Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

Chapter 324 Drunken Butterfly

Ticking the fresh and hot 4,000 yen earned from her hard-earned part-time job in her hand, Miao Meng grinned happily and jumped around the sour-faced Zhizhi, humming a meaningless and chaotic tune.

"Two hours is 4,000 yen~"

"Working a day earns 16,000~"

"Xiao Rencai, you're short~"

"The hourly wage is less than half of mine~"

There was a reason why Miao Mengqin was so happy. Although it was only 4,000 yen, which couldn't even buy a fraction of the jewelry in her pocket, it meant that she would definitely have food for the next two days, and maybe she could even have some money left over to buy a latte.

The main reason was that, although the money wasn't much, when I thought about how Hitomi was being treated like a high school student working part-time because of her short stature, not to mention that her hourly wage was only about half of my own, and she was only allowed to work two hours...

So Miao Meng smiled.

"Shut up! What are you so proud of with such a small amount of money!" Although it was seven o'clock in the evening, the sun had already set completely at this time of October, and the street lights on the side of the street were lighting up white lights, but it was dinner time anyway. Xiao Rencai was already a little sleepy at this time. As the saying goes, work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

But thanks to the mean Miao Mengqin, Xiao Rencai was a little popular at this time. With Rupa, who was carrying cans of beer and expiring bento, as the axis, he started to do stellar movements in a regular manner... that is, King Qin chased and beat him around the pillar.

"Everyone, please get along well and don't fight~"

"Rupa, what you said is of no use at all, you two idiots."

"Don't worry about whether it's useful or not, just say it first~"

After a while, the two idiots got tired of chasing. After all, Miao Mengqin and Xiao Rencai hadn't eaten dinner yet. Miao Mengqin lived a little far away, so if they had dinner at Xiao Rencai's house, they would have to catch the tram. After everyone had dinner together, they would have to go back to their homes... Why did it smell like alcohol?

Standing at the door of her house, Rencai smelled a familiar scent coming from the entrance, and heard faint crying and mumbling sounds coming from the living room. She began to feel uncontrollable tingling all over her body.

"This Taoxiang girl...we must give her a good beating!"

"Don't be so anxious, little Nina," Rupa said. She was reasonably clear-headed and big enough to handle the situation. With a single, gentle hand, she restrained Nina, who was about to rush in and give Momoka a beating. Her reddish-brown braid tickled her nose. "I remember Momoka wasn't in the habit of crying after drinking."

"Huh? When did Ruppa not get drunk with Momoka? You'd be surprised if you remembered Momoka's drinking habits!"

"Question! What happens after Momoka drinks?"

Looking at Rupa's bright but calm eyes, Renai suddenly calmed down and fell into deep self-doubt.

"Tao Xiang...she sleeps well, her body limp on the floor. We have to drag her to bed together. The quilt is full of the unpleasant smell of alcohol, and we have to air the quilt the next day...she doesn't seem to be able to act crazy when drunk, eh?"

Then I sleep in the same bed with Taoxiang every day, and I have to wait for that idiot to settle down before I can fall asleep. What am I doing suffering like this?

Is my brain rusty? I can't even remember such a small thing?

"Ask again—"

Since little Renai had already reacted, Rupa threw Renai, who was hanging on her arm and waving her little feet like a cat, into Meowmeng's arms, then quietly put her ear close to the partition door between the entrance and the living room, stretched out a finger and put it on her warm lips, signaling everyone to keep down the noise.

"In our family, Taoxiang and I are the only ones who might drink. I'm here, so Taoxiang won't get drunk and act crazy. So who is that person inside?"

Renai and Zhizhi looked at each other, and after a while they couldn't help laughing.

It can't be Subaru, right?

It's better to say that anyone is possible but Subaru. If Subaru's grandmother knew that her granddaughter was drinking, the living expenses would be stopped and Subaru's drum set would be kicked away by the old lady. Whether there is any thorn or not, the couple is doomed to break up.

At least I haven't received any notification yet.

"It's Mana, Mana!"

Rupa's eavesdropping plan failed because Taoxiang, with a haggard face and somewhat dull silver hair draped over her shoulders, suddenly opened the door. Rupa lost her balance and fell heavily on her pretty face. Fortunately, she had a good body and was able to cushion the impact so she was not injured.

"Wow...Momoka is so mean!"

"Who told you to eavesdrop? Wouldn't it be easier if you just opened the door and came in?"

Helping the pitiful-looking Rupa to get up, Taoxiang picked up the garbage bag at her feet and threw it into the entrance, then waved to Rencai who was still lying on Miaomeng's forearm.

The latter jumped down honestly and walked to Taoxiang with small steps. Perhaps because he felt guilty for doubting Taoxiang's determination to stop drinking, he looked like he was waiting for punishment when facing Taoxiang.

"Mana might have to rest at our house tonight. Nina, go clean up the storage room. I'll sleep in the storage room tonight."

"How about I go..." After hesitating for a moment, Rencai suggested it. After all, the storage room was small and she was short too.

"Do you think you're going to be idle? Go take care of Mana... Oh, it's such a troublesome thing."

Shaking her head, Momoka turned around and waved to Subaru, who was comforting the drunk Mana on his knees.

"I'll go get some ice packs. You guys stay home and don't call Chuhua!"

Before leaving, Taoxiang explained a lot of things. The first few words were spoken in a gentle tone, but the last sentence was particularly strong in tone, as if she would explode with everyone in the room if she couldn't do it.

"..."

"..."

Everyone was silent, not because of unfamiliarity or the Icelandic past, but simply...

Subaru was too exhausted to talk from taking care of the drunkard who was more troublesome and drank more than Momoka, while Nina and Chichi had no idea what to say. Rupa read the air and thought it would be better to remain silent, while Meowmu simply couldn't accept that the keyboardist of her own band looked so decadent.

All in all, silence is Cambridge tonight.

However, no matter how silent one is, it will tend to collapse as the distance between people shortens... In other words, everyone finally couldn't hold back their staring at each other, and Subaru took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Meow Meng, can you please take your keyboard player back home? It doesn't matter where you put him. It's totally unsuitable for him to rest in our house."

"There are a lot of rooms in Subaru's big villa, right? Mine is completely private. I can't possibly squeeze into the same bed with Mana, right?"

"I didn't tell you about the villa, did I? Besides, I'm going to live with my grandma. What would she think of me if I brought a drunk woman home?"

"Playing in a band is all about smoking, drinking, and women. You only have the last one, which is already quite commendable."

"No! No! This matter is absolutely out of the question!"

"Then let's put Mana here. I'll try to contact Chuhua tomorrow..."

"Chuhua... Where is Chuhua? Stupid Chuhua... Huh, huh..."

The casual conversation stopped temporarily. It seemed that everyone had discovered some important keywords in Mana's drunken talk, and in order to avoid more keywords being unearthed by some inadvertent words, they dared not speak at all.

"...Well, first of all..." Subaru carefully took out his cell phone and spoke very slowly. Everyone just listened seriously.

"Call the doctor first...right?"
