Chapter 233: The Demon Sword Girl on the Rooftop
"There's no time to be happy about this kind of thing! It's been decided! Let's have a celebration banquet tonight! Celebrate the expiry of all members of the group~"
Erina said this proudly, paused, and then added some explanation.
"And you think about it, if we wait until the establishment is confirmed before celebrating, wouldn't we miss a celebration banquet? Considering this, we can only hold the first party today!"
"So you actually just want to have one more big meal!"
After Yoshiyuki finished complaining like this, he noticed that Sakurayuki Chiai looked slightly embarrassed.
This reminded him that Sister Yingxue's family situation was not very good and she might not be able to afford the party. So, after the elevator reached the rooftop, he deliberately pulled Erina aside and whispered this.
"Miss, I want to talk to you about things we need to consider when we hold group activities such as dinner parties in the name of the group club in the future."
"Oh! Not bad, he looks a bit like a deputy minister! Then I'm all ears!"
"Sister Yingxue's family is not well off. So if we want to go out to play, we must pay attention to the scale of consumption. Otherwise, sister Yingxue will either not participate because she cannot afford the money, or she will spend too much living expenses on eating, buying tickets, etc. at the event , resulting in having to live even more financially. No matter which outcome, we don’t want to see it, right?”
"Well... indeed. If you ask her, she would probably be too embarrassed to accept it... Servant, how do you think we can solve this problem?"
"How about this?" Yoshiyuki suggested in a low voice: "Let's pay for today's meal. Not just for Sister Yingxue, but in the name of thanking everyone for helping to establish the dumpling club, and as a minister, we will pay for it. That's great It’s reasonable and she won’t feel bad about it.”
"Indeed~ But it was solved today, what will we do in the future? Our club is different from sports and arts that often have training camps, so we can't get much school funding! We can't just not go out to play all the time, right? If Sakura Xue is willing to let me treat you, so I don’t mind...but she’s not that kind of person!”
"So I think that Sakurajima allows students to work anyway, so the Dango Club should organize everyone to use the holidays to do collective part-time work or something to earn money? When everyone goes out to play, they will pay from this public fund. In addition, The process of working is itself a kind of activity.”
When Yoshiyuki said this, his tone paused, and then he suggested this enthusiastically.
"In addition, we have a great advantage in that all our members are capable of fighting, right? So part-time jobs are not even limited to regular leaflet distribution, being a waiter, etc. It is also possible to help solve some monsters and weird incidents to earn income. . This can be regarded as fulfilling the agreement between us and the head of the family."
"That's right, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me!"
"Don't forget!"
This is not actually a formal agreement, but an idea that Hongshou and Hongshou came up with to convince the head of the family to agree.
First of all, the master comforted the head of the family and made the old man feel that the apprentice he taught was definitely strong enough to protect the Underworld Miko...
Secondly, together with Erina's parents, they tried to impress the old man with his love for his granddaughter, telling him how pitiful Erina was while being under house arrest in the village, and that at least they had allowed her to have fun outside for the past three years, etc. In short, they were trying to gain sympathy. .
Finally, it is proposed that Yoshiyuki and the two of them can better use their abilities to deal with demons and evil spirits in Tokyo. Not only can it help many people, but it can also bring honor to the Yida family. In this way, they are happy, the people being helped are happy, and the Yida family also gets a good reputation. This is killing three birds with one stone.
On the surface, it seems that all three aspects are essential for the old man to agree to release.
But in fact, judging from the current situation, even if the matter was not mentioned at the beginning, the old man of the house would have agreed after losing his temper.
It can be clearly judged that the head of the family did not allow them to stay in Tokyo because of this additional condition.
But there’s nothing wrong with doing more good things.
Moreover, in this way, the opposition of those Yida tribesmen who do not support their coming to Tokyo can be reduced.
All in all, Yoshiyuki's proposal was approved by Erina. Think this is a pretty good idea.
Finding those paid weirdos would be difficult on their own. This kind of part-time job is so special that it needs help from people with many connections or related practitioners to help introduce it.
Therefore, you need to ask people like Master, Gunslinger Shimamura, and Shimizu Tamako.
There are also several students on the rooftop of the high-rise building. Some of them were sitting on chairs to rest, while others were overlooking the sky at the edge of the railing, indulging in the wonderful scenery.
Even here, the ground is dotted with cherry blossoms falling from the Sakura Goddess tree - but because the roof of the clock tower library is quite high, higher than the crown of the Sakura Goddess tree, the fallen cherry blossoms are not How could it easily get here?
In fact, the rooftop is not the top of the building.
Because, in the center of the rooftop, there is a Gothic spire bell tower.
It acts as a lightning rod, directing nearby lightning into the spikes protruding from the top of the tower.
Above the clock tower, there is a round colorful glass window and a mechanical dial made of a large number of brass gears.
In a clock tower with this kind of structure, the big bell cannot be seen from the outside.
However, as long as you walk into the clock tower and look up, you can see the hanging bell high up.
Yoshiyuki had never heard the bell ring. Therefore, it probably did not have a clock-ringing device, let alone someone to ring the bell on time.
The purpose is probably to avoid affecting students' learning.
Just like in the botanical garden, there are trash cans and vending machines on the rooftop. If this is not a school building, it will probably have a designated smoking area.
At first, Yoshiyuki took a cursory glance around and didn't find Xiaoji, so he thought she had gone up to the clock tower and was ready to go in and have a look.
However, since it was new to come here for the first time, Yoshiyuki looked around a few more times and accidentally discovered the figure of Demon Sword Princess!
Xiao Ji is now standing in front of a machine selling drinks, holding coins that were probably fished out of the wishing well, and inserting them into the coin hole.
I didn't see her just now, it seemed because Xiaoji was too short before, and her figure was blocked by two students who were looking at her.
Because it was very interesting, Yoshiyuki temporarily stopped everyone from approaching, just like observing the black and white cats, observing what the Demon Sword Princess wanted to buy.
After inserting the coin, she stared at the vending machine for a long time. Her little hand was dangling in the air, as if she was looking at something, and then she moved her fingers to the corresponding position to align with it.
It took her more than a minute to decide what she wanted to buy, and her fingers stopped in front of the coffee. After that, he moved his finger to the button corresponding to the coffee number and pressed it lightly.
An extremely surprising thing happened!
