Chapter 22 A small shop called "Sa&E's Lair".

Ulassis College, LZ-3 Street, Department of Idiosyncrasies School District.

The so-called storefront is actually a small three-story building slightly larger than Antoneva's house, and the first floor has been slightly renovated.

The name of the store is not a custom-made shop style, and it is hung on the spot with a few strokes written on the wooden board in a cute round font.

The girl looked left and right, and it was impossible to describe the street as deserted.

"SA&Painted Lair...... What a strange name. ”

Is it really necessary for such a small shop to recruit clerks?

"But that's it, right? What Mr. Sicaro said, the small shop opened by his old friend. It's really remote. ”

Youmeng lowered her head and reconfirmed the navigation information, and the overlapping red dots clearly indicated that this was the destination.

"All in all, it's good that I met Teacher Sicaro, otherwise I would really have to get to know the academy as Lan Xian said today."

Because he was guided by Antonieva all the way when he entered the school before, Yumeng hadn't noticed anything different about the Yulasis Academy. At best, the architectural style is the same, resulting in similar references, but after all, you won't get lost if you are more familiar with it.

However, this time, according to the path guidance shared by Sicaro into Youmeng's personal terminal, Youmeng finally saw how difficult it was to know the way in such an abnormal school that taught spiritual energy cultivation.

Because, this academy, it is actually "alive"!

Except for a few fixed nodes, all road passages will change willfully from time to time with a pattern that is incomprehensible to the cuteness.

Youmeng saw with her own eyes that several senior seniors were standing at the end of a street in a daze like waiting for a bus, and it wasn't until a certain moment that the world on the other side of the street suddenly changed into another world, and they stepped forward.

It's as if the entire Urazis Academy is actually made up of countless fragments of space that are constantly touching and separating. The same is true of the map that was previously displayed on Yumo's personal terminal, like a complex train timetable, and one block after another that beats the time of the block changes its location from time to time.

However, on the map of the personal terminal, after loading a small section of the map navigation program given by Sicaro, there was suddenly a red line that seemed to have life, and it automatically changed direction as Youmeng continued to move forward, making the original legendary freshman's nightmare-level first-day campus tour become a simple wayfinding game here in Youmeng.

"Is it worthy of being able to become a daily mission, at least an elite-level 'mysterious' merchant Sicaro sensei? I roughly understand why I was able to dominate the academy and never missed. ”

Come to think of it, the uncut version of the navigation system in Sicaro's hands is probably like a small artifact like the living map in "Harry Potter" from the Eulassis Academy.

Well, I'm just polite, a little envious, and I don't think about it at all.

"But it's strange, why didn't any changes happen, whether it was yesterday's report that Antoneva guided me in the academy, or when I followed the autonomic machine to the test hall today? In this way, there should be a pattern to follow. ”

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Yumeng ended the path navigation on her wrist.

These troubles were obviously far beyond comprehension with the little information she had in her possession. In that case, it's better to put it aside and find a job that can take care of food and earn points as planned.

And...... Youmeng flipped her hand and looked at the automatically blocked call record on her personal terminal.

[Missed call: Otilia X22]

[Missed calls; Antoneva X33】

She had clearly seen Otilia hanging in the air to worship the sky before, and it was obvious that there must be something strange in this missed call.

It's a pity that Yumeng, whose wisdom is beyond ordinary people, has already seen through the truth of the incident - that is, Otilia's personal terminal has been used as a trophy by Antoneva Senpai, and used to lure her into the net. She said she wouldn't get through.

What the? What if it's not?

Youmeng trembled unconsciously, and clicked to empty the call record with an expressionless face.

"Anyway, I've been dying since morning. There is no difference between dying once and dying a hundred times. ”

is still the same sentence, it is impossible to take the initiative to admit cowardice, and she doesn't know how to write cowardice in her life.

Her cute road to self-improvement started with this small shop called "SA&Paint's Lair".

- Well, even if you can't turn yourself over, then at least it's hidden enough not to be detected.

"Now, I can only hope that Mr. Sicaro's recommendation is really reliable, and some choices are better than no choices."

Patting her cheek, Youmeng cleaned up her mood, pushed open the door of the small shop and walked in.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

While asking, Youmeng quickly looked left and right at the interior of the shop.

No surprise, sure enough, there is not a single customer in the deserted storefront.

However, to her surprise, the style is very delicate and warm, or rather, it may have been simply converted from a house to a private family restaurant.

On the right hand side of the entrance is a wooden counter, which looks like it should be used for cashiers, but there is no one at this time.

Warm light orange wallpaper covers all four walls, and the table is served as a tatami mat mat made of dark mahogany, probably because of the space it occupies. On each seat, two small monster-like cartoon standing cards are drawn, and the table number is marked with numbers on the back.

The surrounding walls are inlaid with several small wooden frames that are not sealed, and cloth dolls or small toys are placed inside. It can be seen that the owner should be very cherished, although the style has been some years, but it is so quietly maintained that there are almost no stains and dust.

Looking down the hall, in front of the stairs leading to the second floor and the kitchen, there is a small blackboard with the words "Diners stop" written on it with a water-based pen.

"Isn't the store there?"

Youmeng stood in front of the small blackboard with "Diners stopped", and was a little hesitant to go upstairs to have a look.

After all, strictly speaking, she is not a guest by definition.

"It's coming, it's coming~ Ah, rent, oh no, guest, welcome, what do you want!"

Just as he was thinking, there was a ping-pong sound from the top of the stairs, and then, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man stepped on his slippers and ran down quickly.

"The ......"

Youmeng thought back to the plan prepared in her mind, smiled politely and was about to speak.

"Sit down, drink some hot water, and I'll get you the menu." Menu...... Where do I put the menu? ”

Without saying a word, the man pressed Youmeng to the nearest seat and poured a cup of hot water.

Then in a panic, he ran to the front desk at the door, opened the drawers, and rummaged through.

"That...... Actually, I'm not here to eat. Actually, someone introduced me to me and said that you were looking for a clerk here. ”

Youmeng hesitated, gritted her teeth and said.

Now it seems that the store manager's situation is not much better than hers.

Sure enough, she was still cheated by Sicaro's teacher who didn't look serious at first glance, that guy deliberately sent her away casually in order to prevent her from joining the sequence of "mysterious" merchants!

"Sorry to interrupt."

got up and apologized softly with some embarrassment, and Youmeng sighed in her heart, so she shouldn't have any beautiful illusions about this world.

"Wait, recruitment...... Shop assistant? Who introduced you here? ”

The middle-aged man, who looked a little decrepit, stopped his search, stood up and looked at the girl, and looked at Youmeng suspiciously.

"Teacher Sicaro of the Academy's Reinforcement Department, well, it should be the Reinforcement Department, in short, a very burly and muscular uncle."

"That's right...... You wait......"

The middle-aged man thoughtfully touched the stubble on his chin, opened his personal terminal, and checked it. In the angle that Yu Meng couldn't see, the man's eyes instantly became as sharp and dignified as a blade.

However, when he raised his head to look at Youmeng, his expression returned to the decadence of his previous decay.

With a hammer of his palm, the man's acting skills nodded exaggeratedly and said.

"I almost forgot when you said that. That's right, our store is indeed recruiting clerks! By the way, we also have staff meals here! Why don't you try it first? ”

It's just, too deliberate, too suspicious, okay!

The corners of Youmeng's mouth twitched, this boss, do you really think she is a three-year-old child?

"Sorry, I've eaten, I'm not hungry. Leave. ”

The girl looked at the middle-aged man, shook her head calmly, got up, and pushed the door.

This kind of place where there is a pit is obvious, she is a ghost, a detective, and a cute, how can she jump into it.

Mutter~~

A series of belly rumblings rang out in the small hall.

The cute figure was stunned, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Turning his head, Youmeng groaned for a moment, and then said shyly: "Actually, I haven't eaten too much, so it doesn't matter if I try it a little more." ”
