IW: Chapter: 286 - Does your family come from the Hollow?
"You?"
You're a ghost, do you still need to go to school?
Bai Ye was a bit stunned after Sadako suggested it.
If Sadako hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about her.
"You stay here and hold down the fort."
Although Bai Ye wanted to send Ai Haibara to school.
He said it was too much trouble.
But Bai Ye actually knew very well that the main reason for sending Ai Haibara to school was to give her something to do.
Otherwise, if she stayed in the Office every day, what would be the point of him getting her an identity?
As for Sadako.
She didn't need it.
Besides, this Office still needed someone to handle things.
Of course, a ghost could do it too.
"I want to go to school too! I can talk too!"
"What are you talking about? What's her identity, and what's yours?"
What the hell!
Sadako seemed to have her mind elsewhere lately.
It seemed like Sadako had been thinking about leaving work early recently.
This fellow hadn't even become an old hand yet!
And she was already developing the bad habits of one?
Thinking of this, a hint of danger entered Bai Ye's eyes as he looked at Sadako.
It seemed he had to do something!
Otherwise, Sadako would just be thinking about getting off work all day.
She had absolutely no passion for working.
Didn't she used to compete with Miko for Employee of the Month?
Was that no longer useful now?
Bai Ye suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the time when Sadako and Miko competed for Employee of the Month.
Back then, Tenten really wished she could spend every day in the Office.
Why was it different now?
Facing Bai Ye's gaze.
Sadako also felt a bit guilty.
"He shouldn't have seen through my thoughts, right?"
Sadako felt she couldn't be exposed.
"Sadako, do you still want to compete with Miko for Employee of the Month? Look, Miko comes here right after work these days!"
Although Miko came here for a small personal reason.
Because she could see ghosts.
But since she couldn't solve the problem herself.
So, Miko spent all her time at the Office, except for going home to rest and attending school.
She even occasionally stayed at the Office.
Because Bai Ye had set up a barrier here.
She had been given permission by Bai Ye.
As long as a malevolent ghost came here, she could use the barrier to deal with it at any time.
So, looking at it this way.
It seemed that the Employee of the Month award would indeed fall to Miko in the end.
Hearing Bai Ye say this.
Sadako was also very conflicted.
She had indeed wanted to strive for it before.
But later, the allure of mahjong was simply too great.
This was still Bai Ye's fault.
Bai Ye had told her to connect with the ghost sisters earlier.
And then she could bring them all over to work.
But she felt that simply asking them might not get them to agree.
So, she presented her idea to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye finally gave her a good option.
That was to play mahjong.
This way, they could connect.
And he also said he would teach her quick-master gambling techniques.
Then she would crush her group of ghost sisters in mahjong.
At the same time, she would also be able to use this to trick them into coming over.
So, this was Bai Ye's idea.
"But I'm doing this for the Office now too!"
Sadako felt it was necessary to make Bai Ye understand this point.
She herself had always been working for the Office.
"Didn't you, Lord Bai Ye, tell me to go and connect?"
Sadako thought it might be better to help Bai Ye recall this matter.
Otherwise, this black pot would be placed on her by Bai Ye.
If it really was placed on her by Bai Ye like that.
Then she felt that her Employee of the Month award would truly be gone.
She had worked so hard for so long.
She couldn't let Miko take it away.
She knew it from the beginning!
Miko must have just said she wouldn't compete for Employee of the Month.
But secretly.
Miko had also been working hard.
Damn it.
She herself was also working very hard!
"But you don't need to go during the day, do you? After all, don't you all sleep during the day?"
Don't ghosts usually move at night and sleep during the day?
Although Bai Ye didn't understand fully.
But generally, based on Bai Ye's observations, Sadako didn't seem to have anything to do during the day.
However, he seemed to have just overlooked that Sadako did have such a task on her.
"So I'm still Employee of the Month!"
Sadako said proudly.
Her main goal was to instill this idea in Bai Ye.
"Alright, you're still Employee of the Month, but you stay here during the day, and then go at night."
Bai Ye felt that it was indeed quite difficult to trick Sadako on this matter.
Besides, he had said this himself.
Sadako also seemed to be doing things according to his will.
Bai Ye also felt a bit fortunate.
It was a good thing he hadn't complained too much before.
"Ah?! Not during the day?"
Sadako opened her mouth wide, feeling a bit upset.
Her expectation was that Bai Ye would agree to let her go during the day after hearing about it.
But she didn't expect Bai Ye to still refuse.
This directly deflated Sadako.
"You stay here during the day. Later, I'll just have Miko live here, and then you two can switch shifts."
Bai Ye thought for a moment.
Since Miko felt safe living here.
Then why not let Miko live here at night?
Then Miko could also switch shifts with Sadako.
Although there usually wouldn't be clients at night, online consultations were at their peak at night.
Miko should be able to handle it, right?
He wouldn't make her handle everything all the time.
She could rest if she got tired.
He really was a good boss!
"Switch shifts?!"
Bai Ye had even come up with this.
This guy was really a scrooge.
He should be hanged from a lamppost.
Ai Haibara couldn't help but inwardly complain.
Although there wasn't much work in this Office every day, Bai Ye's operations...
Forget it.
She was, after all, living under someone else's roof, what could she say?
Ai Haibara also understood that her situation wasn't much better.
Besides, Bai Ye had given her a place to stay.
And he could help her find her sister's soul later.
Thinking this, she suddenly felt that Bai Ye seemed quite cute in her eyes.
"Alright, then night it is."
Although Sadako wanted to argue.
A ghost's life is also a life!
Ghost lives are precious!
Ghosts also have ghost rights!
But this was just Sadako's own fantasy.
Bai Ye really would hit her.
As long as he didn't stop her from resting, it was fine.
Sadako used to be able to go sleepless for Employee of the Month.
But now Sadako also had other recreational activities.
It's just a pity that in the future, when those ghost sisters ask her to play games all night, she'll most likely not be able to!
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Miko later."
He said discuss.
But Miko probably didn't have any other choice, did she?
For Miko, she actually didn't care.
After all, where didn't she live?
The room next door also had a small room for her to stay in.
Miko had been staying in that room before.
"Alright, the Office matters are settled. Next is you, let's go out."
Bai Ye turned his head to look at Ai Haibara.
"Okay."
Although she was a bit reluctant to go to school.
But if it's school, then it's school.
It's better than anything else.
Ai Haibara wasn't really afraid of being exposed now.
After all, there were ghosts here, and people with special abilities.
Even if the Black Organization came, they should be able to handle it, right?
So her current mindset was definitely different from in the anime.
Plus, Bai Ye could also help her find her sister's soul.
This made her feel even more that she didn't need to take risks.
In fact, wasn't this situation quite good now?
She had shrunk, and the Black Organization might not be able to find her.
At the same time, although her sister was only a soul, she still existed in this world, just like Sadako, which was also fine.
Because she had seen Sadako, she felt that being a soul was also good.
At least Sadako could be touched.
She originally thought that souls were illusory.
She didn't expect this world to be completely different from what she thought.
So studying was indeed as Bai Ye said.
She was just going there to relax.
She really wanted to relax too.
She had been studying constantly since childhood.
She had never really enjoyed her childhood.
If everything Bai Ye said was true.
She would be very grateful to Bai Ye.
Thinking this, Ai Haibara was no longer so resistant.
"Then Sadako, I'll leave things here to you!"
"Okay!"
Sadako replied.
Then, after seeing Bai Ye leave with Ai Haibara.
Sadako was in the midst of an intense internal struggle.
If she went out at this moment.
She felt she probably wouldn't be discovered, right?
Just this once...
After this one time, she would definitely not skip work again!
Sadako also silently comforted herself.
As long as she watched the time and returned here before Bai Ye came back, then there would be no problem.
Thinking this, Sadako decided to skip work.
And then just make sure Bai Ye didn't find out later.
"Mm-hmm, mahjong, mahjong!"
Sadako finally looked out the window at Bai Ye and the others from afar.
After confirming that Bai Ye and the others had gone far enough.
She locked the door and ran through the TV.
On the street.
"Can I buy a handbag?"
Ai Haibara walked past a shop, her eyes gleaming slightly.
This handbag seemed to be a new arrival!
"Do you have money?"
"..."
Ai Haibara looked up, her eyes clear.
What money did she have?!
Even if she had money, she wouldn't use it at this time.
Her account was probably locked by the Black Organization.
Once she used it, the other party would probably trace it back to her.
So she had money, but couldn't use it.
"Your current identity isn't suitable for buying a bag, don't even think about it."
Bai Ye patted her head and reminded her.
Don't forget what her current identity was.
Who had seen an elementary school student carrying such a large bag?
It wasn't that no children carried luxury items.
But such a large bag was clearly for adults.
But...
After Bai Ye finished speaking, he met Ai Haibara's strange gaze.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
No, right?
There shouldn't be anyone that arrogant, right?
"Do you really think women buy handbags just to carry them out?"
Ai Haibara looked at Bai Ye with a bit of pity.
This guy...
He probably hadn't been in love, had he?
He simply didn't know the true meaning of women buying handbags.
"What kind of look is that?! I have many girls who like me!"
"But you've never been in love, zero dating experience!"
"I can be in love right now!"
"But you still have zero dating experience!"
Ai Haibara finally understood.
This guy said so much, but still didn't understand girls.
Girls buy handbags simply because they want to buy them.
It's just like buying clothes.
Even if their closets are overflowing, they can still say they have nothing to wear, it's the same logic.
Is it really that they have nothing to wear?
Not at all!
It's just that after wearing something a few times, they don't want to wear it anymore, and then they see other different ones, or even slightly similar ones, and want to buy them.
"But you don't have money now!"
Bai Ye looked at Ai Haibara with a grin.
He might not understand, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
The one who was really in a hurry should be Ai Haibara, right?
After all, he wasn't the one buying the bag.
"Lend me some, I should have a salary for this research work, right?"
Ai Haibara was a bit unwilling.
Just as Bai Ye said, she had no money, how could she buy it?
"Interest will be charged, you know."
"Then no thanks!"
Ai Haibara was a top student, so she naturally knew that if she borrowed money from Bai Ye with interest.
Then she wouldn't know when she would pay it back.
So Ai Haibara wouldn't borrow money from Bai Ye, even if she liked this handbag now.
www.Ttkann.
Then forget it.
She was just an elementary school student now.
She really shouldn't have such strong shopping desires.
"Are you sure? I can give you low interest!"
"No!"
Bai Ye felt a bit regretful.
Ai Haibara didn't seem to fall for it.
Getting someone to owe him money would make it easier for him to make demands later.
But it didn't matter.
If she didn't borrow, then she didn't borrow.
He didn't necessarily need Ai Haibara to borrow money from him.
He had originally come out this time to buy school supplies for Ai Haibara.
"Don't tell me I have to buy all my textbooks at the library!"
Didn't schools usually procure them centrally?
Did she still need to buy textbooks?
She originally thought she only needed to buy some stationery.
"Because you're a transfer student, the school didn't prepare for it.
We can buy them ourselves, the school would definitely take a kickback, it's more cost-effective if we buy them ourselves."
Bai Ye didn't want to make money for others.
If he had the time, he might as well buy them himself.
"You're really stingy... You can save money, huh?"
"You don't know I have a whole family to take care of!"
How could he not save money?
He worked hard to complete various tasks.
He also had to take care of his other selves in other worlds, buying weapons and such, he also wanted to show some of his own value.
After all, although he could lie flat.
But he couldn't always let his other selves in other worlds keep paying, could he?
"Do you still have family at home?"
Ai Haibara was hearing Bai Ye talk about his family for the first time.
She was actually very curious.
What kind of existence was Bai Ye's family?
Were they an exorcist clan?
"No, I'm alone."
"..."
You're alone and you say you have a whole family to support?
A family from the Hollow?
Ai Haibara couldn't help but inwardly complain.
