Chapter 371: The Fall of Yukinoshita Yukino

Because of the bet with Qiu Ling Fumpei, Yukinoshita Yukino's quality of life has declined significantly recently, and even her favorite novel can only be read by Yamada Yaojing.

But even so, at least there should be no problem in gritting my teeth and making it through June to win the bet.

And during these two months, apart from the maid café Wagunaria where she worked part-time, the person who helped Yukino the most was naturally Washimiya Shiki.

The house rented to her at almost free price meant that she didn't have to worry about where to live. Although she said she didn't care, the luxurious dinner every night had become one of the few things the girl looked forward to recently.

In fact, Shiki had specifically asked if she wanted to make a lunch box for her to take to school, but Yukino refused.

Perhaps it was because of this that the girl gradually developed a feeling close to dependence towards the four seasons.

Of course, after Toyoinsai noticed this, Yukino consciously began to keep a distance from Shiki. Her behavior was so blatant that if the system hadn't prompted her, Shiki would have almost thought that her pseudonym had been exposed.

"Yukino-chan, you're not feeling well today."

In Wagunaria, Yukino, who was working part-time, was asked by her senior, the small-statured but big-hearted Hakuto Tanejima, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a nap in the employee lounge?"

Xue No looked at the other person's petite figure and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head. In the other person's puzzled look of "What? Why do you want to touch my head? I'm the senior?", she smiled faintly: "No need, Senior Tanejima, I was just a little distracted."

"That's right, the perfect and elegant head maid wouldn't be tired from such a small job!" Ya Ma, who appeared beside her at some point, said loudly. Then she said to Yukino in a flattering manner, "So, Yukino, can you help me? I accidentally knocked over the food ordered by the customer just now. I hope you can help communicate with the customer..."

Miss Yukinoshita, who can neither throw flying knives nor stop time except for her similar bust size, said coldly, "I can't do that. Please apologize to the guest yourself."

"Yes, Mr. Ya, you have to apologize for this kind of thing yourself!"

Zhongdao Baiyang also acted like a senior and warned seriously.

However, coupled with her soft and cute appearance, her serious expression not only has no deterrent effect, but instead gives people a cute feeling of a child pretending to be an adult.

"Gu, kill me..." Ya Ma said in a muffled voice.

"Is that guest an orc..." Yukino rubbed her eyebrows with a headache and complained helplessly.

"Why does Yukino know this? Have you also seen The Passion of the Princess Knight..." Ya Ma's eyes lit up and he looked at Yukino. Then he was frightened by the other's cold eyes and stammered, "No... Nothing..."

Only Tanejima Baiyang looked at the two of them puzzledly with pure eyes that had not been contaminated by strange knowledge.

Yamada muttered "Damn it, I'm going to be purified" and walked away, and Yukinoshita Yukino sighed and decided to go over to see what was going on. If Yamada messed up or the customers refused to give in, she could intervene and help.

At this time, Wagunaria's foreman, Hong Yachiyo, walked over with a grim look on his face.

"Baiyang-chan, Yukino-chan, have you seen the manager?"

"Doesn't the manager eat sweets in the office?" asked Zhongdao Baiyang curiously.

The store manager of Wagunaria is named Shirafuji Anko. She is a lazy person who always stays in the office and secretly eats the sundaes or other sweets in the store.

"I just went to check, she's not there." Yachiyo said anxiously.

"Ms. Todoroki, what happened?"

Yukinoshita Yukino keenly felt that something was not right with the other party and asked hurriedly.

"…Actually, the city hall questioned our store's business license."

Yachiyo Todoroki hesitated for a moment, but considering that both Shiragi Taneshima and Yukinoshita Yukino were excellent employees of Wagunaria, she simply told everything - if the person here was the unreliable Amagi, then she would definitely not say anything.

"Didn't the store's business license follow the normal restaurant store procedures?"

Zhongdao Baiyang asked doubtfully, "Is there any problem?"

"They said that maid cafes are not 'normal restaurants' and that they might need to obtain a lot of other certifications."

Todoroki Yachiyo said irritably.

"How can this be! Wagunaria has been in business for such a long time, and this has never happened before!"

Zhongdao Baiyang complained dissatisfiedly, and his chewy little face puffed up in indignation.

"The city hall is deliberately making things difficult for Wagunalia." Yukinoshita Yukino frowned tightly.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it because of my work here that this happened?

After all, no matter how you think about it, it's unlikely that guy would let you win the bet so easily.

"Well, I just heard about it... When I was chatting with people from other stores in the shopping street, someone said that the land here might be purchased in a unified manner and eventually used to build a large convenience store to replace the shopping street."

Yachiyo Todoroki whispered, "I heard from them that the party that wants to purchase the land seems to have already contacted the land owner, and even the preliminary image and price have been discussed."

In other words, the next step is the acquisition phase, but before that, they must find a way to evict those tenants whose lease has not yet expired, so is this what happened?

Considering that building a large supermarket can be considered a very outstanding political achievement for the city councilors, it is not difficult to understand why the city hall would be so active in encouraging them.

"Then, what will happen to Wagunalia?" Zhongdao Baiyang couldn't help but feel anxious.

"In theory, it shouldn't be a problem." A slightly mature female voice interrupted their conversation.

The three of them were startled and turned around to find that the person who spoke was the store manager Shirafuji Anko.

"Manager!" "Manager-san." "Ms. Xingzi!"

Shirafuji Anzi made a downward motion with her hand, signaling them to keep their voices down and stay calm. "I've made it clear. Wagunaria is a chain store. The head office has negotiated with the city hall. Even if a convenience store is built here, there will definitely be a place for Wagunaria inside."

"That's good..." Zhongdao Baiyang finally felt relieved. To her, Wagunalia was like her own beloved treasure. Naturally, she didn't want it to disappear so inexplicably.

"But during this period of time when the reconstruction is postponed, everyone will have to stay at home unemployed." Shirafuji Anzi continued: "Although I really want the newly built Wagunaria to maintain its original appearance, I guess by then many people will have found new jobs and will not come back."

“Why is this happening…” Zhongdao Baiyang became discouraged again upon hearing this.

"I, I, I will definitely follow Miss Anzi forever!" Yachiyo immediately took the opportunity to express her loyalty.

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Which company is planning to acquire this land and build a convenience store?"

"It seems to be a fairly new investment company," Baifuji Anzi recalled, "If I remember correctly, it should be called..."

She paused and said uncertainly, "Maple Leaf Investments, huh?"

Yukinoshita Yukino felt her heart sinking and sinking.

Chapter 372: Shopping in the mall is just a mental drain!

The words are divided into two parts.

Today is also the day that Shiki promised to date the Yamada fairy.

Originally, Shiki was planning to go out with Yamada Fairy as she told him, but Yamada Fairy still kicked him out of Washimiya Dormitory first, saying, "That won't feel like a date at all!"

Just as he arrived next to the Hachiko statue in the square in front of the station, playing with his mobile phone and complaining in his heart about the girls' strange sense of ritual, the Yamada fairy appeared.

The girl today is completely different from her usual self. Usually, when Yamada Fairy is not going out, she is always unkempt - although because of her good foundation, even if she is a little sloppy, she is still a fragrant and beautiful girl. But now, after obviously dressing up carefully, the girl gives people a different feeling all of a sudden.

Her long golden hair is no longer casually draped over her shoulders, but tied into a cute braid and rolled behind her head, making her exude the temperament of a quiet and literary girl. She is no longer wearing a flashy Lolita-style long skirt, but a very everyday outfit, a fashionable sportswear with short hot pants, black stockings and small leather boots. Because the girl herself has a petite figure, the sportswear with a waistcoat makes her look cute with sleeves.

Si Ji recognized at a glance that it was the casual clothes version of a popular character in a certain mobile game. However, because the quality of the body was very high and the material of the clothes was quite solid and did not have the cheap feeling of ordinary cosplay clothes, the final effect looked great and did not feel like cosplay at all. It could only be said that it was very suitable.

"Qiangqiang, how does Miss Fairy look today?" She came in front of Siji, turned around gently, and then asked loudly.

However, Shiki keenly noticed that the Yamada fairy was actually still a little shy, but the girl's strong personality made her pretend not to care.

"Very beautiful. It suits you very well."

So Shiki praised sincerely, "But I prefer the dress version and swimsuit version. If that doesn't work, the battle-damaged illustration is also pretty good."

"Is it okay to wear something like that in front of others?"

The girl grumbled.

Just when Shiki was about to take over and sigh, "That's such a pity," Yamada the Fairy whispered, "If you really want to see it, I can go back and put it on for you to see."

The girl slightly raised her face, and her innocent expression made Si Ji speechless for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said seriously: "You may have skipped the plot so you don't know, but the favorable plot of the dress version said that when the character wears a dress, he is actually-"

"It's vacuum-free, because the underwear will leave marks on the tight dress. Later in the story, there is a scene where the character asks the protagonist to help her take away the thin string underwear." The girl looked proud of "How can I, a light novel author, skip the plot?" "By the way, my favorite part is the scene where the protagonist takes her to walk the dog under the moon..."

Shiki looked at the Yamada Fairy with astonished eyes: Girl, your taste has become a little too strong recently.

After successfully reuniting, the two began a relatively normal date, which was basically a process of going to the mall → watching a movie → shopping.

It’s not that Shiki likes this kind of traditional and conventional date - he originally intended to take Yamada Fairy to other places, such as the beach - but Yamada Fairy said that this kind of date is more worthy of material.

Si Ji was mentally prepared to be a runner-up and help carry the bag, but in reality, that didn't happen.

Yamada Fairy's shopping in the mall means exactly what it sounds like. She is just wandering around. She doesn't go to luxury stores or clothing stores to try on things like other women do.

According to her, the things in the mall have no appeal to her. As a wealthy woman who has long been financially independent, the willful Yamada Fairy would have bought anything she wanted online a long time ago. She would not wait until a date to buy it. After all, she did not treat Shiki as an ATM.

Anyway, after shopping in the mall, the girl was confused: "Is this process really interesting? Why do I feel like I just wasted an hour of my life?"

"Even if you ask me, I don't know..." Si Ji, who was dragged here by her, spread his hands helplessly.

Fortunately, the movie-watching part that followed restored some of the feeling of the date.

Yamada Fairy originally wanted to buy tickets for a romance movie, but Shiki had seen reviews of this movie on the Internet that it was very literary, fresh and abstract, so after his failed experience shopping in the mall, he decisively stopped Yamada Fairy this time and instead bought tickets with her for a new monster movie.

That monster movie didn't have much substance, and the plot was too simple to understand without any twists and turns. It was the type where you could tell who the villain was right from the start and see the ending at a glance. However, the monster special effects were great, and the scenes of the behemoths fighting from beginning to end were quite shocking and interesting, and it was totally worth the price of the ticket.

Until leaving the cinema, Yamada Fairy was still discussing with Shiki with great interest the combat power of the monsters in the plot. He was deeply impressed by some of the shocking scenes, which could be used in the novel after being written down.

After leaving the cinema, it’s time to go shopping.

However, while shopping in the mall, the two of them had already had enough of the luxury goods counters. Bags, perfumes, and cosmetics were all meaningless things to both Shiki and Yamada Fairy.

So they simply gave up the more prosperous Ginza and went to Akihabara, where the two-dimensional culture was more abundant.

I believe that I can find some interesting gadgets here, and it won’t be just physical and mental exhaustion like shopping in the mall before.

However, seeing that Yamada Fairy seemed a little depressed after running around for the whole morning, and it was almost time, Shiki simply took her to have lunch.

Thinking that he seemed to be misunderstood by Yukinoshita Yukino yesterday, Shiki touched his chin and simply took Fairy Yamada to the Wagunaria Maid Café, planning to have a chance to talk with Yukinoshita Yukino there.

As a result, when I just arrived at Wagunaria, I found that the waiters inside seemed to have bad expressions, as if this cafe was about to go bankrupt.

After being seated by a waitress with a baby face and breasts, Shiki wanted to call Yukinoshita Yukino over, but the other party passed by several times with a dazed look on her face and did not notice Shiki's presence at all.

So Si Ji turned and called the waiter with long straight purple hair, who seemed to be the only one who didn't look so lost.

"Master Yama, what is the current situation of Wagunaria?"

Chapter 373: Integrationism will not go far

"Ah, it's a strange person."

Yamada, or rather, Aoi Yamada, looked at Si Ji and spoke in her usual flat tone.

"Who are you calling a weird person? Huh?"

Si Ji asked with a wry smile.

The girl immediately showed a frightened expression as if she was being harassed by a delinquent, and started trembling.

"Please don't scare our customers... Hey, isn't this Washimiya-kun?"

When Yachiyo Todoroki saw how frightened Yamada Aoi was, she thought she was being harassed by a strange customer, so she rushed over to rescue her. Because of her background, she always carried a katana with her, and with her kind squinty eyes, she could always give people a very strong sense of oppression, making those customers who wanted to make trouble give up.

But Shiki is a frequent visitor to Wagunaria after all. Even Yukinoshita Yukino was introduced by him to work there, so Yachiyo Todoroki naturally knows him as well.

"Sister Hong, what's the situation with Wagunaria now?"

Si Ji greeted her and asked, "Why is everyone so distracted?"

“Hey…”

Yachiyo Todoroki held her cheek, seeming to be a little embarrassed as to whether she should tell Shiki about the matter.

After all, firstly, the situation only exists in rumors, and secondly, in a sense, this can be considered a trade secret or something, and it is not appropriate to talk about it.

Seeing this, Si Ji roughly understood the other party's thoughts and did not continue to urge him. Instead, he changed the subject and talked to the other party about what new dishes Wagunaria had recently launched.

He didn't really care about what would happen in Wagunaria. He asked only out of curiosity and had no intention of intervening.

Aoi Yamada, who was standing by, changed from her pitiful appearance just now to the appearance of a naughty child who deserves a beating after having the support of Yachiyo Todoroki: "That's right, it's no use telling you what happened. The only one who can save Wagunaria now is the oil king of the Middle East!"

Shiki raised his eyebrows: It seems that this maid cafe is just short of money.

Yachiyo Todoroki knocked on Yamada Aoi's head with her hand knife: "Don't talk nonsense, Wagunaria doesn't need to be saved, it just may be closed for a while."

Shiki carefully studied Yachiyo's expression for a moment and confirmed that the other party was not forcing a smile. Although he did look a little listless and lost, there was no sadness.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with what the other party said. Wagunaria just needs to close for a period of time.

"I guess you've been complained about." Yamada Fairy said suddenly.
