I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

"Then you go ahead, I'm going to be late, take my leave."

The man calmly carried the noodles he bought

Bao passed by everyone, while the clerk behind the checkout warmly waved goodbye to Nanami.

"Thank you, welcome to visit next time, Mr. Jianren~"

After these words, it was obvious that Qihai's steady footsteps were chaotic for a moment, and then significantly accelerated.

He disappeared at the corner of the flow of people and the street.

...Wait, what was her name Qihai just now?

Mr. Jianren? !

With a clatter, everyone who realized this immediately swarmed up and surrounded the cashier counter, with gossip shining in their eyes, Wutiao Wu was the worst among them.

"Miss clerk, are you familiar with that gentleman?"

"—Are you familiar with it!" Nagasaki squeezed his head in.

The lady clerk seemed to have never seen such a battle, she took a half step back in a daze, with an awkward smile on her face, and scratched her cheek.

"Ah... that... Actually, I'm not very familiar...!"

stare--

"Really... not very familiar..."

Watch again-

"Hmm... It's just that I received a little help from Nanami-san before, it's really nothing!"

The clerk's cheeks were almost flushed, and she repeatedly emphasized that there was no further relationship between the two.

Not convincing at all.

Chapter 174 is like the cream on the cake

However, this is not a problem for those who are full of gossip. Under the double offensive of Gojo Satoru's stalking and Cheng Rang and Isabella's decision to order an expensive birthday cake here, the shop assistant finally let go.

At that time, Qihai didn't seem to have joined the high school to become a conjurer, but a member of a company, commonly known as a social animal.

This point has no conflict with his setting of working hard to beat workers.

Isabella and Nagasaki nodded again and again, chatting with the clerk, behind Cheng Rang and Gojo Satoru were "fighting" with the plastic forks left after the free trial like bear children, imitating " piupiu~ wash you!" Such a sound effect.

Xiaomo was drooling on the display case holding the birthday cake, while Yoshino smiled helplessly and wiped the glass wet with her saliva with the tissue paper she carried with her.

It seemed that only the knotweed was carefully pinching his chin to choose a birthday cake for Fu Hei.

"...How about this strawberry flavored one? It's better to use jam to write 'Happy Birthday Hui Hui~' or something on it. No, no, just use chocolate sauce to draw his profile picture...then The head of the vice sea urchin would be really funny if it was drawn...."

As if imagining Fushiguro's despairing Sima face when he saw the cake with his Q-version avatar painted on it, Hezhuang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Abnormal....It's better to say that none of this group of people is normal!

"I didn't start working here, but at another bakery...."

The shop assistant recalled the past.

"Hmm, then what?"

"Mr. Qihai seems to like a French sandwich very much, almost... no, every time he passes by on the way to work, he will come in to buy it."

The two met each other at that time, although they didn't know their names, and they didn't have any intersection at all except checkout and welcome.

But the clerk felt that such a mature man must be very reliable.

At a time when she had forgotten which day it was, Qihai still only bought that type of sandwich. Maybe it was because the clerk hadn't slept well recently, so she expressed some concern to Qihai who had dark circles under her eyes.

"Are you all right? Have you had a good rest?"

He didn't answer, but just stared at himself and said, "...it's you, you look very tired."

"Ah, can you see it? Recently, I always feel that my shoulders are heavy, and I haven't slept well..." The clerk moved her shoulders and tapped the sore place.

Only today, I don't know what the man in front of me was thinking, he suddenly said a lot of words, which made the clerk feel strange and also a little incomprehensible.

"My job is basically to get rich people to hand us their money, and we make them even richer. Honestly, without me, no one bothers. But if there's no bread People who want to eat bread will be troubled. But for some reason, my job, which has little to do with other people's lives, makes more money. It's strange to think about it calmly..."

"Are you showing off...!?"

"No."

Looking at the weak curse spirit entangled on the clerk's shoulder, Nanami seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"Can...can you take a step forward?" He asked the clerk.

"What's the matter?" Although she was puzzled, the clerk followed suit and took a step forward.

brush!

As if chopping something with her hands, Nanami's waving knife created a breeze in front of the clerk.

"Shoulders, how do you feel?"

After regaining consciousness, facing a series of strange things Qihai did to her, the shop assistant suddenly started to move her brisk shoulders and body.

"Hey, ah...eh?! So light..."

"If you still feel disobedient, go to the hospital and leave." Qi Hai turned her head and walked away peacefully, leaving calmly as usual.

The bell at the door of the store rang for the second time, and the shop assistant chased him out for the first time.

"Please wait!"

Seven

The sea did not stop.

"Thank you—! Please come again!"

“…”

"Ah? Didn't you hear...?" The clerk raised her voice again, "Thank you——! Please! Come again next time!"

【thanks. 】

Originally, Qihai thought that she was someone who had nothing to do with [value of survival].

But if in this shitty job, I can occasionally hear this [thank you] again....

Can you also feel a little bit happier, or more relaxed?

After all, I have never heard such thanks for the so-called work of serving the rich.

From the bottom of my heart, but only to myself because of something trivial - thank you.

Opening her phone, she selected the contact named "Gojo Satoru" and pressed the dial button.

"Hey, this is Qihai, I have something to say in person."

"...Well, I'm going to the high school tomorrow."

Facing the voice on the phone, Qihai frowned slightly.

"--Why are you laughing?"

......

"I didn't expect Mr. Nanami's opportunity to become a magician is so common..."

Gojo Satoru came up and raised his hand and said, "I can testify that this is indeed the case. On a very ordinary day, I usually answered the phone call of that ordinary office worker... and then it was done."

"Ordinary office workers...?" Cheng Rang casually threw the plastic fork into the trash can, and pinched his chin: "It sounds very powerful."

The clerk then smiled, and continued, "It's true that Mr. Qihai hasn't been to the previous store much after that, but [Sorcerer]? What's the latest new job on the Internet?"

"Ahhhhh...! Well...that's it, haha..." Everyone realized that they had accidentally spilled the beans and quickly covered each other up.

After all, the sorcerer, even if you tell it to ordinary people, they can't understand it.

"You seem to be very familiar with Mr. Qihai, are you also his colleagues?" The clerk politely didn't ask any more questions about the magician, but related to other things—such as Mr. Qihai's interpersonal relationship.

"Well, sort of..."

"Did Qi Haihai buy bread here recently?" Knotweed seemed to have decided on the style of the cake, and came over.

Isabella turned her head and noticed Yoshino's embarrassing situation, and walked over with her hips on her hips like a parent, while saying, "Don't cause trouble for others, come down quickly."

"Chocolate cake... so big!"

The clerk first smiled and said to Isabella, who nodded and apologized to her, that it was okay, and then said: "Yes, because I saw Mr. Qihai passing by the store by chance recently, the previous store was closed due to unexpected circumstances, so I was transferred. Come here."

"Uh, Miss Clerk, your previous store is not right here..."

"In Shibuya, it's not far from here, but most of the businesses over there have started to renovate."

"terribly sorry..."

"Huh? Why did the guest say that?"

"No, nothing."

The clerk felt strange about the behavior of these Mr. Nanami's friends, and smiled a little shyly: "So seeing Mr. Nanami again makes me feel very destined...so I deliberately—"

"Does that mean that only Qihaihai can buy that kind of sandwich bread?!"

"Uh, if the store manager doesn't agree to add new products...should only make one every day."

"Me! I'll come! How much is this store!?" Cheng Rang waved the banknotes, but was dragged aside by Isabella's neck.

"Don't make trouble!"

"You can do it!" Cheng Rang's voice faded away.

The clerk watched Cheng Rang being dragged away by Isabella with a dry smile, and then said, "But I think it's fine now, at least we all know each other's names."

"That's right~ they've already been called!" Nagasaki immediately booed, looking at the badge of the clerk, "Miss Hanazawa."

Hanazawa Homi, Clerk - Yayoi Cake Shop.

It has this inscription on it.

But if it is a cake shop, there must be something like bread, and it still sells a lot. After all, not everyone will come here to buy cakes for their birthdays.

Gojo Wujo propped himself up on the cash register knowingly, leaned forward and sneaked forward: "So, Qihai is still single now, she is 27 years old this year~"

"Guest..guest! Please stop kidding!"

"I think you two are quite suitable~ Come on, Miss Hanazawa!" Gojo Satoru instigated without hesitation.

"This guest!"

As a result, it made him blush...and almost kicked Gojo Satoru out.

Chapter 175: Heartbroken

Although the scene was a bit chaotic, it was more lively. After solving the birthday cake issue, the topic returned to another aspect.

"....birthday present?"

"Is there anything Fukuro wants... recently?" Kagezaki tapped his forehead and thought hard.

Hu Zhi spread his hands aside and said, "Fushihei usually doesn't talk about this kind of thing when he communicates with us.

Let's go. ”

"...So the guy explained too little about himself, he hardly understands anything!"

"So how old is Fu Hei's birthday this time?" Cheng Rang secretly asked Isabella who was beside him.

"16 is old."

Immediately got a decisive answer.

Cheng Rang was stunned, nodded and said, "That's quite commemorative."

"Although I don't expect you, my husband, to remember everyone's birthdays, you should know how old they are..."

"Maki has C."
