While thinking about it, Joel suddenly remembered her friend who lived across the street from her - Inaba Risa.
Speaking of which, Risa seems to have mentioned to her before that she is from Chiba, Japan...
"Have you decided where to go?" Bai Qiangwei put down her phone and asked casually.
"Whoo~"
Joel took a deep breath and said with firm eyes.
"I have decided to go to Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan."
I went to Risa's hometown. When Risa comes back during the holidays, maybe we can get together and relax together.
It’s better than going somewhere else that you’re not familiar with at all and don’t even have a single acquaintance.
"Go to Chiba..."
Bai Qiangwei held her chin and reminded in a lazy tone: "We are short of people in Japan. Although you are going to Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, the area you are actually responsible for is the entire Chiba County. You Are you sure it’s okay?”
"No problem!" Joel affirmed.
Now that we have reached this juncture, we must not back down anymore!
I decided on Chiba, Japan!
"Okay, then you can start preparations when you get back tonight. You will leave for Chiba, Japan around Saturday to take over the work of the local resource development officer."
"Well, I understand."
Joel nodded heavily.
After joining, the work was finalized, and the car became quiet.
After a while, Joel timidly asked: "Ms. Bai Qiangwei, what are we going to do next?"
"Go to our secret base, do a complete set of tests for you, and enter your information into our files. We will also give you a basic meditation method and a set of basic magic."
"Oh~ okay."
Joel nodded and said no more.
.........
On Friday, Joel got more specific news.
On the surface, she will go to Chiba as "Joel Blair" and take over a micro-medium store called "Sunday".
Secretly, she will also take over the codename and identity of the former store manager, the former resource development officer in the Japanese mysterious world.
In addition, the ticket has been delivered to her.
The flight time is [-] pm tomorrow, and it is expected to arrive at Chiba Narita International Airport in Japan nine hours later, which is [-] pm Eastern Time and [-] am Japan time the next day.
After confirming the itinerary, Joel made an appointment with Inaba Risa that night, preparing to say goodbye to her properly and ask about Chiba's situation.
.........
"I didn't expect you to go to Chiba, Joel. This is great. When I come back from vacation, we can go shopping together."
"Huh? Wait? What did you just say, Joel? What is the name of the second-hand store you want to take over? Say it again."
"Sunday?! Joel, are you sure it's Sunday!!"
After receiving Joel's reaffirmation, Inaba Risa suddenly stood up.
The next second, she hugged Joel and laughed.
"Okay, okay! Big...big drop, good!"
"Eh?" Joel looked at Inaba Risa with confusion, "Risa, why are you so excited?"
"Hehehe~ Joel, you don't have to run away now. The 'Sunday' store is just across the street from my nephew's house, and the straight-line distance is less than 200 meters."
"I was still worried about how to ask Joel to help me take care of my nephew before. Now I don't have to worry about it. It's only 200 meters away. Joel, you have to go and look after my nephew often."
"So that's what happened." Joel smiled gently, "Risa, don't worry, I will definitely help you take good care of your nephew."
Inaba Risa smiled heartily: "Okay, okay~ Joel, if you go, I don't have to worry about that kid going astray in his adolescence."
139. "Shimizu-kun, I can't eat any more (1/6)"
Saturday afternoon at 02:30, Qingshui's attic.
Yukinoshita was sitting at the table, concentrating on learning the basic knowledge of talismans.
"Yukishita, come down and eat."
At this moment, the sound of Qingshuiquan came from the corridor downstairs.
Yukinoshita was slightly startled, and a picture appeared in his mind involuntarily.
"Qingqiu, come to eat~"
"Brother, I'm coming right away."
Yukinoshita was silent and forgot to respond for a moment.
Qingshuiquan downstairs saw that Yukinoshita didn't respond for a long time, so she thought her voice was too soft and Yukinoshita didn't hear her.
He pressed the switch, put down the retractable stairs, climbed to the top of the stairs, looked at Yukinoshita's graceful back and called out.
"Yukishita, lunch is ready, come down and eat."
"..."
Listening to the voice behind him, Yukinoshita closed the book and replied calmly.
"Well, I understand, I'll be right away."
"Okay, that's fine."
After receiving the response, Qing Shuiquan didn't think much and returned to the corridor naturally.
"Whoo~"
In the attic, Yukinoshita took a deep breath, cleared away the distracting thoughts in her mind, and then left the attic with a calm expression.
In the corridor on the second floor, Qingshuiquan, who was leaning against the wall, looked at Yukinoshita who had climbed down from the telescopic stairs with a slightly subtle expression.
In the past few days, Yukino had always been wearing pants when she came to his house. The first two days, she was wearing jeans, which was nothing interesting.
Maybe it was because it was too hot today, so Yukinoshita changed into shorts. Looking at her slender calves, which were as white and tender as lotus joints, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of beauty Yukinoshita would look like if she wore short shorts.
With Yukinoshita's flawless and slender legs, they would probably be so white that it would make people dizzy.
It's a pity that I can only think about it. With Yukinoshita's traditional and conservative personality, she probably will never wear short shorts like that in her whole life.
"Pa-ta--"
As his thoughts flowed, Yukinoshita's small and exquisite feet had already stepped on the corridor on the second floor.
She looked at Qingshuiquan, as if asking where to go next.
Qing Shuiquan smiled slightly and led Yukinoshita to the living room on the first floor.
The living room on the first floor of his house is a combination living room and dining room. The front three-quarters of the area is the living room, with the furniture that should be placed in the living room, such as sofas, TVs, vertical air conditioners, etc.
The back quarter of the area is divided into a restaurant area, with a long dining table large enough to accommodate six people dining at the same time.
Arriving at the dining table on the first floor, Qing Shuiquan pointed to the ramen on the table and said.
"Today's lunch is Lanzhou Ramen. I hope you won't find it too simple Yukinoshita."
"When I'm at home, lunch is simpler than this."
With that said, Yukinoshita took the initiative to pull out her chair and sat down at the dining table.
"Oh? Is it simpler than this?"
Qingshuiquan also sat down. He looked at Yukinoshita and asked with interest: "Yukishita, can you tell me what you usually eat for lunch?"
"Sandwiches or rice balls. I don't have a good appetite at lunch, so I usually don't eat too much."
After answering, Yukinoshita picked up the chopsticks, clasped her hands together, and whispered.
"I'm gonna start now."
After finishing the pre-dinner ceremony, Yukinoshita picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, blew on it, and put it into his mouth very elegantly.
The noodles are chewy and smooth, the soup is mellow and delicious, and the taste is indeed familiar.
Seeing that Yukinoshita was already moving, Qingshuiquan didn't say anything more. He also picked up his chopsticks and ate his lunch slowly.
Soon after, Qing Shuiquan, who was the first to finish his meal, went to the kitchen and brought two plates of fruit salad.
These two plates of fruit salad were prepared first, but for the sake of taste, he deliberately put them in the refrigerator for a while.
On a hot summer day, it’s natural to have some refreshing fruit salad after a meal.
"And fruit salad?"
Xuexia, who was already eighty percent full, looked at the plate of salad brought by Qingshuiquan in confusion.
"To relieve tiredness after a meal, and to cool down." Qing Shuiquan smiled and put the fork next to Yukinoshita's hand.
"But...I'm already full." Yukinoshita said a little embarrassed.
"Hehehe~" Qing Shuiquan smiled, "For a beautiful girl, aren't sweets stored in another stomach?"
"...Qingshui-kun, do you also believe that ridiculous statement? That's just an excuse some girls make for themselves in order to eat sweets."
"Is it a ridiculous statement?" Qing Shuiquan said thoughtfully: "It seems that the sweet food ration for Fumino will be appropriately reduced in the future."
"..." Yukinoshita was startled for a moment, and then immediately said: "Qingshui-kun, please pretend that I have never said this."
"That's it, haven't you said it before? Of course there's no problem, it's just..."
Qingshuiquan looked at Xuexia with a gentle smile, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Hmm~" Yukinoshita glanced at the fruit salad in front of her and said with some embarrassment: "Shimizu-kun, this salad is a bit too much. I may not be able to finish it."
"It's okay, just forget it if you can't finish it. I'm not a devil and I won't force you to finish it."
Hearing what Qing Shuiquan said, Yukinoshita felt relieved.
Immediately, she picked up her fork and savored the salad made by Qing Shuiquan.
Feeling the cool fruit blooming in her mouth, Yukinoshita was a little confused as to why Qingshuiquan insisted on her eating fruit salad.
Are you concerned about her?Or do you simply not want your efforts to go to waste?
Yukinoshita thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out Qingshuiquan's idea, and finally had no choice but to give up.
After a while, Yukinoshita asked seemingly unintentionally.
"Shimizu-kun, aren't you going out to eat with Furuhashi-san on the weekend?"
Qing Shuiquan, who was enjoying a salad, casually replied: "Fumino doesn't really want to go out on weekends. He just wants to hide at home and read books and watch movies. Going out to eat is too troublesome, so we usually don't go out on weekends."
"Is that so..."
Yukinoshita didn't ask any more questions. She put down her fork and said to Qingshui Quan, "Qingshui-kun, I'm full."
Qingshuiquan casually glanced at the plate in front of Yukinoshita, and there was probably about a third of it left.
"Okay, then Yukinoshita, you go to the attic and continue studying. I will come up as soon as I finish clearing the dishes."
"Please leave the tableware cleaning to me." Yukinoshita stood up and began to collect the tableware.
"Wait a minute." Qing Shuiquan stopped her at the right time, "There's no reason to ask the guests to wash the dishes. I'll do it."
"..." Yukinoshita looked at Qingshuiquan expressionlessly, "Qingshui-kun, you did the same thing at my house last time."
"Uh..." Qing Shuiquan was speechless.
After a while, Qing Shuiquan scratched his head and said helplessly: "Then let's go together."
"OK."
The two of them quickly collected the tableware.
Arriving in the kitchen, Yukinoshita took the remaining salad and asked, "Shimizu-kun, what should I do with the remaining salad?"
"Put it in the refrigerator for dessert after dinner."
"Well, I understand."
