I won't tell the field I like him

Qi Yin, the owner of the Xishan courtyard, sneaked into the gate of his house and tiptoed back to the room.

She is exhausted, she needs to take a bath to relieve herself——

She called out, "Ayaka, put down the hot water for me, I want to take a bath."

After the order, he began to unload the equipment.

Taking off his coat and backpack, Qi Yin took out the bounty he got today in a good mood, and was about to put it away when the door was opened.

She thought it was Ayaka, and wondered why Ayaka opened the door so hard today, but when she raised her head, she met her mother's red eyes.

The heart tightened instantly, Qi Yin opened her lips, a little at a loss: "Mom, why are you here?"

She smiled awkwardly and explained, "I went shopping with Misaki-senpai today, so I came back a bit late..."

"What is that?" Qi Yin's mother interrupted her, pointing to the cash on the table.

Qi Yin's face became more and more unsightly, and she said stubbornly, "It's the money I made from selling charms a few days ago..."

"You got rid of the demon, didn't you?" Qi Yin's mother didn't believe her lie at all, strode up to her, and asked, "You secretly did the dangerous job of removing the demon without telling me, isn't that the case? "

Prayer: "..."

Qi Yin stared blankly at her mother's red eyes, lowered her head, and clenched her hands tightly.

After a long time, she admitted.

"Yes, I removed the demon." Her nervous voice had calmed down, "Is there any problem?"

Her mother's face was blue, and she couldn't help raising her voice, her tone was agitated, "What's the problem? How could you do such a dangerous thing? In case, in case something happens..."

"I am the head of the Xishanyuan family. It is impossible to hide at home all my life and make a living by drawing symbols." Xishanyuan Qiyin reminded in a deep voice, "Our family's ancestors have been demon masters for generations, my father is, I am, even Mother, you...don't you too?"

Yes, like my father, my mother was born in the demon-killing family. Although the family is small, the talent is very high.

After falling in love with his father and getting married, the two fought side by side together, and spent a long time of loving and exterminating demons together.

Until my mother was injured by a monster during a certain demon-eliminating mission.

The injury that time was extremely serious, not only had a physical impact on the mother, but also seriously affected her thoughts.

She was scared.She began to escape, only painting and arranging flowers at home, not wanting to face the world full of monsters outside.

Her father felt sorry for her, so he no longer forced her, and since then went out to work alone.

Everything in the family was barely in balance until last year when my father passed away and my mother collapsed.

Seeing her worried mother in front of her, Xishanyuan Qiyin couldn't say anything serious.She gently took her mother's hand and said softly: "Mom, it's okay if you stay at home, I will try my best to support the family."

Her mother, however, wept and shook her head.

"Ayin, mom regrets..."

Since the former Patriarch of Xishanyuan passed away, the wife of Xishanyuan has aged ten years.Her youthful face was no longer beautiful, and the corners of her eyes were covered with fine wrinkles. She choked up and said, "How can such a big family be supported by you alone? In case something happens to you one day, mom... Mom... what to do?"

She couldn't imagine the days when her husband left without even her daughter. She almost collapsed and begged, "Let's put everything down and start over, shall we? Mom is good at arranging flowers. She can teach students how to arrange flowers... You finish high school well, Whether you want to go on to college or start a family, it's up to you."

"Ayin, I beg you, give up the business of exorcising demons, and return to the life of ordinary people with my mother, okay?"

Mrs. Xishanyuan held Qi Yin's hand tightly, her eyes full of anticipation.

But her expectations were in vain.

"Sorry mom... I can't promise you." Qi Yin let go of her mother's hand, closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "My surname is Xishanyuan, and I am the head of the Xishanyuan family. I will shoulder the responsibility."

"How can you carry such a big responsibility by yourself?" Qi Yin's mother shook her head vigorously, "I know you are a responsible child, and you have been sensible since you were a child, but Ayin, there is no one at home who can help you ..."

"Your uncles have all left regardless of the family. The exorcising masters who once followed the Xishanyuan family have also changed their targets."

"Does it really depend on the Chang family for the rest of their lives? But if they had kept their promise and protected the Xishanyuan family, how could your father have been attacked and killed by a monster on the way to get rid of the monster!" "That's enough mom, don't talk about it. Xishanyuan Qiyin interrupted her mother, "The decline of our family...has nothing to do with the Chang family. I think you know about Dad's situation back then."

"But...but..." Mrs. Xishanyuan still wanted to persuade her daughter.

Qi Yin shook her head and took her hand again.

"Mom, you go away. I know you can't face monsters anymore, and I know that you will have nightmares every night when you live at home. Don't worry, I will take care of myself and nothing will happen to me."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xishanyuan's eyes widened.

She just wanted to say something, Qi Yin didn't give her a chance to refuse, and said with the majesty of the Patriarch: "I have already decided."

After that, the mother was in a daze for a long time, then gave her a deep look, and left her room in a daze.

After finally convincing her mother, Xishanyuan Qiyin fell on the bed, staring blankly at the light tube on the ceiling in a daze.

What a chance.

Such a good opportunity to escape from fate, to follow the mother's wishes, to let go of everything with peace of mind, was just lost.

But she doesn't regret it.

When she was a child, Qi Yin once told Zhang Jingsi provocatively, don't get complacent too early, the Chang family will definitely lose in the future.

Zhang Jingsi was not angry at the time, but told her after a smile that he would not let the family down.

They were born in a family of exorcising demons, received the favor of the family, and also inherited the responsibilities of the family.

From the day Qi Yin became sensible, she knew the path she would take in the future.She won't be like other demon extermination masters who can't even firm up the most basic beliefs.

She wants to inherit what her ancestors have passed down.

Also, stand in the same place as him, see the same world.

How is it possible to escape?

She is, she will never lose to him.

***

The next day is Monday.After getting up, Qi Yin went to the hall to have breakfast, drank a sip of soup and asked Ayaka, "Where's mother?"

Ayaka gave the hand that was serving her rice a meal, then smiled and said, "Madam left last night, she said she wanted to go out to get some air."

"Alright." Qi Yin wasn't too surprised, she guessed the result when she said those words last night.

Mother stayed at home for too long and was always afraid of the outside world, Qi Yin thought it would be good to let her go out to relax.

I have been worrying and fearing in the world of eliminating demons all my life, and it is time to rest.I hope that by the time she wants to come back, she has grown into a qualified Patriarch who doesn't need her to worry about.

"Is the money at home still enough?" After breakfast, and there is still a little time to go to school, Qi Yin took out the ledger, frowned, and glanced at the expenditures of the past few months, "Last month spent So much money..."

"It rained for half a month last month, and the roof of the west courtyard was leaking, making it uninhabitable, so we had to find someone to repair it." Ayaka sighed.

It would be fine if there was no one living in the house, but those who lived in the West Courtyard were some demon exorcists who had been following the Xishan Courtyard family since the decline of the Xishan Courtyard family.

Although these monster exterminations are not strong, they are very loyal. Now that the situation is difficult, they have been working hard to accept external commissions and make money for the family.

Xishanyuan Qiyin naturally knew this too.As the head of the house, it is impossible for her to let her family live in a leaky house, and besides, some of the monster exorcisers have married and brought a few children under the age of ten.

"It's time to make money..." Qi Yin sighed.

Too many charms were drawn, and they were unsalable and could not be sold.As for commissions with rewards, in the highly competitive world of exterminating demons, it is not easy to receive them.

In order to improve her living conditions, she must make use of all fragmentary leisure time.

Part-time job.

Must go to work.

With this belief in mind, during lunch break, Qiyin mentioned her troubles to her friend Misaki while eating a bento: "Because of various reasons, my family can hardly afford food..."

Ayuzawa Misaki was taken aback and coughed: "Ahem, cough, what happened, is it all right?"

"It's nothing, just a little short of money, so I'm going to find a part-time job."

"I see..." Misaki Ayuzawa breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, at least nothing serious happened.

Qi Yin asked, "Speaking of which, I remember Misaki, you seem to be working part-time?"

Ayuzawa Misaki's face instantly became strange.

After laughing dryly, she rubbed the back of her head and stammered, "Yes, that's right..." "Hey, what exactly is the job?" Qi Yin suddenly remembered that after the two became friends, she hadn't asked each other carefully about this. Something, a little curious.

Ayuzawa Misaki looked away guiltily, "It's just a very ordinary family restaurant waiter..."

"Waiter, are you tired?"

"It's, it's okay." Ayuzawa Misaki smiled awkwardly, "Just get used to it, I'm fine!"

"That's good." Qi Yin nodded and sighed, "If I can find a job, I can quickly subsidize my family."

Ayuzawa Misaki sincerely encouraged her: "It will definitely work!"

"Thank you."

Qiyin smiled slightly.

In fact, she is quite confident in herself, so she decided to go to the street to have a look after school today.

***

So, after school.

Qi Yin came to the city center and asked about restaurants, supermarkets, and small shops one by one.

It's a pity that they happen to be not recruiting.

There are too many students working part-time these days. If there is no news channel, it is really difficult to find a job in the first place.

Qi Yin sighed in frustration, and was about to go home and continue drawing spells, when suddenly, a petite figure stopped her.

"Well, I went shopping in the supermarket just now, and I happened to hear you, my classmate, talking to the store manager... If I heard correctly, are you looking for a job?"

The speaker was a young woman with pretty short hair and a gorgeous maid outfit.

Qi Yin didn't know why a maid stopped her, but she replied politely: "Yes, I'm looking for a job."

The maid's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands happily, "That's great!"

She leaned in front of Qi Yin and warmly invited, "Do you want to work in my store? I am the store manager, and I can hire you immediately!"

"Going to work in your shop...?"

It's good to have a job coming to your door, but Qi Yin subconsciously glanced at the maid outfit on the other party and felt a little bad, "Could it be..."

"That's right, it's a maid cafe!"

Prayer: "..."

Qi Yin turned around and wanted to leave.

It's true that she is short of money, and she doesn't mind working as a waitress in a family restaurant like Misaki, but how is it possible for a maid cafe? !

She is the eldest lady of the Xishanyuan family, even if she is a coolie, she should not role-play a maid in the coffee shop!

This is... too unscrupulous! ?

"Sorry, forget it." Qi Yin nodded awkwardly to the manager of the maid shop, ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, just after walking a few steps, I heard the delicate little store manager say behind her: "The hourly salary is 2000 yen."

Qi Yin's foot stopped.

2000 yen an hour? ? ?

This is already twice the hourly wage of an ordinary convenience store!

If she worked four hours a day, wouldn't she have nearly [-] yen?

If I play a little more on weekends, then a month will be...

Clenching hands tightly, the family is in a difficult situation, no matter how proud you are, you have to bow to fate.

"Please let me work in your store, store manager."

Taking a deep breath, Qi Yin withdrew her disgusted expression, raised a moving smile, and said sincerely: "I am very interested in this job."

Store manager: "..."

The quick change of face did not make the store manager feel dissatisfied at all.

Looking at Qi Yin's gentle smile, she felt soft all over, and her heart beat faster and faster.

So, so cute.

Her vision was indeed correct, this child will definitely become a maid who is very popular with guests!
