Chapter 7: I'm Dark, How Can I Work?

"That's it for now."

Return to Ihara at the base and report to Kojima.

The commander of the island nodded dullly, then sat down on the chair, and kneaded his forehead vigorously with both hands: "Follow-up treatment of the wounded, search and rescue survivors..."

"The commander has already arranged it."

Ihara looked solemn and said calmly.

"Well, that's good."

"A press conference is needed this afternoon."

Commander Kojima lowered his hand rubbing his forehead.

There was a red mark on his forehead.

There was also some blood in his eyes, revealing a sense of exhaustion.

"Ihara don't go, you're in charge of urgently selecting new UPIC members from the reserves."

He paused for a moment before he added: "Everything is voluntary, but the requirements cannot be lowered. ”

"Yes, there's a big shortage right now."

Ihara silently responded, and at the same time a little worried.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

All that was left in the command was the sound of liaison Shun Ling tapping on the keyboard.

Bolden has gone to the maintenance department to guide the repair of the damaged Condor fighter, and the mysterious book is responsible for contacting and mobilizing the new fighter to replenish the branch, and at the same time, Lihara Nai is also recuperating in the hospital due to trauma.

"Well, please."

The island commander stood up, turned around and picked up a small booklet of papers, and walked out.

Ihara watched him leave, and there was a warm current in his heart.

As the captain of the UPIC team, he nominally has a lot to bear for the failure of the UPIC operation.

Even if it's because the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great.

Even if you are on the front line.

But it's not a reason either.

At the press conference, those reporters will definitely hold on to this.

After all, for them, only hot news is the most important.

Therefore, it does not matter to them what social stability or what the overall situation is.

And Captain Ihara's best ending is also a suspension investigation.

However, this usually heartless commander is obviously a little short-sighted.

"Ahh

"It's annoying..."

Walking on the busy street, Yuan Huixia looked dull.

There were many rescuers in the vicinity to clean up the broken debris, and many wounded people were carried into ambulances.

Of course, there are also some minor injuries who have been treated by medical staff at the scene.

After such a catastrophe, humanity has become more united than ever.

"Ding, ding, ding."

"Who's going to call at this time?"

Yuanhui Xia muttered and took out his phone.

"Ah, Terasha."

A familiar middle-aged male voice came from the opposite side.

Sounds pretty rough.

"Oh, Mr. Dean!"

Yuan Huixia hurriedly said.

Yes, it was the director of the welfare home who corresponded with him at the time, and he usually took good care of these children.

But speaking of which, the girl's face from before seems quite familiar.

Suddenly, strange thoughts.

Yuan Hui Xia shook his head.

"Oh, that's right, you're all right, right? I heard that there is a monster in your place? ”

Uncle Dean's concerned voice was also unusually clear through the speaker.

"Everything is fine, but it's a pity that the cheap house that I finally found was..."

Yuan Huixia was a little helpless.

"Ahh That being the case..."

"I've got you a job, Hui Xia, you can't be too salty!"

Uncle Dean was a little angry and counted him down.

"Ah, what kind of job is it?"

Yuan Hui Xia is very knowledgeable.

I asked what I was going to do, but I wouldn't go.

It seems that Gen Hui Xia's thoughts have long been anticipated.

Uncle Dean spoke again.

"You've probably heard of UPC, their ground staff there are hiring, um... There's no danger, just follow the master to check the plane and do daily maintenance..."

"Huh... Doesn't sound like a good fit for me. ”

"Oh, but it's said that they have food and shelter, and their monthly salary is 300,000 yen..."

Mr. Dean said lightly.

"Nani?"

Then he heard an exclamation from the other side.

Sure enough, this kid...

The uncle sitting in the dean's office twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Then please let me go."

Yuan Hui Xia's firm voice rang from the other end of the phone.

"That's natural, I sent you the address and interview time, but don't forget it, this is a rare opportunity."

The uncle was very uneasy, and finally instructed again.

"Oh, I still have an interview... Don't worry. ”

"Well, it's probably going through the motions, after all, the recruitment scale is quite large..."

Mr. Dean hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Anyway, let's try it first, and if it goes well, at least it will stabilize... I don't have to worry about you coming over to borrow money..."

“…”

Yuan Huixia's face was black: "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself, well, that's all." ”

"Roar, let's do this first."

The uncle seemed to anticipate that Yuan Huixia was going to hang up the phone, so he hung up first.

Leaving Yuan Huixia to listen to the beeping sound from the mobile phone, he pouted helplessly.

As for the work...

I've become dark, and I still have to go to work?

It's just a fool of Uncle Dean.

Spark: →_→ Bad Taste, Cut.

"Woo..."

Yuan Huixia walked on the street a little lost.

The fact that the rented house is gone, which means that there is no place to live.

Penniless again...

What should I do now?

Do you really want to go to work?

"Part-time job, it's impossible to work in this life..."

A man with messy hair and a strange face seemed to appear in Hui Xia's mind.

"Woo..."

"I said Sachiko, if you can't find your mother, you can go to the police uncle, what's the matter with me?"

Yuan Huixia was very upset by the crying.

Helplessly, he turned around and squatted down.

Looking at the human cub in front of him, who was about five or six years old.

"Whew."

"Whew."

The little girl took a few steps back in panic, then sniffed hard.

His eyes widened and shining, and he looked at him pitifully.

The little hands tugged at the dresses on their bodies, and the shoes grinded and rubbed on the ground.

“…”

Seeing the cub squirming like this, Yuan Huixia didn't know what to say.

"You give me back my balloons..."

The little girl bit her lip, as if she had plucked up a lot of courage.

Cowardly and fierce.

"I was so careless just now..."

"It's a big deal, I'll just pay you one."

Yuan Hui Xia was a little embarrassed.

Just now, when he was walking aimlessly, he accidentally bumped into a child, and as a result, he knocked her balloon away...

It could have slipped away.

It turns out that I know this kid...

At that time, the little guy tried to raise his little hand, raised his little head, and jumped up with all his might, intending to reach the balloon...

And I subconsciously slapped the balloon and it flew higher...

"I don't want you to pay for it, just give me back the ball from before."

The little girl gasped softly, her eyes wandering, and she tilted her head to show that I was serious.

“…”

Yuan Hui Xia's body was a little stiff.

Do you want me to call Melba out and help you get down?

"Sachiko..."

"Sachiko?! Why did you come here and make your mother so worried! ”

A somewhat petite young woman hurriedly ran over, and when she saw her own cub communicating with the neighbor teenager, she was anxious and panicked, hugged her, and said angrily.

"That's... My balloons..."

The little girl ignored her mother, but clinged to it.

"Hey, Hui Xia-kun, thank you for helping me take care of the child..."

Seeing Mrs. Gibbon's grateful face, she thanked her again and again.

Yuan Huixia waved his hand awkwardly.

Meow, I met the parents.

Take care, take care can't talk about it.

Just don't see your child crying.

"That, balloons..."

The little girl's eyes were a little watery, and she looked like she was about to cry.

She firmly grasped Yuan Huixia's arm, and tears flowed stubbornly from her eyes.

"Uh, I'll get you there now."

"Ah, Sachiko, why are you so ignorant?"

"By the way, Hui Xiajun, is there no place to live?"

Mrs. Gibbon gently touched the child's head and asked.

"Uh, yes..."

Genhui Xia's face was a little hot, although Mrs. Yoshimoto's house was destroyed by monsters, and it didn't have much to do with herself...

Probably...

But can poverty be seen at a glance?

Well... Forget it, let's find an identical balloon for the little guy later.

"Would you like to go to the store and help me first? Looks like Sachiko likes you a lot, too. There are also rooms to stay in... It's not too late to wait for Hui Xia Jun to find a better house and then move, hey, it just so happens that Hui Xia Jun doesn't have a stable job yet..."

Mrs. Yoshimoto was a little verbose, but Teruxia could sense her care and kindness.

didn't notice the expression of the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law in the other party's eyes.

Sakura's child is not young anymore, and Hui Xia has a good temper and character...

Well... Feelings still have to accumulate over time, and everything can be done naturally.

Mrs. Gibbon still has her own little ninety-nine in her heart.

Where do you see that this kid likes me very much?

Teruxia glanced down at Sachiko, who was stubbornly tugging at her pants.

(She can't reach her arm when she stands up.) )

But he did get a little moved.

Mrs. Yoshimoto has a coffee shop, and business is usually good.

Not in C1 though, but in B2.

Mrs. Yoshimoto and Mr. Yoshimoto are the landlords of Gen Hui Xia.

To be precise, that small building belonged to the Yoshimoto family.

Usually it is Mrs. Gibbon who collects rent, and her husband is said to work at UPC.

"Ah, thank you very much..."

Yuan Hui Xia didn't know what to say.

Anyway, he is familiar with the Yoshimoto family, and he is really embarrassed now.

Besides, life in a coffee shop should be very laid-back, right?

"That's it, I'll send you the address in a moment..."

"I'll take Sachiko back first, Hui Xiajun must come~"

Mrs. Yoshimoto smiled, and naturally picked up Sachiko, who was fighting with Teruxia's trouser legs.

"Ah, thank you so much. I will definitely go. ”

Hui Xia, you just said the same thing to your uncle...

"Balloons..."

Hui Xia watched being carried away, still squeezing her little head out of her mother's shoulder, staring directly at her Sachiko, and could only wave her hand awkwardly.

"I won't forget."

made such a mouth shape, the little guy actually understood, and waved his little hand with a smile.
