Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 237 42 Coffee Shop
Nishimiya Ruri walked up quickly and helped the girl who fell on the sofa.

After getting closer, she found more people lying on the ground.

The beautiful and lovely maids were covered with ash, and the white katyusha was also dusty.

"How long have they been here?"

"About three or four days." Xia Tingfei looked at the girls.

The title "Wandering Doll" above the heads of these girls is preceded by the label "Imminent Death".

[Maybe they are abandoned dolls, or it’s okay to call them balls.After all, you always get kicked around.They were thrown here because of someone. 】

[Perhaps, this is what they want - death.Even in death from hunger and thirst.Just like the friends who have passed away. 】

"Maybe they haven't eaten or drank for a long time."

The lips of the girls were all dry and peeling, and turned white.

"Follow me, I know where the kitchen is."

Ichinose Qingyue greeted the other girls, and Umichi Mochi and Hinazuki Kana followed Ichinose Qingyue.

"The cafe is divided into two floors." Ichinose Qingyue led the way and said: "The first floor is divided, and a part of the small space is decorated as the front desk. The other part of the space is It is closed and can only be entered from the second floor.”

"The second floor is the lobby and kitchen of the cafe. The first floor is the dormitory and some other functional rooms, and the basement below is a storage place."

She said carefully, and led the two girls to the end of the corridor at the end of the hall, where there was a same spiral staircase leading down to the girls' dormitory.

"The buildings around this building all belong to the boss. These corridors are connected to the buildings next to it."

To the left is the kitchen, to the right is the room with the door tightly closed.

The three girls came to the kitchen, rolling up their sleeves and wearing gloves and aprons.

Water and electricity are available, and there are some shelf-stable potatoes and radishes in the refrigerator, and dried kelp and fungus are also stored in the warehouse.

A few girls discussed it for a while and decided to make some miso soup for those girls first to prevent accidents.

Hinazuki Kana was chopping radishes, Ichinose Kiyuki was preparing the soup, and Umishio was soaking kelp with seaweed chips and washing the radishes.

The three people had a clear division of labor, and none of them felt tired or dissatisfied.

But Hinazuki Kana suddenly asked, "Ichinose."

"Ok?"

"What are you going to do? These girls."

Ichinose Qingyue was a little stunned. She just thought about it and blurted out, "I can't leave them alone."

"We all know that you can't give up on them, and the same goes for Nishimiya Ruri. You all have a deep relationship with this place. But, what are you going to do? Are you going to cook every day?"

Ichinose Qingyue fell silent under Hinazuki Kana's inquiry.

Seeing this, Hinazuki Kana just said: "Think about it carefully."

Xia Tingfei was observing everywhere in the coffee shop, but he didn't feel the presence of Qujian Ai.

It doesn't have that disgusting smell, just a normal dry smell.

Xia Tingfei had a guess in his mind - maybe it was the people from the Public Security Bureau who moved them here from the nursing home.

So what is the purpose?

As soon as this question came to his mind, Xia Tingfei almost burst into laughter.

Do you still need to think about this kind of problem?

Of course it's because of love between songs.

Perhaps, old man Sakuma thought that since Qujama loved to go back to find these girls, he would release these girls.

Love between songs will appear again.

This possibility may exist.

But how do you make sure that love between songs exists here?

Xia Tingfei walked to the window next to the street and looked outside.

The crowds coming and going don't seem to be repetitive, but as long as you look carefully, you can always see someone looking vaguely towards here.

While other tourists turned a blind eye to the cafe, they were extremely conspicuous.

Xia Tingfei didn't have the patience to look for the plainclothes hiding inside, so he just casually observed through the tags above his head.

"One, two, three, four..."

Xia Tingfei silently calculated that the following plainclothes men were rotating, but there were always four plainclothes men staring at the coffee shop at the same time.

After getting the results, Xia Tingfei wiped the chairs next to the bar and sat on them to wait.

Nishimiya Ruri quickly calmed down the sluggish girls and asked them to sit down one by one.

The layout of the coffee shop is divided into two parts. The part near the window only has round wooden tables. The white wooden tables are used to enjoy coffee under the warm sun.

In front of the bar, there are small spaces surrounded by sofas, which is great when many people come together.

Nishimiya Ruri struggled to drag the girls to the sofa, and then found Sugino Natsumi among all the girls.

Natsumi Sugino still looked half-dead.

The girl was a little angry. She couldn't bear the fact that the head maid who should have taken the responsibility did nothing and allowed her juniors to become such pitiful looks one by one.

"Sugino!"

She pushed Sugino Natsumi's shoulders and shook her vigorously: "Sugino, are you just going to keep going like this! Are you ignoring the other juniors? They are all going to die."

The voice was very stern. Xia Tingfei had never seen Xi Gong Liuli with such a voice.

It looked like she was already furious.

"You are here waiting for Qujian Ai. Did she tell you that she would come back?" Xia Tingfei said casually.

Natsumi Sugino, who had been motionless at first, finally made some movement like a robot that had been powered on.

"It was Sheriff Sakuma who told us that as long as we wait here, she will definitely appear." Natsumi Sugino said softly, "Although, there are only a dozen of us."

Most of the girls in these friendship clubs were sent back to their homes.

Only the remaining few were sent to nursing homes - their parents did not welcome them at all, and even expressions of disgust were nakedly displayed on their faces.

"This kind of guy can no longer be regarded as our child."

They once said this answer.

"Sheriff Sakuma——" Nishimiya Ruri murmured, with a complicated meaning.

She couldn't comment on the Sheriff, she could only look at Sugino Natsumi: "If you die, you won't see Ai Quma come again."

"Perhaps, the boss will come here only after we die." Sugino Natsumi's voice was weak and low.

"We are no longer needed."

——That’s what she said.

They are indeed unwanted people.

Xia Tingfei thought this in his heart. Ever since their nest was overturned by the Public Security Bureau, they were like dead remnants.If possible, Xia Tingfei wouldn't care about these girls.

But unfortunately, the girls around him cared very much about these dead remnants.

Xia Tingfei sat in front of the bar and thought silently - how to solve the problems of these girls without getting into big trouble, or in other words, postpone the problems of these girls for the time being.

After a while, Ichinose Qingyue brought many bowls of miso soup over.

The miso soup with radish and kelp floating in it radiated heat, but the girls, who should have been hungry, ignored it.

Nishimiya Ruri and Ichinose Qingyue were constantly persuading, trying to get these girls to eat.

However, to no avail.

Just like stone sculptures - even stone sculptures are far happier than these girls. At least the stone sculptures don't have any pain or loneliness.

For these girls, it is a blessing.

She is really as weak as a dodder. If she has no support, she will never have the same backbone as before.

It's really upsetting.

Xia Tingfei knocked on the table: "If this store can be reopened, Qu Jian Ai should be attracted to it."

"Really?" Sugino Natsumi asked urgently with flashes in her eyes.

This is a lie. The devil knows what reason that damn Qujian Ai would use to come here.

If the entire building was wrapped in human skin, maybe it would be able to attract her.

But this kind of crazy idea is destined not to appear in the world.

"What do you think?"

Xia Tingfei asked Sugino Natsumi.

This girl was staring at Xia Tingfei. She knew Xia Tingfei.

She had heard this name from her boss.

If it was Xia Tingfei, he should be able to believe it.

Involuntarily, she thought this.

"Everything in the cafe is very complete. It won't be too difficult to reopen the cafe." Natsumi Sugino said quickly: "The only troublesome thing is the purchase channel. Before, it was always opened by a man. He comes by car to deliver goods. But I don’t know him very well. Because we have never communicated. We need to find a suitable purchase channel again.”

"We still have enough for one month's use in the warehouse, so we have enough time to do this."

The more she spoke, the happier she became, and her voice was extremely passionate.

"The only problem is how to obtain the ownership of the store from the Public Security Bureau. After the last thorough investigation by the Public Security Bureau, this store was guarded by the Public Security Bureau. Even now, there are several people outside A plainclothes police officer. Even though they thought they were hiding well, I could still feel them."

Natsumi Sugino smiled chicly.

Several girls stared dumbfoundedly at the girl who originally looked like a stone sculpture, but turned out to be so handsome.

Hinazuki Kana also whispered to Xia Tingfei quietly: "Was my previous change as big as this?"

At the beginning, you looked so desperate and cold that you would never have the rest of your life. How could you be as gentle as you are now?

Xia Tingfei's eyes told Hinazuki Kana the answer.

Let Chu Yue give Xia Tingfei an angry look.

It was like some powerful force descended from the sky, pouring courage and hope into the girl's spine.

Xia Tingfei observed De Sugino Natsumi, she straightened her bent waist and held her chin high.

Ichinose Kiyosuki was very happy about Sugino Natsumi's change. She said, "Welcome back, head maid."

This word made Natsumi Sugino's face darken: "After all, I don't know if this store can be opened."

"When the Sheriff sent you back, didn't he tell you accurate information about this store? For example, would you be allowed to continue to open the store?"

"No." Natsumi Sugino answered sadly.

This word seemed to echo endlessly in this dusty space.

A little bit of despair gradually spread.

Her straightened spine slowly bent again, and her head hung low.

She has to transform from a dashing maid to a stone sculpture.

Ichinose Qingyue looked at Xia Tingfei as if asking for help. Xia Tingfei frowned: "If you apply to the Public Security Bureau, you should be able to get approval for this store."

Maybe this is what old man Sakuma is looking forward to.

He may have chosen to do this because of what he said before.

——It’s self-defeating.

"Really?" Natsumi Sugino couldn't believe it.

The people from the Public Security Bureau destroyed this place once, how could they continue to let it continue to open?
"You can choose not to believe it."

Xia Tingfei's words were firm.

Nishinomiya Liuli looked at Xia Tingfei with some worry, and said, "Is there anything we can do for you?"

"No."

He shook his head indifferently, making Nishimiya Liuli feel a little sad.

But Nishimiya Ruri cheered up again and said to Sugino Natsumi: "Maid maid, let the other sisters eat something first. No matter what, if you die, you won't be able to see Qujama Ai. of."

She originally wanted to persuade her with the words - no matter how she lives, there is hope.

But the words couldn't be said before they came out - these sisters ended up in this situation because they couldn't survive and couldn't see hope.

Using words like that to comfort him was just teasing.

So, Nishimiya Liuli changed his mind.

"Maybe." Natsumi Sugino said in a low voice.

But fortunately, she picked up the miso soup and swallowed it slowly. The soft radish and kelp were very suitable for people who have been hungry for a long time.

The salty soup made strength surge from her body.

After finishing the bowl of miso soup, she said: "This store can really reopen. Boss, can it really come back?"

"maybe."

Xia Tingfei said this again.

Natsumi Sugino straightened her spine and raised her chin.

"Get to work quickly, girls!" She grabbed other girls lying on the sofa or standing in the corner: "The store is already covered with dust, and you have forgotten your responsibilities as maids. ! We have to deal with it cleanly before the boss comes back."

She was so cool that she blew away the other girls.

Just as Xia Tingfei thought - maybe someone really put courage into this girl's body, making her as chic as she is now.

——Unfortunately, that person is Qujian Ai.
