"Although the school offers accommodation, it's a last resort. I'd rather try to be self-reliant first."
"Oh dear, what a misfortune for our family."
Hong Meiling couldn't help but complain, "It sounds like that unlucky father is going to abandon his daughter and run away."
No, they might have already run away. Whether we can even get in touch with them is another question!
For a moment, she looked at the other person with a hint of sympathy.
In contrast, although his family belonged to a fallen noble family, the wealth left by their ancestors was enough for them to live comfortably for several generations.
However, he was prepared to lie down and live a carefree life, but he was forced out by that wicked head maid to find work, under the pretext of not wanting to spread his decadent attitude to the eldest and second young ladies.
But her intuition told her that this guy was simply jealous of her figure and it was getting in her way.
Shaking her head to stop thinking about those random things, she looked at Artoria again.
The little clown's expression turned slightly awkward, but he still muttered to himself—
"The company's shares changed, and the new chairman cut my living expenses so drastically that I can't even eat my fill."
"Oh, you can rest assured, we provide meals and afternoon tea."
While Hong Meiling was chatting with the two, Jiang Qiu was also helplessly chased out of the bathroom by Shi Hua.
"I just heard my phone ring. It might be something important. Go check it out first, I need to catch my breath."
"alright."
Seeing that Shika was slumped in the bathtub, looking utterly listless, he could only temporarily suspend his efforts and check his phone.
No sooner had he left than Toka retrieved the Holy Grail from the bathtub.
As the Holy Grail was lifted out of the water, a large amount of blood could be seen overflowing from it, revealing an indescribable sense of tragedy.
Toka frowned as she looked at the Holy Grail, which was now completely still.
This thing seems to be of poor quality.
Initially, it also had the effects of automatic strangulation and soul absorption, which absorbed a lot of damage for itself.
But after only a few attempts, it broke down completely, leaving her so exhausted that she could barely straighten her back.
Could it be that it short-circuited because too much water got in while it was being used in the bathroom?
Toka muttered to herself, shook the Holy Grail, and couldn't help but pat it with her hand, trying to restore it to its normal function.
But under her subtle gaze, the Holy Grail merely trembled once more before choosing to shut down again.
"It's useless. Looks like I'll have to buy a better quality one as a backup."
Shika sighed, put the Holy Grail aside, and then painstakingly began cleaning up the traces.
Try to wash up and change your clothes before Jiang Qiu comes back, so that she can't bother you anymore.
While Shihua was busy with her work, Chen Huijie had actually been gone for a while.
Staring at the gruesome corpses on the floor, Hoshiguma and Swire were both stunned and stood frozen in place.
"Should we call an ambulance?"
"Didn't the doctor say that her condition was special, that she would be fine after taking some medicine, that there was no need for resuscitation, and that she would probably wake up soon?"
"But this situation seems even more serious than yesterday, what are you doing?"
"Let's take a picture to commemorate this. Now, if Pink Intestine Dragon dares to argue with me again, he'll have to back down a bit."
""
Hoshiguma rolled her eyes at the mischievous little tiger who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, and then hurriedly ran to Chen Huijie's bedroom to find the medicine prescribed by the doctor.
Not long after taking the pill, Chen Huijie's breathing became noticeably stable.
However, the other person still showed no signs of waking up. Even after the body was moved to the sofa, the person was still trembling from time to time, and even the posture was somewhat distorted.
As Swire kept taking photos, she gradually noticed something was amiss.
The way this pink dragon looks makes it seem like it's been bent over.
Especially the few instinctive reactions after losing consciousness!
However, since there was no murderer present and Chen Huijie died suddenly, she could only suppress her doubts for the time being.
As for Jiang Qiu, who had selectively forgotten the consequences of the Holy Grail, she also showed a surprised expression when she saw the message sent by Hong Meiling.
"Please take good care of the guests first, I'll be there shortly."
"They sit next to me in class, and they're easy to get along with. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll be your colleagues for a while."
"You can take them to the workplace and accommodation first, and ask if there are any things that need to be changed."
After sending the message, Jiang Qiu was about to return to the bathroom to deliver the final, fatal blow when he watched helplessly as Shi Hua swiftly escaped from the bathroom.
Chapter 95, Section 96: As everyone knows, the murderer will return to the crime scene.
"Well, I see you still have things to do, so hurry up and go, don't delay."
Seeing Jiang Qiu's resentful look, Shi Hua turned her head away guiltily.
If this continues, it's questionable whether she'll even be able to stand still later.
If the other guys in the house find out, then I'm afraid I won't be able to have any peace from now on.
Of course, the main reason is that they are simply no match for the Holy Grail, not to mention that the Holy Grail has stopped working.
This is no longer a contest of equal strength, but a completely one-sided suppression!
Just imagining Jiang Qiu continuing his high-intensity battle sent a chill down Shi Hua's spine, and she hurriedly pushed Jiang Qiu away with all her might.
"Hurry up and get busy, I need to cook too. Xingge's cooking skills are still a bit lacking, I need to keep a close eye on him."
"Then tonight?"
"I have to make sure Rikka does her homework properly tonight, so I don't have time right now, but I'll make it up to you next time."
Shi Hua gave a perfunctory reply; at this moment, she was only listening to Jiang Qiu's voice, and her wounds trembled instinctively.
After kicking the person out, she fled back to Jiang Qiu's room in a disheveled state.
Looking at the door that slammed shut in an instant, Jiang Qiu revealed a thoughtful expression.
When he only had ten flowers, he still struggled to cope with the physical exertion from training, and there was even a possibility of defeat.
However, the opponent borrowed the Holy Grail from him to defend himself in order to escape the war, which was then judged as a multi-person battle.
Since it's a multi-person operation, I'm naturally invincible, which is tough on Inspector Chen.
I was determined to reduce the frequency of use and stop, but Shika kept borrowing it.
This is outside of one's own control.
How about we bring a fruit basket to visit Inspector Chan next time?
It is said that some murderers return to the crime scene after committing a crime, and can experience a special kind of thrill?
As Jiang Qiu was pondering something, she went downstairs and happened to run into Hong Meiling and her group who were coming up with others.
The moment their eyes met, Artoria and Rin Tohsaka perked up and immediately greeted each other politely.
"Good evening, Jiang Qiu. I apologize for bothering you today."
"We're all classmates, no need to be so polite, just be natural."
Jiang Qiu smiled and waved her hand, then took the opportunity to ask the two of them about the positions they wanted to apply for.
Almost without hesitation, the two simultaneously chose to take on the cleaning and housekeeping work for the entire apartment, their faces filled with a resolute expression of facing death.
Cleaning of empty rooms and hallways, cleaning of the swimming pool, and trimming and weeding of the courtyard garden.
They applied for almost everything that *Yue-Yi/* could do, showing a determination to squeeze their potential to the extreme.
"Cleaning the apartment isn't an easy job, are you sure you want to do all this at once?"
"If I get too tired and it affects my studies, then it's not worth it."
"We can start doing it first! If we really can't handle it, we can cancel it."
The two gritted their teeth and said, "The more we do, the more we earn."
They have reached a dead end and will not back down!
"Alright, since you insist, let's get started."
"The compensation details are clearly stated in the job advertisement. Is there anything else you need to ask?"
"Does it include room and board?"
"Don't worry, you'll be well-fed. As for accommodation, you can choose any available room in the apartment."
As Jiang Qiu revealed the answer she had been hoping for, Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) immediately straightened.
At that moment, she fully understood the meaning of loyalty.
"No, boss! We can start working right now!"
"Me too!" Yue—Yi Er then wept and murmured to Yin 3.
"No rush, we can start again tomorrow. Let's settle down first today."
"I will provide you with a special bank card for dinner and late-night snacks. I will deposit subsidies into it regularly, and I will replenish it promptly if you finish eating early."
"As for the cards, just go to the guard room with Meiling to pick them up later; there are plenty there."
"However, this subsidy card can only be used for food subsidies and cannot be used for other expenses, so please be careful. My secretary will check the accounts regularly."
Jiang Qiu still gave a serious reminder, but he could already foresee the terrifying, piercing explosion that would occur when Zanni checked the accounts in the future.
Artoria and Rin Tohsaka obediently agreed, as if they could already see their future glory.
The two didn't linger. After listening to Jiang Qiu's final instructions, they couldn't wait to go home and pack their luggage.
Especially for Artoria, she also had to find a way to deceive the other hungry ghosts, which was no easy task.
After watching them leave in a hurry, Jiang Qiu lazily returned to her room.
Seeing Hongxia and the others hunched over the coffee table, diligently doing their homework, he couldn't help but let out a smug laugh.
Hongxia looked at the guy's indifferent expression, and a look of suspicion appeared on her little face.
"Aren't you going to do your homework yet? If you stay up too late, you'll have to stay up all night."
"My homework has been completely waived."

Almost the instant the words fell, in front of Rikka and the others' convulsing gazes, the pencil in Nijika's hand was snapped in two.
"How the hell is this possible?"
"Did you hypnotize all the teachers?!"
Hongxia stared at Jiang Qiu in disbelief.
We agreed to suffer together, how could you sneak off like that!
"I just asked Sister Jing to discuss it with me, but the condition is that I pass every exam without failing any courses."
Are you sure you can pass the exam like this?
"Easy peasy, you'll see when the time comes."
Seeing Jiang Qiu's confident expression, Liu Hua and the others were filled with envy.
Why don't I ask Sister Jing to discuss it with me?
But the thought that they couldn't completely guarantee their grades immediately deflated them, and they gritted their teeth in frustration.
Rikka seemed to have thought of something, and eagerly moved closer to Jiang Qiu—
"Seven Deadly Sins Apostles, as the first servant of the Evil King True Eye, I am now facing a great calamity. It is time for us to join forces to fight against the enemy."
Under Jiang Qiu's subtle gaze, Rikka muttered to herself while secretly slipping her homework over, her eyes constantly giving her suggestive hints.
However, Jiang Qiu remained unmoved and resolutely shoved the homework back into the house.
"Write it yourselves, I'll keep an eye on you."
"Tsk, even the Seven Deadly Sins have been corrupted by the messengers of the Fallen Temple by now?"
