Chapter 34 New Task
"I'll do this." Li Xia nodded to Fujino, then walked out of the counter and stood in front of Kirigiri Shimizu. He said, "Miss Shimizu, are you here to see me for something?"
Kirigiri Shimizu was very beautiful, there was no doubt about that. Her beauty was the kind of delicate beauty, her facial features were like carved by the god of craftsmen, there was no flaw, her white hair made her look like a goddess who came out of the myth, not tainted by a trace of worldly breath.
But today she wore a milky white dress and a pair of flesh-colored stockings, which made people feel that she was out of place with her cold aura. After all, a cold and gorgeous woman, always seemed strange.
"I came to see you." Kirigiri Shimizu answered coldly, even though it was a caring word, there was no warmth from her mouth. She said that and stared straight at Li Xia.
"Uh..." Li Xia felt uncomfortable by her gaze, he pointed to a seat by the window and said, "Sit here first."
Kirigiri Shimizu went straight to the seat he pointed and sat down.
Li Xia brought a cup of coffee and placed it on the table, then sat down in front of Kirigiri Shimizu.
The two of them awkwardly locked eyes, and it felt like the temperature in the air had dropped a few degrees.
Li Xia's feelings towards Kirigiri Shimizu were complicated. Although Kirigiri Shimizu was eccentric, her principles matched her appearance. It couldn't be said that Li Xia disliked Kirigiri Shimizu.
Moreover, Li Xia felt that he owed Kirigiri Shimizu for saving him from the ghoul on the first day.
"Thank you for helping with Yagami Tsubame's situation," Li Xia struggled to find a topic.
"It's my job," Kirigiri Shimizu replied calmly, ending the conversation with simplicity and directness.
After they finished speaking, they locked eyes again, and the air once again became filled with an awkward atmosphere. It was clear that Kirigiri Shimizu wasn't skilled at small talk.
In reality, Kirigiri Shimizu was also anxious. After the sudden drop in trust from Li Xia, from ten percent to three percent, she watched her efforts from the previous Task go to waste. This left her extremely puzzled, which is why she hurriedly came to find Li Xia.
But after meeting, she didn't know what to say. After all, in her world, there were only battles and Tasks. Dealing with people was something he was not familiar with.
The two of them locked eyes for a few seconds. Li Xia took a deep breath and tentatively spoke, "I'm sorry, can I learn more about that world?"
This was his carefully considered decision. Within just three days, he had encountered several strange incidents, and Fujino was still staying at his house.
Li Xia believed that he would continue to encounter such things in the future. Instead of avoiding them, it was better to face them head-on. If they really happened, he wouldn't be caught off guard.
Kirigiri Shimizu frowned. It wasn't that she didn't want to teach Li Xia about the dark side, but she didn't want to involve him in this world. Often, the more one knows, the more dangerous it becomes.
Before she could speak, a notification sound rang in her mind.
"Ding, detected keywords, Task triggered."
"Random Task (1/3): Child's Request."
"Task Description: As a qualified mother, you cannot refuse a child's sincere request, even if it may not sound reasonable."
"Task objective: Make Li Xia deeply experience another world (0/10)."
"Task deadline: 48 hours, countdown starts in 10 seconds, 10, 9, 8..."
"Note: Upon completing three Tasks, rewards will be given based on evaluation."
"..." Shimizu's face showed no expression, but her heart was in turmoil. She discovered a very problematic mechanism in the system for this sudden task.
The system does not have a filtering mechanism for task content, or perhaps, in the system's view, the ethics of the world are not important.
Due to Li Xia having the highest priority in task production authorization, this leads to a very serious consequence, which is that whatever he says or requests, almost certainly generates a task.
In other words, no matter how absurd the request Li Xia makes, she must agree.
"Um... So, if I make unreasonable requests, I apologize." Li Xia, seeing her expressionless face, not saying anything, couldn't help but feel uneasy, wondering if he made some unreasonable requests.
Shimizu, reminded by him, immediately came back to her senses, took a deep look at Li Xia, nodded: "Alright, I'll come find you tomorrow."
After saying that, she stood up directly, looked at Li Xia's strange eyes, turned around and left, and just left the coffee shop.
Li Xia was left sitting there alone and messy, and she just left, so what on earth did she come here for today.
"Hey, snap out of it!" Fujino's head popped up from behind, kneeling in the seat behind Li Xia with her chest resting on top of his head, playfully saying, "That lady has already left."
"Hey, don't put your chest on my head," Li Xia shrunk his head from the side and stood up, asking, "And what's up?"
Fujino smiled and pointed to the clock on the wall, and Li Xia finally noticed that it was already 10 pm, their closing time.
"Got it, I'll start cleaning up. Senior, get ready to close," Li Xia glanced around, noticing two customers still chatting. Once they leave, he can close the shop.
"Aren't you coming?" Fujino tilted her head, looking innocent and said, "We're both going to clean up anyway."
"...," Li Xia looked at Chie's innocent face and twitched his mouth, "Please, Senior, behave yourself."
After saying that, he didn't want to pay attention to her anymore and turned around to clean up.
"Oh, really?" Fujino leaned over from his left side, smiling mischievously. "For guys, the first time should be a truly enjoyable experience, right?"
*Cough, cough.* Li Xia took a few steps back. After going through some experiences together, his senior seemed to be getting bolder, although she still had that silly and sweet face. He didn't know which version of her was the real one.
In Li Xia's mind, images suddenly appeared of their past interactions. Like the time she accidentally spilled water on her chest, causing her uniform to become see-through. Or when she bent down in front of him, allowing his gaze to meet her heart directly through her collar. And sitting behind the counter, lifting her skirt slightly, revealing a clear view of her inner thigh.
"Oh, damn." Li Xia suddenly realized that his senior had been intentionally teasing him in front of him for a long time. But back then, he only saw her as silly and sweet, so he didn't pay much attention.
Seemingly understanding what he was thinking, Fujino winked at him and went to the changing room.
Time quickly passed into the late night. Li Xia locked the door, and Fujino had already changed into casual clothes - a white sleeveless dress that made her look youthful and beautiful.
Of course, with her figure, she probably had nothing to do with cuteness in this life.
"Senior..." Li Xia walked behind her, thought for a moment, and finally asked: "Can you tell me why you used to do those little tricks?"
