Chapter 55 Children's Park Camera

On Sunday morning, Nanami and Haibara said goodbye to Miya Chiri and the children, and Geto Suguru was going to take them to handle the transfer procedures.

"Are you going to the same middle school as Riko?" Miya Chiri asked them after hearing what Suguru Geto had said. "Riko was the girl I protected last week. She's a good kid."

Geto Xiayou nodded: "We are busy with this this week."

When it comes to establishing a school, acquisition is more convenient than building it from scratch. The other thing is to find suitable teachers and other students of the right age. There are not many students anyway, so they can all be crammed in to get to know each other first.

Gong Zhili looked at the two boys, then turned back to look at Xia Youjie: "Do they need to go on a mission to go to school?"

Geto Suguru: "Of course not. In fact, the number of tasks at the technical high school is gradually decreasing." He is no longer troubled by the smell of the cursed spirit balls, and he can subdue any cursed spirit he encounters. The overall number of cursed spirits is decreasing.

Moreover, they adjusted the way tasks were assigned, providing more assistance to Window during the investigation phase. The progress in other aspects, such as structure, materials, and the research and development of new magical tools, was also progressing steadily. At least now, there were fewer cases of encountering level-skipping challenges.

Miyaji smiled and said to Nanami and Huibara, "Study hard."

They both nodded, and Huiyuan asked, "What are you planning to do today?"

Gong Zhili: "Take them to the children's playground."

There was a loud cheer in the background. The children were lying on the sofa eavesdropping on their conversation. When they heard that they were going to the children's playground, they all dispersed and went back to their rooms to pack their bags.

Huiyuan was a little surprised: "But... didn't you just get home yesterday? Aren't you going to rest?"

Gong Zhili said it was nothing: "I'll just rest for a night and I'm not tired at all."

Nanami Kento pursed his lips and said, "Are you the only one taking these five children out?"

Gong Zhili shook his head and said, "Of course not. I've made plans with other families in the village who want to go to the children's park, and we've booked the entire park for today."

It's fine if everyone in there is your acquaintance.

And unless the circumstances were special, all families with children in the village agreed.

The cost of booking the entire venue will be paid by Gong Zhili, and the remaining families will pay a discounted ticket fee based on the number of people.

Huibara turned her head to look towards the village and found that the village across the lake was much more lively than usual. Every household with a car drove out.

Come to think of it...it seems like every household in this village has a car?!

Haibara had been in this village for almost two weeks, but had never walked around the village carefully. Suddenly, she realized such a huge sense of incongruity and subconsciously looked at Nanami Kento.

Nanami Kento rarely went out for a walk, and the reason was similar to Haibara's. First, he had to take care of the children after finishing the housework, so he didn't have enough time. Second, they were unfamiliar with the place and were afraid of showing any strange behavior that would arouse suspicion.

So now Kento Nanami really doubts whether she is too tired.

Gong Zhili was counting the items in the children's backpacks and said, "No, I'm actually quite free."

As long as there is a leader among the children, the rest will obey. Now the excellent leader in the family is Tsumiki! As long as Tsumiki is there, she can be half a hands-off boss.

So today she gave Tsu Miki a "Team Leader" armband and told the other children, "Today's team leader is Tsu Miki!"

Tsu Miki couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and her cheeks flushed.

Fushiguro held onto his sister's sleeve, standing very straight, and from time to time he would glance at the armband on his sister's arm. Itadori became more outgoing, circling around Tsumiki: "How amazing, Tsumiki-sister is the team leader!"

Nanako touched her armband and pouted, but she didn't make a fuss about wanting it too. Mimiko was much calmer. She stood closer to Miya Chiri than to Kanzu Miki.

Gong Zhili said goodbye to the three boys in a casual manner and walked towards the village with a small group of children.

Huiyuan stood there, unable to help but ask, "Why does Zhili have so much energy?"

The thought of taking five children out makes his head explode.

Xia Yujie said slowly: "She doesn't have to go to school or work. She takes the children out to play. She herself can barely be considered a 'child'. What's there to be unhappy about?" Maybe the adults in the village will take her with them to take care of her.

Haibara and Nanami were both silent.

Nanami: Yes, what troubles does she have in her life? Nanami Kento thought about this and felt a little envious.

When Miya Chiri arrived at the amusement park, she didn't care what those who left thought. She had a lot of fun playing there.

Just as Geto Suguru said, she is the same age as the middle school students in the village, so she can certainly participate in the activities they can participate in.

Although it is a children's playground, there are also activities for adults to play. However, the villagers prefer the specialty coffee shops inside. They all gather in the coffee shops to taste different coffees. Gong Zhili took the children of all ages to have fun outside.

This kind of entertainment is quite scarce in the apocalypse. Although she has experienced many thrilling things, there are no carousels or spinning teacups for children.

Ah, what fun - she took the five children on the carousel and rode it in a swaying circle. Fushiguro and the twins didn't want to ride it anymore.

Fushiguro thought this was too childish. When he played it for the first time, he sat on the pink unicorn Pegasus, and his little face was very tense, as if he was enduring it.

Miya Chiri asked the kindergarten teachers to take a lot of photos. When checking the photos, the kindergarten teacher whispered to her that Fushiguro didn't like this project a little bit. Miya Chiri couldn't help laughing when looking at the photos.

Since he doesn’t like this, there are many other projects in the children’s playground and you can always find something he likes.

Time flies when people are playing. After trying the rope climbing and zipline by herself, Miya Chiri played a balloon shooting game with the twins, rode the children's version of the roller coaster with Itadori, played bumper cars with Megumi Fushiguro, and then went to play in a maze together. Even lunch was hurriedly finished.

Even so, they still felt reluctant to leave the paradise.

Gong Zhili collected a lot of photos and had to find time to print them out. She remembered that her home was still short of many photo frames, so she would buy them next time she went shopping.

So on her way home, she went to buy a new camera and photo frames of different sizes.

——Yeah, is it strange that she wants to own a camera?

It’s fun to take photos at home.

"Do you have a photo printing machine for sale?" Gong Zhili asked the clerk. "I can pay for both the machine and the printing method."

At this time, customers just take photos and bring them to the store to be printed. Few people want to buy a whole set of equipment and learn printing technology. The clerk is unsure and has to ask the store manager for advice.

In the end, Gong Zhili spent the money and took the entire set of equipment and tools back home.

"It's not as expensive as I thought," Gong Zhili said, installing the printing equipment in the empty space to the west of the utility room. She planned to clear out the clutter, leaving only the shelves for easy tidying and reorganizing everything else in the basement. "We can take photos of your succulents at home from now on, too."

Next time, Miya Chiri plans to take the Fushiguro siblings and Itadori to the mountains to look for succulents so that they can also grow some of their favorite plants.

The shelves will also be moved to the west side. She plans to build a long narrow table against the wall on the east side near the large window. The children will do their homework and her printing equipment will be placed there in the future.

Now, of course, we take a big family photo in front of the house.

The next day was a sunny day. Gong Zhili stood at the door with the children, fixed the camera on a tripod, set the countdown, and took the first photo of the family.

She printed out a copy of the photo and gave it to each child, teaching them how to frame it.

She said: "No matter why you came here, since you live with me, you have to recognize that we are family."

“This photo is the best proof.”

She doesn't care whether the children can understand the meaning behind this sentence, but she can express her attitude through these photos.

Tiger Stick pinched the photo frame and asked confusedly, "Can I call you sister?"

The twins immediately screamed, "Ah!"

They haven't called Lady Gong "sister" yet!

And Lord Gong will definitely agree!

Gong Zhili smiled and said, "Of course you can. You can all call me sister, including Nanako and Mimiko. What do you think of calling me sister?"

Nanako immediately stuck to her: "Sister Zhili!"

Mimiko nodded: "Tsumiki is also a sister."

Gong Zhili asked: "When were you all born?"

She first decided on the twins' birthdays on their behalf: "Nanako and Mimiko are one year older than Kei and Yuji. Their birthdays are on September 2nd."

In fact, the twins didn't remember their birthdays, so Gong Zhili set the day she first met them as their birthday.

According to this ranking, Tsumeki is the eldest, followed by the twins, then Yuji, and finally Kei.

"Then Yujin has both a sister and a brother." Miyajima touched the pink-haired boy's head and said, "Are you happy?"

Yuji Itadori held the photo frame and said loudly, "Happy!"

The youngest Megumi Fushiguro: ...He also wants younger brothers and sisters.

Gong Zhili also sent the photos to her friends on her mobile phone, and they received rave reviews.

Apart from Tenno Riko, Nozomi sends her messages most frequently, basically complaining that her companions do not treat her as a human being and treat her as a perpetual motion machine. She heard that Gong Zhili has learned teleportation, and she really hopes that Gong Zhili can practice teleporting with others and steal her away from the endless overtime.

Miya Chiri: [Getsuyu said you guys haven't been going on missions as often lately.]

Glass: [I'm a logistics officer, so I don't have to go on missions, but they gave me a lot of other things to do!] For example, medical research and in-depth research and disassembly of reversal techniques. How is it possible to do such things? But Gojo did it, and he felt that she, Glass, should also do it!

If Nozomi Ieiri couldn't beat Gojo Satoru, she would have packed up and run away long ago.

She also wants to go to the children's playground to play. Let her go back to the village. She is willing to collect firewood in the mountains!

Gong Zhili: Work is really terrible.
