Just as Ailian was about to turn around, he stopped in his tracks.
Jiang Lianqiu would mostly call her Round Shark, rarely calling her by her name, but once he did, it meant something bad was about to happen.
really--
"Are you three Ailian's classmates? Hello, I am Ailian's master."
Jiang Lianqiu nodded to the three JKs in front of him.
Blonde girl Ruby, Ushihito Mona, and the girl with glasses Rin.
“Master, Master, Master, Master!!!”
As expected, Ruby, the most lively and active, broke free from Ellen's hand and jumped up on the spot.
Lin's glasses jingled and reflected the light. "What a terrible name."
Mengna looked at Ailian tremblingly and whispered, "Ailian, could it be that you... your part-time job is actually a very bad one..."
It became popular.
The tip of Ailian's shark tail turned red!
Yue Chengliu patted Jiang Lianqiu's arm in amusement, raised his eyes and smiled at the three of them, "Don't get me wrong, Ailian is our family's lifetime maid, that's all."
Our family...
Jiang Lianqiu glanced at Yuecheng Liu meaningfully.
This hostess's style is really natural.
"I was so scared, so scared. She's just an ordinary maid—wait, lifetime employment!?" Ruby patted her chest and belatedly realized her blind spot.
"Yes, the salary is ten times the average annual salary of corporate executives in the market. There are statutory holidays guaranteed, and there is no need to be on duty every day. It is a shift work system."
“Since Elaine still needs to go to school, she can also adjust her work hours flexibly.”
Yue Chengliu's words stunned Ruby and the other two. Ruby finally screamed, "No wonder you're so rich, Shark Shark! Ten times the annual salary of a corporate executive! How many scratch-off tickets can you buy with that! Shark Shark, does your master still need a maid?!"
"Stop making so much noise! Ruby!" Ailian was almost dizzy after Ruby grabbed her shoulders and shook her. After breaking free from her, she bowed to Jiang Lianqiu again and said with gritted teeth, "Master, I would like to request three minutes of private time. Is that okay, Guang?"
Chapter 397: Is Qiu Jun already a useless person who can’t leave us?
A few minutes later, Ailian, who had sent her classmates away, came back.
Jiang Lianqiu noticed that she looked strange and asked casually, "What's wrong? Are you worried that your maid job will be exposed at school?"
"That's not the case..." Ellen shook her head. "Ruby and the others aren't talkative people. They just said they were planning to explore the Hollow soon."
Jiang Lianqiu: “?”
You can't just enter the void casually. Even if someone has ether adaptability, the school will arrange for them to take void practice classes (such as Fubo Yuzuye). Generally speaking, students are not allowed to enter the void casually.
"Are you worried?" Jiang Lianqiu raised his eyebrows. "If you're worried, why don't you just follow me and get hungry?"
Ailian's eyes lit up, "Really? I was on duty that day."
Since her maid job has been exposed, it’s no big deal if her fighting ability is exposed as well.
It's just that asking for leave while on duty is difficult to handle. The problem is not with Jiang Lianqiu, but with Lekaan. In the eyes of this dedicated housekeeper, it is already too much for Ailian to flexibly adjust her working hours because of school issues. It is even more excessive to ask for leave when she should be on duty.
"I can just go talk to Lycan myself. By the way, what's this expedition all about?"
Jiang Lianqiu was a little curious.
Ailian said uncertainly, "It's just some empty, weird rumor that's been circulating among students lately. Tsk, in the end, it's bound to be all misunderstandings and scams anyway."
Another ghost story?
Jiang Lianqiu suddenly thought of Fubo Yuye, a fan of ghost stories.
"Has there been any abnormality in the cave recently?" Jiang Lianqiu asked Yue Chengliu.
Although Yue Chengliu had resigned, it had only been a day. She shook her head and said, "No, HAND hasn't received any reports of void anomalies."
"After all, it's just a strange story that's obviously unreliable," Airen explained. "It says that a treasure chest can be found in a hollow, and whoever finds it can obtain the treasure from it—that's just a rumor."
"It's probably some Kag truck that some organization didn't have time to take away after retreating. We've heard similar news before."
Yue Chengliu laughed indifferently.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go home."
Patting his thigh, Jiang Lianqiu looked at the setting sun that was gradually setting over the horizon, stood up and announced the end of today's tour.
"I'm not going back." Yue Chengliu explained his upcoming arrangements. "I'm officially joining Silver Crown soon, and I need to make the most of this time to familiarize myself with the business procedures."
Jiang Lianqiu: "...The reason you can't leave work on time is really not just objective, Sister Liu."
Yue Chengliu hooked her arms around Jiang Lianqiu's neck, kissed his lips, and whispered:
"Anyway, as long as I want to come back, no matter how late it is, you will leave the light on for me, right?"
“…That’s true.”
……Dividing line……
Jiang Lianqiu has always been curious about one thing.
That is, as a shark, the round shark will never be able to sleep lying down for the rest of its life because of the tail behind its butt.
The answer is yes, round sharks can sleep on their side or on their stomachs, but lying on their backs will be very uncomfortable.
Unlike the middle part of the tail, which has ample muscles and where the front end connects to the body, the round shark's tail is thinner and has less muscle mass. However, the nerves of the entire tail need to pass through this part to connect with the central nervous system of the body, so the result is obvious.
——The nerve density in this location is far greater than other places.
It explodes when touched, becomes soft when touched, and can't even stand up if you pinch it even slightly.
What's even more interesting is that Jiang Lianqiu discovered that when he poked this spot with his finger, the round shark would lose control of its body and jump to the rhythm of Jiang Lianqiu's fingertips...
"So this is how a round shark reacts when its tail, a weak spot, is touched? It's completely different from Fu Fu."
"When I grabbed Fu Fu's tail, he instinctively lay down and exposed his belly, but you, Shark Shark, just jumped to the rhythm?"
"Perverted Master!!!"
That night, on the bed, Ai Lian summoned up her last bit of strength, lifted her right leg with her black stockings half-slipped to her knees, and kicked with all her soft feet... or rather, kicked against Jiang Lianqiu's chest.
"I have to go to school tomorrow—"
"Please ask for leave. I'll help you."
"Gu——" Hearing the word "leave", Ailian's eyes flashed with hesitation.
When her lips were blocked, she whimpered a few more times, and finally her tail, which had been stretched straight up, drooped limply on the edge of the bed.
"...Then I'm going to sleep in until noon."
"Also... the next parent-teacher meeting... Master, you promised to go... Don't shirk your responsibility!"
……Dividing line……
The next day, Butterfly House.
When Jiang Lianqiu walked out of the bedroom feeling refreshed, he saw Shinobu Kocho practicing sword in the yard.
"Hmm? Shinobu-chan? When did you get back?"
"Humph!!!"
Shinobu Kocho just glanced at Jiang Lianqiu without answering, then raised her sword and smashed the wooden man in front of her.
Finally, she reluctantly answered, "Last night."
"I came back with my sister, and as soon as I got back—tsk!"
Butterfly Kanae was walking along the citron corridor. She had heard the conversation between the two earlier, so she walked forward with a smile and stood on tiptoe to tidy up Jiang Lianqiu's still messy collar.
"Oh my, there's a maid by your side, so why are Qiu-kun's clothes still a mess? Could it be... for some reason, the maid went on strike, and stupid Qiu-kun has to dress himself?"
"It really makes me worry. Once there is no one to serve you, does Qiu Jun even know how to put on his clothes?"
Although she started out with a sarcastic tone, the smile in Kanae Kocho's eyes was filled with an inextricable tenderness, and the movements of her hands were extremely gentle. At the end, she even deliberately scratched his chin.
"It's obvious that Belfa's requirements are too high, and so are yours. I clearly thought it was already very neat."
Jiang Lianqiu's tone was a little unconfident.
Has he really been completely ruined by Belfast and his men?
"Okay, let's talk about the Kanzhuhe meeting."
"I've already told the lord... no, I should say, Mr. Ubuyashiki." Kocho Kanae tilted her head and replied, "He really gave him a fright when I said I was quitting the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Although the other pillars found it difficult to accept, Mr. Ubuyashiki is a very gentle person. He agreed to my application without asking for reasons."
"After all, he is a lord who remembers the names of everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps." Jiang Lianqiu was not surprised.
In this respect, Ubuyashiki Yoya is definitely a very qualified lord who is worthy of the loyalty and following of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Chapter 398: The Demon Slayer Corps Wandering at the Foot of the Mountain
Soon during breakfast, Butterfly Kanae told Jiang Lianqiu in detail about the process of the joint meeting.
After she requested to quit the Demon Slayer Corps, and even Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji followed suit, the remaining pillars felt like the sky was falling.
However, Ubuyashiki Yoya agreed directly and even gave his blessing on the spot after approval:
"Although the Demon Slayer Corps' recruitment process is extremely strict, that's because the casualty rate in battles with demons is incredibly high. Besides, joining is voluntary."
"You can join voluntarily, and of course you can withdraw voluntarily."
"Kanae, Mitsuri, Shinobu, I wish you all a safe and happy life ahead. I'm also very grateful for your contributions to the Demon Slayer Corps over the years."
Compared to Ubuyashiki Yoya's straightforwardness, Fuzukawa Minoru, who hated evil spirits extremely, asked the three people on the spot in confusion why they quit the team.
If you are just tired of fighting evil spirits, you can just retire and become a trainer instead of just quitting the team.
This was also everyone's question. After Uzui Nakagawa spoke, everyone was waiting for the answers from the three people.
They had imagined countless answers, but when they actually heard the reasons, everyone was dumbfounded.
—09—Because of getting married.
At that time, Mitsuri Kanroji held her red cheeks in her hands, her head was steaming, and her whole body was covered with a layer of sweat: "I am very sorry, but my lord, I joined the Demon Slayer Corps and worked hard to become a pillar in order to find my ideal husband. Now I have found him, and my husband is so powerful that I have reached my limit just by dealing with him. I really can't fight evil spirits anymore..."
The one you mentioned is best dealt with seriously!
Everyone couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
However, Mitsuri Kanroji's words also indirectly revealed a fact, that the person who caused the three pillars to quit the team was stronger than everyone present.
Rengoku Kyojuro couldn't help but recall the "miracle" he saw when he first arrived at Chouya Mountain.
Seeing that others still found it difficult to accept, Kocho Kanae explained more of the reasons.
"...I told Ubuyashiki-san and all the other pillars about Aki-kun. I hope Aki-kun won't blame me?"
"What's the big deal?" Jiang Lianqiu slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks. "I'm not ashamed of myself."
"So, how did they react?"
"Hi! My Lord... uh! Ubuyashiki-san is about to lead all the pillars to Chouya Mountain to formally pay a visit to my husband!" Kanroji Mitsuri raised her hand in response, then turned and handed the empty bowl to Lina beside her, "Another bowl, please!"
"Mrs. Mitsuri has a good appetite," Alexandrina recommended as she directed her friends, Bangbudusula and Anastasia, to serve rice to Mitsuri of Ganlu Temple. "Would you like to try my latest dish?"
"Yes!!!" Mitsuri Kanroji licked her lips, and her three braids stood up with joy.
Jiang Lianqiu and Kocho Kanae immediately looked at Mitsuri Kanroji with pity, and a few minutes later they raised their glasses together as they watched her lying on the table foaming at the mouth.
“My highest respect to my dear wife (Ms. Mitsuri), a true warrior.”
"Sister! Brother-in-law! Hurry up and save him!!!"
Shinobu Kocho hurriedly rushed out with Mitsuri Kanroji in her arms, leaving behind the two people who were giggling secretly in the room, and Lina who was at a loss beside them.
"Well, Lina, think more positively." Jiang Lianqiu tried to comfort her.
Lina's eyes showed a hint of anticipation.
