Toyokawa Shoko fell into deep thought.

Decided.

Let's choose Aoyama Nanami!

Chapter 248 A New Assistant, Aoyama Nanami

[Toyokawa Shoko has found you a new assistant, guess who it is?]

"I guess it's the great Hongxia's mom, because she has a great personality and can tolerate the sweet and gentle Xia Mumu!"

No, no.

Hongxia did not participate in this assistant interview.

"Could it be Su Shi? She has a great and beautiful face. Although she's a little cunning, I like her a lot too."

【Not really.】

"No, no, don't tell me it was my most respected Director Tadokoro Koji who descended from the sky. That would be quite a surprise."

No~No~No~

"Let me think about it again...it seems like there aren't any."

Xia Mu rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

For a moment, he himself couldn't guess who it was.

The answer has been revealed.

【Aoyama and the Seven Seas.】

"Hmm? What? Ah!"

Is the hero back in action?

"Xia Mu, Miss Qingshan will be coming to work tomorrow. When I'm not here, she's in charge of the detective agency and the novel assistant business."

If it weren't for her career commitments, she would have loved to stay by Xia Mu's side forever.

But that won't work.

But she knew that Xia Mu didn't want her to give up her dream either.

She understands.

So, this time, Toyokawa Shoko helped find an assistant.

Among the group of people, he seems to be the most reliable one.

She is also the least likely to fall in love with Xia Mu.

laugh--

As a player who started playing in Season 2 and suffered repeated defeats, with the number of losses second only to Nagasaki Sosei, Toyokawa Shoko has also made a lot of progress.

As for whether it would be like inviting trouble into the house, she had considered it.

"Impossible! Everything is under my control!"

The blue-haired girl with twin tails clenched her fist at the air, declaring her victory.

Is there any way to escape the darkness?

kill!

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Xiangzi."

Aoyama Nanami...

not bad.

Xia Mu felt like it had been a long time since she had any contact with the other person...

Since that encounter at Sakura-sou, every time we meet, we're just strangers.

If we never meet again, I hope you are well.

There's not much Xia Mu can do; he simply provides anonymous sponsorships on a regular monthly basis, and that's about it.

[The next day.]

The morning sunlight streamed through the glass windows of the Starry Sky Detective Agency, and the doorbell rang.

"Hello, I'm Nanami Aoyama. Is this the Starry Sky Detective Agency?"

A girl with a neat ponytail stood at the door, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness, and unconsciously adopted a Kansai accent.

"Yes, yes, welcome! May I ask if you only have black tea?"

"OK."

Aoyama Nanami walked into the office, his gaze sweeping over the detective's license hanging on the wall and the first three volumes of the mystery novel "The Great Detective Xia Mumu" on the bookshelf, finally landing on the laptop spread out on Xia Mumu's desk—the screen displaying unfinished chapters of the novel.

Before she arrived, Ms. Toyokawa Shoko had already written down the tasks her assistant needed to do and sent them to her.

I watched it all night.

Aoyama Nanami came to the conclusion that this is currently the best-paying part-time job out of all available!

All I need to do is help with some requests, occasionally prepare black tea and desserts for my boss, a novelist and detective named Xia Mu, cook a meal occasionally, and help with reviewing, polishing, and liaising with publishers.

It's not difficult and offers a lot of freedom.

More importantly, the salary is very high!

I am very grateful to Xia Mu and Toyokawa Shoko for giving her this opportunity.

Aoyama Nanami will definitely work hard.

She wanted to meet the angel investor's expectations; although she was working fewer jobs, it didn't mean she was doing nothing.

Just then, the Starry Sky Detective Agency near Sakura-sou was hiring an assistant, and Aoyama Nanami applied, thinking she'd give it a try.

I didn't expect it to actually pass.

Great!

Is today perhaps her lucky day?

anyway.

Is Xia Mu an easy person to get along with?

Aoyama Nanami took the teacup, his fingertips touching the warm cup, and his anxiety eased slightly.

"Just treat Starry Sky Detective Agency like your own home. My main job right now is writing books. Being a detective is just a side job, like helping find cats and dogs, and occasionally helping the police solve cases."

Xia Mu's voice was gentle and kind, without any airs of a boss, and he seemed to be a very easy-going person.

This is Aoyama Nanami's first impression.

"It's a pity Xiangzi isn't here, otherwise I was thinking of throwing a welcome party for his assistant."

Xia Mu's idea is good.

"No need, thank you for your kindness, I'm just here to work."

She quickly waved her hand, feeling a little embarrassed by the other person's enthusiasm.

……

The actual work was much easier than she had imagined.

Xia Mu handles commissions with almost divine assistance, often finishing them in half an hour. After returning, he immerses himself in writing, continuing his exploration of the keyboard, endlessly typing, and starting up!

Aoyama Nanami's main tasks are to help pour tea, organize documents, moisturize... occasionally remind Xia Mu to eat on time, or cook for him himself.

correct.

There are other things in the documents that Ms. Toyokawa Shoko sent her; you can take a look.

"Dessert Making for Beginners"

Kamen Rider Encyclopedia

The Handbook for Making Black Tea

"The Art of Dinner Cooking, the Art of Being Human"...

It's clear that Ms. Toyokawa Shoko cares a lot about Natsume.

"Xia Jun, what would you like to eat tonight?"

She decided to cook dinner for Xia Mu before leaving get off work.

"I want to eat conveyor belt sushi, come with me outside."

Xia Mu did not play by the rules.

"Consider this a welcome to my new assistant. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Let's go, consider it work."

"Okay, thank you, Xia Jun."

Total feeling.

Did she know Xia Mu a long time ago?

There was a strangely familiar feeling about the other person...

I hope it's not just my imagination.

Inside the conveyor belt sushi restaurant, under the warm yellow lights, Xia Mu thoughtfully selected her favorite sushi for Aoyama Nanami.

Looking at those familiar flavors, Aoyama Nanami felt a pang of doubt, but she didn't voice it—

Why does he know so much about my preferences?

"A master detective's intuition~"

Don't ask how I know.

Ask a detective's intuition; it never fails.

"Please continue to guide me in the future, Nanami."

"Yes! Please guide me, Xia-kun."

With a crisp clinking of glasses, Aoyama Nanami gave the boy a beautiful smile.

[Aoyama Nanami's affection for you +1]

Ok?

There's actually something like this?

[The affinity template had a bug a while ago, so it's not showing up... Smash!]

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it.”
