"..." Diao Yue Liyin was silent for a moment as she watched, "It's not going to be this far."

"Yes, I understand. Please leave it to me."

Shi answered as she did so, secretly resolving to herself that as a perfect maid agent, she would definitely exceed her mission.

Let Xia Lai's teacher indulge in her charm!

Leave application note 2023.12.1

I updated 12,000 words yesterday, but my inspiration has dried up. I'll take a day off to rest and make up for it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Chapter 9: First date with Serika?

On a weekday morning, the number of pedestrians on this street, which is neither remote nor busy, is not sparse, but it is not numerous either.

So, I spotted the girl who was standing on the street with whom I had agreed to meet at a glance.

As usual, she was wearing a neat and tidy school uniform, and her long black hair was tied into two ponytails with a blue ribbon.

The rose-red animal eyes looked at the empty space beneath its feet with boredom, the cat ears on its head trembled from time to time, and its expression was impatient yet expectant, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

I quickly checked the time and chat history, and confirmed that there was still some time before the agreed time. I breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward with a smile:

"Qingxiang, good morning..."

"Ah! It's too late! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Before I could finish my greeting, Qinxiang raised her head and glared at me, speaking to me in a very rude manner.

If I hadn't known Qinxiang's tsundere personality and hadn't caught the flash of surprise on her face before she spoke, I might have thought she was angry with me.

Then I mistakenly thought that there was a bug in the card and that Serika actually hated me, so I consciously stayed away from Serika, leaving the tsundere black cat with a lifelong regret...

My inner thoughts were expanding in the direction of evil taste, but on the surface I kept smiling:

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, then her tone softened: "I know, I'm glad to know."

"As atonement, then."

I followed what I saw on TV, placed my right hand on my chest, put my left hand behind my back, bowed slightly, and gave the girl a deacon’s salute:

"Please allow me to stay with you during the day, my princess."

As for the evening, I have to fulfill my appointment with the game development department.

Qinxiang's fair face quickly turned red. She looked around in panic, feeling extremely embarrassed by the glances from passers-by. She directly straightened my posture with her hands:

"Are you an idiot? What's with the Princess? And don't do such weird things on the street!"

From this we can see that Serika is a girl who has a stronger sense of shame than ordinary people, so she is particularly fun to tease.

As for me?

After going through the hellish trial of being intimate with two students in public at a festival venue with dozens of times more people, I realized -

From the moment I decided to embark on the path of playing with countless boats, my reputation and my reputation had long ceased to exist.

Why should we care about something that doesn't exist?

Moreover, if I create a lustful and indecent persona for myself, those who have ulterior motives but are paying attention to me will surely think that I have shortcomings and will take me lightly.

Maybe there will be some bad students who will mistake me for a sex-crazed ghost who can't walk when seeing a beautiful girl, and take the initiative to throw themselves at me. Then I will swallow the sugar and throw the bullet back, or they will find out my true face as a gentleman and then be influenced by my noble character...

This is called self-pollution.

"I say, you know why I called you here today, right?"

Qinxiang asked me speechlessly.

I answered confidently: "Of course, this is my first date with Qinxiang that is worth remembering!"

"No way!"

Qin Xiang couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "Why do you think this is a date? I just asked you to come out and help me with the work, okay?"

I looked at the anxious girl in surprise: "Yeah, it's work and dating in one, there's no conflict."

“Eh? Is there such a saying?”

"No, I made it up."

Hearing this, Qinxiang fell silent, her face darkened, her eyes narrowed, and her expression became a little scary: "Hey, you are not kidding me."

"Of course not," I naturally would not be scared, and I denied it with a smile, "I thought that Serika had found a way to have the best of both worlds, and it was also quite Serika's style."

"What's the best of both worlds?"

"You can see me while you work."

Last week, when I met Qinxiang, who works as a customer service representative, online, I heard her say that she couldn't even see the person she liked because she was too busy with her part-time job.

Apparently, Serika was also impressed by that incident.

The next moment, she realized what was happening, and her face turned red again. She quickly denied it:

"That's not the case!"

"Eh……"

I made a disappointed expression: "Serika doesn't want to see me?"

“Huh? Of course it’s not what you said…Ahhh! Really, if you say something like that again, I’ll ignore you!”

Qinxiang said to me coquettishly, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

It didn't take much effort to appease her by saying that I still had work to do.

"Huh... Anyway, let's do this without further delay."

Qinxiang bent down, took out a stack of papers from the bag at her feet that had attracted my attention for a long time and was roughly estimated to be more than one meter high, and handed it to me:

"this is for you."

Looking at the colorful patterns printed on the paper, I raised my eyebrows:

"Is today's part-time job handing out flyers?"

"That's right. Just leave this in mailboxes nearby or give it to passersby. It's one yen per piece! So this is..."

"Wait a minute," I interrupted in surprise, "one yen?"

Qin Xiang nodded: "Yes. Of course, there is also the minimum hourly wage. Although the total amount is indeed not high, it is much safer than the last part-time job, right? Ah, it makes me angry when I think about accidentally becoming an accomplice to Caesar's crime!"

He looks like he's still upset.

I consoled her, "You've already said you didn't know anything about it, haven't you? The principal offender has been arrested, and compensation for the victim is in progress. Don't think about it anymore."

Qin Xiang took a deep breath and smiled. "That's right. The last time was just an unpleasant coincidence. I don't think I'll be used by a criminal organization a second time."

...I think it's hard to say considering that Serika works as a daily job and has a simple personality that is easily deceived.

"Okay, no more small talk." Qinxiang returned to the topic at hand. "Today's workload is particularly large, so we need to find someone to help. If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to finish it."

"Well, we just need to send these out, right?"

I looked at the number of flyers and felt a little worried. Even if there were two of us, it would take us a while to get busy.

However, Qin Xiang was surprised and said, "What are you talking about... After all, I asked you to come here, how could I trouble you to do something too hard. Teacher, you just need to assist me here."

Qin Xiang paused and explained in detail: "Please wait here for me. When I come back from handing out flyers, you hand me another stack of flyers and I'll hand them out again. This goes on and on. How about it? It's simple, right?"

“It’s simple indeed.”

It even feels so simple that it wouldn't take much more time even without my help.

"Well! I'll give you half of my daily salary! Come on!"

Moreover, Qinxiang, who undertakes most of the work, actually wants to give me half of the salary?

Although it’s not much for me.

I can only say that in this regard, Qinxiang is also very serious.

In my opinion, the students of Abydos have one common trait: stubbornness.

Rather, students who are not stubborn should have transferred to other schools without the pressure of debt, the harsh environment, and the responsibility of revitalization.

So, I didn't raise any objections and accepted Qinxiang's proposal.

"Very good! Let's get started! Please give me 500 first!"

Once she gets into work mode, Qinxiang seems to be more decisive than usual.

Just as I lowered my head and began to roughly count the number of advertisements, a shy voice suddenly came out:

"Regarding the first date... since it is something worth remembering, I hope to do it when I have more free time and in a place with a better atmosphere... so..."

Knowing that Qinxiang chose to say it at this moment, she must be very shy, so I tactfully didn't look up, but I could completely imagine how adorable Qinxiang's expression was at that moment.

The tsundere girl, as if begging, slightly revealed her feelings to me:

"Please don't count this time, okay?"

What a youthful, sweet and sour feeling this is.

"Ah."

I just responded quietly and handed her the sorted flyers.

Then I raised my head and saw that Qinxiang had turned her back.

Only the red tips of her ears gave us a glimpse into her mood.

"Thank you, I'm leaving!"

Qinxiang was quite flustered and ran away in a hurry.

It seems that they have set their sights on other neighborhoods, and judging by the market share, it will take a while for them to come back.

So I counted out two more stacks of flyers from the sack.

One stack was naturally prepared to be given to Qinxiang later, and the other stack...

Anyway, I'll be doing nothing until Qinxiang comes back.

I would feel guilty if I really just stayed where I was and watched my cherished students busying themselves.

At least I have to help Serika finish her work before I go to the millennium, right?

So, I also started distributing flyers.

Since I can't walk far, I mainly send them to passers-by. Without the stable channel of email, the efficiency is relatively low.

But even so, it would be enough if I could reduce some of Qinxiang's burden and do my part.

"Hello, please take a look at this."

I handed the flyer to a passerby, and although he took it, he just glanced at it, walked a few steps, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can next to him.

Maybe it’s because I look good, the success rate of my distribution is much higher than I thought, and I rarely fail. But even if I succeed, it doesn’t mean that others will take the ad seriously.

If you want to quickly dispose of a large number of flyers, you can just discard some of them. I'm sure someone would do this while handing out flyers.

However, such crooked practices are a deception to my employer and a disrespect to Qinxiang's efforts. I disdain to do such things.

Just when I had sent out about a hundred cards, Qinxiang came running back at a speed beyond my imagination.

I guess she relied on the physical fitness of a Kivotos student, running the whole time, stuffing flyers into mailboxes door to door, and only slowing down when she met pedestrians, so that she could be so many times more efficient than me and come back so early.

Fortunately, I caught a glimpse of Qinxiang's figure out of the corner of my eye and returned to my original position in time.

Otherwise, with Qinxiang's persistent personality, she would definitely force me not to continue, and she might even feel guilty about it.

"Okay, I'm back! Next stack!"

"Qingxiang, aren't you trying too hard? Do you want to slow down a bit?"

I asked with concern as I handed her the flyer.
