Chapter 94
Kiyoki thought that Koharu Aya and Riko would discuss with Mr. Kono and Mr. Egawa for a while, but she didn't expect that they would have reached a conclusion in just one night.
"Aki, Riko and I want to rent your shop, but," Koharu Aya said, and she and Riko looked at each other for a moment, "I think we might need to renovate the shop. Is that okay?"
A look of surprise appeared on Qingxi's face, but after the surprise, curiosity came over her. "Of course, but Sister A-ling, Sister Riko, have you thought of what kind of store to open?"
The two nodded, and Riko said, "It's a curry shop."
Qingxi was not surprised at all when she heard the answer, except for a moment of surprise at first. As more and more Western cultures were introduced, she couldn't say anything about other small towns, but in Tokyo, every time she went to the streets, she could smell the aroma of curry wafting from both sides of the road.
Thinking about the location of her shop, she realized there were plenty of dim sum restaurants and eateries nearby, but no Western-style restaurants. She couldn't help but share her thoughts with them. "Opening a curry shop is a good idea, but I think a Western-style restaurant that specializes in curry would also be a good idea. Since there aren't any other Western-style restaurants around here, I think it would be good."
"Is that so?" Qingxi's words perked up the two of them. Without Qingxi saying anything else, they had already started discussing.
Seeing this, Qingxi simply took them out to see the shop. The shop was divided into a front shop and a backyard. The front shop did not seem particularly large to Qingxi, but for the locals, it was already a very good store. The excess and unused items were moved to the small warehouse and put away. Seven or eight tables and matching chairs were put in. Apart from leaving an aisle for customers to enter and exit and a cash register, the remaining space could be used to place some potted plants, flowers and trees to embellish curry. Well, the customers of the Western restaurant were satisfied with the restaurant.
However, the original kitchen behind the shop needs to be converted from a "home version" used only for family meals. Someone needs to be hired to renovate it into a "multi-person version". This needs to be discussed with Qingxi, the owner of the shop.
Qingxi is easy to talk to. As long as it doesn't involve demolishing the house or making major changes, she will give in.
"The window here was caused by a ghost when we stayed here to catch a thief. Later, I asked someone to install a new one." The three of them came to the second floor, and Qingxi explained, pointing to the glass window that looked out of place in the Japanese-style house.
After visiting the shop, the three of them returned to the clinic.
Brothers should settle accounts clearly, and Qingxi has always been very good at this.
She found a pen and paper and made three copies of the shop rental agreement. She signed the three names on each copy and put their fingerprints on it. She kept one copy for herself, and Koharu Aya and Riko each had one copy. In this way, her shop was rented to them.
The two paid Qingxi a year's rent for the shop that day, and Qingxi also gave them a spare key to the shop.
After the store matters were dealt with, Qingxi naturally stopped caring about it. She went to see Kitani Genying again and saw that he was still unconscious, so she prepared to return to Beiming Island Xingming.
This time, she took away all her belongings that were left in Tsurumaru Kuninaga's house, and even took away his belongings as well at Tsurumaru Kuninaga's request.
Not only that, with the arrival of the New Year, some shops have already launched product promotion activities early at this time. Qingxi saw that the things were pretty good, so he took Tsurumaru Kuninaga out to do some big shopping.
Greeting cards, miso, candy, tea...Finally, there are lucky bags and blind box series.
Every business owner will use this trick, big or small, to stimulate consumption.
Although Qingxi knew that the things in this lucky bag were mostly useless, he still couldn't help but stomped his hands together with Tsurumaru.
They didn't buy much. They just bought one if they saw a lucky bag in a store that looked good. They just stuffed one into their food backpack after buying one, so she didn't pay attention to the situation in the backpack. So, before they knew it, the two of them had bought a lot of lucky bags.
The boss would never give refunds on promotional items. What else could Qingxi do? He could only accept it.
After buying enough things, Qingxi and Tsurumaru Kuninaga prepared to return to Gyomei on Beiming Island.
This time she still took the "air route", but because she was not in a hurry and she wanted to fly more comfortably, she did not let Jiro fly too fast this time. When the two of them and the crow returned to Beiming Island's house, it was already dark, and Beiming Island Xingming had already finished dinner and was ready to go out for patrol.
"Mr. Beimingyu, we are back."
After unbuckling her seat belt, Qingxi's legs went weak and she almost rolled off Jiro's back. Fortunately, Beiming Island Xingming heard something was wrong and reached out to grab her and put her on the ground.
"Welcome back." Beimingyu Xingming put his hand on the top of the girl's head and rubbed it gently and said.
"There's not enough dinner in the kitchen, so you need to make some more yourselves," he instructed.
"It's okay. Tsurumaru and I can handle it ourselves." Qingxi didn't mind that they hadn't informed Gyoumei of their return time in advance, and that they hadn't left any food for them. "We'll take care of dinner ourselves. Mr. Gyoumei, you can go on patrol first."
"By the way," before leaving, Beiming Island Xingming turned around as he thought of something, "a new resident came to our house while you were away."
Qingxi: “Hmm?”
"On my way back from the clinic the other day, I found a litter of kittens in the mountains, abandoned only a month or two after being born," Beimingyu Xingming explained. "I temporarily placed them in the empty room next door to yours."
Qingxi knew clearly that the other party was talking about the first time Jiro took him to the clinic to perform surgery on Genei Kitani, and he and Tsurumaru were chasing after him. Later, because the surgery was not over until late at night, he had to leave to go on patrol. However, Qingxi had no idea that such a thing had happened.
"I see."
After Qingxi responded, he watched Beimingyu Xingming leave.
There was food in the gourmet backpack, so the two of them didn't have to bother making dinner. After a simple dinner, they went to see the kitten.
Before she even got there, Qingxi heard the meowing of a baby cat.
The shoji door opened, and before she could step in, she felt something soft hit her foot.
She lowered her head and saw, hmm, a furry ball.
She continued to walk forward with the furry ball in her hands. Behind her, Tsurumaru Kuninaga quickly caught a furry ball that was about to run away when they were not paying attention.
Scanning the room, Tsurumaru Kuninaga exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, there's actually a calico cat among all the orange cats. How rare!"
Qingxi nodded in agreement and added, "Also, the three colors on her body are distributed very beautifully. She is a very pretty girl."
Calico cats are generally female. Of course, it’s not that there are no male calico cats, but there are not as many as female calico cats, so Qingxi subconsciously thought that the other party was a female cat.
However, she didn't expect that Tsurumaru's curiosity would even want to take a look at male and female cats——
"Master, you are wrong. This calico cat is a little prince." After Tsurumaru Kuninaga finished speaking, he did not forget to hold the calico cat and wave it in front of Qingxi's eyes.
Listening to the calico cat's dissatisfied meow, Qingxi was speechless.
"Can't you be a little less curious in some areas?" Qingxi complained while taking the calico cat from his hands and holding it in her arms. She was thankful that the kitten was so small that even if it was held by Tsurumaru with its belly exposed, it wouldn't look good, otherwise she would have ruined the innocence of the little calico cat.
Little Sanhua may have realized that she had escaped from the clutches of a certain terrible Tsukumogami, and she nestled in Qingxi's arms without meowing, and the cat became very well-behaved.
"Ha, it's still a calico cat that knows how to choose the right dish." Tsurumaru Kuninaga grinned and reached out to it again, but was attacked by the cute little calico cat's fist.
Qingxi became more and more delighted as she watched, "My Taro is so cute. Yes, go and scratch the crane like this. If you are able to scratch off the crane feathers, I will use them to make a cat bed for you."
"Taro? Master, have you named this calico cat yet?" Unconcerned with the girl's joke, Tsurumaru Kuninaga focused his attention elsewhere. He thought of the scene in Honmaru where Nashin, due to his height, always had to bump his forehead against the door frame. Then, looking at the soft, small calico cat in the girl's arms, he couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, if only Jiro Tachi were here too. I really want to see what kind of expression he'd have when he found out there was a kitten with the same name as him."
As he was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject, "Jiro is a calico cat, Jiro is a big crow, Master, next time you raise a pet, use the sword man's name, it feels quite interesting."
Qingxi paused while stroking Taro's hand, then asked in surprise, "Are there any famous swords named Taro among you swordsmen?"
Now it was Tsurumaru Kuninaga's turn to be surprised, but he soon understood.
The master herself stated that she had only played the Touken Ranbu game before being taken to the Gourmet World by the system, and the historical process of the Gourmet World cannot be said to be related to their side. There is no connection at all. To such a plane, let alone the Time Government, even the Time Travel Army would not go there.
In addition, it has been such a long time, it is normal for the owner to forget a character in the game.
In fact, she quickly accepted her and Yao Yan's identities and origins at that time because she still had a little impression of the game. Otherwise, they might not have stayed by her side so easily and she would not have been willing to provide them with spiritual power.
"Yes." Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who had figured it out, explained to her, "Taro and Jiro were both once enshrined in the shrine's large swords."
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Tsurumaru, since you have nothing to do later, why don't you go with me to maintain the sword?"
"What?" His master's topic jumped around a bit, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga was a little slow to follow.
