"Eight fifty-five, on time, clock in to work, good morning everyone." Pushing open the gift shop, Aikawa Yusheng greeted the store employees.
"The clock in the store is six minutes behind. It's actually already nine o'clock, so your salary will be calculated from ten o'clock."
Capitalist Matsuura Ryuji said with a ruthless smile.
"Oh, I will report you to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security tonight. Store manager, please see if the law representing the people is on your side or mine."
Aikawa Yusheng walked in slowly and said hello to Bai Xianzhuo who was already standing in the store alone. Then he looked at Matsuura Ryuji: "Is today's work still going to the street with Bai Xian to distribute leaflets?"
"Well, the old employees have enough work in the store."
"Then let's set off." Seeing Bai Xianzhuo already holding a large stack of leaflets in her hand, Aikawa Yusheng took most of them from her hand and said.
"Wait!" Matsuura Ryuji motioned for them to pause, then walked to the counter, picked up something that looked like a hanging headset, and came back.
"This is a neck-mounted air conditioner. It will be much more comfortable when you wear it to distribute flyers." Matsuura Ryuji handed the thing to Shirazana and showed her how to use it. With a slight press, the earphone-like things on both sides will blow upwards.
.
Aikawa Yusheng also stretched out his palm in front of him, looking at him with hopeful eyes.
"Ah hahahaha——" When he saw Matsuura Ryuji scratching his head and laughing awkwardly, Aikawa Yusheng already knew the ending.
"I got this from my daughter, so there's only one. As for yours, I've already placed an order. You can get it in a few days, Aikawa!"
"Differential treatment, child labor abuse!"
"You have to take responsibility for defamation, Aikawa! I am a good store manager who abides by laws and regulations."
"This... give it to you." Bai Xianzhuo, who was standing silently next to him, brought the thing in his hand to Aikawa Yusheng and looked down at Aikawa Yusheng's shoe uppers.
"No, I'm joking with the store manager. Just put it on. I've seen you sweating all the time in the past few days and you're still trying to hold on." Aikawa Yusheng smiled and waved his hand, took the neck-mounted air conditioner and put it on the girl's head directly.
on the neck.
"Oh, by the way, before going out today, put on some jewelry." Aikawa Yusheng suddenly said, then took out a necklace and some bracelets from the store, and handed them to Bai Xianzou.
"Put it on."
"Oh~" Although he didn't know what to do, Bai Xianzhuo just nodded obediently and put on all the necklaces and bracelets seriously.
After selecting a few items for himself, Aikawa Yusheng opened the store door.
"This...this." The hem of the clothes was held by Bai Xianzhuo, and the girl handed the thing to herself.
"What?"
"Sunscreen spray, won't tan."
"How to use it?" Aikawa Yusheng looked up in confusion and asked.
He didn't even know if his body would be tanned.
"Ah?" The girl opened her mouth in confusion, and the two people looked at each other.
"Then... then close your eyes." The girl opened the lid and walked up to Aikawa Yusheng and said.
"Then what?"
Is it time for a gentle kiss at this time? Aikawa Yusheng, who was poisoned by the plot of TV dramas of this era, thought.
Unfortunately, there was no, only the cool mist rushed over, spraying every part of the face, arms, including the back of the neck, in detail.
"Do you want me to help you?" Aikawa Yusheng asked politely.
"No need...I sprayed it when I was at home."
◇
On the main street of Iidabashi Mall.
Just like Aikawa Yuo Hakugenzou, there are many people distributing flyers here, but the most conspicuous combination is undoubtedly the two of them.
"1-11 Kanto-cho, 1-chome!" Yuo Aikawa smiled at passers-by very naturally and without any stage fright, "'Grandmoto' gift shop has exquisite gifts and moderate prices. If you have a need for gifts, or you like exquisite things,
For gadgets, this is undoubtedly your best choice..."
He could shout out any words taught by Matsuura Ryuji without shame.
Bai Xianzhuo is more gentle or shy. He stands next to Aikawa Yusheng. When someone passes by, he will step forward and hand out the flyer: "Can you please take a look at it? Thank you."
The voice is gentle and soft, and because of this, the people collecting the flyers will rarely refuse - those who do will walk around the two of them.
When a middle-aged woman holds a flyer and reads it for a long time, Aikawa Yusheng will step forward:
"Sister, the one you are looking at now is even more beautiful in person than in the picture." Aikawa Yusheng pulled Bai Xianzhuo to her side and pushed the girl in front of him.
"Look, it's the one she's wearing now. Doesn't it look good?"
"Well, it's really good."
The delicate girl stands tall, her hair is lifted up by the 'air conditioner', and her necklace sticks to her fair skin, reflecting dreamy colors in the sunlight.
"The store is right here when you enter. It has a big facade and you can spot it at first glance. Just go in and say A3 style."
"OK, thanks."
"It seems that she didn't take into account that the important reason why the real thing looks better than the picture is that you are good-looking, Bai Xian-san." After the guest left, Aikawa Yusheng said with a smile.
"No...that's not it." The girl lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at the smiling Aikawa Yusheng.
"If you hang a can pull-tab as a necklace, I will be able to describe it as a high-end brand design." Aikawa Yusheng said sincerely.
◇
After two-thirds of the leaflets were distributed, the two of them walked to the roadside to rest as usual.
"Thank you for your hard work. I brought tissues." He took out a small pack of tissues from his pocket and took out one. Bai Xianzhuo handed the rest to Yusheng Aikawa.
The one that was pulled out was also used to wipe clean the place where the two people were going to sit.
"Look at the person in front, who is wearing a stuffed toy suit in this weather, and the girl upstairs who has been dancing with a billboard since the morning. They are working really hard."
Aikawa Yusheng took out a tissue, wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck, and said with a smile.
In early July in Tokyo, the temperature showed its ferocious fangs - air conditioning is really a great invention in the world, and Aikawa Yuo had to admit this.
But in the past summer, the temperature was not so high, right?
"Of course, we have worked hard, so we have to reward ourselves with a bottle of ice drink. Bai Xian, what do you want to drink? The answer "no" is forbidden."
"Then...then mineral water." Bai Xianzhuo held the few flyers left and said softly.
.......
"It's great!" Aikawa Yushang sighed after finishing half the bottle of drink in one go.
"I'll give you this small air conditioner. It's very comfortable." Bai Xianzhuo looked at Aikawa Yusheng's sweat still pouring out and said.
"No need." Aikawa Yusheng waved his hand to refuse, and looked at the girl with a serious attitude: "Bai Xian-san."
"Say! I'm listening." The change in the boy's expression instantly made the girl sit upright, wringing her hands uneasily, and carefully looking at Yusheng Aikawa.
"Let me test you first. What should you do if you have a heat stroke?"
"You should quickly move the person to a ventilated and cool place, loosen them, take off their clothes, cover them with a cold towel, scrub the whole body with alcohol, ice water or cold water, and then use a fan or electric fan to blow air to speed up heat dissipation.
...
If it is severe enough to cause loss of consciousness, pinch the medium acupuncture points to revive the person. If breathing stops, artificial respiration should be implemented immediately..."
Obviously he has paid attention to this and understood it. Bai Xianzhuo carefully stated a very complete solution to heat stroke.
"Okay, just listen to this." Aikawa Yusheng stopped.
"People's physiques cannot be generalized. Bai Xiansang, you have to remember one thing. Once I suffer from heat stroke, I only need artificial respiration to solve it. Do you understand?"
You don't care when the time comes, just come up and kiss her directly."
"Ah?" Bai Xianzhuo opened his mouth in confusion, his pink tongue seemed to be unsure of where to place it in his mouth, "Three-seven is... twenty-one."
"Why do you just remember things that are no longer important? What should you do if I get a heat stroke now?" Aikawa Yusheng looked at the girl with eyes that hate iron.
"Artificial...artificial respiration?"
"Children can be taught."
Aikawa Yusheng suddenly suffered from heatstroke and fell to the side.
...
Half a minute passed and nothing happened. Aikawa Yusheng opened his eyes: "Where is my artificial respiration?"
"Aikawa-kun...I...I'm just a little stupid, I'm not stupid." The girl said a little shyly.
"!"
"hateful!"
◇
At night, at home in Kamigurazaka.
"Have you noticed that the characters in this anime have fat tigers of various colors in their eyes?"
"Damn you Yabuki Kazuya, give me a wonderful anime viewing experience."
"Stepmother's Troublemaker Is My Ex-Girlfriend" was playing on her mobile phone. Aikawa Yusheng, who was leaning on the sofa and watching, found that he would always subconsciously look into the character's eyes, and then act out, gritting his teeth and cursing.
Yabuki Kazuya told himself that he would never pay attention to this.
I felt that this was not enough to relieve my anger. In the boys' group chat, @yabukikazuya scolded him again and @ all the members: "The characters in this anime have fat tigers of various colors in their eyes."
Okay, now everyone has no viewing experience. Aikawa Yusheng nodded with satisfaction.
Because I had been caught in the rain, I wanted to tear up all other people's umbrellas.
Tianhe Xia Li's dialog box just popped up above, and Aikawa Yusheng clicked in.
"What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Maybe I have a part-time job during the day, and at night I just watch TV shows as usual to pass the time. What's wrong?"
Amamiya Chiran has not yet officially called her over, and Aikawa Yuo, who is not very fond of the entertainment methods of this era, still habitually chooses to work part-time during workdays.
"Do you know what day tomorrow is? [Surprised]."
Aikawa Yusheng pushed up his non-existent glasses, his brain running rapidly: 11=2.
"Isn't your birthday on September 15th?" Aikawa Yusheng entered.
"I didn't say it was my birthday! [Get angry]!"
"Hey, Aikawa-kun, how do you know my birthday? If you care about me so much, you must like me! [Laughs]." Tianhe Xari also sent several emoticons of Minnie dancing.
"It's on the class information registration form, I happened to see it."
"Hey - our names are not connected together. What is a coincidence? Dishonest! I will tell you openly and honestly that I remember your birthday, which is March 1st, right?"
In fact, Aikawa Yusheng didn't even know when his birthday was. The number on the identity ID of this era was the day Arc Yue Jingxue randomly selected to apply for the certificate.
"So what day is tomorrow?" Aikawa Yusheng asked without any excuse, because he subconsciously looked for her name and remembered the information.
"Chinese Valentine's Day! Chinese Valentine's Day! July 7th!"
Pull down the status bar of your phone. Today is July 6th, Wednesday.
In the island country, Chinese Valentine's Day is celebrated on July 7th in the Gregorian calendar, and in some areas, it is celebrated locally on August 7th.
"Qixi Festival -" There was no immediate reply. Aikawa Yusheng raised his head and murmured softly into the air.
He indeed forgot about this festival. To be precise, he didn't have a very clear concept of the so-called festival.
"We made an appointment to go out together, it's not just the two of us, but I want you to go with me, so I'm here to invite you now.
It's at night. Even if you have to work during the day, it doesn't conflict.
Come on, come on."
"Okay." After typing, it was deleted again. Aikawa Yusheng looked at the chat box and keyboard in confusion for a while.
"I'll get back to you later." This was the final message sent.
He directly called Arc Yue Jingxue.
"Hey~" came into the ears, still the lazy and charming long tone of the miko-sama, followed by the sound of running water, and the crisp impact sound of water splashing onto the porcelain floor.
"Are you taking a shower again?" Aikawa Yusheng asked with a smile.
"Yes, you must take a shower before going to bed at night. Love of cleanliness and bathing are my life credo under Hu Yue Jingxue!" There was a sound of palms slapping the water.
"Your mysophobia is reflected in this."
"Why are you calling?"
"Seeing that you haven't come here for a few days, I want to express my condolences to you." Aikawa Yusheng said with a smile. The last time I saw the miko-sama was the end of the semester.
"Be busy, be busy. When Kong Feng can take charge of her own business, I will be the boss." Hu Yue Jingxue said with a smile, "I will impose all these pains on her."
"You should have cultivated an heir earlier."
"It's not too late now. There's still a long way to go anyway."
"Do you know what day tomorrow is?" Aikawa Yusheng asked.
"Isn't your birthday on October 28th?" Arc Yue Jingxue's answer was surprisingly consistent with Aikawa Yusheng's, and she also had a very weak concept of these festivals.
It's just that the number reported is her own birthday.
However, if Aikawa Yusheng is [sober] on that day every year, then he will also celebrate that day as his birthday.
"Tomorrow is Chinese Valentine's Day."
"Oh, it seems so."
"Can you postpone the business for a while and go out to play together tomorrow?"
The only sound that came to my ears was the gurgling sound of the miko-sama's fingers gently gliding across the water in the bathtub.
◇
Lying in the bathtub under the arc moon mirror, looking at the dark water, the snow-white shoulders and skin form a sharp contrast with the dark water.
The running water occasionally formed waves due to her movements, rising and falling, like a quagmire, like a beast that preyed on people, devouring her beautiful body.
In the extremely spacious bathroom with an area of more than 20 square meters, the walls, floor, and ceiling are covered with magic circles. The patterns emerge during operation, like abstract art scrolls, which are so messy that it is difficult to analyze.
"It should...no way."
The empty and lonely bathroom may even have a little echo.
"As you can see, I have been extra busy recently. The great miko of Tokyo is just so busy."
"You didn't have any sense of festivals before, did you? Why did you suddenly think of this today? Let me guess, did a girl invite you to go out to play?"
Before Aikawa Yusheng could say anything else, Arc Yue Jingxue said coherently.
She wanted to avoid the topic.
"It is indeed Tianhe. For the sake of you thinking of me first, go and play with them tomorrow. I allow it! I am very generous, and don't I know what thoughts are in your mind?
"
Leaning on the edge of the bathtub, with the mobile phone wrapped in light close to her ear, Hu Yuejing said with a smile.
"There is really no other way, and this kind of festival is quite boring to me. I might as well just eat the food you cooked for me."
The miko-sama half-immersed her face in the black water and exhaled gently, causing the water to bubble with bubbles.
"Hmm...next time I want to eat sukiyaki, with the best beef in it!"
"Okay, let's just say this first, bye."
"Yeah."
After hanging up the phone, the phone automatically flew to the small table next to it.
There was a smile on Arc Yue Jingxue's face as she leaned in the bathtub, the water surface surging and the magic circle operating.
If you want to gain "eternal life" as a human being, why don't you pay the price?
It has nothing to do with the shrine maiden, but only has to do with Arc Moon Kyōyoshita.
This was the only thing she lied to him about.
Thinking of their encounters over hundreds of years, she smiled even more happily.
◇
When the call ended, Aikawa Yusheng's mobile phone received more messages.
Miyazawa Mao: "Go ahead, Aikawa-san. I have prepared a guide and I promise to lead you all to have a good night. You don't have to believe Tianhe, but you can definitely believe me!"
Takamatsu Junshan: “Long time no see, I miss you so much. It’s the Chinese Valentine’s Day, so we just meet.”
"Why are you joining in the fun?" Aikawa Yusheng replied to Takamatsu Junshan.
"I'm going too! Seeing that you haven't replied, they asked me to persuade you. After all, you may not know this information, but now, you know that as your good father, I am going, you will definitely agree, right?
"
【Do you want to delete this friend?】
【Cancel】
"I will go, but I will ask them that you are not allowed to go. You can reward them at home." Aikawa Yusheng sent the last message to Takamatsu Kimiyama.
【Do you want to delete this friend?】
【confirm】
[I'm not fat, just strong. Please add you as a friend]
【You have declined】
[I'm not fat, just strong. Please add you as a friend]
[Remarks: Aikawa, if we have something to talk about, please contact your friends quickly.]
[Remarks: You didn’t really say it!!!!]
[Note: Dad! Dad! Dad Aikawa! Don’t do this! 】
【You have declined】
.....
"I'll go." Aikawa Yusheng replied to Tianhe Xia Li.
I won’t work any more tomorrow, he thought.
