[Comprehensive] Did you catch up with Qishen today?

Saiki originally planned to wander slowly back to his parents' house after eating at Sorasuke's house.

But after seeing Alice's unrestrained way of cooking and Sorasuke applauding indulgently, he resolutely dawdled for 10 minutes before leaving the door.

Considering that Yaji might observe the movement of the red dot on the screen of the mobile phone on a whim, he had to wear a collar clip and walk to his parents' residence.

Although he selfishly feels that Aji may not be as perverted as Kongsuke, but when it comes to a relationship where his identity is exposed, he must be more careful.

It took some time to return to his parents' house. Under the surprised eyes of Qi Mu and his wife, he went upstairs and put the collar clip in the drawer reserved for himself, and then went downstairs to have a meal with his parents silently.

[If I leave the collar here, I can still go home by myself. 】

[However, it is better to return the collar clip as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams. 】

【...Speaking of which, the food made by my mother is still delicious. I really don’t know how the idiot brother lived under Alice for so long...】

"Xiao Nan," Kurumi sat next to Qi Mu, looking at him with concern, "Why did you come here suddenly? Is something wrong?"

Qi Mu tilted his head to look at his mother Kurumi's worried look, and his eyes softened a lot: "It's nothing, I just came from my brother's place, and I want to have a meal at home."

"Huh... I was taken aback. I thought that Xiaonan had encountered something unhappy." Kurume breathed a sigh of relief, "How are you doing recently? Is work going well?"

"Um."

[Speaking of this, Section Chief Sazaki called me just now, but I haven't called back yet. 】

Saiki put down the bowls and chopsticks after eating, got up and sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Sasaki's number.

"Ah, section chief, I'm sorry, it's not convenient to answer the phone just now."

"Eh?"

"........."

When the phone was hung up, Qi Mu still couldn't recover.

"Xiao Nan?"

Kurumi looked at him with concern.

"What's wrong? Is it the boss's call? Asking you to work overtime?"

"...No." Saiki looked at Kurumi, 【Mom, are you a crow's mouth? 】

In the phone call just now, Sasaki's voice was very calm.

She told Qi Mu to pack up the personal belongings in the company tomorrow morning.

Because the company's capital chain is broken, and the toy products are very sluggish now, no company is willing to acquire them, and the company that has been struggling is finally unable to continue operating and can only declare bankruptcy.

After the company's second-floor office building is sold, severance pay will be issued to each of them.

Even though he knew it would be sooner or later, Qi Mu was still a little stunned.

[Ah, that means, am I unemployed? 】

"Xiao Nan?"

Saiki sighed and looked at Kurumi: "Mom, I seem to be unemployed."

"Eh??" Kurumi was taken aback, stood up immediately, and said angrily, "Xiao Nan worked so hard, which boss fired our Xiao Nan! Mom will never forgive him! I have to go to him to argue!"

"...Mom, although I'm glad you think highly of me, I lost my job because the company closed down." Saiki explained helplessly, "This means that our entire company's employees are out of work, including my boss. "

Kurumi let out an uh, her eyes drifting wildly: "This...isn't Xiaonan's fault..."

"Um."

"So don't be depressed, you can find another job if you don't have a job."

"I think so too."

"Isn't Xiao Nan very good at many things? Uh, for example... Santa Claus?"

"..." Qi Mu was speechless, "Mom, I think it's better to find a more reliable job."

Qi Mu lowered his head and flipped through his phone, and sure enough, in the blocked list, he found Fujino's wails swiping the screen in a large area.

[Fujino: Ahhh, it's too miserable, it's simply utterly tragic. ]

[Fujino: Lovelorn and unemployed, is there anything worse than me? ]

[Fujino: Now only Zhenchun's change of heart can make me feel a little bit of warmth. ]

[Fujino: I can only find a new job before the severance pay is exhausted. ]

[Fujino: Hey, Saiki, what are your plans? ]

[Fujino: Why ignore people? ... I don't know when the severance pay will be paid. It is said that it will be after the sale of the office building. If it doesn't sell, then I may starve to death. ]

[Fujino: Brother, we can only live together. ]

【Who wants to depend on you for life? ! 】

[Sai Mu: My condolences. ]

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I went out to eat ramen with my buddies."

[It's rather shocking that your love for ramen hasn't faded after so many years... oops, but I'm not qualified to say anything about others. 】

Rantang passed Qi Mu, who was eating ramen, and looked at the silver-haired man beside Qi Mu: "Oh, when did the shorty come?"

"I was there from the beginning, alright!" Haiteng said angrily, and slammed the table with his hand, "If I say anything rude again, I will use the seal on my right hand..."

[Ah, it's been almost ten years, won't this guy get tired of the middle school game? 】

Ran Tang interrupted Hai Teng's words: "It must be that the dwarf is too short so I didn't see it."

"What did you say--!"

"Here—the soy sauce ramen for the two of you."

Two bowls of ramen were placed in front of Rantang and Kaiteng.The owner of the ramen shop introduced with a smile.

"Oh, thank you boss!"

"Thank you very much!"

[The quarrel was also terminated very simply and neatly. 】

【Well, it's a trivial matter anyway. 】

Hai Teng broke apart the wooden chopsticks, murmured "I'm starting" in a low voice, picked up the ramen, let it cool down, sucked it into his mouth.

He observed Qi Mu and Ran Tang who were devoting themselves to eating ramen, and coughed lightly: "Speaking of which, the reason for calling you two together this time is because of a big event."

"Oh?" Rantang asked blankly, "What's the big deal? By the way, did you call us out?"

"Idiot! Of course it's me! Otherwise, who would call you an idiot!"

【…】

[Although when I first received Kaiteng's invitation, I thought it was just an ordinary party, after all, he looks like he can't stand loneliness. 】

【But I only found out when I came out today... so you meddle in my own business...】

"Qi Mu, I heard you lost your job."

[Look. 】

[I only learned about this news for two or three days. Where did you know it? ! 】

Ran Tang's eyes widened: "Really, buddy?!" Then he turned his head to look at Hai Teng: "But how do you know, shorty?"

"I met Totsuka, he told me." Kaiteng looked at Qi Mu's face carefully, and continued, "I didn't believe it at first, but I met Aunt Qi Mu on the street yesterday..."

"..."

[I found out yesterday that you came to ask me out today? 】

【Is your movement a little too fast? 】

[I can understand your worry after learning that your friend is unemployed, but I think as an unemployed person, staying quietly is what I want to do most now. 】

"Dude, are you really unemployed?" Rantang was stunned for a moment, then patted Qi Mu's shoulder reassuringly, "It's okay, buddies who have lost their jobs can be called my buddies!"

"..."【Rantang, your buddy standard is really full of curiosity. 】

"What are you talking about. Saiki, don't mind that fellow Rantang, he has never been able to read the air." Kaito Qimu lowered his voice by three tones, "The most urgent thing now is to find another A new job. Unemployment or something is normal, don't take it to heart."

[Well, that's pretty much what it means. 】

[Because I just lost my job, I have no idea about the new job for the time being. 】

[Although I have not yet received severance pay, I have registered unemployment and can receive three months of minimum living allowance. 】

"What's so difficult about it." Ran Tang raised his thumbs up, "Brother, go collect debts with me!"

"..."【Ah... I almost forgot that you are this kind of job...】

[I have to say that your looks are very suitable for this kind of work. 】

【But this kind of work always sounds a little disturbing...】

Hai Teng frowned tightly: "Qi Mu is so weak, to collect debts? He will definitely be hijacked by debtors, and then threaten the moneylender to tear up the papers if he continues to collect debts."

"...Kaito."

"What's wrong? Qi Mu?"

"You've watched too many weird TV shows." [And I'm not that weak, at least slightly stronger than you. 】

"In short, debt collection is not suitable for Qi Mu." Kai Teng propped his forehead in distress, lost in thought.

"Oh, is that so? Buddy? I think you are quite suitable. We can be together. With me covering you, there is nothing to be afraid of." Ran Tang seems to think that it is a good idea for Qi Mu to collect debts by himself. The idea has been persuading Qi Mu.

【Thank you very much, Rantang. 】

[But personally, I don’t really like debt collection. 】

[I failed your good intentions, sorry. 】

"Shut up, Ran Tang, instead of collecting debts, you might as well be a teacher in our cram school." Hai Teng frowned, "But what is Qi Mu good at... Qi Mu?"

[My cultural and sports scores have been in the middle since middle school, and I haven't joined clubs, so I don't have any outstanding talents. 】

Hai Teng hesitated for a while: "...Why don't I ask the staff at the front desk or lobby of our cram school tomorrow? Although it's a bit hard, we can make ends meet."

"Thank you."【I know you are thinking of me from the bottom of your heart, Kaito. 】

"It's too hard, don't let it go." Rantang had already finished eating the ramen, and touched his buttocks and chin, "Hey, buddy, why don't we form an intelligence collection group and become intelligence dealers. I heard that this is very profitable recently Yes. Recently, the rate of marriage cheating is also very high, and many wealthy wives are willing to spend money..."

"What, it's too bad." Haiteng shook his head again and again, "It's not a good thing to destroy other people's marriages, Rantang."

"What do you know! What is the difference between this kind of marriage without a trust relationship and the existence in name only?!"

"What did you say--?!"

[The term information dealer makes me a little uncomfortable. Although from my point of view, it is indeed easy to obtain information through telepathy and spiritual divination, but I don't want to do this job. 】

"Hey, Saiki, how about a job where you can help out for money?"

Kaito blushed with excitement because he thought of a good idea.

"It's the kind that will solve your troubles for you as long as you give me money? How about it?"

"..."

"It's just a little troublesome when advertising phone numbers. How about I help you spray advertising slogans on the walls in the alley?"

"...Go to hell."

[Who do you think is the Wuyuanshen who has no integrity? ! 】
