I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

Chapter 9, Section 271: Part-time Job and the Girl

The final punishment was a three-month unpaid suspension.

For Li Cheng, it was probably just something like, "Ah, another month of vacation." But for Rin, who was struggling to make a living on her own, it was like a bolt from the blue. However, Kiritsugu Emiya was very considerate of her and started contacting part-time jobs for her to try out the very next day.

With Tohsaka's powerful magical skills, finding a new job should be easy, right? After all, a magician of her level can already handle many complex tasks.

Wait a minute, it seems that all her magic tricks rely on gems. If it's a practical job, can her salary cover the gems she uses?

Because of her inherent strengths, Rin's options were largely cut off.

However, if she's not good at practical skills, theoretical work shouldn't be a problem, right? Besides, she has no problem with anything that just requires the flow and application of magic. After all, in terms of magical power alone, Rin is one of the top B-rank magicians.

"That's true, but she doesn't know how to use modern magic equipment at all, and magicians who use ancient rituals like her father are very rare these days, and there are no more job openings."

Inside the coffee shop, Kiritsugu Emiya ruthlessly rejected Li Cheng's idea.

"Oh, I almost forgot, that child is completely clueless about modern technology."

Li Cheng sighed, then took a sip of his slightly hot coffee, and then frowned.

Rin Tohsaka's father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, possessed a pride and reserve that Li Cheng couldn't understand, and had no interest in modern technology, insisting on teaching Rin using ancient methods passed down through generations. As a result, Rin, raised in this way, displayed a complete lack of understanding of technology.

She is completely incapable of using any modern machinery, not even magical machinery, and for some reason, she can destroy or even explode even the most excellent and durable machines. She even managed to blow up a portable communicator once. Because of her, the Sixth Group often has to use magical communication, which led to them being discovered by an A-rank magician during one operation.

Even after they were discovered, they still managed to take down the magician who was involved in trafficking human organs and selling new types of drugs.

"So, does that mean she's not good at much theoretical work or magic-related tasks? In that case, why not have her work part-time as a teacher at a magic academy? She should be able to teach basic magic to kids who are just starting out, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Cheng proposed another possibility.

"Absolutely not."

Emiya Kiritsugu's chilling words almost made Li Cheng imagine how suffocated Tohsaka must have felt when she confirmed all of this.

"Tohsaka's magic teaching is a family secret, completely different from the general magic teaching in the outside world. Tohsaka has no idea what ordinary magic teaching is all about."

Oh, is that so?

That was truly despair, the ultimate level of despair.

Despite being a powerful and beautiful B-class magician, this eye-catching young woman is surprisingly incompetent at everything.

However, even so...

Li Cheng glanced sideways at someone in the coffee shop.

"Emiya, even if Tohsaka is indeed not good at many things, it still feels a little strange to have her do this, doesn't it?"

Oh, really?

"I think there is a bit of that."

Li Cheng's gaze fell to one side of the cafe, where Rin Tohsaka, her face flushed, was dressed in a white maid outfit with black stockings extending from her short skirt and a hint of her rounded chest exposed.

At that moment, she was holding a menu in both hands and walked somewhat stiffly to a table of customers.

"Hello, master, what would you like to order?"

Her rosy, shy words, accompanied by a group of deep blue eyes that dared not look directly at her, made the guests at that table gasp softly.

This is just too weird!

"Hey, Emiya, even if she can't find a good job, you don't need to lure her into a maid café, do you? She's a great magician, you know."

Li Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his brow and whispered to Emiya Kiritsugu beside him.

"Well, actually I also think it's not a good idea, but there are other reasons that made me make up my mind."

Kiritsugu Emiya calmly took a sip of coffee, then picked up his phone and took a picture of Rin.

Li Cheng clearly saw that Kiritsugu Emiya sent that photo to an email address, and that email address looked like—it looked like Wuming's email address!

Less than two minutes later, a reply came through my email with just one word: NICE!

They even added two exclamation marks.

"So this was Wuming's idea?"

Li Cheng was speechless.

"There was no way around it. He asked me to say he wanted to see Tohsaka looking shy in a maid outfit, and he even recommended this shop. As a father, I can't not respond to my child's expectations."

Don't give back to such strange expectations!

Li Chengzheng wanted to say something to stop the other party from continuing, but Emiya Kiritsugu finished his coffee and waved to a maid who was passing by.

"Hello, Master, what would you like to order?"

This was a girl with long white hair and a slightly thin build. She had unusually bright, blood-red eyes, almost as deep as a vampire's, and her body was quite petite, making her look no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. Standing before the two of them in a black maid's dress, she was undeniably stunning.

But the reason that could have stunned Li Cheng couldn't be that.

There was no mistake; this feeling, this child, possessed a powerful strength that could threaten his life.

Why would a top-tier A-rank expert be in this small coffee shop? Could it be... could someone be plotting against him and Emiya? Could it be...?

Ring ring, creak—

The café door was pushed open, and the wind chimes above it began to ring.

A boy with spiky hair, carrying a thick book, walked into the café with a look of utter dehydration on his face.

Kamijou Touma?

Li Cheng immediately recognized the boy, who looked even more dejected than the last time they met. The heavy dark circles under his eyes made it seem as if he had been up for several nights in a row, and his steps were unsteady, as if he might fall at any moment.

If Li Cheng didn't know Touma Kamijou's character well, he might even have suspected that Touma was using drugs.

"Kamijo."

Kiritsugu Emiya, standing to the side, greeted Touma Kamijou with a calm expression.

"Hey, Emiya-senpai? Li-senpai? You guys are here too?"

Kamijou Touma looked at Li Cheng and Emiya Kiritsugu with some surprise, clearly not expecting this meeting. Soon, his gaze swept over the maid standing next to the two of them.

"Ah, there's also Lingke. So you're here today too."

Wait, is Kamijou talking to that top-tier A-rank powerhouse?

"Ah, it's Kamijou-kun. You're studying hard again today."

Meanwhile, the white-haired girl in the maid outfit was already smiling and talking to Touma Kamijou.

……

Five minutes later.

"So, Kamijou, you've been having trouble learning about supernatural abilities lately, and it was this Ms. Suzushina Yuriko who helped you, which is why you often come to her for help?"

Holding the empty glass that he had already finished drinking from, Li Cheng looked at Kamijou Touma with some curiosity and asked.

“Yeah,” Touma Kamijou said with a smile, scratching his head. “The stuff here is really hard to understand. Luckily, I met Rinko in the library who came to help me. Honestly, she really saved my life.”

"Why not contact the person who invited you? You mean, that girl named Misaka Mikoto? She'd definitely be more professional, wouldn't she?"

Li Cheng asked with some doubt, but unexpectedly, Kamijou Touma's expression immediately turned bitter.

"At first, I did try to contact her several times..."

In his narration, Touma Kamijou's trajectory over a period of time was gradually described.

Touma Kamijou had some knowledge of supernatural abilities when he was still in school, which is why he accepted Misaka Mikoto's suggestion. However, having some knowledge and being proficient are two completely different things. Naturally, Touma Kamijou encountered difficulties in his studies.

"Ha, you don't even know something like this? You're so stupid, hahaha."

"You can't even solve the formula here? Wow, you're really amazing."

"What an idiot! He's a complete idiot!"

Even if he's really stupid, it would still be very painful for him to say it directly like that!

Although Misaka would always explain all the difficulties to him very carefully, this kind of mockery, which had almost become a habit, was too painful for Touma Kamijou. So, after it happened many times, he began to try to do it on his own, which led to increasingly difficult learning experiences.

Just then, a white-haired girl happened to pass by him while he was struggling with a difficult problem. Seeing him scratching his head in frustration, she offered to help him out.

That was Touma Kamijou's savior, Yuriko Suzushina, who was wearing a black maid outfit and smiling as she worked in the shop.

Her other identity is that of the top student at the Tokyo Superpower Academy. Due to brain evolution during the activation of her superpowers, she possesses extraordinary computational abilities, achieving A-rank superpower strength at the young age of sixteen. Her job at the maid café is a part-time job during her holidays, which can be considered a hobby. After learning about her job there, Touma Kamijou frequently visits for coffee (provided his wallet doesn't get stolen).

Do you really have such a strange interest?

In Li Cheng's relatively conservative view, the skirt was so short that it seemed one could see underwear with a slight tilt of the head, and the top of the shirt could be seen with a gentle pull; it was still a bit too revealing.

"If you really want to see it, it's not like we can't let you wear it~"

Hey, hey, don't come out and cause trouble at a time like this!

Li Cheng shook his head, trying to ignore the suggestive words that Zi had clearly filled his mind. At that moment, Kamijou Touma suddenly noticed Rin, dressed in a maid outfit and looking uncomfortable, sitting at a table not far away.

"Huh? That's... isn't that Tohsaka-senpai? How come she's..."

"Kamijou, if you don't want to die, don't let her find you right now, or you might be silenced."

Li Cheng patted Touma Kamijou on the shoulder and spoke to him with a serious expression.

"Ah! I understand!"

Touma Kamijou, who clearly understood what was going on, nodded quickly, but before he could finish speaking, Rin, dressed in a maid outfit, had already walked over.

"Ah, Li-senpai and Emiya-senpai, you're still here. Oh, and... and Kamijou-kun is here too. Hehehe, a junior I know has found out I'm working in a maid outfit..."

"Whoa, Tohsaka-senpai's smile is terrifying!"

……

Outside the café, a girl with short brown hair was walking down the street, looking rather unhappy.

Lately, that idiot hasn't contacted me at all.

Was it because my attitude was a bit harsh? I've been helping him with his questions and studies all along, so wasn't I being a bit too petty?

Ugh--

She sighed, her mood sinking further. Just then, she looked up and saw a coffee shop open for business on the street ahead.
