"If you don't have a place to live, just stay here with us first. Although the place is a bit small, it's still okay to entertain friends."
Kuki Shinobu didn't say whether he would agree to be his guest. Although the Arataki faction seemed a bit childish, it would be too childish to become a guest without understanding anything on the first day.
"Thank you very much!"
Jiang Bai lived here.
I got a place to stay for free, and food and accommodation were included.
Although it was a tatami room with several people crammed into a room, it was indeed better than sleeping in the wilderness.
Yidou took Jiang Bai up to the second floor and introduced him, "This is A-nin's room. You can sleep here with us at night."
Jiang Bai looked at the room pointed by Arataki Yidou. It was quite big, and the bed and bedding were neat, so it was not crowded for four people.
"Boss, you are so kind!"
Yidou patted his chest, "Since you accept me as your boss, I will naturally take good care of you!"
In order to celebrate meeting new friends, Kuki Shinobu went straight to the ramen shop in Hanamizaka with a few people who had taken a shower and changed clothes and Akira who finally met him.
"Boss, six bowls of ramen, one of which does not require beans or fried tofu!"
Several people were obviously regulars here, occupying a large table.
"The ramen in this ramen shop is quite delicious. I once competed with a fox woman here. I beat her by eating thirty bowls in a row and got the last seat!"
Yidou introduced Jiang Bai, while not forgetting to brag about his achievements.
Jiuqi Ren unceremoniously broke down the situation, "Yeah, but because there were beans in the ramen, I went back and lay down for a month."
"Don't talk about this kind of thing!" Arataki Yidou said angrily.
He doesn’t need the face of being the boss anymore!
Kuki sighed.
"as long as you are happy."
What can she do with such a boss?
I can only let him.
I don't know why, but Jiang Bai has already accepted the fact that Arataki Yidou had to eat himself until he was lying down for a month in a competition like this after they had only known each other for a day.
There was an inexplicable feeling that this was what he would do.
"Can't the boss eat beans?" he asked curiously.
"No, you can't touch it."
"Is it an allergy?"
"Roughly the same……"
The ramen was served quickly, and Arataki took a big sip, which greatly stimulated the eater's appetite.
Jiang Bai took a taste and felt that it tasted really good.
His eyes fell on Kuki-nin, who was about to take off her noodle armor to eat. She looked around and found no one she knew. Then she took off her noodle armor and ate noodles.
Her movements were so fast that Jiang Bai didn't see clearly what she looked like.
"Why is Sister Nin wearing a mask? Are you afraid of being recognized?"
He felt that this A-nin was afraid of being recognized by acquaintances.
"Well, my family doesn't know about my involvement in the Arataki sect. They want me to do what they think is a serious job, but I don't like it."
"I see. Then you have to be careful not to be recognized." Jiang Bai moved his body to help her block the sight that might fall on her.
A few of them knew about this kind of thing.
Yidou drank the noodle soup in one gulp, "If you ask me, happiness is the most important thing! Work and other things, as long as you don't starve to death!"
Before Aren joined the Arataki sect, he never worried about life.
What he pursues is hedonism, having fun when it's time to spend time, and having fun when you need it.
"What a great idea, boss!"
While Jiang Bai was eating noodles, he paid attention to what the diners around him were talking about.
"Oh, the price of ramen has increased again. This is the first time this year that the price has increased? If it increases again, I won't be able to afford it."
"There is no way. Narukami Island only has so little food. It's not the harvest season yet. Some families in the village have no rice for cooking. They can only wait for relief food from the shogunate."
"When it comes to this relief food, I get angry. This month's food has not been distributed yet! My family is almost out of food!"
"There must be someone who is greedy. Tianling has officials protecting each other. Is there anything that can be done about it?"
"Let me tell you, it's all because of this damn national lock-up order. Why is the country so well-locked? Mora is getting more and more tired."
"Hush! Are you blaming the General!"
"No way, how dare I not say anything to the General."
Jiang Bai listened to these conversations with some emotion, "It feels like everyone is very dissatisfied with the national lockdown order."
“In the past, I heard very few complaints about the national lockdown, but recently, for some reason, I heard more and more.”
Kuki Shinobi felt that there might be some reason for this. She guessed that the food stored by the shogunate was gradually bottoming out and relief food could no longer be distributed.
Jiang Bai knew some of the reasons. All of this was just the social practice that played a role in it.
Although the people had complained about the country-locking order before, because it was issued by the General, they did not dare to say anything despite their complaints. However, with the secret promotion of the society, doubts about the country-locking order are no longer buried in the hearts of the people.
Several people had eaten and drank enough, and were walking struttingly on the street. Except for Kuki Shinobi, they all took toothpicks to pick their teeth, splayed their faces, and looked like they didn't care about anyone. They looked like a gangster.
Fortunately, Hu Tao wasn't there, otherwise he would have grabbed Jiang Bai's ears and taught him a lesson.
Jiang Bai blended in and felt a little interesting watching the passers-by who were avoiding him.
Is this what it feels like to be a gangster? It's quite fun.
He bought a handful of lollipops from the roadside and handed one to each of them, "Boss, come and eat some candies."
Ever since, the toothpick in his mouth turned into a lollipop.
The gangsters who looked vicious turned out to be holding lollipops in their mouths, which had a very comedic effect.
"Xiao Xiaoshi, go back to sleep! Tomorrow morning I will use the super invincible Thunderbolt and Invincible Ghost Pocket King I caught today to kill all those little brats without leaving any trace behind!"
Jiang Bai followed Huang Taki to fight for three days. How to put it, just two words - happy!
Although it is not as happy as being with the hall master, in this Dao Wife, this happiness is extremely rare.
Today, Jiang Bai went out to have fun with Arataki Yidou as usual, feeling that there were fewer people on the street.
"Hey, why does the atmosphere feel different today?"
"Who knows, it's none of our business."
"Jiang Bai, you are here!" Paimon's shout came from a distance.
She flew over in a swish, "We have been looking for you for a few days, and it turns out you are here!"
Sora also ran over quickly.
They gave Jiang Bai a way to contact them, but they forgot to let Jiang Bai give him a way to contact him.
"What's wrong?"
"Toma said that the thing was found, let's go to the Muliao Teahouse to talk about it."
Because there were other people around, Paimon's words were vague.
Jiang Bai didn't intend to involve the Arataki Sect, "Boss, I'll go do some work first. You guys go play first. I'll go back by myself after I'm done."
Although Ichito Arataki knew Toma, he was currently focused on fighting insects and did not want to get involved in unnecessary matters.
"Then let's go play. Don't you know the way, Abai!"
"Don't worry, I will ask for directions!"
