Since no one bullies Ebina at school and the possibility of trouble at home is very small, the last mystery is that he works part-time in a restaurant.

"Let's go." Xiaomi stretched out her hand to straighten the folds on her skirt, gritting her teeth and humming softly, "If we can't find the reason for Ebina's melancholy, the pervert senior will commit seppuku!"

"..."

It was late autumn, and it was getting dark very quickly. I just drank a cup of coffee, walked along Ebina for a while, and then hid for a while, and the sun began to set gradually in the west.

Hajima Seisuke returned to the apartment, put down his schoolbag, and silently listened to the movement next door.

After Ebina left, he silently counted the time, went out and followed him.

The part-time restaurant was not far from the apartment. It only took ten or twenty minutes to walk. Ebina did not take the train and walked silently on the street alone.

Hashima Seisuke followed from a distance, and the two of them walked to the restaurant one after the other.

Looking at the familiar restaurant, Hashima Seisuke felt a little nostalgic. When he first traveled through time, in order to earn pocket money and get rid of the confusion and random thoughts when he was alone, he worked in the restaurant in front of him for a while. Time passed by. , more than half a year has passed before I knew it.

Hashima Seisuke did not rush into the restaurant, but stood outside for a while, silently observing Ebina at work.

Because his voice is too soft and he is not good at communicating with others, Ebina usually works in the kitchen and serving dishes... After all this time, Ebina's job has not changed.

Ebina is indeed not suitable for the workplace. If it had been someone else, he might have become the deputy store manager!

The dusk is deep.

The evening breeze is cool.

Countless lights on the long street lit up quietly.

Hajima Seisuke quietly observed for a moment outside the restaurant and did not see anyone deliberately making things difficult for Ebina.

Taking a gentle breath, Hajima Seisuke walked out of the shadows and walked into the restaurant.

"Welcome..." A girl bowed and shouted with a clear voice, "Hey, Hashima-kun?"

"Nanami, good evening."

Looking at the girl in front of him who was wearing a black and white restaurant uniform, her ponytail swaying slightly, and she looked quite heroic, Hashima Seisuke couldn't help but laugh.

Aoyama Nanami opened her eyes wide and said in surprise:

"It's really Hajima-kun, why are you here?"

Hajima Seisuke smiled and said: "I'm hungry, so I just came over for dinner."

"There is a seat over there." Aoyama Nanami was also very happy, "Hashima-kun, come and sit."

Hashima Seisuke followed up and sat down at an unoccupied dining table.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. The beautiful store manager who interviewed him has been replaced. It is said that he has gone to another newly opened branch to be the store manager. Most of the people he met while working in the restaurant together have become strangers, and there are not many people he knows anymore. , people lament how time flies.

"Hashima-kun, what do you want to eat?" Aoyama Nanami handed over the menu, "The restaurant has recently launched new autumn dishes, and they taste very good."

Hajima Kiyosuke took over the menu and found that there were many new products in autumn. Japan has always had a saying of "Autumn of Appetite", and there is also a proverb called "Autumn when the sky is high and the horses are fat", which literally means: autumn is high and the air is crisp, and the grain harvest is good. Even the horses are getting fat. All in all, autumn is the season for eating.

"The matsutake mushrooms were only delivered this afternoon." Nanami bent down and reminded softly, "Hashima can order one."

The freshness of the ingredients is actually very important. Yesterday’s ingredients are of course different from today’s ingredients.

"Then I want a piece of matsutake rice." Hashima Seisuke nodded slightly, glanced at the menu, ordered barbecue oysters and a piece of teriyaki chicken, and then asked, "Nanami, have you had any Ebina in the past two days? What happened?"

"Eh?" Aoyama Nanami was startled, subconsciously pursed her pink lips, thought for a moment, and then shook her head slightly, "Ebina has indeed been a bit depressed in the past two days... but no guests have made things difficult for her, and no one has bullied her. At least I didn’t see it.”

Nanami Aoyama paused and continued:

"If you want to know what's wrong with Ebina, Hashima can ask directly... If it's Hashima-kun, Ebina will definitely not hide it from you."

After a while.

A weak red-haired girl wearing a restaurant uniform came over carrying food.

"S-Senior?"

Seeing Hajima Seisuke sitting at the table, Ebina opened his eyes wide in surprise, with an expression of surprise on his face, and then quickly turned red, "Why are you here, senior?"

"I'm hungry, so I came here to eat." Hashima Seisuke coughed twice, "When will you go back?"

Ebina replied softly: "It won't be until half past seven."

"I'll wait for you." Hashima Kiyosuke said simply, "Let's go back together then."

Chapter 939 Senior touches it

"We'll go back together after you finish your part-time job... Let's go to work first."

Hajima Kiyosuke said softly.

"knew."

Ebina blushed and nodded, turned around and left, continuing to work.

Hashima Seisuke ate his dinner in silence, during which he also helped Nanami Aoyama solve a problem.

If there is one thing that people who work in Japanese restaurants hate to hear the most, it is probably the customer’s request for a ‘refill’.

Because the restaurant emphasizes service first and does not allow guests to ask questions. However, there are so many guests during the peak dining period and everyone is so busy that no one remembers what you just drank.

In China, it would be enough to ask, "Excuse me, what did you drink just now?" But it's a pity that it doesn't work in Japan.

The store manager has expressly forbidden to talk to customers in a rhetorical tone. At this time, the waiter can only put on a forced smile and run to look at the consumption receipt. It is troublesome and time-consuming to go back and forth. If he moves a little slower, maybe he can still He will be made things difficult for him. Hajima Kiyosuke has encountered this many times, so he naturally knows the ropes.

"Nanami." Seisuke Hashima called out to Nanami Aoyama who was passing by in a hurry, and reminded him, "It's a cup of Kikuhime sake."

Aoyama Nanami's eyes lit up. This reminder could save her a lot of trouble: "Thank you, Hashima-kun."

"Need not."

Hajima Seisuke waved his hand and continued to eat, reminding others to refill their drinks from time to time. He now has a very good memory and can remember almost everything at a glance.

Time slipped away quietly.

It was eight o'clock in the evening.

After finishing his part-time job, Ebina changed his clothes and walked out of the employee passage of the restaurant. He walked in front of Hajima Kiyosuke in small steps and whispered with a blushing face: "Senior, I have changed my clothes."

Hajima Seisuke stood up and said, "Let's go back."

"Um."

Naturally, the weak red-haired girl had no objection and followed Hajima Kiyosuke in small steps out of the restaurant.

"Hashima-kun, I leave it to you Ebina." Nanami Aoyama waved her hand, her ponytail swaying slightly behind her, "I'm leaving first."

Hajima Kiyosuke nodded and said:

"give it to me."

"Ebina, see you tomorrow."

"Nanami, see you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Nanami, Hashima Seisuke walked towards the intersection, and Ebina quickly followed, and they walked towards the apartment together.

Ebina looked down at Hashima Seisuke's shadow on the ground, and recalled the days when he and Hashima Seisuke worked together in the spring. At that time, as long as they went home together, even if they didn't talk, they felt at ease, but now they are inevitably a little uneasy.

The evening breeze is cool.

The long street is quiet.

"Ebina."

Walking to a deserted street, Hashima Kiyosuke finally spoke.

"I-I'm here!"

Ebina's eyelashes trembled slightly and she quickly answered.

"I don't know what happened to you, but one person is short-term and two people are wise. If you want to say anything, you can tell me at any time." Hajima Kiyosuke looked at the red-haired weak girl and said warmly, "I will always be there for you. around."

"Study, senior..."

Ebina opened his mouth, suddenly felt his nose was sore, and then pressed his pink lips tightly.

can not say.

At least not on the street.

If someone hears that kind of thing...

Looking at Ebina, who was sniffling and bowing his head in silence, Hajima Kiyosuke took a deep breath. Without forcing him, he just stretched out his right hand and held the small hand of the weak red-haired woman.

It was indeed extremely cold.

"S-Senior?"

Ebina looked up in panic, his face quickly turning red.

"There are steps ahead." Hashima Kiyosuke's expression remained unchanged and he did not let go of his hand. He led Ebina forward and said, "Let's go."

"oh……"

The entire journey was silent.

The two soon returned to the apartment.

"The weather is a bit cold." Hashima Seisuke let go of Ebina's little hand, "Be careful not to catch a cold when you take a bath."

Ebina clenched his right hand into a fist and pressed it on his chest, silently soaking up the remaining warmth in his hand. He watched Hajima Seisuke take out the key, open the door, then push the door open and walk into the hallway. Finally, he mustered up the courage to say: "Senior, I, I'll wait. I’ll come find you later!”

Hashima Kiyosuke nodded seriously: "I'll wait for you."

Watching Ebina walk into the apartment next door, Hashima Kiyosuke breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the situation was not as bad as he thought.

If something really bad happened, with Ebina's character, he would definitely not be able to say a word, and he would even hide in his room, refusing to leave the house even half a step away...

"Senior, how is the situation?"

Xiao Mian probably heard the noise upstairs and quickly sent a message to ask.

"I have observed it, and it seems that something happened in the restaurant."

Hajima Seisuke replied thoughtfully that Ebina did not show any fear or nervousness when she was working in the restaurant. If someone really bullied her in the restaurant, she would definitely not be able to act like usual.

"No one bullies Ebina at school, and now the suspicion of the restaurant has been eliminated." Xiaomi suddenly became disappointed, "Then what is the reason?"

"When I entered the door just now, Ebina said he would come over to me later."

"Hey, senior pervert, please inform me immediately if there is any information."

"knew."

After talking to Xiaomi, Hashima Seisuke no longer had the heart to play shogi. He sat on the sofa and read a book while waiting for Ebina to come over.

Half an hour passed in this wait.

Just when Hashima Kiyosuke frowned and thought about why Ebina changed his mind, his phone suddenly vibrated.

"Senior, come here, I dare not go out."

It was a message from Ebina.

Don't dare to go out?

Is it already serious enough?

Hashima Kiyosuke raised his eyebrows slightly, "What happened?"

"Well, well, I just finished taking a shower. I went out in my pajamas because I was afraid of being seen..." Ebina hesitantly sent a message, "And I have been feeling like someone is following me secretly this afternoon..."

Hajima Kiyosuke: "..."

Your feeling is absolutely correct. I and Xiaomi have been following you this afternoon!

It's a pity that I can't tell the truth for the time being, so I can only say sorry silently.

"I understand, let's get over it."

Hashima Seisuke quickly stood up and walked out.

He took two steps to the door of the apartment next door, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

"Click."

The door opened quickly, and the weak red-haired girl poked half of her face out. After confirming that it was Hajima Seisuke, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the door. Her face was red, her eyes were wandering and she didn't dare to look at anyone: "Senior, come in. Bar."
