What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

"This isn't a game, how come there are levels..."

The Yamada fairy muttered, and then she held her face and said intoxicatedly: "But Ichiri-chan is really cute. The feeling of rubbing her hands is like a big puppy."

"Although she looked scared the whole time when you rubbed her." Si Ji added.

"Why do you always pour cold water on me? Whose side are you on?" Yamada Fairy said with dissatisfaction, puffing up his cheeks.

"The legal side."

"Officer Washimiya, help! My landlord is committing mental violence against me!" The blonde girl immediately began to make a false police report in a serious manner.

"Sorry, we don't get involved in civil disputes." Si Ji answered in the same serious tone.

"As a police officer, this is so irresponsible! Fire him, immediately!" the girl said viciously.

Seeing that Shiki didn't respond, she continued to ask, "After Goto Ichiri is ruled out as a suspect, there are only four people left, right?"

Usami Mizuki, Kotori Yurikka, Shiina Mashiro, and Sawamura Spencer Eri.

"There are three actually. Usami Mizuki's findings show that she just signed up for a sketching class last year, and currently seems to only be able to draw the appearance of fruit."

Shiki then continued, "Although sketching skills and comic skills cannot be generalized, if the sketching is only at that level, I don't think you are likely to be impressed by the other person's painting skills."

"Well, that's true...by the way, how come you can even investigate something like this?" Yamada Fairy looked at Shiki in confusion.

The latter said calmly: "Commercial secrets."

Yamada Fairy thought for a moment, then showed a surprised expression.

"Could it be that..."

Just when Shiki wanted to hear her opinion, the girl said with certainty, "Are you the best friend in the movie Butter who provides the protagonist with information about the heroine?"

four seasons:?

The evaluation is played with butter.

Perhaps sensing that Shiki was not going to dwell on this issue any further, Yamada Fairy sympathetically moved the topic forward: "Then what about Takanashi Rikka?"

"About this one... I'm sorry, I don't actually have much information about her."

Shiki stroked his chin and said, "It is said that he is a very eccentric child. He doesn't fit in very well with others and always does things that seem strange to others."

"Oh, isn't she most likely Kashiwagi Eri-sensei?"

Yamada Fairy immediately perked up: "Geniuses always have some quirks!"

"Your words are somehow quite convincing..."

Four Seasons complained.

For example, Quanguo Codeword and the like.

He then added: "In addition, it is said that Takanashi Rikka has no problems with her eyes, but she often wears an eye patch with only one eye exposed."

"It must be because it's easier for an artist to frame with a single-lens reflex camera! You're worthy of being Kashiwagi Eri-sensei!"

"She always talks about the evil king's true eyes and stuff like that." Shiki said, "I think maybe she just has a chuunibyou?"

"It must be a setting for a new manga. I bet 5 yen that it's hypnotic!"

Washimiya Shiki: "..."

Speaking of which, Yamada Fairy can be quite childish sometimes. Could it be that they are birds of a feather in some sense?

Chapter 41: Wasting Time

Originally, Yamada Fairy meant to replicate Goto Ichiri's method and continue pretending to be a member of the student council and go directly to Kotori's house to investigate to see if the other party was Kashiwagi Eri.

In the end, the two of them came back empty-handed - it was spring break, but there was no one at the Kotori family.

They sat in Saria, across the street from where they could see the entrance to the other party's apartment building, for five hours, waiting for the other party to appear, but they still couldn't wait for the other party until the sunset covered the sky.

After sitting for half a day, he was tired. He looked at the sunset outside the window with an empty expression: "Is this what it feels like to waste time? Why is it not as pleasant as I thought at the beginning..."

Because he was so busy in the past two years that he had no time to rest. Every day, he had to squeeze out time to coordinate the work of two vests like squeezing a sponge. His shifts were packed and he had to count down even to go to the toilet. So Si Ji, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, wanted to give up and take a year off. It might be that the living habits of those two years were engraved in his DNA. In short, he wasted half a day and did nothing, which made him feel inexplicably guilty.

Unlike Shiki, who was beginning to become confused because he had wasted half a day, Yamada Fairy looked quite relaxed, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of free-spirited life.

"You care about this kind of thing. Assistant-kun sometimes unexpectedly acts like an old man."

The blonde girl said calmly, "Do you still want to eat these fries? If not, I will exchange the fruits of the deciduous shrub Zanthoxylum that is used as a side dish for the hamburger meat with you."

"You just don't want to eat green peppers."

"No, I want some fries."

"Where are you from, Seagull?"

"There are many ways to make green peppers delicious, why do the green peppers in this kind of store always taste so bad~" The girl held French fries in her mouth and mumbled incoherently: "Ah, please help me get some ketchup."

"You do this little thing yourself."

Although Shiki complained like this, he still picked up another French fry and used it as a spoon. He dipped a large amount of ketchup in it and smeared it on the French fry in the girl's mouth.

Then the blonde girl ate the French fries bit by bit like a hamster chewing sunflower seeds, which was subtly cute.

"I feel like I don't need to have dinner today." After finishing his French fries, Yamada Fairy lamented.

"After all, I've been eating here for five hours..."

Shiki also felt a little regretful. Although it was just a casual act when dealing with the Shinomiya family, he should have made the information about the Kotori family clearer if he had known earlier, so as to avoid such a mess like today.

In fact, in this kind of family restaurant, you can usually sit in the store for an entire afternoon as long as you order a drink and a set meal. Many students who have more pocket money will choose to hold study sessions here rather than in the library where they will be punished by the administrator if they speak a little louder.

However, both Shiki and Yamada Fairy had never been to this kind of store in the past, so it was quite fresh for them to come here occasionally. They also ordered a little too much. As a result, they spent the past five hours trying to undo the sins they had committed.

"It seems like today is not going to work." Si Ji sighed, "Let's retreat first. I'll investigate the situation here and come back when I have time."

"Oh wow, I wasted so much time but did nothing. I feel a little unwilling..."

Even though he complained like this, the Yamada Fairy did not continue to be stubborn.

In the girl's view, if it was just her, it would be fine, even if she had to wait until dark or even late at night, but Si Ji was dragged into this by her, and it was already very, very good that he could accompany her for such a long time, at least he should not be made too embarrassed.

Si Ji came to the front desk and took out his wallet to pay the bill, but was told by the clerk that the money for their table had already been paid.

He looked at the Yamada Fairy. The blonde girl, who had already paid the bill secretly, seemed to have suddenly developed an interest in the potted plants at the door of the store. She was concentrating on studying the crudely made white rose inside.

Si Ji put away his wallet helplessly: "What are you looking at?"

"This is clearly made to look like a rose, but the leaves look like roses~" the girl said innocently.

"It's a hybrid breed." Si Ji said confidently.

"..."

No, this is just a plastic flower. The girl rolled her eyes at the boy who was talking nonsense seriously, and then followed Siji who left Saria.

"What do you want to eat tomorrow night?" The young man asked casually, holding the back of his head with his hands and looking at the orange sky.

"Assistant, don't you think it's too early to ask this question?" Fairy Yamada rubbed his belly, feeling a little reluctant to talk about this.

"It takes a long time to prepare the ingredients for many dishes. If you're making pastries, you have to start a day in advance so that the dough can fully ferment." Si Ji smiled and said, "I have to prepare. I said I'd provide dinner, but you didn't make it once during the few days you've been here, so I plan to be more serious."

"In that case," the girl thought for a moment and replied, "Then let's make the assistant's most proud dish!"

"Then you have to be mentally prepared." Si Ji said seriously: "Be careful not to swallow your tongue."

"Well, I'll be looking forward to it then!"

After returning to Washimiya Dormitory, Shiki checked the two vests' cell phones in the inventory again and confirmed the messages.

There was nothing special about Natsume Makuru-ryu. There were just a few invitations to variety shows and seminars, but most of them were dispensable types, and it seemed that the ratings were not very high. I didn't think I would gain many influence points by going, so I only kept one or two more famous ones and turned down the rest.

There was more information from Qiu Ling and Wen Ping, but most of it was from his assistants reporting to him that the joint encirclement and suppression of the Sigong family was going smoothly.

Si Ji activated his maximum-level business skills and began to integrate the information sent by assistants from different departments and branches. He compared them from multiple aspects and quickly determined which side was working seriously and which side was just slacking off. He then issued a series of follow-up plans and, by the way, fired those guys who were slacking off.

After finishing all this, he took out the manuscript of "That Snow" and redrawn several pages of storyboards that he was not satisfied with. After giving them to Heaven's Gate for further refinement, he washed up and went to bed.

The next day, not long after Si Ji got up and was preparing ingredients for dinner, he heard a knock on the door.

"That guy won't be eager to come over now, right?"

Shiki reluctantly came to the entrance and opened the door, only to find that the person at the door was not Yamada the Fairy, but a tall young man wearing a black suit and sunglasses, who looked like an Italian mafia.

Chapter 42 Editor, Attack

"who are you?"

Looking at the young man at the door, Si Ji frowned slightly and asked vigilantly.

To be fair, the other person's appearance did not look ferocious, and even with sunglasses on, he looked quite handsome.

Coupled with the long golden hair and slender figure, one will subconsciously think of Legolas, the elf prince in "The Lord of the Rings".

Just standing there, you can feel a sense of transcendence.

Wait, blonde?

Before Si Ji could come to his senses and think of anything, the other party's action interrupted his thoughts.

He was seen bending slightly and bowing very skillfully, while handing out a business card. His professionalism completely destroyed the otherworldly temperament of the elf.

"My name is Chris Yamada, and I'm the editor-in-chief of FULLDRIVE Library, specializing in Yamada Fairy Sensei."

Unlike his European and American appearance, his behavior is very much like that of a Japanese office worker.

Si Ji took the business card, took a look at it, and subconsciously put it in his pocket. At the same time, he was inexplicably concerned about the other party's name.

Come to think of it, when I looked at the school list before, there was a name like 'Sawamura Eriri'. Is this kind of Chinese-Western combination of names very popular now?

Come to think of it, Yamada...is it just a coincidence?

At this time, the other party continued, "Excuse me, Teacher Yamada Fairy has rented a house here, right?"

"That's exactly what's happening..." Si Ji nodded, his thoughts interrupted again.

"Then could you please take me to her place?" the other party asked respectfully.

Although it was a bit strange why he didn't just ask for the house number and go there himself, there was nothing wrong with this request, and Si Ji didn't feel any malice from the other party, so he still took him to the outside of the fairy's house.

Shiki knocked on the door and said, "Teacher Yamada, you have a guest."

After a while, there was movement in the house. As the door opened, Yamada Fairy's voice, which was different from usual, came: "What guest..."

Judging from her voice, the girl seemed to have just woken up and was still in a daze.

The unsuspecting Yamada Fairy yawned as she opened the door. The moment she saw Yamada Chris standing next to Shiki, she immediately woke up, shivered like a cat in a stress response, and quickly closed the door.

But Chris Yamada had obviously guessed her reaction, and he stuffed his hard-soled leather shoes into the gap in the door faster than she did, easily preventing the other party from closing the door.

"He actually ran to a place like this just to avoid being asked to submit his manuscripts. Should I say that he is as strong as ever, or that he is so brave that he is not afraid of death..."

The other party grabbed the thin shoulders of the girl who gave up the door and wanted to escape. His face was completely devoid of the kind and humble office worker look he had shown when facing Shiki just now. He spoke with a fierce momentum as if he wanted to crush the Yamada fairy to death.

"I didn't come here because I was afraid of being urged to submit my manuscripts!" Yamada Fairy protested fiercely. She added in a very low voice, "Although the small dark room for submitting manuscripts is indeed scary," and then continued passionately, "All this is for Teacher Kashiwagi Eri - ah, it hurts, it hurts..."

Apparently her editor-in-chief was too lazy to pay attention to her excuses. He interrupted the girl's argument with his hand: "Your credit is already 0. Please pack up immediately and come back to the hotel where I am working on my manuscript. The agency has already booked a room for you."

At this point, Si Ji did not continue to watch the show, but just grabbed the editor's wrist and used some skill to push it off the goblin's shoulder.

"Although I understand that this is Mr. Yamada's job, the fairy is my tenant after all. Please be a little flexible here."

Si Ji said cheerfully with a business-like smile on his face.

Chris Yamada struggled instinctively, but found that Shiki, who was a lot shorter than him, had a very strong grip and he couldn't break free from his hand.

He was silent for a moment, then asked Shiki, who was obviously covering for Yamada Fairy, "Excuse me, what is the relationship between the landlord and my sister?"

"Didn't you say it was the landlord... uh, sister?" Si Ji finally came to his senses and let go of the other person's hand.

So the blonde hair and last name are not coincidences? But the face shapes are completely different. Yamada Chris has a hard face with sharp edges and corners, which is more like that of European and American people, while the fairy has a slightly rounded face that feels soft to the touch.

"He is my brother, but recently he has become the library's lackey, the minion of the manuscript urger! He always wants to catch me to rush the manuscript!" Yamada Fairy immediately raised his hands and added seriously: "Obviously, he was not like that before!"

"That's because you always submitted your manuscripts on time."

Chris Yamada sighed, flexed his wrist, secretly glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Shiki, and then said seriously: "Anyway, if you still want to publish your latest volume this month, the deadline is imminent."

The Yamada Fairy, who had just happily rebuked his brother for becoming a puppet of darkness and a vicious minion, suddenly deflated like a deflated ball: "I, I will write as soon as possible... No, I will summon the finished manuscript to the world!"

Chris Yamada remained silent and gave her a death stare that showed no trust.
