Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 356 353. Gentle World (2)

After lunch, Jiuzhou Cheng came to the gymnasium amid the crowd.

Just as the students said, the school will hold a symposium this afternoon with the theme of opposing and stopping campus bullying and enhancing students' awareness of self-protection and sense of justice.

The principal and teachers gave opening remarks for a few minutes, and then two people stood up and walked onto the stage.

When he saw these two people, Jiuzhou Cheng's pupils shocked.

The first person to come on stage was Hijikata Hitoshi, but he was dressed in a neat suit, which was totally different from the image of the murderer in his mind.

The second person to come on stage was a stranger, but Jiuzhou Cheng felt that the other person's temperament was very familiar. It was Xi Shenjian! Jiuzhou Cheng recognized him. But the two looked different. This one looked more gangster-like, but his eyes were full of righteousness.

"Hello everyone, my name is Hijikata Hitoshi. I used to work at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Later, I founded the private charity organization [Wano Country School Bullying Rescue Association], determined to solve all school bullying problems and allow the country's young seedlings to thrive!" Hijikata Hitoshi took the microphone and talked freely:

"I believe many people are familiar with the person next to me. His name is Ida Yuma, and he is a professional lawyer. We are old acquaintances from our early years, and we have worked together to solve many school bullying problems."

"Hello everyone, Ida Yumadesu! Thank you for your advice!" Ida Yuma took the microphone and introduced himself in a humorous and funny tone, which caused the students to laugh.

The two of them sang in unison on the stage, and Jiuzhou Cheng only felt his mind churning, and unfamiliar memories emerged in his heart.

Hijikata Hitoshi, who once worked at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, received many complaints about school bullying. Although he wanted to help bullied children, he was often frustrated due to the imperfections of the law and the indifference of society.

Until his nephew Hijikata Izuna was bullied in school and almost jumped off the building to commit suicide. Fortunately, he was discovered in time by a passing teacher and the tragedy was prevented.

When Hikata Hitoshi learned about this, he completely broke down and in a rage he planned to kill the bullies by illegal means.

However, just before he committed the crime, a lawyer named Ida Yuma found him and claimed that he had a better way to make the bullies pay the price.

Hijikata Hitoki was persuaded by Date Yuma to give up the idea of ​​killing. In the end, the two worked together to make the bullies who bullied Hijikata Izuna be severely punished by law, and Hijikata Izuna returned to school after receiving psychological counseling.

Afterwards, Hijikata Hitoshi took the lead in establishing the Wano Country School Bullying Rescue Association, a private charity organization, with the intention of saving all children who have suffered from school bullying, while petitioning and urging the government to formulate a more complete anti-school violence bill.

So far, the organization has expanded to a huge scale of thousands of people, and has a great influence in the education sector of Wano Country. And Date Yuma is the chief legal adviser and honorary vice president of the organization, adding a momentum of "the righteous are invincible" to the organization.

"Is that so? That's great." Jiuzhou Cheng's mouth couldn't help but twitch upwards, and he felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

The speech ended unknowingly and it was time to go home from school.

Jiuzhou Cheng said goodbye to his classmates and left the school. His memory told him that he would work in a dessert shop today.

When he arrived at the dessert shop, Jiuzhou Cheng changed into his work clothes under the instructions of the manager and went to his post to wait.

This dessert shop is a French chain store. Whether it is the luxurious decoration inside the store or the pastries on the shelves that look like works of art, they all show its nobility to the customers.

Jiuzhou Cheng felt an indescribable sense of strangeness in his heart, as if he had never worked in such a place before.

But he changed his mind and remembered that this was the part-time job that Senior Yachuan introduced to him.

Because it is a high-end chain brand from abroad, the salary and benefits are very high, and the work arrangement is very casual, with almost no pressure.

The only thing Jiuzhou Cheng had to pay attention to was to maintain his manners in front of the guests and not look poor and spoil the guests' interest.

After standing in front of the counter for an hour, Jiuzhou Cheng received three customers in succession. They were all middle class or high-income people. They were polite and elegant in conversation. It was a pleasure to help them check out.

Half an hour later, four young girls walked into the store together.

They all looked like daughters of wealthy families, and Kyushu Makoto recognized their school uniforms, which were the uniforms of Tokyo's top aristocratic high school "Takamagaharamine Academy". The fabric alone exuded a sense of luxury.

The girls chatted and laughed as they sat elegantly in the dining area of ​​the store, reaching out to the waiter to take their orders.

"Here we are, guests!" Jiuzhou Cheng subconsciously took the menu and notebook and walked quickly to the girls' table.

"Same old, I want fruit ice cream crepe~" The girl with golden curly hair snapped her fingers at him.

"Is it really good to eat ice cream in winter? It would be too embarrassing if you get diarrhea." The girl with long black hair elegantly enjoyed the high-end black tea provided by the store and said, "Black tea is best paired with tiramisu cake."

"Matcha yokan, thank you." The girl with the princess hairstyle clasped her hands together and said shyly.

"Guest, what about you?" Jiuzhou Cheng looked at the fourth girl, and then his eyes were startled:
"Officer Qing Gong?"

The long brown hair tied in a ponytail on one side, the three-dimensional facial features of a mixed-race person, and the clear eyes like the moon are definitely her.

For some reason, Officer Qing Gong, who was desperate to catch the KJ organization, would appear in such a place, and with his female classmate.

What's more, what Officer Kiyomiya was wearing today was not a search suit, but an ordinary school uniform of Takamagahara-mine. She had a popular women's school bag on her shoulder with a cartoon doll ornament hanging on the bag, and her nails were very long.

She looks just like an ordinary high school girl.

"Um, officer?" The girl with golden curly hair giggled and asked, "Hey, he called you officer~ What's going on?"

"I don't know. Maybe he's too tired from working, Kyushu Makoto~?" Qingmiya Elisa looked up at the boy with a smile, and her tone was a little teasing: "As a frequent customer here, the clerk should be obliged to remember what I want to eat~?"

"Uh," Jiuzhou Cheng frowned and guessed, "Mango flavored dessert?"

"Oh, don't you remember it clearly?" Qing Gong Elisa raised her lips and proudly held up two fingers: "Help me choose one of your most proud mango desserts. By the way, I want two."

"Two?" Jiuzhou Cheng was puzzled.

"Silly, one portion is for you." The girl with golden curly hair stuck out her tongue and explained.

"Don't talk too much, my dear." Qingmiya Elisa said lightly.

"Some things cannot be said even if you know them. That's why Neyoko is hated by others." The girl with long black hair put down her teacup and preached with half-closed eyes.

"Yes, yes, you are the one that everyone loves, Red Tea Girl~" The girl with golden curly hair glanced at the girl with long black straight hair with disdain.

While the few of them were bickering, Qing Gong Elisa looked up at Jiuzhou Cheng again and asked, "What are you looking at? Why don't you go get ready?"

"Sorry, I'll go right away." Jiuzhou Cheng hurried to the kitchen to prepare.

Strange, what's going on? Jiuzhou Cheng's mind was so confused that he could hardly think.

Is it that Kiyomiya Elisa is not a public security investigator determined to catch the KJ organization, but an ordinary high school student who eats dessert with her sisters after school?

Although her personality is still as arrogant, conceited and awkward, her temperament has changed a lot.

Or did I remember it wrong again?

What public security investigator? High school students can’t join the public security force, let alone become a police officer, right?

A memory flashed into Jiuzhou Cheng's mind, causing him to kneel on the ground with his head in his hands, and he almost cried out in pain.

The eldest daughter of the famous Kiyomiyaji family, Kiyomiyaji Elizabeth. She has a perfect mixed-race beauty and has shown excellent talents in various fields since she was young. She is both civil and military, virtuous and artistic, and is completely synonymous with "elite aristocracy".

She has had a happy family and a happy life since childhood. Her life has been smooth sailing. She was admitted to Takamagaharamine Academy in high school as she wished, and has a bright future.

Qingmiya Eliza and Kyushu Makoto officially met when she first visited this dessert shop.

At that time, Jiuzhou Cheng had just started working in the store not long ago. He was not very familiar with the job and his service was not up to standard. Because of this, Qingmiya Elisa disliked him and threatened to fire the manager.

The store manager felt sorry for Jiuzhou Cheng, so he told the young lady of the Qing Palace the boy's tragic story.

Although Qing Gong Elisa was superior and arrogant, she was not unsympathetic. After hearing Kyushu Makoto's tragic story, she decided to forgive the boy once and not continue to make things difficult for him.

Just as Qing Gong Elisa finished buying dessert and was leaving, she was unfortunately robbed by a passing biker gang and her wallet was taken away.

Seeing that the biker gang was about to escape, Jiuzhou Cheng jumped down from the roof of the second floor of the dessert shop and landed accurately on the heads of the bikers, pinning down the gangsters and their motorcycles, and successfully helping the girl retrieve her lost items.

That day, the image of the young man falling from the sky remained in the mind of Qing Gong Eliza and has never been erased.

The boy didn't know what the girl was thinking. He only knew that since that day, the girl would often come to this dessert shop. Every time, she would ask Jiuzhou Cheng to serve her, and order an extra dessert for the boy to eat with her. Sometimes she would even give him a tip before leaving.

Of course, the girl's attitude was still arrogant, casual and condescending, and she often teased him. But Jiuzhou Cheng could see that she had no ill will towards him, and since the two of them were in a waiter and customer relationship, he did not hold a grudge against her.

"So this is how we met." Jiuzhou Cheng felt that his memory was confused again. Maybe he was too tired recently.

After a while, Jiuzhou Cheng came to the girls' table with the food and distributed it to them: "Sorry for the wait."

"It's so slow." Qingmiya Elisa complained.

"Sorry, I'll pay more attention next time." Jiuzhou Cheng replied awkwardly but politely: "The desserts are all here, please enjoy your meal, ladies."

After that, he put away the tray and turned to leave.

"Wait, where are you going?" Qing Gong Elisa asked. "What's wrong?" Jiuzhou Cheng stopped and turned around.

"Sit down." Qing Gong Elisa pointed to the empty chair next to her and said, "Please stay with us for a while. This is also a service."

"We don't include this kind of service." Jiuzhou Cheng was about to say this when a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.

I seem to have done this kind of thing many times before.

Jiuzhou Cheng shook his head and sat down on the chair obediently.

After sitting down, Kyushu Makoto realized that he was very close to Qingmiya Elisa, and the two were almost touching.

The girls began to enjoy the desserts. Just like the high school girls you see everywhere, they slowly put the desserts into their mouths with a small spoon, and from time to time they exclaimed with intoxication, "It's so delicious."

Jiuzhou Cheng looked at the mango cake on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then poked the mango pieces on the top with a fork.

"I say, your name is Jiuzhou Cheng, right?" asked the girl with golden curly hair.

"Oh, yes." Jiuzhou Cheng nodded.

"It's a rare name~" the girl with golden curly hair said kindly, "How about I call you Little Kyushu?"

"Please do as you wish, sir." Jiuzhou Cheng replied.

"By the way, Xiao Jiuzhou, do you have a girlfriend?" The girl with golden curly hair asked again, holding her cheek.

The other girls' expressions also changed slightly, and they all looked over at the same time.

"No." Jiuzhou Cheng responded seriously.

"So do you have a girl you like?"

"nor."

"Hey~ What do you think about Elizabeth kissing you?" asked the girl with golden curly hair.

"Elizabeth?" Jiuzhou Cheng turned his head to look at Qinggong Elisa, but saw that she was staring at him with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"She is a very remarkable girl, and very charming." Kyushu Makoto commented as if he was being possessed by a demon: "I admire her very much."

"Ahhh~!" The girl with golden curly hair screamed in surprise, and the other girls also called out softly.

Qing Gong Elisa slightly looked away, her cheeks slightly red: "Humph, after all, I am very charming, men will praise me like this~"

"No, no, no, do you know, little Jiuzhou?" The girl with golden curly hair said with a big mouth:
"If one day you end up being a gigolo, Elizabeth will definitely come and give you a champagne tower every day until she redeems you~"

"That's enough, Niyoko." The girl with long black hair sighed in annoyance and knocked the girl with golden curly hair lightly on the head with her fist.

"Neyoko, please don't say such things. It will bother Mr. Kyushu and classmate Kiyomiyaji." The taciturn girl with a princess-like hairstyle couldn't help but advise.

"Yeah, there's been too much gossip." Qing Gong Eliza also stood up, and Jiuzhou Cheng saw that her face was red:

"Isn't it time to go to the mall? We still have to go to KTV tonight!"

"Hey, I haven't finished eating yet," the girl with golden curly hair complained.

"Do you want me to help put it in your mouth?" the girl with long black hair said coldly.

The girls made a fuss for a while, then paid the bill and left.

Before leaving, Qing Gong Elisa casually handed Jiuzhou Cheng two thousand-yuan bills as a "tip." Of course, there was no rule of tipping in this store.

"You're so polite." Jiuzhou Cheng knew he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it with a smile.

"Really? It's better to come alone next time." Qingmiya Elisa glanced at her girlfriends waiting outside the door, holding her forehead and said softly.

"Everyone seems to be getting along so well~" Kyushu Makoto pouted.

“Maybe~” Qing Gong Elisa also smiled relaxedly: “Let’s go, I’ll come back next time.”

"You're welcome anytime." Jiuzhou Cheng bowed slightly.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Jiuzhou Cheng finished his work for the day and went home.

Passing by the busy street of Kamurocho, Kyushu Makoto's eyes fell on a flower shop on the side of the road.

The young female store manager was moving potted plants from outside the store back into the store. When she saw Jiuzhou Cheng, she immediately stopped and greeted him.

"Yohoo, Chun Chuan, did you just get home from get off work?"

Kyushu Makoto looked carefully and saw that the person who greeted him was Suzumiya Kame.

"Hey, Sister Kazuko, didn't you go to Kyoto?" Kyushu Makoto stopped in his tracks.

"What are you talking about? I've been running a flower shop here all the time!" Suzumiya Kaede put his hands on his hips, looked up and thought, "About five or six years!"

"Really?" Jiuzhou Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Haha, then I'll go home first. Good night!"

"Good night, Harukawa-chan!" Suzumiya Kazue waved to him.

"Sorry, this place is not closed yet!" Just then, a handsome old man in a well-dressed suit trotted over and asked Suzumiya Kaoru.

Kyushu Makoto looked closely and found that the man was actually Saito Jirosuke, the manager of the public relations bar where he worked part-time. No!

Jiuzhou Cheng shook his head and remembered it again.

That store manager was not Saito Jirosuke, and I accidentally remembered him wrong.

Instead, he remembered that Saito Jirosuke was the head of the sales department of a large shopping mall in Shinjuku. When Mr. Saito was still a front-line salesman, Kyushu Makoto had seen him several times in the mall.

"Manager, are there any roses here?" asked Saito Jirosuke.

"Let me take a look. There are still a few roses that haven't been sold today. I'll pick them up and see if there are any wilted ones." Suzumiya Kazue turned around and started searching on the shelves.

"That's great. Today is my and my wedding anniversary." Saito Ninosuke breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, then I have to help the customer pack it better." Suzumiya Kazue blinked: "Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy Madam."

"Thank you so much." Saito Ninosuke wiped the sweat from his forehead and started complaining again:

"Really? I'm already this old and still have to work overtime. I can't even celebrate my wedding anniversary properly. If I had known not to go to college, I might be the manager of a gigolo club now~"

"Don't say that, customer~ It's always good to do a clean job." Suzumiya Kame came out holding a bouquet of roses and said with a smile: "Here, the roses you asked for, thank you for your patronage!"

"Thank you." Saito Ninosuke paid the money and left with the bouquet of roses.

Jiuzhou Cheng returned to the rental house.

Before entering, he knocked on his neighbor's doorbell.

"It's Brother Cheng!" Neighbor Xiaojing opened the door.

"These are the leftover desserts from our store. I picked out a few good ones for you to try." Jiuzhou Cheng handed a bag of desserts to Xiaojing.

"Thank you!" Xiao Jing took the bag and said happily: "If you have any computer problems in the future, please contact me. You're welcome!"

After saying that, she closed the door.

Jiuzhou Cheng stood at the door of Xiaojing's house, and his brain felt a sharp pain again.

Zuo Jingtang is a high school girl from the neighbor's tech-geek family and also an international student from Yanhuang.

Jiuzhou Cheng met her when he just moved in. Xiaojing was a tech geek, but she was enthusiastic and outgoing. The two of them got along well on topics related to Yanhuang culture, and they became familiar with each other after a few interactions.

Come to think of it, I once helped Xiao Jing correct her social anxiety problem. No, no, no, what am I thinking about? Maybe I remembered it wrong.
How could Xiao Jing be socially anxious? She is extremely outgoing, the sunny type who can make friends with anyone!

Jiuzhou Cheng knocked his head, forcing himself not to recall those dark and strange memories.

Then, go home and go to bed.
