After Boqi moved into my closet, the quiet life is gone forever

Chaoyang spoke at this time.

Hiroi Kikuri looked shameless.

"Okay~~ Then I'll have a drink~ Mama-san! Draft beer!!!"

"Yes Yes."

The proprietress gave a helpless smile and started pouring beer from the chilled beer glass in the refrigerator.

Within seconds, the beer appeared in front of Hiroi Kikuri, who was full of anticipation.

"Then everyone cheers~~~"

Yang Nai cooperated lively and raised her small cups to clink together.

Just as Hiroi Kikuri was about to put the beer into her mouth.

"...By the way, you must be Hiroi Kikuri from SICK HACK, right?"

Suddenly, she seemed to be cast under a pause spell.

Then he drank all the beer in an instant with amazing momentum, as if he was afraid that Chaoyang would snatch it back.

"Hey~~Are we exposed?"

"Ha, drink slowly. I treated you to a drink after I recognized you from the beginning... Madam Boss, please excuse me and give her another drink."

Chaoyang took out a tissue and handed it to her, asking her to wipe the foam on her mouth. He turned around and asked the proprietress to give her another cup.

"Wow, I'm so touched that there's such a popular fan. Could it be that you're my fan? Hey, I want to give you an autograph."

"I don't want to..."

Chaoyang decisively refused.

"You already have me~~, you're not going to fall for her again~~ Sister, don't let this man fool you~~"

Yang Nai was laughing secretly at this time, and although she was facing the sun, she covered her lips as if she was talking in private.

"Don't make trouble either."

"No! I believe the young man is not such a person. This look tells me that he is a good person."

"Ah, whether it's a fan or someone with ulterior motives, it's a bit troublesome to be pestered. I prefer drinking alone~~ I think I should find a chance to escape after drinking... Let's go find the next place and implement plan B."

Hiroi Kikuri continued drinking and began to plan in her mind.

"Madam, is there any good set meal restaurant nearby?"

Chaoyang suddenly asked.

"...Hey, let me see, there's a fried chicken shop just down the road that seems to have good reviews, and there's also a Western-style restaurant across the street that's also good. Have you had enough to drink, bro?"

"Yang No, do you want to drink more?"

Yang shook his head slightly

"No, this tipsy feeling is enough for now... Are you hungry?"

"Kind of."

"Cuckoo cuckoo..."

Just as Chaoyang and Yang No were packing up and chatting to leave, Hiroi Kikuri, who had already finished her second beer

"Ah~~ Kikuri, are you hungry?"

The proprietress pointed it out with a blunt smile.

"Miss Hiroi, do you want to eat with us? We can treat you, so if you want to go, just come along. The boss lady has left 5,000 here, so you don't need to change."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Being too active will make people think you have ulterior motives, so the most important thing is to maintain the feeling that you seem interested but not too serious.

"Let's go, Yang No."

Yang Nai followed Chaoyang, jumping and skipping with a bag on his back.

Before leaving, he waved enthusiastically to the proprietress and Hiroi Kikuri behind him.

"Then~~じゃあね~~(jya ne)"

After the door is closed

"I'm really hungry. I haven't eaten anything all day. Mama-san left first!"

Hiroi Kikuri slammed the table, stood up and hurriedly chased after Chaoyang and the others.

"Well, be careful on the road."

……

"Wow, um~~~~"

Hiroi Kikuri ate the fried chicken nuggets doused with lemon juice in big mouthfuls and quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice.

The big sign in front of me is filled with salads for one third and chicken nuggets for two thirds.

The fried chicken set in front of Chaoyang and Yangno, who were sitting opposite, looked very mini.

"Hmm... the seasoning is really good, better than the one I used to work at. How's it, Yang No?"

She was so rude... She actually ordered a special set meal with 15 chicken nuggets...

"Hmm~~ Oh, this tastes good as a side dish for drinking~~, I'll go buy another one to take home."

"Is that so appetizing? Then go ahead."

"Hmm~~ I might go to the restroom by the way. I'll be back when the time is right~ Just finish what you want to do."

Finally, she whispered something affectionately into Chaoyang's ear, her breath soft and gentle, carrying the warmth of a tipsy feeling. Her lips parted slightly, lightly touching Chaoyang's earlobe. Yang Nai's lips glided across Chaoyang's earlobe, almost weightless, yet bringing an indescribable feeling.

Chaoyang felt a slight itching and warmth in his earlobe.

[How annoying! Such a smart woman! She knows what I want to do instantly.]

"Huhu~~ How intimate~"

Hiroi Kikuri, who was enjoying the meal, did not forget to join in the fun.

After completing this little action, Yang Noi smiled with satisfaction, then turned and left, walking out with light steps.

Chaoyang saw that Hiroi Kikuri had finished about half of the chicken nuggets, so it was time to make his request. Hiroi Kikuri had already eaten and drunk, so he couldn't refuse her help at this time, no matter how thick-skinned he was. But he had to think of a clever reason...

"Ms. Hiroi... Actually, I have a favor I'd like you to help me with."

"Hmm? If it's money-related, I can't help you. I still owe money myself."

Hiroi Kikuri said frankly.

"Ahaha, of course not. Please listen to me, Ms. Hiroi. The thing is, the girl I just met and I actually... ran away from home after a quarrel. To be honest, we are both in the first year of high school."

“Puff!!!!!”

Hiroi Kikuri unceremoniously sprayed rice grains all over Chaoyang's face.

"High, freshman year!? Then you guys actually went to a bar to drink! Um, wow, this is the first time I've seen young people who are more reckless than me... Oh, maybe you guys are perfect for rock music~ This bold and rebellious feeling is pretty good, I, Hiroi-nee, really admire it~~"

As he spoke, he reached across the table and patted Chaoyang on the shoulder.

"hehe…"

Chaoyang's mouth twitched as he wiped the rice grains off his face.

"Actually, our family is quite wealthy and we have quite a bit of money. We'd like to rent a luxury apartment~~ but since you're a minor... can I call you Kikuri-sister?"

"Sure, you can yell as much as you want."

"So we can't sign a rental agreement without our guardian's permission... Can you help us sign it? Don't worry, we'll pay the rent and deposit in full and buy insurance, so even if there's damage to the house, you won't be held responsible. And as a reward, I'll help you settle your outstanding debts and give Sister Juli a new life!"

[Although there's a high probability that I'll be in debt again in a few days.]

Hiroi Kikuri was obviously surprised when she heard Chaoyang's words.

"It sounds like you're being too nice to me, bro. ...I owe you hundreds of thousands, huh?"

"Hehe~~ Although it may seem a bit like showing off my wealth... I'm considered a wealthy second-generation, so this amount of money is no problem. Well, if you think the reward is too much and you can't afford it, then cut it in half. Of course, I can accept that."

"Ah!! No need to halve it~~~, actually, I can handle a high risk, yeah, yeah, high risk, high return is a good match. Even though it's difficult, I'll just accept it, hehe~~~~"

A satisfied smile appeared on Hiroi Kikuri's face, and she was obviously very happy with Chaoyang's proposal. She seemed to have begun to imagine her wonderful life after her debts were cleared.

He gobbled up the fried chicken nuggets at lightning speed.

The moment I swallowed it all.

“Go sign it now!!!”

He slammed the table and stood up.

"It's late at night... I'll contact you, Juli-jie, tomorrow afternoon. Please give me your contact information."

"Okay~~"

Just when Chaoyang exchanged contact information.

Yang Nai came back from somewhere, holding a lunch box in her hand.

"Solve it?"

"Well, it's over now. I can finally settle down in this world."

Anyway, Hiroi Kikuri herself is a bit off the mark, so Chaoyang said it out loud without hiding it.

And what Hiroi Kikuri was thinking in her heart was.

[Maybe this will give me a free place to shower in the future~ Lately, Eliza and Shima have been looking at me with disdain every time I go to their place to shower... Come to think of it, I haven't had a bath in ages~~ Luxury apartments are so nice~~ I'll ask tomorrow if I can use the bathroom, hehe.]

"Then let's go"

……

After the three of them finished their meal, they left the restaurant separately.

Before separation

"Wait a minute, Sister Juli...this is for you."

Chaoyang took out a thousand and gave it to her.

"This is?"

I'm so tired, so alone

"You're going to drink anyway, right? I can't give you too much, or you'll definitely be sleeping on the street tonight. Take this little money and go to the convenience store to buy some cheap alcohol to drink at home."

"Woo woo~~ You are such a nice person"

As he said this, he was about to pounce forward.

"Ah~~ This is not okay. This is against the contract~~~"

Yang Nai directly inserted himself in the middle and blocked it.

"Gee, gee~~ I was so touched that I accidentally did this. I'm sorry, girlfriend~. Well, tomorrow I'll have a drink. I'm going to the convenience store~"

Hiroi Kikuri tightly grasped the 1,000 yen and faced the rising sun. They retreated and waved their hands wildly, saying goodbye.

Until they were no longer in sight.

"Hmm~ Let's go back too."

Yang No intended to hold Chaoyang's hand, but...

"Sorry, Haruno... you still can't let go of Pochi... I'll go check..."

"Oh, the train stops halfway through your journey."

"...You're asking even though you already know the answer. You know my legs are faster, right?"

Yang let out a breath that was almost a sigh.
