Chapter 74. Talk before support
Sister Xiao Ye and Xi Paper sat on the chair in a daze. Qianxia and Lun, the two little sisters, also leaned against the front desk, kicking their little i legs boringly.
Sister Wrist stood at the back of the front desk and looked at the two little Loli below.
- No one.
- No, I don't.
The two poisonous tongues looked at the spacious, deserted 'restaurant'. sighed calmly.
"yes, why don't you two go upstairs first. It's enough to hand it over to Nozomi and Xiaoye here." Sister Wrist said with concern.
- Thank you, Sister Wrist, but it's working time.
- You cannot leave your post during working hours.
The two Loli replied calmly.
"Hehehe, okay." After speaking, Sister Wrist glanced at the store, and then asked, "Na, Lun, Qianxia."
- Huh?
The two little Loli said in unison.
"Yesterday, Xiao Jiu called you up and said something. I see that when you come back, it's like... Not so happy?" Sister Wrist asked softly.
Len and Chinatsu looked at each other, "Is there?" x2
The two of them wondered at the same time, and at this moment, Lun shook his head imperceptibly, as if he was hiding something.
The wrist sister on the other side saw that the two little Loli didn't answer, so she continued, "If there is anything unhappy, you must say it. Although Xiao Jiu cares about you very much, she may not be very good at expressing herself. So, if there's something hard to say, I can relay it to you."
- It's really fine.
- Please don't bother, Sister Wrist.
At this moment, Xiao Ye and Xi Zhi, who were sitting next to him, also looked over here.
"So yesterday, Xiao Jiu came to you, what did you say~" Xi Zhi noticed Lun's head just now, so he asked deliberately.
- Secrets.
- The host wouldn't let us speak.
"Huh? Xiao Jiu won't let you say it. Roar~ That's even more curious~ Say, let's talk about it~ What the hell is going on~" Xi Paper, who was sitting at the table, put his cheek on his cheek with one hand, sweetly hooked the corners of his mouth, and aimed at Lun and Qianxia badly.
Looking at this grinning expression, the two little Lori's eyes were crooked, and they chose to ignore the paper as if they were disgusted.
And Nozomi didn't care at all, and continued to laugh: "Hmph, hum."
Lun lowered his head slightly, his eyes swayed, and he seemed to be a little shaken whether he wanted to say it or not.
With a wavering glint in his eyes, Len's memory faded to last night—7:49 a.m.
The camera pans up and passes through the ceiling of the hall on the first floor of the Tieying Guild to the temporary guest room on the second floor, where Len and Chinatsu are in their temporary bedrooms.
【Enter Memories】
The crystal lamp at the top of the room emitted a soft shimmer. Outside the curtains was a blue-and-white light that was brighter than inside the house.
The silver-haired Lori was suspended on the floor in the center of the room, while Len and Chinatsu sat together on the bed, their small hands slightly clenched due to nervousness. The faces of the two Lori girls were a little nervous.
"Master, is there anything important about you looking for us?" The black-haired two-ponytailed Loli asked cautiously.
"I don't want to suck blood. Well, with the master's appetite, he shouldn't have sucked us dry all at once." The brown slanted ponytail loli (Chinatsu) whispered to the side.
"Hmm...... It's kind of important." The silver-haired Loli hesitated for a moment, then replied with a smile and calmness.
"The Prayer Festival is coming soon. This is my Prayer Day gift for you, so take it." Ninety-nine said as he reached out and placed two gold coins in his small hand. The next moment, the two gold coins suddenly flew up and hovered in front of Lun and Qianxia's eyes.
- Gifts?
- Gold?!
The two Loli looked at the glittering gold coin in amazement.
Lun and Qianxia once lived in a remote ancient farming village that lived on farming and animal husbandry, so naturally they had no concept of pocket money.
The opportunity to touch money can only be touched when you are asked by your family to run errands and buy spices and vegetables. But I've only touched copper coins, not even silver coins.
So at this moment, Ninety-Nine's act of directly handing over a gold coin to them is tantamount to giving 10,000 yuan to two primary school students who only have 1 yuan a day of pocket money.
How could these two little Loli be calm. Although today, the coins transferred by their hands in the guild have long exceeded 1 gold coin, but it is someone else's money, and this is about to become their own money, how can it be compared.
With the excitement and excitement of the heart, the two little Loli immediately became suspicious.
The hand they were going to hold on to the coin stopped in mid-air
- Master, what do you mean?
- It's not like we're going to 'take money and donate blood'.
Len and Chinatsu's tones were a little scared.
"Hmph, what do you think. It's just a gift for the Prayer Day. If you have to have a reason, then please...... Work well in the guild in the future. I heard Sister Wrist say that you are working very hard today, so please stick to it in the future." Ninety-nine's voice was calm and fast.
He replied too calmly and quickly, as if he had been prepared for it.
"Hmm......" Lun was still a little skeptical and didn't take the money immediately.
But Chinatsu on the side had already held the gold coin in the palm of her hand and quickly stuffed it into the pocket of the maid's suit, "Hmm! We will."
As the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge early, whether it is Lun or Qianxia, they are not the kind of children who spend the money when they take it, but children who will choose to save it and use it when the time is right.
"Qianxia......" Lun was still a little nervous, and whispered that Qianxia's hand was too fast.
"Okay~ Just take what the master gives." Qianxia said with a smile, and at the same time put it in Lun's ear, and whispered, "When the master comes back, we can use this money to buy gifts for the master."
"Don't buy me gifts! Keep it for yourselves." Ninety-nine immediately stopped, obviously at this moment, Qianxia's voice was even quieter than when he was thinking about it just now, but ninety-nine heard it.
Qianxia immediately realized that the words she said earlier about her master's small appetite must have been heard by her master. So he immediately showed a shy, embarrassed and bitter smile.
And Lun looked at the owner who was instantly serious for 1 point in astonishment.
Ninety-Nine continued, "The wages here may be very low, and you have only been working for one day, so you can't pay them right away. So this money is just in case."
- Huh? Just in case?
- What do you mean, master?
The two loli girls trembled, and immediately turned their eyes to ninety-nine in vigilance. The gold coin still floated in front of Lun.
"Detailed ...... Guess what's right." Ninety-nine's expression, which had always been relatively calm, actually showed a lovely smile at this moment.
"Forehead ......" x2
The two sisters trembled and immediately felt that their master seemed to be a little black-bellied.
"Quickly put the money away, and then reach for your left hand with your palm up." Ninety-Nine immediately changed back to a serious expression.
"Oh......"
Lun obediently put away the gold coin, and together with Chinatsu, stretched out his left hand in some fear.
- Master, are you trying to suck blood?
- The ...... I haven't washed my hands yet.
Ninety-nine heard Qianxia's failure to wash his hands, his expression instantly became indifferent, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, "Calm down!" Can't complain! Hurry. He gasped inwardly, then pursed his lips again. In a short period of 2 seconds, he successfully suppressed the urge to complain in his heart.
