These Dangerous Girls Placed Me Into Jeopardy

Chapter 8: I Met a Lolita On the Way

Proofread by DragonRider

Around Nine thirty in the morning, after I had told my mom and Xinran that I wouldn’t be home in the afternoon, I went out.

However, I still didn’t find any suitable job in the malls nearby without eating lunch.

Most of the places didn’t accept high school students, especially someone like me who could only work after class or on the weekends. After all, lots of the shops closed at night. Therefore, I could only look for a job in a shop which stayed open twenty-four hours a day.

Unfortunately, all the supermarkets, fast-food restaurants and coffee shops I had tried turned me away.

It would be easier to look for a job in the summer vacation. Right now, I really had some difficulties.

Having met with several refusals, I sat on the bench in the plaza tiredly while drinking up all my canned coffee.

“So the only choices left for me are Karaokes or the bars…” I sighed and threw the can in my hands toward the trash can nearby.

But I missed.

The can bumped on the edge of the trash can and flew to another direction.

And it hit right on the head of a passenger.

“Eh…” I stood up right away and put my palms together to apologize.

“I’m so sorry…” However, the person who was hit by me covered her head and shouted at once. Then she turned around and glared at me, saying, “Who did this? Couldn’t you just walk over and throw it?!”

“Eh…” I didn’t realize that was someone I knew.

No wonder the can could hit on her head. She was only a bit taller than the trash can… The unlucky person who was hit by my can was my classmate, Xiang Yuexun.

Although we were in the same class, she looked just like a student from an elementary school. I assumed she could only reach my diaphragm when we stood together. And now she wasn’t wearing the school uniform. Instead, she dressed up like a Gothic Lolita, which made her look more like a child.

Gothic Lolita costume… She was a ghoul who dressed like a vampire. Maybe I should call that another kind of cosplay.

Nevertheless, this costume did suit her well.

Especially with her waist-length straight black hair hanged down loosely behind her back and her straight bang covering her forehead, she fit perfectly with the image of the dark Gothic Lolita in my imagination.

Well, she belonged to the dark side indeed… After all, she was a Lolita who ate people.

Meanwhile, Xiang Yuexun also found out that I was the one who had hit her. Then with her eyes blinked, she smiled at me and walked over happily. Then she said to me with her hands on her hips,

“Isn’t this Jun Cheng Jun?”

“I’ve told you not to call me in such a strange way… Don’t you feel it’s hard to pronounce?”

“I find it quite cute.”

“But I feel awkward when I hear it.”

“Jun Cheng Jun, Jun Cheng Jun, Jun Cheng Jun~ Cheng Jun Cheng Jun Cheng~Cheng Jun Cheng, Cheng Jun Cheng, Cheng Jun Cheng Jun Cheng～Jun Cheng Jun Cheng Jun～”

“All right, that’s enough! I almost couldn’t pronounce my own name!” I couldn’t believe I was not able to control myself only by listening to her. Actually, she looked so adorable when she was singing and jumping… Ok… One, two, three…

“Hmm? What happened, Cheng Jun, why did you close your eyes?”

“Nothing, just preventing myself from doing bad things.” Luckily, the Gothic Lolita costume Xiang Yuexun was wearing was not very exposed. Thus I managed to keep my mind steady in a short minute. When I opened my eyes again, I found Xiang Yuexun already came up to me. She patted my belly spontaneously and said with a grin, “Hey… By the way, when did you leave the hospital? Are you sauntering on the street shortly after you discharge from hospital?”

“I have left the hospital this morning. And I didn’t come out for a stroll. I was looking for a suitable job.”

“A job? That’s weird. Are you short of money?”

“Or why do you think I want to find a job… Don’t you remember someone have returned an empty wallet to me?” I stared critically at this Lolita who was in a cold sweat with my eyes squinted and said that. And this girl, who had used up the money in my wallet on her own turned her face away while waving her hands, saying to me with her cold sweats streaming, “Ah ha ha… That, that was the fee for my treatment. My treatment. You see, the saliva of a ghoul is really valuable!”

“Are you sure…”

“Of course. Even if it didn’t have the effect of cure you, the saliva from a Lolita should value that amount of money! My saliva is so much better than the ones from any other girls, right? You might get aids from other girls! But mine is natural and has no side effects. You can even cure yourself with it. How cost-efficient is that!”

“… Is that so?” I looked at her doubtfully with my eyes narrowed. But I didn’t refute her this time. Instead I changed the subject and talked to her smilingly,

“Thanks to you that I could heal so fast. So I’ll buy you dinner in return. How about the steak? You can have as many as you want!” Why did I sound like a middle-aged man who was using a lollipop to seduce a little girl…? And I didn’t know if the Lolita who was actually more than five hundred years old would fall for that.

“Really?! That’s perfect, yay!”

Well (I covered my face), it seemed that I had overestimated her.

Hearing that I was going to buy her dinner, Xiang Yuexun jumped by one foot happily while clapping her hands with light flashing in her eyes. And her saliva… was dribbling down from the corner of her mouth.

Then I stopped smiling immediately and squatted down to pinch her cheek, while saying in a vile visage, “You liar! I saw you dribbling down your saliva when you heard of the food just now! And you still wanna tell me that your saliva is precious?!”

“Purr! U r hunting me (Hurting me), light gau aomi (Let go of me)!”

“Then why did you lie to me? Xue Qing has already told me that you have spent all my money on your clothes. By the way, I believe it was Xue Qing who has given me her saliva, not you.” After her face being pinched by me for so long, Xiang Yuexun finally couldn’t stand it. Having dumped my hands, she covered her face which had already turned red because of my pinch while screaming, “That’s enough!”

“You think you have the right to say that? What about me?” If it were not for her who had spent my money lavishly, I wouldn’t even need to look for a job. And I didn’t make any progress until now. That was so annoying.

“All right, all right, all right. It’s my fault, OK? … I didn’t mean to spend all your money. It’s just my salary hasn’t been paid at the time when I saw the picture of this Gothic Lolita costume. Then I couldn’t help sending the request to customize one for myself…”

“Oh, it’s true that this costume was custom made… Well, it does worth the price since it looks so lovely.” This costume was perfect in workmanship unlike the ones for retail. And it was a whole suit from the hair accessories to the black leather shoes. What’s more, it was well-fitting for her. So it should have been customized.

“Like I said, right? I fell in love with it at the first sight!”

She looked so adorable in that suit that I even wanted to take her home.

Well, I would let it pass. After all, I couldn’t ask my money back since she had already spent all of it. Just consider it as my medical fee. Moreover, what she had just said was quite reasonable. Xue Qing’s saliva had only had the treatment effects because Xiang Yuexun had possessed on her. And I had got the chance to taste many times of that sweet and cute saliva of the Lolita as well as her exquisite cherry-like lips, even her tender tongue… Eh… Damn it… One, two, three… “What? Is my mental state in chaos again?” After counting to twenty-two, I finally managed to suppress that sticky feeling in my brain. Then I opened my eyes in a daze and asked Xiang Yuexun, “What?”

“Nothing important. But are you feeling all right now, Cheng Jun?”

“Ah, I should be OK for the moment… gosh…” How could I have feelings for this Lolita? It looked like I really was beyond remedy.

“Don’t worry, Cheng Jun. I’ll pay you back when I get my wages.”

“No, you don’t have to. However, are you doing any part-time jobs lately? If you are, can you introduce the job to me? I want to work part-time on the weekends. But it’s just so hard to find one…” I believed I could do the job that even a Lolita was capable of doing.

Then again, wasn’t the one who had hired Xiang Yuexun afraid of being charged of hiring child laborer… Meanwhile, Xiang Yuexun tilted her head and said reluctantly with her forefinger tapping her cheek, “Sorry, but you couldn’t do the job I am doing right now… Haven’t you seen my job duties?”

“Ah…” She meant eating the corpse… She got paid by helping people getting rid of the corpses and obliterating all the traces.

“That really is something I can’t do…” I lowered my head and sighed again.

Then it was time for me to continue to look for a job.

“Well, I guess we should say…” As I was about to say goodbye to Xiang Yuexun, she dragged my sleeves and said, “However, I could introduce another job for you, Cheng Jun. And you’ll find it suit you perfectly.” (Xiang)

“Really? What is it?” (An)

“I can’t tell you the details. You can walk around first and wait until it’s dark. You’ll find out what I am talking about when you get home.” (Xiang)

“Huh?” So, she couldn’t tell me the job’s duty and I could only know about it when I got home. Also I had to stay out of home until it was dark? What kind of job was she about to introduce to me? Was that job really going to find me at my home by itself? That was just so weird.

“Just relax~ I won’t lie to you～” (Xiang)

“You have lied to me before…” (An)

“Come on! Just trust me this time!” (Xiang)

“Eh… Fine… I’ll come back home during the period from eight o’clock to nine o’clock, OK?” (An)

“OK! That is late enough. So I’ll leave first~” (Xiang)

“Ah…” (Xiang) I didn’t know what had popped in Xiang Yuexun’s mind. She suddenly ran away with full energy.

The expression on her face made me feel that she had got some wicked ideas to carry out. I saw her licking her lips with her little tongue and waving to me vigorously. Then she left in a hurry.

So I just hanged out at the outside until eight thirty in the evening.

It was not quite boring, because I met another person on the way… However, I felt my stomach twitching when I thought of her. So I would make no mention of this girl.

After escaping from her with great effort, I arrived at home at around eight forty.

When I was thinking how Xiang Yuexun would introduce me a job, I saw a letter in our mailbox which hadn’t been used for a long time.

“Gee?” A letter? Did people in this generation still post letters? I remembered someone had mailed letters to my father when I had been a child. But nobody ever sent letters after smartphones had been popularized.

Might be an advertisement… I took the letter to have the look out of curiosity.

“What?”

It was sent to me.

I saw my name on the addressee column. However, the name of the sender was not on the envelope, neither was the stamp… So was it a private letter from someone?

Although it looked suspicious, I still opened the envelope and started to read the letter.

It was not a letter but a flyer in the envelop.

Also, the flyer was designed great. With a paper which was comfortable to touch and a delicate frame, it was more like an invitation letter.

So why had I just called it a flyer?

It was because of its content…

[Part-time job recruitment: Cleaning the mansion. No experience needed. One time per week. Four hundred yuan per day. Reimburse the travelling expenses.

Address: Building No.212, Jingqiu Garden, Baoshan Road, No.1 District.]

“OK, OK, OK!” I see. This was the part-time job which Xiang Yuexun had promised to introduce me.

By saying that I had to wait until I got home, she meant she would send me the flyer to me. Had she come back to take it on purpose? However, why did I have to wait until night… Well, I still couldn’t understand that.

“The flyer is from the unknown source. I wouldn’t suggest you to go.” (Yu Hui)

“Awe!” (An)

Yu Hui showed up behind me all of a sudden and said that, which almost made me fall forward.

“It would be better if you could just give me a head up before you show up…” My heart couldn’t take it if she kept appearing herself in this way.

At the same time, Yu Hui walked toward me and said with a serious look.

“I am so sorry… If you really need the money, I can offer you. I could afford the amount within eight hundred million yuan.”

Eight hundred million yuan?!

Why did a high school student have that much of money?!

Yu Hui knew what I was thinking by only looking at the expression on my face. Then she explained to me shortly.

“It actually belonged to you in your previous life. I have only found part of your properties. So, it’s your own money at the first place.”

“Eh…” From my previous life again… But eight hundred million yuan was way too much for me… I felt like I was obeying the rules somehow.

I didn’t like the way which seemed like cheating. So I preferred to come down to earth and spend the money that I owned by myself.

“It’s not necessary. I just feel a bit weird to take the money… You know what I mean, right? And I have already found a job, right? I’m intending to go have a try.”

“But…”

“Hey, don’t worry. It’s a job introduced by my friend. There won’t be any problems.” Although there was still an anxious look on Yu Hui’s face, I was still determined to go.

This job suited all my requests and was well-paid. I doubted if I could find any other jobs like this one.

Of course I wouldn’t be so stupid to walk into a trap and get more kicks than halfpence.

The main reason I would take the job was because Xiang Yuexun was the one who had introduced it… I didn’t think she would set me up. How could a ghost who had possessed on Xue Qing be a bad ghost? Moreover, the color of the title above her head was blue. Thus I was willing to trust her.

What’s more important, I didn’t have other choices.

If I still couldn’t find a job during this week, I would have to delay my date.

In conclusion, I would have a try tomorrow.

Come to think about it, there must be so many people applying for this job due to the excellent pay and conditions… The recruiter hadn’t written how many people he needed or how big was the mansion… I had to go there to have a look.

Then I decided to go there early in the morning tomorrow. I should also change to a decent suit in order to make a good impression on the recruiter.

Coocoocoo… My stomach was growling now.

After I had put the letter in my pocket, I turned around and found that Yu Hui had already disappeared as expected.

Then having rubbed my nose, I turned around to walk to my house. As I opened the door, I shouted,

“I’m home.”

Anyway, I should eat first.
