Liu Ming hadn't walked long before he found his target.
Long golden hair, tied in a single ponytail on the side, wearing a white cape with the words "Evil Dragon God" written on the back.
No matter how you looked at it, it resembled the attire of a delinquent girl.
Hearing the sound, the blonde girl immediately turned around, her eyes vigilantly watching Liu Ming, "Who are you? Are you with them?"
Liu Ming scratched his head, suddenly not knowing what to say.
"If there's nothing, please leave, otherwise I won't be polite," the blonde girl said angrily.
"Wait, I have something to say."
The blonde girl's face wrinkled, seemingly a little impatient.
Liu Ming finally decided it was better to get straight to the point, no need to drag it out. He asked, "Do you want to work at my store?"
"What do you mean?" The blonde girl didn't understand what Liu Ming said for a moment.
"The things in your hand, you stole them, didn't you? Do you know that's illegal? If you get caught, you'll go to jail. You're young, so you might not go to jail, but criticism and education are unavoidable, and I'm sure that's not what you want to see."
"As long as I don't get caught, it's fine," the blonde girl said coldly.
"Do you want to live like this forever, being chased wherever you go, like you are now? Do you know that your behavior is quite annoying? You don't want to become that kind of person, do you?"
The blonde girl fell silent, and her outstretched hand also lowered.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want to gain something, you should also give something in return. My restaurant is hiring, with food and lodging provided, ten thousand a day. Are you interested?"
"Are you serious?" The blonde girl was a little moved, and her eyes flickered.
Liu Ming extended his hand, "Come with me and you'll find out."
The blonde girl stared intently at the hand in front of her, and after a moment of hesitation, slowly extended her small hand.
Liu Ming smiled gently, took the blonde girl's hand, and walked towards his restaurant.
"My name is Liu Ming, you can just call me Boss. What's your name?"
"My name is Kyoko," the golden-haired girl replied.
"Kyoko, what a cute name," Liu Ming praised.
Kyoko's face immediately became unnatural, and she quickly retorted, "Cute? Don't joke around."
"Alright, actually I was just kidding, the name Kyoko isn't cute at all," Liu Ming said.
"What did you say?" Kyoko's tone became a little sharp.
"Haha~~" Liu Ming burst out laughing.
After Liu Ming's teasing, Kyoko's nervous mood relaxed quite a bit.
"If you really plan to work for me, then you first need to apologize to the people in the stores where you stole things before, and return the corresponding amount of money to them."
"Why?" Kyoko was puzzled.
"When you do something wrong, of course you have to apologize. But you can rest assured, I will advance the money for you, and then slowly deduct it from your salary," Liu Ming said comfortingly.
Kyoko pouted, turning her head to the other side in displeasure.
On the way back, the two encountered one of the people who had been chasing Kyoko earlier.
Kyoko instinctively wanted to run away, but Liu Ming held her back.
"Don't worry, I'm here," Liu Ming's gentle words calmed Kyoko's restless heart, and the surging superpower on her body slowly receded.
That person clearly knew Liu Ming, and seeing Liu Ming holding Kyoko, he was very considerate and merely explained the situation once.
"Go back and tell them to tally their losses, and then come to my restaurant to collect the money. Kyoko, you've caused so much trouble for others, why don't you quickly apologize to them?"
Liu Ming gently pulled Kyoko forward. After all, she would be living here in the future, and it was better not to make relations with the neighbors too strained, otherwise, everyone would only be awkward when they met.
"I'm truly very sorry," Kyoko said to the person.
Along the way, Liu Ming had briefly explained some social common sense to her, making Kyoko understand how wrong her previous actions were.
So when she heard Liu Ming ask her to apologize, she didn't resist too much.
Seeing her good attitude, and that she was just a child, that person didn't delve deeper and left after exchanging a few words with Liu Ming.
Liu Ming took Kyoko back to the restaurant.
Kyoko looked up and gazed around, curiously observing her surroundings. There was a lot more anticipation in her eyes now.
"Is this where I'll be working in the future? It feels really nice."
"Heh heh, does that even need to be said? This is my store! Once you get used to it, you probably won't want to leave."
"Alright, stop looking, I'll take you to your room first. You absolutely need to change out of those clothes; you're not allowed to dress like that in my store."
Looking at Kyoko's current delinquent attire, Liu Ming had a strange feeling of looking at his past self, always finding it an eyesore.
That was definitely a dark history, and he didn't want to bring it up at all.
Kyoko's room wasn't big, but it was enough for her alone.
It had a bed, a desk, a chair, and other daily necessities, but she had to go to the shared bathroom to shower.
Kyoko was very satisfied with this. If Liu Ming hadn't stopped her, she would have even wanted to jump on the bed and roll around a few times.
She had been sleeping under a bridge every day, exposed to the wind and rain, so how could she enjoy such good treatment?
"Go take a bath now, then change your clothes. As for the new clothes, I'll put them outside."
"Understood," Kyoko nodded.
After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Liu Ming, "Thank you, Manager."
Liu Ming waved his hand and said nothing.
He had casually made a promise earlier, but now that he wanted to fulfill it, he found it quite difficult.
Judging by her physique, Miyu and Xiao Lingyin's clothes should fit Kyoko.
However, both of them were currently at school, so he couldn't possibly go to their rooms and rummage through their clothes. Even if he knew they wouldn't mind, he couldn't do that.
As for Tohru and Elma's clothes...
Forget about it.
Their figures completely dwarfed Kyoko's flat chest.
After much thought, he finally chose the custom-made clothes. Although a bit large, they would suffice for now.
When Miyu and the others returned in the evening, there would be suitable clothes.
