"Thread? For sewing clothes?"

Artoria frowned and checked Ye Ziye's school uniform, but found no damage.

"It's not sewing clothes, it's making things."

During their conversation, Ye Ziye finally found what she needed: thick thread. This kind of thread has very little practical use in daily life and is mainly used for handicrafts.

Ye Ziye's purpose was also to make handicrafts; he wanted to use these threads to make little figures.

Not the kind of scarecrow that can curse others, but rather the kind of pretty little figure that can be used for decoration.

In my past life, there was a strange custom in the orphanage (bceb): every Children's Day, the director would give each child a handmade figurine that looked very much like each child.

Because Ye Ziye was very skillful and could do everything beautifully, he always helped her, and he enjoyed doing so.

Over time, this became his job, and he would make this kind of thing every Children's Day.

Now that he's in this world, it's Children's Day again, and he doesn't want to lose this tradition. Although he's used to the present, he doesn't want to forget the past.

There is no Children's Day in the island nation, but this can be seen as Ye Ziye's longing for his past life; he doesn't want to completely abandon what he once knew.

However, he is not currently at the orphanage, nor does he have any children around him, so he plans to use the girls around him as models to make miniature figures in their likeness and give them to them.

Although it might seem like he was trying to curry favor, Ye Ziye didn't have any ulterior motives whatsoever. However, if possible...

He hoped that after giving these gifts, these girls would allow him to have a peaceful and uneventful high school life; that was his wish.

What can these wires be used for?

"To make a figurine, you just take a model of a character and sew various colors onto it. It's quite simple, but it takes a lot of effort."

Ye Ziye selected several colors of thread and put them into the cart. As for the cart's laborer, it was naturally Artoria.

Anyway, this girl had plenty of energy and wasn't afraid of getting tired. After hearing Ye Ziye's words, she became very curious.

"Can it really be made?"

Artoria's eyes sparkled, her curiosity almost written all over her face.

Although she was dedicated to training and swordsmanship, she was ultimately a girl and had no resistance to delicate little things, and handicrafts were often equated with exquisiteness.

"If it can be made, I'll give you one later."

Ye Ziye's drawing skills are excellent. After all, he is illustrating characters for his own novel, so drawing a few character models is a piece of cake for him. He is confident that he can create his masterpiece.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Seeing Artoria's happy expression, Ye Ziye smiled and shook his head. After all, she's a girl; a gift is all she needs to be satisfied with.

However, a rude thought immediately popped into his head: what if these girls developed feelings for him after he gave them the gifts? That would be troublesome...

But he quickly banished that narcissistic and rude thought from his mind. In any case, his motives were very simple, yes, incredibly simple!

Chapter 141

After paying the bill, Ye Ziye and Artoria went home together. He had to go to work at the pet cafe later, but he needed to change his clothes first.

This time, the figurines he made naturally included Nakamura Nanami and Kudo Nami. If there were any left over, he could also make a figurine of Akiyama Hitomi.

"Saber, I'm going to work now. Wait for me at home, I'll be back soon."

After giving her instructions, Ye Ziye glanced at Garfield, who was still silently eating, and thought of her dream from last night. She shook her head, banishing the bad thoughts from her mind.

"Ok!"

Artoria responded sweetly, dispelling Ye Ziye's doubts.

He decided to stop overthinking. Having nightmares was really unpleasant, especially when he occasionally thought about them.

When we arrived at the pet cafe, it wasn't open yet, but Nakamura Nanami and Kudo Nami were already inside.

Now, without Ye Ziye's reminders, Nakamura Nanami practices on her own. As for the failed works, they are all naturally left to Kudo Nami to handle.

This woman is indeed generous, but she's quite stingy in this regard. However, Ye Ziye admires this stinginess, as wasting food is unacceptable.

"Master, you've arrived!"

Seeing that Ye Ziye arrived so early today, Nakamura Nanami was clearly a little surprised, but she quickly recovered and went to the staff break room, where she came out with an apron in her hand.

Nami Kudo was also somewhat surprised. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and her surprise deepened.

"Why are you here so early today? That's unusual!"

The woman lived up to her surname, immediately adopting the expression of a detective and starting to brainstorm.

Ye Ziye was somewhat helpless. He didn't know when it had started, but coming to work early had become a surprising thing. He thought he had maintained a good image as a model employee.

"Don't overthink it. I had exams at school today, so I didn't participate in any club activities and that's why I arrived early."

Kudo Nami exclaimed "Oh!" as if suddenly realizing something; she had almost forgotten that Ye Ziye was still a high school student.

In her mind, a pure and innocent high school student wouldn't use his looks to seduce cute girls, and Ye Ziye was clearly not one of those people.

"You must have done terribly on the test!"

"Why do you think this is so novelistic?" Yao Jiu

Faced with Kudo Nami's rude remarks, Ye Ziye expressed his incomprehension, feeling that he should not give the impression of being a poor student.

“You come here every day for a part-time job, and you also have to write novels, so you definitely don’t have time to study.”

Hearing this matter-of-fact statement, Ye Ziye sighed helplessly. He was too lazy to explain anything to Kudo Nami, a woman who had been out of school for several years, because it would be useless to explain.

Kudo Nami completely failed to grasp Ye Ziye's meaning, believing she was right, and wore a smug expression.

At this moment, Nakamura Nanning, the kindest person in the world, chimed in from the side.

"I believe in my mentor, I'm sure I'll get good results!"

Nakamura Nanami's unconditional trust made Kudo Nami very jealous. She scoffed at Ye Ziye in a very unladylike manner, then went to a corner to tidy up the flowers and plants, looking very aggrieved.

Ye Ziye showed no reaction to the dramatic woman's performance. He walked behind the bar and said to Nakamura Nanami...

"Nakamura, make me a cup of black coffee. I want to see how your skills have improved."

"Yes, Master!"

After giving a spirited reply, Nakamura Nanami began her weekly coffee test, and this time, she was very confident.

Time passed second by second, and a steaming cup of black coffee was placed in front of Ye Ziye.

Looking at Nakamura Nanning's expectant face, Ye Ziye picked up the bowl and took a small bite. It was not bad; it had reached the top level of lv2.

When it comes to black coffee, Nakamura Nannei is already a master.

"good."

"Thank you, Master!"

Nakamura Nanami smiled broadly, feeling motivated to work harder again! This was the second consecutive week she had been praised, and she felt she could celebrate properly.

Time passed by, and before they knew it, it was time to leave work. Ye Ziye, who was a privileged person, left early as usual.

He needs to go home to see Garfield and also do some handicrafts, which is no easy task and requires time and energy, especially since Children's Day is only two days away.

So he took leave and won't be coming to the pet cafe tomorrow. As for the barista position, he naturally entrusted it entirely to his adorable apprentice, Nakamura Nannei.

"That damned Ye Ziye, he actually asked for leave without even writing a leave slip!"

Kudo Nami, the store manager, remained indignant. Her status had been declining, but considering that this was Ye Ziye's first time taking leave, she decided to forgive him for the time being.

As for Nakamura Nanami, she had a different feeling. Tomorrow she would be working as a barista for the entire day, which was a first for her. She felt that this was a test that Ye Ziye had left for her!

"Master, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down!"

After imagining Ye Ziye's good intentions, Nakamura Nanning silently cheered himself up.

As for Kudo Nami, she sighed helplessly. According to her observation, Nakamura Nanami was beyond saving and had completely fallen into a trap.

She decided that she needed to recruit a new employee as soon as possible, otherwise there would be no one in the store to maintain her authority as the store manager, which would be very embarrassing.

She had already set the recruitment criteria: the candidate must be a girl, cuteness was a must, and most importantly, she had the same reserve as her and could not be tempted by Ye Ziye's good looks.

Although the last condition is difficult to meet, Kudo Nami believes that there must be such a person!

Unlike the two girls in the shop who were having different interpretations, Ye Ziye quickly returned home, where he was greeted by Garfield, who was unharmed and had not been eaten.

Ye Ziye breathed a sigh of relief, deciding that he could no longer believe in dreams; he still needed to give more trust to the girl he was living with!

Chapter 142

Monday, June 1st.

Today is International Children's Day, but in this island nation, there is no such holiday; people here only celebrate their local Children's Day.

March 3rd is Girls' Day; May 5th is Boys' Day. November 15th is also Children's Day.

In other words, Children's Day is celebrated three times a year here, which is quite humane. However, Ye Ziye was unaware of these intricacies because he had never bothered to find out.

He got up very early today because he went to bed very early yesterday. There's a reason why the old folks say that going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health.

During the two-day holiday, he had been making handmade figurines. He thought he would finish them late last night, but he finished them all around 8 o'clock yesterday.

The reason is that with the help of the system, he now has an additional skill called "handcrafting", and his proficiency has reached level 2.

Although it's unclear what use this skill will be in the future, it certainly helped Ye Ziye a lot in the past two days.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, Ye Ziye was stunned for two seconds before getting up and getting dressed.

On his bedside table, there were not only Sizi dolls, but also hand-woven little figures surrounding Sizi.

As the saying goes, you don't know until you do it, and you'll be surprised when you do it. Ye Ziye hadn't expected to do so much, but when he started, he found that there were quite a few girls around him.

After counting the number, Ye Ziye put all the little figures into his schoolbag. Now he just had to wait to deliver them to the school and the coffee shop.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Ziye took a little figure out of her bag. This was a miniature of Artoria, so there was no need to send it to the school; the process could be completed at home.

As a result of his efforts, the miniature version of Artoria was incredibly lifelike, with an adorable face that was nine-tenths similar to a real person, along with a serious expression that felt completely natural.

Actually, the little figures of Artoria are the most difficult to make, because it takes some basic skills to make the ahoge (cowlick) on her head. Even Ye Ziye failed several times.

He had originally considered giving up on making the ahoge (cowlick), but when he thought about the special significance the ahoge held for Artoria, he forced himself to make it.

If he hadn't made this ahoge (cowlick), he felt something was missing; if he had to put it into words, it would be that it lacked a soul.

Ye Ziye gently stroked the little figure's tuft of hair and nodded in satisfaction. Real people shouldn't be touched, but touching the fake one a couple of times shouldn't be a problem.
