Chapter 168 The East Wind Has Come
"Ah... so bitter."

The hedgehog-headed boy was just patting his stomach contentedly feeling the improvement of living conditions, and today's relative smoothness, and the next moment he was taught to be a man by life.

For the specific situation, just look at the opened can of "Super Concentrated 500% Hell Curry Bitter Gourd Juice" in his hand, and the distorted expression under the irritating taste, and you can probably know what's going on.

"..."

Mu Xiu lowered his head thoughtfully, looked at the can of "Strawberry Kanto Cooking" in his hand, raised his brows, then decisively raised his hand and swept it into the trash can together with the napkin on the table up.

"Although I let you decide for yourself, you don't have to fight like this, Kamijou..." Slowly packing up the takeaway package, Mu Xiu slightly leaned his back on the rotating chair in a very leisurely posture, "This This kind of thing is purely a waste of money, although I don't mind reimbursement, but I don't plan to drink this kind of thing..."

"It's so bitter that tears are about to come out..."

With a distorted expression, Kamijou Touma glanced around, but found that there was no place for him to spit out that mouthful of drink in the store, so he could only swallow it with all his strength.After completing such a simple, insignificant action, his whole body turned gray, and something like a soul slipped out of his mouth.

After another full minute, the hedgehog barely came back to life. He grinned and said with a mournful face, "This is because the nearby vending machine broke down. I just put money in it and it fell out." , how could I let you choose..."

Academy City is also an "Experimental City"

The "commodities" manufactured in countless universities and research institutions need to be "actually tested"-so the entire city is full of experimental products, such as automatic food waste disposal machines, self-operating security robots, and so on.The products displayed in convenience stores and vending machines are also different from those in other cities...

"...It is true to say so, but I really want to ask these decision makers, haven't they ever thought that we are also consumers who also spend money to buy things?" After explaining why such a thing happened, Shang The boy stood up with a bitter face, but couldn't help complaining.

Then he staggered towards the drinking fountain not far away.

"...there is already a takeaway delivery, will there be any problems if you just ask him to buy a drink?" Mu Xiu squeezed his chin, looked at Kamijou Touma's bleak back, and muttered in a low voice.

Although he didn't feel much about the wonder of fate, the guy in front of him had another person, and the misfortune of being cursed at that critical moment still made people feel deeply sympathetic.

At this moment, Mu Xiu seemed to be aware of something, he frowned and looked out the door, his eyes seemed to see further away through layers of barriers.Then he withdrew his gaze and glanced at the computer screen on the counter table again. After confirming the current time, he stood up without hesitation.

"Kamijou, you can go back at nine o'clock in the evening. Remember to close the door, window and switch off... I have something to do tonight. You can check the hotel yourself. I have told you about the precautions."

"Uh, oh, okay, please leave it to me, store manager!"

The young man with the hedgehog head who was holding up the cup and pouring water fiercely looked back, then immediately turned around and waved his slightly muscular arms vigorously, promising: "I will definitely do this well. ,Do not worry!"

...It's what you said that made me feel worried!
"..." The young man had a strange expression on his face, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

If it is Ayazaki Sa, although he is also a "cursed person", but because his parents are not doing business and his family is poor, he has developed all-round physical skills in various black and white areas and gray areas since he was a child. An extraordinary level of housework skills and a speed that is so ferocious that it almost breaks free from the shackles of the earth's gravity.

It is estimated that becoming a Heroic Spirit after death can satisfy the employment needs of Berserker or Rider at the same time...

Even if you leave it to him, you can't get rid of the influence of bad things happening again and again caused by the low luck value, but the passive EX-level universal butler is enough for him to at least not make mistakes.

——Take looking at the store as an example. The debtor steward will definitely encounter a series of accidents during this period, but the store itself will generally not have any problems, and he can manage it very well, because the bad luck is basically aimed at him personally. And go.

But Kamijou Touma...

It is also the lucky attribute that fell out of the alphabet, but except for Fantasy Killer's special attack on "supernatural power", the hedgehog itself has no conventional universal ability to deal with most emergencies.Let's take the punks as the standard combat unit. He himself once said, "One-on-one wins, one-on-two is a bit dangerous, and one-on-three has to run away."

If there are suspicious legends such as "three gangsters abused as mothers" in urban legends, probably Hamazura Shiage, Komaba Ritoku, and Hattori Hanzo will all claim responsibility for this incident.

It is also because of this that Mu Xiu is not at ease, because the combat power is only about [-] times that of a young man with a hedgehog head, not only has a special physique to attract bad luck, but also has no ability to control the impact of unfortunate events caused by bad luck live……

So he was a little worried, what if he only saw a place of ruins after he came back?
"..."

"..."

"Well, store manager, I'm under a lot of pressure with your eyes..." Kamijou Touma said in a cold sweat, and protested weakly.

"Forget it, anyway, I'm not short of money, so let's do it!" He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then Mu Xiu raised his head and left such a sentence inexplicably. Stepping forward, he reached out and patted the other person's shoulder.

Kamijou Touma: "..."

Watching the black-haired boy turn around and take the terminal into his jacket pocket, he took a deep breath because he didn't understand the hedgehog head, and somehow felt that the other party was like an NPC who entrusted him with the task of saving the world. He had no choice but to do so Believe.

But when he hadn't recovered from the endless words before, an inspiration flashed in his mind.

This made Kamijou Touma raise his head subconsciously, and shouted: "Wait, manager, if there is really any special situation...I mean, accident or something...what should I do?"

No, that's right!That's it, he finally knows what the source of his uneasiness has been, it's because of his super confidence in his unfortunate physique involved in an accident!

In case something troublesome really happens, what should I do if I am the only one present, otherwise the matter will become more and more troublesome!Kamijou Touma, who immediately figured out what he was worried about, couldn't wait to ask clearly what he should do to be correct in that situation——

So as not to get into more and more trouble and responsibility.

"This, it's all in the precautions, and you are a high school student anyway, don't you know how to adapt to any accident?" Mu Xiu had already walked to the door and said without looking back, "Don't worry, don't worry. , even if the house is burned down or turned into ruins, I won't blame you..."

The house is on fire!Turned into ruins!

This sentence caused Kamijou Touma's heart to beat wildly. Thinking of such serious consequences, he didn't feel that the other party was telling the truth.How could he not blame himself for such a major accident and mistake, so he just said in a hurry: "But, but, if this is really the case, how should I inform you?"

"Then there are discipline committee members and security guards. They just look at the store at night. What are you worried about? There will always be a call to the police..."

"No! Manager, I'm serious!" Kamijou finally became anxious, and rushed over to grab the other's shoulder, "After all, there are always things that must be notified to you. At that time, I should How did I find you!"

Without the final guarantee, without the final endorsement from the other party, he always felt that he couldn't relax no matter what.

Mu Xiu turned his head, frowned, and then sighed.He said: "At that time, you can send me an email, if not... I will reply to you."

"Uh, can't you just make a phone call?" The hedgehog-haired boy was a little puzzled, "If it's just an email, what should I do if something goes wrong?"

"I may not be able to answer the phone. I have something to do tonight..." The black-haired boy said young, and then slowly pulled Kamijou Touma's arm away, "But don't worry, I really won't blame you, this bookstore No matter what, it doesn't matter, if you like it, I can give it to you directly—but it is estimated that you will lose it completely for various reasons within two days."

Mu Xiu directly made a joke, but it can become real at any time.

The twilight glow reflected on his side face, outlining a very relaxed, as if pretending to be relaxed arc, reflecting a completely different temperament from the past.

Kamijou Touma was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the corner of the other party's clothes had just disappeared at the corner of the opposite street.

He could feel that the other party was not joking, but replied to him seriously, but this not only did not make him relax, but also made his heart beat suddenly for no reason.He desperately recalled the feeling just now, and he always felt that he had caught something.

It's like... It's like... The other party is walking into the darkness without looking back?

This feeling is a bit familiar, when did I see it?By the way, this scene seems to have been seen on TV, it is almost like going to participate in some battle, and then there is no chance to come back.

"No, it's not right, it should be an illusion, maybe I've been under too much pressure recently and always think wildly..."

Kamijou Touma became short of breath, he smiled reluctantly, trying to convince himself that he was thinking too much, "But if it is true... something should be done, if it is not possible, just let it go!"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Misaka Mikoto, who did not know when she appeared, curiously waved her hands in front of Kamijou Touma, and then she looked past him and quickly searched around the store.

"Ah, um, Bilibili...why are you here?" At this moment, the hedgehog-haired boy saw the three blades of the windmill shining in the setting sun, turning in the opposite direction.

His thoughts were interrupted, and his smile was a bit far-fetched. Looking at the group of people behind the tea-haired girl, he suddenly felt that he had found a reasonable explanation.If the boy who was the store manager just now had noticed Bilibili's arrival in advance and decided to go out to avoid it, then he would suddenly be able to accept it.

After all, playing junior high school students is really annoying!

"What's your name!" Misaka Mikoto's bangs on her forehead flashed a bluish-white electric light, but it seemed that she had considered the previous compensation, so she restrained herself from directly discharging.

"Get out of the way, what are you doing blocking the road!"

"Oh oh oh——" Hedgehog hurriedly stepped aside and let the door open, he was pleasantly surprised, Bilibili didn't have an attack?Does this mean that as long as he is here in the future, he will be able to avoid this troublesome humanoid Pikachu?

Ho Ho Ho, if this is the case, I am willing to do it here even if I pay for it!
Although he said that he had no money to pay back.
