Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 49 Well... this is what it's like here...

Tonight, Natsuki came to Tachibana Aya's apartment again.Last time I said that I was a little homesick for this high-end apartment, and at the same time I was a little bit, really just a little, interested in the living environment of Lihuacai.He is also more curious about what the writer's living environment will be like.

After going there yesterday, I compared the scene with the one I imagined. Except for the shelf of figurines and the pile of treasures in the corner, it generally matched the scene.And after seeing the various books stacked up like a mountain, Xia Zhi was so shocked that he finally used an awl to carve the word "excellent" into the festooned image in his heart.

But I came here today not because I wanted to witness this scene with my own eyes, but because she said:
"I bought a do-it-yourself cabinet today. Can you help me install it?"

"...Can't you just ask them to install it for you when you buy it?"

"I still have to go to school. The package is still at the property downstairs."

Then, Xia Zhi was caught as a young man.Because there is an elevator, there is no need to carry a big box up the stairs, and although the box is not heavy, it is very big.Taking the stairs and walking more than ten floors is also very troublesome.

"How big is the floor space? Have you measured it?"

"..."

Tachibana Aya remained silent and tilted her head.

"Did you buy it without even measuring it!?"

Do you have any common sense?Is this really that genius?
“What if I can’t use it after buying it?”

"If you don't use it, you can return it. If you can't return it, just buy it again."

Even if you have money, you can't use it like this.Xia Zhi really wanted to say this to her, but it seemed that he didn't have the position.

"You're not really a young lady from a rich family, so you have to have a limit on using Money Power, okay?"

"Are you my mother?" Tachibana Aya curled her lips unhappily.

"Is it reasonable to spend money indiscriminately?" Xia Zhi glared at the kid from a rich family. People who are not in charge of the family are like this.

"Uh..." Tachibana was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "I want you to take care of it."

"Yes, yes. I just don't care."

Xia Zhi didn't care about her, squatted down and began to dismantle the boxes with shelves.

"Hmm...this should be an assembly cabinet, right? Tsk, it's the most troublesome one...too bad."

Xia Zhi took out the pink reinforced boards one by one from the huge box, which were used to insert the skeleton columns of the main structure, as well as some other large and small parts.

"What kind of cabinet did you buy? Is this shape really good? The instructions are very troublesome..."

Natsuki turned around to do his own thing, but Tachibana Aya didn't know what to say.It doesn't seem very interesting to be sulky alone.Just forget it.Tachibana Ayamoto is such a person.

"This is already the simplest style, if you choose from the styles I like."

"Isn't that troublesome enough?"

Xia Zhi complained, but he looked through the instructions and had a preliminary understanding of the final shape of the cabinet.As a veteran of assembling models, it will be much more convenient to assemble if you have a general understanding of the things to be assembled, because there are not many ways for Chinese high school students to relax. Except for games, for Xia Zhi Generally speaking, the best way to pass the time is to assemble models.

Starting from Lego bricks, to small and medium-sized Gundam models, and later to large-scale models with hundreds or thousands of parts, there are several in Xia Zhi's room in China, but the so-called high school students are not actually all It is a very rich creature, but the collection can only be said to be pitifully small compared to the enthusiasts.

"Xia Zhi. Has anyone told you that what you say and what you do are completely different?"

"I'm going back."

"Ah, I said nothing, nothing!"

Tachibana Aya also came and sat down opposite Xia Zhi, holding a partition in her hand, and asked Xia Zhi: "How to pretend?"

"If it is the type with nails, it will be easier to solve. This type of frame column requires a ring and a ring. Isn't there a ring next to the partition in your hand? There is also one on the side panel. And the side There are also card slots on the board, so you have to lock the partition first, then put the frame on, and finally tighten it and cover it.”

As Xia Zhi spoke, he held the partition and side panels in place. It was quite difficult to move his hands.Xia Zhi originally thought that one person could take over the entire assembly work, but it was obviously impossible.Seeing Tachibana Aya holding two boards and pressing them together with a click, Xia Zhi felt that it would be faster if she pretended to be alone.

Moreover, Tachibana Aya will add attributes to herself if she doesn't pay attention, which is really a bit caught off guard.But now that I think about it, I am afraid that the setting of the Aikido master has been completely confirmed.

Xia Zhi, who had installed two partitions, felt that she couldn't assemble it fast enough, so he gave her all the task of splicing the panels. He held the skeleton and was ready to cooperate with her in the assembly. Occasionally he saw her scurrying around. Sometimes I just mocked her a few words, and then went over to help. It was actually not particularly difficult to assemble it.The trouble is to figure out other things after the framework is completed.

Cabinet door panels, drawer boxes, clear plastic partitions, screws, etc... This is the real highlight.Although there are many repetitive steps, it is not as simple as practice makes perfect after repeated practice.

Xia Zhi carefully compared the positions of the parts and installed each component accurately. Although it took a lot of time, it was still smooth. If you are proficient, you can probably save a lot of time.Then he glanced at Tachibana Aya and thought he was going to die.

"Well... this is what it's like here..."

She thought hard and carefully matched the parts to where they should go, but Xia Zhi had just assembled the same large part, and he knew very well how big the gap was between the two parts that were supposed to be the same.And just as she was turning the screwdriver to make a "suitable" hole in the reinforced plate, Xia Zhi hurriedly told her to stop.

"Do you have any pretense like yours?"

"Eh? But the holes in this board are wrong. They're all off."

"It's all gone wrong, can't you think about who is the problem?"

Xia Zhi saw that the reinforced panel that was supposed to be the right cabinet door was violently transformed into the left cabinet door. In addition to feeling deeply beeping, Xia Zhi was also more or less surprised.Xia Zhi checked it and breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, the violently punched hole is on the inside. If the cabinet door is closed, the appearance will not be affected. Filling the hole with strong glue or the like should not be a big problem.

Xia Zhi pushed her aside and disassembled the parts she had assembled in a mess.

"If you're not good at this kind of thing, just call me. It's not like I won't help you."

Tachibana Aya sat on the bed with a complicated mood, took out a bag of potato chips from the snack bag on the floor, tore it open with both hands, and ate it.I have no choice but to take this kind of thing myself, and I am more or less unconvinced.After all, he is a person who is the protagonist's template, but he can't even handle such a trivial matter, which is a bit embarrassing.

"Are there any stickers? Black ones. It's okay if you don't have black ones. Bring me some ink, pen or glue. With luck, there's still a chance to remedy it."

As Natsuki disassembled it, the sound of eating snacks kept coming from the side. He couldn't help but look back at Tachibana Aya, who was sitting unmoved on the bed, with a tic-tac-toe popping up on his head.

"Forget it if you don't help, you're still eating snacks there. Do you want to be so mean?"

"Anyway, I can't help you much." She said, but she got up and found the sticker, then sat next to him and continued to eat potato chips, and her voice became louder and more arrogant.

"Don't make trouble." Xia Zhi pointed to the bed and asked her to go over there and eat, and then began to repair the minor artificial damage.It's amazing enough to be able to drill the reinforced plate into this by manpower.

Xia Zhi poured some super glue into the hole, making it slightly higher than the surface of the board. Then he tore off a small piece of sticker and stuck it on the hole.Because it is a sticker itself, it has a certain degree of stickiness. Just dip it in and smooth it out without worrying about it.The strong glue will solidify quickly in the holes, preventing multiple hollows in the reinforced panel and reducing its service life.Then repeat it one by one, and it will be repaired soon.This can only be regarded as a remedy.

After Natsuki had filled in a few holes, the sound of Tachibana Aya eating potato chips was still coming from behind.Xia Zhi didn't bother to care about her anymore.Unlike the time when I was at home, where I could listen to music while assembling the model, listening to music now would probably be disturbing, since I didn’t wear headphones after all.Not polite.

So Xia Zhi talked to Li Huacai.

"Don't come so close to me when you're eating. I don't have anything to eat. Aren't you trying to make people miserable?"

"There's a lot more in the bag over there. If you want to eat, just take it yourself."

Tachibana Aya does whatever you want.

"The hole is drilled so small, it's really troublesome. But I didn't expect you to have something you're not good at, and it's still in this area."

Xia Zhi only realized this when he came to this room yesterday, and he was not very impressed.The treasure pile piled in the corner of the room, although it looks miserable, there are many that are worth repairing. Most of them are minor injuries such as broken hands and feet, some are made of resin, and some are made of plastic.

The resin ones are okay. You can always find a way to stick them with strong glue. Most of the figures that Tachibana Aya repaired by herself were solid resin figures. Even if they were glued well, there were still one or two that had their limbs broken off after being inspected by Xia Zhi. Reworked.But the plastic hollow models are almost all made by Xia Zhidong.

The solid resin figures could be glued out of position when connected, and she was afraid that she couldn't even stick the hollow plastic figures together.That day, Xia Zhi also vaguely realized that this person who was so strong that he gave people an almost perfect impression was actually not good at this kind of detailed work.She may be patient, but she's not very good at this kind of work.

"I'm not! I just need to take a little more time."

She was sophistrying, and Xia Zhi didn't even bother to refute her.Continuing with your work, it might be more fun to assemble things by yourself rather than the awkward tachibana style.People always pay more for things they are interested in than for things they are not interested in.Although he is not like Tachibana Aya who can create an identity like an urban legend just because it is interesting, Natsuki also has his own interests.Although he will be crushed to death eventually, he can occasionally come out to watch the wind or something to show his presence.

As she ate the potato chips, Tachibana felt a little bored again.
