...
It was the weekend.
After eating hotpot,
Class 1-A began to seriously prepare for the end of the second semester. Even Prunus, who had to go to labor reform on weekends, went to the Anderwa Firm.
She was forced to study by the secretary of the Anderwa Firm.
An Qiu said, "This is the Anderwa Cram School, not the Hero Firm."
Prunus, "..."
She bullied Prunus every day.
An Qiu stole a warm thick sweater from her wardrobe. She calmly left Prunus' room without a guilty conscience.
It was only the end of November. It was so cold.
She didn't even have enough clothes to wear. _ (: з 」 ∠) _
Dorm 1-A became a little quiet because of the exam preparation. It was time to prepare for the winter and the end of the semester.
An Qiu embarked on the path of part-time work as usual.
Recently, she worked at the coffee shop where she worked during the summer vacation. Although she didn't work there in Prunus now, she was familiar with the store manager.
The store manager was very willing to let An Qiu come back to help, but the scope of her work was limited to food delivery and cashier work.
When they arrived at the cafe, Anqiu changed into the cafe's unique uniform and calmly started her cashier's work. Here, her job was to help take orders and deliver food, and if a customer wanted to pay the bill, she would leave.
She also had to help cashier. However, there weren't many people in the coffee shop, so she didn't stand in front of the cashier for a long time.
Then, just as she was wiping tables and occasionally helping to order and deliver food, two people she was quite familiar with came to the coffee shop.
"... Ah, it's still the same coffee shop.
I haven't been here for a long time.
I really miss it. "After the doorbell rang, it meant that the door was opened.
It was a boy's hearty voice.
An Qiu hadn't looked up from wiping tables when she heard a voice that she would remember even if she turned into ashes, "Bullshit!
Can't you learn from your mistakes?!
I've never seen a person with a worse brain than you!
I'm telling you, if you can't learn these things today, I won't teach you anymore! "
… She felt that there was only one person in the entire city who could speak in such a dirty way.
An Qiu: Welcome (stick reading) (expressionless face) (dead eyes)
Explode: … Hey, idiot, let's go somewhere else.
Che Island: Why?
Isn't this store good?
Ah, where are the seats? Let's sit down!
Explode: "…"
Therefore, under Che Island's insistence, he and Explode found the same seats that they had dated last year and sat down. Then, they started to order.
"Welcome, what would you like to order?"
Although she was a senior Explode, she was still a guest. After wiping the table, An Qiu walked to Explode and Che Island with a serious expression. She took out a small notebook and began to record their orders.
"Oh!
Explode and I want two cups of cola! "
Che Island looked at An Qiu. Seeing her in a worker's uniform, he felt that it was a novelty. After he finished ordering, he turned to Explode and kicked his calf under the table, "Hey, Explode, do you want anything extra?"
"No!
Here! "
Seeing An Qiu was there, Explode was inexplicably angry. He crossed his arms and replied in an unfriendly tone. An Qiu saw his angry expression and did not say anything. She nodded slightly and entered the order.
Bao Hao glanced at the girl who left without saying a word. He felt even more irritated. Then, he shifted his anger to CheShima, who knew how to harden himself. Without saying a word, Bao Hao rolled the exercise book into a stick and hit CheShima on the head. Then, he activated the inverted triangle demon mode in his eyes and began his Spartan-style corporal punishment. "Open your math book now!"
"So sudden!"
Che Island was stunned when he saw Explode's irritation. He hardened his head at the critical moment and hurriedly took out the math book from his bag.
"… The third lesson!"
"Yes!!"
Che Island maintained the state of being hit on the head. He hurriedly turned to the first page of the third lesson, "Explode, you're in a bad mood today!"
"Huh?!
I was in a good mood, but when I saw your midterm report, I felt terrible! "Explode continued to hit him," Hurry up!
Show me the first page!
If you dare to do one question wrong, I'll kill you! "
"… You're a spartan at the beginning."
Che Island's forehead was sweating. He hurriedly started to do the exercises … But when he finished the first question, Che Island felt that something was wrong. He felt that Explode's reaction was not right.
Therefore, he had only written the first question when his hands stopped and he fell into deep thought.
Bao Hao: "Why the f * ck did you stop?!
Don't tell me you can't even learn the content of the third lesson! "
"That's not it."
Che Island stretched out his hand to block the book that Explode used to hit his head. He tilted his head and looked at Explode in front of him with a pair of puzzled eyes, "Explode, don't tell me you …"
"Huh?!" Explode's eyes were full of irritation and displeasure. He was as unruly as a wolf dog.
"You haven't sent the gift you bought for the school trip to Asakura, right?
I heard that Che Island gave it to her. "Che Island's face was full of surprise.
Explode's body suddenly stiffened and his heart stopped.
The hand that was hitting Che Island's head was also suspended in mid-air at this moment.
He looked like he had been caught red-handed.
When Che Island saw Explode's deflated reaction, it was as if he had received his tacit approval. Therefore, his eyes were instantly colored with surprise, "Is it true?!
Explode! "
Explode was locked by Che Island's scorching eyes. After a while, he finally reacted and began to hit Che Island's head angrily, "I don't know what you're talking about!!
Who the hell wants to give a gift to someone, is your brain flooded with water?!
I'm telling you, I don't want to give anything to that guy! "
"But the one you bought for your school trip was obviously meant for her.
That's what Hong said. "
"That bastard's words are all rubbish!
I'm telling you, even if I bought that useless thing, no one said it was for that piece of trash, I wouldn't give it to … "Explode was still desperately complaining with flaws. Just as he was addicted to beating Che Island, a cold voice suddenly interrupted him.
"You're so noisy, Explode -senpai, the store manager asked me to kick you out."
An Qiu, who was holding two cups of cola in her hands, said with a murderous look in her eyes.
Explode saw An Qiu, who had used teleportation to appear next to their table. He was originally cursing Che Island with a grimace, but in an instant, because he was afraid that she would hear what he said, he immediately closed his mouth into an 'X' shape.
Explode: Obedient as a dog.jpg
Che Island: … Who is this person?
"… Very good."
An Qiu nodded with satisfaction. Although she was very interested in what Explode said just now, because they were on the way to work, she didn't delve too deeply into it. She just calmly put the drinks on the tray on their table, "Your cola."
She elegantly put down the drinks one by one, and at the end, put a small plate of chips on their table.
"Eh?
We didn't order this. "
Che Island blinked and asked. Even though he used Hardening, he was still hit by Explode with a swollen bump.
"… The store manager said that he specially invited you because you're my friends."
An Qiu looked down at Che Island, glanced at Explode, and calmly explained, "Although it's just extra, I think Explode -senpai is too angry, so don't eat it if you can."
"Go to hell!"
Explode, who finally stopped talking, was instantly angered by An Qiu and stood up. He threw a punch at her face. Just as Che Island was trembling with fear, An Qiu used Instant Transmission to escape.
Che Island: …
Explode: Tsk.
…
Anqiu teleported and disappeared. Anqiu reappeared in front of the cashier counter. Crappie looked at her from afar and stuffed a handful of fries into his mouth.
Che Island: "Explode, you …"
Explode: "Shut up, do the questions!"
"… Okay."
Che Island silently reached for the chips, but Explode slapped his hand back, "Have you finished the first page?!
You're not allowed to eat! "
Che Island: … QAQ.
After saying that, Explode leaned back and sat on the sofa. His orange eyes stared at Che Island, who was doing the questions pitifully in front of him. He casually picked up his backpack and looked through it. He saw the pendant he bought in the capital.
— — It was a very ugly and cute little doll. Bao Hao looked down at the hanging ornament and stuffed it back into the box.
At that time, he had only taken a glance at it and thought of that damned woman. He had casually picked it up. He had never thought of giving it to her, but in his heart, he really wanted to give it to her. Otherwise, if he kept it by his side every day, he would think of her every time he saw it.
But when it came to gifts, the longer he delayed, the harder it was to give it to her.
And he didn't know what reason or identity he should give it to her.
Thinking of this, Bao Hao could not help but look in the direction of the cashier counter, and then his gaze fell on An Qiu who was working. It would have been better if he did not look, but when he looked, he found a lecherous man standing in front of An Qiu.
"Asakura -chan, where are you going after work?"
"… School."
"Don't you want to go somewhere else?"
"No, I have to study for the end of the term."
"Really?
I'm also studying at the university. Maybe I can study with you. "
"You're in my way."
An Qiu looked at the man indifferently. Her eyes were cold, making the man feel like she poured a bucket of cold water on his face.
"… That's a very cruel answer."
Halfway through the questions, Cheeshi-jima noticed that Cheeshi-jima was staring at something. He immediately raised his head and joined Cheeshi-jima in watching the show. "Speaking of which, it's not easy for a good-looking girl."
"Huh?
She's good-looking?
She's so ugly! "Explode said angrily. He picked up a book and knocked on Che Island's head," Do the questions for me! "
"Yes, yes … Who said you were going to teach me? You've been absent-minded since you came." Che Island deliberately said in a sour tone.
"What did you say?!"
Explode was so angry that his eyes turned into an inverted triangle. Seeing that Che Island finally started to do the questions, he couldn't help but look at An Qiu.
"So cold … Asakura -chan."
"…"
"Hey, can you tell me your name?
If I don't get your name today, I won't go back. "
"… That's really troublesome."
Because she was someone who could easily leave. An Qiu looked at the NPC in front of her calmly.
However, unlike An Qiu's calmness, when this conversation fell into Explosive Hero's ears, he was completely infuriated. Seriously, how long had he been pestered by that b * stard? Didn't such an adult know how to reject him?
Reject him directly, you bastard!
Compared to Explode's irritation, An Qiu's heart was like this: This person has tried to hit on me several times, isn't he bored?
Is he a masochist?
Was it about time for him to be sent back?
Ah, but it's so troublesome. I don't want to say anything complicated. Although the store manager won't punish me if I complain, it's still the store manager's shop. If possible, I want to use a way to make him back off … Ah, it's so troublesome.
"… Asakura -chan, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing An Qiu in a daze for no reason, the man reached his hand into the cashier and wanted to grab An Qiu's hand. However, An Qiu was An Qiu after all. She noticed it and dodged as fast as she could.
"Sir, I'm very busy, can you …"
"You're not busy now!"
The man laughed and teased her. An Qiu was about to say something when she suddenly noticed that the message light in the shop suddenly lit up. She looked up and saw that it was Explode's table number.
"I'm busy."
An Qiu replied calmly. She then used teleportation to disappear from the man's sight. She hurriedly arrived in front of Tyrant Boaster's table and said with a calm expression, "Senior Tyrant Boaster, what do you need …"
"You're so stupid. Don't you know how to refuse?!"
Instead of letting An Qiu finish her sentence, Explode hit An Qiu's book without saying anything. She was stunned for a moment and then reacted with an inexplicable surprise in her eyes, "… So senior pressed the bell for me?"
"… Huh?!
Who's doing it for you? Don't flatter yourself! "
Bao Hao stared blankly for a moment. His heart was caught by An Qiu, and he was so angry that his face turned red. Even though his motive was very obvious, he still denied it.
Che Island, "… Yes, it's for you."
An Qiu, on the other hand, looked down at the tycoon, whose expression was full of sincerity. She felt warmth in her heart, but she still pretended to sigh and said, "Then please don't play with the bell. The staff will be troubled."
"… What?!
Go to hell! "Explode was angry. He said no, but she still didn't understand?
She even asked him not to play with the bell?!
"Senior, your personality is annoying," An Qiu said faintly.
"You're even more annoying!" Explode was furious.
"Then don't study in this shop," An Qiu retorted without blushing.
"I want to stay here!" Explode slammed the table and stood up, staring at her with his orange eyes.
"Then … whatever you like."
The corners of An Qiu's mouth slowly curved into a mocking smile. She looked at the senior who was easy to understand and noticed that the man who had tried to hit on her had already left. She gently pushed the tyrant away and left without looking back. "I'm not interested in senior's matters."
"…?!" Explode was so angry that his eyes were about to spit fire. Were all junior girls nowadays as arrogant as her?!
Che Island rested his chin on his hand and thought, "That's why I'm here today to see you get angry and quarrel with your junior."
…
After An Qiu got off work, changed out of her uniform and left the shop, Explode and Che Island's seats were already empty.
An Qiu took her things away and pushed the door open. She looked at the sky that was dyed red by the sunset. It was only five o 'clock, and the sky darkened faster than usual due to the arrival of winter.
The air outside was getting colder and colder, and the road was wet. A gust of cold wind blew past, causing Anqiu, who was afraid of the cold, to shiver.
"Let's buy some food for Almond."
An Qiu saw a small shop selling taiyaki. She put her hands in her pockets and squinted her eyes as she approached.
…
"Miss, here are four taiyaki for you."
The shop owner soon finished grilling the taiyaki and handed a bag of warm desserts to An Qiu. She took one and took a bite without saying anything. The warm and sweet taste brought her to heaven.
— She felt like she could live through it.
Thinking this, An Qiu was about to walk to the bus stop heading to Xiongying when two familiar figures came face to face with her.
"Hey, Asakura, you're off work!"
"… Tsk, why do I see you everywhere?"
"…"
— It was Explode and Che Island who had been sitting in the cafe for the whole afternoon. An Qiu looked from afar and noticed that they were carrying bags of plastic bags. She was stunned again.
They had left the store about half an hour earlier than her. She thought that they had gone back to Xiong Ying, but she didn't expect that they had gone to Super Shang to buy things.
Seeing the two of them walking next to each other, shopping and shopping, no matter how much she didn't want to, she could only complain, "… You guys are so sweet."
Explode:?????
Che Island:?????
"Go to hell!"
Explode immediately exploded and punched An Qiu. An Qiu dodged and appeared behind Explode and Che Island, "Explode senpai has such a bad personality."
"You're the bad one!"
Explode twitched his mouth and gritted his teeth. An Qiu was still expressionless, so Explode didn't want to talk to her and left Che Island behind.
"Wait, Explode!"
Che Island hurried to catch up with him and sighed at his ability to quarrel with others. At the same time, he turned back and said goodbye to Asakura, "Asakura, we're leaving … Huh?"
Ceshima raised his eyebrows, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. "Asakura-san has disappeared?"
"Huh?!"
Boisterous Tyrant, who was walking in front, stopped in his tracks. He turned around and said irritably, "Haven't you learned your lesson?
That girl's personality is teleportation … Tsk, what the hell. "Explode stopped talking and looked at the bag of taiyaki on the ground with a frown.
An Qiu was indeed not here. That wasn't strange at all. But the strange thing was … the whole bag of taiyaki on the ground.
There was another bag with several bites on it. Obviously, she didn't leave it here on purpose. She must have left it here in a hurry.
Otherwise, why would that woman leave the bag in her hand and suddenly disappear?
Explode frowned and had a bad feeling. The scene of fighting with that woman at the idle construction site flashed in his mind. Explode frowned and thought for a while … then he shoved the plastic bag in his hand to Che Island, "I'll go look for her!"
"Wait, Explode …" Che Island was startled.
"Okay, shut up!
Go back! "Explode ran away in a hurry, leaving Che Island standing there in a daze.
Che Island, "… You don't care about my feelings at all."
…
