A group of people traveled through a strange world, and I was the only one who was not a refugee.

Although almost half of them were people who had once asked their adult for help and were not very familiar with them.

But a symbolic gift is still necessary.

"For people who are not very close to Lord Shin, the gifts can be in a unified format and the same gifts can be purchased, but what specific gift should be given?" Kato Megumi said worriedly.

Sawamura Eriri and others on the side were also scratching their heads and thinking hard.

The maid thought for a moment and said:

"There is still a month until the New Year, so there is plenty of time to do it one by one."

"Let's discuss this first, Shiyu. I'll leave the greeting card issue to you, okay?"

"no problem."

Kasumigaoka Utaha readily agreed, as this was her strong point. She couldn't say her writing skills were very good, but she would definitely not embarrass Akita Makoto.

"Almost three hundred greeting cards, aren't those too many? I'd better come and help. Besides, Shiyu, don't you still have manuscripts to finish?" said Shinomiya Kaguya.

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled confidently: "Don't worry, it won't take much time, I can finish it by myself."

"Okay then." After hearing that, Kaguya Shinomiya no longer forced it.

Afterwards, the girls discussed what gifts to choose.

Akita Shin and Yukinoshita Yukino were working at the branch office, Yukinoshita Haruno was resting in the bedroom, and Yuki's mother was out.

Even so, there are still eleven people in the family, and we can always work out a suitable plan after discussion.

Sakurajima Mai hesitated for a moment and suggested:

"For families like the Kujo family who have a good relationship with Master Shin and have frequent contacts with him, it would be better for us to wait for Master Shin to come back and ask for his opinion, so that we don't make inconsiderate decisions."

"As for the others, we can simply follow the gift list they sent us and choose gifts of similar or similar quality to send back to them."

"I agree. It won't be disrespectful if we do that."

Hikigaya Komachi thought it was a good idea and was the first to agree.

"I also think Mai's idea is great." Nakano Nino also said.

Then it was Miku Nakano's turn, who only said the two words "agree".

The reactions of Yumiko Miura and others were very subtle.

"what happened?"

Seeing that their expressions and eyes were more or less strange, Sakurajima Mai and the others were very confused.

No matter how you think about it, this method should be fine.

"Then it's decided. It just so happens that my family opened a medicine store, which can save a lot of money and let everyone buy a few more new clothes."

The maid said this with a normal expression, and the others echoed her.

Among them, there was someone who had thought of this method before Sakurajima Mai.

It was just because of Kato Megumi’s unintentional mistake before... I had seen the effects of those supplements.

This leads to the subconscious exclusion of sending supplements as an option.

Seeing that everyone agreed with Sakurajima Mai's method, Hayasaka Ai asked everyone to form groups and then arranged the tasks that each group needed to complete.

267. Eiri Riri and Komachi, foot control

Eriri Sawamura and Komachi Hikigaya were assigned to buy New Year's goods.

Things like New Year's wishes, New Year's decorations, Spring Festival couplets, and some essential food.

Buying these things is not very troublesome.

No matter where you are in the outer city, you can find a grocery store and buy all the goods. If you buy more, they should be able to deliver to your home.

Seeing that Sawamura Eriri showed no intention of stopping, Hikigaya Komachi asked in confusion: "Sister Eriri, where are we going to buy New Year's goods?"

"Go to the third out-of-city division."

"Hey...why did you have to run so far?"

"Well, it doesn't matter where we buy it. The price shouldn't be much more expensive or cheaper. We might as well buy it in the area managed by Master Zhen. It can also be considered as a contribution to promoting business there."

Hikigaya Komachi thought about it and felt it made sense, so she immediately used the Kwakwa attack.

"Eri-sister is thoughtful" and "very smart" are all useless.

Say less.

He almost praised her toes as well.

This made Eriri Sawamura feel embarrassed and a little proud.

When passing by the third out-of-city branch, the two hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not go in.

To their surprise, they saw many familiar faces here that they hadn't seen for a long time.

Akagi's monthly fee group ⑥⑨④93⑥①3⑤ "Jiuxu-san..."

The girl whose name was called by Sawamura Eriri paused, gave her an apologetic smile, then lowered her head and hurried away.

Watching the old friend walk away, Eriri Sawamura slowly lowered her raised hand.

The same thing happened to Hikigaya Komachi.

Former classmates or friends clearly recognized themselves but acted very coldly, and one person even had obvious scars on his body.

Either they turned a deaf ear to the cries, or they looked complicated and numb...

Both Sawamura Eriri and Hikigaya Komachi realized one thing deeply after seeing a master scolding a servant.

Not all time travelers are lucky enough to be taken in by extraordinary people as servants or maids.

If the host family is an ordinary person, they might take them in just to have an extra laborer to do groceries at home.

Or maybe he was attracted by the woman's beauty.

Regardless of the former or the latter, if the owner is not a supernatural being, the situation of most people is destined not to be very good.

For men, perhaps having a better meal every time is a luxury.

Girls...There is basically a hostess in every family.

No matter how favored a maid is, she has no chance of being promoted to a higher position, and will be neglected when she grows old and loses her looks.

Both the male and female masters are citizens. In a family, the male master does not always have the final say. Kyoto has relevant laws and regulations in this regard.

Eriri Sawamura sighed, thinking that she couldn't change anything and that what she should think about was living a good life in the present.

"Fortunately, the real adults are very nice to us."

After saying this in her heart, she looked at Hikigaya Komachi who was feeling a little down and comforted her:

"Komachi, don't be sad. Maybe after a while, when everyone's life gets better, they won't ignore us anymore."

"Ah."

Hikigaya Komachi nodded but said nothing.

Although she was not very smart, she was not stupid and knew that these were just words of comfort.

"Sister Eriri, why don't we just buy some fireworks and take them back?"

"Hey... there are a lot of plants in the yard. If the adults are not at home, what if they catch fire?"

"We are now spiritualists."

"Yes!"

…………

In the afternoon, Akita really couldn't sit still anymore.

A total of three extraordinary police officers died on the front line, and the rest were injured.

The more serious ones include Hikigaya Hachiman who is lying in the hospital.

There were also many casualties among ordinary police officers, so there were many new faces in the Third Out-of-City Police Station.

Whether it is the first batch of police officers or the second batch of police officers, both sides need time to get used to each other. It is impossible for them to be open-hearted from the beginning and treat each other as comrades who can be trusted to support them.

This resulted in a heavy atmosphere within the police station.

Akita really didn't like this atmosphere, so he attached a wisp of mental power to several police officers and prepared to go out and patrol the area before leaving get off work early.

As for why we don’t use telepathy on police officers who are out on duty, so as to keep track of everyone’s movements and situations?

It’s not that you can’t, but that you don’t need to.

Each branch director is in charge of an area, which is neither small nor big.

Although catastrophic-level weirdness occasionally occurs in safe zones, it accounts for less than one percent of all weirdness-related cases.

When something big happens or there is a big commotion, the police officers from the relevant branch will rush to the scene as soon as possible.

The extraordinary people around may also be able to help.

If it was a small matter, the branch chief wouldn't have to take any action at all.

In other words, if you use mindfulness every day and watch countless scenes, don't think about other things.

He might as well just sit on the branch director's throne and pass away, bringing benefits to the people.

Akita really thought that he was not that aware yet.

After one hour.

"My Lord, you got off work so early today."

When she saw Akita Shin come in, Hikigaya Komachi was confused at first, and then wondered if she had been working for a long time.

"Nothing was happening at the precinct, so I came back."

Akita smiled, ruffled her hair, and glanced around: "Where are the others?"

"Sister Xiaoai and the others have gone shopping for New Year's goods. Sister Shiyu is in charge of greeting cards. She said she went to buy some, but she hasn't come back yet."

"So you're the only one at home now, Komachi?"

"No, Eriri-sister is here too. She should be changing the newly bought paintings on the second floor now."

"I'm responsible for shoveling the snow. Otherwise, if the temperature drops any lower, it will freeze and become terrible." Hikigaya Komachi shook the snow shovel in her hand.

In fact, spreading salt can also prevent the snow from freezing, but this is at home, not on the road, unless you can accept a bare yard.

Akita Shin chatted with her for a while and just as he suggested that she take a rest while he used his mental power to clear the snow, he was rejected.

Hikigaya Komachi's reason was: "If that's the case, then everyone

There is nothing to do, my Lord, you just need to have a good rest when you go home."

In response to this, Akita Shin smiled silently, it seemed to make sense.

He didn't force it. After entering the house, he went back to the bedroom, changed his clothes, cleaned up briefly, and went straight to the second floor.

As soon as I went up the stairs, I heard a series of "dong dong" sounds coming from above.

He stepped lightly.

Soon the following scene appeared.

In front of the wall leading from the second floor to the third floor, a girl with blond twin ponytails was standing on a stool.

She held the picture frame in one hand and held the hammer in the other, hammering the nail that had been partially driven in.

I don’t know if it was because the heating was too strong, but she was only wearing a loose home dress, the hem of which didn’t even cover half of her thighs.

Although there was no sunlight at this time, her smooth and delicate skin looked fair and flawless.

The pair of small and delicate jade feet were raised, so white and dazzling that they made people feel moved.

Akita Shin suddenly frowned, feeling something was wrong.

Am I really a foot fetishist?
