Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 528 Didn't You Bring an Umbrella?
Xia Zhi stood inside the counter wearing her school uniform, which felt a bit strange.Although this is not the first time, it seems that it has been almost a year since I wore this outfit to work in the store.

At the suggestion of the store manager, Xia Zhi found a comb and combed her hair. She looked less like a girl. Then the store manager himself couldn't bear the pressure of eyes from all directions in the store, especially Tachibana Aya's vicious look. With a look in her eyes, she walked out of the store with Mayumi, who had just arrived home from work.

Natsuki was cooking dinner for Tachibana Aya, and at the same time boiling a pot of water for herself to take medicine later.But Tachibana Aya seemed to be here specifically to oppose her. As Xia Zhi was cutting vegetables, he heard a sneeze coming from behind him. Xia Zhi had to turn his head and take a look.

Then he saw Tachibana Aya looking at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

"You asked me what's wrong? Were you sneezing just now?"

"No, no one was sneezing? Why didn't I hear it?" Tachibana Aya looked around, and finally looked at Xia Zhi, with a worried look on her face: "Are you tired, or are you hallucinating? . You need to have a good rest when you go back."

Tachibana Aya's operation confused Xia Zhi, and Xia Zhi began to suspect that she was indeed hearing hallucinations due to a cold. When she was about to turn her head, she suddenly saw Tachibana Aya's expression changed.

It was an expression of someone who was almost unable to hold it in anymore and was holding it back forcibly. One moment he was on the verge of reaching the limit, and the next moment nothing happened. He repeated this many times, but in the end, he probably couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ah!"

On this planet, although there are different ethnic groups and different genders, there are always things that are exactly the same. For example, when everyone laughs, they all say "hahahahaha", and when they sneeze, they all say "ah sneeze". It's amazing.

Xia Zhi held his hands and looked at the guy who almost deceived him, and sneered.

Tachibana Aya looked embarrassed, and her eyes were rolling, as if she was thinking of an excuse.

"Am I just too tired that I not only had auditory hallucinations but also hallucinations?"

"Ah, that's right. Xia Zhi, you really should take a good rest. Being so tired is irresponsible to your body."

Tachibana Aya should not be so naive as to think that this is Natsuki giving her a chance to borrow money from her. What she did was just talking nonsense regardless of rationality.Of course Xia Zhi has a way to punish her.

"Yeah, I think I'm very tired too. Otherwise, forget it today. You go to the convenience store and buy something to eat. I'll prepare it for you tomorrow."

"No!" Tachibana Aya puffed her lips and leaned on the counter: "You know how to use this to threaten people."

"Whatever it is, it's easy to use, right? Go buy something for yourself, and I'll take a rest." Xia Zhi looked at her, and Tachibana Aya, as expected, bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, it's me. I have a cold, please don’t let such a lovely girl die like this.”

She was always boasting when she admitted her mistake, so Xia Zhi had nothing to do with her.Just as the water was almost boiling, he poured her a cup of hot water and placed the medicine he was going to take in front of her: "Take the medicine when the water gets colder. Do you hear me?"

"...Why do you still bring medicine with you?" Li Huacai said with a bitter face, "It's just a cold, it's fine to go home and rest, don't you need to take medicine?"

"Stop talking nonsense. This medicine is not bitter, so take it quickly."

"The water isn't cold yet. Let's wait until after we finish eating."

Xia Zhi thought about it and decided that this was good, so he took the medicine back.

???

"I'll give you the medicine after dinner, otherwise you just throw it away and throw it somewhere. I don't have much medicine for you."

Tachibana Aya's face was filled with shock and anger as her plan was revealed: "Tachibana-sama wouldn't do that kind of thing! Can't you have some confidence in me?"

Xia Zhi hesitated: "No."

Tachibana Aya choked, her expression became stiff, and she was speechless.Xia Zhi turned around and continued to cook dinner. It didn't take much time to make two simple dishes. In addition, the most time-consuming rice had been prepared in advance. In about 10 minutes, Tachibana Aya saw what he had been waiting for. dinner.

"Eat it. After you finish eating, take the medicine by the way." Putting the medicine next to the water cup, Xia Zhi turned around and took a cup and poured himself a cup of hot water. Although it was of limited use to him, it could help him It would also be nice to be warmer.

I have to buy cold medicine when I go back later.

Xia Zhi took a rest, and there were no more customers in the store. Everyone who should go back had gone back. Except for Tachibana Aya, there was only one customer who was still hiding from the rain. Her junior high school uniform Xia Zhi did not Feel familiar.However, the rain has not stopped even now, and she seems a little worried. Xia Zhi has no impression of her. She is probably just a guest who comes to take shelter from the rain.

Xia Zhi stayed quietly at the counter, hoping that the rain would be less severe. After all, I would wear my clothes tomorrow morning, and it would be a little troublesome to wash them again and dry them with a hair dryer.

After a while, the last customer stood up and walked towards the store door.Xia Zhi didn't see her holding an umbrella, which was probably what worried her the most.

Natsuki thought for a while and asked Tachibana Aya if there were any other umbrellas in the house. She nodded: "Yes, there are usually two or three spare ones for umbrellas, sun umbrellas and the like, right?"

Although Xia Zhi doesn't know which mysterious country's standard the general standard is based on, he can finally use it.

"Guest, please wait a moment." Xia Zhi shouted, and the girl who looked like a junior high school student turned her head and looked at Xia Zhi with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you bring an umbrella?"

"Hmm..." The other party nodded sheepishly, and then seemed to realize something, and waved his hand quickly: "Ah, don't worry about me, it's not far from home anymore, it's just a short run away."

"It's raining so heavily. It's easy to get sick if you don't use an umbrella."

Natsuki waved his hand in front of Tachibana Aya, and Tachibana Aya, who was enjoying her meal, came back to her senses, then took the umbrella placed there from her feet, and ran all the way to the girl: "Come here. However, the umbrella surface is not very large, so be careful not to get wet when using it.”

"Ah. Thank you very much. I'll send the umbrella in a moment."

"No, just return it to me tomorrow." Tachibana winked at her crazily.

The girl was still a little confused, but when she saw Xia Zhi looking over here, she suddenly came to her senses.Then a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, I will send the umbrella over after school tomorrow afternoon. Thank you very much."

Tachibana patted the girl on the shoulder: "Go now."

The girl left with a smile.
