Chapter 58 Isn't it getting more and more excessive!?
Except for the fact that there is one more person than before who occupies the same seat for most of the day, occasionally refilling a cup of coffee and asking for a snack, and is a real enemy of the coffee shop, the rest is no different from usual. Almost all the regulars who come often have come.
There are no new customers coming. It may not be right to stay the same, but it is true that it has only changed 10%, and it can be controlled easily.
Most of the things that she originally had to do were taken away by Mayumi, and a leisurely life in the true sense was gradually approaching her. However, Xia Zhi, who had always been aiming for this, did not feel much reality when this situation actually came.
appearance.
Working relaxedly, half of the time was spent in a daze. Time passed slowly minute by minute in a peaceful life. Before I knew it, it was already half past five, and there were only a few scattered items left in the store.
of guests.
Natsuki basically stood in front of the cashier for this hour and a half, and all the waiter's work was done by Mayumi. To be honest, standing for an hour and a half and barely moving was actually a very hard job, and it was a little bit...
It's a bit boring. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have more customers, at least there is something to do.
"Slow down, welcome to visit next time."
Mayumi smiled and said to the guests who left. She has become more and more familiar with the waiter's work. Should I say that she is really a student of a prestigious high school or something else? She is polite, has strong learning ability and action ability. And she herself
She is also a very beautiful person, and all the customers who come to the store like her appearance.
Maybe you can attract a lot of customers by handing out flyers at the door. However, it seems that it will become troublesome if too many customers come, so you need to think about this carefully.
"Ah. Welcome, there are three... store managers?"
Mayumi's confused voice attracted Xia Zhi's attention. At the same time, she saw Sayuri and Xiaoyao standing at the door looking curiously at Mayumi in employee uniforms, followed by the store manager holding two plastic bags.
"Oh, Mayumi-chan. Help me take these things in. I'm exhausted."
The store manager raised both hands and raised the plastic bags in his hands. The one on the left was a box containing food, and he didn't know what was in it. The bag on the right contained a panda plush toy and other items.
Some common souvenirs.
Mayumi took the bag, but her eyes were still scanning Sayuri and her daughter curiously. At this time, the store manager started to explain.
"Oh, by the way, you probably haven't seen it yet."
He first pointed at Sayuri and her daughter.
"This is my wife Sayuri, and this is my daughter Xiaoyao."
Then he turned to his wife and said, "This is the new employee I hired last time. Here, it's the one I told you about last time. Isn't it good?" After saying that, he started to feel proud without permission.
"Hello, my name is Maeda Mayumi. It's our first time meeting you. Please give me some advice." Mayumi bowed respectfully and was very polite. Sayuri's eyes lit up and she observed her carefully.
"Hello. I am Sayuri Murakami, and this is my daughter Yao Murakami."
"Hello...Hello." Xiaoyao shrank slightly behind Sayuri, a little afraid of strangers.
"Are you curious why the store manager is so ordinary and Sister Sayuri is so beautiful?"
Natsuki suddenly appeared from behind, startling Mayumi.
"Hey, hey, Xia Zhi, what do you mean? How am I so ordinary? I'm so handsome."
The store manager yelled dissatisfied.
"Brother Xia Zhi!" Xiaoyao suddenly ran over and hugged Xia Zhi's waist, with a very happy look on his face. "I completed the task well!"
What task? Naturally, it was a task randomly assigned by Xia Zhi in order to let the little girl have fun. They were all very simple things, such as taking photos and so on, and the objects required were found in ordinary zoos, so they should
There will also be no rare events such as common animals that are not found in zoos.
He touched the little girl's head and said, "Oh. You will show me the photos later. If you really complete the task, I will give you all your father's share later."
"Isn't this getting too much!?"
"Okay!" Xiaoyao doesn't care about these little things. She is now happy that she has completed the task and is about to receive the reward.
Natsuki patted the little girl's head, asked her to let go of her hand, and turned to look at Mayumi: "Do you need my help?"
"No, it's not very heavy." She lifted it easily with her handbag, but the store manager was a little dumbfounded.
"The ones on the left are sushi, which is actually pretty good, but the ones on the right are just souvenirs, and quite heavy. Mayumi-chan is so strong, are you doing any exercise?"
"No, it's just an ordinary literary and artistic club. Just running with my father."
Mayumi accepted the compliment generously, but this time Xia Zhi was surprised. He originally thought that she would join a sports club. Although the job of a cafe waiter is not very tiring, it has to be recognized.
If you really insist on doing it for two hours, Xia Zhi, who doesn't exercise often, won't feel very relaxed. But he has seen Mayumi running back and forth in the coffee shop many times without blushing and out of breath, and subconsciously
I thought she was participating in a sports club at school.
Maybe Tachibana Aya misled him. Mayumi once said that Tachibana Aya and she were in the same club, and Tachibana Aya had the profile of a high-ranking Aikido player, and Mayumi's physical strength was so good, so he subconsciously thought she was participating.
What kind of sports club is it?
So, if it’s not about this material, it’s better not to get involved in this field casually. It’s not like I’m a great detective, so I don’t want to learn reasoning.
"Hey, by the way. Xia Zhi, where is your senior sister? Isn't she here today?"
"I told you she is not my senior, she is Mayumi's senior. She is sitting over there now."
Xia Zhi pointed to Tachibana Aya in the corner who started typing on the keyboard again at some point. However, she was not focusing all her attention on writing novels now. When Xia Zhi raised her finger and pointed at her,
Tachibana Aya also raised her hand and waved this way, and shouted again.
"Xia Zhijun, I want a refill!"
"Can't you sleep after drinking so much coffee at night? Cold water and ice, do you want it? Also, don't shout when ordering, there are other customers in the store."
The smile on Tachibana Aya's face stiffened.
"Aren't you a waiter? Do you treat guests like this? I want to file a complaint against you."
"hehe."
The conversation ended with Xia Zhi's unilateral hehe.
"The relationship is really good." The store manager sighed.
"I don't want to explain this kind of problem that I can't explain clearly in my lifetime."
If we take a detailed look at the many light novels and anime works in recent years, there are countless men and women who had nothing to do with each other at first, but then the person next to them said something like "the relationship is really good" and they were instantly involved in huge troubles. This is
It was a situation that Xia Zhi tried his best to avoid. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so as long as he didn't explain, it would be fine.
"You don't deny it? Damn high school student."
The store manager laughed and cursed. On the side, Sayuri looked at Tachibana Aya from a distance, her eyes flickering and she didn't know what she was thinking. Mayumi looked at Xia Zhi with a complicated expression. Xiaoyao once again pulled the corner of Xia Zhi's clothes and stared.
A pair of big eyes awaiting the reward.
"Okay, okay, Xia Zhijun, go and call that girl over. I bought it for six people this time, and my wallet is bleeding."
Xia Zhi nodded: "Xiaoyao, go sit on a chair and hold a seat for me."
"Um!"
The little girl quickly ran to the counter and sat down.
Xia Zhi walked towards Tachibana Ayai, who raised his head and looked at Xia Zhi who didn't take anything.
"You are too bullying. The cold water you promised is gone?"
"You can obviously hear it here, so don't come here. If you go or not, then it's dinner."
Xia Zhi glanced at her disdainfully.
"Of course I want to go! There's free food."
"Aren't you a rich man? Where is the dignity of a rich man?"
"It's one thing to have money, but it's another thing whether you want free things." She retorted confidently.
"And I have very little pocket money."
“I don’t have much pocket money but I still spend all day in a coffee shop.”
"I can't just order a cup of coffee and sit there all night, right? Am I the leader of the Phantom Thieves?"
I always feel like she said something that Japanese people shouldn’t know about. Oh no…it seems like it’s something that only Japanese people should know very well.
"It's up to you. If you want to come over, put everything away so you don't lose it."
"I know, I know, wait a moment."
She quickly closed the computer and put it in her bag. She picked up her phone and stood up, urging Xia Zhi to leave quickly. Xia Zhi squinted and tapped on the desktop.
"You don't want to miss this table, do you?"
"!" She turned her head. "How... how is it possible? Am I that kind of person?"
Xia Zhi believes that although this person is not very reliable and seems to lack common sense, she should not do anything too outrageous. Although her current actions are consistent with her psychotic persona as always, she is like a soulless person.
Empty shell, she is imitating. Imitation of what? Probably imitating a character with such a personality.
She is a novel writer, and a very popular novel writer. Why does she spend time in this unpopular coffee shop almost every day from some time ago to now? To collect materials, and to find inspiration from Xia Zhi as an individual.
She is a very powerful person, this has been confirmed a long time ago, but her strength does not come out of thin air, Xia Zhi is also very clear about this, and judging from her achievements, she is not someone who gives up easily.
People. It is not surprising that such a person would do some strange things in order to be able to write a good novel. Now this level of pretense is actually very friendly.
She is still a familiar person, so she can't cause trouble to others, and I am not capable enough to give her any help, so I just have to be myself as usual. However, if I don't end it this time, it will probably become very bad next time.
trouble.
What to do? Xia Zhi thought about it, and then came up with the answer.
Gently stack the tableware on the table and hold it in your hands.
"Even if it's fake, the expression is too stiff. How about reading more other people's works?"
Tachibana Aya turned around and looked at Natsuki who had an indifferent expression for no apparent reason, and then became very happy.
"Are you going to invite me?"
Sighing: "Just this once."
Natsuki walked slowly past her with the tableware, and Tachibana Aya's usual smile changed slightly. Looking at the foreign boy again, she was thinking about something in her heart.
