Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Page 139

But I’m still afraid of bumping into passers-by along the way, and then I’ll probably be on the news, so I should be a low-key handsome man.

Even if he is Superman, he still has to take the elevator when he should take the ladder.

"Hmm? Hmm?! Am I seeing things?! Hey! Am I still dreaming and haven't woken up yet?!"

Kiyono Yuri rubbed her eyes repeatedly.

The eye makeup is about to be smudged.

On this bright morning, Kiyono Yuri came to take care of the convenience store affairs as usual.

She has been wearing simple clothes these days, a white tight T-shirt with an English logo, which highlights her proud figure.

She was lazily wearing a sun-protective jacket. I don't know if it worked, but it made this young woman with a healthy, not-too-fair complexion look more unkempt and wild.

At this moment, she looked with some surprise and disbelief at the boy behind the cashier counter who had already changed into a staff uniform.

It was as if he was not sure whether what he saw was real or a dream.

Why did he come back to work without even saying hello? Wasn't he the store manager? How come he didn't know about this?!

Oreki Xian calmly counted the change, just like he did in the past, and he was meticulous in handing over the work, otherwise he would be the one deducted money. The last thing a man should do is to be taken advantage of and act as a bootlicker, this is one of the few bottom line principles of Oreki Xian.

"I have already handed over the succession to Aunt Fujii, didn't you know?"

Kiyono Yuri looked at the boy in shock.

"I don't know! No one told me. Wait, am I still the store manager? Let me check the business license to see if it's in your name."

Oreki Gen looked at this young woman with amusement. She was always acting weird. She was obviously not a little girl anymore, but she always seemed childish and eccentric.

"Don't be funny, Mr. Manager. All you need to know is that I'm back to work today. There should still be a place for me, right?"

Kiyono Yuri smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Of course there are positions~ But it depends on your performance. You should know that all positions in this store are very popular~"

"Forget it, what I hate most is you fighting with me, I'd better find another place."

"Hey hey hey! How come you can't take a joke? You come and go as you please, and I can't have any opinion on it?"

Oreki Gen said with a smile.

"How can I just come and go as I please? At least I told you in advance when I was leaving. But today I felt a little rushed, mainly because I had nothing to do and was a little bored."

Of course, the most important reason is that he has very little money left in his pocket. Thinking about the start of school, the boy who doesn't want to live on dirt has to make use of his summer vacation time.

Kiyono Yuri nodded slightly.

“It’s rare to find someone who loves work so hard… Is Oreki-kun a natural office worker?”

"You're overthinking. My current efforts are to stop being a social slave in the future."

"Wow, you're really arrogant. But you just came back from your hometown, right?"

Oreki nodded: "Yeah, I came back yesterday."

Qingno Yuri looked at the handsome face of the boy, thought of something, and her expression became a little embarrassed.

"Um...how are you doing back home?"

Oreki Gen didn't seem to notice the other person's change of mood and spoke casually.

"It's okay. It's just like that in my hometown. I felt nostalgic for a day or two, but after a few days I got a little bored."

"Oh... I thought you would stay until school starts..."

The woman said this, but she was observing the other person's expression. Didn't he say that he had met that woman...didn't he say that he had told him about his relationship with that woman? Why didn't he seem to be curious at all?

Could it be that for the other party, these things are not something worth being curious about at all?

Come to think of it, it seemed so. After all, it was just a place to work, and there was nothing special about this convenience store. What's more, I was the store manager, and he was just a part-time high school student.

Oreki Gen shook his head, and finally, despite the other party's interference, he counted the change without any mistakes.

"That's not necessary. After all, we have to pay rent here. If we stay one day less, we'll feel like we've suffered a great loss. I can't stand being at a disadvantage."

Kiyono Yuri gave an unnatural smile.

"That's true... hehe..."

Oreki Xian looked at the other person strangely.

"Manager, you have a strange expression... do you have something to say?"

Qingye Yuri immediately shifted her gaze: "No, no..."

The boy frowned and looked suspicious: "Are you planning to deduct my salary?"

"Why would I deduct your salary if it's nothing? Even though I'm a capitalist, I'm not so black-hearted as to do that."

Oreki Gen waved his hands unhappily.

"With your scale, you are considered a capitalist? There is no threshold for being a capitalist."

Kiyono Yuri glared at the boy fiercely.

"A dog doesn't mind a poor home!"

"Okay, okay, I don't mind."

"Hmph~~~By the way, did you... ever meet any... strange, special people in your hometown?"

Kiyono Yuri probed cautiously.

Although he still didn't want others to know about his troubles, he couldn't help but want to ask when he saw the other person's nonchalant expression.

However, he didn't expect that Oreki Gen would look directly at Kiyono Yuri.

"Hmm? Are you talking about your sister?"

Qingye Yuri was stunned, a little unprepared. How could the other party not pretend or ask a question or two in return?

So direct?

Straighter than a straight ball!

"Well, why did you ask so directly..."

Oreki Gen said calmly, "You have been squirming here like a maggot. Don't you just want to ask about this? And since she has told me, there is no direct or indirect way, right? Shouldn't you know about this matter?"

"I don't want to know! That woman has nothing to do with me, and she's not my sister."

Qingno Yuri blushed and immediately denied it.

Oreki Gen nodded.

"Then why are you asking me this?"

Qingye Yuri felt herself sweating and inexplicably hot. She knew that this was caused by her guilty conscience.

"No, nothing. It's just that the woman is quite strange. I was afraid she would say something inexplicable to you... She didn't say anything to you, did she?"

"What are you referring to?"

"What aspects? Are there so many?"

"I guess so. I talked about your things, and also talked about some things about you."

Oreki strings are very bland, as if they are just simple clues, nothing important at all.

Qing Ye Lily immediately felt ashamed, a naked feeling as if all her hidden secrets were exposed, especially in front of this younger brother...

“Damn it... Why does she say everything...” Then he looked at the boy in front of him nervously.

"So...what did you say about me?"

Oreki Gen thought about it for a moment.

"It seems like there are a lot of things... from your childhood to your adulthood..."

"So much!"

"Don't worry, of course I didn't tell you how old you will be when you wet the bed and when you can be weaned."

"Who said these things?!"

The young woman blushed.

Oreki Gen smiled, his temperament as brilliant as ever.

"Don't worry, I will just listen to those things, but I won't tell anyone, let alone make fun of you. After all, this is your family matter, and as an outsider, I won't casually express any opinions or views, or do anything on my own initiative."

Hearing Oreki Genji say this, I looked at his relieved eyes.

Kiyono Yuri breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, this boy is special, more mature and more reassuring than I thought.

But can this kind of maturity and calmness be regarded as a kind of indifference to these things? Doesn't it mean that what happens to him...isn't that important to him?

and many more.

Why do you think about these things?

It's so boring, Qingye Yuri, aren't you a bitch?

The woman scratched her head in annoyance.

"Okay... Just know it. Next time she comes to you, just ignore her. She can't hold back any good shit."

"understood."

Oreki Gen nodded.

Looking at the woman holding her cell phone, she walked into the lounge at the back with some annoyance.

He smiled and shrugged.

Indeed, these things have little to do with me, so there is no need to show off my sympathy, and I don’t have that much tenderness that has nowhere to go.

Just carry on normally and smoothly, and deal with the things around you first.

that is it.

Oreki Gen was just about to start his boring and simple part-time job life.

"boom."

The door of the lounge opened again. Oreki Ken looked over and saw Kiyono Yuri, whose face was slightly red and who looked a little anxious, walking quickly towards him.

Oreki Gen didn't have time to say anything yet.

The other person put his hands on the counter, quickly approached his face, and looked at him eagerly.

"Oreki-kun, are you free tonight?"

Eh?

Where is the peaceful working life you promised?

(Hahahaha! One more chapter to go!!)

34: Let’s go, young man!

Oreki Gen felt like he was in a large-scale development game.

How should I put it, after changing the map and then coming back, the mission here feels as urgent as if it were burning at my eyebrows.

It’s like a bunch of progress has piled up, and by the time you come back, it’s already impatient to be triggered, all weighing on your head.

All kidding aside, Oreki Gen is feeling this way right now.

Especially when I saw the embarrassed and anxious expression on the face of Kiyono Yuri in front of me, it was like seeing Kikyo Satomi yesterday.
