Although the income has become a mosquito leg, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and Shirakawa Zehei is not a chaebol like Miss Xia Zhi, nor is he a big landlord like a monster, he should be diligent and thrifty. Therefore, in general, when it is possible to take leave to avoid absence, Shirakawa Sawapei certainly cannot let the small capitalist Hinata Rito have an excuse to deduct his salary.

Today, however, Shirakawa Sawapei's purpose is clearly different from his usual leave.

"Is Hinata here?"

"Hmm... Inside... But the Foreman Shirakawa... Are you here to take a leave of absence again? ”

Shirakawa nodded awkwardly. Then he seemed to feel a little embarrassed and explained: "I have an exam this month, and I can be on duty for a few more days after the holiday." ”

"After this month, I may have to quit."

"Huh?"

"Why so suddenly? Is something wrong? ”

He shook his head lightly and didn't say anything, and at this moment Hinata Rion walked out of it and saw Shirakawa Zehei and greeted: "Shirakawa-kun, you are here, come in." ”

Shirakawa Zehei responded, and followed Hinata Riyin to a no-man's corner, and the minotaur painter turned around and said with a grudge: "I didn't expect that even you would have to resign... Shirakawa-kun, you must have been poached by Ichiro Watanabe, the guy who drew lilies. ”

"That thing said it wants to cow me, is it playing really??"

God, I was poached by the Lily Minotaur Painter!

Shirakawa Zehei's face darkened and denied: "No, I wanted to resign because of my studies and time." ”

"Cut, it's so nice, Xiao Brocade says that you are a super god, how can it be because of this." The minotaur painter said with disdain: "Everyone is a friend, can you be honest." ”

"Your maid café is on the right track, I'm dispensable as a foreman, and I've been taking a lot of leave lately... The sense of existence is so weak, let's just let you save your salary to Miss Koyama. She did more work than I did, and she did her duty as a foreman. ”

In short, it's a retirement.

This is actually not difficult to understand, when Yuan Pinghang recommended him to help, it was because Hinata Riyin's maid coffee shop had just started, and he was worried that she would be hot for three minutes, and he wanted to give up when he encountered a little setback. So I asked Shirakawa Zehei to come over for a part-time job, on the one hand, I could improve his salary, and on the other hand, I hoped that he could help her persevere.

However, Yuan Pinghang obviously underestimated an old two-dimensional love for the maid coffee shop, and Hinata Riyin not only did not give up, but also did it step by step under the competition of the lily minotaur painter.

Now that the goal has been achieved and the operation of the coffee shop has stabilized, it is naturally impossible for Shirakawa Zehei to continue to rely on this idle salary - it is one thing to be diligent and thrifty, and it is another thing to have a clear conscience, and he is not the most popular maid in the store, and he can't do it by hand... Coffee? Of course, you have to run early.

Really? Shirakawa Zehei also has a worry in his heart, his ordinary daily life? It seems that it can't be maintained any longer... Part-time work with a fishing girl? The days when you stop by oden at night and stay in your memories like summer? Fade together over time...

Hinata Riyin frowned, as if he was trying to find some reason to refute? After a while, he said helplessly: "Forget it? Since you've said so, I can't forcibly detain you like a black-hearted boss... Are you leaving at the end of the month? ”

"Hmm."

"It's a pity, I wanted to rub off on your new piano master's name... Why didn't I listen to you and put a piano in the shop..."

"Is it too late to swing? I can play a few days this month. ”

"Late? There's already a pianist in the store, a part-time high school girl. ”

Shirakawa Zehei was stunned, and subconsciously looked into the corner, and sure enough, there was a piano and a little girl wearing the uniform of the school next door. Her back was thin and small, and her shoulders were nervously crumbling? Judging from the side face, her appearance is average, and she is an ordinary girl.

Did she play the theme song of "Game Life"? In this two-dimensional style coffee shop, it looks very appropriate. Because people were a little nervous, there were a few notes that didn't play very well. Shirakawa Sawahei stood there and listened for a while? Suddenly smiled softly.

What if, at the beginning, it was said that Hinata Sato moved the piano to the store? Maybe I'll play anime OP and all kinds of two-dimensional house tunes in front of everyone like that ordinary girl.

Recall the scene when I first met the fishing girl and the minotaur artist Rito Hinata when I first started school? And how did you feel when you first reported from working at a maid café? Shirakawa Sawapei suddenly felt that he seemed to have changed a lot compared to the beginning.

Not only the relationship with the girls, but also his ideas and goals, as the situation continues to change, and gradually new developments are generated.

Originally, his purpose was very clear, to study hard every day, get admitted to a good university and reach the pinnacle of life. Now I don't have to worry about studying, but the flag that I didn't fall in love with is at risk of being broken at any time...

It wasn't known if the change was good or bad, but the only thing he knew for sure was that he couldn't resist it.

Change is the normal state of life, and the reason why those things that have always been precious may be precisely because of this contrast.

Just let it be, things aren't as bad as they seem.

Shirakawa Zehei sighed faintly, and Hinata Riyin was curious when he saw this: "Do you regret this?" If Shirakawa-kun still wants to come back..."

"No, let her work part-time, I just remembered something."

"Well... Then Shirakawa-kun, you'll come over with Xiaojin to play in the future, right? ”

"Well, of course."

"That's good~ Do you want to come over with Xiaojin for Christmas to attend the Christmas party in our store?"

Shirakawa Zehei hesitated for a moment, although Hinata Riyin's expression was sincere, but he always felt that this thing didn't seem to have any good intentions.

I should have a schedule for Christmas, right? Didn't you?

Is it really going to be left to two book artists? Their Christmas party,It's not going to be an R18 book appreciation meeting...

Thinking of this, Shirakawa Sawapei decided to politely reject Hinata Rito.

"Actually... At Christmas, Ichishiki Ha said to me..."

The minotaur painter seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his head, and nodded again and again: "Oh oh ~ I know, sorry to bother, you two have a good Christmas... Stay safe..."

“……”

You pay attention to safety... Is it serious?

In order to avoid being looked at by the minotaur painter with strange eyes, Shirakawa Zehei chose to run away directly after taking leave.

Don't ask, if you ask, it's wrong with her.

When I got home, there was already a fish monster on the sofa scene, as well as a monster, and when I saw Shirakawa Zehei appear, there seemed to be a red exclamation mark flashing above my head, so I quickly sat up and put on my slippers, and ran over with a snap.
