Today is Sunday. I have to report to the store in the morning and have a summary meeting for the next week. At noon, I will go out for lunch with Yanye. After all, it seems that the two of them have not gone out to eat together recently. Since Kirino came back,

That is to say, I went to her school once and she came to her home once.

I only saw each other a few times a week. It felt a bit infrequent.

Shota looked at himself in the mirror while brushing his teeth, thinking silently: Why don't you dress up before going out today? You should make Yanye happy occasionally.

Although Shota's skill list only has the skill of disguise, not dressing up.

In the afternoon, we made an appointment with Ayase at three o'clock. If we go quickly, we can go home for a meal in the evening. Of course, we have to pay attention to the stalker.

After dinner... let's discuss it later.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr."

Shota spit out all the water in his mouth, picked up a towel and wiped his face. After cleaning, he ran downstairs to have breakfast.

"Good morning, mom. Hey, dad isn't here today?"

Kyosuke still has to sleep in on weekends. After all, he is in his third year of high school and is under a lot of pressure to study. His parents do not limit the time he wakes up every weekend. As for Kirino, he probably got up early, took a shower after running, and then went back to sleep—

-Who asked her to play every day and sometimes so late? However, it is a bit strange that even her father is not here.

"Huh? Don't you know?"

Kanano's mother said a little strangely: "He went to see your uncle from the Gui family. He went out yesterday. He said that we would go fishing together when we had free time on weekends."

"...Yan Ye doesn't seem to have told me enough about this."

Shota always felt that it was impossible for those two old guys to talk about anything good when they got together. Hmm... Could it be that they were discussing getting married? That would be a good thing. However, I didn't say before that I would wait until Konoha graduates from university.

Later theory?

"It's nothing big, I guess it's just going out for fun, don't think too much about it."

Kano's mother struck at Shota and said: "Be nice to Yanye. Let's talk first. I'm quite satisfied with Yanye. Well, but there are quite a lot of good girls around you."

"Yes, really?"

Shota doesn't like talking about this kind of topic with his mother. He always feels like he's being treated like a child.

"Come on and do your best."

After breakfast, Shota took the train directly to En no Sora. When he arrived, it was already close to ten o'clock when the store opened. As a store manager, the meeting was just about talking about some commonplace issues, such as working hard and the recent salary elsewhere.

It’s going to grow, and my salary here will also start to grow based on your performance. Then you must respect the leadership, respect the elders, and carry forward Yuan Zhikong’s consistent spirit of high-quality service.

In short, although he said he was very happy and felt like a leader, in fact, few people below him regarded him as a leader...

"OK. That's pretty much it. Let's get back to work and continue working hard."

Shota briefly summarized today's meeting, and then Okazaki-san raised his hand.

"Store manager, please take the lead..."

Shota was originally planning to go back to the office and play "It's okay even if it's a brother as long as he has love". However, since Okazaki has said so, he can only inspect the operation status from the front.

"Really, this Tomoya, every time Sister Xingzi is lazy, he won't stop, but he just targets me..."

"Um?"

There was a hint of life in the corner.

"Hey, yo, Sister Xingzi, you are actually in the store today."

Shota awkwardly greeted the deputy manager who was leaning against the wall and eating ice cream early in the morning.

"lunch."

Sister Kyoko glanced at Shota and briefly made her request.

"Okay, okay, I understand..."

Shota responded quickly. There was really nothing he could do about this woman who could be called a senior in high school.

"Huh. Too many words lead to mistakes. No, I still have to establish some dignity. Ever since I became a teacher, the number of people in the store has become smaller and smaller."

I walked to the kitchen and walked around. Segawa and Sato were working today. The two good men cleaned the kitchen environment and then finished the cakes they started making before the meeting.

"Sato, how are you doing lately?"

"generally."

Sato answered casually and continued the work at hand.

"How's it going with Yachiyo?"

“Cough cough cough cough——”

Sato coughed quickly. Since Shota had achieved his goal, he did not continue teasing him. Instead, he said to Segawa who was concentrating on his own thing on the other side: "Are you busy lately?"

"A little bit. After all, it's better after school starts than during the holidays."

Segawa answered his store manager's question with a smile.

"Eh..." Shota asked in a longer tone: "Are you busy doing something like killing gods?"

"Cough cough cough cough -" Segawa coughed twice awkwardly and said: "Store manager, please stop joking. In fact, it's just a matter of three nieces."

"Come on, be like Long Er. He is very experienced in taking care of children."

"Yes, I understand……"

Shouta, who had regained his confidence in the kitchen, ran to the door and changed the door number from CLOSED to OPEN, and then said to Torah Taneshima, who was standing there on tiptoe preparing to welcome the guests, "It seems to have grown a bit taller."

"Eh? Really?!" After hearing this, Torah Taneshima said with bright eyes: "Manager, you must really comfort me, right?"

But the way she looked, it was clear that she wanted Shota to tell her that this was a fact and not a comfort.

"I've really grown taller."

Shota nodded vigorously, but as if to prove this fact, Bai Yang put down the work at hand and ran back to the rest room where she measured her height every day - ten seconds later, she came back frustrated.

"Liar, liar store manager..."

"Actually, didn't you notice?"

Shota said intentionally or unintentionally: "Our store sank one centimeter recently due to the earthquake."

"Really, really?"

"That's right." Shota originally wanted to make a joke, but stopped because a guest came.

"Welcome...Black Cat?"

The first customer who opened the business turned out to be a clerk who was on holiday. Moreover, today's black cat seemed a little unusual. Normally Shota only knew that she would wear the store's uniform, school uniform, black gothic lolita outfit, and Xiaozhu Nozomi broke the news

Just a sweatshirt.

But she... actually wore a white dress today.

Yes, a piece of clothing that was supposed to be totally inconsistent with her image in Shota unexpectedly suited the person in front of her. However, after putting it on, Black Cat seemed to have completely changed her appearance...

From a high school girl, she turned into a young, beautiful, and a bit shy ordinary female student.

Therefore, Shota didn't notice her at all when he first glanced at her. If it weren't for the iconic tear mark, Shota would definitely have thought that the person in front of him was just someone else who looked very similar to Black Cat...

As if Shota was staring straight at her, Black Cat's face blushed slightly, and then, another group of people appeared behind her.

"Oh, is this one of the headquarters of the Administration? Sure enough, there is a sense of danger everywhere."

"Master Black Cat works here every day, no wonder he has become so powerful. Sure enough, the most dangerous place is the place that can train people the most."

"I say, you two, say hello to Mr. Kosaka first."

A breeder held the heads of two junior high school girls one by one, and said hello to Shota: "Long time no see, Mr. Kousaka."

"Ah, it's Xiaotiaoyu, Fiqiao, and who else."

To be honest, Shota never remembered the other person in the club where he was a consultant - that is, the servant of the Evil King's True Eye who had a bun under his two very long ponytails.

At least from this point of view, the existence of her chuunibyou character has exceeded her own.

"Hello, Mr. Kosaka."

The last person to say hello to Shouta was the girl he knew best besides Kuroneko in the class, Tanshitani.

"Hey, Dan Shenggu, you are here too. It seems that your Far East Magic Association used divination today to predict that I will greet you at the door?"

Seeing these students who were relatively familiar with him, Shota still felt as if a lot of time had passed even though he had just resigned from the school.

"Well, it's just that classmate Wu Geng said that you, the store manager, should be here at this time, so we came."

Tomikawa's words made Shota look at Kuroneko again. However, today she was not only dressed a little strangely, but also had a weird personality. Normally, she would either attack people in her own club or attack Shota. Even if she was in a good mood

At that time, both sides would not attack, and they would not be as silent as now.

"Black cat?"

Shota shouted her nickname again, but found that she shrank back slightly like a frightened bunny.

...Why is there an unexpected cute feeling?

However, she quickly regained her composure and said in a strange tone: "Huhuhuhu——, please don't call me by that nickname, I am now..."
