The heroines want to talk

Page 24

I don't think there will be a next time.

Xia Shi led Eriri to continue walking towards the top of the mountain. There were many monsters whose true forms could not be seen around them. Most of them had transformed into human forms. "This is my first time visiting a festival. It's very lively. I quite like it."

Eriri chewed on the candy, keeping her eyes on him. "Don't you think it's scary, you big idiot? A festival for monsters."

She is very scared now, so her attention is always on Xia Shi.

Xia Shi suddenly turned around, and Eriri was stunned and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

A warm embrace surrounded her, and the pleasant smell and comfortable feeling made her close her eyes slightly.

[Reminder: The monster's aura has been replenished, and the validity period is 30 minutes.]

Ying Lili reluctantly came out of his arms and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly hug me, you idiot? Are you scared?"

She puffed out her chest and said proudly, "I am a cat demon now, I am not afraid at all!"

This is a lie.

"If you're scared, you can hold me for a while longer. I don't mind."

Xia Shi took her hand again and smiled, "I was a little scared just now, but I feel better now."

"Sawamura-kun, it's up to you to protect me from now on."

Chapter 29 Eriri is about to win!

Heading toward the mountainside, Xia Shi saw a store on the side of the road. Looking at Eriri who was still fighting against the apple next to her, he asked, "Do you want to go fishing for goldfish, Sawamura?"

There happened to be a few cat demons gathered there.

Eriri looked over and found that the little monster who came over and talked to her just now was also there. His name seemed to be... Orange?

She was in a daze and didn't hear clearly.

Seeing that she seemed very interested, Xia Shi pulled her closer.

The boss has very eye-catching long red hair and is very enthusiastic.

She greeted him, "Hey! Young man! Do you want to come and catch some carp?"

A familiar name. Do all the monsters here like to call people like this?

Also, why carp? Shouldn't it be goldfish?

"Oh, let me remind you first."

The boss looked at Ying Lili and said to Xia Shi: "The fish here are all caught and raised, not eaten."

Eriri retorted, "I'm not going to eat it!"

"That's good."

She breathed a sigh of relief and proudly introduced: "These are all children who have the potential to turn into dragons. It would be a waste to eat them.

"Guest, you must have heard of the legend of the carp leaping over the dragon gate, right?"

Xia Shi nodded.

The boss waved his hand and said, "Then I won't talk to you anymore."

I'm just being polite with you??? You're the one who said it?

Is there something wrong with this boss?

"Brother, don't believe this guy's lies."

Orange, who was fishing for carp nearby, said, "What she said is as likely as not. I think it's better to fish it back and eat it."

As she spoke, she stuck out her pink little tongue and licked her lips.

"Hong Meiling, I'm going to eat all your fish!!"

Then, he glanced at Eriri who was standing beside him, and said in surprise, "Hey! It's the sister from before. It turns out that you are not a single monster! That's great. I thought you would always be alone."

She used the net in her hand to catch the little red carp in the basin and said worriedly, "Cat demons grow very slowly. I don't know when Orange will grow to be as big as her sister."

Only then did Ying Lili realize that she seemed to have been misunderstood by the other party as an unwanted old aunt.

Xia Shi looked at the price next to it and found it a bit expensive. "Boss, give me ten nets first."

Ying Lili leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You big idiot, this place looks suspicious no matter how you look at it. Look, that little cat demon didn't catch any goldfish. I don't know how you got the money here, but it's better to save some money, right?"

No! I want to kill the dog owner system!

This money cannot be saved!

Xia Shi said indifferently: "As long as you are happy, I can accept it."

He handed over the money.

The boss smiled happily and handed him ten small nets, "Young man, you are really rich."

Xia Shi gave Eriri five nets and complained, "This net is actually made of paper. Boss, you really know how to run a business."

"The industry is in a recession, and I had no choice." Hong Meiling spread her hands.

“Is the competition for catching goldfish so fierce?”

Hong Meiling nodded seriously, "Not only is catching goldfish intense, simple jobs like guarding the door are also intense. For example, I was fined hundreds of years' salary. Now I have no choice but to come out to earn extra money."

? ? Fined hundreds of years of wages?

How did you do it?

"Then your boss is really too much. The fine is hundreds of years."

Hong Meiling touched her head and said embarrassedly: "Not really, it's just that I sleep at the door every day, and every time I'm caught, I'll be fined a few days' salary, and it accumulates over time."

Xia Shi opened his mouth, unable to complain.

He is still too young.

This isn't even paid slacking, this is jumping in the boss's face.

Cheng on the side was concentrating on catching fish. A gorgeous purple light flashed in her eyes, and she caught a fish into the net.

Seeing this, Hong Meiling put away her net, "You are not allowed to use the power of the shikigami! Your net is confiscated. If you want, buy another one."

"Tsk!" Cheng packed up the carp, "Then I'll just take this one."

"Miserable!" Cheng stood up and ran outside.

She waved and shouted, "Sister Lan! I'm here."

Yakumo Aoi was carrying deep-fried tofu. Seeing her running over, she complained, "How come I went to queue up to buy something and you disappeared?"

"Hey, hey." Cheng held out the bag in his hand as if showing off, "Look, a carp!"

Lan reluctantly put it into his sleeve, "I'll make it for you when I get home. Now let's go find Lady Zi first. I don't know where she has gone."

Xia Shi tried to catch the fish with a paper net, but unfortunately the fish moved very quickly and he couldn't catch any with his own skills.

Ying Lili managed to catch one thanks to her enhanced dynamic vision after the transformation.

In the end, the two of them used up ten nets and only caught two fish, both of which were caught by Ying Lili.

Hong Meiling fanned the flames and said, "Brother, you don't seem to be doing well! You didn't catch any fish."

"Would you like some more?"

"do not want!"

Ying Lili shared a fish with him, "You big idiot! Stop giving money to this shady merchant!"

Xia Shi took the fish and smiled at the boss, "I am a person who is easily satisfied."

"Tsk." Hong Meiling smacked her lips, "Brother, you are too honest."

"Being honest and dutiful is one of my rare virtues." Xia Shi stood up and straightened his wrinkled haori. "Well, I'll take my leave, boss."

Hong Meiling waved her hand, "Let's go!"

Natsumi pulled Eriri and continued walking up the mountain.

Ying Lili was holding the water bag containing the carp in her right hand, and she had just finished eating the candy.

She asked curiously, "Why are you so nice to me today, you big fool?"

Of course, it was to take advantage of the system, but he certainly couldn't say that.

Xia Shi thought for a moment and replied, "I hate to see girls cry. Whenever I see a beautiful girl crying, I will want to comfort her."

Ying Lili was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it okay even if it's not me?"

Xia Shi shook his head. "It doesn't have to be Sawamura-san, but not everyone can do it."

"Oh."

A fairly acceptable answer.

Ying Lili felt that she was a little strange now. She was not even a classmate of him and had only met him twice, but she was worried about things that she shouldn't worry about.

It obviously has nothing to do with me who he treats well, and what does it have to do with me who he hugs or who he is with?

Maybe it was because the hug just now was too warm, or maybe it was because of the desperate fight the day before yesterday.

Eriri didn't know what this felt like.

She just felt that her left hand was very warm, and the heat could even spread throughout her body.

The wind is very strong on the mountain, but it’s not that cold now.

It's really amazing.

The girl looked towards the top of the mountain. The road was still long and she could walk with him for a long time.

Chapter 30 Win! But it seems like I didn’t win

"Sawamura-san, would you like some takoyaki?"

"Want to eat!"

"Where's the rice cake?"
