Yamanaka House.

Compared to the Haruno family, Yamanaka Ino's parents are much easier to say.

"Since it's at his place, you can go if you like, but don't cause trouble to people, and do things consistently, if you do it for a few days and don't want to do it, then you'd better not go."

Yamanaka Haiichi educates his daughter, a bit of a one-size-fits-all.

He is a person who is not good at words and does not smile, so he naturally doesn't know how to say it, just saying what he thinks is okay, which is the opposite of his daughter's character.

Yamanaka Ino is a lively and active person, and she also likes to take the initiative to make friends, and she first accosted Sakura Haruno, and then became friends.

"Yes."

Yamanaka Ino didn't think about it that much, and agreed with a smile.

……

The next afternoon.

After school, the two little girls came to the coffee shop again.

First of all, I found Qingming, who was reading there, to explain the attitude of my parents, and also to show their own choice, and then even if it was officially a part-time job here.

Of course, there is another thing.

"That...... Brother Qingming, my dad said that the money was too much......"

Sakura Haruno explained.

She doesn't need to say it very clearly, Qingming can understand why.

"I know, because you may only do it for one day, so I will pay you according to the approximate remuneration for Ninja to do D-class tasks, and now that I am officially working here, I will naturally pay you monthly wages in the future, and there will not be so much."

Of course.

After all, they only come over in the afternoon, which is considered a work-study class, so Qingming will not give them too much, although overall it is not less.

It doesn't matter.

Qingming is entangled in other things, they will only come over after school, at most plus rest days, so what do they usually do? He, the shopkeeper, went on his own?

Impossible.

So I still have to find a maid, and I have to do it as soon as possible, because starting tomorrow, Hinata Natsu won't come to work again, and today is the last day.

"Alas......"

Shaking his head helplessly.

Sure enough, it's better to find an ordinary girl to be a maid.,Ninjas are really a bit unreliable.,Unless it's a ninja who has retired and doesn't need to do things for the family.。

Is there such a young and beautiful female ninja?

God knows.

"Anyway, let's post the job announcement first and see if anyone comes to apply, and then we just have to find another way."

Too lazy to think.

directly wrote a job announcement and posted it, and then continued to read the book, indulging in the Taoist scriptures and unable to extricate himself.

……

Coffee shop.

Qingming's place of "settling down".

He also often said, "I'm just a coffee shop owner, so don't expect too much from me," even though it's hardly ever said in this world.

In general, coffee shops are not very important.

Hinata Natsu left.

For the time being, no one else has applied to apply for a maid, so during the morning and noon, Qingming needs to personally entertain guests, which affects his "cultivation".

In the afternoon, Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura would come over to help, although it was child labor, but it was quite easy to use, and no one came to check the water meter to deliver the courier, so they kept doing it.

Although occasionally I don't come.

After all, he is still a student of the ninja school, and he will be a ninja in the future, and he still has to train hard, although he is not as diligent as Tian Tian and Hinata Hinata.

But this cannot be compared.

Tian Tian is because he has a strong interest in forbearance, so he is willing to spend time to study and practice; Hinata Hinata had to work hard because she was under pressure.

In fact, there are very few children like them who train almost every day, and children at this age are basically playful, and in peacetime, children are not playful at all.

Occasionally, Tian Tian and Hinata Hinata would come to the coffee shop to find Qingqing, and get some pills and the like from Qingming, even if they didn't come to get Qingming, they would send them over.

Qingming's plan is to train them, and at the same time, he is also trying some new drugs on them, some new drugs researched for ninjas, and the effects are basically good.

Poisons and the like, of course, can't be tried on them.

Sometimes they come alone, sometimes they come together, and before Qingming asked Hinata Hinata to help deliver snacks to Tiantian, they can be considered acquaintances.

Now, Hinata Hinata and Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura are classmates, so when they meet in a coffee shop, they inevitably communicate more, and the relationship gradually becomes better.

Every day is because of Qingming and Hinata Hinata, and he is also familiar with the two of them.

A bit of a surprise.

The four female ninjas in the future "Twelve Little Strong" were brought together at this time and became friends, which made Qingming once again sigh that the little (beep~) son of the goddess of fate really loves to joke.

But it doesn't matter.

……

Time passed slowly.

Winter is really coming, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and many people are wearing thick clothes, only Qingming still looks thinly dressed, as if he is not afraid of the cold.

But this is nothing, there are people who are as thinly dressed as him, such as the little boy who peeked through the window outside, and the clothes on his body looked quite small.

A little boy with six distinctive whiskers, like a cat? Or like a fox? Or something else?

Qingming spotted him.

In fact, the little boy had occasionally appeared outside before, as if he had discovered something, and looked outside for a long time, and then occasionally came over to take a look.

"You know how to fall in love at a young age!"

Qingming looked at him.

Think about it, when he was only seven or eight years old, did he simply like any girl? It seems that there is none, or maybe there is one but forgets?

After all, it was many years ago.

"Don't look at me like this, I think I used to be an innocent teenager!"

sighed.

Stand up, leave the counter and walk to the front of the store, push open the door and walk out.

The little boy saw it.

Subconsciously took a few steps back, and then wanted to turn around and leave, anyway, every time, some shops don't say let him in, even if he gets close.

At first, he was a little resentful and would argue with the shopkeeper, but later he realized that such an argument was useless, even if he had done nothing wrong.

The truth is not something that can be explained to anyone.

"Come here."

Qingming beckoned to him.

The little boy who originally wanted to turn around and leave hesitated, and finally walked towards Qingming, but he didn't get too close to Qingming, but stopped at a little distance.

"What?"

Although many people will quarrel with him, it is even more uncomfortable for him to quarrel rather than be looked at with indifferent eyes or even ignored by others.

"What are you doing standing here on such a cold day? Don't you come in? ”

“？！”

The little boy seemed a little surprised.

"Can I get in?"

"The store is for business, come in."

Qingming smiled.

He pushed the door open and walked in, and the little boy in the back hesitated, but still raised his heel and went in.

It's warmer in the shop.

Moreover, it has a sweet smell and feels like something delicious.

But it doesn't matter.

"Doing business? Explain in advance, I don't have any money, so I won't buy your stuff. ”

"I know."

"You know?"

The little boy was a little confused.

But before he could say anything, a voice suddenly came.

"The shopkeeper."

A little girl in a well-fitting maid's outfit walked over.

She looked like a weak little girl, but when she found the little boy behind her, she seemed to release her true nature immediately.

"Vortex Singing...... Uh, that'......"

I just wanted to roar.

Fortunately, he reacted in time, and immediately swallowed his words back, just looking at the little boy, who seemed to be a little unsure of what to say, but the little boy was full of smiles.
