After the matter was settled, the soup house returned to normal, as for where the masked man came from, no one could say, the world itself was not as calm as it appeared, and it would not be strange for any kind of creature to appear.

At dawn, Granny Tang finally returned.

Of course, as soon as Granny Tang came back, she found out that something was wrong with the soup house, and after finding the head of the youkai and asking her, she finally understood what had happened.

"You mean, Xia Ruo disposed of the intrusion monster alone? And he's the only one," Granny Tang confirmed to the head youkai again.

"Yes, Mr. Xia took out the intruder by just one person, and it looked easy," the director Yokai said honestly.

"Isn't it easy?"

Granny Tang's eyes narrowed slightly, she had long known that Xia Ruo had some ability, and this incident confirmed this, but the stronger Xia Ruo was, the more uneasy Granny Tang became.

Too strong subordinates are not very easy to control.

But now the two are still in a cooperative relationship, there will be no conflict for the time being, and Xia Ruo is also very honest, and it doesn't seem that there are any crooked thoughts, Granny Tang plans to continue to observe for a while, and now Xia Ruo is friendly with many gods, and Granny Tang doesn't dare to do too much to him.

"I see, you go down."

"Yes."

……

A hot spring house when it is open.

"Smack-"

An employee knocked over the plate in front of Xia Ruo, breaking the glowing dish that Xia Ruo had just fried, and after the glowing dish spilled on the ground, it became dull.

The monster employee looked at this scene and his body trembled, even if that dish was sold, he couldn't afford to pay for it, if this happened, Granny Tang would turn it into charcoal essence.

"Shh

The imaginary rebuke did not appear, and Mr. Xia just made a shushing gesture.

"It's okay, it's just that the dish is spilled, I'll make another plate," Xia Ruo comforted the employee with a gentle smile on his face, he was already ready to leave, and then went back to let Tom fry a plate of vegetables again and serve it out.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia."

That monster employee went through a big ups and downs and almost cried.

"It's okay, just pay attention next time."

"Yes."

At this time, the employee felt that Mr. Xia was probably the best person in the world.

After the incident of the masked man passed, Xia Ruo's prestige rose a lot, and Xia Ruo usually did not have a high-minded attitude towards ordinary employees, so Xia Ruo's popularity in the soup house was very high.

Xiao Ling also thanked Xia Ruo afterwards, and Xia Ruo and Xiao Ling talked a little, and finally had some friendship.

The soup house returned to its daily routine, and nothing more troublesome happened after that.

It's still the same as before, Xia Ruo cooks some glowing dishes every day, practices cooking, and then soaks in the hot springs in the soup house in his spare time and enjoys a massage service.

This kind of life is comfortable and leisurely, that is, in addition to cooking, you have to occasionally accompany guests or something, which Xia Ruo can also accept.

It's just that sometimes, some female gods always like to order Xia Ruo's dishes, and then let Xia Ruo accompany them to drink or something, feeling that those female gods are quite lonely, Xia Ruo also listened to their complaints, and then comforted them when they accompanied the wine, but the result was that those female gods often came to eat, and Xia Ruo began to wonder if their money was enough.

Granny Tang seemed very happy when she saw this situation, and hinted that she would let Xia Ruo promote the wine when she accompanied the guests to drink, and even wanted to give Xia Ruo a commission, but Xia Ruo refused.

Xia Ruo is not short of money, and he always feels as if something is wrong with his work.

Keep your own chef's heart.

And so the days went by.

During this period, Xia Ruo never stopped learning magic with Granny Tang, but Granny Tang seemed to be jealous of Xia Ruo, and the magic taught Xia Ruo was some very basic simple magic, such as dust removal, item restoration and other life magic, and the offensive magic has been guarded very dead.

One day, everyday life finally became a little different.

"Mr. Xia, Granny Tang is looking for you, please go to the top floor."

"Huh?"

Xia Ruo glanced at the frog monster who informed him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, you know, Granny Tang doesn't necessarily take the initiative to look for him once a month, how could she think of coming to him today.

"Okay."

Xia Ruo nodded, and when he took the elevator to the top floor, he saw an acquaintance, a young man dressed in white, in Granny Tang's office.

White Dragon, the male protagonist in Spirited Away.

Xia Ruo thought that the white dragon had disappeared because of his appearance, but why did he suddenly appear again.

"Xia Ruo, you're here," Granny Tang glanced at Xia Ruo who had just come up, and beckoned to Xia Ruo, with a kind smile on her face, "Let me introduce you, this is my newly accepted disciple, called White Dragon, from today onwards, he and I will start learning magic." ”

"Hello Mr. Xia, Granny Tang has been mentioning you to me," Bai Long said after bowing to Xia Ruo, although he looked polite, there was not the slightest expression on Bai Long's face.

"Hello," Xia Ruo nodded in response.

"Since the two of you also know each other, then Xia Ruo, you can take Bai Long to familiarize yourself with the soup house, and by the way, introduce Bai Long to the people in the soup house, by the way, Bai Long's main job is not in the soup house, but to help me deal with some things," Granny Tang said to Xia Ruo.

"Okay," Xia Ruo nodded and looked at the white dragon on the side, "You come with me." ”

"Yes, Mr. Xia."

Bai Long followed Xia Ruo out of Granny Tang's room, but when he got off the elevator, Xia Ruo couldn't help but glance at Bai Long.

"Bailong, I am also your senior, so I will call you Xiaobai in the future."

"Xiaobai?"

Bai Long's indifferent face twitched, he had known before, this Mr. Xia is a human being, and he is not very old, he is a god, I don't know how old he is, is it really good to call himself Xiaobai like this.

"Xiaobai, by the way, what is your name, was it taken away by Granny Tang?" Xia Ruo asked seemingly casually in the elevator.

"My name is White Dragon," White Dragon's tone was still cold.

"It looks like your name has been taken away, that old woman likes to take other people's names like this, but it's okay, you can find your name one day," Xia Ruo said to herself.

Bai Long raised his eyebrows, he always felt that this Mr. Xia was very strange, and he was also very bold, he dared to call Granny Tang an old woman, he had never seen this kind of human being.

As for the name, he didn't expect to get it back.

When he got downstairs, Xia Ruo summoned the staff of the soup house, just like Granny Tang introduced him at that time, he introduced the white dragon in front of everyone.

"This is Bai Long, Granny Tang's newest disciple, you can call him Mr. Bai in the future."

"Yes."

The people in the soup house answered.

At this point, the white dragon officially joined the soup house.

However, Xia Ruo looked at the white dragon on the side, with a puzzled look on his face, since the white dragon appeared, it proves that the plot is still going in a normal direction, but the white dragon appeared too late.

Even if he didn't know the specific timeline, Xia Ruo still guessed that when Chihiro came to the soup house, Bai Long had been in the soup house for at least a year or two.

Do you have to wait for Chihiro for a year or two?

……

After Bai Long joined the soup house, it was almost a month or so.

During this period, Hakulong has always had a straight face, and he has always been expressionless, so although the employees of the soup house call him 'Mr. Bai', they secretly don't like Hakulong very much.

Fortunately, Xia Ruo has always taken care of him, and Bailong's strength is also very strong, and his life in the soup house is not bad, but he often goes out to help Granny Tang do things, and every time he comes back with an injury.

January has passed, Xia Ruo still didn't wait for Chihiro, although he knew that this mission was set by the system, and it would definitely not be smooth sailing, but he couldn't even see the heroine.

If you can't come, you have to wait like this.

Isn't it, I think it's wrong?

Xia Ruo felt that he might have fallen into some kind of fixed thinking and ignored some details, so he couldn't help but look at the task requirements issued to him by the system.

[Quest requirements: The girl and her parents enter the fantasy world, the lost girl is about to encounter a major crisis, and urgently needs your help, your task is to send her back to the original world. 】

After carefully looking at it a few times, Xia Ruo really found some points that he hadn't noticed before.

The 'girl' mentioned in this system task doesn't say that it must be Chihiro Ogino, but I just watched the animation by myself, and I was too impressed by Chihiro, so I felt that it must be Chihiro who strayed here.

Could it be that someone else strayed into this world?

……

Sakuragaoka Girls' High School in Japan.

In the light voice, a woman's scream suddenly came.

"Ahh!!!hh

A young girl was so frightened that she squatted on the ground with her head in her arms because of a spider, and it seemed that the girl was afraid of such a thing.

"Mio, it's a toy, it's a toy," Ryu Tanai smiled and put the spider toy in his pocket, the spider just now was just a small toy with rough workmanship, not realistic at all, and it was impossible for ordinary people to be scared by this kind of thing.

However, looking at Tanai Nakaritsu's reaction, it seems that he had already guessed that this situation would occur.

"Ritsu-chan, why do you carry such a thing with you?" Yui Hirasawa asked strangely.

"This toy was a gift for my brother's snacks, and I thought Mio would be scared, so I brought it," Tanai explained.

……

This is the light sound department of the light sound girl world.,At this time, the light sound department wall is pasted with the poster gifts they received from Xia Ruo at that time.,The posters are all their two-dimensional images.,It's also a very bright landscape in Sakuragaoka High School.。

It's been a while since they returned to Japan, and of course, the experience of traveling to China at that time will not be forgotten, that is, Mio Akiyama sometimes sends emails to Natsuruo, but there has been no response.

For this, Mio Akiyama is very disappointed.

……

"Why show me this kind of thing when I know I'm scared," Mio Akiyama looked a little better after learning that the spider was a toy, but she was still a little scared and didn't dare to approach.

Although Mio Akiyama looks like a cold girl, she actually has a gentle personality and is very timid, whether it's a ghost story or a bug or something, whether you hear or see it, you'll be scared and tremble.

But Tanai Naka Ritsu likes to tease her very much.

"Because Mio is so timid, I want to exercise your guts," Tanai Nakaritsu tried to demonstrate the fact that she was playing tricks on Mio with something that seemed plausible.

"Think about it, Mio is so timid, what should you do when you go out to work in the future, the last time I worked on the street to hand out tissues, I didn't even send out one in the afternoon, and the last time the maid café was too, I couldn't even say'Welcome', if you don't exercise your guts now, you'll be unemployed in the future, unemployed."

"Yes, we are going to work in the future," Pyeongtaek clapped his hands and suddenly realized, "Unemployment, it's really a heavy topic, it's so troublesome, I still have to work in the future, if only I could drink tea and fish every day like now." ”

"Only seniors, if you don't work, you're going to gnaw at home," Nakano Azusa couldn't help but say as he looked at such a motivated senior.

"Well, unemployment is a very serious problem, Mio's guts are too small, and there will definitely be accidents in society in the future, so I decided to make a plan to develop courage," Tai Naka Ritsu suddenly said to herself.

"Mio, I heard that there is a monster-themed haunted house nearby, let's go to the haunted house together on the weekend to exercise our courage."

Syllable!

Mio Akiyama slashed a knife on the head of Nakari Takai, and her tone was very resolute, "I won't go, you give up." ”

A haunted house with a monster theme, Mio Akiyama just thought about it, and her body began to tremble, how could she go to that kind of place.

"The haunted house with a yokai theme sounds interesting, and I really want to go there," Kotofuki was quite interested, "but if Mio doesn't want to go, forget it, and I don't think it's very useful to use the haunted house to exercise your guts, because ghosts, youkai or something, this kind of thing doesn't exist in the world." ”

"Eh, Yui, what do you think of the haunted house?" Tanai Nakaritsu looked at Yui Hirasawa on the side.

"Haunted house? It doesn't feel interesting, and it's ...... Recently, I don't have enough pocket money, and I guess I can't even afford a ticket......," Yui Hirasawa said embarrassedly.

"Well, it looks like no one is going," Tanai Nakaritsu looked a little lost, "So what are we going to do this weekend, are you going to come to my house to play?" My brother isn't home this week. ”

"Okay, okay," Yui Hirasawa was the first to agree, so that it would not cost money.

"Agreed," Kotofuki agreed.

"Okay, I don't have anything to do this weekend," Mio Akiyama said this, when her phone suddenly rang, and she picked it up and looked at it, it was a text message from her family.

After a few glances, Mio Akiyama put down her phone.

"I'm sorry, I probably don't have time to go this weekend, my dad said he was going to take me and my mom to see my grandmother, who seems to live a bit far away, and it will take a few days." 166 Reading Network
