Chapter III
Patiently waiting for the lilac-haired girl she saw before to take out the coins from her slightly cute purse, the Great Demon King put his shopping basket on the checkout table without waiting for the other party to pack the things he bought into the eco-friendly bag he brought.

For some reason, the teller at the checkout was very nervous, and the hand holding the code scanner kept trembling, and it took a long time to calculate the price.
I wanted to pay like this, but after the Great Demon King took the coins out of his wallet, he realized that the actual price was slightly different from his estimate.
If you buy one less cup of instant noodles, the price is just right, but if you buy five cups in one go, you will get two cups free, and if you only buy four cups, it will be half the price at once! β
A little reluctant to put the instant noodles back in the shopping basket, the big demon king grabbed other things, calculated the difference, and put it down helplessly.
Sure enough, only instant noodles have the lowest discount price, which means that ...... Can only give up? β
Thinking so, there was suddenly a small hand as soft as a bone in front of his vision, and in the palm of his hand lay a coin equal to the size of the face value of the difference.
"Thank you, thank you."
I thought about being polite Xie Absolute, but after weighing his face with three cups of instant noodles in his heart, he still decisively chose the latter.
After settling the account with the other party's money neatly, the Great Demon King wanted to thank the other party again, but found that the girl didn't know when to leave.
Is there still a good man in this place? β
After making such an exclamation, in order to save the fare, or to say that there was no money for a ride, the Great Demon King began to step on the shadow of the setting sun and set foot on the road home.
"I'm back!"
Habitually said this, but after waiting for a long time, no one responded, and after a while, the Great Demon King remembered that he was the only one at home.
'I'm a little bit unaccustomed to it. β
Shaking his head, the Great Demon King began to place the items purchased this time in a suitable position for them little by little, and after doing all this, he cooked himself another cup of instant noodles.
After a simple deal with his stomach, the big demon king remembered the girl he met in the supermarket, and in order to prevent such an embarrassing thing from happening again, he stood up again, ready to take Yingji's salary card to slightly overdraft some out-of-specification living expenses.
"Missing ......"
Under Eihime's pillow, the card that should have been there was missing.
"Wait, I rememberβ"
Memories go back to the morning, when she was packing her own luggage, she seemed to say something...
I'm going to get some fare. β
It seems that after saying this, Yingji put the salary card in her pocket, but after "tweeting" with herself when she went out, both of them forgot about it.
Quickly picked up the phone, wanting to confirm whether it was his memory that had a problem, but as soon as he picked up the microphone, the Great Demon King remembered that Ying Ji had said that he had gone abroad.
I dialed the number, and sure enough, the voice coming out of the microphone was from Kappa who was not in the service area.
I don't have a job.,The family usually relies on Yingji's meager salary to eat.,And because of some unspeakable reasons.,My usual pocket money was killed by Yingji.γ
The two only have one friend in Komachi, and they can't borrow money even if they borrow money.
Besides, this time I bought a discounted item, and I am not allowed to return it.
"In other words, I'm going to rely on seven cupsβ" Turning his head, he glanced at the instant noodle box in the trash can, and changed his words again.
"Can six cups of instant noodles last for a month......
"It's okay! I don't know how many times more difficult the predicament I encountered in the past than it is now, but isn't it also a good life...... Although there is a literary help......"
I accidentally thought of the past, and a suffocating sense of sadness rushed to my heart, and I couldn't get rid of it for a long time.
Haven't you decided to forget the past and live with Eithime in this place where no one knows me? β
Stretching out his hand and patting his cheek vigorously, the Great Demon King finally put those unpleasant memories behind him for the time being.
"Good! Let's go out and look for a job starting tomorrow! β
In the past, because of the economic recession, the rejection of ghosts and ...... Fear of the past and gave up leaving the house for a while, but now there is no way back.
Although he was a little lacking in confidence, the Great Demon King still cheered himself up and said:
"No problem, I lost my strength at that time, but I was able to find a stable job, and now I am stronger than ever, there is no reason why I can't find a job!"
Leaned down, lifted the sheets, and looked at the demon king's armament shining under the bed, the big demon king suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
With anxiety about the future, the Great Demon King fell asleep.
The next morning, the Great Demon King, who was woken up by a rumbling stomach, wanted to eat something, but thought that he only had six cups of instant noodles in his hand, so he gave up his plan to eat breakfast.
I turned around to Komachi's house and opened the refrigerator, only to find that there were still a lot of canned beer in it, so the big demon unceremoniously took it all back to his house.
"Are there still twelve cans? Looks like it's going to last a little longer. β
I simply opened a can, and after pouring it all in one go, although my head felt a little dizzy, my stomach was temporarily filled because of the bubbles, and I finally stopped protesting.
Finding the leaflets he had been collecting from under the coffee table, the Great Demon King looked at the recruitment information on it and quickly selected the target.
"Okay, anyway, let's give it a try!"
