[comprehensive] with you

on the street? "

Hearing this sentence, Yiqi, who was still a little distracted, suddenly became excited, and looked up instinctively.

Suddenly, their eyes meet.

At the same time, during these words, Zong Shi kept looking at his [future] with focused and burning eyes.

In this way, maintaining the entanglement of eyes, the chief officer continued to finish speaking as if nothing had happened——

"...with my [future]."

——[Asset] is the embodiment of a certain [future] of [entrepreneur] himself.

Although the other party didn't say it clearly, Yiqi knew it in an instant: it was the declaration of the chief soldier.

It is an agreement between the other party and oneself.

The author has something to say: Moonfall and Wutiao is a grenade

Scar and Yaosha are each a mine

☆、44-The importance of reputation

【44——The Importance of Reputation】

Although it was said that it was for spreading the word and popularizing science, both myself and Yiqi left recordings...

Even so, in fact, the chief officer is not sure how much effect he can have by doing this.

However, you can't stop doing such a thing because you don't know how much it can do, right?

To work hard for hopeful things, then, the persistence and fighting of myself and Yiqi will be meaningful because of this, right?

...At the very least, when he saw the expressions of the Commander, Yuan Jian, and Kanon showing relief because of Yi Qi's message, the chief officer knew that his decision was still appropriate.

However, during the period, there was still a small episode.

Before he was about to leave the Alvis conference room, the chief officer suddenly remembered that he almost missed something, so he stopped and turned to call Shi Yan: "By the way, Commander."

"Huh?" Shi Yanxun raised his head and looked over.

The chief asked Shi Yan: "Do you still remember that sentence you told me in private before? The sentence Yiqi told you."

"Ah, he lost your mood, just like I lost Hongyin's mood?" It seems that Shi Yan still remembers it quite clearly.

The chief nodded, "Yes."

Shi Yan asked confusedly: "What's wrong with that sentence?"

The chief officer slowly pushed down his glasses, and suddenly said: "He heard it."

"Eh?" Shi Yan was stunned in surprise.

Putting down the hand that pushed the glasses, the chief said again with a righteous face: "At that time, Yiqi was there, but you couldn't see it, Commander."

Shi Yan's body froze completely.

"Yiqi asked me to convey something to you." The chief officer who had turned a blind eye cleared his throat, and then his expression changed, trying to imitate Yiqi's tone of embarrassment and stern expression at that time as much as possible—"Father, you traitor!"

At this time, Shi Yan had already deeply supported his forehead with both hands, and looked silent, seemingly decisively determined to play dead to the end.

Seeing his boss pose in such a deep sitting posture, taking advantage of his boss not noticing him, the chief officer did not change his face and instinctively moved a pair of scissors hands in a certain direction.

He knows: Yiqi will know, this is for him to see.

As a result, after witnessing the entire ride in the parallel space, he immediately responded with a chuckle.

*****************

anyway.

Based on Longgong Island's working principle of information disclosure, Yiqi's recording from a different space, as well as the popular science recording of the chief officer, were quickly spread on the island.

But that's fine too.

After all, according to the information brought by the Chief Scholar—the mysterious space that calls itself [Financial Street], it is estimated that it will start to absorb new participants in the near future——we can prepare some science popularization in advance, and then it will really be brought into it suddenly. In that space, it is not necessary to be at a loss for a while with black eyes.

However, it is miraculous.

Although Masakaki had already said hello before, "It's okay if you don't keep it secret, but I don't think many people will believe it. I suggest that it would be better for you to keep silent", but when it comes to talking about this, always The scholar was surprised to find that there are quite a lot of people who seem to believe what he said.

In contrast, the reactions of other high-level officials in the survival circle gave the chief officer a lot of normal feeling—after listening to the chief officer’s recording, they all showed disbelief, and the commander directly suggested to the chief officer: Anyway, soon When it comes to the new year, you should rest for a week or two so as not to exhaust yourself.

So, when he returned to Dragon Palace Island while on vacation, he was actually deeply surprised to see that everyone on the island showed such a high degree of acceptance.

--What has actually happened?

***************

"Senior Zongshi's [future] turns out to be Senior Yiqi." Hui, who was looking at the store alone in [Paradise], sighed casually—because the temperature on the island is still quite cold in December, so [Paradise] is not at meal time. During the time period, I was so leisurely, "Why do I feel like I've been exposed to the glow of affection on my face?"

Xi Weihui, one of the pilots of the second phase of the Excalibur-type Favna, a descendant of Zongshi and Yiqi, had directly participated in the second and third sky battles.Due to some boyish reasons, he always aims at Yiqi, and his current second job is to work as a chef and waiter in a coffee shop [Paradise].

Hearing Hui's words almost to himself, the chief who was originally sipping hot coffee leisurely put down his cup.After selectively ignoring the second half of Hui's sentence, he finally asked his doubts: "Do you not doubt what I said?"

Probably because he thought it was too strange for the question to be raised by the Chief Scholar, Hui with a puzzled face just yelled and answered, "Because it was the information provided by you personally, Senior Chief Scholar."

——It turned out to be the reason...

The chief officer's eyes widened slightly, apparently frozen in place because of unexpected surprises.

Seemingly unaware of Zong Shi's insignificant stupefaction, Hui continued to finish his opinion: "Besides, I have even seen a high-dimensional cosmic life like Festum, and suddenly said that there are other magical existences on the earth... …It feels like accepting it, it’s not a difficult thing, is it?”

For a moment, there was silence in the store where there were only two people.

"Everyone else has this attitude of yours?" The chief officer subtly broke the silence.

"It's almost... right?" Hui's tone was actually not very sure as he thought about turning his eyes away.

"I didn't expect the CDC to become so lax now. Is it really okay?" the serious chief said to himself.

——At the beginning, I would have cautiously doubted the information that I borrowed the main body to convey... Now I have accepted it so quickly...

[Boss, you... Sometimes I really don’t know whether to say you are strict or clumsy. ]

Yiqi's voice was full of smiles and helplessness, and it was immediately transmitted to the chief officer's ears from the parallel space.

The chief silently followed the sound and glanced at the past, without changing his face, his eyes were upright.

***************

"This is the importance of reputation, Mr. Chief."

After returning to [Financial Street], after listening to the chief officer's brief introduction, the stall owner explained the reasons very simply.

"How do you say?" The chief officer asked calmly and shamelessly.

Yiqi next to him also looked like a curious baby who was listening attentively.

"Sometimes whether you believe something or not depends on who says it and does it." The stall owner sat on the seat next to him, apparently wanting to talk about this issue to the chief officer and Yiqi, "Reputable people mean that the things they participate in are generally guaranteed. In other words, if such people take the lead, they will do things relatively smoothly."

The chief officer nodded to show that he understood the meaning: "This is not difficult to understand."

Apparently talking about addicts, the stall owner continued: "A little bit of extension - when an organization has enough [credibility] in society, then the things issued by this organization will generally be recognized by the vast majority of people in the current society. Admit it. In this way, this issue can become a [general equivalent] in the current society and circulate in the market as a standard of value for judging various commodities.”

Listening to the stall owner's eloquent talk, the general manager said to himself: "Is this the history and significance of [currency]...?"

Looking at the serious and thoughtful chief scholar, the stall owner suddenly grinned and sighed: "You really deserve to be the chief scholar."

The chief officer was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly and asked suspiciously: "Why did you say that suddenly?"

As a result, as soon as the voice over there fell, Yiqi first turned his face away and gave a puff, and smiled.

On the other hand, perhaps it was because the Chief Scholar raised this question really honestly, which made the stall owner's eyes widen suddenly, and he couldn't help laughing a few times.

"Sometimes I really feel that you are so cute...haven't you noticed yet?" Trying to recover from the laughter, the stall owner praised, "This time just proved the importance of reputation , and Mr. Chief, your reputation is very good."

"I'm just puzzled." Regarding the stall owner's compliment, the boss just explained honestly, "Obviously Masakagi said [most people wouldn't believe it] before, so the current development is somewhat beyond my expectations. "

Now, it's the stall owner's turn to think about it—"This is probably the result of doing practical things down-to-earth, right?"

almost the same time.

"Yeah, yay, it's really nerve-wracking, Mr. Minjo."

Condescending in that mysterious space, Masakagi, who was secretly watching the subtle changes that other people could not detect, was talking to himself quickly amidst a few slow applause while grinning.

“It’s been a long time since [Financial Street] has been so lively. It’s really touching.”

The author has something to say: Thank you Luxian for mine~(≧▽≦)/~! ! ! !

☆, 45-Almost Forgotten Festival

【45——Almost Forgotten Festival】

anyway.

Although in the survival circle, the chief officer was on vacation, but after returning to Dragon Palace Island, the chief officer almost immediately took over his post in Alvis.

As for, why do you say "almost"?

That's because, before going to really get started with the past affairs, the current chief officer is still too lazy to rest in the [paradise] for a while.

This kind of relaxed and lazy style is obviously not the usual style of the boss.

In fact, it was because Yiqi wanted to stay in [Paradise] for a while longer.

That's right, because Yiqi likes it.

And just when Zong Shi thought it was time to go back to Alvis, the store door of [Paradise] was pushed open.

"Ah, it really is here."

Maya's brisk voice came from the door.

When Zong Shi followed the sound and looked back, Maya had almost walked to Zong Shi's side.

after that……

"Yuanjian, you also made a recording?" Seeing that Maya actually handed him a recording disk, the boss couldn't react for a while.

Maya nodded solemnly.

"Because there are some things, I can only tell Mr. Yiqi alone." As soon as she finished this explanation, as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly and solemnly told the chief: "Hey, Mr. Jiecheng, absolutely—yes Don't eavesdrop!"

——Could it be a confession to Yiqi?

When receiving the data disk that Maya gave him, the chief seldom thought about it a little bit in his heart.

************

After arriving at [Financial Street], the chief executive took out the tape recorder that had already been loaded with the data disk and was ready to play, and asked Yiqi in a seemingly calm tone: "I guess you heard all the details at that time. Do you want to Do you listen to yourself?"

"Let's listen together...is it alright?" Yiqi said this uncertainly, because as far as he is concerned, there is really nothing to do, and he needs to hide it from the chief.

who knows--

[Hey, Ikki-kun, isn’t Miyajo-kun really listening nearby? ]

In the first sentence of the recording, Zongshi and Yiqi shrank their shoulders at the same time, as if they had been caught.

[Yiqi-kun, believe me, you won't let Miyajo-kun know the content of this recording so quickly. ]

With a click, the pause button was pressed.

"Chief?" Yiqi looked puzzled at the chief who pressed the pause button.

"It is estimated that Yuanjian really has something important, so I can only tell you?" The chief officer put the recorder directly on Yiqi's palm, and his tone seemed to be usually indifferent, "You just follow her suggestion. gone."

——But your expression doesn't look like what you said, sir.

It was easy to see the little depression hidden in the other party's expression, and Yiqi holding the tape recorder could only smile helplessly.

However, since it is the foresight's repeated warning...

Yiqi had no choice but to drift away a little distance by himself.

Turning the volume down to the lowest level, Yiqi frowned and looked back at the chief who was some distance away from him, and then put the tape recorder to his ear to play.

[It is estimated that the current Minjo-kun will be a little awkward because of my insistence just now... However, because of that matter, I can only temporarily apologize to Minjo-kun. ] Maya’s voice is still lively and sweet, and it is being broadcast by the machine with a smile at this moment, [Hey, Ikki-kun, please help me explain the situation to Miyagi-kun later and apologize. ]

"Since you have expected this in the farsightedness, why on earth..."

Hearing these words, Yiqi couldn't understand even more, so he could only mutter and complain a little, and then continue listening.

The voice in the machine paused for a few seconds, and then pointedly said: [Yiqijun, it’s almost December 27th. ]

"Ah... ah!" The stunned time lasted less than half a second, and Yiqi, who opened his eyes wide suddenly, immediately understood and was grateful for his friend's considerate and thoughtful intentions.

****************

After completing this week's voluntary [transaction], Zongshi and Yiqi came to the stall owner as usual.

When he came to the stall owner's stall, Yiqi, who was curious about the excitement along the way, asked the other party directly: "Why is everyone on this street preparing for what day to welcome?"

Hearing Yiqi's question, the stall owner was surprised, "So people in the real world don't remember?"

The chief officer calmly reminded the other party: "After all, the war has been going on for almost 50 years in the real world."

"Ah, it's true, I really forgot that there was a time difference between here and the real world...haha." The stall owner who realized it later raised his hand and scratched his head embarrassedly, and then replied Yiqi just now. The question, "Tomorrow is Christmas."

"Christmas?"

Hearing this unfamiliar term, the two young men blinked in a daze at the same time.

Let’s not talk about the ride, seeing the bewildered expression of the always prudent chief officer, the stall owner continued to introduce in a good mood: “This is a festival in Western countries. Later, with the integration of the global economy, this festival gradually became popular. All over the world, until the battle with Festum begins."

"I see."

Since they had little contact with this aspect of history before, these two young men who were born in wartime listened very seriously.

The stall owner smiled, with a hint of nostalgia for the past daily life in his tone: "Although for believers, that day is as important as the New Year, but for us, that day is just to celebrate the birth of Jesus. days."

"Birth..." He murmured and repeated the word, and Yiqi was shocked as if he suddenly remembered something.

Not hearing Yiqi's murmur, the stall owner shrugged casually, "Of course, although it is called [Christmas], in fact, the religious significance of this festival should have been left to this day. The reason why this festival still exists Celebrating this festival is mainly because this festival is more of a commercial atmosphere, and yes, I want to take the opportunity to relax a little bit and play around."

At this time, not only was Yiqi's distracted thoughts pulled back, but the chief officer also asked: "What do you mean?"

The stall owner grinned with excitement, and announced with great interest: "Business opportunity, business opportunity!"

**************

In a stable environment, the existence of festivals can boost popularity and stimulate consumption.

That is, bring business opportunities.

***************

Although with the birth of the new [Financial Street] and the subsequent reorganization of personnel, the number of people in this area has decreased a lot, but this does not seem to affect the atmosphere of this festival at all.

While walking with the Chief, seeing the people around seem to be busy with enthusiasm, while feeling the warm atmosphere during the festival preparations, Yiqi suddenly called out: "Hey, Chief."

"Huh?" The chief officer looked up at Yiqi who was floating beside him, but he didn't expect the other party to have shining eyes.

With a bright smile on his face, Yiqi cheerfully suggested to the chief: "Tomorrow, go on a date with me!"

The author has something to say: Moonfall and Wutiao is a grenade

luxian is a mine

——Thank you to the above two friends~(≧▽≦)/~! ! !

By the way, since this article was written in the first issue of EXODUS, it can be regarded as a divergence from the first issue

Therefore, the plot developed here is very likely to be seriously inconsistent with the second phase of EXODUS

Therefore, please also clarify this point, my friends.

Finally, the customary: ask for collection, please leave a message and ask for Overlord tickets, friends! ! ! !

PS: EXODUS-14 makes me feel a stomach ache...

☆、46-Happy holidays, happy dating

【46——Happy Holidays, Happy Dates】

"Tomorrow, go on a date with me!"

I don't know if it was because what Yiqi said was too unexpected, or because Yiqi's expression was too bright when he said that sentence, anyway, the boss was stunned on the spot when he heard it.

It wasn't until about two or five seconds past that the boss could barely react.However, his instinctive reaction was prior to his rationality, and he had already uttered a modal particle for the chief officer: "...huh?"

**************

Although the northern hemisphere in the real world has already entered winter, on the [Financial Street], which is basically not affected by geographical factors, even in December, the temperature in that place is only slightly lower.

Overall, not much has changed, and the feeling is still pleasant.

**************

Speaking of...

Ever since he became [Asset], Yiqi not only has his hands and feet covered with leather covers, but also the clothing on his body seems to be formed by himself.Even if it is usually stained, it will automatically return to a clean state after a while, which is very convenient.

Although it won't be dirty, it can't be replaced, just like a part of the body.

In order to match Yiqi's appearance style, Zongshi just brought Yiqi a long-swing coat of the same style and a hat with a brim with a relatively large hood.

Put the big hat chosen by the chief officer on his head, so that it just covered Yiqi's own pair of horns.

Since there was no mirror, Kazuki could only pinch the brim of his hat based on feeling, frowning and pursing his lips, trying to tidy up.

Although I felt that this scene had an indescribably cute feeling, but when I saw Yiqi carefully arranging his appearance, the Chief Sergeant stretched out his hand, helped to straighten the hat carefully, and then straightened Yiqi's body hair.

Putting down his hands and obediently letting the other party fiddle with it, he took the time to look at the simple turtleneck sweater and leather jacket that the other party was wearing, and it was rare for Yiqi, who was dressed in convenience clothes, to be in a good mood and smiled: "It is indeed the Fashion Leader that everyone recognizes. "

After the tidying up, the boss stepped back a little distance to see the effect, but he didn't expect to hear Yiqi's joke at this time...

"Hello..."

Although he had heard of his nickname a long time ago, but now he heard it with his own ears, and it was said by Yiqi himself... Zong Shi still couldn't hold his expression for a while, and his expression was a little stiff with a blushing face.

It is rare to have the opportunity to see such a cramped chief soldier, and Yiqi, who was in a good mood, smiled even brighter. Afterwards, he happily raised his voice and said, "Let's go!"

Today, Christmas.

It was the day Zongshi and Yiqi agreed to date on [Financial Street].

"What's the matter?" The chief officer asked with concern when he noticed something strange about the other party just after walking a few steps.

Yiqi habitually smiled back at the chief officer, but there was a bit of reluctance in the smile, "I haven't walked down-to-earth for a long time, and for a while, I feel a little... not used to it?"

As soon as Yiqi's voice fell, the chief over there stretched out his hand.

"Eh?" Looking at the palms of the chief officer reaching out to his eyes, he tilted his head, puzzled for a while.

"I'm holding you."

The moment he understood Zongshi's words, Yiqi's smile regained his spirit, and there was even a little surprise in his eyes.

Then he put his hand in the other's palm.

****************

Because it is a festival, the atmosphere on the street is lively.

Only when there is supply and demand can a market be formed.When the relationship between supply and demand is balanced, the market will show a benign harmony.

"Yiqi, do you have something to buy?"

Seeing Yiqi hanging around various stalls, looking around from time to time as if looking for something, so the chief officer asked this casually.

Yiqi, who was still looking around, seemed to be frightened by this question. After a little excitement, he replied: "Just take a look."

Keeping Yiqi's little panic under his eyes, the chief officer inexplicably tilted his head slightly, but he didn't point it out.

But having said that, looking at the curious look of Yiqi intently looking left and right at the booth, the easy-going and relaxed daily feeling made the chief who had been watching beside him couldn't help smiling quietly.

And the later facts proved that even if he is not keen on dressing up, Zhufu really has amazing spending power.

"I bought too much before I knew it..." Looking at the kitchen utensils held in his arms, Yiqi drooped his eyebrows and said in distress.

The chief officer suggested: "Let's deposit it with the stall owner first." I guess he wouldn't mind... right?

*************

To be able to see someone who can save the scene at this time, the busy stall owner said that he almost cried with joy, "Yiqijun! Zongshijun! Come and help me! I'm too busy!"

Who knew that after setting up those "trophies", Yiqi folded his hands together and said with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, stall owner, I'm going on a date with the chief today, so neither of us can help you." oh."

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Yiqi, who has always been kind and gentle, rejected him. The stall owner's eyes widened in disbelief and he stopped his movements. You are so desperate to save...how about human nature!?"

...Then he was called back by the newcomer who ordered additional dishes.

**************

After walking through the market, Zongshi and Yiqi accidentally wandered into the gambling area of ​​[Financial Street].

"Everyone seems to be very enthusiastic..." Yiqi directly expressed his surprise at the fanaticism of those gamblers.

"Studies have shown that the brain has a risk assessment area and an interest assessment area..." He talked for a long time about the relationship between the human brain and gambling. Understand?"

Yiqi replied straightforwardly and confidently: "I don't understand at all."

--All right.

The Chief Sergeant, who had expected this for a long time, just let out a small sigh.

Speaking of which, the gamble on [Financial Street] is quite simple.

In the posting of daily transactions in [Financial Street], generally when the card of the payer is on the top and the card of the payee is on the bottom, the funds will flow by themselves.

So, when this rule is used in this gamble, it becomes: After deciding how much money to invest, insert the Mediska into the camouflage window, and then randomly determine where the exit is—to be precise, it is Which person appears above, or below.

Since the probability of this docking depends on [Financial Street] itself, it has nothing to do with [entrepreneurs] investment scale.

Therefore, from the player's point of view, this is an equal opportunity, and it can be said that it is a heartbeat that relies entirely on luck.

——That’s true, a simple and crude way to play.

"Would you like to try it?" Saying this, the Chief Scholar, who had already understood the game, handed out his card to Yi Qi.

Although he took the Mediscard handed over by the chief officer naturally, but holding one side of the card, Yiqi looked a bit embarrassed, "Boss, I can't use your card."

You must know that Mediska itself has an inexplicable master identification mechanism.

[Entrepreneur] cannot use other people's Medis cards, so [Entrepreneur] does not need to worry about losing the card.

But on the other hand, the [entrepreneur]'s own Mediska cannot be used by others, even if it is his own [asset].

"Then, how about this?" Saying that, the Chief Sergeant's hand turned over, and while wrapping the back of Yiqi's hand, he also pinched one side of Ka.

Then, the chief officer took Yiqi's hand and stretched into the camouflage space together.

Small wormholes in the window frames connect randomly.

But in the blink of an eye, the connection is complete.

Although as an [asset], I was the first to perceive the change in the amount, but even if the card was withdrawn, Yiqi seemed to have no real sense of the status quo.

So, he hesitated and asked a little: "Win?"

The chief sergeant nodded calmly, "Well, I won."

Yiqi still looked like he was out of the situation, and sighed: "It feels really unreal..."

The chief sergeant is always calm, "It's fine to try something new."

Hearing what Zongshi said, Yiqi nodded vigorously in deep agreement, "It's true!"

After all, under the envious eyes of everyone, the [entrepreneur] and [asset] who had just won money drifted away gracefully.

***************

At the end of the date, Zongshi and Yiqi came to the highest platform in [Financial Street].

The wind here feels soft and soft, making people drowsy easily.

Gives a very secure feeling.

"I had a lot of fun today." In the light wind, Yiqi looked out and said softly, as if sighing.

"Hmm." Standing side by side with Yiqi, the chief officer also looked at the lower landscape, with a smile similar to Yiqi's on his face.

"It seems..." Looking at the street scene in the distance, Yiqi said in a daze, "Even if you want to stay here forever, it seems... feels good?"

The chief officer was horrified when he heard the words, and looked over suddenly, "Yiqi!"

Turning a deaf ear to Zongshi's sudden flustered tone, Yiqi never changed his face, but finished his words in a leisurely manner: "However, this cannot be done."

--for the future].

Convinced that the tranquility in Yiqi's expression was not an illusion, the chief officer secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"By the way, there is something I almost forgot to say." Turning his head to look at the person beside him, Yiqi smiled gently, "Boss, happy holidays."

"Ah, happy holidays, Yiqi."

The author has something to say: Thank you for a landmine in the trace~(≧▽≦)/~! ! ! !

This chapter... I have tried my best, although it seems that I can't fix it at all... OTL

I hope everyone will not dislike this bowl of sugar water that is too weak... QuQ

☆, 47-The eve of the birthday is very peaceful

【47—The eve of the birthday is very peaceful】

The day after our Christmas date.

That is, December 26.

"What are you worrying about, Mr. Yiqi?"

The stall owner suddenly raised such a question.

"Eh!?" Yiqi, who was looking at the pot, shrank his shoulders when he heard the words. After that, he immediately looked at the chief officer who was sitting quietly reading the materials behind him. Seeing that the other party did not hear the movement here, he Immediately, he panicked and lowered his voice and asked back, "Is my appearance obvious?"

The stall owner nodded solemnly.

Having received such a decisive and powerful affirmation, Yiqi sighed greatly, and the tone of the reply sounded a little low: "I'm thinking of giving you some kind of gift."

"Gift?" Although he got the answer, the stall owner felt even more puzzled, "Isn't Christmas already over... Why are you still thinking about gifts, Mr. Yiqi? Wait, it won't be so soon. Let's start thinking about New Year's!?"

Didn't these two guys have a great time dating yesterday?Not only did he buy a lot of kitchen utensils, but he also inhumanly abandoned himself who was so busy at the booth...

Recalling the scene when he was so busy that he was almost dizzy, the stall owner silently clenched his fists and said: I still miss it!

"No! It's Zongshi's birthday is coming soon..." At this point, Yiqi's voice lowered—in his opinion, Zongshi has always been thinking for himself, and now it's on his side, as if Can't do anything... "And now I don't know what to give him..."

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the Christmas date to pick out things that the chief might like, but after a whole day, I didn't get anything... So, it's really no wonder that Yiqi behaved so disappointed at this moment.

However, in stark contrast to this - he was obviously using most of his mind to worry about other things, but Yiqi's hand still skillfully carried the kitchen knife, and neatly cut a big red apple into eighth Rabbit shapes and carefully arranged on a plate.

This is the after-dinner fruit for Zongshi.

Noticing that Yiqi was really depressed because of his troubles, the stall owner decided to temporarily ignore Yiqi's skillful swordsmanship that seemed to have become instinctive, and kindly expressed concern as an elderly person: " Are you in a hurry?"

"Tomorrow will be it." Saying that, Yiqi frowned and sighed lightly, looking quite depressed, after all, he was still helpless at present.

"In this case, it's really tricky..." Talking to himself like this, the stall owner glanced at the chief who was eating curry peacefully, and suddenly thought about it, and then a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I have a solution." The stall owner suddenly said with a proud face.

"Huh?" Yiqi blinked his eyes and tilted his head when he heard the words, waiting for the next sentence with great interest.

But to be honest, the moment he heard the stall owner say that he has a solution, Yiqi felt as if he saw another Mr. Mizoguchi.

Therefore, he didn't notice that the person sitting not far behind him silently cast a meaningful look.

**************

On December 27, the operation began.

**************

In fact, at the beginning, the chief executive did not have much special interest in the day "December 27".
