Daily overtime in winery

========================

Chie knew nothing about the conversations that took place in the classroom.

After expressing to the black lord Huiyan that he can stay overnight, "Good Papa" expressed his full happiness, and Yuki also expressed that he wanted to sleep with Chie.

Chie responded, and took the opportunity to ask to borrow the phone, and then learned from the chairman that mobile phones are contraband, so signal shielding devices are installed everywhere in the school, and only internal calls can be made.

Fortunately, she still remembered Gin's phone number, and thought that he would not answer such an unknown number, but the call was only connected after one ring.

"McCullen?"

At this time, the voice from Gin seemed so kind, even if he only called the code name, it would be extremely kind.

"Well, it's me."

Chie was almost moved to the point of crying. It was only half the night, but she was like a child who hasn't come home after many years talking to her parents for the first time. Anyway, she was moved and uncomfortable.

Hearing something wrong in her tone, Gin asked, "What's going on? Isn't it 12 o'clock as promised?"

Chie glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already 11:59, she heard the sound of Gin opening and closing the car door, she didn't need to think to know that she didn't go back on time, Gin came to find her now.

"Listen to me, the thing is like this," Chie took a deep breath, "For various reasons, my phone..."

"how?"

"I fell into the water..." Chie felt like she was going to cry stupidly.

"..." Sure enough, Gin over there was also silent.

There was no one around, and Chie also bluntly expressed her thoughts: "Gin, I want to stay here for one night."

After a pause for a few seconds, Gin's voice seemed dissatisfied: "The agreed time is 12 o'clock, I will pick you up."

Hearing that the master's tone was getting upset, Chie had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "That's right, I found some useful clues, but I must find a chance, give me one night, and I will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning To find you, with or without clues."

It’s not that she didn’t want to, it’s just that Chie subconsciously felt——

Once this opportunity is missed, it may be even more difficult next time.

In the end, Gin still took the pigeon she released. Chie thanked Dade and said that he would definitely go down the mountain before ten o'clock tomorrow so that he could find a hotel or something first.

Thinking of him waiting for her in the car in the cold weather for most of the night and she letting him go... Chie felt a little guilty and distressed.

Maybe she could go back and "comfort" him?

She had no idea that she was the only one in the entire organization who dared to release Gin as a dove.

Originally, the black master Huiyan cleaned up the room where Vivienne lived before, but he couldn't resist Yuki's insistence, and Chie was too embarrassed to refuse the child, so she agreed to sleep with Yuki with half-heartedness.

"Don't talk too late, You Ji, you have to go to work early tomorrow morning." Before turning off the lights, the director did not forget to remind again.

"I know, I can get up." Yuuki huddled under the quilt, only showing a pair of eyes, and said in a muffled voice.

"Good night, Yuki, Vivian." The chairman smiled and left the room and closed the door.

"Good night, Chairman~"

After confirming that she would not be checked by her old father again, You Ji quickly turned on the switch of the bedside lamp. She was obviously very tired, but she looked very excited at this moment, her eyes were wide open.

"Sister Vivienne," she looked at the dead Chie without blinking, "tell me about where you have been all these years."

"I...just, part-time job..." Chie twitched her lips.

"work to earn a living?"

"Well, work."

"What kind of job?"

"Moving bricks."

"Moving bricks?" You Ji was stunned for a moment, then recovered, pursed her mouth and complained, "Sister Vivienne, you are fooling me again, you don't look like you can move bricks at a construction site at all."

"Employees are like bricks, and the leader can move them where they need to go." Chie said, "Probably because there is no rest from 9 am to 9 pm throughout the year."

"Ah? Isn't that very hard?" Yuuki was a little surprised, "Even Zero and I have vacations."

"You are the ones who are very strange. You should study hard in high school. Why do you have to work so hard at night to be a disciplinary committee member?" Qiane even has reason to suspect that the black master Hui Yan is relying on her adopted son and daughter to do things. Keep squeezing the labor force, otherwise it would have been complained.

"Because it's the link between vampires and humans, the guardian of the academy..."

"to be frank."

"The wages are high."

"Listen to my advice," Chie said with a vicissitudes of life, "you should have fun when you are young, and fall in love while you are young, and you will have more days to work in the future. It's not bad for a while."

"Ahaha... At least as a guardian, I also want humans and vampires to live in peace..."

Chie sighed faintly and said, "You see, I don't have such lofty ideals as yours. Now I just want to make money and try to save a house and lie down with peace of mind."

"Sister Vivienne, what have you experienced..." Probably stunned by the smell of social animals exuding from the lifeless salted fish in front of her, You Ji couldn't help but questioned her soul.

"It's just the perception of social animals..." Chie covered her face, then turned her face and said, "Stop talking about these insomnia-inducing topics, why don't you talk about it?"

"Huh? Say what?"

"That 'shu', tell me everything you know," Chie thought for a while and added, "If he is a lifesaver, tell me, maybe I can remember something."

It is definitely impossible to think of it, at least you have to know a little useful information.

Even though she felt that Gojo Satoru knew more, Chie didn't want to ask him any more.

"Senior Shu..." Yuuki turned over with her pillow in her arms, and seemed to be thinking about her words, "He is a very gentle person..."

"Isn't it a vampire?"

"That's right, no, it's that kind, it feels very different from ordinary vampires," Yuuki shook her head, "but sometimes I feel that he always seems to be very sad."

"Oh, I see. Is it the kind of melancholy Wen Qing? I know this one well." Chie snapped her fingers.

"No!" You Ji quickly denied it coquettishly, "Sister Vivienne is really, why do you remember this sentence if you don't remember anything else?"

"Huh? Did you say that before?" Chie was taken aback.

Good guy, in some respects, she has reached a consensus with the original Ogiwara Chie?

"I remember it was spring. It was the first spring since I had memory after amnesia," Yuki said. "At that time, there was a cherry blossom tree at the gate of the old school building, and Senior Shu was standing under the cherry blossom tree. A beautiful picture is coming..."

In the end, it was completely ruined by Vivian's sentence "Are you cosplaying Dazai Ji?"

Of course, I didn't mean Osamu Kurodazai, but I just felt that vampires didn't fit well with that scene.

At that time, Vivienne seemed to insist that Jiulanshu was more suitable for withered roses, or dried flowers sealed in amber. , he is more like an ancient eternity engraved by time in light and shadow, a decaying eternity.

When Yuuki was talking intermittently about Jiulanshu, such thoughts appeared in Chie's mind.

Very strange.

There will be no such person as Jiu Lanshu in her memory, that was the original Ogiwara Chie contacted, that's how it should be.

But the sour feeling deep in her heart, whenever it was mentioned that he was quietly watching somewhere with gentle eyes, Chie felt that he should be looking at someone through something.

This feeling is inexplicable, and the idea is also groundless.

Chie felt that it was really necessary for her to meet Jiu Lanshu tomorrow.

According to Yuki, every morning when the school building is handed over, she will go to the teaching building to register the vampire's information and attendance, which means that Chie's chance will be tomorrow morning.

She can go to the dormitory door of the night department to squat.

Although it is said that it is necessary to face a group of vampires... but if they are all like Takuma tonight... it is not unacceptable.

She thought well, but she underestimated the extent of her mental exhaustion, so that she didn't notice it when Yuki woke up in the early hours of the morning a few hours later.

This is the pain of not having a mobile phone alarm clock!

However, relying on the tenacious willpower of the workers, she still forcibly got up from the warm bed.

In the early morning of winter, the sun has not yet risen, and there is only a dim twilight in the sky.

When wandering around yesterday, I saw the night dormitory on the other side of the artificial lake from a distance. Chie reckoned that the time was almost there, and she should have time to go to the road for a stop now.

So he sneaked towards the dormitory of the night department like a thief, and didn't even think about going in directly, after all, there seemed to be a guard at the door.

More importantly, she felt that she should be able to recognize who would be that "Jiu Lanshu".

And it turns out that this is indeed the case. When Chie was standing by the gate and was about to freeze into an ice sculpture in the cold wind, a person who could still wear a miniskirt and stockings in the cold weather, and a person wearing a single shirt on the upper body appeared——Don’t think about it. Knowing that this must not be a normal creature.

"Human?" A blond-haired blue-eyed boy among the vampires frowned, walked over to Chie who was shivering, and even sniffed, "Why is there a strange human here? The smell is so strange. Hey ,who are you?"

"First of all, I'm not calling hello, and secondly, I'm not here to look for you." Chie tremblingly looked at the fangs in the vampire boy's mouth that were inadvertently revealed while speaking, even fearing that this thing might become sharper and longer look...

stop!Can't think about it anymore!

"What, you bastard, you're just a mere human—"

Feeling ignored and offended, Lan Tangying didn't feel that her words seemed to reveal any serious facts.

Did it never occur to him that there might be people who didn't know they were vampires?

"Aren't you human?" Chie looked at him.

"Of course I'm not—"

The blond boy got stuck in the middle of speaking.

He seemed to realize belatedly that he had said the wrong thing.

A red-haired vampire with different eyes behind said lazily, "Ah, that's so ugly."

The girl with golden double ponytails and blue pupils beside her also echoed with a lazy look: "Idiot."

"You two—"

It's not a day or two since her companions have ridiculed her, but Lan Tangying still feels a bit embarrassed by being ridiculed like this in front of a human being.

But Qiane didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and she didn't have the guts, she could only look at the tall black-haired guy in the middle of the crowd, and asked bravely: "I'm here to find Jiu Lanshu, may you be Jiu Lanshu?" ?"

"Look for me, what's the matter?" the black-haired guy asked.

The black-haired vampire has an overly handsome face of unknown age, and a pair of dark red eyes. Those eyes are just like that. They seem to be looking at Chie with very gentle eyes, but Chie's mind is stuck for a moment. , can't say a word.

An eternity of withering and decay.

Such adjectives came to Chie's mind again.

She looked at the vampire in front of her and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word at this moment when she had prepared the question.

This is strange.

Maybe it's because he was smiling, but that smile didn't have any warmth, it was colder than this winter's wind, and under the gentle expression was a polite and distant repulsion.

Indeed, as Yuki said, there seems to be an essential difference between him and other vampires.

But Chie didn't quite understand what the difference was.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Jiu Lanshu seemed unwilling to stay longer, but chose to pass her by.

At this moment, Chie finally found her tongue and said loudly, "Please wait!"

The vampire stopped, but didn't look back.

"Wait a minute," Chie breathed out, as if all her strength had been exhausted just now, "I have something I want to ask you, so I will waste your time for a few minutes."

"I know what you're going to ask, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you, because I don't have an answer, and it's not yet time."

His footsteps only paused slightly between such a sentence, and then he entered the dormitory without looking back.

The iron door of the Moon House made a dull sound, and the vampire who disappeared through the gap seemed to be at the end of a distant time. The moment the gap closed, the last ties were broken.

Chie only felt a "thump" in her heart, followed by deep despair.

This vampire looked like he couldn't communicate at all. He made it clear that he knew something but didn't tell her.

Both of them like to play tricks, what's not the time and what not, they just don't want to tell her, right?What is there to hide?She really doesn't understand.

But what to do?It's impossible for her to stalk and chase into the dormitory over the wall, right?

She doesn't have the strength just to climb over the wall. If it's okay for humans, there are a group of vampires inside... She is crazy to send herself in as food.

Could it just stop there?

Chie scratched the wall unwillingly, but had to accept this fact.

She comforted her that he also had his own considerations, maybe the truth would affect his interests?Whether you are a human or a vampire, if you are not a saint, your own interests are indeed very important.

Yes, she can understand.

Returning to the small villa of the black master Huiyan with a heavy heart, after saying goodbye to the black master Huiyan, even though the black master Huiyan was already trying to persuade her to stay, she insisted on leaving.

However, he also half-heartedly promised to come back every month, so that the black master Hui Yan reluctantly let her go.

He still didn't tell Qiane about Jiu Lanshu.

It's weird isn't it?

Climbing down the steps along the mountain road when I came here, the golden red color hits the steps, looking in the direction of the wind, the dawn is breaking, the morning glow is hanging in the sky, and the golden red sun is rising from the horizon.

A new day begins.

At this moment, Chie suddenly felt that perhaps she should not have been obsessed with the past that does not belong to her, and the life that belongs to her now has just begun.

Is it more important to live in the moment?Even if there are unknown dangers in the future, can she calmly face them in the best state?

She saw the end of the steps at the foot of the hill, where the striking black Porsche was parked.

Gin leaned against the side of the car, as if he had just arrived, but also seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Chie jumped down the last few steps in three steps at a time, and—

He threw himself into his arms.
