any of these. You two don't get paid today anyway, so it's not a problem to have some snacks as payment."

Xi Mio said so.

"As for the reward, I think it would be better to choose something else, don't you think, Fanxia~"

Arisa grinned wickedly and nudged Fanxia beside her with her elbow, as if asking for her approval.

She was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Arisa meant, but after noticing that Arisa's eyes were always on Xi Mio, she understood immediately...

But even so, she did not choose to tell Xi Mio about this matter to let him be on guard. After all, Fanxia herself is now thinking about what kind of reward she would ask Xi Mio for.

Soon, the people who had chosen their lunch boxes sat back on the benches. Only the sound of the microwave oven was heard in the store.

"By the way, Xiao Mio, how come you haven't seen your former classmates and friends come over to play with you even though you've been back for a few days?"

Suddenly remembering what Bachu said to Xi Mio in the kitchen yesterday, Sister Fanxia asked curiously.

It seems like he wants to hint at Xi Mio's past, just treat it as a short story to relieve boredom.

And Arisa on the side obviously understood what Fanxia wanted to do, and asked quickly.

"By the way, can you tell me about your past with Bachu? For example, how did you two meet?"

"Eh?"

Seeing that the two of them were so interested in his past and that of Sister Bachu, Xi Mio sighed helplessly.

Then, he said quietly.

"Actually... I didn't have many friends before because of my hair. The kids here didn't want to play with a golden-haired weirdo like me..."

"Ah? This seems to be a little different from what you told me before, Xiao Mio, right?"

Arisa remembered it clearly. Xi Mio said that when he was in his hometown, he often played football with other friends.

But after hearing what Alisa said, Xi Mio just shook her head silently.

"That was a lie to you, Arisa... After all, it's a bit embarrassing to say such a thing out loud."

"..."

Well, that's great. Now Arisa has one more legitimate reason to raid Xi Mio's room tonight.

Fan Xia, who was listening on the side, suppressed her laughter and asked.

"But why did she say that several girls who knew you asked if you had returned to your hometown?"

"I don't know either~"

Xi Mio shrugged, indicating that she didn't quite understand what was going on.

Then he continued, "At that time, the only one who was willing to play with me was Sister Ba. Although she was quite tall at that time, I was also shocked when we first met."

"Well, I can imagine it."

However, this still cannot explain why Xi Mio at that time could see the existence of such strange stories as theirs.

Arisa could only attribute this to Xi Mio's talent.

Afterwards, without noticing that Arisa had a strange expression, Nozomi slowly told the two people in front of her about how she met Sister Yachi and how she had moved into her house.

Although, neither of them knew whether this part of their memory had been tampered with by Ba Qu.

But seeing Xi Mio's expression as if she had remembered something funny, they had no intention of exposing this white lie.

But one thing they heard from Xi Mio was that he didn't know about the Eight Trigrams, which was also a strange story...

They didn't even understand why the house they were living in now was called a haunted house by some people here.

As for wanting to get something out of Xi Mio, I think it's unlikely.

Arisa and Hoka looked at each other, and seemed to understand what the other was thinking about.

Chapter 19: Easy Coping

"Ah... I'm so bored. I didn't expect that I would feel so empty just by staying at home and resting..."

Bachu, who was forced to stay at home to rest, after having lunch with Ashi who also stayed at home, lay on the table in boredom and sighed.

Seeing this, Yashi, who was sitting opposite her, still kept his eyes on the tablet in front of him, staring at the rising or falling trend of futures on it, and then said without raising his head.

"If you're really worried, why don't you sneak over to the store and take a look?"

"Eh? Eh~"

Just like what Asi said, even if Xiao Mio wanted to take a break, it shouldn't be too much for her to go to the store and buy something to eat during her break.

Thinking of this, Bachu suddenly stood up and walked towards his bedroom upstairs, apparently intending to change into clothes for going out.

And finally, Yashimi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she no longer had to listen to her complaints.

"It's just a day off from work. You can be like this even on holiday. You are such a workaholic~"

She couldn't help but complain like this.

At the same time, the three people who were watching over the store were also bored and didn't know what to do.

She was tired of playing with her cell phone, and her little butt on the bench was a little numb. She lay listlessly on the counter, playing with paper clips to kill time.

"Hey~Mio, Alisa, look what fun I found~"

Sister Fanxia, ​​who had been wandering around the store since a while ago, suddenly shouted from between the shelves.

then.

Hiro and Alisa looked over in the direction of the voice and saw that she was holding a box of something similar to playing cards, but the colors were brighter.

The young man recognized what it was at a glance and was stunned for a moment before he spoke slowly.

"Isn't this 'UNO'? Where did you find this thing, Fanxia?"

"It's on the shelf near the door. How about coming to play?"

Just when Fanxia was instigating the two people next to the counter to play "UNO" with her, coincidentally, the glass door suddenly opened and a ding-dong sound was heard, indicating that a customer had arrived.

"Ah~ Isn't this Xi Mio-kun? Why isn't Miss Yachi here to look after the store today?"

"Eh?"

Hearing that the guest seemed to know him, Xi Mio was a little confused. Looking at the unfamiliar girl in front of him, he couldn't recognize who she was for a while.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"It's me, Xishan Xiangzi, your classmate in junior high school, um... I was the sports committee member!"

After hearing the repeated explanations from the dark-skinned girl in front of him, Xi Mio vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person.

After confirming that it was her former classmate, Xi Mio put on a businesslike smile and said.
