After Gulefiya left, the atmosphere in the store returned to its usual calm.

Ainz, Rimuru, and Fafnir all sat at the bar.

They didn't immediately go back to play the game.

And Rias was sitting in the middle.

The girl's expression seemed to be a little frightened.

There was still a look of shock on her face, and her eyes looked at Ainz and the others from time to time.

The shock in the pupils has not dissipated yet...

"How do you know what's going on outside?"

Kamisaka Yuuto is referring to the fact that these three people were obviously playing games but noticed what was going on in the store just now.

Once the VR helmet is put on, it will be isolated from the outside world.

Unless you shake your body, the other party will not notice it at all. external situation

"It's magic power. The abnormality in magic power just now made me realize that something was wrong. Although I was playing a game, my body's induction of magic power was not wrong."

Rimuru explained.

Ainz and Fafnir also nodded.

They had basically the same reason as Rimuru.

The magic power released by Gurefia just now made their bodies feel something was wrong, and they were alarmed. If they are disturbed by just ordinary words or noise, they will not be allowed to do this.

"Fortunately, we can sense the abnormality of magic power, otherwise that woman would really make trouble. Next time Kamisaka happens, you should just shake us awake."

Ainz said to Kamisaka Yuuto with some dissatisfaction.

He really regarded Kamisaka Yuuto as a friend, that's why he said these words.

If Kamisaka Yuuto hadn't called a pause just now, he would have really planned to kill him directly. Grafia's

"OK, I will do it next time."

Kamisaka Yuuto's face was both helpless and apologetic.

I have to say that Ainz's words and actions really made him a little happy and moved.

"Now that everything is fine, let's continue the game. How high has your level reached? Where have all the tasks been accomplished?"

Fafnir looked at Ainz and Rimuru coldly.

As he asked, it was obvious that Ainz and Rimuru's bodies suddenly became much stiffer.

"No more talking, let’s upgrade now"——Rimuru

"No more talking, let’s go and complete the mission."——Ainz

The two of them sat back down in despair, then put on their helmets and entered the game again.

Fafnir snorted coldly, scolded him for not making any progress, and then continued playing the game.

At this point, the only ones left in front of the bar are Kamisaka Yuuto and Rias.

"Want a cup of tea?"

Kamisaka Yuuto chuckled and said to the devil girl in front of him.

Rias was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"Thank you store manager"

"You're welcome."

Kamisaka Yuuto smiled and walked into the kitchen.

He took out a cup, grabbed a small cluster of tea leaves and put it in, and then poured hot water into it.

As the water was poured in, the tea leaves began to rise in the cup. They began to dance.

They were flying like thin dancing girls.

Kamisaka Yuuto took it out and placed it in front of Rias.

After taking the cup, the girl thanked Kamisaka Yuuto softly.

She raised her head slightly and dipped it lightly. She put down the cup of tea. She could only take a sip of the hot tea. But even this small taste made Rias look much better.

"So, what to eat?"

Kamisaka Yuuto asked with a smile.

His eyes looked at Rias's gently and calmly.

Rias felt a little uneasy.

She thought Kanzaka Yuuto would directly ask about what happened just now.... but not...

"That...Just be simpler..."

After hesitating for a moment, she gave the answer weakly.

She didn't mention the specific cuisine.

Her heart still hasn't calmed down yet.

In the confusion, she didn't know what to eat at the moment.

Kamisaka Yuuto looked slightly thoughtful and then nodded.

"I know, wait a minute."

He turned around and left to the back kitchen.

He took out a few sausages, cut them in half and put flower knife on their ends.

After heating the oil in the pot, he pulled the sausages into the pot.

He gently When you fiddle with chopsticks lightly, the part with the flower knife at the end of these sausages explodes when heated. This is the prototype of octopus sausage.

As time goes by, the color of octopus sausage gradually turns deep red.

A rich and burnt smell gradually drifted out of the kitchen.

Rias, who was sitting in the middle of the bar, looked at the back of Kami Saka Yuuto quietly. From his position, he could see the back of Kami Saka Yuuto cooking. , if Kanzaka Yuuto turned a little to the side, she wouldn't be able to see it.

Amidst the sizzling sound of oil and the faint fragrance, Rias's eyes gradually became a little absent-minded.

It was very calm and made her feel sad. Emotions rippled in her heart.

Her alcoholism that had dissipated seemed to surge up again at this time.

Her vision was a little blurry.

The warm yellow light in the shop gradually turned into a hazy ball of light.

Even Kanzako Yuuto's figure gradually became blurry and unclear.

The sad thoughts in her heart were flowing like a stream under the moonlit night. It was cold and cold, but also long....

At this time, the vague figure in the distance gradually walked in.

Then it gradually became clear again.

The figure also held a plate in his hand.

The girl looked up at Kamisaka Yuuto

"Try it, it's very good."

Kamisaka Yuuto said with a chuckle.

He put down the plate gently and then pushed it in front of Rias with his hand.

On the plate were octopus intestines one by one.

They were cute and attractive, and they also exuded There was a tempting aroma.

Rias looked at the octopus intestines blankly, she was a little silent for a moment.

"Thanks."

When she spoke, her voice was slightly hoarse.

She picked up an octopus intestine with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

The warmth of this bite made her heart feel like a ray of sunshine in winter.

The warmth of this moment made her heart feel She was happy, but the next moment there was a sourness.

It was like the bitterness that the juice penetrates into the back of the tongue after biting an unripe fruit.

Suddenly there was a feeling of confusion or a sense of loss in her heart. emerged...

At the same time, some scenes flashed through my mind....

The quarrel with his elder brother...

She stayed up all night alone in the middle of the night...

Various scenes flashed through her mind and faded.

They are intertwined and integrated...

In the end, everything turned into a gray color with unclear appearance.

It's like it's covered with a layer of gray cloth...

When she blinked her eyes subconsciously, a tear fell on the back of her hand.

The warmth of that moment of contact and the coldness after it was scattered made Rias wake up.

She touched her face at this time.

I don't know when, her cheeks were covered with tears...

"Just rub it."

A gentle voice sounded, and a tissue was handed over at the same time.

Rias raised her head and looked at Kamisaka Yuuto.

It was an extremely reassuring smile and eyes.

She subconsciously reached out and took the tissue.

The tissue gently flicked He passed through her eyes and took away the tears, but Rias's eyes were still a little red.

Kamisaka Yuuto sighed softly in his heart.

The moment the girl shed tears, he saw her extreme vulnerability.

At this time, It wasn't appropriate to open his mouth to comfort him.

He didn't know the whole story, he was just an outsider.

How could he feel the pain of being in the center if he was an outsider?

He quietly watched Rias finish eating the octopus intestines without saying a word.

Rias's expression fell into a long-lasting calmness after eating the octopus intestines.

Her eyes looked at the empty plate on the table.

It was so empty that it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

"Store manager..."

After a long silence, she finally spoke, but she spoke intermittently.

After a second or two, she picked up again

"Thanks."

She was thanking Kamisaka Yuuto.

Tonight, Kamisaka Yuuto's actions allowed her to escape once

"No need to thank you, this is just my duty as a store manager. Since you said you want to eat, I should let you eat, right?"

Kamisaka Yuuto said with a chuckle.

Rias was somewhat infected by the ease and joy of his words when she heard his words, and the corners of the girl's mouth finally showed a curve.

It was an extremely stunning smile, as if it had been blocked by dark clouds. The moonlight finally showed up flawlessly

"Store manager...About the devil...That's where my brother is...I'm sorry that you got into this unreasonable disaster!"

Rias bit her lip lightly, feeling regretful and uneasy.

She had rushed to the store in a flash of her mind, but now she realized how much trouble her behavior would bring to Kamisaka Yuuto after she came back to her senses.

She My brother is the Demon King. Although he is usually very kind, he is the one named the Demon King after all. His anger is far beyond what ordinary people can resist.

"You don’t need to apologize for this. If customers who want to eat are forcibly taken away in my store, it will be my fault. I will not allow this kind of thing."

"As for what will be involved behind the scenes, that is also my responsibility, not the responsibility of the guests."

Kamisaka Yuuto said calmly.

Every store manager who opens a store will have some rules that belong to them.

And Kamisaka Yuuto's rule is that besides the customers, he is the biggest in the store.

Rias was dumb.

She pursed her lips slightly, The complicated emotions in her heart were like rolling waves.

In the end, she exhaled softly

"Store manager, would you like to hear a story?"

She looked at Kamisaka Yuuto, her eyes as dazzling as a ball of fire were full of fatigue and fatigue.

This made her eyes like pearls covered with dust.

Kamisaka Yuuto nodded slightly.

Rias sighed quietly. Then she opened her mouth.

Her voice was soft and melodious, but there was an obvious sense of exhaustion in it.

She was telling the story of a girl.

This girl was born in a noble family and has enjoyed life since she was born. Although she had a good life, she did not give up her efforts.

The girl gradually grew up, and in the process her family gradually revealed its crisis.

The lack of heirs put the aristocratic family at risk of being attacked.

Finally, the girl's death The parents came up with an idea.

That was marriage.

An alliance was achieved by marrying a girl to another noble family to solve the original risks of the noble family.

Even though the girl was unwilling in her heart, she still agreed with a forced smile.

Because she knew that this was a solution. The only way to solve the family crisis.

Even if she has her own thoughts, she must take the overall situation into consideration at this time. She must save this family.

Even if the person she wants to marry is terrible, she must endure it....

But his patience finally broke out when he was drunk.

The girl had a violent conflict with her family and then ran away from home.

Even though her family sent people to look for her, she refused to go back...

Rias shed tears again while talking.

How could Yuuto Kanzaka not know that the girl was Rias when he saw this scene?...

He reached out and patted Rias on the shoulder, and presented another stack of tissues.

Regarding Rias's story, he didn't want to directly evaluate which party did something wrong in a one-sided and arbitrary way.

Every party in this story seems to be right, but it seems that every party is wrong....

Little self and big self...freedom and order...These things can never be distinguished as right from wrong.

They are entangled and twisted with each other, thus forming this complex world.

Rias cried and cried but lost her voice.

Her body was lying on the table at some point, her head was resting on her arm, her eyes were closed, and her breathing became softer.

After a long period of suffering and pain, Rias's spirit finally reached a limit.

After pouring out everything and crying like a catharsis, she finally found peace in her heart.

It's easy for herOn fire.

Kamisaka Yuuto sighed softly, and the corners of his mouth curved helplessly.

It seems that there is no way to send the girl away tonight...

That...Just sleep peacefully

I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.

The editor asked us not to update. I just said it was okay, but it didn’t seem to show that I was subscribed or something. I didn’t follow it either.

Today was quite miserable. After finishing the 50-meter physical test in the afternoon, I lost my house key (I live outside and found it out), and then I didn’t go home until after eight o’clock....

It’s really a shame...

I have to go get the keys tomorrow...
