Chapter 059
"You're still thinking about returning my kabushigan."
In the ward of the clinic, Iguro Xiaoban was lying on the bed with a dark face and spoke in a sinister tone.
Qingxi looked innocent, "I didn't expect that I would encounter so many things just by going to the headquarters to answer a question."
Moreover, she felt that she had returned quickly enough. Besides, she took Kabushimaru to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters yesterday. Even if she forgot to report to him, the real owner of Kabushimaru, she believed that someone else would have told him.
Please note that the other person she is referring to here is Kyojuro. As for why it is not Tsurumaru Kuninaga, those who know his personality know that it is lucky that he did not use this incident to cause trouble. Expecting him to run to Iguro Obanai obediently to inform him... Dream on. In your dreams, there will be that obedient and sweet Tsurumaru Kuninaga.
Iguro Obanai wrapped Kabutomaru around him and looked at the girl who seemed to be immune to his harsh words. Even if she wasn't immune, she could still come back with sharp words. He turned sideways and said to her from behind, "Anyway, Kabutomaru won't follow you out for the next few days."
Qingxi bared her teeth at his back and said, "It was you who asked me to take Kabukimaru out for a stroll, but it was you who didn't let Kabukimaru play with me. Iguro, you are really hypocritical."
"Who are you calling pretentious?!" Iguro Obanai, who had her back to Qingxi, turned around and glared at Qingxi. The warning in her eyes was self-evident.
Qingxi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and waved his claws at Kabutomaru, "Kabutomaru, we're still the same at noon today."
With that, she turned and left.
Which one is that?
Staring at the girl who had already run out of the ward, Iguro Obana could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He lowered his head and met the white snake's red eyes: "...Next time you go out with that girl, don't learn her bad habits."
Kiyoki, who had no idea that she would be attacked by Iguro Obanai and Kabutomaru again after she left, went to the crow roost first. This time, except for the four crows that had officially "graduated" from her, she stopped feeding them at her suggestion to Ubuyashiki Kōya. Including the 26 "old people" left in the crow roost, the headquarters also sent 60 crows for her to feed.
Being in charge of the meals for 86 crows by herself, even with the help from the keepers who looked after the crows in the crow house and Tsurumaru Kuninaga who would occasionally skip work to accompany the wounded in the rehabilitation class, was still an exhausting job for her who was only eight years old.
She had also considered quitting her job at the clinic and moving to the Crow House. Although the architecture here was traditional in style, with shoji doors that could be easily opened, there were many empty rooms, so she could live in one by herself.
However, this advantage is not so much of an advantage for her since she lives in a dormitory alone.
The most important point is that among all the people who perform surgery on broken limbs in the clinic, she is the best at it with the help of the Dialysis Eye.
Again, there is no guarantee that everyone will be able to live like a normal person after having their limbs reattached. However, we can still allow them to live like a normal person.
Please, the keepers who happened to be passing by the kitchen brought the buckets of special food for the crows that she had prepared to the crow house for the crows to eat. After Qingxi tidied up the kitchen, she took off her apron and prepared to go to the clinic to find Ueno Arata to explain things.
Ueno, the new guy, was in his lounge. Seeing the girl sneaking her head in, he wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "Hey, sneaking around like that? Are you planning to come here and steal from me?"
Qingxi saw that the other party was quite free at the moment, so she walked in boldly and said, "Doctor Ueno, I want to discuss something with you."
Ueno Arata raised his eyebrows and didn't let her speak immediately. After filtering his thoughts in his mind, he almost guessed what she wanted to say to him.
He pulled a chair over and sat down, while also motioning Qingxi to move a chair as well, so they could sit down and chat.
"You want to talk about what happened at the Crow House?"
Qingxi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening and nodded. "There are nearly ninety crows in the Crow House right now. I'm alone, and I'm too small. It's already hard for me to handle the three meals a day there, so I don't have much free time. It's a bit unreasonable to take the salary from both the clinic and the Crow House."
"So are you planning to quit your job at the clinic and concentrate on completing the task assigned to you by your lord?" Ueno Shindo.
She still said the same thing, that the rate of ordinary crows turning into mutant crows by eating ingredients from the gourmet world was too low, and she didn't know if there could be eleven or twelve more among the ones he had accepted so far.
"Yes, it's hard to say when," Qingxi said. "Then there's the surgery. We need to find someone else to take over. Otherwise, if the Hidden Department sends several people in need of surgery at once and the clinic doesn't have enough staff, it would be a joke."
Ueno Arata supported his chin with one hand and said, "In that case, Ah Xi, you will have to work a little harder.
You can put aside other things in the clinic, but if someone needs surgery, you can come and take on the part-time job.
However, as you said, it's not nice to tell others that you're being paid by two different jobs, so before you return to the clinic, I'll calculate your part-time salary. That way, if anyone here finds out, they won't feel bad about it."
We are all adults and have an adult heart. Those naive ideas have disappeared as we see more and encounter more things.
Don't be fooled by the harmonious relationship between the sisters and sisters in the clinic. However, if they cannot treat everyone equally, no matter how good everyone is on a daily basis, there will always be some resentment in their hearts over time.
Like this, you work in the clinic all day, and occasionally when you have some free time, you can take a break and have some snacks. Your salary will still be calculated on a monthly basis. If it is just a part-time job, then you will be paid according to the part-time salary. In this way, you can get along well with people living under the same roof.
Qingxi thought that this was fine, so she said, "Then let's do as you say, Dr. Ueno. I won't be helping out at the clinic tomorrow."
After a pause, she continued, "In that case, I'll move my things to the Crow House and live there for the next two days."
Ueno Arata waved his hand, "Goodbye, you should just live in your current dormitory. Although there are many empty rooms in the Crow House, all the people living there are men. As a girl, it will probably be more or less inconvenient for you to live there in your daily life.
Besides, it's not like the clinic is short of a bed for you and you have nowhere to stay, so you don't have to start moving."
Qingxi wanted to say that she had no problem, because after Yaken and Tsurumaru revealed themselves, they both lived in the Crow House. She just needed to live in the house next to theirs, and she could still come to them if she had any problems, right?
However, it was Ueno Shin's good intention after all, so I won't move.
After deciding on her next work focus with Ueno Arata, she got up the next day, washed up, had breakfast, and went to kidnap Kabamaru of Iguro Obanai again.
"Iguro, you really are such a tsundere." Feeling the coolness of Kabukimaru wrapped around her neck, Qingxi's skin unexpectedly broke out in goosebumps. Qingxi grumbled. "Who told me yesterday not to take Kabukimaru away these past few days? And yet, when I came here today, you still told me to take Kabukimaru out?"
Seeing the boy's face darkening with bandages covering the lower half of his face, she reached out to his forged, snake-like, curved Nichirin sword leaning against the wall. She quickly changed the subject, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. I'll be working in the crowhouse behind the clinic for the time being, so the care of the wounded here will be temporarily suspended. Are you relieved by this?"
"Does the building behind the clinic also belong to the Demon Slayer Corps?" He was unconscious when he came here and was carried here by the Hidden Corps personnel, so he didn't know that the building behind the clinic also belonged to the Demon Slayer Corps.
"You can think of it as the residence of the second-level training class for the jays. I'm the chef responsible for their meals."
Iguro Xiaobanai understood immediately, "Are you going to breed a crow like that one that's even fatter than you?"
The day before yesterday, he saw such a crow through the window of the ward. If he had not seen it with his own eyes lifting Qingxi up and flying in the sky, he would have begun to suspect whether it was someone pretending to be a crow.
"He's Jiro," Qingxi said. She then explained, "He's the first magpie I've raised using the ingredients I have here. Aside from being a little bigger, he's better than any other magpie."
However, after hearing her explanation, Iguro Obana's focus shifted, "Those were your own things you fed Kabutomaru before."
"right."
Iguro Obanai was silent for a moment, then his eyes fell on Kabutomaru who was lying on top of Qingxi and he warned her, "Don't eat anything she feeds you from now on."
He was worried that it would become as hungry as the crow and he would no longer be able to take care of it.
Moreover, it wastes food.
Qingxi was dissatisfied, "What are you complaining about? What's wrong with Jiro? You can tell by the way it grabbed me and flew away the day before yesterday. When it grows a little bigger, I can sit on its back and fly in the sky with it on its back."
If Diwan could also eat an ordinary snake into a mutated giant snake, then in the future it would not be you who would carry it, but you would step on its head and it would carry you.
Iguro Obanai turned his head away, his eyes filled with disdain. "I refuse. I don't want to leave the clinic and be taken to the police station just because I'm around a dangerous giant snake."
Just refuse if you want to. Is she going to force him?
She waved at him and said, "Anyway, I just want to tell you. Now, I'm leaving with Kabukimaru."
With her back to him, Qingxi raised her hand and waved behind her.
