Gray Plains and Conan confessed.

But he just confessed his identity and concealed a lot of things, including Qingming's affairs.

She didn't dare to tell Conan about Qingming casually.

It's just that when she fainted outside, she was rescued by Enomoto Azusa and brought back to the coffee shop, and then Qingming saw that she was pitiful, so she let her live and be with Akane.

She didn't plan to tell Conan who Akane was.

Although this is a lie, it is better than annoying Qingming, and the consequences of annoying Qingqing are not good, although she doesn't know what the consequences will be.

It doesn't matter.

All in all, the two people have successfully formed an alliance and helped each other, which is gratifying.

Then it came to a new day.

Afternoon.

Since there is one more Akane, there are more customers in the store again, after all, this is an era of Lolicon everywhere.

Anyway, Akane, who is short, looks like Lori.

And it's Lori in a maid's outfit.

Of course, it may also be a legitimate Lori, after all, her appearance looks relatively old, not like she is thirteen or fourteen years old.

They guessed right.

Akane is just getting smaller, shrinking to be precise, not getting younger, so those indescribable things can actually be done.

That's why Qingming said that she can also be used as RBQ.

And the gray plain mourns not good.

What can you do to a seven-year-old girl?

If you really want to do it, then it's not a matter of beasts or beasts that can't be explained, it is said that it starts in three years and the maximum death penalty?

No, that doesn't seem to be neon law.

All in all, unless Qingming uses Taoism to make Ash Yuan mourn......

Well, it doesn't matter.

The door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and a "ding" sound alerted the arrival of a customer.

"Ernie sauce, Ernie sauce."

It's a little girl's voice, and it sounds cute.

Turning her head to look, it was Ayumi as expected, and only she would call Qingming like that.

I'm still carrying a school bag, and it looks like I've just come over from school.

Behind, followed by Gray Plains, and a few other little kids.

The little girl has a good relationship with Qingming, so she can go around the counter without any worries, climb into Qingming's arms, and put her schoolbag on the counter.

Then with a smile on his face, he looked at Qingming.

"Ernie sauce Ernie sauce, it turns out that Gray Yuan-san lives with you."

Facing Qingming's lap, wearing a short skirt, and dangling his legs, he didn't realize that he would be troubled by this.

Even through a layer of fabric, Qingming can feel the softness unique to the little girl.

Yes.

A little girl is going to turn up a certain type of person.

The kind of person who pulls it out and shoots it for three years is too little.

Like what......

Clear and bright?

Anyway, Enomoto Azusa always thought he was a Lolita.

However, Qingming didn't seem to have any special feelings, just a smile on his face and touched the little girl's head.

"Do you want cake?"

didn't say anything about Gray Yuan's mourning at all, just asked.

Gray Plains, who walked in after him, glanced at him.

Originally, she thought that Qingming didn't like children, so she wouldn't treat her, but now it seems that this is not the case.

After all, Kiyoshi seems to like Ayumi's appearance very much.

"Uh-huh."

Hearing the cake, Ayumi nodded happily.

So Qingming shouted to the back kitchen.

"Azusa, prepare a cake for Ayumi."

"Can we eat it too?"

The children who came with him, namely Motota and Mitsuhiko, opened their mouths to ask.

In this regard, Qingming just glanced at them without emotion.

"Of course, just give money."

“……”

Sure enough, the world is unfair.

However, a few children didn't say much, their pocket money was still considerable, and the Didan School was considered an aristocratic school, and those who could get in were generally not ordinary people.

At least it's the middle class, and there is even the eldest lady of a top consortium like Sonoko Suzuki.

So the money for eating cake is nothing for a few children.

It's just that Ayumi can eat for free, they can't, so make them feel like they're being treated unequally.

Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness.

Although the children didn't know such words, they still felt a little unhappy, and they were naturally not close to Qingming.

However, Qingming does not need their closeness.

Needless to say, this is not to be said.

A few children sat in their seats over there, and so did Gray Plains.

Here in Qingming, there is only Ayumi.

Sitting in Qingming's arms with his back to Qingming, eating the cake on the table.

"Ernie sauce, Ernie sauce."

While eating, he asked.

"Huh?"

"Do you and Ashbara-san really live here? There are no rooms or beds here. ”

"No, it's just me living here, they're renting a house outside."

"Huh? Does Ernie Sauce live here by herself? Don't you feel lonely? ”

"Lonely?"

Qingqing, who was looking at the book, put down the book and tilted his head to look at Ayumi.

Only the side face of the little girl can be seen.

"Do you know what loneliness is?"

"When you're alone, you feel lonely."

The little girl replied.

As he spoke, he seemed a little unconfident, and turned his head to look at Qingming.

"Is that so?"

"Pretty much."

Qingming smiled.

Touching the little girl's head, he continued.

"But some people like to be alone, so they don't feel lonely."

"Ernie Sauce, does Oni-chan like to be alone?"

"Sort of, I like to be quiet."

Qingming nodded.

Anyway, he doesn't like to be too noisy, he will feel annoyed, and he will want to curse those people who will never be able to speak or something.

"But it's not good to live here alone."

Ayumi continues to eat cake and also continues to express her own opinion.

"There are no beds here, so it's more comfortable to lie in bed when you sleep."

"Really?"

"Well, Ayumi's bed is very comfortable, Ernie Sauce, do you want to try it? You can go to my house and try it. ”

Ayumi turned her head back and smiled cutely.

Merely......

Is this some kind of implication?

Qingming looked at her with a wink.

Then he laughed self-deprecatingly.

A little girl who doesn't understand anything, what does it imply?

It seems that his mind has become polluted.

But the little girl is nice, little girl.

"Hmmm......"

Think about it for a moment.

"Looks like I'm going to have to buy a house, and it's going to be bigger."

"Bigger?"

"Well, the bigger one, how about leaving you a room then? You can decorate your room however you like. ”

"Really?"

"Really."

"That's great."

The little girl seemed to be delighted.

But from this point of view, she may not just be close to Qingming, she does not refuse to be more intimate with Qingming, after all, she is willing to ask for a room in Qingming's house, which may be like treating Qingming as a family.

That's why the little girl is very good.

"Then without further ado, hurry up and finish the cake, and then come with me to see the place."

"Hey!"

……

Buy a house.

For many people, it is a difficult thing, but for others, it is a simple thing.

Qingming didn't think it was much trouble.

Anyway, it doesn't matter what the house is, he just needs a piece of land, it's best if there is no house on the land, if there is a house, he will directly tear it down and rebuild it.

As a Taoist priest, of course, the place where you live cannot be an ordinary place.

However, the bridge coffee shop is not ordinary, although there are not many special places, but that is only on the surface.

But it goes without saying.

As long as there is money, land is a very simple matter; If you have the ability, that's a much simpler thing.

Led by an intermediary, I quickly went to see the place.

It's a little far away, it's a bit inaccurate to say it's a house, it should be said to be a manor.

But in comparison, it's not much, after all, there are many neon people.

But you can build a villa, a garden, even a swimming pool and so on.

Far from it, Qingming didn't care, so he nodded.

"Well, that's it."
