People in Tokyo, the world is clear

Wandering, having no fixed place to live.

Confused and at a loss as to where to go.

There is probably no more shameful time traveler.

Fortunately, I met some good people and learned what they were praying for.

Thus, some ambitions arose in the midst of leisure.

Just do something about it.

With the girl next to him who also has no pursuit.

It's a life worth talking about.

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but start talking.

"Kurosawa seems a bit more excited lately than when we first met."

"Ah."

Ms. Ito nodded. "I'm planning to submit new works to major comic publishers again soon. I'm already putting the finishing touches on it."

Compared to Lin Sen, the golden retriever is closer to Miss Cat.

When she returned home last night, Lin Sen heard the comic writer discussing inspiration and plot with her.

Obviously, he has been integrated into other people's dream-chasing career.

To be honest, I am quite pleased with this progress.

The tone also rose a little.

"Very good. Ito, you seem to have been helping Kurosawa a lot lately."

"Yeah. He's already a qualified assistant. Unlike some talkative contestant who drags people into a pirate ship."

“Isn’t there a night shift?”

Being thick-skinned is someone's strength.

Quickly change the subject:

"Ito seems to be quite free lately. Isn't work so busy anymore?"

The girl paused slightly after hearing these words.

There was a moment of hesitation, but it was quickly covered up.

"...Um."

Ito Nishika tried his best to force a normal smile and gave an affirmative answer.

Pretending to be nonchalant.

Successfully completed the deception.

It’s a pity that it’s only half a minute.

A hand suddenly came over and supported the shoulder, directly exposing the lie.

"..."

The girl opened her eyes wide and looked over, but she had a thoughtful expression on her face.

There was also a big dog being pulled over with a confused look on its face.

Then the young man looked over with a serious expression.

"Ito."

"?"

"Is there a problem at work?"

He pointed at Kurosawa Rina who came up to him with a worried look on her face.

"This guy said that you often come back in the afternoon these days."

"."

"Tell the truth."

So, under the gaze of the man and his friends, the girl stared blankly with her eyes wide open.

[Nothing can be hidden.]

[I don't know when, but he would be able to detect even the slightest bit of something wrong.]

[From childhood to adulthood, I have never had such an experience.]

Chapter 10: Unemployed Youth Have Little Joy

Watch carefully.

The girl's name is Xiaoguo.

She just lost her job a few days ago.

But Xiaoguo is a kind person.

Faced with the bad news, she did not share her negative emotions with her friends Xiaolin and Xiaohei.

Even take the initiative to cover it up.

But Lin Sen is not another heartless big dog.

We've known each other for a month.

He already knew that the girl was the kind of innocent child who would not hide her abnormality.

It's just that I was busy interacting with a sponsoring editor these days and overlooked the details that I should have found earlier.

With a little observation, the truth comes to light.

This actually gave Kurosawa Rina, who had been in more contact with her in the past few days, a big shock.

"This, this, this..."

Miss Inu's little hands, which had nowhere to go, finally hugged her shoulders and squatted beside the unemployed man who was still holding a pen and marking her manuscript, stammering.

"Strange, no wonder, these past few days, Ito, you've been coming to me every afternoon."

"The morning is enough time to submit resumes and have interviews. So, you can come help Kurosawa in the afternoon."

The person who was fired had a carefree smile on his face.

Miss Ito glanced at the young man sitting opposite her, then looked down at the big golden retriever squatting beside her with a worried look on his face.

He reached out and gently stroked the furry head.

"It's just a normal personnel change."

She tried to appear relaxed.

"I'm truly incompetent at my job. Even with constant overtime, the plans I produce are full of flaws and errors, and my boss is constantly frustrated. So, even if HR doesn't mention it to me, I might one day voluntarily submit my resignation. That way, everyone's relieved."

The strong girl is still smiling.

Compared to the two silent friends, Ms. Ito is the more optimistic one.

She even put down her pen and waved her hands, and even went so far as to comfort Miss Stray Dog, who was already pulling at her trouser legs and sobbing sadly.

"Wow, Ito, my Ito!"

"Really? Don't be so rude. It's nothing. If you lose your job, you can just go out and find another one."

Having said this, the girl pretended to be angry and knocked on the shoulder of the big dog Kurosawa.

"I mean, don't think so badly. I have a college degree! Don't act like I'm going to be broke and unable to survive in Tokyo."

Then he turned to the concluding remarks, which were delivered smoothly:

"Anyway, Senior and Kurosawa don't have to worry too much about me."

Then he held the big golden retriever that was still hugging his thigh in his hands and lifted it up in front of him, shaking it.

"So stop acting like I'm terminally ill, you idiot!"

The jokes serve as a transition to a tragic event.

By the end, the laughter even became more lively.

"That's perfect. I don't have classes, so I can focus on learning how to be a good assistant to you, Kurosawa. When I'm competent, you'll have to pay me."

This joke woke up the big dog Kurosawa who was still crying.

"No need to wait, send it now!"

He then used his hands and feet to dig the ground just like Tom Cat.

He rushed over to the countless large bags in the room, picked one out and opened it.

Dig out the mess of coats, sweatpants and sneakers.

Finally, in the shocked eyes of the other two people present, he pulled out a stack of portraits of Fukuzawa Yoshiyu's beautiful face, rushed over and solemnly handed it to Miss Ito.

Another domineering wave of the hand.

"Take it and use it! If you don't have enough, come back to me!"

At this moment, all the decadence and weakness in Kurosawa Rina disappeared.

Setsuna has a kind of beauty called Sasagawa Rimei.

At this moment, generosity becomes the biggest plus point in appearance, temperament and even impression.

The majestic big dog put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and exuded a shining aura called the light of a rich woman.

then.

He was hit on the head by a clenched fist.

"Ow~"

It shrank like a deflated ball, revealing its true colors.

"Take it back quickly."

Miss Ito stuffed the money back into the man's pocket, looking annoyed as she began to criticize this childish adult who hadn't grown up yet.

"I'm not helping at all right now. I'm just acting as an intern assistant. Kurosawa can't pay me like this."

"Woo~"

"Besides, don't show off your wealth. We're just acquaintances, and Kurosawa is just casually showing off his savings. If I'm the kind of person with bad intentions, I'll definitely take advantage of you. Don't do that in the future. You have to be on guard against others, even if the target is me or Kobayashi-senpai, understand?"

"Oh~"

Lin Sen watched the cat girl train the dog, which was a size bigger than her, very well.

Then, when leaving Kurosawa's house, he handed over the half-cold fried chicken box.

Sharing some snacks with each other occasionally has become an unspoken habit.

Therefore, the girl has become so accustomed to it that she doesn't even need to say thank you.

Dexterous white fingers reached into the box and deftly picked out the stick with the smallest piece.

One bite and a smile comes out.

"Actually, it's quite interesting, senpai."

So the young man waved his hands to disperse the dust rising into the air under the moonlight in the middle of the night, and listened to the smiling girl sharing her memories.

"You told me this principle of not showing off your wealth when we first met, Senior."

"Now you're using it to teach Kurosawa, right?"

"Hmm~"

The two of them opened the door side by side with the key, and squatted down in sync to pick up the pet cat that pounced on them with its tail wagging.

They looked at each other again.
