After all, there's nothing on the island except plenty of time.
At the dining table, apart from the sounds of eating noodles, neither of them spoke.
Lu Ye was pondering something.
While at the castle tower, he promised Violet he would take her to the beach.
Moreover, summer vacation was coming to an end, and Lu Ye wanted to seize the last days of summer vacation to go out and have some fun.
I checked the balance on my phone.
We have over two thousand yuan left, which is definitely enough for the two of us to go to the beach, but—what about our swimsuits?
It wasn't because he was embarrassed to take Violet to the clothing store; Lu Ye had gotten used to this kind of thing back in Leiden.
He did the math.
After deducting travel expenses, food costs, and accommodation fees, there wasn't much money left, and I didn't have enough to buy a swimsuit.
Looking at the empty mansion, Lu Ye naturally considered renting a room.
But if his aunt comes, it will be difficult to explain if his identity as the landlord is exposed.
After all, those two unreliable parents couldn't afford such a luxury house.
So, I guess I still have to go make money?
With half of summer vacation still left, finding some day jobs shouldn't be a problem.
Just then, the cell phone rang.
When Lu Ye looked at the caller ID, he was surprised to see that it was Lu Xiaodeng calling.
The call was connected.
"Hey bro~"
"Stop!" Lu Ye said. "What do you want to do?"
He knows his younger sister very well.
Lu Xiaodeng only calls him "brother" when something happens or when he needs something from him; normally he calls him "Little Yezi."
"Hey, can you do me a favor? I recently found a job."
"Oh my god, you actually went to work a summer job."
Lu Ye was shocked to hear this news.
Auntie has never been stingy with Lu Xiaodeng.
Although they were just an ordinary family with an income slightly below the city average, they would give Lu Xiaodeng 500 yuan a week for pocket money, while Lu Ye only received 250 yuan.
It wasn't that the aunt was biased; it was just that the child support money Lu Ye's parents gave his aunt was only enough for her to give him this much, and the aunt even had to pay fifty yuan out of her own pocket to give to Lu Ye.
During that time, Lu Ye, who was in the third year of junior high school, called his parents many times, asking for an extra fifty yuan of pocket money so that he could scrape together the money to buy a genuine Bandai Gundam set.
But Dad's answer was resolute: "Your parents are currently in Japan working to lift the world out of poverty!"
Lu Ye was filled with respect and asked if the donation had been given to those poor countries.
Dad said no, your mom and I have been spending a lot of money on pachinko lately... so we'll have to wait a bit longer about pocket money.
Lu Ye was dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "So you really are dedicated to global poverty alleviation, making the balls in the pachinko machine escape poverty, right?"
Unreliable parents are ultimately unreliable.
Although Lu Xiaodeng had a lot of pocket money, she didn't squander it or buy cosmetics. Instead, she saved it up like a hamster and would occasionally help Lu Ye out.
But now, Lu Xiaodeng, who is so lazy that she would bribe Lu Ye to wash the dishes and mop the floor for her when it's her turn to do so, is actually doing a summer job.
Over the years, this girl must have accumulated her own little savings.
But the fact that she's doing summer jobs suggests she might be broke.
Lu Ye's head exploded.
—Has she contracted something terrible?!
“Xiao Deng,” Lu Ye said earnestly, “I’ll go with you to the police station to turn yourself in.”
"What are you thinking about!" Lu Xiaodeng said irritably. "It's a comic convention!"
"Huh? You found a job as a security guard at comic conventions?"
"No, it was an event in the city center yesterday, and I went there. I met a very elegant photographer there, and we chatted for a while and got along quite well, so I showed her some photos on my phone..."
"photo?"
"Is this my petite and adorable sister-in-law?" Lu Xiaodeng said. "She's so beautiful, so I secretly took a picture of her beforehand. When the photographer saw it, she got very excited and said she was a character from an anime, so she asked me if I could arrange to meet her."
"Oh, but what does this have to do with work?"
"She said she could give me two thousand yuan after we met up..."
Lu Yeren was numb.
"Good heavens, I didn't know you were a pimp!"
"Don't be angry, bro. That photographer was dressed in designer brands and looked really rich. Besides, she just wanted your wife to wear a cosplay outfit so she could take some photos of her. You can also take this opportunity to take your wife out for fun..."
Lu Xiaodeng paused for a moment, then said, "How about we split it 40/60?"
"How come I only achieved 60%?" Lu Ye said.
Lu Xiaodeng was taken aback, thinking to herself, "I was supposed to get 60%..."
However, she quickly understood what Lu Ye meant.
"Let's split it 50/50."
"make a deal!"
The money for the swimsuit is solved.
Lu Ye also agreed with Lu Xiaodeng.
Before going to the beach, you can take Violet to other places to play.
Chapter 156 I'm not a lolicon, I just like lolis!
So that afternoon, Lu Ye took Violet to the comic convention venue in the city center.
The venue is located near Hall 1 of the sports center.
In such hot weather, with people coming and going all around, the roadside is unbearably hot.
He suddenly realized that Ashina Castle was indeed a perfect summer retreat.
Snuggled up in the warm tatami room, munching on candies from the Senpou Temple candy factory, I'm enjoying the tender care of Ms. Emma. If I had a Switch nearby, that would be the perfect ending, but alas, I don't.
Left with no other choice, Lu Ye ran to an ice cream truck on the street and bought two ice cream cones.
Violet ate very attentively, licking her ice cream with her pink little tongue as she walked.
Today she wore a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, and denim shorts, the curves of her fair legs were breathtaking. To shield herself from the sun, she also wore a straw hat she bought from a street vendor, with a small blue flower on it.
After finishing her ice cream, Lu Ye used a tissue to wipe away the thick white liquid from the corner of Violet's mouth.
While enjoying Lu Ye's attentive service, she curiously looked around.
Although it wasn't her first time in a modern city, she still found everything around her fascinating.
After all, the last time she came out was to move, and the day after moving, she was transported to the Sekiro world. Lu Ye hadn't had a chance to properly show her around the world he lived in, so this was a good opportunity.
The two walked one after the other.
Lu Ye observed the girl's eyes and, if he found out what she was interested in, he would explain it to her.
For example, what does a place like "Heaven on Earth" do?
For example, what are love hotels used for?
For example, what is an automated adult product store...?
There's nothing we can do about it!
Lu Ye didn't want to bring up these things.
The main reason was that Violet really liked those colorful and flamboyant things, and facing her eyes full of curiosity and exploration, Lu Ye simply told her.
What's the point of saying it?
Since she's my wife anyway, I might as well treat it as a rehearsal beforehand.
“Is that the stadium?” Violet asked, pointing to the round building in front of her.
"Yes, the venue is in Hall 1. Xiaodeng should be waiting for us there," Lu Ye said.
The stadium is just ahead, and Lu Xiaodeng, dressed in cosplay, is standing at the entrance.
Upon seeing Lu Ye and Violet, her eyes lit up, and she waved her arms from a great distance.
"Over here, over here!"
"What are you wearing?" Lu Ye asked.
"Cardcaptor Sakura, haven't you seen it?" Lu Xiaodeng said. "My childhood goddess, doesn't she look just like me?"
She glanced at her outfit.
She wore a pink and white Lolita-style dress, white knee-high socks, and held a high-quality replica magic wand.
After Lu Xiaodeng mentioned it, Lu Ye remembered.
Many girls watched Cardcaptor Sakura when they were young. The plot is roughly about Sakura becoming a "Cardcaptor" to retrieve the Clow Cards scattered around the world, which are believed to bring disaster to the world, and constantly striving to do so...
Thinking about it this way, Lu Ye felt like he was a gender-swapped version of Cardcaptor Sakura.
She collects the Clow Cards, while she is responsible for collecting Celestial Shards, both of which have adverse effects on the world.
"Alright, alright, it's so hot outside, come inside and enjoy the air conditioning!"
Lu Xiaodeng excitedly took Violet's arm and led her into the venue.
"Phew..." Lu Ye let out a long sigh of relief.
