Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 292

By the time Natsuki returned to the classroom, Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko had already gone back to their seats.It wasn't long before class time, and Xia Zhi also sat back in his seat.

Although Ryoko Yamamoto has been looking at this side, and probably guessed what he was doing before, but now is not a good time to talk, so we can only talk about it at night.There should be still time.

Just focus on class now.

Although I really am not in the mood to listen to the lectures now.

In a daze, the short class time in the afternoon was over.Xia Zhi packed his schoolbag, said goodbye to the two of them as usual, and then left the classroom and headed to his work place.

As expected, when Natsuki opened the door, Tachibana Aya was already sitting in front of the counter.Seeing Xia Zhi come in, he put away his phone and said hello.

Natsuki replied perfunctorily and went to change clothes. When he came out of the changing room, he was blocked by Tachibana Aya at the door.

"I didn't expect someone to have such interest." Xia Zhi spent two seconds running his brain to process the information, and finally came to this surprising conclusion: "But what's the point of eavesdropping on a boy changing his clothes?"

"I didn't eavesdrop!" Tachibana Aya took a step back, probably trying to use her actions to distance herself from the "eavesdropping" matter.

"Then what are you doing standing here?"

"Yes... I want to ask you why you are so cold to me! Is it because you have forgotten your old love when you have a new love?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Besides, it's all because of you that I'm still very busy right now."

"How can you blame me? I don't even know what happened."

Natsuki pushed Tachibana Aya away from the changing room, and he was about to start working.Although I am still a little uneasy and nervous about what is going to happen tomorrow, there is nothing I can do about this kind of mechanical and repetitive work, and there is no problem in doing two things.

"By the way, I don't know if the store manager will come over today, so I'll tell you first."

"What?" Tachibana Aya started cooking, unable to hide her curiosity at all.

"I may come later tomorrow. I don't know the specific time, but I will definitely be there for an hour or two. If I haven't come back by meal time, you can find a place to eat by yourself."

Although it can be said that he knows his cooking skills from the bottom up, Tachibana Aya can always bring him a different confidence.Probably because of this, Natsuki was able to cook for Tachibana Aya while complaining. Who wouldn't like to appreciate it?

"...So my dinner is gone?"

"Not necessarily, the main reason is that I don't know how long it will take, although it should be able to finish before dinner time, but I can't say for sure." Xia Zhi sighed: "It is your responsibility to become like this, if it is not for you If you instigate it, it won’t be the case now, so you’d better just be patient and patient.”

"Is it my fault in the end?" Tachibana Aya looked innocent: "Then would it be better if I didn't do those things?"

"It depends on what you think. I am very grateful to you." There are as many people who can understand the situation clearly.But there are very few people who can recognize themselves, and Xia Zhi is not among them. As for Li Huacai who gave him the opportunity to know himself, Xia Zhi is indeed grateful.

"Then there is nothing wrong." Tachibana Aya came to this conclusion.

"Thank you so much."

"However, even though you say that, I'll wait for you for a while."

"I don't quite understand why you have to wait for me. To be honest, although you think it's delicious, I think it's pretty average."

"Didn't I say it before? It smells like poverty."

Xia Zhi suddenly didn't want to cook for her.

"At least please call it rustic."

Sighing, this person is sometimes serious and sometimes not serious, so he is not a good conversation partner.Although it is quite interesting in many cases, it is better to cleanse yourself now.

Pour a glass of water for Tachibana Aya: "Just be quiet for a while. Let me think of something. If you have nothing to do, go play on your phone."

"Okay..." Tachibana Aya was quite obedient this time.

Natsuki spent a rare moment of quiet time. It wasn't until Mayumi pushed the door open and the wind chimes sounded that there were other sounds in the store.

"good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Natsuki, and Tachibana-senpai."

"It's really too much. Am I just 'still'? I'm going to cry."

"Tachibana-senpai, please stop making trouble. I just met you in school half an hour ago."

"Okay, okay, I know you don't love me anymore. But what can I do? I'm just a weak and powerless beautiful girl."

Xia Zhi really almost laughed.Mayumi also looked helpless, and then walked towards Tachibana Aya: "Really, can't Tachibana-senpai be more serious? Even if it's not like that in school, but she said that she is a weak and weak beautiful girl, It’s better not to talk about it all the time.”

"What! Mayumi, are you trying to say that I'm not beautiful?" Tachibana Aya stood up boldly, grabbed Mayumi's shoulders, and stared into her eyes.

"Ah ah, don't get so close! Tachibana-senpai is very beautiful!"

"Why did I hear the reluctance in the words?"

"Nothing! You heard wrong!"

The two of them were bickering, but Xia Zhi remembered something.

"By the way, Mayumi. Our school will have a school festival from Monday to Wednesday next week. If it's convenient, you can come and play."

"Eh? School festival? At this time?"

"Although it is a bit unreasonable to hold a school festival at this time, there is nothing we can do. If you want to have fun, you can bring your friends with you."

Tachibana Aya raised her hand: "I know where Xia Zhi's school is, I can take you there."

After all, Natsuki was once blocked by her at the gate of her school, so it was normal for Tachibana Aya to know where her school was.

"Although I really want to go and see it, aren't Monday to Wednesday working hours?"

"There's no problem with this. The store manager has already said that he will be closed on one of the days and take the whole family to play together."

"..."

Mayumi felt that she was speechless and had nothing to say.After all, she didn't have enough manpower, and she even had to take a day off to have fun. As far as she was concerned, this was the first time in her life that she had seen a coffee shop owner.

"If you are interested, you can go and have a look then. Although this is my first time to participate in such an event, my classmates say that our school's school festival is quite interesting."

"Well, the school where the haunted house that scares guests into the hospital is located is indeed quite interesting."

???

How do you feel like everyone knows?How famous is this thing?

"If there is really a day off then, I will go over and have a look." She also saw Aya Tachibana winking crazily next to her, and sighed: "I'm with Tachibana-senpai."

"So, Xia Zhi, have you guys already decided what to do?"

"Although the specifics haven't been decided yet, it should be a cafe-like store. It will look similar to anime or novels."

Tachibana Aya looked at Xia Zhi quietly for a while.

“Are you addicted to being a waiter?”

"It's because it's very deep...but what I have to do is no different from what I am doing now."

"It's no different?" Miss Mayumi activated her passive skill, and the intuition of the daughter of the Metropolitan Police boss said: "Natsuchi, are you going to do the same job at the school festival?"

"Well... my classmate told me about working in a coffee shop, and it ended up like this. And I think even opening a coffee shop probably has something to do with her."

"Should you say it's miserable...or should you say it's popular?"

"It's just that I'm not bullied. Oh, by the way, if you go, you can also eat delicious snacks. The person working in the kitchen with me is a girl with very good cooking skills. Mayumi should still have some impressions, right? You also know Tachibana."

Xia Zhi looked at Tachibana Aya, and the other party quickly realized who Xia Zhi was talking about.

"Is he some cute child? His name seems to be... Shiraishi Rika, right?"

"That being said, I have some impression. I seem to have been to the store before."

"Yes, the food she made is delicious. It would be a real loss if you don't try it."

"Is it rated so highly?" Mayumi became slightly interested. After all, girls don't refuse delicious food, especially desserts.

"Yes, it's much better than the average food or snacks in most restaurants or coffee shops I know."

"In this case, I will definitely try it."

Mayumi has been taken advantage of by Xia Zhian.But the other person's brain circuit works a little differently.

"Why do you say it as if you eat it often?"

He is extremely sensitive in a place like this.It always felt like Tachibana Aya's attention was focused on strange places.

"Well, we have a good relationship, so we often eat together. Most of the time, we can always taste some good things that we can't usually eat. This is the benefit of making a lot of friends."

"Although I think this is not a friendly relationship that ordinary friends can achieve." Tachibana Aya's eyes twitched: "I think this is very strange."

"What's so strange about this?" Xia Zhi didn't care.

"Forget it. I don't think anything so bloody will happen. I'm probably the only one in the world who can tolerate your ordinaryness."

"What you just said is not only strange, it's also hurtful."

Xia Zhi shook his head and continued to work.Mayumi also put Tachibana Aya aside and started cleaning. After chatting for such a long time, if she lingered for a while, it would be time to start business.Time is a little tight.

After that, the store manager also came and told Mayumi and the regular customers present that he would be closed for one day next Monday in front of Mayumi. Except for Mayumi, the reaction he got was this...

"Is Natsuki's school going to hold a school festival? I'll go check it out when I have time."

"What a pity. I don't seem to have much time on weekdays. I'll check it out if I pass by."

"Senior Xia Zhi? We will go and have a look after school on Monday."

Although I don't know if nearly a dozen guests were found to support me in advance, I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. After all, if I can spend it easily, it won't be interesting, but it seems to be pretty good.

But I’m not sure how many times I can have such an event, so it’s better to make it as lively as possible, right?
Let’s talk about it then. Anyway, seeing how happy my classmates are, I probably want to liven things up a bit.Otherwise, Qingfeng would not have been so insistent on setting up a haunted house or something. Although he failed, after all, this was actually a democratic intra-class vote. The reason why Qingfeng lost was simply because there were not enough people, lol.

Mayumi left before finishing dinner, and the store manager who had stayed in the store for dinner also left after dinner. Natsuki, who stayed in the store to work until the end of the time, started to pack up after seeing off the last customer.There's nothing to tidy up, just put the tables and chairs back to their original positions.

As for tableware, they can basically be washed and put into the disinfection cabinet at any time. Instead, you don’t have to wait until the business is over to clean them up, although it is extremely troublesome.

"What are you going to do when you go back today?"

"do not know."

Compared to Natsuki's calmness, Tachibana Aya seemed more surprised.

"I thought you would let me go home, just like before."

"Even if I tell you to go home honestly, you won't listen to me, so I won't bother to say anything."

"It always feels like there's a lot less fun...but this seems to be pretty good."

Tachibana Aya smiled, then curled her lips again.

"You still haven't said what you're going to play today?"

"Didn't I say I didn't know?"

"You are perfunctory with me, you don't love me anymore."

"If you keep talking nonsense, you can go back to bed by yourself."

"This is still the same as before..."

Tachibana Aya didn't have any special reaction. After all, Natsuki wasn't the only one who was used to certain things.

"How about going back and playing Ludo?"

"You're not tired of playing yet..."

Xia Zhi showed a reluctant expression. The process was very repetitive and took a long time, and there was no fun at all. Although it was quite interesting when you played it for the first and second time, when you play it for the third time By the third or fourth time, that pleasure turns to torture.

Just like when you play a mobile game, you think the cutscene of the card character placing the Noble Phantasm is very nice and moved you. When you know that the Noble Phantasm screen cannot be skipped, you will be moved to tears.

"To be honest, I'm a little tired of it. Then when I have free time, I will go to the board game store to see what interesting board games there are."

"..."

I just wanted to say "yes", but his position didn't allow him to say that.Then Tachibana Aya followed Natsuki back to his apartment. Basically, he did nothing. He just lay in the kotatsu there for a few hours before being sent back by Natsuki.

Anyway, Tachibana Aya is sure to come here almost every day. It would be nice to find something to do instead of being so boring.

On the way back to the apartment, Xia Zhi thought a little boredly.
