I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

Seeing that her Italian jokes didn't make them laugh, Touka felt a bit defeated. She felt like she had been abroad for so long that she was a bit uncomfortable returning home...

"This is the daughter of the store manager where I'm interning now. Her name is Cento. She loves Japanese costume dramas so much that she keeps pestering me to bring her back to play."

"Ah... That's why you haven't contacted us..."

"No, we just got back yesterday..."

After hearing what Touka said, Rikka, who had been brainstorming, finally came out of her endless thoughts. Obviously, as a younger sister, she actually believed Touka's joke...

"I say...it's fine if we believe it, but why do you believe it too?"

When Yuta saw Rikka's expression, he immediately realized that she had actually believed it. He felt speechless. After all, she was his biological sister, so how could she believe it?

Rikka blushed immediately, and glared at Yuta fiercely while Touka looked at her in confusion.

"Stop talking!"

"Good good..."

With Touka's comfort, Chen Duo finally relaxed, loosened the arms that were tightly around Touka, and ran to Ikeuchi Maki with her short legs, stopped, raised her head, and looked at her with shining eyes.

Maki Ikeuchi looked at Chen Duo in front of her and handed the wooden sword in her hand back to her. She thought Chen Duo came to ask for her small wooden sword.

But after getting the wooden sword back, Chen Duo still refused to leave and continued to stare at Ikeuchi Maki with shining eyes.

"Samurai! Are you a samurai?"

"warrior?"

Maki Ikeuchi followed Chen Duo's gaze and found that she was staring at her demonic right wrist with excitement on her face. It was obvious that she liked this arm very much.

This pure admiration and worship without any other emotions made Maki Ikeuchi very happy and made her feel a little proud in her heart.

"That's right! I'm a samurai! And a powerful demon swordsman!"

"Oh! Demon Swordsman!"

I try to act cool and act awesome in front of kids, but that's just my personality and the ambitions I have.

Fang Wuwei felt it was a little funny when he saw Ikeuchi Maki picking up Chen Duo and fiddling with his devilish right wrist in front of her with a very proud look on his face, as well as Chen Duo's increasingly admiring eyes.

Of course, not a mockery.

Zhangye was busy for the whole afternoon and finally had some time to rest after preparing the ingredients. He let out a long sigh and looked very tired.

It was a hot day, and she was at the seaside, so the temperature was already high... not to mention that she had been frying food at the stove for the entire afternoon. Even though there was a fan, she was still very hot.

Although this was Zhangye's first time working outside and cooking for people, she felt she was quite adept at it. Moreover, the things she made were well received, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. This feeling... wasn't bad.

There will be a summer festival some time later...

Zhangye's special fried noodles were sold out, and the number of customers in the store became more and more stable. Most customers only came to buy shaved ice and drinks, and there was no need for Zhangye to stand in front of the stove to cook. Nibutani also took into consideration that Zhangye was still young and the work was too tiring, so he took over the work at the stove and let Zhangye go to the side to rest.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The sun gradually became less scorching, and as time passed, there were fewer and fewer people on the beach. The shop began to become leisurely. Zhang Ye sat on a stool in front of the counter, leaning on the table to enjoy the fan and cooling off. A bottle of iced drink was placed next to her, and Fang Wuwei's big hand fell on her head and rubbed her messy and sticky hair.

"How does it feel to be on the job for the first time?"

"Hmm... not bad, maybe I like this feeling..."

The work in the lobby was also taken over by Liuhua and the others who had finally become serious. Fang Wuwei had nothing to do, so he sat down with Zhangye.

Zhang Ye climbed up from the table, smoothed her messy hair, picked up the iced drink that Fang Wuwei had placed on the table, held it in her palm, felt the coolness in it, and cooled herself down.

"We will be open for another day tomorrow, so keep working hard."

Zhang Ye took a sip of the drink, but before she could answer properly, Fang Wuwei rubbed her face.

"It's so spicy..."

Although he was obviously uncomfortable being rubbed, Zhang Ye did not rush to break free until Fang Wuwei took his hand away himself.

Zhangye really likes the feeling of being a chef, but it is true that after finally coming to the beach, he was busy all day and didn't have much fun, especially since Fang Wuwei was also there...

After all, she is a girl and she also wants to have fun here.

Fang Wuwei didn't sit there for long before he was called back to help by Dan Shengtani. Only Zhang Ye was left there to rest. However, he felt a little embarrassed seeing everyone working while he was the only one sitting there leisurely playing games. But when he wanted to continue helping, Fang Wuwei and Yuta pushed him back.

Zhangye has the heaviest workload all day long, but he is also the youngest, so he must take a good rest.

The work in the shop came to an end only when the sun set and dusk covered the earth. After everyone got off work, there was no one on the beach and no one was swimming in the sea... For safety reasons, Yuta and the others decided not to go into the sea. After all, the lifeguards at the beach had already gone off work, and according to regulations, now was not the time to go into the sea.

But since we finally made it to the beach, we have to have some fun. Tomorrow the business will start again. Nibutani and senior sister Anise are discussing whether to shorten the business hours tomorrow so that everyone can have a good time. Rikka, Touma, and Nanamiya are already playing on the beach, and Ikeuchi Maki has also returned with Chenduo.

People with chuunibyou have a unique ability to play well with children, and Ikeuchi Maki is no exception. And because Ikeuchi Maki is really capable, Chen Duo has become a little attached to her.

A group of people stood on the beach, watching Rikka and the others playing not far away, and took a rest.

I have a sense of accomplishment in opening a business.

Chen Duo was playing with a sword on the beach, swinging and slashing in a methodical manner. It looked like she was really doing it, but a closer look revealed that she was just playing around and had no effect. Ikeuchi Maki was watching from the side, and as a real swordsman, she did not bother to correct Chen Duo's sword posture, but instead praised her endlessly.

Ikeuchi Maki would not be a spoiler. Chen Duo was just a little kid who was interested in this aspect. She would never correct her from a professional perspective. She could just play with her.

It is this character of Ikeuchi Maki that makes Chen Duo get along well with her. Juhua watched Maki from the side and felt that this person...is not bad.

She and Maki had only met once or twice, and she knew nothing about her. She only knew that she was Fang Wuwei's so-called disciple, and that she was very good at swordsmanship and had high combat power. Now it seemed that she had a good personality as well... although she was a fool.
