There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

Line connected.

"Mr. Qianxun, right? I'm Li Nian."

"Why are you trying to stay out all night like Mitaka?"

Teacher Chihiro opened her mouth with a lazy questioning tone.

"…Teacher, do you still care about this?"

Li Nian was a little surprised. Teacher Qianxun gave people the impression that she didn't care much about things. It was just a matter of not coming home all night. Mitaka stayed at the married woman's house all day and all night, but she didn't say anything about the senior. Why did she suddenly come to him to talk about this now?

This rhetorical question seemed to choke the other party, and his tone turned cold.

"You have an opinion about me caring about you?"

"of course not."

"Hmph... well, I don't really care, but I just thought I should ask. For the time being, I'm the dormitory manager of Sakurasou, and I'll be responsible if anything happens to you."

Li Nian said "...Oh." and felt in his heart that these words sounded a bit arrogant.

"So, where did you go all night?" Teacher Chihiro pressed further.

Li Nian thought about it and of course didn't intend to say that he had a bloody fight with monsters, so he just came up with an excuse.

"I went to work the night shift at my part-time job."

Li Nian's parents passed away and he had financial pressure. This excuse was quite reasonable. Teacher Qianxun seemed to accept it and heard a sigh of relief from the other side.

"Really? It doesn't matter what happens. I just need to know that you're still alive. I won't ask you next time. Bye."

——Dududu

Teacher Qianxun simply hung up the phone. Li Nian put down the phone, but still felt a trace of her concern and a smile appeared on his face.

I glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the screen and saw that it was Saturday morning.

But after a night of sleep, the feeling of fatigue pressing on me felt as if I had slept for ten days or half a month.

I'm glad it didn't turn out like that. After all, I still have a part-time job to arrange... I was fighting for my life and almost died just before my memory was cut off. Less than a day later, I'm still thinking about this little thing...

Li Nian felt that he was a bit too heartless, but it was true that he didn't have any particularly strong feelings about the battle, as if deep in his heart he had already accepted his fate and felt that the Shura way was the way of life he should practice.

——His mental state must have been alienated somewhere. Li Nian confirmed this fact, but he didn't take it seriously. He just took a relaxed attitude of going with the flow, took a long breath, relaxed himself lying on the soft bed, and began to close his eyes to rest.

Half an hour later, Isayama came back with an extremely gloomy face and threw a set of boys' clothes to him.

"I've already helped you get discharged from the hospital. You can go now."

Li Nian took the clothes and looked at her expression, guessing that the incident might not be that simple, but he didn't ask much here, and Isayama didn't say anything to him. He gave him the clothes and told him that he could be discharged from the hospital. He left a sentence "I have something to do, so I'll leave first" and left in a hurry.

It seems that she will be busy this weekend, Li Nian thought indifferently.

Chapter 61: Nanami Aoyama

He changed into the clothes that Isayama bought for him, which was a set of sportswear. He didn't buy the wrong size, it fit him well and the material felt quite good. Li Nian shook his body a few times and found it to be quite fitting and comfortable. He secretly made a note to ask her the price next time he saw her and return it to her in full... By the way, it seemed that she was also the one who handled the discharge procedures, so the hospitalization fees, examination fees and medical expenses had to be included in it.

His own school uniform had been ripped with numerous large and small holes in the battle, and had become tattered and unusable. He had to buy another set. After calculating these three expenses...

"Well, my work these days can be considered as wasted." Li Nian sighed.

It's not easy to make money, but spending money is like water. Li Nian sincerely hopes that Isayama can help him get the exorcist qualification certificate as soon as possible so that he can officially start working in the field. He heard from gossip that the salary of an exorcist is quite good, and he hopes that the income will be satisfactory. He wonders if there will be any guarantee of five social insurances and one housing fund...

There was not much time left before the agreed reporting time, and Li Nian did not plan to go back to Sakurasou. After leaving the hospital, he found a place and ordered a bowl of ramen. He ate both the soup and the noodles cleanly. When he felt full, he immediately got up and went to report to his part-time job.

The place where he was scheduled to work today was a large supermarket in the city center's business district.

Li Nian arrived much earlier than scheduled, which surprised the boss. He thought Li Nian's attitude was okay and not ambiguous, so he turned around and called a waitress over and said to her, "Qi Hai, come here, take care of the new guy and teach him what to do."

Li Nian looked up and saw a girl with a ponytail and a pretty face. She was probably a high school student. She was wearing a shop assistant's uniform and had a big smile on her face. She looked quite approachable.

"I understand, Ms. Sakayanagi." The girl nodded, looked at Li Nian curiously, and greeted her first: "You are the newcomer who is on the afternoon shift today, right? My name is Nanami Aoyama, please take care of me."

"Hello, I'm Li Nian. I need your help here. I've just started this job, and I hope you can point out any immaturity."

After hearing his name, Qingshan was stunned for a moment.

"Qi Hai is here to work for a short period of time just like you." The boss said to Li Nian, "But she is already very familiar with the work. You can ask her anything you don't understand."

"clear."

"Nanahi, I'm counting on you to take care of the newbie."

The boss greeted her, and the girl seemed to have just come to her senses and quickly responded. The boss nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand and left.

Li Nian watched the boss walk away, then looked at Senior Qingshan and found that she was looking at him curiously.

"You just said that your name is... Li Nian?"

Qingshan suddenly asked Li Nian's name again, and read it out with emphasis on the syllables, and his pronunciation was very accurate.

"...Yes." Li Nian thought she felt the pronunciation of the name was strange, so she shrugged and explained, "As you can see, it is the pronunciation of the Chinese characters of a Chinese name."

After hearing this, Qingshan clapped his hands, finally confirming something and exclaimed: "It's indeed the person Kanda mentioned!"

A familiar name suddenly appeared, and Li Nian was also stunned for a moment.

"Kanda?"

"Ah." She felt that her reaction was a bit exaggerated, so she gently covered her mouth and smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, sorry... saying this suddenly will only make people feel troubled, right... Speaking of Kanda, you should know him, right?"

"If you mean Kanda Sorata, then I know him."

"Huh..." She breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest: "Then I didn't make a mistake."

"...You know me?"

"I'm Kanda's classmate." Aoyama said with a smile, "I heard him talk about you, and when I heard your name, I wondered if it was you. I didn't expect it to be true! Indeed, you look exactly like he described!"

So is this person in front of me a friend of Kanda? I've heard him talk about me before? It seems like they're pretty close.

"I see." Li Nian nodded in understanding and asked curiously, "By the way, what did he say about me?"

Qingshan's expression froze when he heard this.

——"Qingshan, let me tell you, Chihiro-sensei's words are like farts. When I went to pick her up, she actually told me that the newcomer looked like a weak bottom. When I arrived, I found out that she was a strong attacker! I have no idea why she concealed this fact!"

How could I possibly say such words in front of him?

"He, he said you are a very good person." Qingshan said vaguely.

"Hmm? Oh, really?"

Li Nian felt that this comment was bland and she didn't feel anything. Qingshan hurriedly added and continued.

"Kanda often talks about you, and he even says that he's really touched and thankful to have another normal person in Sakurasou!"

"...He was so moved by such a small thing that he was grateful? Then I guess when he talked about the abnormal person who appeared in Sakurasou a few days ago, he would probably have a tearful expression on his face?"

"..."

"From your reaction I know I guessed right."

Li Nian knew that Kanda was probably worried about Shiina's matter, and asking a male high school student to take care of the daily life of a girl of the same grade was just making things difficult for others.

So, why not just refuse?

"Kanda seems really distressed. Is it true, as the rumors say, that all the people living in Sakurasou are very strange?" Aoyama seemed very curious about this and continued to ask questions carefully.

"He's a strange person..." Li Nian thought about it and nodded. "That's true."

"Wow……"

Seeing Qingshan's expression that looked like "Are you all living in dire straits?", Li Nian knew that she might have some misunderstanding.

The reputation of Sakurasou in school has always been bad, and people talk about it as if it were a monster's lair... It is true that Kamiigusa's way of thinking is indeed weird, and humanoid self-propelled artillery like Mitaka is rare in the world.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it other than it's strange... The residents are all good people."

"Really?" Qingshan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. He probably had an idea of ​​what Sakurasou was like. He seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Li Nian, it seems that you moved out of the ordinary dormitory and lived in Sakurasou because of financial problems?"

After she asked this, she seemed to feel that this was a bit offensive and hurriedly said another sentence.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I just want to use it as a reference because I heard that the accommodation fee at Sakurasou is very cheap."

It sounded like Aoyama also had the intention of moving into Sakurasou. Li Nian noticed this and explained the charges to her in a little more detail.

"It's really cheap." After listening to this, she had a thoughtful expression, as if she was thinking about something, but suddenly realized that Li Nian was still in front of her and she was in the position of educating a newcomer, so she shook her head suddenly.

"I'll think about it later... Sorry! We've strayed off topic. We need to get back to work. Sorry, Li Nian."

"It's okay, Aoyama-senpai."

"Forget about calling me senior... It's weird to be called that by my classmates. Just call me Qingshan." Qingshan smiled and said, "Come with me. I'll tell you what you should do."

Chapter 62: Dream Chaser

Talking about some of the things that need to be done in the supermarket, it is nothing more than carrying, cleaning, and sitting at the counter. Li Nian understood and confirmed this at the beginning. It was also because of his strong physique that the boss easily let him pass during the interview - the purpose of the supermarket recruiting such short-term temporary workers is just a laborer.

As expected, Qingshan brought Li Nian to the warehouse and asked him to move the goods.

"I'm sorry for asking you to do something dirty and tiring right from the start." Qingshan said apologetically.

"It should."

This was all part of his job. Without saying a word, Li Nian walked forward, squatted down, and pretended to lift up the stack of boxes that were stacked in front of his chest.

"Wait……"

Qingshan hurriedly wanted to stop the call. She remembered the packaging of the box, which contained heavy solid metal products. She wanted to remind Li Nian not to be so stubborn and move so many things at once.

But when Li Nian heard the voice, he had already lifted up the stack of boxes. He looked so relaxed, as if he was just lifting a stack of cardboard boxes rather than heavy cargo. Only then did he look at her blankly.

"say what?"

"...Can you move it?"

Li Nian weighed the thing in his hand and frowned. Qingshan said that it was impossible to move it. He also felt that the thing in his hand was a little too light and lacked a sense of stability, so he smiled and said.

"No problem. I feel like I can put in two more boxes to steady myself."

Qingshan saw his frown and mistakenly thought that Li Nian was having a hard time moving the things, so he quickly spoke.

"I remember these things are really heavy, I'll come and help carry them a little bit."

"Hmm? That's not..."

Li Nian was about to refuse, but Qingshan had already walked to the pile of goods and wanted to lift a stack of boxes like him.

"Um--!"

Unlike Li Nian who looked relaxed, no matter how hard she tried, the stack of boxes didn't move at all. Seeing this, Li Nian was speechless and tried to persuade her.

"…Let me do it. I'm a boy and I'm stronger, so it will be easier for me to carry it."

Qingshan blushed a little. She felt that she was used to doing rough and tiring work and her strength was no less than that of the boys, but she felt that the stack of boxes was really heavy. She really didn't know how this person could lift them up in such a short time.

Indeed, he looked like a strong man with great strength... No, no, Qingshan shook his head, thinking that it must be because he was hungry every day and had no strength.

But words once spoken cannot be taken back, and Qingshan did not want to show her weak side in front of the newcomer, so she shook her head and rejected Li Nian.

"At least one or two boxes is fine by me."

As she said this, she gave up the idea of ​​lifting the entire stack of boxes and instead tried to lift the top two boxes.

This time she managed to move it, barely.

It looks trembling.

Li Nian felt that she was struggling. She knew that her strength was far beyond that of an average person and she could lift heavy objects with ease, but it would definitely be much heavier for a girl. Seeing this, she became worried.

"Don't force yourself..."

"I can do it."

Qingshan insisted on doing what she wanted. She had already started to breathe heavily. Indeed, she had not eaten anything since this morning. Now, just moving something heavy made her feel obviously exhausted.

——I have to move over quickly, she thought to herself, and was about to take a step. Li Nian glanced at her feet and immediately reminded her loudly: "Pay attention!"

“Ah… huh?!”

Before Qingshan realized what Li Nian was talking about, she was tripped by the goods. She immediately lost her balance, fell forward, and dropped the goods in her hands.
