Kuriyama Mai trotted all the way to the convenience store last night, but after picking out the ingredients and walking to the cashier, he was stunned for a moment.
The cute girl with short hair was gone, replaced by an old man with a white beard.
"Is it her day off today?" He quickly put the ingredients on the counter and murmured in a low voice.
The old man seemed to have understood what he was thinking. He looked at him with wrinkled eyes and said:
"Wei-chan no longer works here."
"Ah? So soon. Wasn't she still working here yesterday?" Kuriyama Maiji blurted out the doubts in his mind.
But the old man looked at him impatiently and said:
"Guys like you should stop pestering Wei-chan. She hates bad guys like you the most."
However, since the old man said this, it also proved that he and Asaka Yui were very familiar, so Kuriyama Mai asked tentatively while paying:
"Grandpa, can you give me her contact information? I still owe her a sum of money that I haven't paid back."
But the old man seemed not to understand, his eyes seemed to pass through him, and he shouted emotionlessly behind him:
"Next!"
Kuriyama Mai still looked at him with some reluctance, but the old man didn't show any mercy to him. He waved his hand in a chasing gesture and said sternly:
"Please leave quickly after paying the bill. Don't waste the time of the people waiting in line behind you."
Kuriyama Mai looked back and saw that the people in the team all looked at him with disdain. He knew that he was in the wrong, so he picked up the ingredients he bought and walked towards home.
It seems that I can only give it to her when she is at school. It is really annoying to always owe a small favor.

A single apartment in Takadanobaba, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo
Even though Ken Takayama was known as the No. 1 tyrant of Nakamurabashi in Nerima District before he joined the Mitsui family security company, he would go to any game arcade and there would be boys offering him cigarettes and water.
But since he joined the company, although he was well paid, he has gradually lost the freedom he had before, and his current work has become more and more difficult, but he has no choice but to endure it just to make ends meet.
Especially now that the little girl with blond hair, blue eyes, twin tails, and less than 1.5 meters tall was making him worried to death.
Originally, he wanted to use the old excuse of "your brother entrusted me to pick you up" to coax the little girl into the car, but the girl didn't give him face at all, ignored him and walked away.
Not only did his colleagues see the joke, but Nakamura, who was already dissatisfied with him, became furious with him and directly assigned him the task of guarding the little girl, while the others pulled the net to catch the turtle.
The little girl cried for a while when she first got in the car, but before her mouth was shut, she regained a strange calmness, like a sinister loli waiting for her final darkening.
Because he had just joined the club not long ago, he didn't have his own territory yet, so he had to take the girl back to the rented apartment. According to Nakamura's arrangement, he had to listen to his instructions before he could let the girl go home.
This was tantamount to putting him on the fire. He knew that Nakamura's operation was absolutely against the will of the eldest lady, and once the matter was exposed, all the responsibility would be placed on him alone.
He even wanted to let the little girl go immediately, but he couldn't bear the risk of directly offending his immediate boss, so the current situation froze with a snap.
Once she returned to the apartment, the little girl tried to snatch his mobile phone several times to no avail, then sat down on the sofa without saying a word, ignoring him as he offered him water, food, and snacks.
Although impatient anger gradually ignited in his heart, he did not want to be too harsh to the girl.
He just wanted to keep her under guard until Nakamura was notified, and didn't want any other unnecessary operations.
Because no matter what happens, Nakamura will definitely pass the responsibility to him without hesitation.
The two people, one large and one small, were sitting side by side on the sofa like this. Takayama Ken had never felt that time was passing so painfully.
Moreover, this overly cute girl's eyes had a decisive coldness to her, and even he, who was experienced in society, did not want to look into her eyes.

"I'm back~"
Kuriyama Mai cleared her throat and shouted into the empty living room.
But the room was deserted, and there was no response. He looked around the room and found that Xiaonan hadn't gone home yet.
Did she join any club and was delayed?
Kuriyama Mai looked at the clock and it was almost six o'clock. She felt more and more strange in her heart. She quickly called Xiaonan's mobile phone from her home landline, but she always reminded that it was turned off.
Something's wrong! In the memory of the original owner, Xiaonan didn't seem to have made many friends in the class. She always insisted on going home immediately after school.
He quickly went to the system for help, but the system only displayed coldly in front of him:
【Error】
[Explanation: Only those of the opposite sex whose charm value is A+ or above can be targeted]
He had to go to the school to look around first, maybe something happened suddenly. He put the rice in the rice cooker and boiled it, then got dressed again and got ready to go.
"Didi didi"
At this time, there was a rapid ringtone from the landline. Was it the original owner's father calling to inquire about the situation? He picked up the phone without thinking much, but there was silence on the other end of the phone.
He asked tentatively:
"Hello, hello, this is Kuriyama's house. Who is this?"
"Oh? You must be Kuriyama Mai, that bastard last night."
The tone on the other end of the phone was very frivolous, without any respect at all. Kuriyama Mai also asked in a more serious tone:
"You have something to say! What do you want to do?"
"Hahahahaha~ You are quite tough. Please come to 2-15-3 Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku before seven o'clock."
Kuriyama Maiton felt unhappy and immediately asked:
"Why should I obey your orders?"
"You have no right to resist. I'll tell you something nice."
Suddenly, there was a cry on the phone, 'My brother will not ask such a strange person to pick me up! ', "Do you understand? You're a tough-talking bastard."
The tone on the other end of the phone became threatening, "If you can't come on time or call the police, we can't guarantee the safety of this cute little girl. Hey, see you soon!"
"Hey! What do you want to do to Xiaonan!"
But no matter how much he yelled, there was only a disconnection sound on the other end of the phone.
When he called back, there was only a notification tone indicating that the call was temporarily unavailable.
He collapsed on the sofa. Xiaonan was actually kidnapped? Does the original owner’s father have any enemies?
He couldn't believe it, so he quickly went to the sink and washed his face with cold water before regaining his composure.
He shook off the water droplets on his face and thought to himself, this matter is simply weird and weird. The kidnapping is not for money, but just to make him go to a strange place. What is this?
Could it be me?
Suddenly, his eyes looking at the glass of the sink became extremely sharp.
Mitsui Kanon!
Excluding the grievances of the original owner, judging from the experience of the past two days, only a terrifyingly beautiful woman like her has the strength and motivation to do such a thing.
This stupid woman may only remember last night when her dignity was ruined, and may not take the traitor to her heart at all.
Kuriyama Mai decided on the idea and asked the system if there was any contact information for Mitsui Kanon.
[Please pay 25 heartbeat points]
He paid the heartbeat value without hesitation, and all the contact information of Mitsui Kanon was projected in front of him. He immediately rushed to the landline and dialed the number.
"Who are you?" she asked coldly, and the background voice was a little noisy.
"Are you still wearing white lace today? Bitch!"
Kuriyama Mai couldn't help the anger in his heart and cursed directly.
"It's you bastard!"
Mitsui Kanon heard the voice that had haunted her in her dreams for a long time, and she scolded back without any sign of weakness.
Wait, she then thought, has this guy already cleaned up Nakamura and the others?
"Where is my sister!"
The other end of the phone asked politely.
"?"
Mitsui Kanon suddenly didn't understand what he was talking about.
