I'm just an information dealer

-------Separation Area-------

It's another [-]-word chapter. I've been thinking about it for a long time since I wrote it this morning.

Originally, I was just planning to stop at the end of the writing, but because my friend said that he wanted to see more candy, so the second half of the little fox's prank came about.

I hope you like it. I also try my best to write out the places that I think are very sweet. Can you tell me your evaluation?

Extra chapter: Father's Day extra special

In the alley bar, Argo put the finished quilt into the sink and began to wash, while Miyano Akemi and Iwasawa Masami were cleaning up the environment in the store.

It is now past ten o'clock in the morning on August 3th. At this time, the alley bar has just closed, and the last batch of customers just left [-] minutes ago.

So at this time, everyone in the store is cleaning the store environment, and then they can close up after get off work.

"Yeah, today is Father's Day."

Looking at the news broadcast on the TV on the side shelf, where the children were embracing their father, Argo couldn't help sighing.

"Father's Day, the most suitable person to be a father here is the store manager, right?"

Miyano Akemi held the broom and looked at the store manager who was arranging wine bottles in the corner.

The store manager just said to Mingmei with a smile:

"Hehehe, it's probably just my appearance, I'm a bad old man, but I'm unmarried."

"Eh!?" Miyano Akemi was shocked.

"Huh!?" Masami said the same.

Immediately, the two turned their questioning gazes to Argo, and Argo nodded in response.

"The store manager is indeed unmarried, but I remember that he used to have a lover, but I am not very clear about this, so I will ask the store manager myself."

Argo gestured to the store manager, since she was brought back by the store manager when she was five years old, she has never seen any family members of the store manager.

I just saw a photo of him taking a photo with a woman she didn't know when he was young from the store manager's room. After asking the store manager, he only got this kind of response.

"That, is the only person I've ever loved deeply."

Although she only got such a response, it was enough for Argo, even if she didn't know why the woman was not with the store manager now.

Is it the store manager's unrequited love?Or had a relationship?Is it because of the division that you are not with the store manager?Or left?Or maybe...

Argo didn't ask any further questions, after all, unless they were in a similar profession, most of them ended up with a bad ending.

All in all, if the store manager wants to say something, he can tell her. It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to, and she will not object to the store manager's wishes.

Seeing that Argo threw the question back, the store manager counterattacked.

"But compared to an old man like me, Argo is the most suitable father here. After all, she is the one who has children."

"Ah, you mean Xia Shi."

Mingmei thought of the girl who acted as her younger sister's bodyguard. Although she was ten years old, her tone of voice and demeanor sounded like an adult's.

Compared with Xiao Ai, who has the body of a 7-year-old child and the heart of an 18-year-old girl, she is in perfect harmony.

Argo was the one who adopted Xia Shi and acted as guardian. At that time, Xia Shi was only seven and a half years old and almost eight years old.

"Xia Shi, that child can be said to be very reassuring. He has matured to take care of himself since he was a child. Sometimes he can accomplish many things by himself without my help. It can be said that it makes me worry a lot."

Perhaps it was because he found it from human traffickers, or it was because of the fusion of dolphin DNA, Xia Shi is more mature in thinking and doing things than his peers.

So many things can be done by herself without the help of Argo, for which Argo is both proud and disappointed.

The pride is because Xia Shi doesn't want to be naughty and rebellious like those bear children, and the loss is because Xia Shi is too mature, so that Argo doesn't feel much like a parent.

Maybe she should find another child to adopt to take care of, but the child can't be adopted at random, and a lot of children can be eliminated just by being suitable for the job of an intelligence agent.

Let's think about it later, Argo shook his head and continued to wash the quilt, while Minmei and Yami continued to chat about Father's Day.

"By the way, I haven't seen Akemi-san's parents."

Yami looked at Mingmei suspiciously, but the other party smiled wryly and said:

"My parents passed away when I was young, and Xiao Ai and I have always relied on each other."

Just like their sisters' previous identities, their parents were members of the organization, scientists responsible for some confidential experiments.

It's a pity that the twins passed away shortly after Xiao Ai was born, so Xiao Ai has lived with her since she was a child. Without this only relative, Ming Mei might go crazy like this.

If Xiao Ai also lost her...Ming Mei really didn't dare to think about it.

"Ah! Sorry! I don't know..."

Yami bowed her head full of apology and apologized, she really didn't want to deliberately say that others were sad.

"It's okay, it's been several years, I've already been sad when I should be sad, now I should concentrate on taking care of Xiao Ai."

Mingmei smiled indifferently. After all, for the two of them, the other is their only remaining family member, so they should cherish the present even more at this time.

Looking at Miyano Akemi's happy smile, Masami said enviously:

"That's great, Ms. Minmei's parents must be good parents, compared to mine..."

Argo listened quietly. Everyone present knew how irresponsible Yami's parents were. If she hadn't helped, Yami might have spent the rest of her life in the hospital.

Just when Mingmei wanted to comfort Yami, the other party cheered her up earlier.

"Well, don't worry, I don't have any feelings for them anymore anyway, it's better to say that thanks to them I can meet Miss Argo, and I can also meet everyone."

Speaking of this, Yami gave Argo a grateful smile, and Argo just coughed a little shyly, and then said to the two:

"Okay, let's talk about you all don't want to get off work, hurry up and do things."

"Yes~" x 2

After being read by Argo, everyone continued to clean, and the environment in the store was tidied up in a short time.

After that, Minmei went back to the rental house to rest and sleep, and Yami was going out to accept the audition test of the record company. Today, Masami Iwazawa is also running on her music road in order to support her dream with music.

The store was deserted all of a sudden, only Argo was left at the bar to organize things and the store manager went to the warehouse to check the materials

Although neither of them was a talkative person, the atmosphere was not awkward, but rather peaceful.

Before Mingmei and Yami came to work, it was Argo who helped the store manager alone. Over time, Argo was doing all the business in the store, and the store manager became a helper instead.

But Argo didn't mind, instead he took it for granted.

Even though the store manager is in good health, it can't change the fact that he is already very old. Taking care of the business in the store is tiring enough, not to mention the fact that the store manager spent 15 years raising Argo.

So Argo felt that it was normal for her to take over the work in the store in order to repay the store manager's kindness of nurturing.

"Deep く朱き润む系甜い色のスカート揺らす～"

Suddenly, there was music in the store, which was the ringtone of Argo's mobile phone.

Picking up the phone and checking the call, I found that it was Xia Shi calling.

At this time, Xia Shi and Xiao Ai should still be in school. Although he felt puzzled in his heart, Argo still connected the phone.

"What's the matter, Xia Shi?"

"Ah... that..."

Xia Shi's voice came from the other end of the phone, but unlike usual, Xia Shi's tone was a little more uncomfortable and shy.

And if Argo heard correctly, she heard the laughter of some children in the background on the other side of the phone, and if she guessed correctly, it should be Xia Shi and the others' classmates.

"Hi, is there anything you can call at this hour?"

"It's not...that...uh..."

Xia Shi seemed to be at a loss as if he didn't know what to say, and Argo also felt that Xia Shi seemed very nervous now.

"It doesn't matter, take your time, wait until you think about what to say."

Argo comforted Xia Shi with a voice, it was hard to imagine that Xia Shi, who is usually mature and steady, would be so flustered.

But this also made Argo sigh, this is how he looks like a ten-year-old child.

"That's right...today is Father's Day, right?"

Xia Shi's nervous voice came from the other end of the phone, and after hearing this, Argo also roughly guessed why Xia Shi called.

"Well, I know, so?"

"that........."

Xia Shi stopped after talking a few times. Argo heard the sound of deep breathing on the phone, and also heard Xia Shi's classmates saying cheers to her.

Afterwards, Xia Shi went all out as if giving up on himself.

"I have always lived alone, and learning to live alone without causing trouble to others is the principle I have always followed."

"Actually, I know that I can't accomplish many things by myself. I have encountered many difficulties in the past, but every time I can get through it safely."

"......"

"But I always knew that I didn't solve these things, but someone secretly helped me, gave me a lot, and taught me a lot."

"So don't feel that I don't need your care and help. On the contrary, I will be very happy if you can rely on me more."

"......" Argo closed his eyes, quietly listening to Xia Shi's inner confession.

"Since you adopted me, I have always regarded you as my real parents, and I have always remembered the care of you over the years."

"So it's... I am very grateful for your nurturing and taking care of me."

Xia Shi took a deep breath, although it was a little shy to ask her to say such a thing, but it must be done, so just say it.

"What I want to say is..."

"Happy Father's Day to you, I love you."

Although he felt much more comfortable after speaking, Xia Shi was a little flustered that the other party hadn't responded yet.

"......"

There was still no response, just when Xia Shi thought he had actually hung up the phone, laughter suddenly came from the other end.

"Hehe~ When did you become such an emotional child?"

"No! I'm serious!"

Hearing the laughter from his classmates, Xia Shi felt that his face must have turned very red.

"Hehehe~ I know~"

Argo leaned on the bar and talked on the phone with a gentle expression on his face.

"It's good to hear you say something like that, but it should be said on Mother's Day, right?"

"Hmm... there's no way..."

"I know, you should call if you lost a bet with your classmates or lost in the boxing game."

Argo said with a smile, but actually Father's Day or Mother's Day doesn't matter, because Xia Shi's guardian is only her.

"......"

Xia Shi didn't respond, but Argo should be able to guess the way her eyes drifted.

"I am very satisfied with your gratitude, and I don't expect you to do anything in return, as long as I can grow up safely and healthily."

Recalling the miserable appearance of Xia Shi in the original book, the appearance of disappearing before even enjoying the beautiful world, Argo hoped so.

"Make friends happily, don't have to worry about how to live your life, where to go to play, eat, drink and sleep are all fine, that's all I expect from you."

"If you really want to repay me, you can just say the same as just now, or you can call me mom or dad."

"I got it……"

"Good boy, but this is a rare thing you say to me, so to celebrate this moment, let's go out to dinner tonight~"

Argo said with a smile.

"Okay, you also called, let's talk about the rest after you and Xiao Ai come back.

"Well, I see...Mom."

Hanging up the phone with a smile, Argo can finally feel the mood and happiness of those parents today.

On the other side, after Xia Shi hung up the phone, he also put away the phone with a smile on his face.
