The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

"Be gentle to me, otherwise..." He stretched out his hand, but received warning words from Rachel: "If you want to say something strange, I will repeat it to Kaguya when I go back."

"Have you learned how to complain?! I haven't finished speaking yet! Why do you think I'm going to say something strange?"

"...Don't act like why I didn't learn well and how quickly I learned bad things from others, even if I occasionally get angry." The girl with an expressionless face as she spoke, even took away the broken thread on the back of his hand. He was sprayed with iodophor, which made his fingertips tremble in pain.

......................

The scene of the two people's "harmonious" exchange made Hongxia, who was left out in the cold, gradually became silent, but she also watched with interest.

Even though I couldn't understand the English communication between the two, I still felt that they had a good relationship, and the interaction seemed quite interesting.

After watching Ruijier treat his wounds for a while, Hongxia quietly came closer and asked in surprise: "You finally stopped cheating money and abducted children instead? This injury should have been caused by being beaten by the parents, right?"

"....What nonsense are you trying to talk about? How could I sell such a cute child?"

"In other words, it's just kidnapping, not selling, keeping for your own use?" Hong Xia complained reflexively. She didn't know what she was thinking, and stared at him with a red face: "What kind of pervert are you! I'm going to call the police!"

"Don't think of strange things and force them on me, okay? You're a gangster!" An Yan retorted without thinking, making Hongxia dance with joy and retort: ​​"I, I'm not a pervert. ! It’s you! What have you done? Where did this child abduct from? Don’t say it’s your relative!"

"The United States brought it, but to say what the relationship is...well, it's a bit complicated to say."

"Are you really not kidnapped? It always feels very suspicious~" Hong Xia stared at him for a while, and then carefully looked at the girl who was concentrating on changing his dressing. She couldn't help but sigh: "But to be honest, this The child is so cute! Even I want to kidnap him! What should I do? Sell it to me?"

"Not for sale, but if you want, can you touch your head? The hair feels great too! I can guarantee that!"

"Really?! Then I'm not welcome..." Facing the cute Lolita, even though she is a female Hongxia is very excited. Her desire to kiss, hug and hold her up is no less than An Yan's. The stupid hair on his head started to shake, and when he subconsciously reached out for the long pale golden hair...

"Touch it, and the money I owed you before will be written off in one stroke, okay?"

"——?!" Hong Xiacai's outstretched hand retracted like an electric shock before it even touched it, and then said angrily: "This is robbery!"

"What kind of robbery? Don't say it in such a bad way, okay? Isn't my Rachel worth the money? This is already a broken bone!"

"Your family..." Hong Xia looked disgusted and didn't want to look at him. She turned to the girl who was still treating the wound seriously, and suddenly showed a gentle smile: "You must also think that this guy is very... ..Ah...no, that..."

Hongxia wanted to bypass An Yan and communicate directly with this exotic blonde lolita, but halfway through speaking, she remembered that she should use English, but suddenly she unexpectedly couldn't hold back her words in English.

However, Rachel raised her head expressionlessly and said, "It's okay, I basically understand Japanese."

"Oh, oh! So awesome! This kid is so awesome! He's so cute and so powerful!? I really want to kidnap a girl like this~!" Hongxia exclaimed, accidentally speaking all her inner thoughts. Speak up.

When she came to her senses, she looked away slightly awkwardly and laughed dryly, trying to ease the weird atmosphere. This made Rachel sigh calmly: "....Is it really someone An Yan knows? It turns out. They’re all weirdos.”

"No, it's not! It's completely different! He is indeed weird, but my sister is different!" Everyone will have the psychological trauma of being misunderstood by a cute loli. Even Hong Xia waved her hands to explain, and said angrily Xiang An Yan complained: "Why didn't you say it in the first place! This kid can speak Japanese. Doesn't that make me the same as a weird guy like you?!"

"It's okay, just get used to it."

"I don't want to get used to it at all! Is this a rule of thumb?"

"Oh~ We are happy today, so let's not talk about the sad past."

"...It really is like this..." Looking at his calm demeanor, as if he was used to being treated as a weirdo, Hongxia wiped away cold sweat, but didn't know if she should comfort him. he.

After being silent for a while, she temporarily put aside Rachel's concerns, looked at him up and down, who was covered in gauze, and then asked:

"Speaking of which... I've wanted to ask from the beginning, what happened to you? Is it really okay? Are you walking outside like this?"

"It's okay. I was just hit by a sickle, fell downstairs and got a concussion. Finally, I got a dozen small wounds from the wire."

"This, this is it...can this be considered 'just'?"

Hong Xia, who felt pain just listening to it, was dumbfounded and even confused by his casual attitude.

It was also at this time that a pink figure suddenly appeared next to her.

The girl wearing the same pink sportswear as always, with an expression even more exaggerated than Rachel's, as if she was facing the end of the world, crossed the counter, rushed up to him, held his shoulders, and asked nervously: "— —Are you really okay? Why did that happen to you?"

"It's just a little accident~ It's okay. Didn't you see that I can run and jump? But what are you doing hiding behind the counter?"

"This, this..." With a hint of embarrassment, Dui turned to look at Hongxia beside him, causing Hongxia to spread her hands and sigh: "I was teaching Boqi how to receive guests, and you just happened to be here. We are all The people here are really not guests, and you just happen to be..."

"I see, you want me to be your first guest, right?"

"Yeah!" Listening to their conversation, he nodded repeatedly and took out a five-hundred coin from his pocket and handed it over, and said excitedly: "If your health is fine, just use this... !”

It was this move that caused the temperature of Hongxia's eyes to drop sharply, and then she spoke to her without any emotion: "....Are you still going around defrauding girls of their money? No wonder you ended up like this. ”

"No, no, no, Xiaodu, put the money away quickly, I will be misunderstood if you do this!" Sensing that everyone in the store was looking at her, and Rachel also giving him a strange look, An Yan quickly pushed back She held her hand and explained to Hong Xia: "Don't look at people with old eyes. I stopped doing that kind of thing a long time ago. Today I am rich! Super rich!"

"Really? Did you get it from somewhere?" Hongxia, who had been vaccinated a lot by Irena, looked at him with half-squinted eyes.

"How could it be? This time it's real money."

"....Real money? How much?"

"One hundred thousand."

"How could it be real money?" After hearing this number, Hongxia suddenly showed a dazed look and murmured: "You have made one hundred thousand in just a few days? You finally went to rob, is that why you are injured like this? ?”

"Finally what? Who do you think I am??"

"Also...it would be better to surrender as soon as possible?" Although he argued hard, even Goto showed a worried expression and even persuaded him to surrender: "I heard that the prison will do the same. For arranging treatment..."

There is no doubt that both of them have great doubts about the whereabouts of his money. Only one person is different, and that is...

"——Never mind this! Now that you have money, hurry up and pay back the money you owe me before you are arrested~!"

He didn't even have time to complain anymore. The gray-haired girl who didn't know where he was hiding suddenly appeared in front of him in a flash. She reached out her hand to ask for money from him with excitement on her face.

But before An Yan could pay, Hong Xia slapped him.

"Why are you hitting me?!" Irena covered her hands with an innocent look on her face and stared pitifully and somewhat dissatisfied at her cheap sister. However, Hongxia put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Although I don't know that you and him are doing it again. What’s the matter, but no matter what, you can’t accept black money, right?”

"....anyway?"

Irena retracted her hand angrily, but did not completely retract it.

"Of course not! Why are you so obsessed with money?" Her reluctant look made Hongxia look at An Yan sharply in the middle of her sentence.

"No...what are you looking at me doing? This has nothing to do with me." The strange sight made him speechless. Although he was reluctant, he still told the truth: "This is just borrowed."

"Borrow it?" Hongxia narrowed her eyes suspiciously: "It's not a girl again, is it?"

"...Well, it's different from what you think anyway. It's not a scam, it's a sincere loan."

"It's indeed a girl." Hongxia sighed and put her hands on his shoulders. As if she was thinking about him, she gently advised: "It's better to stop as soon as possible. If this continues... ..Sooner or later you will be hit by a hatchet?"

"You've already suffered it, haven't you?"

"Huh? Really? Really?!"

"No, no, no, I'm just kidding, don't be serious...No way! This is my sister's pocket money! It's just for one day, no matter what she says, there's no way she can cut me off for this little money."

"...a day's pocket money?" Hongxia was confused.

"One hundred thousand??" Du Ye was stunned.

"Do you still lack a sister? Is it too late to call you brother from today?" Only Irena suddenly reached out and put her hand on his shoulder, her face full of seriousness, but this also earned Hongxia a dissatisfied glare. :"--Hello!"

"Don't look at me like this~ This is a joke no matter what~" Irena smiled and waved her hand, and at the same time extended her other hand to An Yan.

"...You really only care about money." He owed 13 yuan by pulling Irena to teach her all night long, and forced Irena to treat guests to dinner. However, he did not intend to refuse the debt and directly took it from his pocket. He took out [-] yuan and put it in Irena's hand: "I can only give you [-] yuan now, I can still use the rest."

Originally, Irena didn't have much hope of getting money from him, but now that real money appeared, she was so happy that she couldn't help but want to kiss the currency.

But the beautiful blond woman watching from the side, Hongxia's sister, Ijichi Xinge, who seemed to have a cold personality and looked very similar to Hongxia, snatched all the money from her hand.

"--what!"

Irena instinctively let out a shrill scream, and subconsciously wanted to take it back, but Xingge rolled her eyes angrily, and then stared at An Yan seriously: "What's wrong with you, why... "

"Wait a minute! You may have misunderstood. I promised to give her money before and asked her to help with some things. I just keep cashing in on what I owe. Of course, helping is a very common thing, but the amount accumulated over time is relatively small. big."

"Is this really true?" Xinge turned to look at Irena.

"Really! So hurry up..."

"Okay, but you advanced thirteen months' pocket money from me, a total of sixty-five thousand, and I can only give you twenty-five thousand."

"Alas~~How can this be done!" Irena tried hard to fight, but...

The two did not argue for too long, and Irena gave up her struggle. With a slightly unhappy expression, she accepted the current situation of a significant reduction in remuneration.

........................

On the other side, An Yan, who had given the money, ignored Irena. Instead, after asking Hong Xia to help with some math problems for Ruijie, she unexpectedly cooperated and acted as a customer.

"Welcome...Welcome! The minimum purchase is five hundred~!" Du Du tensed up at the counter and hurriedly stated the rules of the store.

"Okay, this is five hundred. Xiaodu, please lower your head quickly and touch it for me~"

"Yes, yes~!" Du Du, who took the coin, bowed subconsciously at [-] degrees, and stuck his head out obediently, making An Yan reach out and touch it with a smile: "So good, so good~"

"What are you doing....?"

The strange interaction between the two made Hongxia stunned, but An Yan also handed her a thousand-yuan bill: "I want to touch Hongxia too~! By the way, give Irena to me too~ "

"——This is not that weird kind of shop. The clerk doesn't provide any services!" Hong Xia casually waved away his money, grabbed his hand that was still rubbing his hands, and glared at him angrily: "By the way, Are you greedy enough to want three girls at once? People like you are destined to be stabbed by girls."

"You are so stingy~" He shrugged disapprovingly, then took out the money again and handed it to Du: "Anyway, let's have five Cokes first~"

"Five drinks?"

"You, Hongxia, Irena, Rachel and me."

"And my share?" Hong Xia was a little surprised, but An Yan waved her hand generously: "Of course, we are friends, it's just Coca-Cola, it's no big deal."

"Thank you, thank you~!" (An Yan is indeed a good person!) Du's face suddenly became slack, and his joy was beyond words, but Hong Xia stared at him cautiously: "What conspiracy do you have?"

"What do you think of me?"

"Can't you afford to go early if you don't have any profit?"

"That's really too much. Obviously I just want to express my gratitude for the help in the past."

"If this is really the case, I advise you to save a little. The consumption here is quite expensive, right? You also borrowed the money, right? Is it really okay to be so lavish? Even if my sister doesn't pay back, it's not a good thing." It didn't look like he was lying, so Hongxia couldn't help but remind him of the importance of frugality, and started preaching to him on the spot.

Normally when going to a store, the clerk would try to find ways to make people spend money. Hong Xia's behavior made An Yan a little surprised, and she couldn't help but say:

"If I remember correctly, this is your store, right? Normally, shouldn't you try to find ways to make people spend more? Do you like rich people the most?"

"But you're not a wealthy person, are you?" Hongxia said helplessly with one hand on her hip.

"...I will work hard to become a rich man."

"Before then, try to be frugal and develop good financial management habits."

With her serious look, it was obvious that she was really worried about An Yan's situation, but An Yan waved her hand very openly: "It's okay~ Money is something external to the body. It can't be taken with you in life or death. It's nothing to worry about."

"...Are you really just like Irena? Don't you want to save some money?" Hongxia lost her temper for a moment and said angrily: "Don't you just think about it, if you encounter an emergency, you won't be able to save some money?" What to do with the money?”

"Mother Hongxia, can you lend it to me?"

"——I'm not your mother!" Hong Xia retorted with a black line on her face, and directly asked for debt collection: "By the way, have you forgotten the money you borrowed from me last time? Now that you have money, you can pay it back to me. , my money is tighter than you think!"

"Oh...I almost forgot, I'll give them all to you."

Saying this, even though he didn't have much left, he still paid back all he owed.

Afterwards, I chatted with Dudu for a while and practiced with her several times on how to receive guests.

This scene made Irena, who was lying on the table dejectedly, counting the bills over and over again, as if she would be able to count them out, and she felt very surprised as she watched from the side.

Because in her impression, An Yan is really a guy who can't afford to be early without profit. This time, he not only repays the money directly, but also accompanies them to do these things... It always feels a little wrong?

After a while, An Yan took three glasses of Coke, sat down opposite Irena, and handed one of them over.

It was at the moment when he stretched out his hand that Irena, who was still counting money on the table, immediately hid the money behind her and stared at him warily:

"You don't want to think about borrowing the money back now, do you? This is the promised reward! I won't lend it to you!"

"....No, I'm not that bored."

"Really~?" Irena's face was full of doubt and vigilance.

"Today I just wanted to have a simple chat or something, um... take a look at the excitement." As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the bar.

It happened that a customer actually appeared at this time, but Ke Du immediately hid under the bar.

But even under the bar, he was still accurate and fast, placing the drinks on the bar one by one, which was quite impressive to a certain extent.

"She is your friend, right? Normally, shouldn't you be helping? Are you actually watching the fun?" Irena glanced at him, and couldn't help but shook her head and accused him: "...yours His character is really bad.”

"Aren't you also watching the fun? After all, I just practiced with you. Your situation is worse than mine, right?"
