Chapter 178 Staff Meal

After defeating the alien insects, Jiang Xia continued to be his own chef.

Tiandao was nowhere to be found again, but Jiang Xia guessed that he might have gone to exercise or buy groceries and cook.

"Amazing, you're much stronger than Kagami."

The proprietress was surprised when she saw the restaurant's revenue today.

"Thank you for the compliment. Xiaoxi taught me well. I still need to familiarize myself with the cooking methods of some dishes." Jiang Xia said with a smile.

The sun has set, and today Jiangxia also experienced the working hours of workers.

But this was nothing to him, but Kusakabe Xi was really tired today.

Seeing Kusakabe Xi's expression, Jiang Xia walked up to the proprietress and whispered:
"We should find Kagami back. Xiaoxi is a little exhausted."

"Well, we should hire another person."

Seeing Kusakabe Xi lying on the table exhausted, the proprietress felt sorry for him.

She treated Xiaoxi as her own daughter, and although most of the guests were good people,
But because this affects Xiaoxi's health, she would rather not have so many guests.

"Leave it to me, I'll handle it." Jiang Xia said.

"By the way, your room has been cleaned up. Xiaoxi will take you there later." said the proprietress.

"Ok."

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, go back to your room and rest."

After Jiang Xia changed his clothes, he found Xiaoxi had fallen asleep on the table.

"Hmm~" Kusakabe Xi said in a daze.

"Okay, this is the only way." Jiang Xia sighed, picked her up by the waist and put her in her room.

Looking at Kusakabe Xi who was covered with a quilt and fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Xia gently closed the door.

"The environment is okay, clean and tidy." Jiang Xia said, looking at his room.

The space is not big, but it has everything you need.

Jiang Xia likes white and is very fond of cleanliness, so for him, comfort is not the first priority, neatness and cleanliness are.

Almost nothing here can escape his perception. With a perception ability several times that of humans, he is able to cope with most of the troubles in life.

As night fell, Master Jiang, who had been tired all day, fell into a deep sleep.

"Search, the key words are: knight system, protozoa, manufacturing method." Jiang Xia said.

And the other side.

Kagami is working in the mobile command room, because the Zerg don't care about day or night, they have no such concept.

Because Kagami recovered the knight's belt, he was promoted to a regular member of ZECT ahead of schedule.

However, he is still a junior with little experience compared to Shuichi Tadokoro and Yuzuki Misaki.

But what's even more unfortunate is that because Kagami was converted to a regular employee ahead of schedule, he has to stay in the van at night to check for alien insect infestations.

"Bang bang bang."

Countless bullets formed a firepower net, surrounding an alien insect in its larval state, while ant soldiers wearing black combat uniforms were surrounding it.

"Very good, we're almost there." Kagami looked at the alien insects that were about to be defeated in the monitor and said encouragingly to the ant soldiers.

At this moment, the alien insect had been pushed to its limit. Although the shell of its larvae form could block bullets, it could not stop the simultaneous shooting of dozens of people.

"Be careful, it's time to shed its skin."

Kagami looked at the monitor and shouted immediately when he saw that the temperature of the alien insects had soared to over 100 degrees.

But it was obviously too late. The moment Kagami shouted, the alien insects used super acceleration to kill all the surrounding ant soldiers.

Super acceleration is almost invincible when facing humans.

"hateful."

Kagami looked at the ant soldiers who had fallen to the ground and pounded the table weakly.

After he got his belt back, he failed to gain recognition from any of the insect instruments.

Although he was converted to a regular employee, the feeling of powerlessness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

This feeling of powerlessness is inevitable. Everyone starts out as weak and progresses step by step. No one is born strong.

As a loud noise sounded, the vehicles of the Metropolitan Police Department surrounded the place and someone called the police. It was not just because of the ant soldiers, but the escaped alien insect killed another ordinary person during the mimicry process.

If they see the corpse of an ant soldier, they will notify ZECT, but if they see ordinary people being killed, they will choose to call the police.

"Don't move, or I'll shoot." The police pointed a gun at a young woman in white.

"Catch her, she's a murderer."

They swarmed over, restrained the young woman, and escorted her into the police car.

"Here are the details of what happened that night."

Kagami lowered her head and reported to Tanado Shuuichi.

"Misaki, you take care of the one who's in the police station. I'll notify ZECT to find the other one."

Tansho Shuichi glanced at the depressed Kagami and said:

"Kagami, take a day off. This is not your responsibility. When they joined ZECT, they were already prepared for death."

Kagami walked down the street alone, not knowing where to go.

When he had time, he would work at Sal's Restaurant, or he would train at ZECT. Now that he had a rare day off, he didn't know what to do.

"Why am I back here again?"

Kagami looked at the familiar sign and gave a bitter smile. He had been fired, so even if he wanted to stay here, he couldn't.

"Because this is more than just a place to work."

Jiang Xia opened the door, looked at Kagami standing outside the door in disappointment and said, "Come in."

"So that's how it is. I roughly understand it now."

Jiang Xia sat on the chair and listened patiently to Kagami's description of his mental journey.

Kagami wasn't feeling down because of the failure of the operation.

On the contrary, his desire to kill the Zerg had not changed at all. He was just confused about his own weakness. For a moment, he didn't know what he should do.

The failure in the knight selection and witnessing with his own eyes how the Zerg wiped out an elite team made Kagami feel depressed.

Jiang Xia stood up and handed the mop placed in the store to Kagami.

"Jiang Xia, what is this?"

“Instead of thinking so much, why not try doing something small first? You will naturally come here because your consciousness tells you that there is something here that can solve your confusion.”

"So, now go back to your old job." Jiang Xia said, leaning against the wall.

"suffer?"

"Change your clothes and go mop the floor. I can talk to the boss's wife and ask her to let you come back and continue working here until you don't want to do it anymore."

"Oh."

Kagami changed her clothes skillfully and began to clean the store carefully.

"Put the stools in place, the guests will be arriving soon."

Jiang Xia looked at Kagami and said loudly.

"Yes."

"Kagami, you're back."

As soon as Kusakabe Xi came down the stairs, he saw Jiang Xia with a stern face and Kagami who was being ordered around.

"Xiao Xi, go make a miso mackerel for Kagami. He will be working here again, so he is now eligible for employee meals." Jiang Xia said.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

"really?"

When Kagami heard that Xiao Xi was willing to make miso mackerel for him, he suddenly came alive and a familiar silly smile appeared on his face again.

"My guess was right. The answer is miso mackerel."

Jiang Xia looked into Kagami's heart. The moment she heard Xiaoxi's agreement, Kagami's confusion and loss were all filled with excitement.

Although he is not a male protagonist like Tendo Souji who reaches the highest level right from the start, the growth rate of Kagami, the future god of war Gundam, is extremely amazing.
