Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't dare gamble on how deeply the other person was asleep, so she could only retreat back into the room, seething with resentment.
This guy ruined his own plans; it seems he didn't assign enough homework!
It's necessary to have a serious talk with the other person's homeroom teacher later.
Meanwhile, Blackie, completely unaware of the impending doom, was fast asleep.
His lips curled up in a happy smile, as if he were having a wonderful dream.
Nothing in the night
The next morning, Toka, who had been on the verge of death all night, was suddenly revived with a radiant and healthy appearance.
But when she was about to go back to the room to wake Rikka up, she opened the door and saw the corpse that had been lying there all night. She fell silent.
No wonder I always felt like I'd forgotten something; now I know the root of the problem.
This guy is surprisingly dedicated!
Shihua's eyelids twitched, and she squatted down to gently pat Heida's face.
"Wake up, stop sleeping here, get up and go to school."
""
Hei Dai slept as if he were dead, showing absolutely no reaction, not even a change in his breathing rate.
"dinner time."
In an instant, the dragon, which had been sleeping soundly in a dream, opened its ferocious eyes and stared intently at the face before it.
After finally regaining his senses, seeing the other person's skin so moisturized it was almost glowing, Hei Dai's pupils couldn't help but tremble.
Could Jiang Qiu have had his bone marrow sucked clean?
Before she could ask anything, Shihua poked her forehead and said—
"Go wash up quickly, I'll make you breakfast later."
"Oh!!!"
All doubts and worries were instantly extinguished by Hei Dai, who excitedly jumped up and ran back to the house with his bedding.
After coaxing the guy away, Toka couldn't help but sigh.
For some reason, she had a strange sense of unease, as if she were embarking on a path of no return.
Shaking her head to force herself to stop thinking nonsense, she went back inside to greet Rikka.
It was ten minutes later when everyone finished washing up and gathered at Jiang Qiu's house.
Seeing the extra black doll on the table, Rikka and the others couldn't help but show confused expressions.
Faced with the questioning looks from everyone, Toka patted Kuroi on the shoulder and explained—
"She did me a great favor, and she deserves to be rewarded. From now on, I'll bring her an extra pair of chopsticks when we eat at home."
Did you help me a lot?
Did something terrible happen while I was sleeping last night?
Everyone stared at Hei Dai, who was happily holding his rice bowl, with suspicion, as if they had missed a crucial part of the plot.
However, they naturally welcome having multiple dining partners.
Knowing that this guy had a huge appetite, everyone shared some of their breakfast with him, making Hei Dai grin from ear to ear.
This is the reward for my perseverance!
After patting Hei Dai's head, Shi Hua didn't forget to ask—
"Is there anything you particularly like for breakfast? I can keep an eye out and prepare some for you in the future."
"Anything is okay?"
"Anything goes!"
"I love the soup dumplings with extra spice and vinegar!"
"Okay, we make this often at home, just prepare more later."
Shihua agreed and then returned to the kitchen to continue cooking the last pot of wontons.
Blackie, on the other hand, sped up his eating, and his ravenous eating left everyone stunned.
"Slow down, slow down, be careful not to choke."
"We don't eat much, no one will take it from you."
"Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh"
Blackie responded vaguely, but showed no sign of slowing down his eating speed.
There's no one here to steal from, but there's no guarantee that another starving ghost won't suddenly barge into the house due to some unexpected situation.
People must have a sense of crisis!
Meanwhile, Artoria, unaware that her people were already living a good life, received the breakfast she had ordered the night before.
A large serving of duck blood and vermicelli soup with beef, fried egg, vermicelli, and duck blood, plus a deluxe glutinous rice ball and hot soy milk.
The sheer abundance of the food left Rin Tohsaka speechless, feeling as if the dumplings in her bowl weren't even enough to fill the other person's teeth.
"what happened?"
Artoria also noticed the strange look in the other person's eyes. While slurping her noodles, she asked indistinctly.
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel like you've become more and more reckless since you found a job with room and board included."
"If you get used to this at school, it will be easy for your abnormality to be exposed."
Upon hearing this, Artoria's expression immediately changed.
I almost forgot, there are still a few starving ghosts who don't know the situation!
It's already bad enough that just one black guy came to work as a labor scoundrel; if the rest of them also came, life would be unbearable.
After a moment's hesitation, she also revealed an expression of resignation to her fate—
"I'll just eat lunch somewhere else."
Where can you hide?
"Office space! We all live in the same apartment building, so let's ask Sister Jing for help."
“Once I got there, they could never catch me.”
Rin Tohsaka's lips twitched upon hearing this. This family was so scheming and backstabbing; she had a feeling they would cause even bigger trouble in the future.
However, it won't affect me personally. What I need to deal with is whether or not I need to change my maid outfit.
Hei Dai's ruthless methods had made her feel that the situation was extremely urgent.
I can still convince myself that I have a bottom line and that my salary is enough.
But she knew that once payday came, she might not be able to withstand the stark contrast with reality.
Damn it, that despicable scab Blackie!
Rin Tohsaka, increasingly frustrated by what she was thinking, immediately clutched her head and let out a sharp, mournful cry, leaving Artoria completely stunned.
What's wrong with this guy?
"Ah chirp!!"
Blackie, who suddenly sneezed, blinked in confusion, feeling as if someone was cricketing behind him.
However, she didn't mind. After rubbing her round little belly, she drank the steaming hot soy milk with a contented expression.
This feels so good! This is the kind of life I should be living!
However, she didn't notice that Hiratsuka Shizuka was looking at her with extremely unfriendly eyes.
The way they viciously tore at the fried dough sticks was as if they were gnawing on the other person's flesh.
He was so close to succeeding, but this obstacle blocked his way.
If Himeko knew that he had chickened out so easily, she would probably laugh at him for a whole year!
Her ferocious eating habits also caught Mikasa's attention, but she didn't say much, only glancing at Jiang Qiu with a flickering look in her eyes.
The noise in the living room was a bit loud last night.
Chapter 128, Page 129: Himeko: This guy's got a really stubborn mouth.
"How's it going? Have you tasted the meat yet?"
As soon as Hiratsuka Shizuka stepped into the school office, she was met with Himeko's soul-searching question.
Seeing the curious look on her drinking buddy's face, she paused for a moment, then pretended to be nonchalant and returned to her seat.
She calmly took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, feigning an air of experience, before slowly beginning to speak—
"With me personally taking action, how could there be any possibility of failure?"
"After actually experiencing it, it's just so-so."
"real or fake?"
Himeko stared intently at Hiratsuka Shizuka, trying to detect anything amiss.
"Do you think I'd lie to you? No matter how outrageous the medical examination results are, he's still just an inexperienced young man."
"He was utterly helpless against a mature adult. I only exerted a little effort, and he started begging for mercy in pain."
Hiratsuka Shizuka spouted nonsense without batting an eye, her earnest demeanor almost making Himeko believe her.
Based on my understanding of this woman, she definitely chickened out last night!
I've been staring at him ever since he came in. His walking posture is normal, but his complexion is a bit haggard and tired. He looks like he's been scared out of his wits and hasn't slept well all night.
This guy's really stubborn.
Himeko was puzzled, but she didn't immediately expose him.
She was more concerned about the information the other party had inadvertently revealed than about uncovering the truth.
The medical examination results are outrageous?
Could it be that Jiang Qiu has some special physical constitution?
Out of curiosity, she couldn't help but tentatively ask—
"What were the details of Jiang Qiu's physical examination?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately shut her mouth, looking like she was keeping something to herself.
Although the other party swore that they would not be a cuckold and would never steal their best friend's boyfriend, there's always a chance something might happen.
Human hearts cannot withstand the test!
To prevent more dangerous situations from occurring, all potential problems must be nipped in the bud.
"It's nothing, it's just that the kid's physical condition is slightly better than normal."
"It's a pity that I didn't exercise much before, which is a bit of a waste of my good physical foundation."
Hiratsuka Shizuka responded vaguely.
She didn't dare to delve any deeper into the topic, and before Himeko could ask any further questions, she changed the subject to someone else.
"Himeko, you're also in charge of math class for Class 4, right?"
"Ugh, those kids in Class 4, they're all incredibly mischievous."
"Compared to other classes, Class 2 in Class 4 seems to be particularly rampant, constantly muttering some kind of incantation."
Himeko sighed with a headache when this was mentioned.
But as much as the kids made a fuss, they didn't actually cause any real trouble, so she could only let them be.
Sometimes, going along with their ways and coaxing them can have a good guiding effect.
"Your class should have an Artoria too, right?"
"Well, there are too many people in their family named Artoria, so everyone in class calls her Blackie."
"Yes, yes, that's her. How are her math grades?"
