Your lunch is mine

Mature adults will support children to be self-reliant, so Qihai Jianren used the sense of responsibility in the company to teach the younger generation, and carefully and rigorously taught Sanyuankui the correct way to wash dishes.

Sanyuankui, who successfully washed the dishes, was very happy, and Jianren Qihai, who had taught the little girl... It was a little gratifying to see the other party leaving the kitchen with a lot more brisk footsteps.

But the next thing is going to be more serious.

He thought, left the kitchen and went back to the living room.

"Aoi, I have something to tell you about our future plans."

Sometimes communication is the necessary basis, what's more, it's not a short-term cooperation, but a long-term relationship that lasts for a few years, so Qihai Construction believes that communication at this time is very important.

Aside from the other party's ability to see spells and no one knows, those more everyday things must be clarified.

"Next?"

Sanyuankui blinked, knowing that the other party probably had a lot to say, she straightened her back, showing that she would listen carefully.

"First of all, you already know my job. I just work there. Most of what I do on weekdays is related to finance. Of course, you don't need to understand this in depth. Simply put, it's a job like helping people manage money."

There is no need to say what investment, securities... and other things that children absolutely cannot understand.

"My working hours are from 8:40 in the morning to 17:10 in the evening."

Jianren Qihai sat on the sofa next to Sanyuankui and told the time very accurately.

"Due to some special reasons, it will occasionally pass by 7:30 in the morning, and it is likely to be delayed until 9 or 10 o'clock in the evening before getting off work."

7:30 is the morning meeting that may be held several times a month, and the evening is for overtime work or company party entertainment.

Sanyuankui nodded blankly after listening for a long time.

What Qihai meant was that he would go out early and return late, so he couldn't take care of the meal, right?

and so……

"I will learn to cook."

She took the pledge quite seriously.

"And repair electrical appliances, change light bulbs, clean tables..."

As she spoke, she recalled the only Kusanagi's bar in Barbara that had a serious business in her mind, and hurriedly added it.

"And bartending."

It's all serious business, Kusanagi is the most reliable person in Barbara, so bartending must also be a serious business.

As long as she learns well, she can be independent, and then she doesn't have to bother the mission target to raise her. Maybe she can raise the mission target in turn, which will be easier to approach!

"Barending?"

Jianren Qihai frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

It is normal to want to learn to cook and clean the table, and it is barely justified to change the light bulb.

But what happened to the bartender with an incompatible painting style?As far as he knew, his cousin's family worked in the news media, why did the little girl on the other side suddenly talk about bartending?Who broke it?

"No, these don't need to be learned, especially that...'bartending'."

Subconsciously accentuating the pronunciation of the last two words, Jianren Qihai resisted the thought of questioning directly, and finished the rest of his words.

"I mean, because of work, I won't be at home most of the time, but don't worry, I will prepare lunch in advance, and I will come back as soon as possible after work. Even if I work overtime, I will tell you in advance."

For example, some gatherings among employees can be postponed, and if you explain the situation, if you finish all the work by yourself, your boss should also be able to understand that you don't work overtime.

"...and the question of your going to school."

Qihai Jianren's voice paused, recalling Sanyuankui's strange remarks about the school before, he was not surprised that he would go to school at all.

"Already here, your original school is too far away from here, so you need to transfer."

At least a fresh start.

"go to school?"

Sanyuankui repeated this unfamiliar word softly, and was also very unfamiliar with this place.

There is also the 'original school', which was not mentioned in the information provided by the system. Is it too general so it is omitted?

But she has never been to school, and she doesn't know the process of going to school at all, and it is said that there are many people, and places with many people are actually... not very comfortable for beings like her and Anna who can perceive people's hearts.

Even the slightest malice can be clearly perceived, and it is precisely because of this that he doesn't like places where people talk too much.

"Do you have to go?"

Sanyuankui asked hesitantly.

"I can, stay home all the time."

"Why don't you want to go? Do you not like school?"

Jianren Qihai still couldn't help asking, not because he wanted to poke the wound, but because it was something that had to be dealt with seriously.

How can a child not go to school?

Sanyuankui: "..."

She didn't know what the school looked like. In the previous descriptions of Duo Liang, it was all about some interesting things he encountered when he was in school. As for the learning content...

Is it okay to form a group to peek at the female teacher changing clothes?

Sanyuankui fell into deep thought.

Although Tatara will teach himself and Anna a lot of things together with Kusanagi, but because the things taught are everything, from the experiment of whether the microwave oven can heat eggs to the operation and application of the camera, to how to use numerical formulas to solve problems, and even how to Pick out the sweetest watermelon in the melon field...

Instead, she didn't know which one would be taught in school.

But looking at Qihai's appearance, the setting here is that I went to school before...

Sanyuankui held back heavily for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason why she could refuse the other party, but also legitimate and not unreasonable.

But being able to live in and observe nearby is already very good, the big deal is to put the observation time at night.

In the end, she could only agree with worry.

——although still expressionless.

"……I see."

Going to school... shouldn't be difficult, right?Everyone in Barbara has gone to school. Will the school teach her how to wash clothes and cook?Hatta is very good at fighting with skateboards, he must have learned it in school, right?Fushimi is very good at using computers, and he must have learned it in school.

Hatta used to say that he and Fushimi had defeated many people in school together, so - school should be a place where students who study form a team and fight each other with the abilities they have learned!

There are fights every day, and only the best team can walk out of the school, graduating with honors, just like respecting them.

if so……

Sanyuankui made up her mind.

"I'll try to beat the others."

Won't lose Barbara's face!

Qihai Jianren:? ? ?

What beats?beat who?

All of a sudden, Jianren Qihai only felt that something was wrong and didn't know where to start. He could only subconsciously ask the most likely answer in a slightly erratic voice.

"score?"

"Ah."

Sanyuankui nodded seriously, and even comforted Jianren Qihai in turn.

"Don't worry, you won't lose face."

shame?Could it be that the real reason is the problem of academic performance?

I don't know what kind of deep-rooted but reasonable misunderstanding Sanyuankui has had about the school. Qihai Jianren sees the other party nodding, and it's not easy to keep asking this question.

Forget it, let's focus on communicating with the head teacher then.

He thought silently, and prepared in his heart for unexpected accidents.

"Then, one last point."

Qihai Jianren asked a question that he was very concerned about from the very beginning.

"It's about Aoi's ability."

Whether it was the way the other party directly found the company that day or the vague feeling of being spied on, Qihai Jianren was very concerned.This proves one thing, that is, the other party at least understands how to use this ability.

Sanyuankui: "..."

Sure enough, I still asked, why do you like to ask this so much?But it is impossible to say, Anna was forced because of her ability, and she still vividly remembers it.

Sanyuankui resolutely chose to put a face down, staring straight ahead with blank eyes, like a sparrow sitting in a daze on the treetops, staring at the void, motionless.

That's pretty obvious.

ability?Don't know, don't know, don't ask me!

"Although people with magic power are rare, they are not uncommon. I didn't go into too much detail last time due to time constraints, but trust me, Aoi."

Jianren Qihai showed obvious mana fluctuations, proving it to Sanyuankui.

"Conjurers also have special schools to train students. This is a kind of..."

He subconsciously paused before saying the following words.

"It's a talent."

Compared with ordinary people, conjurers are too many to say that they are one in a million.

Sanyuankui: "..."

She silently glanced at Jianren Qihai who explained to herself,

The special fluctuation can be felt, but that is only because of her perception.

Superpowers are different from the "spell power" that the other party said. In the world she lives in, all superpowers come from an existence called the Dresden Stone Slab.

The slate grants individual life abilities, and this connection has not weakened even if it crosses the world.

And the magic power...

Sanyuankui lowered her head and hesitantly put her hand into her pocket, and took out the marbles she carried with her. She raised her eyes to look at Jianren Qihai who was somewhat complicated for some reason, and slowly raised her hand holding the marbles.

Anyway, the other party already knew about it, so if you just take a look...

Under Qihai Jianren's gaze, Sanyuankui placed the blue marble in front of his right eye, and he saw the other party squinting his left eye, looking at him through the blue.

The activation of the ability is related to the marbles?Is it a required tool?At present, it seems that there is nothing special about the marble itself. Whether it is seen or felt, it is just an ordinary glass bead.

In the next second, slightly, just like in the office at the beginning, a faint feeling of being watched, which ordinary people can never find, reappeared in the senses.

Qihai Jianren's body tensed subconsciously, but his eyes were looking at Sanyuankui thoughtfully.

It's a little strange, I have used my ability, but I don't feel the slightest magic power...

Sanyuankui was observing the operation of the mantra in Qihai Jianren's body.

In the original time, she just simply observed the other party's actions, just like she and Anna held up a video camera and followed Zun to record the video, and she didn't look deeply.

She didn't do anything like the deeper things that abilities can do, such as highly sensitive things that directly look at people's spiritual links.

Because in the previous world, after she knew about the supernatural power, she directly asked Sakunosuke if she could establish a spiritual link with herself, so that both people would get to know each other through this spiritual link, and her favorability could definitely be surpassed. A few strides.

Sakunosuke agreed, and she then had a night of nightmares (but was fine the next day [emphasis]).

It’s not because of Oda Sakunosuke’s past, but those memories that he accidentally saw are completely different from the failed experiments or semi-finished products in the laboratory, such as half-human, half-beast and other weird existences, full of mutilated limbs The tragic scene of the war really shocked her.

After this time, she was directly taught seriously by the other party that she must never do such things casually again.

The world behind the marbles is a colorful world with normal colors. Sanyuankui just stared at Jianren Nanami's body, and soon saw the so-called mantra.

Completely different from superpowers, the abilities called mantras are flowing in Qihai Jianren's body, but the source of them is...

She continued to go deeper, and finally found the source of this circular mantra.

—It is emotion.

Something that is completely composed of negative emotions, just like... the existence outside that the other party calls the magic spirit.

completely different system.

Sanyuankui put down the marbles, just shook his head, and only said one word.

"I understand."

I just understand, but if the other party wants to send her to that magic school, it will definitely not work.

Thinking of this, Sanyuankui added another sentence.

"I don't learn spells... conjurers."

Qihai Jianren: "..."

So it's still not revealed, right?

Jianren Qihai felt a headache for a while. He could deal with a client or a contract for half an hour, but when facing a little girl like Sanyuankui, he couldn't use tough things at all.

You can't force people to say it, right?

At least the fact that she doesn't want to be a magician can save her a lot of trouble in the future, and she will always know after getting along for a long time, after all, this is the first day of getting along.

Qihai Jianren looked at Sanyuankui for a while, and gave a warning.

"It's best not to use it to look at people casually. If something happens because of this, you must notify me."

"Ah."

Sanyuankui nodded obediently.

Let's just believe it, Qihai Jianren thought.

At least until now, the other party is generally very sensible. Because of his work, he is used to explaining everything clearly from the beginning, but from the perspective of the other child, he is just an adopted child. Her strange relatives.

"Then I will take care of the school affairs in the next two days, but because of work, can you stay at home temporarily for a few days? Or I can find a trusteeship place to store you there during the day."

Although it is not good to leave a 12-year-old child alone at home, but the social animal is so helpless, and he has indeed asked for enough leave this time.

Jianren Qihai shook his head when he saw Sanyuankui, and said two words softly.

"Home."

So……

He weighed it in his heart, and spoke out his next plan in an orderly manner.

"I will prepare breakfast and lunch before I go to work. I don't have much work these days, and it shouldn't be too late to get off work. You..."

He paused and asked.

"Is there anything you want to eat tomorrow night?"

Then, Nanami Jianren got a quicker answer than nodding,

"blueberry jam!"

Qihai Jianren: "..."

This kind of obsession... Should I lock the cupboard where the blueberry jam is stored before I leave tomorrow?

The day that made Qi Haijian bald was finally over. On the second day, he silently stared at the extra golden hairs on the pillow, and went to wash his face expressionlessly.

Why does it feel like there are one or two more than usual?

Washing up and preparing breakfast, everything is the same as usual, except that the weight is different from the little girl standing at the door like a cat watching secretly, with only half of her body exposed, reminding him of the reality.

Fried eggs, ham, slices of bread, and of course the one the other party is most looking forward to.

Under the eager eyes of Sanyuankui, Jianren Qihai took out the jar of blueberry jam that seemed to be shining with holy light from the closet.

After eating, give detailed instructions on what to do and what not to do, and then go to work.

It wasn't until people started to get busy in the company that Qihaijian gradually put down its worries.

noon.

"Mr. Seven Seas."

Kiyotaka Tsuruta took his food with a smile, glanced at the documents on the other side's desk, and sat next to Nanami Kento.

"I always feel that you are more efficient today than usual."

"Just as usual..."

Qihaijian people don't feel that there is any difference between themselves and ordinary days.

"is it?"

Tsuruta Kiyotaka nodded, and the next sentence directly revealed his intention of coming.

"I wonder how Qihai-kun was doing yesterday?"

Jianren Qihai paused the hand holding the bread, and looked at Kiyotaka Tsuruta with complicated eyes.

Tsuruta-senpai, when did you become such a gossip?

"Because everyone has been discussing in the chat group for several days. Of course, there are also my private thoughts."

Tsuruta Kiyotaka directly confessed to Lao Di.

"Although you really have nothing to say about your work, Mr. Qihai, but because you are too serious, it makes me more worried. I am still thinking what to do if Mr. Qihai scares the children because of being too serious? Do you want me to have someone in my family?" The seniors of the two children will support and guide them."

Novice dads will be in a hurry. Although the other party directly raises a 12-year-old, he is also a novice in raising children.

Among other things, he is definitely experienced in how to get along with children.

"I……"

Jianren Qihai frowned and questioned his soul.

"Is it serious?"

He just doesn't think there is anything ridiculous, doesn't he look very reliable like this?Occasionally, when he heard his juniors talk about him, he always described him as "reliable".

Qihai Jianren has a clear understanding that it is impossible for him to exude the aura of casting a spell in the company, so he will be serious, but he must not be too serious.

Kiyotaka Tsuruta:? ? ?

What kind of expression do you have all the time? Do you have no points in your heart?Think back to yourself, I have taught your seniors since you entered the job, and I have not seen you smile a few times in so many years.

Key points: The unit of measurement is year, and the number of times can be counted on one hand.

Now those juniors in the company all think you are a facial paralysis!

"If you face a child with that look."

Tsuruta Kiyotaka felt as if he saw the tragic relationship between "father and daughter" in Nanami Jianren's family.

"I won't say anything else, at least most children won't want to get close."

Anyway, most of the head teachers of elementary school students and kindergartens are good-tempered and gentle.

"I understand."

After listening to Tsuruta Kiyotaka's words, Qihai Jianren carefully recalled his getting along with Sanyuan Kui, and then found...

They get along pretty well, obviously.

Except for not asking about the other party's ability, the other party is very cooperative in everything else, and he is also a quiet person. He can play marbles for a long time while sitting alone.

There is no question of whether to be intimidated or not.

Therefore, Qihai Jianren answered firmly.

"I get along very well with Aoi."

"very good?"

Tsuruta Kiyotaka was taken aback for a moment, he looked at Qihai Jianren's serious eyes, and couldn't help chuckling.

"It seems that I can start to look forward to it."

Qihai Jianren:?

Kiyotaka Tsuruta gave a meaningful answer.

"Looking forward to the 'busy' of Nanami-kun in the future."

Children who are not afraid of being cold-faced and belong to a small group can get along well with Qihai-kun, they must be a warm and enthusiastic child, like a little sun.

With such a child, Qi Haijun's stagnant life will definitely be lively.

Not knowing exactly what kind of misunderstanding Tsuruta Kiyotaka had about Aoi's character, Nanami Jianren frowned and thought about what the other party said was "busy", and after a while he only came to a conclusion.

Probably...it was because he was busy taking care of the children when he and Aoi lived together?

But it shouldn't be a problem. He has read a lot of books on how to get along with children, and has also received a lot of experience from his predecessors. At least there will be no such unreliable behavior as rushing around.

however--

Qihai Jianren did not expect that this "trouble" came so early.

On the second night of living together, Jianren Qihai woke up from a dream.

The content of the dream can’t be said to be a nightmare at all, but the lingering feeling of just observing without any malice is enough to make Jianren Nanami, who has not been a conjurer but is still experienced in many battles, sharply vigilant. Get out of sleep.

and……

He looked towards the door expressionlessly, confirming that the feeling was not just a dream, but something that really existed.

Not only that, but even very arrogant without any intention of taking it back, it has a straightforward meaning of "I look at mine, you continue to sleep".

Jianren Qihai raised his hand and pressed his forehead, feeling that he really underestimated the advice of his senior.

After all, seniors don't know that Aoi is not an ordinary child at all, but a child with unknown abilities who probably possesses spells.
