Afternoon.

After school.

Qingming followed Naoko Takeju to her home.

Unfortunately, Naoko Takei's father is not at home, and he may still be busy with work, which is a very ambitious man.

It's also strong.

To be honest, Naoko Takei thinks it's very difficult to make her father change his mind.

But she still came back with Qingming.

Maybe you just want to stay with Qingming for a while, or maybe you have confidence in Qingming.

Sitting in the living room with Qingming.

She didn't speak, just lowered her head, as if a little uneasy, playing with her fingers.

Ben is a taciturn person.

Hardly takes the initiative to talk to others, and if no one talks to her, maybe she can be silent for the rest of her life.

Because Qingming helped her, she has a good impression of Qingming.

Hazy.

Maybe this is the first love of a young girl.

But she didn't know how to confess her heart, so she could only go to Qingming's store every day to sit down, maybe she wanted to attract Qingming's attention.

Later, her father refused to let her go.

Fortunately, I can still see it occasionally in school, and that is when I am happiest in school.

But there was still silence.

Maybe she doesn't understand that if she doesn't take the initiative to take the first step, she will never be able to continue.

It's just that she's still the same.

Maybe it's because it's too easy to be satisfied, so I don't want to ask for too much.

Girlish feelings, always.

But I don't know that if it goes on like this, I will only miss it in vain.

Qingming is not her, so naturally she will not understand her thoughts.

I guess he didn't want to understand either.

Naoko Takei didn't speak, and he didn't speak either, just silent and thoughtful.

Whether it's going to school or coming here, it's actually just a little escape, because I'm too lazy to take care of the little girl in the coffee shop at this time.

Yes, it was just a drop by to come here.

He doesn't have any extra thoughts about Naoko Takei.,Although he plays with the girl's hair every time he goes to class.。

Just looking at Naoko Takei, he couldn't help but smile again.

"Naoko, you're such a good girl."

He said.

Of course, referring to Naoko Takei's character, silence also has the benefit of silence, at least it won't be so noisy.

Qingming doesn't like to be too noisy.

Naoko Takei didn't quite understand, thinking that she was just saying that she was good, and lowered her head with a little shy blushing, just glanced at Qingming secretly, and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Still silent.

Either way, however, time does not stop passing.

Just after five o'clock, Naoko Takei's father returned.

When he saw Qingming, his face turned black all of a sudden, obviously very unhappy.

Naoko Takei stood up a little nervously.

When he opened his mouth, he seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't make a sound, and he could only look at Qingming with worried eyes.

Qingming was just smiling.

He wasn't worried at all, if he couldn't even handle it as an ordinary person, he wouldn't have to be a Taoist priest.

Of course, he didn't plan to talk about anything.

is not a person who is very good at words, and it is estimated that he will not take advantage of such a shopping mall veteran to negotiate, although he will not suffer a loss.

In any case, if you can solve it with Dao techniques, you don't need to move your mouth.

……

At night.

As night fell, it was already past eight o'clock.

Qingming left after dinner at Takei's house, and Naoko Takei felt a little incredible from beginning to end.

Just when she went to the study with her father and didn't know what to say, her father's attitude completely changed.

Such a reversal is outrageous.

In fact, Qingming only used spiritual Taoism to make certain psychological hints to her father.

It's not hypnosis.

Hypnosis is a kind of mind control, and mental suggestion is just to direct the other person's mind in a certain direction, and this technique can even be done by ordinary people.

Dao is just an enhanced version.

But none of this matters, the important thing is that the problem has been solved and Naoko Takei can do what she wants to do.

Qingming left, and she sent Qingming to the gate.

"That'...... That ......"

Rarely, she seemed to want to say something.

Qingming, who was standing next to her, turned his head to look at her.

As soon as he made eye contact with Qingming, he immediately lowered his head with a red face, and seemed to become a little nervous and uneasy.

It's completely girlish shyness.

"Thank you...... Thank you, you helped me again. ”

"You're welcome."

Qingming smiled.

He just didn't have much to do, so he just meddled in it.

Otherwise, if you want him to help, go and drink three cups of Meng Po soup coffee first.

Of course, now Qingming wants to change this rule.

Changing to drink three cups of Meng Po soup coffee is a premise, and if you really want him to help, you have to pay a certain price.

Otherwise, it's a loss.

And like Akane and Gray Plains, it's even more troublesome.

"The ......"

Naoko Takei didn't know what Kiyoshi was thinking, and it seemed that there was something else she wanted to say.

But it wasn't said.

Qingming looked at her, smiled and shook his head.

Raise your feet and leave, waving your hand without looking back.

"Goodbye."

“……”

Looking at Qingming's back gradually moving away, Naoko Takei was silent for a long time.

It wasn't until his back disappeared that he sighed alone.

Anyway, something has finally changed, and next, even if Qingming doesn't go to school, she can go to the coffee shop to see Qingming.

Congratulations, congratulations.

……

Coffee shop.

Qingming returned here, and it was already an hour later.

But the girls are still there.

Glancing at it, he didn't bother, but walked back to the counter and looked through the old books that the new name Kahori had lent him.

Although none of them were the kind of ancient books he wanted.

"The shopkeeper."

Azusa Enomoto ran to the counter.

She must have something to do again, and in order to avoid trouble, Qingming did not respond to her.

But Enomoto didn't care, and opened her mouth to herself.

"Shopkeeper, shouldn't I let Akane and Wai go to school? They're just kids. ”

It stands to reason that thirteen or fourteen years old should be the age of going to middle school, and seven or eight years old is the age of elementary school, so the two sisters should indeed be studying.

And yet two people who don't have the identity go to school?

Although it is not impossible, it can be easily solved by using Dao techniques.

But what is the reason to do so?

"Whether or not I go to school has nothing to do with me."

Qingming looked at the two sisters standing on the side.

They probably don't want to go to school either, it's just wishful thinking on the part of Enomoto Azusa, but Enomoto Azusa is also a good intention.

It wouldn't hurt to learn a little more anyway.

But Qingming just snorted.

"I will do things according to the rules and let you stay, but you can't eat and drink for nothing and wait for death, and from tomorrow onwards, you will change into a maid costume to work."

This is mainly said to the gray plain mourning.

Akane was already working, and she was doing a good job, if it weren't for Ash Yuan Ai being picked up by Enomoto Zi, Qingming wouldn't have the idea of driving her away.

Therefore, those who are not treated by Qingming are actually just gray plain mourning.

Azusa Enomoto was the first to object.

The expression on his face seemed to be a little incredible.

"Forget it, you still want to let Mourning work? What can a seven-year-old girl do? ”

"Serve tea and pour water, why can't you do it?"

“……”

Azusa Enomoto looked at Qingming.

Speaking of which, she suddenly found out.

"Shopkeeper, do you have a problem with me?"

"I don't have a problem with you, other than not performing your duties as a maid and RBQ well."

“……”

Roll your eyes.

If you are too lazy to dwell on Qingming, ask directly.

"That's to have an opinion on the mourning I rescued, and it always feels like you're targeting her everywhere, why?"

"How can I say it......"

Qingming picks his ears.

"Whether it's you or Akane, you can use it as RBQ, what can the little girl do? Can't do anything, I don't have an opinion about her, who do I have an opinion about? ”

“…… Die! ”
