It's just a grocery store.

Chapter 9 Two People's Thoughts

Seeing that Yukimura didn't go, Lingshi sneaked over, took out drinks and snacks from the bag and stuffed them into Yukimura's pockets.

Niou: "Wow, the treatment of the Minister is too good."

Marui also noticed this and shook his partner Jackal, indicating that he wanted the same treatment.

The Jackal was sweating profusely. He didn't buy the things, so how could he just go and take them without queuing up? Otherwise, he would be punished by the Deputy Minister.

Yukimura was also surprised. He never thought that he would be treated like this by others outside his family.

Yukimura: "Thank you, Toki-nii, but I'll get it myself."

Ling Shi: "What's the big deal? I bought it because of you. If there's nothing you like here, we'll go pick some later."

At midnight, he acted like a gangster, saying, "I'm rich, hang out with me, I'll protect you."

Matsuda and Hagiwara said that they were really on the edge of the law, Brother Zero.

Yukimura rubbed the things in his hand with his fingers, did not reply, lowered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Because of this incident, the tennis club simply ended their training today, causing everyone to become restless. After the three of them discussed it, Sanada stepped forward and announced the disbanding of the group. Upon receiving the order, everyone immediately fled.

At midnight, he walked to Yukimura's side.

"Shall we go back now, Little Elf City?"

Yukimura: "It's already disbanded, so of course I'm going back."

Lingshi whistled, as if he hadn't caused this situation. Yukimura suddenly spoke:

"Brother Shi, I seem to have forgotten to take something, you go back first."

Zero Hour: "What is it? Can't I get it tomorrow?"

Yukimura: "My homework."

Midnight: ...

Reitoki never thought that Yukimura would actually forget to take his homework. After all, he had never thought of such a situation in his knowledge of him.

Yukimura looked at Lingshi with an ambiguous look in his eyes. He smiled, said "I'll be back later" and turned to leave.

Lingshi watched him walk away until he was out of sight.

System: Host...

Lingshi: It’s okay, I was reckless.

I had never expected to have an intersection with Yukimura. At first, I thought it was just the world of Detective Conan. It was not until the day I saw Nioh at midnight that I realized the complexity of this world.

The system materialized and came out of his pocket. Zero stroked it again and again, as if to soothe his thoughts.

The shielding glasses he wore at the time were to prevent others from noticing that the omnipotent grocery store on the Internet was Lingshi himself.

But after seeing Yukimura, she took it off herself. She always felt that no matter what, she still wanted to see him in his true form.

System: You clearly said that hiding your face in front of Yukimura would cause the deal to fail.

Zero Hour: Well, that’s indeed the reason.

System: Host!

Lingshi: Okay, okay, I admit it, I am just selfish.

System: Host, what are you going to do next?

Zero Hour: What else can I do? Move.

System: Huh!?

The system had never thought of this possibility. After all, its host initially rejected the grocery store's shielding function in order to be an ordinary grocery store owner and get along with his neighbors.

The system didn't understand, but Zero Time just said:

"Playing the game of destiny is too old-fashioned. If you want to play it, of course you have to have a dual identity!"

System: This routine is obviously very old-fashioned.

Zero Hour: Don’t worry about it.

In an instant, Lingshi finalized the moving arrangements with the system, but not immediately, but after completing Yukimura's commission.

Midnight: One misstep can lead to eternal regret.

System: It’s because you are attracted by her beauty.

Lingshi pulled the weasel's tail hard, causing the system to scream and jump up. Lingshi ignored the protests behind him and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

When Yukimura came back, dinner was already on the table. Lingshi didn't even raise his head, but just asked the system to open the door for him.

System: Don’t be too…

The system still ran to the door obediently, jumped onto the door handle with its back foot and pulled it down, and the door slowly opened inwards.

Yukimura didn't see the person behind the door. Only when he walked in did he see the weasel hanging on the door handle. The man and the object looked at each other.

Yukimura: "You opened the door for me?"

Yukimura reached out and took the weasel, then closed the door and went in. He set the table for them and invited them to eat.

Midnight: "Hurry up and wash your hands before eating. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Yukimura responded, put the weasel down and went to the bathroom. The system quickly ran to Zero Time's side, and Zero Time installed it and put it next to him.

The system picked up the fried pork chop and started to eat it, getting it all over its body. At midnight, it thought to itself that it would be washed in a basin at night.

Yukimura saw this scene when he came out. Zero-shi was poking the weasel's head. The weasel was gnawing on the meat and even used one of its claws to stop Zero-shi from disturbing it while eating.

Yukimura: ...childish person.

During dinner, as if nothing had happened, Reitoki asked Yukimura how he felt after returning to school today and whether he felt unwell.

Worried like a new father, Yukimura nodded, then shook his head and swallowed the food in his mouth before answering Zero's question.

When washing the dishes, Lingshi asked Yukimura to take out the lunch box and wash it together, only to find that Yukimura had already washed it.

System: You are a good child, host.

Ling Shi: He is indeed, that’s why he is so polite in front of me.

Reitoki simply took it and thanked Yukimura exaggeratedly, but before he could continue, Yukimura offered to help wash the dishes.

Yukimura: "I'm living and eating at Toki's house, so I'd feel bad if you didn't let me help with the housework."

Lingshi couldn't convince him, so one more person came into the kitchen to wash the dishes, and the two of them chatted idly.

Yukimura: "Toki, is the store usually busy?"

Midnight: "Not busy, not many customers."

Yukimura: "Then why did you let me become a clerk?"

Yukimura still raised this question, as if to break the atmosphere that he had just deliberately maintained, but Reiji answered it nonchalantly.

Lingshi: "Attract customers. Xiaojingshi is so handsome and famous. If you are here, there will definitely be a lot of people coming here!"

There was no flaw in Reitoki's words, so perhaps he really meant it. Yukimura was stunned after hearing this, and then revealed a helpless expression.

Yukimura: "Are you planning on me?"

Zero Hour: "What else?"

Lingshi looked so confident that Yukimura couldn't ask any more questions. He just shook his head and remembered what he said for the time being.

System: Host, you are so smart. This will definitely attract customers!

Zero Hour: ...What are you talking about? I'm just fooling him, what do you believe?

System: Eh, huh?

Midnight: We just talked about moving, have you forgotten?

System: Yes...

The system was a little reluctant. After all, it was really tempted by the proposal just now, so it woke up at midnight.

Midnight: Don’t lose the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds. When the time comes, we can get as many deals as we want, and others will bring them to our doorstep.

The system doesn’t understand, but it’s right to listen to the host.

After taking a shower, he sent Yukimura back to his room to study and went out to get some fresh air.

I didn’t know where to go at midnight, so I just wandered around, feeling the cold wind for a long time, and finally returned to my original intention.

This is just a small episode. We still have to move forward with the plan and finally move on to the next step.

At zero o'clock, he clenched his fists, his eyes became much more determined, then he returned to his original nonchalant look, turned around and went home to sleep the same way he had just come.

Yukimura lay in bed, thinking about the words he had not just asked, and found it difficult to sleep.

Since you have the ability to cure me, why would you be confined to a small grocery store, not to mention needing me to attract customers for you?

Yukimura tossed and turned in bed, finally giving up thinking and falling asleep. While Lingshi had a dreamless sleep, Yukimura didn't sleep well at all.
