Chapter 64 Draw the knife! Then hug 3 girls (Part 1)
“￥#@&(*￥%@&#@@(……”
Kinoshita Mai said something to the boss again.
Qingdeng still didn't hear clearly, but the boss seemed to.
The boss looked at Mai Kinoshita with a meaningful look, nodded, turned around and took out three skewers of unopened glutinous rice dumplings that were all red in color and wrapped in tissue paper.
"Here, six cents."
Kinoshita Mai quickly took out a small cloth bag from her arms, took out 6 copper coins and spread them out on the stall. Then she took the bunch of red glutinous rice dumplings from the boss's hand and handed them to the girl beside her.
After passing the glutinous rice dumplings to the girl beside him, a cheerful smile appeared on Kinoshita Mai's face again.
The girl grabbed the glutinous rice dumplings with one hand and continued to lead Kinoshita with the other hand.
Although Qingdeng couldn't see the girl's expression due to the obstruction of the mask, based on her behavior, Qingdeng could feel it - the girl's face under the mask must be smiling happily now.
Kinoshita Mai took the girl and was about to leave happily.
But at this moment...
"Hey! Girl, you didn't give me enough money. You're still 4 cents short."
The owner of the snack stall suddenly stopped Kinoshita Mai.
"Huh?" Kinoshita Mai turned around with a look of astonishment on her face, "I gave you enough money, 6 copper coins, no more, no less."
Perhaps because she was in an anxious mood, Kinoshita Mai's voice became much louder when talking to the boss, a stranger.
"How could you not give me 6 cents?" The boss curled his lips, "You only gave me 2 cents just now."
"You're lying!" the masked girl shouted, "Miss Wu just gave you six cents! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Little girl." The boss frowned, showing a sad look, "You can't be so unkind! I'm just a small business, and it's not easy to make every penny. You can't bully me.
Honest man."
The argument between the boss, Mai Kinoshita and others naturally attracted a lot of onlookers.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"have no idea……"
"It seems that those three women wanted to leave without giving them enough money to buy things."
"The girl in the red kimono looks pretty good there."
…
"Well..." Looking at the boss with an innocent expression, Kinoshita Mai's face slowly turned red with anxiety.
She wanted to have a good debate with her boss.
But she is naturally afraid of strangers.
Normally, I wouldn't be able to talk properly to a stranger like my boss.
But now, more and more onlookers are being attracted, which makes Kinoshita Mai even more nervous, and it is even more difficult for her to say a complete sentence.
The masked girl didn't have any stage fright, she argued hard with her boss.
But her eloquence is not very good, and she is no match for the cunning boss.
The woman who had been standing silently behind Kinoshita Mai and the masked girl just now was looking around at the growing crowd.
But for some reason, she didn't say a word.
——Ah...it’s true that no matter what era, tourist attractions will be “rich” with such profiteers who like to extort people’s money...
Qingto speculated: The owner of this snack stall must have realized that Kinoshita Mai was shy and easy to bully, so he chose to extort their money.
This kind of profiteers in tourist attractions... Qingdeng hates them the most.
Because in his previous life, he suffered a lot at the hands of these beasts and suffered many losses...
This directly led to him hating traveling for a long time.
So - Qingdeng strode towards the snack stall without much hesitation.
"Boss, are you the unkind guy?"
"Everyone! Don't be deceived by this profiteer's sweet words! I can clearly see that this girl paid enough for 6 Wen! This profiteer just wants to extort money from people!"
"Tachibana...kun...?" Kinoshita Mai looked at Qingden who suddenly appeared in shock.
"Huh? You said I blackmailed people, hey, you can't spit blood... Gu!"
When he first heard Qingdeng's shouting, the boss was originally very aggressive.
But after seeing the juju with red tassels on Aoshito's right waist and the inro from the Edo Administrative Office, he immediately made a strange sound like a duck being pinched by the neck.
"It's the Edo 'Three Chapters'..." After murmuring at a volume that only he could hear clearly, the boss gasped crazily.
"Oh? I said you were blackmailing someone, am I wrong?"
Qingden leaned against the snack stall.
"Then I'm all ears."
"Tell me--what did I say wrong just now?"
"Remember to think carefully about the next words before speaking."
"Lying to Edo 'three times'... is a serious crime."
After saying that, Qingden specially placed his right hand on his ten-hand hand and deliberately made a loud sound.
at the same time--
Click.
Saito, who was standing behind Aoto, suddenly put his right hand on the handle of his sword, making a loud noise.
Qingden raised his eyebrows and cast a smiling look at Saito behind him.
Saito, who still looked expressionless, stared straight at his boss.
After noticing Qingdeng's smiling eyes, he lowered his head, nodded gently to Qingdeng, and then continued to stare directly at the snack stall owner.
——Can you help me build momentum...
Although there was not even a single word of communication with Saito, Qingto could instantly understand that Saito wanted to help him "build momentum" and put greater psychological pressure on his boss.
Only then did Qingdeng suddenly notice that his cold bodyguard did not seem to be a complete "wooden man".
Under the joint psychological offensive of Ayoto and Saito, large beads of cold sweat broke out from the boss's forehead.
After hesitating for a moment, he put a flattering smile on his face.
"Master Tongxin! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! It's the villain who lost his head for a moment! It's the villain who lost his head! He was blinded by money!"
Faced with the "three times" in Edo, the boss, who had no courage to argue or bargain, kept apologizing to Aoshito.
"These are for you! These are for you to eat! Please forgive me this time if you have a lot!"
The boss grabbed 4 glutinous rice dumplings and 4 well-wrapped steamed buns and handed them to Qingdeng.
Qingden glanced at the snacks handed over by the boss with indifferent eyes.
After noticing Qingdeng's gaze, the boss gritted his teeth and grabbed two more glutinous rice dumplings and two steamed buns with a look of pain on his face.
"Lord Tongxin..."
"I shouldn't be the one you should apologize to, right?" Qingdeng interrupted the boss in a neither salty nor bland tone.
The boss was stunned for a while, and then he quickly stuffed the pile of snacks in his hand into Kinoshita Mai's arms.
"Girl! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! It was me who lost my mind just now! You didn't give me a penny less! It was me who was obsessed!"
"Please forgive me this time!"
Kinoshita Mai, the masked girl, and the woman who had been standing behind them all looked at the pile of snacks handed over by the boss, and then looked at each other.
At this time, Kinoshita Mai had her mouth slightly open, looking dazed as she had not yet come to her senses.
"How?" Qingden asked Kinoshita Mai and others, "Are you willing to forgive this person?"
Kinoshita Mai and others looked at each other for a while.
In the end--after staring closely at the pile of snacks the boss gave them as apology for a while, they all nodded.
"...Since the victims have chosen to forgive you, I will spare you this time." Qingdeng said solemnly to the boss, "There will be no next time."
"If I see you extorting money from people here next time, I will send you to Edo to be imprisoned."
"Yes, yes." The boss nodded, "Sir Tongxin! I promise you, I will never do it again!"
Seeing that there was no more excitement to join in, the onlookers began to disperse.
Qingden also led Kinoshita Mai and others away from this place of right and wrong.
As soon as he left the snack stall, Qingden heard Kinoshita Mai, who was walking behind him, saying to him in a weak but manageable voice:
"Um...Tachibana-kun, thank you..."
Probably because she hadn't fully recovered from the "money blackmail incident" just now, Kinoshita Mai lowered her head slightly and pursed her lips slightly.
But at this moment, Kinoshita Mai pursed her lips and raised a slightly grateful expression towards Qingden who was walking in front of her.
"You're welcome." Qingden turned his head and smiled at Kinoshita Wu, "It's just a simple effort."
Qingden didn't stop until he was far away from the snack stall.
"Miss Kinoshita, we are really destined." Qingto turned around with a smile, "I never expected that I would meet you on the street again by such a coincidence..."
Having said that, Qingden turned his attention to the masked girl who had been led by Mai Kinoshita, and the "light yellow woman" wearing a light yellow kimono who had been following closely behind the two girls.
"Miss Kinoshita, who are these two?"
At this time, Qingdeng suddenly discovered something strange.
The masked girl and the pale yellow woman kept their heads lowered.
He looked like he didn't dare to look directly at Qingdeng...
"Uh...the two of them...the two of them are..."
Facing the question raised by Qingto, Kinoshita Mai looked at the masked girl she was holding, and then looked at the pale yellow woman behind her, hesitating.
Seeing the reaction shown by Kinoshita Mai at this time, Qingteng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought to himself:
——Hmm... Isn't it convenient for you to tell me the information about these two people?
Just when... Qingto was thinking about whether to help Kinoshita Mai, who didn't seem to want to tell him the information about the two women, to save him——
One after another, the warriors holding their swords high in the air, shouting "Tian Zhu", rushed out from the right side of Qingdeng and headed in the direction of Qingdeng and the others...
