distant light

"I'm here to apply for the job. I'm sorry I'm late. I'm really sorry!" Before I opened the store door and bowed deeply to apologize, I exclaimed happily, "Oh my God, I finally got something to see." "Then a black shadow rushed over with lightning speed, "You are here to apply for the job, hurry up and change into this suit, this is the interview~!" Then he pushed me into the locker room... the whole process I only glanced at a tall and beautiful girl lazily leaning on the counter, with an eager look on her face, the one who pushed me was a petite and cute girl who was completely inversely proportional to her strength. Thank you and say goodbye, why are you so excited...

Then the cute girl who called herself "Asakura Minami, just call me Xiaonan" kept saying "Many people who applied for the rain today didn't show up"

"Finally, a few of them are not from the nearby schools. Every time I have to drive a long way to come here. Although I vowed not to be late or absent from work, Mingyue said that every day will be very busy, but I still don't trust their promise."

"The later ones were from nearby schools, but Mingyue said they were too shabby to be able to take care of them."

"If you try this dress, it's you. Well, I think if it's you, Mingyue won't say it's shabby."

...While talking to myself that made me tremble with fear, she helped me put on that complicated ball of cloth that I couldn't see what it was—I didn't know until a long time later that it was called a maid's attire.Xiaonan's interest is fashion design and Mingyue's is cooking. Both of them are daughters and opened this shop when they have nothing to do. Of course, these are things for later.The current situation is that there is no mirror in the lounge, so I have been brewing emotions for a long time after I got dressed, and I am almost at the point where I clenched my fists and raised my head to the sky and shouted "It's just sticking out my head and chopping it, I will be a good man in my next life" , was finally pushed out by Xiao Nan who was impatient to wait—while staggering forward, he clasped his hands in his heart and sincerely prayed for a little more attention—

You must know that my fate this month is completely determined by this strange outfit!

...Then the dessert shop, which had been closed for business, fell silent for a moment.

I nervously tugged at the hem of my short skirt, "Is this... weird?" No one said anything.

In despair, I seem to have heard the cost of living waving to me and saying goodbye... I bit my lip nervously, mustered up the courage to raise my head, and what caught my eyes was not the moon-mingling girl with the aura of a queen, but...

The bristly-haired boy sitting on the chair looked at me gently, and there seemed to be a flash of... amazement?Uh... Well, I admit that I was being sentimental, because he stood up as if nothing had happened, with a casual smile as usual, "It's very suitable for Toyama-san."

"Thanks...cough," I was suddenly slapped heavily on the shoulder by the Queen's aura of the Moonlight Girl next to me, making my body tremble twice.

"That's right, it's you!"

...So, the part-time job was so inexplicably finalized.

"Thank you so much today, Mr. Xiandao," after finishing the part-time job and bidding farewell to the two of them.Walking out of the small shop, I smiled and said to Xian Daozhang, "I was dragged in by Xiao Nan just now and didn't have time to thank you. I'm really sorry." stay outside all the time...

He explained, "I was just a little hungry, so I ate some desserts there by the way-it tasted good." The smile was extraordinarily bright and dazzling in the still gloomy evening after the rain.

But I couldn't help shaking... Why is he smiling like he knows what I'm thinking...

I rubbed my nose subconsciously and laughed dryly, "That's right, hehe...ah," I glanced outside, and couldn't help exhaling joyfully, "Great, the rain has stopped!"

"Then," I turned to him and bowed slightly, "Thank you Xiandao Lord today! I'll take my leave first."

"You're welcome," he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, and his lazy eyes gave me the illusion of being extremely sharp for a moment, "Yu Shang-san's etiquette is learned very well."

Only then did I suddenly realize how standard and polite my actions are, it can be used as an illustration in an etiquette book.He was startled and was about to explain, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and said goodbye, "Goodbye."

call……

I was relieved not to need an explanation.But... for Sendo Akira, who has keen observation skills, I think it's better not to say goodbye.

As soon as I walked out of Xiandao Akira's field of vision, I was excited when I thought that the part-time job was settled, the living expenses were settled, and the most important thing was that I would no longer have to eat the goddamn instant noodles...

I couldn't help swinging my schoolbag in circles on the street, and in the state of excitement, I didn't realize that what I was betting on was the contemptuous looks of "this is a madman" from the people around me. Cheered, "There is no hurdle in life that cannot be buried, ohye!"

... From this we can see how deeply I was poisoned by instant noodles, what a crime.

7. Facts have proved that the chance that Amaterasu, who controls everything, will make your wish come true is not much higher than the chance that you won the grand prize without buying a lottery ticket.

Just when I thought that I and Xiandao Akira just met once, and then... there is no after!when.

8. "Welcome!" The crisp wind chime indicated the arrival of the guests. I, who was immersed in making income statistics, immediately raised my head and showed the signature smile that Queen Mingyue called "Showing Eight Shining White Teeth". The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously when he saw the person coming, "... Lord Xiandao came to buy cakes again."

…That’s right, ever since I quit my part-time job in the library and started working in a dessert shop, I’ve met him every few days to buy a piece of cake. I’ve never heard Xiao Cang mention Xiandao Akira’s preference for eating sweets before… …Except for the fact that there are boys who like sweets at the beginning, and this person is actually the star of Lingnan High School, Sendo Akira, which made me twitch a little—after a few times, I got used to seeing him every few days—smiled knowingly, from He took out a matcha cake from the glass cabinet and handed it over, "Here, it's just out of the oven, it's still hot."

"Thank you," with his unique upturned hair, handsome appearance, and a consistent slightly uninhibited smile on the corner of his mouth, even I, who has read countless people, subconsciously trembled twice... In other words, this boy is really good-looking Fortunately, every time he completes training in club activities for a while, people from school come to the store to buy desserts after they have dispersed. Otherwise, those girls who are obsessed with him will flock to him after seeing him. The threshold of this dessert shop is absolutely will be crushed.

When I handed over the change, he didn't answer it for a long time. I looked up wonderingly and found that he was dazed, and followed his focused gaze... Well, the neatly manicured nails showed a natural light pink color , the slender and white fingers, one can tell at a glance that they are a pair of hands suitable for playing the piano...

The gorgeous and exquisite grand piano, the elegant and beautiful starting style, and the dancing and smart notes echoing in the ears...

Why am I distracted at this time, baga!

I quickly withdrew my hand, and he came back to his senses and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, because your fingers are beautiful, so I"

"I understand, I understand" After the crisp wind chimes, I caught a glimpse of the person coming, and I quickly nodded to stop him from saying anything that would be used by some people to enrich his imagination in a mess, and put the money into his hand again, "Shop Manager Mingyue, you I'm here to change shifts, then I'll go back and see you later." Turning around, I ran to the locker room as if flying... I definitely didn't see Queen Mingyue's teasing eyes!did not see it!

Ever since I saw Xiandao Akira who came with me during the interview, he came to buy cakes every few days and each time happened to be on duty, Mingyue and Xiaonan firmly believed that Xiandao Akira wanted to Chasing me... I explained to them earnestly that if Akira Xiandao is a noble floating cloud in the sky and I am a puddle of mud on the ground, to be honest, I almost beat my chest and swear that he has no such heart for me and I have no feelings for me. Popular lovers are even less interested...

But just as I spared no effort to explain that there will never be any development between me and Xiandao, Mingyue Xiaonan also spared no effort to try to deal with him and me... Specifically, when Xiandao came over for the second time, I just brought out the matcha cake. I heard Xiao Nan say innocently, "This is a cake made by Yaoyao herself"—I tried to make this batch of cakes. At first, I didn't understand why she brought it up on purpose, but the countless meaningful words later... It hit my pure and fragile heart deeply.

"Xiandao, you are here again, do you think Yaoyao's craftsmanship is good? Our Yaoyao is not only beautiful, but also ingenious"

"You came late today and have been waiting for you for a long time"

"Xiandao, why haven't you come these days? Yaoyao has left cakes for you."

... The so-called "waiting for you for a long time" means that Mingyue asked me to work overtime because the business was very good one day, and the so-called "leaving you a cake" means that the cake was not sold out that day. If Xiandao came today, this cake would not be sold. wasted……

After a few shifts and encountering such a situation that made me want to cry, I could only run away when I saw the figures of the two adults...

Can I resist?

No.

...Because the one who pays the salary is the uncle...

After changing into casual clothes and coming out, Xiandao Akira had already left.When I bid farewell to Mingyue, she stared at me with meaningful eyes and a chilling smile...

"Xiandaojun said he doesn't like sweets."

For a moment, I felt like I was frozen into a plaster statue.

"However, he later said that he often came to the store because he was asked by his younger sister in the upper middle school."

...Mingyue, you're going to die after finishing a sentence in one breath, you!Flip the table!

"Do you have any other thoughts about him? Why are you so nervous?!"

I was silent for a long time, and then said leisurely, "Being the public enemy of the girls in school is absolutely not included in my annual plan - I'm just an ordinary girl, I don't want any troubles to disturb my life - I work two jobs a day I still have to study, and I don’t think I have any spare time.”

It is estimated that my expression at that time was reflected in Mingyue 100 Baidu's myopia plus more than [-] astigmatism, and I still insisted on refusing to wear glasses. The illusion turned into vicissitudes or melancholy, etc. Afterwards, the two of them never tried hard to match me and Xiandao again. Zhang.

…If I had known that such a simple solution could be solved, I would have pretended to be depressed a long time ago…However, it was really the first time in so many years that I, who was stubborn and self-willed, said something that could be called showing weakness to others.
