Chapter 9 Lucky Mutual Aid Club
Heita Inuyama asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"Of course you are here to learn and communicate." Qian Xiaoyi spread his hands and said: "From Broadly speaking, this mutual aid group and I are still together."
"Where are we?" Inuyama Heita complained: "You have nothing in common, right? Ling Office."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "They all use similar methods to make money, why are they not colleagues? Why did you come here? Could it be that you finally made up your mind? Become a partner of justice and learn how to transform into a magical girl. Can you defeat all the evil forces? ”
"How is that possible..." Heita Inuyama sighed and briefly told Suzuki what happened.
"I see~ Are you here to confirm the status of your classmates?" Qian Xiaoyi glanced at the smiling female receptionist at the door of the venue far away in the corridor and said: "Anyway, go in first, this is not a chat place. It’s a good place, don’t attract attention and let others know that we know each other. You must know that peers are most afraid of prying into business secrets.”
“...” Inuyama Heita wanted to continue to complain, but for the sake of it. Without attracting attention, he still endured it, walked to the door of the venue, and took out the flyer Matsui gave him.
The receptionist at the door took it and looked at it. After confirming that it was correct, he handed him a number plate with a smile: "You are a newcomer who was invited. Welcome to join the mutual aid meeting. There are free drinks and Please enjoy the snacks as you like, and please take your seats according to the number when the party starts.”
Qian Xiaoyi didn’t have the flyer, but he took out his mobile phone and opened a certain webpage, waved it in front of the reception: “I have it. Register online and pay.”
"Please take your seat according to the number. I wish you good luck." The receptionist handed him a number plate sweetly: "Welcome to join the mutual aid club for the first time. This place will definitely help you in your life."
"Hey~ I hope so." Qian Xiaoyi muttered, with a mocking look on his face In a flash, the good-looking waitress didn't notice at all that there was a small, green to black palm print on the back of her neck. Even a psychic with Yin and Yang eyes like Heita Inuyama would notice it on her hair. Even under the cover, nothing strange could be seen. Only Qian Xiaoyi noticed it.
Qian Xiaoyi followed Heita Inuyama calmly into the venue. Unlike the dark scene of a cult gathering that he imagined, the Lucky Mutual Aid Club venue was brightly decorated, and the long tables on the side were filled with After buying a variety of snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, members who looked full of energy gathered together in twos and threes, chatting about home affairs with glowing faces. If you didn’t know better, you would have thought this was a neighborhood gathering. In short, the atmosphere was harmonious. Get a batch.
"It's a little different from what was expected..." Heita Inuyama said in surprise: "I thought it would be...more abnormal."
"If the trap can be seen at a glance, If the prey sees it, it won't be called a trap." Qian Xiaoyi turned his head as if he saw something, and said in a deep voice: "Follow me, go over there, and behave naturally."
"Huh? What?" Inuyama Heita didn't know why. He didn't find anything noteworthy in that direction, but he and Qian Xiaoyi pretended not to know each other and slowly moved over.
Then he saw Qian Xiaoyi coming to the long table, taking a plate, and starting to pile food on it, including small cakes and macarons, and even secretly packed some The food was stuffed into his pocket, and his movements were extremely natural.
"You...what are you doing?" Heita Inuyama also took a plate next to him, pretended to hold snacks, and whispered: "Are we here to do this?!" "What' We'? I didn't come with you." Qian Xiaoyi ate a macaron without stopping, and the sweetness hit his throat. He took the macaron back on the plate and focused on it. Little Cake casually replied: "I paid money to sign up. This time the entrance fee is several thousand yen. It can last me several days and is worth a mid-range all-you-can-eat buffet." , what’s wrong with taking something away? But don’t forget our financial situation, and don’t forget the identity of the organizer. I have no psychological burden at all to take advantage of them.”
"It seems... makes sense." Inuyama Heita was actually convinced by Qian Xiaoyi, and the two of them began to sweep away the snacks on the long table, for fear that they would not be able to get their money back. There is no way, these two are used to searching for goods, and they wish they could break them in half for a penny. They only buy discounted goods and rarely buy desserts. This time, of course, they need to make up for the sugar they usually lack.
"Heita-kun, you are here after all."
Just when Inuyama Heita was busy eating and drinking, almost forgetting what he came for, a greeting startled him and he almost touched the food in his hand. It was all spilled.
Matsui was still dressed in the same black suit that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, with a mask-like smile on his face, and asked: "How are you? Are the snacks we prepared to your liking?"< br>
Inuyama Hei is too shameless and has no money. Xiao Yi is a thick social person. When facing the other party’s teasing eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of Feeling ashamed of catching a thief and grabbing stolen goods, he could only stop what he was doing, but he reacted the next moment and asked sternly: "No! You are lying to me! Where is Suzuki-san? Where is she?"
"The momentum is good." Matsui maintained a smile and said: "It would be better if there was no cream on his face."
Inuyama Heita was startled and quickly wiped his face with his sleeve. He was instantly discouraged and his courage gradually lost as his momentum weakened.
Qian Xiaoyi shook his head secretly at the side: "Silly boy, with little social experience, he was manipulated by others with words and applause..." He was eating a small cake and looking at that person with the corner of his eye. The man in a suit, known as Matsui, was thinking about something.
"You haven't answered my question yet." Thinking that there were still people around him, Inuyama Heita became bolder again and asked, "Answer me!"
Matsui asked with a smile. : "Why are you so concerned about Miss Suzuki? Are you and her..."
"She is just a classmate." Heita Inuyama said: "Don't change the subject, why is she not here? Were you lying to me yesterday? ?”
"Don't worry." Matsui spread his hands and said, "She's here, but you won't see her until later." After a pause, Matsui continued: "Heita-kun, I know you are biased against our group, but Look at the people around you, do you really think we are an evil religious group? Don’t you feel that they are different from other people outside?”
Heita Inuyama looked around after hearing this? , he had a strange feeling since he just entered the venue, that is, the people here are unnaturally enthusiastic. Although they are dressed in ordinary clothes, they all have an air of confidence about them, which is something that ordinary people at the bottom of the crowd do not. Having the temperament.
"Did you discover it? This is the meaning of our Lucky Mutual Aid Association." Matsui opened his hands and said: "They are originally ordinary people who are ignored in life. They have no meaning of existence. They only exist in Here, they can feel their existence, and it is I who gave them salvation.”
