Sword Raiders II

The morning light was long, shining on the falling snow outside the courtyard, making the whole house brighter.

[-]. Yu Li's mood became clearer at the same time.

"What is... on your shoulder?"

In the dining room, the servant Chang Yi stared at the little black fur ball demon standing on the Lord's shoulder, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"It's Heiji." Yu Li, who was having breakfast, replied with a smile, "You should have heard about it from Candlestick Cut and the others. I once raised a little demon, that's it."

She raised her hand while she was talking, and the black fur ball on her shoulders fell obediently into her palm, but the black ball had a pair of bean eyes blinking, and it had a somewhat naive and cute appearance.

"It's a small traveling monster called Mou. Because it's too weak, it always appears in groups. Heiji will be left alone because it is black, which is the opposite of the pure white appearance of other siblings. It has a nightmare on its body. blood, so they were expelled from the ethnic group and drifted to me."

When talking about being excluded from the ethnic group, Yu Li's eyes flashed, and then his smile became brighter.

"Heiji and the Tibetan knives and I have been living in this house. Then one day Heiji said that he felt something saying that he was going to travel far to awaken his blood, and then he left me.... At that time, I really I thought I might not see it for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect it to come back after more than a year. You won't leave this time, Heiji?"

The last sentence was for the black fur ball in the palm, and the other party jumped up and gave Yu Li an affectionate lick on the face, so Yu Li was even happier.

"Great, I almost really thought that I would just run away with whatever I raised, so don't go out for so long in the future!"

Maoqiu and Yuli rubbed each other happily, and the other creatures in the other world suddenly felt a little uncomfortable because they were so intimate.

However, thinking of the master's gloomy and tired face last night because of the other side of the soul world, and seeing the mood healed by the lost and recovered domestic demon today, he quickly accepted it.

"According to what you said just now, it means that this fur ball... Heiji has successfully awakened the blood of Nightmare?" Chang Yi asked.

"Well, it's amazing!" Yuli, who was happy, immediately began to dazzle, "I had an unhappy dream last night, and Heiji helped me drive it away when I was very sad. We signed a contract to awaken the nightmare ability Heiji has the ability to manipulate dreams, and can freely travel through other people's dreams. There is a contractual connection, and it can also use dreams to appear beside me, no matter how far away it is. Now it will travel faster in the future. It's back on the way back!"

All the blades present: "..." Yihua

Manipulating the dream, can you return to the bonded person through the dream, this little fur ball?

I can't see it at all.

Yu Li didn't have much time to show off his travel fur ball, and he had to go to work not long after breakfast, and took the fur ball with him because ordinary people couldn't see it.

Chang Yi, who thought he was the only one accompanying him at first, said, "..."

Ah, forget it.

After Christmas, Yu Li didn't have much need to personally inspect the itinerary. As the year approached, there were only a lot of documents waiting for her to review and sign until the first day of the first lunar month.

Oh, those grand annual meetings and receptions were all pushed away by her on the grounds that she had to worry about state banquets. Years of living alone in a dead house made her not take the initiative to linger in such places unless necessary.

Although Vanity Fair is good, it is tiring.

Therefore, Changyi followed today's Yuli and could only stand on the top floor of the Xinggong Pavilion headquarters building to look at the scenery outside, otherwise, looking back, he could only see his master sitting in the luxurious president's room, flipping through documents and working quietly.

This wait is until noon, and it's time for an intermission.

"It's boring, isn't it?" Yu Li, who was dressed in a wine-red women's suit, got up from behind the desk and smiled apologetically at her valet.

Compared with the previous ones, Chang Yi, who didn’t catch up with anything, could only try to eat first-class cuisine and feast, or go to a tea ceremony family to drink tea and watch a concert at night. Changyi, who had nothing to do, could only spend time with her in the office.

"Not really." Da Dao shook his head, "After all, this kind of situation is very common in Honmaru."

Especially when the God Judge stayed longer in this world, the backlog of affairs was enough for her to bury her head at her desk for a long time.

"However, your office posture in this world is indeed very different from Honmaru." Changyi smiled at her, "In Honmaru, you are a general and monarch, and here you have the appearance of a generation of chaebols. In the Warring States Period, you at this time Its status is equivalent to that of a vassal state."

"I'll just accept this reward." Yu Li couldn't help laughing, and joked directly, "Otherwise, how can I have the right to collect knives like this?" library.

She followed Changyi's words and said it casually, but the servant couldn't help but lighten her smile.

But Yu Li didn't pay attention. At that moment, she was attracted by the bouncing movement of the black hair ball on her shoulder and looked to the other side: "Okay, let's stop talking, let's go eat."

After parting for more than a year, neither Yuli nor Heiji himself are willing to separate, so the furball monster who loves to travel by nature has been sitting obediently next to Yuli today. When she was processing documents, the black furball was lying on top of her head Fell asleep.

I didn't wake up until I heard that it was time for dinner and jumped back on my shoulders.

The Xinggong Pavilion headquarters building is talked about by many people, that is, the chefs in the staff cafeteria are all the chefs of the high-end restaurants under the company, and they rotate every three days.

That's right, it's not a cook like a chef assistant, it's a graduate-level chef from Yuanyue, and it's a star cook who is crowed and scrambled by major gourmet companies all over the world.

It is conceivable that the dishes made by them, even if it is a staff meal, are of high standard, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the world's top in the industry.

?If you are unlucky enough to work overtime, there are luxurious suppers waiting, and you pay attention to nutrition.

Only for this benefit, many elite foodies from other industries have volunteered to seek employment, not to mention that the other salaries they should have are not bad compared to their peers. The high-level lineup of the department is luxurious, and the team list can blind the eyes of many presidents and bosses.

"When I first expanded the power of the Star Palace Pavilion, I was really in a hurry for a while. I didn't understand many things at all. Thanks to the support of those elite teams, otherwise I wouldn't have achieved the current results so quickly."

Walking into the private elevator leading to the cafeteria floor, Yu Li sighed, probably because she recalled some funny scene, she laughed directly.

In fact, as the general boss, she doesn't need to go to the cafeteria in person at all, as soon as she gives orders, someone will bring the lunch directly, but in order to let Chang Yi come out and introduce the environment of the headquarters to him, Yu Li still brought People come down.

Chang Yi listened to her slightly self-deprecating exclamation, but he felt a little uncomfortable. If he hadn't been pushed to the limit, it would be impossible for a craftsman who is low-key and pursues freedom to be so high-profile.

In the final analysis, she will make progress and become stronger. At first, she just didn't want to be bullied by others.

At that time, no one could help, she could only struggle step by step by herself.

When the thoughts came to this point, Da Dao suddenly showed a shallow self-deprecating smile.

What was he thinking, regardless of the circumstances at the time? Why, there was never room for him to participate in that part of her life, she was a complete outsider.

Soon, the elevator arrived at the designated floor, and the electronic doors opened to both sides, creating a lively scene.

"Hello, President."

"Good afternoon, President!"

"Is the president coming to the cafeteria for dinner today?"

Along the way, the employees all stopped and bowed their heads to say hello respectfully. The corporate culture of Dongying Country is clearly divided, and it is necessary for the lower-ranking people to show respect and courtesy to the higher-ranking ones.

Chang Yi followed behind Yu Li, relying on his identity as a temporary assistant to quietly fend off some high-ranking men who deliberately approached him, and some of them's eager eyes made him frown unconsciously.

A bunch of ignorant guys!

But Yu Li kept walking all the way, smiling and politely rejecting a bunch of requests to eat together, and soon led the waiter to the cafeteria.

Well, it’s a cafeteria, but it’s almost the same as a super-large restaurant with no private boxes. The environment is very good, but you still have to come to the window to serve meals by yourself.

Yu Li walked over with ease, and before he had time to look at the today's menu on the wall to choose what to eat, a familiar surprised male voice sounded from behind the meal receiving window.

"Master Xinggong, are you in the headquarters building today?"

As soon as Yu Li looked up, he saw a white-haired young chef standing inside, looking at her with joy.

"Yingshi!" She also laughed, "Is it your turn to be in charge of the canteen at the headquarters these days?"

"Yes, but senior Kadozaki will be here tomorrow." The young man smiled brightly, brightening up the already clean back kitchen, and then showed annoyed expression, "I knew you were here today and I should be alone for you Prepare a dish, now..."

He started to look in the direction of the kitchen counter, with a gloomy expression that he could understand at a glance, and quickly reached out to stop him: "You don't need to cook something else, today's staff meal is pretty good, I'll pick a few and you can just bring it to me."

The boy was not very happy, but at Yu Li's insistence, he had no choice but to follow suit. When delivering it through the window, he muttered: "These are all made long ago, and they are kept warm. The taste and texture cannot be compared with freshly made ones." , it is rare for you to stay at the headquarters for dinner..."

"Yingshi, I heard Zong Mingjun said that you have made a new dish recently, and it is related to cherry blossoms. Is it true?" Yu Li smiled and changed the subject.

"Do you also know?" Si Yingshi suddenly blushed, "I don't know why, after participating in the divine grace ceremony at Asama Shrine, inspirations always burst out frequently, but many of them are related to cherry blossoms."

"It seems that the goddess of cherry blossoms likes you very much." Yu Li teased, "while God's favor is here, after confirming that there is no problem with the dishes related to cherry blossoms, you might as well send them to the shrine for an offering, maybe you can get some favors."

"How can there be such a miraculous thing?" The genius chef who was educated in materialism couldn't help laughing, "But Master Xinggong said so, I will go."

Yu Li didn't care about his thoughts, and took another staff meal for Changyi, and when he was about to leave, he heard the boy call her back.

"I also saw the news about the accident at the concert last night, are you all right?"

As soon as Si Yingshi's question came out, Yu Li laughed.

"Of course, isn't it explanatory enough to see me now? Thank you, I made you worry." This question is not only him, but also family members have asked this question in turn, so Yu Li answered quickly, "It was just an accident. Who was at the scene?" Nothing happened."

After getting the affirmation from the person concerned, the young man was relieved.

Seeing his appearance, Yu Li's heart softened, and he suddenly thought of something: "The first month is five days away, Yingshi will be 20 years old after the new year, is there any gift you want at the coming-of-age ceremony?"

Before the government changed the law, people in Japan were considered adults at the age of 20. Young people would wear orthodox kimonos and hold a coming-of-age ceremony in that year. Now the law has changed to 18 years old.

So the 19-year-old young man who is in the interval is embarrassed, and it seems that neither side can catch up.The worst thing is that the day when the law was changed was in March, and the coming-of-age ceremony is held in January every year, even if you want to have a coming-of-age ceremony with your peers who are one year older, there is no way.

Naturally, 19-year-olds can only wait for next year to hold one, which can be regarded as the last old gift.

"A gift for next year's coming-of-age ceremony?" The young man was taken aback for a moment, and then his fair cheeks gradually turned red.

The author has something to say:

Chang Yi, who was forced to act as a backdrop because of ignoring the buff: Tsk!
