Chapter 14 Second Stop
The second stop in the New World is New York, USA.
The weather was not good and it rained heavily on the first day I came here.
Kuroro and Tetsuya stood at the entrance of the supermarket, looked at each other, and sighed deeply.
Tetsuya: "Look at this rain, it should last for a long time."
The raindrops hit the ground with a crackling sound, splashing water all over the ground, and the world in front of me was soaked in rain.
Even if you hold an umbrella, you will only get wet from head to body. If you wear a raincoat, you will lose the things in your hands. Don't even think about taking a taxi.
They were picking things in the supermarket. The sky was just a little gloomy when they went in, but it was flooded when they came out.
Kuroro looked up at the rain and said, "And I encountered some dirty stuff."
Just now in the supermarket, a middle-aged man with a big beard kept looking at them and followed them for a while. His gaze was not friendly. If it wasn't in the supermarket with more people, they didn't know what the middle-aged man would do.
Of course, with the protective function of the watch, they are not afraid of encountering any unexpected events.
There were so many people and surveillance cameras, Kuroro wanted to beat up the middle-aged man. He hated people who stole his things the most.
"I should have checked the weather forecast when I came out."
They arrived in the United States at five o'clock this morning. The system had already arranged a duplex apartment for them. They played in the apartment for the whole morning. In the afternoon, they were given a purchasing task to go out and buy their favorite food, and it needed to go out and negotiate a business deal.
Although the system has money, it has no people. The management of the company cannot be left to it alone. Business negotiations in the human world are better left to humans. However, before finding talents, the system still needs to take action personally.
Of course, everything can be solved with money. It couldn't be simpler.
The watch on his right wrist vibrated. Zhe also changed his hand to hold the bag and checked the message on his watch.
It was sent by Shuji. The five of them came together. The reason why they were the only two outside now was because after discovering it was raining, Hisahito and Tsunayoshi went back to buy raincoats and boots. Shuji went to ask if the supermarket had delivery service. If it wasn't raining, they could pick it up themselves, but it would be inconvenient if it was raining.
[Xiuzhi: We have delivery service. The deliveryman will be at your door soon.]
The message should have been sent to a group of people, and Kuroro also received it.
Kuroro looked back, "Where are Tsuna and the others? The rain gear doesn't look like it's very deep in the ground. Haven't they bought all of them in this long?"
"I don't know." Zhe said, "Maybe there are too many things to carry?"
They have to wait here for the staff to come and cannot leave for the time being.
Kuroro was a little worried: "Don't get into any trouble."
"It's a bit troublesome." Hisahito.
Between the shelves, a bearded man was lying on the ground wailing, holding his right arm with his left hand, with a painful expression on his face.
Tsuna looked at him in confusion, "Is he ill?"
Yuhito pulled Tsuna back and said, "I'm not sure. Let's go call the staff."
"Maybe it would be better to call the police." A strange male voice came from behind.
The two turned around and saw a young man with green eyes wearing a knitted hat. There was no smile on his face and he looked very fierce.
The young man explained: "He just wanted to steal your wallet, but I don't know why he fell down before he even touched you. It's possible that he was trying to scam you." He just saw the bearded man reaching out his hand and was about to come over to stop him, but the bearded man fell down with a look of pain on his face.
The young man spoke Japanese.
Tsunayoshi touched his pocket and found his wallet was still there.
The staff in the distance noticed the situation here and ran over in small steps.
"Oh, it's this guy again." The staff member rolled her eyes when she saw the bearded man lying on the ground. She also felt that this guy had changed his tactics to scam people.
The young man in the knitted hat walked up to the staff and said a few words, and the staff nodded in understanding.
"I'm so sorry, kids." The staff member bent down and said to Tsunayoshi and Hisahito, "This guy is a habitual thief. We have kicked him out of the supermarket many times. I don't know how he got in again. The security personnel will be here soon. I hope you are not frightened."
"It's okay."
The two children suffered no loss.
"No! These two kids can emit electric shocks! They are devils!" The bearded man finally came to his senses and pointed at Tsunayoshi and Hisahito angrily.
"Oh my god, if you've eaten too much white flour, don't come out and run around." The staff member couldn't help but roll his eyes to the sky and waved to the burly security guard who came over, "Get him out quickly."
After hearing what the bearded man said, Yuji touched his nose and made eye contact with Tsunayoshi.
'Defense function of the watch?'
'That's all there is.'
After the security guards took their people away, the two children thanked the young man in the knitted hat.
"You're welcome." Akai Shuichi looked at the rain gear in the basket in the child's hand and asked, "Where are your parents?"
He still spoke Japanese, which made the two children feel somewhat friendly, and although his face looked fierce, Tsunayoshi did not sense a trace of malice.
He is a good person.
Hisahito: "I'm going to work. Let's go shopping."
Irresponsible parents.
Shuichi Akai labels a certain person.
The two children were dressed like they were from wealthy families. It was no wonder they were noticed by others as they were carrying huge sums of money without their parents around.
He didn't know that any one of the two kids in front of him could send the bearded man to the hospital with a punch.
"Your home isn't far away, I'll take you back." Akai Shuichi stretched out his hand and motioned for the child to give him the things.
He was worried about such young children staying outside. He would go to the bar after sending them back.
Tsunayoshi: "Not far away..."
Tsunayoshi told the location.
Akai Shuichi: "Just on the way."
It feels like there is no room for refusal.
Finally, Shuichi Akai went to the checkout counter carrying a basket.
Yujin looked at the two long legs in front of him and exclaimed, "How cool."
Tsunayoshi nodded silently.
The things were taken away by the deliveryman, and Shuji also came back. The three saw that Tsunayoshi and Hisahito had not come back yet, and were about to send a message when they saw them coming out behind a stern-faced young man.
"Tsunayoshi! Hisahito!" Kuroro waved.
Tsunayoshi and Hisahito ran over to reunite with their friends.
Tetsuya: "Did something happen? Why are you out so late?"
"We encountered a thief, but it's nothing." Hisahito explained, pointing at his watch behind Akai Shuichi, and the others understood.
Tsunayoshi: "The one who came out with us is Akai-nii-san, who just helped us. He happened to be going our way, so he planned to take us home." He asked for the name when he was checking out.
Akai Shuichi waited quietly by the side for them to finish their conversation.
After he finished speaking, the five pretty kids all looked up at him, like five little figurines.
"Hmm..." Shuichi Akai couldn't help but look around, wondering if he had accidentally entered some children's variety show.
Obviously not.
The rain seemed to be a little lighter than before.
After expressing their gratitude to Shuichi Akai, the children put on their raincoats and boots, and walked in front, carrying their changed shoes. Shuichi Akai followed behind, holding an umbrella in one hand and carrying the things he bought in the other.
The sky is dark, and it is easy for not only people but also cars to slip on rainy days.
Shuichi Akai asked the children to walk along the wall and pay attention to the surrounding road conditions.
The apartment bought by the system is indeed not far away.
Before Akai Shuichi got closer, he saw a pink-haired young man waiting at the door of the apartment lobby downstairs.
"Your brother?"
Shuji: "Our guardian."
Akai Shuichi: So young? No wonder you're unreliable.
The kid with fluffy black hair looked up at him and said, "Come with me. If you leave, he will come to thank you specially."
Shuichi Akai paused. He really had no intention of going over. He just wanted to see the children get home safely.
"I don't need to be thanked. Just ask your parents to be more careful."
Xiuzhi: "You'd better go, if you don't want to come home one day and see a pink-haired guy squatting at your door."
Shuichi Akai felt the traction on the corner of his clothes, and when he looked down, he saw that the child named Hisahito was pulling on the corner of his clothes.
"Since we're here now, just take us home."
Akai Shuichi: "...Okay."
Arriving at the bottom of the apartment building, the five children tacitly bypassed the system. Xiuzhi pointed at Akai Shuichi and said, "Fuku-kun, it was Mr. Akai who sent us back."
I don't know where this bad habit came from, but lately I always catch a child and hold him in my arms and smoke when I have nothing to do.
Even Tsunayoshi, who is the most tolerant of the system, can't stand being caught and kissed on the face all the time, and being praised while kissing, "Who is this~ This is the most handsome and beautiful child in my family~"
It's simply outrageous. (Shuzhi's words)
The children took off their raincoats, shook off the water and folded them. Tsunayoshi took out a plastic bag from his pocket and the children put all the raincoats in the plastic bag. The shoes in his hand were already wet, so he still wore rain boots and rubbed them on the blanket at the door of the apartment hall to wipe off the water.
The system had already walked towards Shuichi Akai, and the extremely enthusiastic smile on its face made Shuichi Akai couldn't help but take a step back.
"Is that you, Mr. Akai? Thank you very much for bringing my child back!"
"You're welcome."
Shuichi Akai had things in both hands, so the system didn't shake hands with him.
The work of the human world has been solved. Unfortunately, the system still has to solve some tasks of the system general administration. In addition, in order to carry out subsequent work, it has to hold another consultation meeting with the world consciousness of multiple worlds. The main contents include cultural exports, the use of different ability systems, etc.
What comes next is a protracted war.
Before that, it probably didn't have much time to look after the children, and was considering whether to place a subsystem-controlled biological body in the apartment.
But now it doesn't need it anymore.
The system glanced at Akai Shuichi with a smile, and a stream of data flashed in its eyes.
A ready-made babysitter is now available.
"I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman in the United States. What a coincidence." The system tried to greet Akai Shuichi.
Akai Shuichi: "Yeah. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Wait." The system said, "Mr. Akai, I have a part-time job that is very suitable for you."
Shuichi Akai frowned and became alert. How did this person know that he was working part-time?
"No……"
The system held up five fingers and said with a smile, "One month, fifty thousand dollars."
