"Ah~ I remember now, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hmm - give me a portion of curry fish balls and a hot dog, both for takeaway."

"it is good."

After saying that, Xi Mio turned around and was about to get a bowl of fish balls from the side, but was quickly questioned by the dark-skinned girl.

"Hey, Xi Mio-kun, you still haven't told me what happened to Miss Yachi?"

"I'm on vacation. If there are no problems, I'll be back tomorrow."

Xi Mio was as cold as she could be and had no intention of taking the initiative to talk to the girl named Nishiyama Kyoko.

Just when Nishiyama Kyoko wanted to go ahead and chat with Xi Mio for a while, a tall figure suddenly blocked her way.

"Sir, is there anything else I can help you with? Xi Mio is busy right now, so if you need anything else, please let me know."

I saw Alisa looking at the dark-skinned girl in front of her with a very kind face, and her wine-red eyes looked very scary.

The girl who seemed to be having some evil thoughts was scared away very easily, and this scene was seen by Xi Mio who was busy behind the counter.

After a while, after the girl named Nishiyama Kyoko left, Sister Fanxia, ​​who had been watching the show on the side the whole time, walked behind the counter and whispered to Xi Mio.

"Look~ Fortunately, Yachi had the foresight to let me and Alisa come to help, otherwise~ Xiao Mio, you don't know how long you will be annoyed by this kind of person~"

"Hmm? Sister Fanxia, ​​were you able to help me? I only saw Arisa trying to stop that person from trying to get close to me~"

Xi Mio said with a smile, and immediately saw through Sister Fanxia's little intention of coming over at this time. While Arisa was not looking at them, Xi Mio reached out and pinched Sister Fanxia's butt hard.

"Alas?!"

Fanxia, ​​who had not expected the boy to do this, could not help but let out an embarrassing scream, which immediately attracted a puzzled look from Arisa.

In order to prevent the girl from noticing what was going on between them, Sister Fanxia had to suppress the strange feeling behind her and gave Arisa a slightly awkward smile.

"what happened to you?"

Alisa asked with some curiosity.

"No, I just bumped into the table by accident, it's not a big deal."

After she had evaded the matter, she left the counter as if escaping, and went behind the rows of shelves with a red face.

It is already three o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still four hours before they can go back, which is really a bit unbearable.

Just when Xi Mio thought that he would just sit here and wait for the rest of the time for the group of old men and women to make a surprise attack, he suddenly saw a furtive figure at the door, looking into the store.

Because the sunlight outside was too bright, Xi Mio couldn't see clearly who it was for a while.

then.

Taking advantage of the time when the dark figure and head were hiding again, Xi Mio rushed forward and ran straight from behind the counter.

As the glass door opened, he turned around and saw Sister Bachu, who was a little panicked and looking around for a place where she could hide.

"Why are you here, Sister Ba? Didn't I tell you to stay home and rest? Why did you sneak over here?"

"Huh? This..."

She was so anxious that she even forgot the words that Ashi taught her before she went out. She stammered and couldn't explain clearly, which made Xi Mio feel even more puzzled.

However, it was not a good idea for the two of them to stand outside the store and bask in the sun all the time. If Sister Bachu were to go back directly, it would seem a bit inhumane.

So, Xi Mio took Sister Bachu into the store. The powerful air conditioning made Bachu feel much cooler as she had walked all the way under the scorching sun.

Sister Fanxia and Alisa, who were staying in the store, were originally wondering why Xi Mio suddenly rushed out.

But when they saw him coming back, Ba Qu, who was following behind him, immediately understood what had happened.

"Ah~ Bachu couldn't help it and came over here to see the situation?" Arisa couldn't help but say.

"It seems that this is correct."

Xi Mio shrugged his shoulders, returned to the counter, and clasped his hands across his chest, waiting for Sister Bachu to give him a reasonable explanation as to why he was here.

With the help of the cool air from the air conditioner, Bachu finally calmed down and remembered what Yashi said to her before she went out.

Although she had no confidence, she still said this to Xi Mio.

"I'm just on vacation, I came to the store to buy some drinks and snacks, is that not okay?"

"Oh? You walked for more than ten minutes just to buy something?"

Xi Mio couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, as if she didn't expect Sister Bachu to say that. She must have been taught by someone how to deal with this situation.

As for who it was, Xi Mio could already guess it roughly. Apart from Aunt Asi who was still staying at home, no one else could give Sister Bachu any advice.

Seeing that Xi Mio did not continue to ask questions on this issue, Ba Qu walked to the counter and asked softly.

"How do you feel today? Are you comfortable staying in the store?"

"It's not bad, but when facing that group of 'old people walking around', I felt a little overwhelmed."

He didn't hide anything and told the old men and women directly. You know, his hands were numb from stirring the sauce for the cart noodles.

After hearing Xi Mio's complaint, she couldn't help but smile and then said.

"Once you get used to it, you will gradually master the essentials of mixing noodles and your hands won't get so tired."

As she spoke, she brought a stool and sat in front of the counter. It seemed that she wanted to stay until closing time and go back with Xi Mio and the others.

With the addition of Sister Hachi, the store suddenly became lively. She was like an older sister, and could handle both Fanxia and Risa with ease, which made Xi Mio stunned, not knowing how she did it.

When the group of old people visited the shop again, they were delighted when they saw Ba Chu was also there, and they hurried forward to ask.

"Didn't you say you were on vacation today? Why are you here?"

"That is to say, it would be bad if you were exhausted."

It seems that Sister Bachu is very familiar with these old men and women. Xi Mio looked at her with a little surprise, wondering how she could deal with them so easily.

"Hey, Xiao Mio, I feel like it's a bit redundant for you to come over here to help."

Arisa and Fanxia, ​​who also saw this scene, gave very pertinent comments.

"...It's none of your business!"

Xi Mio glared at them with a bit of embarrassment, as if to say that if they continued talking like that, tonight's dinner would be the dishes they both hated the most.

This moment made the two of them shut up.

Chapter 20 A Little Interlude

evening.

After dealing with that group of old men and women, Xi Mio's pressure was suddenly reduced a lot because of Sister Bachu's help.

The two of them worked together very quickly and prepared dozens of cart noodles in a short while.

Soon, it was time to close the store. After a simple count of today's sales and the goods that needed to be purchased.

The few people who walked out of the store locked the door and then walked slowly towards home.

"I wonder if anything will happen to my mother when she stays at home alone... Without Boros here, she is still a little unpredictable."

Arisa, who was walking beside Hiro, couldn't help but say this.

After hearing her say an unfamiliar name, Bachu asked with some curiosity.

"Who is this Boros you're talking about?"

"That's the maid in the home of Aunt Arisa and Aunt Asami. She usually takes care of their daily life."

Xi Mio explained to Sister Yachi that maybe because what she did was somewhat similar to what Boros did, Xi Mio still had a very good impression of this cat maid.

After a while, they returned to their doorstep while chatting.

Xi Mio took out the key from under the carpet in front of the door and opened the door as if she was familiar with the place. After entering the entrance hall, she took off her shoes casually, threw them aside, and walked towards the living room.

It has to be said that Arisa's worries are not without reason.

As soon as she entered the living room, Xi Mio saw a water stain on the tatami, probably because something had just been knocked over on it.

Aunt Yashi was a little embarrassed and was wiping it with a rag.

"Auntie Asami, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Mio walked up to her and asked with a little curiosity, but she didn't mean to blame her. It was just something like knocking over a cup of water, just a small problem.

After hearing the young man's question, the beautiful woman saw that he had no intention of blaming her, so she told him about her attempt to make some black tea by herself.

There was nothing wrong with the steps, but when I was walking to the living room with the cup, I accidentally tripped over my left foot and fell, and the tea in the cup spilled onto the tatami.

Fortunately, she didn't burn herself and the problem was not serious.

And those who walked into the living room later, including Arisa, Fanxia, ​​and Yachimi, also noticed the situation in the living room.

Seeing her mother embarrassed, Arisa was the first to step forward and mocked, "What's wrong, mom? Are you so clumsy when you are alone at home? Why don't you buy a plane ticket for Boros and let her come over~"

"piss off."

She glared at her stupid daughter in annoyance, then focused her attention on the stains on the tatami and concentrated on helping Xi Mio deal with the traces of spilled tea.

As for dinner, it was left to Sister Bachu to prepare. Anyway, they had tasted Bachu's cooking and had no objections.

a long time.

Xi Mio and Asi, who had finally cleaned the tatami on the ground, slumped down on the ground. Maybe because they had been keeping their heads down for a long time, both of them felt their necks a little sore, and they rubbed them with their hands.

As for Alisa and Fanxia, ​​Xi Mio didn't expect them to help, or rather, she was thankful that they didn't cause any trouble.

"Mio, you don't have anything to say? Even if you can just scold me a few times..."

Ami always felt that she would feel uncomfortable if Xi Mio didn't say a few words to her, and she whispered this to the boy.

But after hearing what she said, Xi Mio was stunned for a moment, and then asked back with some confusion.

"Why are you talking about you, Auntie Asami? These are just small things. It's no big deal to knock over a cup, right?"

Xi Mio obviously didn't take this seriously. After a brief rest, she walked towards the kitchen to help Bachu prepare dinner for tonight.

Only Aunt Yashi was left, still sitting on the floor, seemingly thinking about something in a daze.

After a long time, everyone sat around the kotatsu table, ready to enjoy tonight's dinner, but what made Xi Mio a little uncomfortable was...

This time, not only Sister Yachi, Sister Fanxia and Sister Arisa were staring at him, but even Aunt Asi, who usually had little presence, was looking at him.

It was as if there was something strange on his face, but he didn't know what to say. He could only bite the bullet and pick up the chopsticks, silently picking up the food.

Try to finish this somewhat unpleasant dinner as quickly as possible so that he can go back to his room to avoid the limelight.

"Hey~ Xiao Mio, who are you going to take a bath with later?"

Alisa suddenly asked.

"Eh?"

Xi Mio had not expected that she would ask this question at the dinner table and was caught off guard.

Before I even had time to think, Sister Fanxia at the side took the opportunity to speak.

"Xiao Mio, it's been a while since you took a bath with me~ Why don't you just go with me tonight~"

She asked tentatively, her beautiful eyes peeking at Xi Mio's face, wanting to see how he reacted.

But she found that Xi Mio rejected the choice between her and Alisa without even thinking about it, and set her sights on Asi and Yachi.

After a while, when everyone was waiting for Xi Mio to give an answer, Xi Mio asked quietly.

"Can't I wash by myself?"

"No." ×4

"..."

It's rare to see the four of them agree on something so unanimously, but they just happen to be against her, and Xi Mio feels helpless.

Under the strong request of several people, Xi Mio still chose to take a bath with Sister Bachu. At least Sister Bachu would not do anything inappropriate when she was with him... probably.

Afterwards, Xi Mio, who was already full, cleaned up her dishes, stood up and walked to the kitchen.

In the sink, clear water kept flowing over the surface of the plate. Looking at this scene, Xi Mio remembered the dark-skinned girl named Nishiyama Kyoko whom she met during the day.
