Tokyo Survival from Tamamomae

Chapter 49 The Story of Xue Ji

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the Chinese restaurant where Haoren works part-time.

"Staff Sang, bring me another glass of draft beer!"

"..."

"Staff, bring me a glass of draft beer!"

"Oh...here we come!"

Hao Ren, who was sitting at a small table in the store, was frowning and thinking about the sword witch, was suddenly woken up by a customer, and hurriedly brought a glass of beer from the back kitchen and served it to the customer.

"Hao Renjun, what's the matter, you don't look energetic today? Have you encountered any trouble?"

Hori Takeuchi, who was sitting in front of the cashier, glanced at Hirohito who was obviously absent-minded, and asked aloud.

"It's okay, store manager, I just participated in the club activities of the Kendo Club today, and I'm a little tired!"

Naturally, Hao Ren would not explain the sword shaman to the store manager Takeuchi, after all, the other party is just an ordinary person.

"Are you a little tired? Then go back and rest early, I will pay you the part-time job today according to normal working hours!"

It was rare for Hori Takeuchi to restrain his usual attitude of molesting Haoren, and said with a hint of concern.

"Ah, okay."

Haoren froze for a moment, then nodded quickly.

If he was really targeted by the sword witch, in fact, he thought about it alone, and he couldn't think of any good countermeasures for the time being, so he might as well brainstorm, go home early, and discuss countermeasures with Feiju.

On the contrary, Haoren is still a little grateful for the widow's female store manager.

It doesn't matter that he doesn't have much work assigned to him, and he often takes care of him. If he is not feeling well, he will be asked to leave work early.

Out of gratitude, Haoren bowed slightly, and said:
"Thank you boss!"

Seeing Haoren thanking Haoren so politely, Sui Li, who was more serious just now, suddenly returned to his usual posture, twisting his waist, stepping on wooden clogs, and walked quickly to Haoren's side, reaching out to pat him on the face , Jiao smiled and said:
"Hehehe~ Brat, why are you still so formal? If you really want to thank me, wait until you are not tired someday, don't leave at night, and have a few drinks with me!"

Haoren blushed, quickly dodged the white and tender hand extended by the store manager Takeuchi, stepped aside and did not answer.

If it were normal, he would have refuted and rejected it sternly.

But the so-called short-handed, cannibalism.

The store manager Takeuchi asked him to leave work early, and still counted his wages.

He was embarrassed to refute, and could only sigh a few words in his heart.

A mature woman deserves to be a mature woman!

This kind of giving a sweet date, and then flirting with you openly, makes you embarrassed to refuse, and only experienced women can come out!

If one day he really gets tricked by accident, maybe Mrs. Takeuchi will give him...

What is that called?
I drive a big car in Tokyo?

Shaking his head, shaking out the strange thoughts that suddenly popped up in his head, Haoren went back to the rest room and changed the clothes in the shop.

After changing his clothes, Hao Ren came to the cashier and was about to say goodbye to the store manager Takeuchi when he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, store manager, I have something to do this weekend and I can't come here, so I want to ask for a leave!"

He was supposed to go to work this weekend, but because he had discussed with Fei Ju that he was going to look for Xue Ji, he naturally asked for a leave of absence.

"Ask for leave? Do you have anything to do this weekend?"

"I'm going to the Shinjuku area to meet an old friend!"

Hao Ren explained a sentence with half truth and half lie.

"What? Are you going to the Shinjuku area this weekend?"

Hao Ren thought that the store manager Takeuchi just asked this casually, but after hearing his answer, the store manager exclaimed.

"Uh, yes, is there a problem with that, store manager?"

"Oh, it's okay, I'm just a little surprised to hear that you are going to travel far away!"

Hori realized that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly put her hand on her forehead to cover up her gaffe.

Fortunately, Hao Ren was only slightly puzzled for a while, and without thinking too much, he said goodbye directly:
"Then, manager, I have nothing to do, I'll go first..."

"and many more!"

However, before he could finish his farewell words, Hori yelled to stop him.

"Boss, is there anything else?"

"Well, what, you'd better not go to Shinjuku on weekends!"

Haoren: "???"

At this moment, Hori didn't know what words to use to describe his mood.

This brat is actually going to Shinjuku on the weekend?
What a joke, the Shinjuku area will be covered by her large barrier on weekends, and many demon kings will break into it.

Although the three major ghost agencies will inform the local people to try not to go out on weekends, and her enchantment will also protect the people in the building, but that is also very dangerous!

This kid is still foolishly running towards danger, isn't he courting death!

Looking at Haoren with doubts written all over his face, Hori Takeuchi turned his head quickly, trying to figure out what excuses to use to dispel Haoren's thoughts.

It would definitely not work to say it directly, as it would expose her identity as the Goddess of Formation, so I could only think of another reason.

"By the way, it's because of this. Recently, a very dangerous monster appeared in Shinjuku District—Xue Ji, you can't go, it will be dangerous!"

Hearing Suili's words, Haoren's heart moved slightly.

After thinking for a while, he said again with doubts on his face:

"Xue Ji? What kind of monster is that? Is it dangerous?"

"Xue Ji is actually a Snow Girl, an A-level monster who is good at making ice and snow.

She usually lives in the deep mountains, similar to humans, but has snow-white skin and a stunningly beautiful appearance.

They like to lure men into snow-capped mountains and freeze them, and take away their souls for practical use. They are very dangerous demons..."

"Xue Ji is Xue Nu? I know Xue Nu, but don't Xue Nu usually live in the deep mountains?
Why did she appear in the city?How do you know, manager? "

Xue Ji is Xue Nu, this Hao Ren has heard Fei Ju said a long time ago.

But because the store manager Takeuchi suddenly mentioned information about Xue Ji, he naturally wanted to ask for clarification.

At least I want to know why the store manager Takeuchi knows about Xue Ji.

Why do you have so many questions, are you a hundred thousand why?

Being asked such continuous questions by Haoren, Suili almost got black lines all over his head, but in order to dispel his thoughts, Suili still replied patiently:
"I have a friend from the Witch Organization, she told me that this is internal news from the Spirit Elimination Agency, don't spread it everywhere!
As for why Xue Ji appeared in the city, it was because Xue Ji was born with a cold temperament, which made them inherently lack of emotion.

Some Xue Ji will choose to integrate into the city and seek to experience human emotions to make up for their missing feelings. This Xue Ji stays in the city, mostly to find feelings..."

Speaking of this, Hori paused for a while, and said with a hint of warning:

"Leaving aside these, in short, you must not go to Shinjuku on weekends, it is very dangerous.

All right, you go back quickly! "

……

"Looking for feelings...?"

After being sent away by the store manager, on the way home, Hao Ren kept thinking about what she had said.

"Although the store manager had good intentions and told me not to go to Shinjuku, she didn't know that what I was looking for was Xue Ji herself.

Sorry, store manager, I can't take your advice! "

Just thinking about it, Hao Ren returned home soon.

However, when he got home, he met an unexpected person.

"Hoshino Rumi? Why are you back?"
