Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

However, her explanation didn't seem as powerful as she had imagined, and it wasn't even firm at all.

"Okay! It's getting late, time to pick up Ryoko."

As if she was afraid that Mr. Troll would say something, Miss Saint took his hand and quickly walked down the stairs, heading towards the convenience store.

As for this matter...

Let’s keep it a secret from Ryoko for now.

The Saint Lady made a decision in her heart.

Two-in-one, my younger brother graduated from elementary school today and is registering for junior high school. I have to take him for a physical check-up, so it’s a little shorter, over!

Chapter 128: Guilty conscience

"Then, Manager, I'll be leaving now."

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road."

"hai~"

Hamabe Ryoko raised her hand and responded energetically, then turned around and pushed open the glass door of the convenience store, and rushed into the night like a bird returning to its nest.

Jingle Bell.

The convenience store's wind chimes began to ring.

Looking at Hamabe Ryoko's leaving back, the store manager raised his lips slightly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

“Youth is great.”

After seeing Hamabe Ryoko and Watanabe Yuu meet, he withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on the cash register.

His niece is on leave today.

He was forced to take over the night shift for one day.

"Yuu, Ayana, you didn't have to wait too long, did you?"

After walking in front of Watanabe Yu and Amemiya Ayana, Hamabe Ryoko slowed down and walked to his side.

She herself didn't notice that her voice today was much more energetic and cheerful than before.

The feeling of having someone waiting for you to get off work outside your workplace is completely different!

"No, we just arrived."

Watanabe Yu raised his eyebrows and gestured to talk while walking.

The three of them then set out to return home.

"Or to be more precise, we arrived on time."

Ayana Amamiya pulled on the hem of Watanabe Yu's clothes, signaling him to change positions with Hamabe Ryoko.

The latter was stunned at first, then nodded with a helpless smile, changed positions with Ryoko, and the two girls walked side by side.

"How was work today?"

The Saint Lady naturally took Hamabe Ryoko's hand.

After this week's contact, they became very good friends.

To be honest, she never thought at first that she could chat with Hamabe Ryoko like this. The two of them have very similar values ​​and many similarities in their personalities.

Of course, there are also obvious differences.

For example, when facing Mr. Troll, the cold and tough Ryoko in the past would soften. Whatever he said was what it was. Ryoko would hardly refute his decision, and would even act as his lobbyist when necessary.

She could be said to have experienced this point particularly clearly.

"It went pretty smoothly."

Although Hamabe Ryoko was somewhat puzzled by Amemiya Ayana's actions, she still answered the latter's question first.

“Is it busy during the peak hours today?”

The Saint Lady naturally took up the conversation.

Hamabe Ryoko had told her that there are three busiest time periods for convenience stores.

The first is between eight or nine in the morning, the second is between noon and one thirty in the afternoon, and the third is in the evening, between five thirty and seven o'clock. After that, it is basically just individual tourists.

To use Ryoko's sarcasm as an example, working in a convenience store is actually not that bad, it's just a little busy in the morning, noon and evening.

"Same as usual, but..."

Hamabe Ryoko drew out her tone and kept the audience in suspense.

"but?"

The Saint Lady tilted her head, a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes.

She played the guest role as Hamabe Ryoko's supporting actor.

"At noon today, the couple who usually come to buy lunch boxes seemed to have broken up." Hamabe Ryoko couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of helplessness in her tone. "The reason was that the two wanted to go to different universities. While paying, the girl was still chattering on the phone with her best friend, as if she was betrayed by the other party."

"…Is it because their ideal universities are far away from each other?"

Watanabe Yu thought about it and asked this question.

This was the only possibility he could think of.

As for long-distance relationships, coupled with the overall impetuous atmosphere in Japan, the distance is unlikely to create beauty.

"No, they are all in Tokyo, just not in the same district."

Hamabe Ryoko shook her head.

That's why she couldn't understand it at all.

"..."

Amemiya Ayana fell silent, with an indescribable strange expression on her face.

She didn't even know how to respond. It turned out that they were all in Tokyo, just not in the same district, so they could quarrel like that, right?

If this happens abroad, it will be even worse.

"I think it's weird."

The Saint Lady was silent for a moment and then uttered these words.

What could she say? She could only say that life was indeed illogical.

"It's quite outrageous." Hamabe Ryoko paused, "But it's normal, not everyone can accept such a separation, even if the actual distance is not that far.

"Just like everyone's attitude towards love, there are all kinds of weird ones.

“After all, some people fall in love just to find someone of the opposite sex to talk to, to pursue that sense of novelty, or the feeling of being loved.

"Some people fall in love just to have a stable, long-term relationship, and then... get married and start a family."

Having said that, she subconsciously glanced at Watanabe Yu.

She had a similar dream this Wednesday.

"Everyone has their own unique personality." Hamabe Ryoko coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Where's Yuu? Did the interview go well today?"

In fact, she had also thought about taking a leave to go with him.

But this thought lasted less than half a minute before she dismissed it.

She took leave to accompany him, but all she could do was accompany him and she couldn't give him any substantial help.

As long as there was someone accompanying him, there was no need for her to go along.

But thinking about it now, she still feels a little regretful.

"It went quite smoothly." Watanabe carefully considered his words, "It's not an exaggeration to say it went surprisingly smoothly."

"No deliberately difficult questions, right?"

Hamabe Ryoko asked with concern.

She specifically checked last night and found that some interviews would include difficult questions.

The purpose of this kind of question is to make things difficult for people. Other than that, it has no substantive value.

"No." Watanabe Yu paused, "Besides, given the current situation, they won't ask difficult questions."

The three of them slowed down and walked across the zebra crossing where the light had just turned green.

In a sense, this is one of the benefits of moving to a new home.

It is close to the convenience store where Hamabe Ryoko works, and there are not many intersections when traveling.

"Don't underestimate our teacher Watanabe, Ryoko."

The Saint Lady blinked and teased someone in a strange tone.

"What do you mean?"

Ryoko Hamabe understood the hidden meaning behind Amemiya Ayana's words.

"Guess if the person who interviewed him has seen Norwegian Wood?"

Amamiya Ayana almost made it clear.

“…You should have seen it, right?”

Hamabe Ryoko thought for a moment and asked uncertainly.

"The answer is that the two people who came to interview You are both fans of Norwegian Wood, and one of them is a fanatic."

The Saint Lady raised her eyebrows and gave Hamabe Ryoko a look that said 'you know what I mean'.

"So is this considered an alternative reader meeting?"

Ryoko Hamabe imagined the scene in her mind and could only say that it was too fitting.

"You'll have to ask Mr. Watanabe, who was later exempted from the bill."

Amemiya Ayana threw the conversation to Watanabe Yuu.

To be honest, when she said that, she never thought it would come true so quickly.

"Oh, Yuu got free of charge!?"

Ryoko Hamabe opened her mouth in surprise.

"Yes." The Saint Lady nodded, with a hint of emotion in her tone, "The manager of that coffee shop is also a book friend of Norwegian Wood."

To be honest, she was very proud of You.

There is something indescribable about the feeling of becoming a celebrity accidentally.

It was like watching her treasure step onto a wider stage. The spotlight was shining on him, and everyone saw his dazzling appearance. He, like her, belonged to her.

That's what it feels like!

"Ouch!"

Hamabe Ryoko regretted it.

She should have asked for leave today and had the audacity to go with You.

This way, she could witness his brilliance with her own eyes.

By the way, we can also catch the Saint Lady, this thieving cat.

Just then, the three of them stepped into the shadow of the last section of the road.

She lowered her eyebrows and smelled it carefully.

Tsk, sure enough.

After confirming that her sense of smell was correct, Hamabe Ryoko gently broke free from the hand of the Saint Lady and then held Watanabe Yu's arm.

She said, why does it feel like the Saint Lady is a little too enthusiastic today.

So that’s why.
