Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

[The prologue of Chapter 0 has been overhauled in the past two days. If you are interested, you can take a look.]

"This is it."

Yukino brought Yui and the others to the place where they met Xiaobai yesterday, and stopped to speak. Her voice was calm and gentle, but her eyes revealed a hint of expectation and uneasiness.

"Hey, there are actually kittens here? This is the first time I know of this."

Yui opened her mouth slightly, with a look of surprise on her face. Her bright eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she seemed to be full of interest in this new discovery.

"Well...it's a kitten with white fur and blue eyes. Very cute."

Xueno answered softly, looking around to find Xiaobai. Unfortunately, there was no trace of Xiaobai. She felt a sense of loss, but she remained calm.

"Well, then Xiaoxue, can you call Xiaobai out? I want to see it, too." Yui blinked her big eyes and looked at Yukino expectantly. Her voice had a slightly coquettish tone, which made people feel pity and love.

Yui was also very curious about being praised by Yukino for being a cute cat. After all, she had liked cute creatures like cats and dogs since she was a child. When she was a child, the community where she lived did not allow cats, so she secretly raised one, but it ended up giving her some bad memories.

"I can't yell. It doesn't really listen to me."

Xueno hesitated, a hint of helplessness flashing in her clear eyes, and then she looked at Su Qing, who understood and called Xiaobai's name like yesterday, but this time, Xiaobai did not run over happily as usual after hearing the call.

"He must have gone somewhere to play. He's not here now."

After waiting for a long time, Xiaobai did not show up. According to Su Qing's experience, Xiaobai should have gone for a stroll or to find something to eat.

"I see. But will Xiaobai listen to Xiaoqing?"

When Su Qing called Xiaobai, Yui looked left and right, but did not find the white-haired, blue-eyed kitten that Yukino described. She felt regretful and asked in confusion.

Just as Xue Nai was about to explain, Su Qing answered first:

"Yesterday on my way back, I ran into Xiaobai by chance, and then I met Yukinoshita, and I don't know why Xiaobai listened to me very much."

"What a coincidence! It seems to be true. My Sabre also likes Xiaoqing very much."

Yui seemed to have discovered something in common, she made a fist with her right hand and knocked it on the palm of her left hand, and said with a smile.

"Since Xiaobai is not here, let's build the cat house first."

Hikigaya took out all the tools and materials he had bought and suggested.

"That's good too. If we build it before Xiaobai comes back, we can avoid accidentally damaging it."

As expected of a typical cat lover, he is still thinking about Xiaobai even at this time.

Su Qing had never thought about it from this perspective, and after hearing Xue No's concerns, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Just like that, Su Qing arranged relatively suitable jobs for the people in the service department. As for why it was Su Qing...

"You are really agile, aren't you?"

Hikigaya looked at Su Qing who was doing everything smoothly and couldn't help but smack his lips.

You have to know that the tasks assigned to her by the other party were the most and the most difficult. Although Yukino told him that he didn't need to deliberately assign her easier tasks just because she was a girl, after all, building the cat house was her own suggestion.

But Su Qing just said calmly:

“The proposal was made by one person, but it became a community activity for everyone in the Ministry.”

"Besides, Totsuka-san has about the same workload as you."

Faced with Su Qing's almost flawless statement, Xue No no longer insisted, turned around and silently began her work.

"Well...even if you praise me like that, I won't finish your workload."

After hearing Hikigaya's words, Su Qing's body paused, then raised his head to cut off Hikigaya's thoughts.

"Am I that kind of person?"

Hikigaya actually had some thoughts like this in his heart.

Those who are capable should work harder, and helping the weak is only natural!

No, in fact, this is all nonsense. Hikigaya just wants to trick Su Qing. After all, it's just something he said casually. But now that Su Qing has pointed it out directly, he naturally can't admit it.

"If you finish earlier, you might be able to help Ayaka."

Su Qing felt it necessary to give Hikigaya some motivation and threw out a highly suggestive bait that Hikigaya couldn't refuse.

"This is all for Shiro... It has nothing to do with Ayaka."

After Hikigaya said this, the work progressed visibly faster. Seeing his behavior, Su Qing smiled and stopped talking.

After Ayaka's last commission, although the other party did not admit it, Su Qing was already certain that Ayaka was a female, so there was no need to worry about Hikigaya's gender orientation.

To take a step back, isn't it more romantic that he sees through Caijia's disguise as a man and still falls in love with her?

Even though they were building a cat house from scratch, due to the small size of the cat and the fact that everyone prioritized the practicality of the cat house, they did not make it look like a luxury villa like some tutorials on the Internet. In addition, with four people on site and Su Qing, Xiaobai's new home was built quickly.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Would you like something to drink? I'll go get it."

After the cat house was built, everyone felt a little tired. Although it was just a small cat house, it was the first time they made something like this by hand. There were many mistakes along the way, but they were all completed successfully under Su Qing's guidance.

"Green tea, please."

Hikigaya thought for a moment and said.

"Black tea, please."

“Strawberry milk!”

Yui still raised her hand with full energy and said.

After noting down the drinks that Ayaka and Yui wanted to drink, Yukino was the only one left without an answer, so Su Qing moved his gaze over there.

"Coffee. Plus, I'll come with you."

"No, just sit down and rest."

Su Qing tried to refuse. After the last time Totsuka commissioned him, he roughly understood that the other party's physical strength was her weakness.

"It's hard to carry five drinks by yourself, right?"

"Ok."

Su Qing nodded helplessly. The other party's words left him no reason to refuse.

"Well, then, I want to go too!"

Seeing Su Qing and Xue No forming a group, Yui tried to join, but the two of them looked at Yui breathing heavily and decisively refused.

During the process of building the cat house, although the other party was serious, she made the most mistakes, so that she was always in a flustered state. In the end, Xueno and Su Qing finished their work first and came to help her.
