Chapter 15 Life as a Guardian

Shuichi Akai got a new job.

The salary offered by the system was too tempting. He couldn't earn that much money playing the accordion part-time in a bar.

With this money, Shuichi Akai will not need to work part-time for a long time, and he can use his free time to do his own things. Soon, he will return to Japan.

Of course, the prerequisite for accepting all this is that the system explains to him why he is suddenly given a part-time job.

"You look like a student. If you're an international student, you'll usually have a part-time job. You're so considerate to send your child back, so you must be a good person. I just want to find someone to help take care of my child. If you agree, I won't have to waste time looking for a housekeeping company."

"Besides, there's no reason for me to lie to you, right?"

That's the reason.

Akai Shuichi accepted.

Before that, he went to the bar and quit his part-time job as an accordion player.

The next day, Akai brand Baofu was officially launched.

His job is not difficult, but there are many unexpected situations. Because the system usually plans the daily tasks of children, but the system often changes the plan.

"But most of the time there's nothing to do. If possible, I just help with homework and cook. If you go out to play, all the money will be reimbursed. The children are very obedient, so there's no need to worry about them being difficult to take care of. It's very easy."

Shuichi Akai recalled what Hachiyagi said about gaining weight.

It's really easy.

He went early in the morning because he had to prepare breakfast.

He has lived alone for so long that his cooking skills are not perfect, but he can still make the food edible. In order to better complete this job, Shuichi Akai bought two cookbooks yesterday.

The money spent on groceries can also be reimbursed.

After making breakfast, some children have already gotten up, dressed and washed themselves.

Shuichi Akai had set the table and the child named Shuji Tsushima was already sitting in his seat.

"Good morning, Shuji."

"Good morning, Mr. Akai."

All the other children called him brother, but this child was the only one who called him sir like an adult.

Speaking of which, there are six people in this family, and everyone has a different surname. Akai Shuichi was curious, but out of professional ethics, he did not ask rashly.

It’s better not to know too much about your employer’s affairs.

Shuichi Akai went to wake up the child who was still lying in bed.

After dinner, Shuichi Akai put on an apron and went to the kitchen to wash dishes, listening to the noise in the living room.

Ding-dong-dong sounds were heard. It must be the children playing the piano in the living room.

After a short sound check, the smooth music comes into the ears.

This should be a necessary skill for children from wealthy families.

Akai Shuichi put the bowl back into the cupboard and thought about something else.

In the living room.

Tsunayoshi memorized the new music score with a bit of pain, looking at it with his eyes and mumbling to himself.

"Let's go out and play in the afternoon. It's too boring staying in the house." Yuhito put down the music score in his hand and pressed his face against the floor-to-ceiling window, making his face look like a round pancake.

"After you memorize this paragraph and finish your homework, you can manage the rest of your time as you like." Zheye sat on the carpet, leaning against the sofa.

"How do you remember, Tetsuya?"

Tetsuya gave Yuhito a numb look.

Kuroro comforted: "There's still a whole morning left, don't rush."

"Have you finished playing, Azhi?"

"Yeah." Xiuzhi got down from the piano stool, his relaxed look attracting the envious gazes of the other four children.

"Please give me a divine brain." Hisahito bowed devoutly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"You will remember it more clearly if you play it more often." Xiuzhi has a good memory.

Zheya silently covered his face with the music score and made a ghostly voice: "But my hands can't keep up with my brain."

When Akai Shuichi came out, the originally smooth piano sound was replaced by intermittent ding-dong-dong sounds, and one could barely hear a rhythm.

The whole morning was spent with the sound of ding-dong-dong. The children who finished piano practice early started to do their homework, and those who didn't know how to do it went to find Akai Shuichi.

More self-disciplined than some adults.

Shuichi Akai found that the difficulty of their homework was beyond what it should be for their age. They were in kindergarten, but their homework was that of an elementary school student.

Mr. Ba Liu seems to be a bit of a pushover.

Before lunch, everyone completed their tasks for the day.

"Brother Akai, is there anything fun in New York?" Hisahito asked at the dinner table.

Shuichi Akai: "It depends on your preferences. Do you want to take pictures, eat, watch a show, or play some sports?"

"I want to go to Broadway to listen to musicals." Kuroro's eyes sparkled. Whenever he went to a new place, Kuroro would collect general information about the place. In New York, the first thing that attracted him was Broadway.

"Musicals? Which one do you like?" asked Shuichi Akai.

"I want to listen to every one of them." said Kuroro.

Tetsuya: "For me, I prefer the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Museum of Natural History is also OK. Of course, if everyone is willing to go to a public library, that would be even better."

Tsunayoshi: "I want to play a music game. Is there any music game here?"

"I remember there is one with an arcade machine inside. I can take you there when the time comes." Akai Shuichi made a note.

Tetsuya: "I can play the dance machine."

"Then we can play together then." Tsunayoshi looked forward to it.

"I don't have any favorites." Hisahito said in a worried tone, "I haven't been to karaoke yet, but watching a movie is fine. What about Shuji?"

"I'm only interested in the crab meat," said Shuji. "Maybe fishing for crabs would be a good activity."

"You can go crab fishing on Long Island. Everyone wants to go to different places..." Akai Shuichi wrote down the children's interests in a notebook, "Okay, I will make a guide as soon as possible, and you can see it after your nap."

While the children were taking a nap, Shuichi Akai sent a message to Yagyu Fafu to report, and he quickly received a message with an OK.

[Ya Liu (employer): Don’t worry about the money. When you take your children out to play, buy the best of everything. If you can’t buy a suitable ticket for Broadway, contact me and I will help you. I will also reimburse you for the money you spent.]

[Akai Shuichi: I understand.]

While Shuichi Akai took the children out to play, the system was meeting with the world consciousness and writing a new plan.

The world consciousness chose to appear in the form of its own world's specialties, so in front of the huge conference table sat rings, books, glowing eggs, blue eyes, basketballs, etc., and on the top was a pink plush bear.

Grocery store meeting.

In addition to the worlds that have joined, other worlds also want to join. Because the world consciousness is also quite idle, it is rare to have some fun, it does not harm its own world, and it is also a little beneficial to some worlds.

"...This is roughly how the energy is divided. You all agree that we can use abilities from other worlds across worlds and produce effects, right?"

"agree!"

System: "Okay, let's move on to the next item on the agenda, talent export."

"I've already told my child that he can come over anytime if needed." A sparkling card turned around, "La La, the child is very happy."

"Well, I don't think there are any suitable children in my family." Slate worried, "But I can accept data synchronization, and it's okay for him to come to my world for a meet-and-greet from time to time."

The glowing white egg gently jumped onto the table, and said in a gentle voice: "I have a child who is eligible for this talent export plan."

"He's a very cute child..."

"As big as us?"

"That's not the case. She's a 15-year-old girl." The pink bear drew her hands from head to toe and made an arc gesture. "I've seen her photo. She has golden twin ponytails and purple eyes. She looks really cool. She's a very famous star in her world."

"After that, there are also handsome older brothers, who are all honorary teachers I invited."

The system took some time out of his busy schedule to come back and meet the children.

Yu Ren asked: "Meet in the system space?"

"Yes." The system said, "But if you are interested in her world, I will take you there when I am free."

It involves too many worlds, and it has to write several plans and submit them to the General Administration for record. It will take some time for the plan to be reviewed.

"Actually, I'm more interested in Kuroro's world." Hisahito said, "At least Tsunayoshi and I are still on Earth, but Kuroro's world is like a different world in a comic book."

"No, except for me, you all seem to be living in a comic book world." Zheya had a blank expression. Whose normal world has superpowers and cursed spirits? This setting sounds like a hot-blooded boy's comic.

Tsunayoshi complained: "In Tetsuya's world, the setting for playing basketball is not like that in the normal world." The system once showed them a basketball game in Tetsuya's world, and it was so colorful and dazzling.

"I'm more curious about what's different about this world, or what's different about Shuichi Akai?" Shuji's focus was different from theirs.

System: “Nothing special.”

Shuji tilted his head, "But the way you look at Akai Shuichi isn't right."

According to the core data of the system, there are two types of people in the world, one is its five small hosts, and the other is everyone else other than the hosts.

The way it looks at other people is no different than the way it looks at plants, trees, tiles and stones, so even though it often has a smile on its face, it makes people feel uncomfortable. Surprisingly, it is very useful in the business world because the bosses become intimidated when they see it.

But when the system first saw Shuichi Akai, the way it looked at plants, tiles and stones upgraded to the level of looking at cats and dogs on the street.

There must be something different about Shuichi Akai compared to ordinary people.

"It's nothing, actually..." The system touched its chin. "If I really want to say it, since he is the bastard of the world, his own luck is quite strong, but it is of no use to us. After all, I am not a low-quality system that plunders other people's luck."

Tsunayoshi was full of questions: "What is a bastard? Can God really give birth to a child?"

"That's not what I meant. This is just a joke between our systems." The system said, "When we read novels and comics, isn't there always a protagonist? This protagonist is equivalent to the legitimate son favored by the world, with the strongest luck. The illegitimate son is a supporting role, with a certain amount of luck, but not as good as the orthodox protagonist."

"What a feudal statement." Hisahito complained.

Xiuzhi, the young master of a large feudal family: "It feels like coming home."

Kuroro grasped the key point: "So, does this world have a so-called plot or destiny line?"

"Every world has it. For weaker worlds, they must follow the 'plot' because it is safer. But the worlds we go to are mature and don't need to care about the 'plot'."

The system added: "And the General Administration has regulations that prohibit spoilers in the system."

"Ah——" The children all made a sound of regret at the same time.
