......
Ah, I have been wandering outside the kendo hall for so long without realizing it. Teruhashi Kokomi, Teruhashi Kokomi, you are such a beautiful girl, why are you so interested in such an ordinary boy?
Ok?
He...he seemed to be seriously injured. Not only were there bruises on his face, but there were also obvious bruises on the wrists of his sleeves.
He...are the people in the Kendo Club so barbaric?
No!
After all, he was the one who once saved... no, he was the one who once covered my escape. How could I just watch him being bullied?
I heard that the former manager of the Kendo Club has graduated, and there happens to be a vacancy now. How about... I reluctantly go for an interview for the position of Kendo Club manager, so that I can take care of him a little!
There’s nothing I can do about it, because I’m a perfect beautiful girl who is both cute and kind!
......
4 month 4 day.
Fujiwara Chika, ah Fujiwara Chika, I didn't expect you to be such a person.
It would have been fine if she had used the squad leader's name to get close to that idiot, but she was so shameless as to eat food fed by a man she had only known for two days in public?
and......
and......
Is that guy so good looking?
Maybe, perhaps, it was because he was so handsome, so he didn't say "oh" when he saw me, a beautiful girl?
That must be the case!
But...but...but I also want to taste that Mapo Tofu. It smells so fragrant, it must be delicious, right?
Eh?
isn't it?
Did this girl Fujiwara Chika actually have lunch with Uesugi-kun so naturally?
If I had known that there would be a class monitor election at the beginning of the school year, I would not have given it to her!
Ok?
Is this the milk tea shop opened by Uesugi-kun’s family?
What is milk tea?
Some kind of dessert?
No, no matter what it is, I'll go check it out next weekend, at least... at least this way if I "coincidentally" meet him, it won't seem out of place at all.
......
4 month 13 day.
The weather today is not very good. The drizzle makes people feel cool unconsciously.
That's over there...
It's Chika Fujiwara and Shinomiya from the next class.
Where are they going in this weather?
I seemed to hear the word "milk tea shop" from their mouths. Were we going to Uesugi-kun's milk tea shop at his invitation?
It seems I have to speed up my pace.
......
Aren’t Fujiwara Chika and the others out yet?
This newly opened dessert shop doesn't seem to be doing very good business, as there are no other customers except Fujiwara and her friends.
But it’s also good this way. This kind of “chance encounter” may allow me and Uesugi-kun to have more space to communicate.
Huh?
The middle-aged man who looked a bit fierce and had nothing to do with desserts walked out of the store. He should be a clerk in this dessert shop, right?
Are they Uesugi-kun's family?
Recruiting part-time workers...
I suddenly seemed to have a good idea.
......
"Uncle store manager, is your store hiring part-timers?
It looks like... a dessert shop?"
Just after writing the four words "Recruiting part-time workers", he squatted in front of the signboard and pretended to "hesitate", secretly staring at Saito Taku who was in the store. He was really sighing that his young master had finally grown up and knew how to ask girls to the dessert shop for a date, when a sweet voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Saito Takuma immediately bounced up from the ground with a thud as if he had been hit by the thousand-year death spell.
"Oh...Oh hoo!"
However, just as he turned around and looked in the direction of the sweet voice, he somehow couldn't help but let out an "oh" sound.
Perhaps it was because Saito Takuma, with his face full of Araki lines, said "Oh" too harshly, and Teruhashi Shinmi, who had been looking normal before, suddenly twitched her eyes and repeated what she had just said again.
“Excuse me, is your store hiring part-timers?
I'm a freshman at Xinghai High School, and I can help out on weekday evenings and weekends."
Maybe it was because Teruhashi Shinmi's looks were so stunning, or maybe it was due to other considerations, but after hearing Teruhashi Shinmi's words, Saito Takuma responded quickly without even thinking.
"That's great, but I'm not the manager of this store. Please wait for a moment."
After saying that, Saito Takuma turned around and gently knocked on the floor-to-ceiling window of the milk tea shop. After seeing Long Yan's gaze turning to him, he quickly made a gesture to Long Yan to "come out for a moment".
Perhaps because of the angle, Long Yan did not see Teruhashi Shinmi outside the store until he apologized to Fujiwara Chika and came out of the store. Then he saw this beautiful girl who looked familiar but whose name he could not remember.
After briefly learning about the situation from Saito Takuma, Ryuhiko was very happy that his store had such a beautiful poster girl. He agreed to Teruhashi Kokomi's request without even thinking about it.
"In this case, the hourly wage is 1200 yen, and I work every weekday evening and weekend, and the salary is paid monthly. Do you think this is okay?"
It seemed that she was not surprised at all that Long Yan did not recognize her. Teruhashi Xinmei actually smiled and softly accepted the salary conditions, which were not very generous: "Sure."
Long Yan, who was still smiling, stretched out his right hand habitually, "Well, I haven't asked for your name yet, what is it..."
Facing Long Yan's outstretched right hand, Teruhashi Xinmei didn't hesitate at all, and directly stretched out her right hand and gently shook it with him, saying: "My name is Teruhashi Xinmei, thank you for your guidance in the future, store manager~"
.........cut.........
PS. I’m going to my parents-in-law’s house to pay New Year’s greetings tomorrow, so the update will be a little later.
Chapter 42 The wheel of destiny has begun to turn slowly
The night view of Tokyo is beautiful, but beneath the bright lights and revelry, no one knows what kind of evil is hidden.
Teruhashi Shinmi was very supportive. As soon as she accepted the part-time job, she put on an apron with the "Longjing Mixiang" logo printed on it under the guidance of Saito Takuma and began to adapt to the work in the milk tea shop.
It was not until she entered the store and was recognized by Fujiwara Chika that Ryuhiko realized that Teruhashi Kokomi was actually a classmate of his.
However, when Teruhashi Shinmi and Fujiwara Chika met, the legendary Shura scene did not happen. Teruhashi Shinmi was like the most perfect virtuous wife. She just greeted Fujiwara Chika and the other two with a faint smile, and that was all.
The two people sent away Fujiwara Chika, who was moved by her own life story and in tears. Of course, this version had been artistically processed, which was the version that had been previously told to the two inspectors of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department.
Long Yan held his hot milk tea and sat at the booth by the floor-to-ceiling window in the store, looking at the drizzle outside the window, as if he was enjoying a peaceful and tranquil life.
"Dingling~"
"Hey, hey, you two young lovers are just going on a date, why do you have to drag me along?"
However, this rare tranquility did not last long.
As the wind chimes rang at the door of the store, a voice full of complaints also entered Long Yan's ears at the same time.
It's Suzuki Sonoko.
The familiar voice made Long Yan understand who the visitor was at the first moment, but he didn't know why. Suddenly, he seemed to feel a cool air flowing from the soles of his feet upwards, through the coccyx, and along the cervical vertebrae straight to the top of his head.
The sudden chill made him shudder, and he subconsciously looked towards the door.
As expected, in addition to the happy face of Mouri Ran, the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era", "savior of the Japanese police", who had a pair of dead fish eyes and a face full of reluctance, Kudo Shinichi, who had not yet turned into the elementary school student who knew the god of death, suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Long Yan, we are here to support you!"
Ignoring Suzuki Sonoko's complaints, after pushing Kudo Shinichi into the store, Mao Lilan greeted Ryuhiko enthusiastically and introduced him to her boyfriend Kudo Shinichi, from whom she was about to be "separated for twenty years".
However, an accident happened at this time.
After they exchanged their names, Kudo Shinichi held his chin with his right index finger and thumb, stared at him with a rather suspicious look and asked softly, "You seem to know me?"
Hearing this, Long Yan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Kudo Shinichi is not as easy to fool as Mori Kogoro. Although Ryuhiko doesn't know where he revealed his flaw, he is not an easy person to deal with. After hearing what Kudo Shinichi said, he immediately continued with the conversation without changing his expression.
"As a member of Xinghai, of course I have heard of Senior Kudo's name. I heard that this year the football club has brought in the golden duo from Nankatsu Middle School. It seems that Senior has a good chance of winning the national competition this year."
It seemed that because the topic was quite interesting, before meeting Gin, Kudo Shinichi was not too wary of people who knew him. He suddenly became interested, although he had been lacking interest at first.
"So you're also following our football club?
You don't know, Taro Misaki is so amazing. It's as if he has a telepathic connection with me. Every pass he makes can reach the right spot for me. It's hard to imagine how amazing Tsubasa Ozora, who is known as his golden partner, is.
I heard that guy was going to skip high school and go straight to Brazil to start his professional career. I am really envious of him. Not having played against such a guy might be my biggest regret.”
Seeing that Kudo Shinichi had been diverted by himself, Long Yan, who had successfully fooled him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After a while, Teruhashi Kokomi, who had already mastered the art of making milk tea, faithfully performed her duties as the waitress. She carried a tray, served three cups of milk tea, and after leaving a sweet smile to everyone, she returned to the bar.
Just after Teruhashi Kokomi left, Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting next to Ryuhiko, poked Ryuhiko's arm with her elbow with a sly smile on her face.
"I can't believe it. We just opened our business and we found such a pretty signboard girl. Long Yan, you don't have any idea about her, do you?
Well, although the school does not support students falling in love too early, look at the couple opposite you, they have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. You are only in your first year of high school and you are not in love at all."
"Garden!"
Ran Mouri, whose face turned red, quickly stopped her friend's teasing. But Kudo Shinichi, who was standing next to her, was savoring the oolong tea in his hand with an expression of surprise and satisfaction on his face. Long Yan had already begun to consider whether he should talk to him about the endorsement issue at this time.
However, Kudo Shinichi and the other two did not stay in Ryuhiko's shop for too long.
I don't know if it's because of Teruhashi Shinmi, but after she came to work part-time at Ryuhiko's store, the store that was originally deserted suddenly became lively in a very short time. Not only were the booths in the store filled with couples talking and chatting about love, but even though it was still drizzling outside, it did not dampen people's enthusiasm for takeout. Some people even consciously lined up in a sparse long queue along the awnings on the street.
The three people who didn't want to affect Long Yan's business just sat for a while and then stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, they did not forget to take the initiative to do more publicity for Long Yan.
Looking at the increasingly prosperous business of the shop, Long Yan, who had finally taken the first step, was both surprised and secretly glad that he had recruited Teruhashi Kokomi, a top-notch poster girl.
Busy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Although there were still some customers queuing at the door, Long Yan did not plan to continue operating. After tactfully persuading the customers who were still queuing to leave, he hung up a sign announcing the suspension of business.
Seeing that Teruhashi Kokomi had already helped Saito Takuma clean up the store, Long Yan stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. Be safe on your way home. This is my phone number. If it's convenient, please be sure to text me when you get home."
The fact that Ryuhiko wanted to exchange contact information with Teruhashi Kokomi doesn't mean that he really had any other thoughts about Teruhashi Kokomi as Suzuki Sonoko said.
I don’t know if you have ever had this experience, but in Long Yan’s previous life, whenever he left home, his mother would always remind him to send a text message to confirm his safety after arriving at the dormitory.
Even after he started his own business and moved out, he retained this habit.
Hearing this, Teruhashi Kokomi did not refuse, but instead wrote down Long Yan's cell phone number very seriously.
Unlike Long Yan, she didn't think anything dangerous would happen. She just subconsciously thought that Long Yan had finally come to his senses and figured out how to exchange contact information with her, so it was worth her effort in entertaining the guests today.
"Don't worry, manager. Tokyo is still very safe. Besides, my home is not far from here. It only takes three stops by subway. I will text you when I get home. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Teruhashi Shinmi, who had been working for a whole day, seemed as if nothing had happened. She greeted Ryuhiko and Saito Takuma with full energy, then pushed the door and left.
