Chapter 111 Little Hedgehog
Chapter 111 Little Hedgehog
Neon is a typical maritime climate country surrounded by the sea and traversed by ocean currents. Its unique climatic conditions result in the weather being slightly milder than that of its western neighbors, regardless of winter or summer.
Especially for people like Xiangzi who work on the front line of publicity and have to stay in airtight doll costumes all day, such sunny but not too hot weather is simply a gift from God.
"Good luck today, Xiangzi!"
"Okay, boss, you do your best too!"
After getting a thick stack of flyers that needed to be distributed today from the ramen shop owner, Xiangzi got into the doll costume in a somewhat embarrassed manner and asked the owner to help him zip it up.
The doll Xiaoxiang makes a grand appearance!
The observation hole of the doll costume was a little unclear due to excessive use. Xiangzi moved to the street where he often worked with some difficulty, stood under the familiar telephone pole, straightened his back and started to work.
It’s really great. Not only can you earn more than 10,000 yen just by standing there casually, you can also eat the ramen shop owner’s lunch at noon, and you can also see all kinds of people so you don’t get bored.
It’s much better than when I was a customer service representative. There are still differences between service industries.
That girl with golden hair is the one who took twenty flyers at once last time. In a sense, she is my benefactor. Let me say hello to her... She has such a bright smile, so cute!
Wow, Yashiro Ruyu-senpai... It's been a while since I last saw you. I used to be so taken care of by you in the junior high school department. Let me say hello... You have a great figure, Ruyu-senpai. I'm so envious...
Eh? It's the lights.
Turning my sight, the five-member wild mygo faction appeared, but it was obvious that the atmosphere between them was somewhat tense.
There is a distance between Su Shi and Li Xi, as if they have some conflict, but they do not move away from each other. Instead, their steps are basically synchronized in a straight line, and the two of them get along very awkwardly.
Deng was sandwiched between two people, speaking very fast but with a little stuttering. Such scenes would occasionally appear in the past, and it was very popular.
Aine and the kitten-like girl walked behind, one busy looking at her phone while the other was eating ice cream quite intently.
Well……
Xiangzi touched the flyers in his hand through his thick gloves. Only one third of them were left. It was still early, so he decided to go over and say hello to them and help them break the ice.
Anyway, I can't produce my original voice, and no one will recognize it if I change my voice.
He did what he said. Xiangzi stomped his feet, then walked to the front of the crowd like a penguin, posing in a very funny manner.
"Hello..."
"Hello! Please accept this!"
Two hands - one wearing a thick cotton glove and the other wearing a red sweatshirt, with a small hand with a slender wrist faintly visible, stretched out in front of the lamp at the same time.
"Hey... wait, Su Shi, Li Xi..."
Keai Deng's brain seemed to be single-threaded. He was shocked by the simultaneous appearance of two hands and looked at Su Shi and Li Xi beside him for help.
"You two--" Li Xi had obviously suppressed negative energy for a long time, and he was directly and rudely yelling at the owners of the two hands.
"Surely we don't know each other?"
"Are you looking for trouble by coming here to block the light?"
"Lixi, wait a minute..."
Su Shi launched an invincible attack and resolved the duel launched by the legendary general Shiina Fengxian who was eager to protect his master.
Reaching out to take... Actually, it would be more accurate to say that he took a flyer from the two people. Su Shi politely said to Xiangzi and the other person: "I'm sorry to scare you two. Please move aside."
The Mygo forces left, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot. Xiangzi could still vaguely hear Su Shi speaking to Li Xi in a friendly manner:
"Lixi, I just want to distribute flyers, don't speak so rudely..."
"Huh? Those two guys are blocking the way..."
"Didn't we buy the road? Your unreasonable behavior will damage the lights."
"...Oh, I'll be more careful next time... Also, I was a little impatient yesterday, don't mind it."
"It's okay, I wasn't doing anything right..."
Mygo's influence has probably indeed gone away.
Even if you say something inappropriate, it won't damage the lamp.
Through the observation hole, Xiangzi looked indifferently at the brown-haired girl who also had some malice towards him.
Which unit are you from?
Thanks to the ten-centimeter height increase of the doll costume, Xiangzi was able to look down at the guy who ruined his mood.
"I haven't seen you before. Which group are you from? Did you know that I'm responsible for distributing flyers on this street?"
"What are you talking about? Is this street your home?"
"Are you some kind of gangster?"
Unexpectedly, the other party did not show any sign of being intimidated, but instead tried his best to stand on tiptoe to confront him.
And as soon as the other party opened his mouth, his childish voice made Xiangzi regret stealing his business.
I'm a high school student, why am I arguing with a kid who comes out to work and study to supplement the family income? It's so degrading!
"...Forget it, don't come here next time."
After saying that, Xiangzi took the remaining flyers and moved to another place, dragging the thick clothes weighing more than ten pounds and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, the petite girl came forward and spoke very fiercely.
"You wanna leave now, you bastard?"
"If it weren't for you messing things up, I would have been able to hand out flyers to everyone! Maybe I could have gotten off work early today!"
"Do you think I really want to come here? If Momoka hadn't gotten drunk and used all the money for the meal to order alcohol, I wouldn't have come out and done this... Ugh!
puff-
If the other person hadn't gotten closer and closer, slipped on the plastic bag on the ground and fell heavily, I would have felt a little guilty and sympathetic.
Xiangzi repeatedly verified that people really do laugh when they are speechless.
……
"……pain!"
"You deserve it. You didn't look where you were going."
Influenced by Kashiwa Sanhui, Xiangzi has developed the habit of carrying alcohol spray with him.
He gently wrapped gauze and a bandage around the girl's already disinfected knee, closed the medical kit, and returned it to the kind ramen shop owner.
"Have you had lunch?" Xiangzi sat aside, looking carefully at the little bomb-like girl with his beautiful eyes.
"No...you want to treat me?"
"No," Xiangzi went to his boss and asked for a work meal, ready to eat and drink his fill before continuing to work. "You eat your own."
"Oh."
The atmosphere between the two was a little quiet. In theory, they were competitors.
"Um... my name is Jingqin Rencai." Rencai introduced herself and poked Xiangzi's shoulder, looking a little embarrassed.
"I'll go somewhere else later, thank you."
Well, it turns out to be just a cute child. It looked so scary just now, but it turned out to be a little hedgehog.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Toyokawa Shoko."
The two men shook hands, and Xiangzi smiled somewhat softly.
"Let's work together from now on. It will be more efficient if we distribute flyers together."
"Oh...oh, okay."
"*How about adding me on LINE? We can keep in touch later."
"Okay... I'll add you."
"Would you like to join me after get off work? I'll buy you some coffee. I know a guy who's really good at making lattes."
"Well, thank you."
For a moment, the ramen shop was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
As for the guy who Xiangzi mentioned who was particularly good at making lattes.
The distance from them is actually not far.
But he wasn't that happy.
