Chapter 349 Borrowing Money
Ding-ling-ling-ling——
The phone rang for who knows how many times, and Subaru got up from the ground in a very twisted way. However, he soon fell back on someone because his mind was spinning. It was probably only his right hand that remained sane. He struggled to hook his hand over the garbage bag and get his phone.
"Um...where am I?"
Ding-ling-ling-ling——
"Who's calling... Grandma."
Subaru saw that the caller ID was from the "old woman" who usually didn't care if she didn't answer the phone. His originally somewhat nervous heart suddenly relaxed and he lay down with peace of mind. His current brain capacity no longer allowed Subaru to perform any life activities that were more complex than the wriggling of a paramecium.
But it doesn't matter. I've already made an agreement with my grandma in advance to refuse any work on film sets, performances, or attending special training classes at school for the next two weeks. During these two weeks, I have complete daytime freedom...
No, I'm free during the day, but at night...
"It's all over! I didn't go home last night!"
Subaru was now completely awake. Even though his arm muscles were weak, he forced himself to stand up again, and crawled to the empty corridor to answer the phone... and hung up.
Of course, it wasn't Subaru who died because of impatience. It was old man An and Tendo who died on their own initiative, leaving behind only an oppressive LINE message.
[I am waiting for your explanation. When it becomes clear, I will receive living expenses.]
Subaru suddenly felt like crying. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to live an ECO life throughout December. He might even become poorer than Momoka. In the worst case, he might have to work as a beggar at a doctor's and sell his body and art to make a living.
It was all Rupa's fault for suddenly starting a fight and conspiring with Taoxiang to buy a whole case of beer. I was unlucky with the dice and Rupa accidentally found an excuse to force me to drink a whole dozen beers. I probably fainted halfway through the drink just like Ichijo.
"Taoxiang——"
Momoka, who was sleeping soundly in the arms of Nina who was also drunk with a lot of beer, was suddenly dragged out of the warm kotatsu by the angry Subaru. Momoka didn't drink much last night under Nina's supervision, but Momoka, who had been marinated in alcohol for many years, could fall asleep soundly as long as she could smell the smell of alcohol, and she couldn't wake up for a while.
"Nah... I'm not going to drink anymore... (*smacking lips meaninglessly*) I'm going to get scolded by Nina..."
"Heyuan Mu Momoka! You're going to be scolded by me soon ah ah ah ah——"
Just kidding, we have known each other for such a long time. Even if my living expenses are cut off because of Rupa and Taoxiang, the current and former alcoholics, I am not really angry with these two troublemakers. We share the good and the bad.
By the time everyone woke up from their hangover, it was already morning... to be exact, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning. Although it did not delay the doctor's work, it put Rupa, who was preparing breakfast, in a dilemma.
It’s a little late to have breakfast, and a little early to make lunch, but if I don’t eat, Xiao Rencai will complain of being hungry again, and there is no snack or fruit yogurt at home.
Just when I was having a headache, Miao Meng came to visit me, wearing a big black cotton-padded jacket, a beige scarf and high heels. I don’t know if this guy will catch a cold if he blows the cold wind with his bare legs. It’s better to say that he must have just passed by and was too cold to come here to use the heating, right?
"Excuse me... Ugh, was your house robbed?"
"Good morning, Miao Meng, our house wasn't robbed~"
"That's too..."
Xiao Rencai, who went to the bathroom with a red face to wash the mop and prepare to clean, could no longer hold back and wanted to bury her head in the quilt. If Taoxiang and Zhizhi were not both sleepily holding their toothbrushes and getting ready, Xiao Rencai would probably kick everyone in the butt and then hit her head against the door frame to death.
I was actually laughed at by a lazy guy like Miao Meng. How embarrassing...
"Ahem... Actually, I'm here to borrow money."
Now he understood. Put mopping the floor aside for now. The serious matter was to drive the plague god out of the house. Xiao Rencai picked up the wet mop and was about to beat Miao Mengqin, who was sitting peacefully next to the coffee table enjoying the heating and hot water, out. He made such a big fuss that he was stopped by Rupa.
"We five poor fellows don't have a cent!"
"Don't lie, little Rencai! We know the doctor just gave you a huge reward, a full 500,000!"
"That's our band's capital. If we give it to you, we won't have to start the band anymore!"
"We won't need all of it, we're just borrowing a few tens of thousands of yen, Momoka—"
Taoxiang, who was washing her face with soap and holding a toothbrush in her mouth and a headscarf wrapped around her head, poked her head out of the bathroom when her name was called. At the same time, Zhizhi, whose hair was disheveled but looked unexpectedly cute in its messy state, was also watching the show. The latter was lucky enough not to be forced to drink, so she seemed much more energetic than the others.
"What's wrong with Meow Mengqin? If you want to borrow money, please let us discuss it if it's over 10,000 yen."
"Why do you say that? We're all going to be driven to death by that money-obsessed bastard, the doctor..."
Miao Meng was just about to use the righteousness to condemn the indifference of the people in the Assassin Group when the sound of footsteps, not very loud but still clear, came from the entrance again.
Not long after, a clear little cucumber appeared in everyone's sight. Moreover, Xiao Mu's face was rosy and he looked energetic today. As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when good things happen to them. This made everyone (actually only Miao Mengqin) secretly guess whether the doctor gave Xiao Mu some pocket money.
"Hello everyone...I want to borrow money."
Well, another poor fellow has broken into the house—thinking this, Subaru and Rupa exchanged a glance, each resolute in their resolve to defend the sacred property, both thornless and thornless. Adhering to the spirit of the rule of law, they prepared to use the art of language to send the two poor fellows who had come to borrow money away…
But before Subaru could open his mouth, Xiao Mu found an empty space and sat down in a very familiar manner. He took off a pair of small-sized black snow boots and sat down cross-legged, looking like he would not give up until he got the money.
"Subaru, I want to borrow some money from you."
His living expenses have already flown away like butterflies... If saying this can make Xiao Mu go home, Subaru really wants to say so.
"I want to buy a gift for the doctor... The doctor works very hard, and I want to make him happy."
This is a legitimate reason. The doctor is a respected adult, and Xiaomu is an ordinary high school girl who has no income even though her family is rich. If she wants to buy a gift for the doctor, she really can't do it without borrowing money.
"We still have some time," Zhizhi thought. If it was a gift for a doctor, she wouldn't mind paying a little, as long as it impressed the doctor. So, blushing, she leaned in front of Xiaomu. "I...I'll go with you. You know doctors better, so you can guide me on what to buy."
"Okay, thank you Zhizhi."
The two short children, one blue and one silver, left hand in hand soon, leaving only Miao Mengqin, the so-called plague god, and a group of misers.
"Ahem... Actually, I also wanted to buy a gift for the doctor, so..."
"impossible."
