From nine to five.
"Hello, um... Excuse me, is Mr. Junichiro here?"
Standing behind the counter, looking at the bespectacled man who walked in from outside the store with a somewhat reserved expression, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the video recorder on the counter, a business-like smile suddenly appeared on Tsukuyomi's face.
"Hello, guest."
Tsukuyomi nodded to the man with glasses, then pointed to the video recorder placed on the counter.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Junichiro is not in the store right now, but you are here to pick up this video recorder that has been repaired, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
Seeing the friendly smile on Tsukuyomi's face, and hearing what Tsukuyomi said, the man with glasses was obviously relieved, and even the restraint on his face faded a lot.
"So, would you like to check the repair status of this video recorder?"
Tsukuyomi kept his smile unchanged and continued to ask.
In response, the man with glasses shook his head without hesitation.
"No need, I believe in Mr. Junichiro's skills! Since he said it has been fixed, it must have been fixed!"
"That's it. Thank you for your trust in our store, then..."
Hearing this, Tsukuyomi smiled a little more sincerely, and then raised his hand to signal.
"Now you can take it with you."
After watching the bespectacled man leave with the video recorder in his arms, Tsukuyomi put away the repair bill that the bespectacled man placed on the table. After making a note in the account book, he stretched and walked out from behind the counter.
On future tablets, the query results are already available.
There does not exist a 'third' Fuck Maharuto in this world.
At least, that's the information I got from the Internet.
Well, it was just an expected result. After her conversation with Kao Zhenharuto, it no longer mattered whether there were any results from this query.
Thinking like this, she turned her gaze to where Ali was lying down to rest, then her eyes widened suddenly, and she called out repeatedly:
"Xiao Li!?"
Ali, who was resting there just now, disappeared!
"Xiao Li! Where are you——!??"
Tsukuyomi's face was suddenly filled with an anxious look.
When Kao Zhenqingren left, she told her to help take care of Ali. As a result, when Kao Zhenqingren went to help Zhuang Wu and Gates fight against the alien knights, she let Ali disappear under her nose. How about this? To keep her calm?
She is preparing to go through her nine to five days...
However, at this moment, with the sound of "ding bell", the store door was opened from the outside, and Tokiwa Shogo walked in from the door with a slightly tired face.
"Tsukuyomi? What's wrong with you?"
Looking at Tsukuyomi who looked anxious and panicked, Tokiwa Shougo asked in confusion.
"Zhuang Wu, Ali is gone. She was here just now..."
Pointing to the place where the round table was placed in the living room, Tsukuyomi quickly replied.
"It just so happens that you are familiar with the store. Come and search the other rooms in the store. I'll go look outside!"
After saying that, Tsukuyomi was about to rush out the door, but when he passed by Tokiwa Shogo, Tokiwa Shogo grabbed his hand and pulled him back.
"Don't worry!"
He looked into Tsukuyomi's eyes, smiling calmly on his face, and his voice had a special charm that made people want to believe it involuntarily.
"No problem, Xiaoli just returned to her 'home'."
Affected by Tokiwa Shougo's calmness and gaining support from his eyes, Tsukuyomi's mood gradually calmed down.
After calming down, she thought about what Tokiwa Shogo had just said, her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes suddenly looked at Tokiwa Shogo with some suspicion.
"——Wait, how did you know that Xiaoli came home?"
Tokiwa Shogo said "hehe" twice, took out the wizard knight watch and threw it, and said without humility: "I just sent her back. With the power of this magic, how could I not know? "
Tsukuyomi: "..."
--really! If that's the case, you should have said this earlier! ? ?
She glared at Tokiwa Shogo fiercely. She originally wanted to knock Tokiwa Shogo, but after seeing the fatigue on Tokiwa Shogo's face, she changed her mind. After pausing for a moment, the movement of her hand did not hit him. Tokiwa Shogo's forehead, but stretched out his hand to catch the wizard knight watch before it was thrown up from Tokiwa Shogo's hand again before it fell.
"Stop playing. If you're tired, go upstairs and have a good rest."
"Yes~Yes~~"
Tokiwa Shogo looked at Tsukuyomi, who turned around after speaking and walked towards the pedestal where the knight's watch was placed, holding the wizard knight's watch, smiled softly, and walked upstairs.
Ding bell~
The bell on the shop door rang again.
Tsukuyomi stuck the Wizard Knight watch on the pedestal. He turned around in confusion and saw Junichiro Tokiwa coming in first, holding the door of the store to prevent it from closing. Then he stepped forward first, lifted the curtain, and stood behind him. , is Gates holding a computer host and monitor.
"Mr. Junichiro, Gates? Why did you come back together?"
While Tsukuyomi asked in surprise, he quickly stepped forward and took the monitor mounted on the computer host in Gates's arms, and moved them together to the repair shop at the counter.
"Yeah - I met him at the door, and then Gates volunteered to help me move. Thank you very much."
Putting down the power cord of the computer in his hand, Junichiro Tokiwa wiped his sweat and said with a smile.
"Well, so is Tsukuyomi. Thank you for your hard work."
Junichiro Tokiwa clapped his hands and said, "Yo Xi, let's see how many special dishes I will cook for you tonight! By the way, where is Haruto and Xiaoli?"
After hearing Junichiro Tokiwa's question, and seeing Gates who stopped and listened attentively after hearing these words, Tsukuyomi recalled the answer Shogo Tokiwa just gave her, with a bright smile on her face.
"——They went home."
…
…
Outside the shadow hall.
Kao Zhenqingren raised his head and looked at the plaque that was deeply engraved in his memory.
If there is a place in this world that he can call 'home', then it must be the antique shop that took him and Ali in when they were homeless. .
[If you don’t have a place to live, just stay here with me. People who have lost their place to return will have the same look in their eyes. 】
These words that seemed like gospel to him were exactly what Uncle Wajima said when he took them in.
He originally wanted to go directly to 9 to 5, but he received a call from a reliable junior on the way.
"Xiao Li has gone home, you should go back too!"
So, he came here.
Taking a deep breath, Kao Zhenqingren raised his hand and pushed open the door of Mianyingtang.
"Brother Haruto!"
"a!"
"a."
Familiar voices in my memory sounded one by one.
Nara Shunpei's, Daimon Rinko's, Uncle Wajima's, and...
Standing in front of the door, Ali seemed to have known that he would come back here, so he was waiting in front of the door.
"Welcome back."
She opened her arms to Fu Maharuto.
"Ah, I'm back."
Cao Zhenqingren also opened his arms and hugged Ali tightly, his eyes swept over everyone's bodies one by one, and finally closed his eyes, gently resting his chin on Ali's head, and tightened his arms more and more.
"So warm."
"Yeah, you too, Haruto."
