It was a gloomy morning, thick clouds obscured the sun, and the air was dreary.

The manager asked Asakura Lu and Toba to come to the leaf to see the store, and he came out to have dinner with friends from his school days.

Compared with the store manager who has "bold" written all over his body, this friend of his wears glasses, looks like Kochi, and has a calm temperament.

The two had dinner at a large restaurant while having a drink and talking to each other about their student days.

Talking and talking, we talked from the past to the present.

"You shouldn't be having an easy time right now." The store manager's glasses friend asked.

He heard that the store manager's shop and home had been destroyed by the monsters, and thought that if he was in trouble, he would help him.

The store manager nodded heavily:

"Yes, my favorite writer, Mr. Izuku Fushii, is still uncertain."

"When I think of this kind of thing, I am so anxious that I can't eat well."

Glasses Friend: "? ”

What the hell, why do you still care about others, shouldn't you sympathize with yourself first?

The glasses friend asked tentatively: "What about you, how is your life lately?" ”

Store manager: "It's good, let's open a store in another place and sleep in another place." ”

Glasses friends don't know what to say, thinking that the store manager is still the same optimist as always.

At this moment, a shrill woman's voice broke the conversation between the two.

"Stupid like this, I might as well have a dog!"

"I feed you and wear for you, do I make you ugly like this!"

The manager and his friends with glasses both turned around and noticed that the sound was coming from the main table in the middle of the first floor of the restaurant.

There seemed to be a large family having dinner together, both men and women, young and old, with two apparently underage children, a boy and a girl.

I saw a middle-aged woman slap a girl in the face, directly knocking the latter's face away.

The sixteen-year-old girl didn't move much after being beaten, didn't resist, didn't scream, and her eyes were numb.

This made the middle-aged woman seem even more angry, and dragged her out by tugging at her hair.

Those relatives hurriedly came up to stop them:

"Stop, stop, you can't hit the child like this, the child will be broken."

"Isn't Qianzi in a bad mood today, she must have stayed up late to do her homework, and it's understandable that her hands are shaking."

"Hey, brother, you don't care, your daughter is going to be killed."

The daughter's father just looked at all this coldly, and only after being mentioned did he say slowly:

"Jade can't be cut, her mother just let her have a long memory."

Store manager: "What are you doing?" ”

At the table next to them, a balding old man, apparently watching the play for a long time, explained:

"Parents on both sides are showing off their children and letting them show off their talents."

"When the girl showed the tea ceremony, her hands shook and the teacup turned over, and she was scolded."

When the store manager heard this, he immediately became angry: "At this time, shouldn't you care about whether the child is burned first, what kind of parents should this be." ”

After saying that, he stood up and wanted to reason with the family.

The glasses friend hurriedly stopped: "Hey, hey, that's someone's housework, and we have no position to interfere." ”

The bald old man also thinks so:

"If you go to help, the most people can apologize for a few words: 'I made you noisy and caused you trouble'."

"When you're gone, the girl will suffer even more, and her parents will take their temper out on her."

The store manager sat down again and muttered, "How can there be such parents." ”

His glasses friend hurriedly changed the subject:

"These days, the monsters have come out, and it's not normal for some overly strict parents to appear."

"Don't talk about others, let's talk about you, you're so old, don't you think about getting married and having children?"

The store manager shook his head: "I don't have this idea for the time being, but I have a lot of outstanding juniors, such as Ellie, Xiao Lu and their ......"

The two talked again on the topic of "cultivating" juniors.

The bald old man next to him was also very interested, so the store manager simply asked him to come and sit together.

The glasses friend whispered: "Anyway, I won't lose my temper with my child in public, it's too bad." ”

The bald old man also said: "That is, the children of such a family will not be able to raise their heads in society in the future." ”

As he spoke, the time passed.

The store manager looked at the time and said that he had to go back to see the store, and Xiao Lu would have friends who would come to him, and he had to go back to replace him.

Glasses friend: "Okay, then we'll meet again next time." ”

By the time the two left, the main table had dispersed, leaving only the little girl and her parents.

The sixteen-year-old girl, dressed in black leather shoes, stared blankly at her parents.

The mother's face was still gloomy, and she cried out:

"Look at what, I beat you for your own good, and I don't care about other people's children."

"In order to train you to be an excellent adult, your father and I are reluctant to eat and wear, do you know how difficult it is for us?"

"Your dad and I didn't get into a good university, and now we have our hopes pinned on you. If you don't fight again, who will fight for our family in the future? ”

The store manager couldn't help but turn around, and his friend hurriedly grabbed him: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, go back to the store quickly." ”

The store manager looked at the little girl, and a chill inexplicably rose in his heart: "You say, what will such a child be like when he grows up?" ”

Glasses friend said: "There are many such children, many parents are also parents for the first time, and it is normal for the education method to be a little problematic." ”

The store manager touched his chest: "I always feel that I am very depressed......"

But as he left the restaurant, the feeling of depression instantly diminished a lot.

When he returned to the store, he saw that Amakura Riku and Toba were still busy.

As soon as he wanted to go up and ask Xiao Lu why your friend hadn't come yet, he saw a man in white standing in the woods on the side.

He looked at Asakura Lu from a distance, with an inexplicable melancholy in his eyes.

The store manager had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and stepped forward and asked, "You are Xiao Lu's friend, your name is Kefu, right?" ”

The man in white nodded: "It's me, you are the store manager of Xiao Lu, thank you for taking care of him for so many years." ”

The store manager scratched his head: "It's nothing, everyone else likes Xiao Lu too." You're here to find him, right, I'm going to take his shift now, you guys go around the neighborhood and have a good look, I remember the video game city is over there. ”

Kefu shook his head: "No, I'll just look at Xiao Lu from a distance." ”

The store manager was curious: "Take a look? No, aren't you a good friend of Xiao Lu? Xiao Lu, your friend Kefu is here! ”

The store manager's voice attracted Xiao Lu's attention.

He looked over at once, his face full of surprise.

……………………

Next, it will be a very tight continuous plot, so let's wait and see.
