Kazuki Yukihara saw Takenaka Ningchen leave, took a bus, and returned to the National Security College.

Guoan No. 3 Street.

Kazuki Yukihara arrives at a coffee shop.

There are only a few customers in the store, sitting on chairs, crossing Erlang's legs, leisurely enjoying life.

Since entering Guoan High School.

Kazuki Yukihara has been working at a café for almost three years.

The store manager is a kind-eyed old man named Morie Suzuki, and when he laughs, his eyes are narrowed into a thin slit, and his gray eyebrows are spread out, giving people a gentle feeling.

The old man's sons and daughters, Kazuki Yukihara has never seen them.

I only know that the old man has a granddaughter named China Suzuki, who is the same age as him and is also a student of the National Security Academy.

However, China Suzuki is in the third (twelfth) class of high school, and he is in the third (eleven) class of high school.

"Kazuki-kun, come so early today."

It was Jiang Zuowan'er who spoke, and she was the cashier, part-time barista, and sometimes guest waitress in the store.

Kazuki Yukihara said with a smile: "There is nothing to do in the academy, I am idle and bored, so I came over early." ”

Near the window, there was a young man who quipped, "I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." ”

Yanagi Remnant Sword, he is a frequent customer of the coffee shop, and he is suspected of having a crush on Jiang Zuo Wan'er.

He has a cheerful personality, likes to brag about himself, and often boasts that he is a master of kendo.

In fact, even ordinary demons can't be beaten, and they were bitten off by an F-class dog demon a year ago, and they have been recuperating for almost a year, and they have only recently recovered.

"I'm looking at a tree for Miss China."

A sentence came out of an inconspicuous corner.

This is another regular customer of the café, Nagagawa Soratani, whose personality is the opposite of Yanagi's remnant sword, is an out-and-out stuffy gourd, who is silent on weekdays, and sometimes can't hold back a word all day.

Yanagi Remnant Sword laughed and agreed, "I think so." ”

Kazuki Yukihara ignored the ridicule of the two and walked into the locker room.

Meanwhile.

A young girl walked into the café.

The skin is like congealed fat, the eyes are watery, the appearance is beautiful, and there is no flaw to be found.

Wearing a white dress, black and bright green silk, it hangs down naturally, like a fairy who has fallen into the world.

"China-sana, you're back."

Suzuki Qianna smiled and unfolded her jade hand, and said excitedly: "Sister Wan'er, look at what this is." ”

In the jade palm lay a golden plaque with a small red sword engraved on it.

Jiang Zuowan'er praised: "Miss Qiannai, congratulations." ”

Suzuki China smiled very happily, and suddenly saw Kazuki Yukihara walking out of the locker room, quickly put away his smile, and said, "Kazuki-kun, Miss Ben will protect you." ”

Hear the words.

Kazuki in the snow couldn't cry or laugh.

China Suzuki is a girl who is overflowing with love, and since she knows about his suffering, she is determined to protect him in the future.

Seeing Kazuki Yukihara's indifferent appearance, China Suzuki exhaled angrily, "I'm already a trainee investigator." ”

Yukihara Kazuki replied lightly: "Congratulations." ”

"You, you, you, me off."

China Suzuki stomped her foot angrily, snorted coldly, and walked into the locker room.

Yanagi Remnant Sword laughed with an exaggerated expression, and secretly gave a thumbs up to express his admiration.

"What two living treasures."

Jiang Zuowan'er couldn't help laughing.

Night falls.

The number of customers at the café has increased.

Kazuki Yukihara was in charge of the coffee blending, China Suzuki was the waiter, and Ezo Wan'er was the cashier.

There were a lot of guests on the weekend, and seeing that Kazuki Yukihara was too tired to be busy, Morie Suzuki took the initiative to come over and help make coffee.

Suzuki Morie moved skillfully, more than twice as fast, and when he saw beads of sweat on his granddaughter's forehead, he took over the coffee preparation work alone.

Kazuki Yukihara became a waitress and got busy with China Suzuki.

It's tiring to work.

It lasted until late at night, when there was time to rest.

At work, the four of them do not have a fixed position and help each other.

In life, we take care of each other like relatives.

Just like the name of the coffee shop - Happy Coffee Shop, it brings a different kind of happiness to Yukihara Kazuki.

It was late at night.

Kazuki Yukihara walked alone on the silent street, looking up at the full moon in the night sky, remembering the appearance of China Suzuki, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and muttered, "I will protect you too." ”

Walking through the cold campus and returning to the dormitory, the door of Takenaka's Ningchen House was closed, and he thought that he had rested.

After Yukihara Kazuki washed, he lay down on the bed and entered the sea of spiritual consciousness.

The Flame Bear still digs at the ice with its claws, and the icicles seem to have become delicious bones that the three-headed dog gnaws tirelessly.

Seeing that they did not wantonly destroy, Snow Plains Kazuki planned to withdraw from the Spiritual Consciousness Sea.

Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound from the location of the clear spring.

Curious.

A tree in the snowfield floated down to the clear spring.

At the bottom of the clear spring, a small drop of water actually appeared.

After a closer inspection, Kazuki Yukihara was surprised to find that in just one day, the clear spring seemed to expand a little, and hurriedly called out the transparent panel.

Host: Snow Plains Kazuki

Level: F (Beginner), Progress: (3/10)

Abilities: Card crafting, card summoning

Card: Flame Bear, Three-Headed Dog (1/3)

"Progress increased by three points?"

"What's going on?"

Kazuki looked thoughtfully at the Flame Bear and the Three-Headed Dog and said to himself, "Could it be that they did it?" ”

Order both to stand in place.

Kazuki Yukihara flew to the location of the Flame Bear and found a shallow scratch on the ice, and flew to the position of the three-headed dog, and there was also a tooth mark on the icicle.

Then, Kazuki Yukihara squatted on the ground and moved the three-headed dog's mouth away.

The tip of the dog's tooth exuded a faint golden glow, and he hurriedly returned to the position of the flame bear, and the tip of his claws also had a weak and undetectable golden glow.

Yukihara Kazuki squatted on the ground, remembering the actions of the flame bear and the three-headed dog, and guessed: "Is it possible to dig the ice surface, you can exercise your claws, and the three-headed dog can gnaw on icicles and polish your dog's teeth." ”

But even if this is the case, why did his mental power increase?

Wait a minute!

Kazuki Yukihara thought of a key point, the Flame Bear and the Three-Headed Dog are not really summons, they are essentially a card.

The upper limit of the card's ability is closely related to his mental power.

Therefore, the Flame Bear and the Three-Headed Dog fed back all the spiritual power they had gained to him.

This doesn't mean that from now on, he doesn't need to deliberately practice, as long as he collects cards and drives summons, his spiritual power can grow.

Thinking of this, Yukihara Kazuki was ecstatic in his heart, as if he had walked through the cold winter, and saw a spring with a hundred flowers in full bloom, and a beautiful and moving girl among the flowers.

Kazuki Yukihara immediately unfastens the control of the Flame Bear and the Three-Headed Dog.

Then, he withdrew from the sea of spiritual consciousness and lay on the bed, with strange laughter coming out of his mouth from time to time.

Next door bedroom.

Takenaka Ningchen woke up from a sweet dream, with a chill in his heart, and he couldn't fall asleep over and over.

Tonight.

Destined to be a sleepless night.

……

Day 2.

The two walked out of the bedroom with dark circles under their eyes.

However, Kazuki Yukihara was in good spirits, and the excitement in his eyes had not yet gone down, while Takenaka Ningchen was sluggish, like a pickled radish.
