Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a s*x shop? 

Aoba traveled through the world of souman and became the owner of a izakaya.

He originally wanted to run the izakaya and relax, but he didn’t expect that all the people who came to the izakaya were guys who were greedy for his body!

This is an izakaya, not a sex shop!!!

Kamishiro Rize: Hehe, the store manager’s food tastes amazing!!!

Erina Nakiri: Store…Manager! I, I want more!!!

Kasumigaoka Utaha: It hurts so much… Only a kiss from the store manager can make it better!

Busujima Saeko: As the eldest wife, I will not put my husband in a difficult position!

Aoba: No, don’t come over here!!!

Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?
Chapter 1: Late-night attack! Was the protagonist’s body picked up?
Zongman: This is a pub, you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 1: Late-night attack! The protagonist’s body was picked up?
“Mrs. Yuigahama, that’s enough! That’s enough!!”
“Hey, Aoba-chan, don’t be shy. It’s not easy for you to live alone!”
“This is all from my aunt, just accept it.”
“Don’t refuse!”
Tokyo.
District 20.
The night wind drifted by like a gentle breeze, bringing with it a burst of fragrance.
It makes every passerby who passes by Qingye look sideways.
Aoba was carrying the cocktail ingredients bought from the market. With his nose slightly moving under the strands of hair on his forehead, he seemed to be able to smell the perfume on Mrs. Yuigahama.
I clearly just wanted to purchase some raw materials, but ended up being stuffed with a lot of things by those sisters and aunts in the market.
Now we don’t have to worry about running out of ingredients for the izakaya in the next week.
“Next time, please bring more snacks for Mrs. Yuigahama and the others.”
Qingye was grateful.
Even the red marks left by the pockets on my hands were slightly relieved.
Looking at the bustling Tokyo streets that are gradually entering the nightlife.
With more and more women’s ‘envious’ gazes around him, Qingye couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
Gotta go back and open the shop soon!
After turning a few corners, the bustling streets of Tokyo gradually turned into deserted and dim alleys.
Under the dim streetlight, several moths flew towards the only heat source in a disorderly manner.
I don’t know why, but it’s just the beginning of autumn.
Qingye actually felt a chill…
The faint fragrance at the tip of the nose disappeared at this moment!
Along with the dry night wind came an extremely strong smell of rust! !
“Hiha~!”
“What a nice smell! What a nice smell!! Really—it smells so nice!!!”
“He’s mine!!”
“be mine!!”
A rough voice sounded in my ears, and the fishy smell of rust instantly became several times stronger.
Qingye’s whole body stiffened and he looked sideways.
I saw three human-like figures of different shapes squatting at the bottom of the alley.
Two of them had blood-red muscles tightly packed on their backs, and what looked like human finger remnants hanging from their mouths.
The three men’s noses were twitching wildly, and saliva mixed with blood was flowing uncontrollably to the ground from the corners of their mouths. Their blood-red eyes were staring at Qingye intently.
“I’m so hungry!!!”
“Hungry!!!”
“Eat! Eat him!!!”
Staring at the three crazy and inhuman figures gradually approaching and appearing under the light, Qingye’s expression suddenly shocked.
Ghoul…?
How could a ghoul appear in District 20?!
District 20 is a stable area, so in theory nothing unusual will happen there.
Could it be that this is a fish that slipped through the net that the Inspection Office let go?
Aoba looked towards the izakaya.
Must run!
He ran into the izakaya first. With his familiarity with the terrain, he could definitely reach the main street of District 20 faster than the three ghouls!
The chaos caused by the appearance of ghouls will inevitably alert the Inspection Office.
Only in this way can he survive!
Think everything through.
Qingye moved his feet slightly, slowly stepped back and bowed, and clenched his fists holding the bag.
Watching the three ghouls getting closer and closer, he could even clearly see the remaining flesh and blood at the corners of the ghouls’ mouths!
Fight! !
Suddenly!
Aoba kicked his feet hard, his eyes fixed on the ghoul on his left who was staggering.
He rushed to the left with all his might.
“Hungry……!”
When he saw the food, he actually rushed towards him.
These ghouls suddenly jumped up, almost getting close to Aoba’s face. Their fangs were cold in their blood-stained mouths, and sticky saliva dripped from their mouths like silk.
“Get out… now!!!”
Aoba watched the three ghouls’ movements closely, and suddenly exerted force with his right hand.
He threw the base wine filled in his pockets at the heads of the three ghouls!
Bang!!!
The pungent smell of alcohol spread instantly, and the broken glass made the three ghouls scream and fall to the ground.
There was also a hint of surprise in Qingye’s eyes.
Something is wrong!
Is this ghoul so weak? He doesn’t even have a kagune?
But even so, he couldn’t deal with three adult ghouls by himself.
It’s better to run to a safe area as soon as possible!
Throwing down the bag in his other hand, Aoba ran towards the back of the izakaya without looking back.
Seeing the food that was about to reach their mouths run away, the three ghouls, overwhelmed by their appetite, did not hesitate, stood up and roared, chasing after it.
Just a moment.
The sounds of wine bottles breaking, Aoba panting, and ghouls roaring made the quiet alley particularly lively.
But it didn’t seem to attract anyone’s attention.
After all, at this time, no one living on this street is at home and they are all busy making a living.
Qingye himself had no intention of asking for help.
With his adrenaline rushing, he ran towards the back of the izakaya.
However……
Creak.
Next to the izakaya, a slightly shabby door was pushed open from the inside.
A cute and fragile little girl with tears on her young face appeared in Qingye’s eyes.
The light pink hair made him feel even colder.
“Ah—ooh—ni—”
The little girl pulled the door handle and tilted her head to look at Aoba who was running towards the izakaya, very confused.
An unpleasant and harsh sound like tearing a rag came from his throat.
She didn’t notice the three ghouls behind her who looked like predators to her.
The dull roar did not attract the little girl’s attention.
Or rather…
She couldn’t hear at all.
Qingye subconsciously stopped his steps, and the soles of his shoes made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the asphalt road.
Even he himself didn’t react, so why should he dare to stop?
Glass’s eyes were still fixed on him.
Little did he know that the three ghouls behind him had already opened their bloody mouths.
“Hungry!!”
Ghouls, no longer human at all, are controlled by their appetite and only want to eat all the food they see.
And the glass…
In their eyes, it is undoubtedly the most delicious one.
The next moment.
“Go in quickly!”
BANG!!
Qingye’s pupils shrank suddenly, and his body moved unconsciously. He slammed the glass and the door shut!
The door is locked.
An unimaginable force came from behind, making Qingye’s brain dizzy in an instant.
The veins on my neck are bulging!
The whole person was hung on the door like a torn sack, making a loud rumbling sound.
He swore.
This was the closest he had ever been to death since he traveled through time.
“eat!!!”
Hearing the roar coming from behind his head, Qingye collapsed to the ground and turned his head to look at the locked and deformed door.
He withdrew his gaze and smiled speechlessly at the ghoul beside him who was holding his arm and preparing to bite it.
In an instant.
A faint and elegant fragrance lingered at Qingye’s nose.
Accompanied by the sound of people falling to the ground one after another.
After a moment, an intellectual face with a sweet smile appeared before him.
“Sir, you smell so good!”
Qingye looked at this intellectual and elegant fair face and was slightly stunned.
My heart has sunk to the bottom.
Is this like escaping from the tiger’s den and entering the wolf’s den?
Kamishiro Rize!
Also known as ‘Big Ghoul’ and ‘Glutton’, an S-class ghoul.
“This smile…”
“This taste…”
“Ah~”
“I can’t help it!”
Qingye looked at the pair of eyes that were so close to him, and they instantly turned crimson…
I have already accepted my fate.
etc!
Something seems wrong?
Hmm…
My mouth seems to be blocked by something…
Moreover, it seemed like I was being picked up by something?

late at night.
Izakaya.
Qingye felt the weight on his body and the collarbone beside his mouth, and his thoughts finally became clearer.
“No, you…hiss, be gentle!!!”
“Still biting, huh?!”
Resistance is futile.
Qingye decisively opened his mouth and bit down hard.
With a warm current entering…
He suddenly felt his eyelids become unusually heavy.
【Da Kui is interacting…】
[Awakening Skill ‘Gluttony’]…
[Gluttony skill improvement +1][Gluttony skill improvement…]When Qingye woke up again from his daze.
The moonlight cut through the room, and the bright silvery moonlight sprinkled on Qingye’s body which was covered with teeth marks.
There is actually a sense of fragmentation as if beautiful things have been destroyed.
“Gulp…”
Suddenly, the sound of swallowing saliva was heard in the room.
Qingye looked over alertly.
Next second.
The door below the izakaya was banged loudly.
“Manager Aoba!”
“Mr. Store Manager!!”
“No one’s in trouble here, right?!”
“Where are the people from the Inspection Office?!”
“They’ve already been here, and Nitro has been taken away for inspection.”
“I heard from Mrs. Nishimiya that Naoko was just frightened, and the last person she saw was Mr. Aoba.”
“Hey! Aoba, we’re going to bang on the door!”
When Qingye heard the familiar voice coming from outside, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
My whole body felt sore and numb as if it had been run over by a truck more than thirty times.
“I…hiss!!”
I just moved my legs one step, and the feeling of soreness and tingling spread throughout my body.
“Kamiyo Rize…”
Qingye covered his lower back with his hands and shook his head. With a complicated expression, he picked up the clothes that had not been completely torn apart by the crazy woman from the bed and put them on.
Staggered and turned on the light.
The next second…
“Don’t~!”
A second voice came from the room.
Click.
The white light illuminated the room.
On the floor at the end of the bed, a blonde girl was hugging her legs, staring at Aoba with wide eyes, a bit dazed.
“ah!!!”
“You, you, you…why aren’t you wearing any clothes?!”
A few seconds later.
Qingye’s somewhat numb head finally reacted.
But at this time he no longer cared about whether he was wearing clothes or not.
The neighbors downstairs had already broken down the door of the izakaya.
“Mr. Manager, are you okay?!”
“Xiao Qingye, sorry, we’re coming in!”
Many people followed the blood trail upstairs and knocked on the door to no avail.
Opened the door directly.
“Qingye…”
“Woo~!”
The door opened and everyone looked around.
On the messy bed, a handsome young man was frowning slightly and covering his head.
“Aoba?”
“Are…are you okay?”
A tall middle-aged man looked at the teeth marks on Qingye’s shoulder and said worriedly.
But after all, it was just a tooth mark, and it didn’t look like there was any wound.
Aoba nodded weakly: “Uncle Kohe, is Naoko okay?”
“Glass has been sent to the hospital. She was just frightened. Are you… really okay?”
“It’s okay. I was knocked unconscious and I don’t know how I got back.”
Qingye smiled gently and calmly.
But Gu He could still see the reluctance hidden under that smile.
This child is too strong, it’s okay for him to rely on outsiders occasionally.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
Seeing that Qingye was not seriously injured, they did not want to disturb Qingye’s rest.
After repeated instructions, he quietly closed the door and walked out of the izakaya.
Sitting on the bed and watching the heavy task of helping to clean up outside the izakaya, Aoba finally felt relieved.
But the vague feeling made his face freeze again.
“What are you doing?!”
Lift the quilt.
The blonde girl’s face flushed and her eyes were blurry.
It’s like enjoying the most ultimate beauty in the world.
“Hmm~!”
“tasty……!!”
The girl’s dazed eyes expressed her request, as if she had been deceived by something.
Aoba’s forehead was covered with black lines.
This is why he has never come into contact with girls in his two lifetimes.
Every girl who approaches him wants his body!
Simply.
He directly hit the blonde girl on the head, which brought her back to her senses.
“If you want some water, there’s some over there.”
“Huh? Oh! Yeah! Thank you!”
The girl was still a little confused at the moment, and then seemed to remember what she had just done.
The fair face turned red instantly!
After a delicate cry, she wrapped herself in the quilt and buried herself in Qingye.
What on earth did I do!!!
How could this happen?!
Do that kind of thing???
“But… the smell of that thing just now… why did it…”
The girl muttered to herself under the quilt.
Amber-like eyes were filled with ripples of the unknown and disbelief.
Aoba didn’t pay attention to the girl’s mood at the moment.
His attention was focused on the pile of old people’s heads in front of him.
“That woman…”
Aoba looked down at the letter paper with lipstick stains on it.
The moonlight is like water, you flow by yourself, your shadow is like a painting, I still pity you
moment!
(???ω???)!
Qingye’s face turned red.
no……
What does this mean!?
Praise me for being smooth? ?
This is an izakaya, and that woman is treating it like a sex shop! ?
Chapter 3: Overeating, physical fitness improved! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 3: Overeating, physical fitness improvement!
“I’ll go down first. There’s a toilet on the left, and the bathroom is inside too.”
Aoba took a quick shower.
He carefully put away the money and letter paper left by Kamishiro Rize.
He turned around and looked at the girl who was still doubting her life in bed, and sighed helplessly.
It was probably just bad luck that he was caught by Kamishiro Rize as food.
I just don’t know how an S-rank ghoul like Kamishiro Rize would appear in the 20th district.
As Qingye was thinking, he could hear the sounds of people coming and going downstairs.
For those of them who live in the alleys.
The nightlife in Tokyo’s 20 wards has just begun.
【Aoba】
【Izakaya (only)】
【Guest: Kamishiro Rize (30)】
[Skills: Gluttony (lv3), Cooking (lv3)][Entries: Succubus (Gold), Yin-Yang Harmony (Color)]After everything in the izakaya is ready.
Qingye looked at the illusory panel that appeared in front of him and was speechless.
Without saying anything, he ignored the golden entry.
What succubus?
When did he become a succubus?
Aren’t those older sisters and aunts all rushing towards him?
As for the only colored entry.
[Harmonizing Yin and Yang: Deepening Communication and Improving the Capabilities of Both Parties]Simple description.
Plus the gluttony in the skill.
I thought of Rize Kamishiro’s characteristics and her nickname “Oguri”.
Qingye gradually understood everything.
Okay, okay, let’s play it this way, okay?
【Gluttony: Digest food and improve physical fitness】
No wonder he was communicating with Kamishiro Rize before.
Just drink something and you’ll be fine again.
Come to the kitchen.
Fortunately, there were some leftovers in the kitchen yesterday, so I was able to fill my stomach.
Add soy sauce, mirin, sake, and a pinch of salt to the prepared broth.
Wait until the stock starts to steam in the pot.
Take the remaining oden from yesterday out of the refrigerator and pour it into the steamer to heat it up slightly.
Finally, pour hot soup on it and take a bite.
“Wow~ Delicious!”
After eating it, Qingye only felt a heat in his abdomen.
Then it was like drinking hot mulled wine on a winter day.
I feel warm all over.
My waist pain is gone and my legs are no longer weak.
The teeth marks also disappeared.
The effect is very good!
Although those entries may seem unreliable, they are surprisingly useful!!
Qingye adjusted his attitude again.
He did not take the fact that he was forced by Kamishiro Rize as a big deal.
Maybe he’s a man…
Or maybe it’s his inherently optimistic attitude.
“The izakaya…is open.”
Aoba pushed open the door of the izakaya and turned on the street sign lights.
The izakaya, which looked ordinary, suddenly had a sense of tranquility.
It seems like two different worlds from the outside world.
But the silence was immediately broken by the sound of rapid breathing.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
“Mr. Manager, are you okay?”
A female voice with a slight breath sounded.
Perhaps because of the running all the way, the sound was more like a cat’s meow, long and seductive.
Qingye looked behind him.
She was a very beautiful girl.
Her already beautiful face now had an even more charming blush due to exercise.
A white ribbon was tied around her long black hair that flowed like a waterfall.
The contrast between black and white complements each other’s charm.
“Thank you for your concern, Kasumigaoka-san.”
Aoba shook his head and his eyes drifted to the girl’s ear.
A few strands of hair playfully jumped out of their restraints, and beads of sweat stuck to the well-defined jaw.
“Hmm~?!”
“Mr. Manager, what are you looking at?”
Seeing that Aoba seemed to be really fine, Kasumigaoka caught Aoba’s wandering gaze again.
The corners of his mouth immediately curled up in a playful arc.
The footsteps moved slightly.
She lowered her body slightly, revealing her curvy figure.
She raised her eyes and stared into those gentle eyes, then said in a cute voice, “Do you want to… touch it?”
Bang!
A dull sound suddenly rang out.
Kasumigaoka only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he felt a knock on his head.
“Kasumigaoka-san!”
“Ouch, it hurts~~”
“Don’t be so anxious next time. Be sure to pay attention to safety.”
Qingye put down his hand knife and opened the door.
She took out a pack of wet wipes and two printed hairpins from the small drawer in the entrance hall and handed them over.
“Here, wipe the sweat off.”
“Hey, Master, you care about me so much, are you in love with me?”
Kasumigaoka looked at the hairpin in Aoba’s hand in a daze, and then let out a nonsensical hum.
“Yes, yes~”
“But we don’t have any soju today. You can only order oolong tea.”
“Hey~~! Why is this~~”
“There’s no point in being a spoiled brat. I just won’t have any today.”
“Wow, Mr. Manager is bullying girls…”
“There’s no point in pretending to be pitiful.”
“Humph! Mr. Manager, you’ll never find a girlfriend if you keep doing this!”
“There’s no need for Kasumigaoka-san to worry about this.”
Aoba tapped the girl’s forehead again with his hand knife.
“And hurry up and get in, don’t delay my business!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha straightened up proudly, raised her hand and said, “Hi, I want to drink oolong tea tonight!”
“I want another order of fried chicken!!”
“I know. Just wait a moment.”
Aoba smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the kitchen of the izakaya.
“Qingye!”
“Um?”
Suddenly.
A familiar voice called out to Qingye from behind.
“Uncle Furukawa?”
Aoba turned around and looked at the muscular uncle wearing an apron.
Furukawa Akio.
It was also the uncle who just went upstairs to look for him.
The owner of the only bakery on Ainosuke Street, and the man known as ‘the man who loves his wife the most in the world’.
After all, not everyone can eat Aunt Sanae’s bread with a smile on their face.
“Uncle Koga, Sanae didn’t let you try the new bread today? So she kicked you out?”
Aoba quipped.
“Get out! Sanae is so cute, how could she kick me out!!”
Uncle Guhe spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth in annoyance and moved aside to make room.
The three people behind, each with their own characteristics, immediately appeared in Qingye’s sight.
“These three are looking for you.”
“This guy with the big belly is Inspector Megure of the Security Department, Twenty District Public Prosecutors Office.”
“Hey! Megure, Aoba is the most handsome man in our ‘Aonosuke’. If you offend him, you’ll be complained to by the neighborhood women’s association!”
Uncle Furukawa patted Megure’s shoulder and glanced at the other two people without any hesitation.
White shirt and white pants, carrying a white suitcase…
It’s totally out of place for District 20.
Mostly guys from other districts!
“Ahem, stop messing around, Gu He, this time we have something serious to do.”
Inspector Megure covered his mouth and coughed twice, then showed his police ID to Aoba and said sternly:
“Mr. Aoba, I’m sorry to bother you so late.”
“We’re here to ask for your assistance in investigating tonight’s attack.”
“These two are investigators from the District 1 Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau…”
“Mado Wuxu.”
“Amon Kotaro.”

Chapter 4: Mado: You smell like Oguri! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 4 Mado: You smell like a big shot!
Following the introduction of Inspector Megure.
Next to him, Wu Xu, who was hunched over but had extremely sharp eyes, looked up and down at Qingye without any hesitation.
He rushed forward and pulled open Qingye’s collar.
A few teeth marks on the white collarbone with clear lines are particularly eye-catching!
“Hey! You…”
Seeing this, Uncle Furukawa rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.
But he was stopped halfway by Inspector Megure who had a bad idea in mind.
“Gu He, don’t be impulsive!”
I saw that both Furukawa Akio and Inspector Megure were looking at Mado Gosuo very unfriendlyly.
Amon Kotaro also stepped forward to persuade him, holding Mado Wuxi’s arm: “Mado-senpai, he shouldn’t be a ghoul, right?”
“Amon-kun, as an investigator, you must not let go of any information related to ghouls!”
“You’re still a little immature…”
Mado Wuxu looked at the teeth marks on Qingye’s neck with a sinister look, and laughed without warning.
“Hahaha!”
“This kid smells like Daigoku! There’s no mistaking it!!”
Ooku?!
This is a special title that only S-rank and above ghouls can have.
Upon hearing this, Kotaro Amon’s arms instantly tensed up!
He looked back and forth at Qingye, but in the end he sighed and said solemnly:
“Mado-senpai, this guy can’t be a ghoul.”
“nonsense!”
Uncle Furukawa waved his fist at the two of them and shouted:
“Aoba is one of the only two people in our ‘Aonosuke’ who can eat Sanae’s bread!”
“How could he be the ‘ghoul’ you’re talking about!!!”
As he said this, he struggled even harder.
When Inspector Megure heard this, his expression changed and he looked at Mado Wuxu: “Inspector Mado, if you use violence in law enforcement, I will report it directly to the Inspection Office and the Countermeasures Bureau!”
Faced with everyone’s doubts, Mado Wuxu remained unmoved.
His intuition was never wrong!
Ghouls, they stink wherever they go!!
“Mr. Mado, judging from this incident, I should be the victim, right?”
Aoba was originally surprised that he could come into contact with so many familiar people in one day.
Look directly into Mado Wuxu’s crazy and sharp eyes.
His right hand directly pinched the wrist of Zhenhu Wuxu who was pulling his collar.
“If you want to know more about the case, you can check the surveillance footage over there.”
“I don’t know what happened after I lost consciousness.”
“That’s the thing. If you two want to drink, I welcome you. If not, please help yourself.”
As Qingye exerted force, Mado Wuxu’s wrist made a “cracking” sound of bones rubbing against each other.
His five fingers weakly loosened Qingye’s collar.
“you……”
Seeing this, Kotaro Amon was extremely surprised.
He was actually able to break free from Mado-senpai? !
“Sorry, I got a little too excited.”
Forced to let go, Mado Wuxu laughed and shook his head.
Even though his wrist was pinched purple by Qingye, he did not show any anger.
“Officer Megure, we will report the incident to the Public Prosecutions Office after the investigation is completed. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Amon-kun, let’s go.”
“Huh? Oh.”
Kotaro Amon had no idea what Mado Gosho meant.
Confused, he could only find another opportunity to ask.
“By the way, Aoba-kun.”
As if nothing had happened just now, Mado Wuxu turned to look at Qingye, with an admiring smile in his eyes and said:
“Are you interested in becoming an investigator?”
“Huh? Sorry, I still have to run the izakaya.”
Although Aoba knew Mado Wu’s personality, it was just an anime after all.
Not as real as the living person in front of you.
“Really? Izakaya is a great place. If I have the chance, I hope to come here and have a good drink.”
“Well, I look forward to your visit then.”
Qingye straightened his collar and nodded with a smile.
“Humph! They’re really fast!”
Only after Mado Wuxiong and the others had walked away did Inspector Megure let go of Uncle Furukawa.
“I’m sorry, Koga.”
“I don’t know what clues Mado and the others have, but I have to go.”
“And Mr. Aoba, I’m so sorry!”
“It’s nothing. Officer Megure is just doing his job.”
Qingye shook his head and didn’t care.
From a human perspective, he still likes Mado Wuxu very much.
As a husband, father, teacher, and investigator, he undoubtedly did his best in all aspects.
He would not feel dissatisfied with such a person.
“Go away, go away. Anyway, nothing good ever happens when you come here.”
Uncle Furukawa waved his hand impatiently.
“I’m going to go back and report to Sanae first. I won’t disturb you from opening the shop.”
“Hey…wait a minute.”
Aoba stopped Koga from leaving and took out the freshly made oden from the kitchen.
“This is the oden I brought for Sanae-san. Uncle Furukawa, please don’t eat it secretly!”
“Who would eat something like this?”
“Who would eat something like that?”
Uncle Furukawa’s voice and someone else’s voice rang out one after another.
The two of them were stunned and looked towards the store.
Only on the stairs.
A blonde girl was standing there, looking at the steaming oden in Uncle Furukawa’s hand.
“?”
moment.
Three pairs of eyes looked straight at Qingye.
“Ahem!”
Uncle Furukawa coughed twice and patted Aoba’s shoulder in grief.
“Qingye, a man should be loyal!”
Finished.
He ran away without looking back.
“Mr. Manager is in such a good mood!”
When Aoba returned to the store, he was immediately confronted by a resentful girl.
“He’s been attacked, yet he still brings a woman home…”
“No, let me explain…”
Kasumigaoka Utaha raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and her eyes suddenly dimmed.
“That’s right. After all, I’m just Kasumigaoka-san.”
“How can anyone compare to this beautiful girl with big blond hair?”
Then she looked at Qingye with resentment, as if she had been abandoned by a man.
“That’s enough.”
It was the familiar knife hand again.
Aoba stood in the store and looked at the somewhat arrogant girl without any courtesy.
“You too, rest up and go home directly.”
“snort!”
The girl raised her nose, her eyes full of confidence.
He walked to Qingye’s side.
“It’s clearly just a common dish, yet you’re telling people not to eat it secretly.”
“Since you… helped me, I’ll reluctantly taste it.”
She has always been serious about cooking, and she is also arrogant by nature.
It is not surprising to hear such words.
“Tsk, where’s the young lady?”
Kasumigaoka clicked her tongue, the sarcasm in her words clearly evident.
The girl clearly wanted to argue with him.
But the next moment.
Coo~
An inopportune sound made the three of them stunned.
“Hahaha, Miss didn’t even eat?”
“Okay, sit down nicely.”
Before the blonde girl could say anything, Aoba walked up to the two of them with two servings of oden.
“Please enjoy your meal.”
“Manager, I didn’t order oden?”
“It’s for you.”
“Hehe, the store manager really prefers my type, right?”

Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 5 It turns out to be the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family! Super taste?!
District 20, Anding District.
“Mado-senpai, is that boy really related to ‘Okumi’?”
As Kotaro Amon was about to leave District 20, he couldn’t help but ask the doubts in his heart.
As a top investigator of CCG, Mado-senpai would never do anything without a purpose.
Moreover, he had already witnessed the other party’s terrifying intuition when investigating the “Apple Head” incident.
It’s like a walking ‘ghoul identification machine’.
“Amon-kun, as a mature investigator, you must use your own judgment.”
“What kind of person do you think Aoba-kun is?”
Mado Wuxu hunched over, staring at the crowd in District 20 chatting freely late at night, unable to recover for a long time.
“Mr. Manager? He seems to be very popular and good-looking…”
Kotaro Amon recalls and ponders his discoveries about Aoba.
Apart from Qingye’s handsome but somewhat unfair appearance, what surprised him the most was…
It is the final struggle between Aoba and Mado Wuxiong!
“Did you find it?”
Mado Wuxu turned around and looked at Amon Kotaro, and smiled sinisterly: “Aoba-kun is very handsome!”
“Huh?! Is looking good also a clue?”
“Of course!” Mado Wuxu stared at the peaceful area that looked like a ‘city that never sleeps’ in a trance. “Ghouls, besides the disgusting desire to eat people, have other desires too.”
“Remember the teeth marks on Aoba-kun’s body?”
“Being able to overcome the urge to eat humans and still having the energy to vent one’s own desires…”
“That guy has a sufficient source of food and is confident in his own strength!”
“Besides, if that guy didn’t eat Mr. Aoba, he would definitely think of coming back again.”
Mado Wuxu explained calmly.
And the stable area is not a place for people like them to stay.
Naturally, it would not be an area where ghouls could enter and exit freely.
Listening to Mado Wuxu’s explanation.
Kotaro Amon also reacted instantly.
I never expected that Mado Wuxu could find clues about “Okuro” just by looking at a few tooth marks!
As expected, he is a top-notch investigator.
“I see. But why did Oku come to the Anding District? The Inspection Office…”
Kotaro Amon was still very confused.
“That’s not what we should be thinking about, Amon-kun.”
“Report the results of this investigation, and someone will naturally investigate.”
Mado Wuxu withdrew his gaze and his expression became more serious.
He wasn’t trying to avoid the issue.
Some things don’t weigh even a few ounces if they are not weighed, but they weigh even a thousand pounds if they are weighed!
“clear!”
Upon hearing this, Kotaro Amon nodded seriously.
“But speaking of which, you have to work harder too.”
“If Aoba-kun really joins CCG, with his strength, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes a Special Investigator.”
“It’s very likely that he will be the next Arima.”
–
“I’m starting!”
Inside the izakaya, a simple bowl of oden was placed in front of the blonde girl.
The broth is made with kelp and bonito flakes, and other common ingredients such as white radish and bamboo fungus are added.
Serve with miso or mustard.
It is one of the most famous dishes in the country and also one of the most common.
Basically everyone can do it, but it is difficult to do it to the extreme.
In the plain white porcelain bowl, the clear soup reflected her furrowed brows.
Looking at the bowl of soup that looked like clear water, the blonde girl frowned slightly.
It is clearly a broth with an extremely high umami flavor, but why does it look like there is no fat at all?
The white radish inside has an amazing elasticity when you pinch it with chopsticks!
The sweet smell that entered the girl’s nose made her subconsciously pick up a portion and put it in her mouth.
“Hmm!”
The soft hum that escaped from her throat made her freeze instantly.
The perfect stewing time gives the white radish a crispy and sweet texture.
The hint of sweetness permeates every part of the body unconsciously.
Sweetness is the first beauty that humans feel.
When people encounter misfortune, their mood will involuntarily improve after eating candy.
This is a memory engraved in human genes.
The girl closed her eyes unconsciously.
In a trance, she seemed to feel that she was wandering in a sea of ​​delicious broth.
“Hello!”
In her blurred consciousness, the girl seemed to hear a familiar voice calling her.
Oh, it’s delicious, Mr. Manager…
Um!?
She realized something was wrong!
When she came to her senses, she realized that the other two people in the shop were looking at her!
The feeling of shame exploded instantly!!
“Shall I get you some water?”
Aoba stood behind the bar, looking at the girl’s flushed face.
I almost thought I had put drugs in the oden.
“Tsk tsk, it seems that the young lady has never eaten anything good!”
Seeing her like this, Kasumigaoka, who was standing next to her, also laughed at her sarcastically.
However, the girl obviously didn’t hear it at this moment.
Just responded blankly.
Then he looked at Aoba’s back and calmed down after experiencing shame.
He stared blankly at the oden placed in front of him.
As the owner of the Divine Tongue, her desire for delicious food is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
“It’s obviously…it’s just such a simple oden…why is it…”
Erina muttered to herself.
Those arrogant eyes finally opened up.
“May I have your name?”
When Qingye returned to the kitchen to pour water, he heard a question in a somewhat strange tone.
Look back.
The blonde girl looks like an elf under the warm yellow light.
The lights in the store have an illusion of brightness.
“Aoba.”
Qingye said his name in surprise.
Could it be that this girl’s brain was frightened by Kamishiro Rize?
Why are you staring at him like that?
“My name is Erina Nakiri, Manager Aoba, I…will remember you!”
Erina took a deep breath.
Her heart was in turmoil at this moment.
She excluded all the famous chefs in her mind one by one.
That is to say.
The man in front of her was about the same age as her, but his fame as a chef had never been known to anyone!
This made her even more shocked and indignant!
Why would a chef like this open a shop in a place like this?!
Why not go to Totsuki!?
With such strength, are you willing to degenerate in a place like this?!
It really makes me angry!
“Nakiri…”
Hearing this surname and the girl’s reaction as if she had taken X drugs.
Qingye also remembered it instantly.
I couldn’t help but be surprised at who Kamishiro Rize was hunting.
That woman is really brave!
Not to mention that the Inspection Office headquarters is in District 20, the people from the Gourmet Association alone are difficult to deal with.
Seeing Qingye was stunned for a second or two.
Erina Nakiri’s strange train of thought seemed to have just come to light.
“Ah?! Um… I’m not…”
“Anyway, thank you very much for saving my life, and…”
“Come with me!”
If she wins, she will definitely let Manager Aoba go to Totsuki for further studies!!
Such a talented chef should not be buried in a place like this!!!
The gilded pupils ignited a scorching light.
At this moment, she is no longer the high and mighty gourmet queen, but a hunter awakened by primitive appetite.
“Ala, Mr. Manager is so lucky!”
Kasumigaoka rested his chin on his hand and looked at Erina Nakiri and Aoba with a playful look.
“This is the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family who has personally requested you. If it were me, I would probably agree immediately and propose marriage at the same time…”
Aoba helplessly put away his hand knife and turned to look at Erina Nakiri.
“Sorry, I’m very happy living here. If you want to eat again, you are welcome anytime.”
As an ordinary person in District 20.
He understands very well what it means to be content with what you have.
A place like Totsuki Academy is not suitable for him.
“But with a talent like yours…”
Erina Nakiri is still thinking about recruiting.
But looking at Qingye’s calm and gentle smile.
Just like behind the ordinary ingredients of oden, there is a surge of delicious flavor.
Cuisine is the product of the chef’s own philosophy!
He won’t be easily shaken!!
At least Erina Nakiri understood that she did not have the ability to shake the store manager at the moment.
“I see.”
Erina, as if she saw through everything, sat down again and tasted the mediocre bowl of oden.
But in my heart, I began to think about Kasumigaoka’s suggestion just now.
“If I propose to the store manager…”
If grandpa knew about his cooking talent, he would definitely agree!
It just means that the store manager will marry into my family.
“Nakiri… Aoba…”
Hey~hehe~!
Looking at Erina Nakiri who was lost in her own fantasy, Aoba shook his head helplessly.
What is going on?
Why are they all clinging to him?
“Aoba-kun, you like life here. Is it because of me, a little bit?”
When Kasumigaoka, who was standing by, heard Aoba’s answer, the corners of his mouth curved up beautifully, and he stared at Aoba blankly.
“Ah, yes, yes, after all, Kasumigaoka-san is the first customer to come to my shop!”
Aoba walked up to her with fried chicken and oolong tea.
“Hehehe, as expected… Aoba-kun is still so soft-hearted.”
Kasumigaoka gave a silly smile.
“There’s no one in the shop anyway, Aoba-kun, why don’t you have a drink with me?”
“Besides, it’s not alcohol, so just consider it a celebration!”
Aoba looked at Kasumigaoka’s watery eyes and nodded helplessly.
“All right.”
“Thank you, kind and enlightened Aoba-kun!”
The girl said to Aoba with a mischievous and teasing expression.
Gulp~
“Ha! Delicious!”
“By the way, Qingye-kun, it seems like you’re still cooking something in the kitchen. It smells so good!”
Halfway through drinking, Kasumigaoka suddenly looked towards the kitchen and sniffed.
“Hmm? I made some hot beer. Want some?”
“May I?”
“Of course, you are a guest after all!”
Aoba returned to the kitchen with a smile, but did not see Kasumigaoka’s triumphant smile in the hall.
【Literary Girls Interacting…】
[Awakening Skill ‘Shorthand’]“Hmm? What are you drinking?”
Nakiri Erina, with a rosy face, finally broke free from her fantasy and cooking.
Looking at Kasumigaoka holding the cup and smiling foolishly.
She was not fully awake yet so she reached out and took the cup.
“Hey, you…”
Gulp gulp~~
[God’s Tongue Interaction…][Awakening Skill ‘Super Taste’]Qingye, who was holding a wooden spoon, suddenly froze.
Those two guys…
What the hell are you doing?!
Chapter 6: Belated Guests! Fenghua and Yayu! (Old Version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a brothel?: Chapter 6: Late Guests! Fenghua, Yayu! Illustrations and Text
“You two, stop it!”
Bang!!
Two dull knocking sounds were heard.
The izakaya finally felt peaceful after a long absence.
“Can’t you just eat well?”
Qingye took back the teacup that the two men were fighting over and knocked on their heads in annoyance.
“Woo~”
“Aoba-kun is really too much…”
Kasumigaoka covered her head with her hands, her eyes red, and looked at Aoba pitifully.
Like a bullied kitten.
Aoba remained unmoved. He knocked on the wooden table in front of Erina Nakiri and said in a deep voice, “Ms. Nakiri, are you sure you don’t want to contact your family?”
“Ah?! Oh…”
Nakiri Erina straightened her back and nodded slightly: “Thank you for your concern, someone from Totsuki will come to pick me up.”
“That’s good. Have a good rest when you get back.”
Qingye said this and went back to the kitchen again.
The illusory panel appeared again in front of me.
【Guests: Rize Kamishiro (30), Erina Nakiri (1), Utaha Kasumigaoka (10)】
[Skills: Gluttony (lv3), Cooking (lv3), Shorthand (lv1), Super Taste (lv1)]“Is it because of the interaction of body fluids?”
Qingye’s complaints about this golden finger were really brainless.
However, the two extra skills are very useful to him.
[Shorthand (lv1): Ability to quickly memorize large amounts of information][Super Taste (lv1): Able to distinguish the taste of food and make subtle improvements]Shorthand allows him to quickly write down the needs of each customer when the izakaya is crowded.
Not to mention his super sense of taste, which is like a divine help to his cooking skills which have already reached level 3.
only……
Both of these skills are related to Erina Nakiri and Utaha Kasumigaoka.
Could this be the correct way to use the golden finger?
Qingye thought of some terrible scenarios in the future and shook his head quickly.
Anyway, he is just an ordinary izakaya manager.
I guess no one will miss me.
“Is the manager here?”
“Yes, welcome.”
A hoarse voice came from outside the door.
Aoba brought two cups of hot beer from the kitchen and placed them in front of Kasumigaoka and Erina.
The two girls also knew that the store manager was about to start business, so they did not make any more noise to disturb him.
After all, if you can’t see the situation clearly, you will be hated by others.
Wait until he pushed open the wooden door.
Outside the door.
The two guests who were waiting quietly looked at Aoba at the same time.
“Welcome, both of you.”
“Excuse me.”
The woman on the left is wearing a gray windbreaker and a tight black inner wear, which makes her look particularly energetic.
At the same time, a standard sword was hung around his waist.
After scanning Aoba with his sharp eyes, he observed the izakaya behind him.
The expression was a little disgusted.
“Is this the izakaya you were talking about? It doesn’t look like anything special.”
“Hahaha, it doesn’t look like much, but the food and wine are really good!”
The beauty on the right is dressed similarly.
But the same uniform looked different on her.
A little lazy.
Coupled with the huge rise and fall of the chest and the slight curl of the lips, people can’t help but feel good about it.
“Mr. Manager, do you remember me?”
The beauty’s movements were so vigorous that Qingye had to step back to avoid being touched.
“Welcome, Miss Fenghua, and this…”
“Crow Feather.”
The tall, silver-gray woman on the left walked into the izakaya without looking around.
“Hey, leave her alone.”
“Mr. Manager, we need to purchase some food and drinks. The quantity may be a bit large, and… the requirements may be a bit too much.”
Qingye nodded and smiled: “Don’t worry, I will do my best.”
“Haha, I knew you, Mr. Manager, are reliable!”
Fenghua grinned widely.
Follow Aoba into the izakaya.
At this moment, Yayu was already looking around the store.
He also glanced at Erina and Kasumigaoka.
That materialized cold gaze made both of them tremble for no reason.
“Is this all on your menu?”
Crow Feather pointed to the menu hanging on the wall.
That scrutinizing gaze was full of disdain.
It is probably a lucky chance that a small shop like this can make drinks that satisfy Fenghua.
“Have one portion at your leisure.”
Although Yayu felt a little impatient with this place, since it was a place recommended by Fenghua…
Then she could be a little more patient.
However, if the following dishes fail to satisfy her, don’t blame her for being ruthless!
Things without value have no reason to exist in this world!
Qingye nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Fenghua who was sitting down casually.
“Miss Fenghua, what would you like to eat?”
The boy’s voice was as gentle as jade, calm and peaceful with a gentleness like the spring sunshine.
If you are not in the punishment team in the future, it would be nice to come to the store manager’s place!
At least there’s plenty of wine, and the store manager… is also very pleasing to the eye.
Fenghua stared at Qingye blankly and said with a smile: “Is there any hidden menu today?”
“Emm…Do you need hot beer?”
“Hot beer? Looks like I’m really lucky today! I’ll also have a braised food platter!”
Qingye was stunned when he heard the order, and said with some embarrassment:
“Sorry, due to some matters, the braised food platter cannot be provided today.”
“Is that so? Then just order as much as you like.”
Fenghua didn’t think much about it and just chose to go with the flow.
“Well, please wait a moment.”
After writing down the meals the two wanted to eat, Qingye went into the kitchen.
The izakaya’s kitchen and front hall are separated by only a short curtain.
Sitting at the bar, you can look up and see the boss busy in the kitchen.
This design will make the whole restaurant more cozy.
Looking at the young man busying around inside, Yayu was full of doubts.
She glanced at the two harmless girls beside her, then turned her gaze back to Fenghua.
“Fenghua, are you sure this store is reliable?”
That cold and beautiful face was full of suspicion.
Fenghua smiled when she heard what Yayu said.
“Don’t worry, the food here will definitely not disappoint you.”
She pointed in the direction of Erina next to her and said:
“Even the eldest daughter of the Totsuki Group is here, what are you worried about?”
Totsuki Group?!
The granddaughter of the Food Demon King?
God’s tongue? ?
Upon hearing this, Yayu’s gaze shifted instantly.
I saw Erina Nakiri next to me looking at the bowl of oden solemnly, her pretty face full of confusion, bewilderment, anger and shyness.
That’s definitely not a normal expression!
“Yesterday afternoon, the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family disappeared after visiting the Shinomiya family’s restaurant. The demon king almost caused a disturbance at the Inspection Office headquarters.”
Fenghua turned her smiling gaze towards Qingye in the kitchen.
If she hadn’t come here by chance after smelling alcohol, she would never have believed that this handsome boy in front of her could actually make such top-notch food!
“However, since it’s related to the Nakiri family, it seems that I won’t have the chance to eat it in the future.”
After saying this, Fenghua sighed inwardly with self-pity.
They are wagtails born to love.
As long as you meet someone who makes your heart beat, you will eventually be able to transcend into eternity one day.
It’s a pity that although the store manager is very beautiful, he still doesn’t have the urge to let her transform into a feather…
Chapter 7 Wagtail is ready to make a move! Is he your Wei Ya? A wealthy man! (Old version)
Zongman: This is a pub, you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 7: Wagtail Pattern is ready to make a move! Is he your Wei Ya? A wealthy man!
Not long.
In front of Fenghua was a plate of golden fried cheese.
Milk is wrapped in corn starch and solidified into a square cake, rolled in egg liquid and breadcrumbs, and turned into amber clouds in the oil waves.
Dip it in special condensed milk when eating.
It is also a relatively novel way to eat milk.
Although the method is simple, it is still difficult to make every piece taste the same.
Fenghua took a deep breath.
It’s like they’re preparing for a big war.
Then she picked up a piece of golden fried milk with a serious expression and dipped it in the condensed milk on the side.
When he put the fresh milk into his mouth, his solemn expression instantly became extremely relaxed.
“Emm~~~”
“The store manager’s skills have improved again.”
Then he picked up the hot beer and took a big sip!
“Gulp… Ha!”
“Cool!!!”
The sweetness of fried milk and the slightly astringent taste of hot beer intertwine in your mouth.
A strong feeling constantly hits the taste buds.
Weak streams of air began to flow from her body, and only stopped when they blew up the strands of hair on Qingye’s forehead.
“Mr. Manager, if I don’t work anymore, can I come to your place?”
Fenghua looked at Qingye with a fragrant breath, and the blush on her face made her laziness more obvious.
“Of course, Miss Fenghua, you are always welcome to come.”
Aoba smiled and nodded.
Although Miss Fenghua looks unreliable, she has never had any improper thoughts about him since she visited the izakaya.
Um……
Not affected by the Succubus attribute.
She is a very reliable mature woman!
Yayu, who was standing by, was even more surprised when he saw that Fenghua couldn’t even control her abilities.
No wonder Fenghua recommends this store so much.
“But even so, it’s just an ordinary dish.”
Yayu turned his gaze to the thick omelette in front of him.
It is one of the simplest ways to prepare eggs in Japanese cuisine.
But it is very popular with the public.
The soft and sticky eggs have a hint of sweetness from the sugar.
This is a sweet dish that is irresistible.
The thick omelette in front of Yayu was cut open.
It was supposed to be a rectangular egg-shaped piece.
But now it is divided into four square shapes.
It’s like a small and exquisitely folded quilt.
“Useless styling…”
Yayu made a ‘tsk’ sound, but the sweet taste made her look forward to it.
Without hesitation, he picked up a portion and put it in his mouth.
The soft and glutinous egg fragrance has broken out wrapped in memories.
It seemed to remind her of the memories of the battle on Songtian long ago!
A strong murderous aura erupted instantly! !
The long silver-white hair moved without wind, and the windbreaker on her body rustled.
“This… Is Miss Crow Feather okay?”
Qingye looked at Fenghua with some distress.
Although I know that the two people are not ordinary humans, isn’t this commotion too big?
Even Erina wasn’t that serious.
“I don’t think so…”
Fenghua drank the beer in big gulps, letting the wine stains from the corners of his mouth flow down the ravine.
He said he didn’t care.
But his eyes were fixed on Yayu’s movements.
As Crow Feather raised his slender neck, revealing his body wrapped in a black tights, Fenghua finally couldn’t sit still anymore.
The drunken eyes suddenly turned into shock!
“How could it be?!”
“Even the wagtail pattern has appeared?!”
Fenghua turned her gaze to Qingye in surprise, and then her eyes became extremely complicated.
It was obviously she who found this place first and got to know the store manager first!
Why would it be Crow Feather’s…Wei Ya.
“I… this is?”
Yayu seemed to realize something and tried hard to control his strength.
He opened his sharp eyes, but his gaze was attracted by Qingye.
“Feathering…?”
“I will never allow this kind of man to…!”
When that figure came into view, Yayu’s heartbeat seemed out of control, and the wagtail instinct was stirring deep within him!
“I won’t, absolutely not…!”
“choke–!”
The sword was unsheathed with a clang!
When the knife light reflected the wagtail pattern faintly visible on her neck, a warm palm suddenly covered the knuckles of her hand holding the blade.
“Ms. Crow Feather!”
The rapid shouting woke the wagtail.
“I……”
Yayu looked at those eyes as bright as the moon and stopped moving instantly.
An indescribable urge made her very uncomfortable.
He didn’t even seem to feel the warmth coming from his hand holding the knife.
Qingye grabbed Yayu’s right hand that was holding the knife, looked at Yayu with calm eyes, and said gently: “Are you feeling better?”
Yayu was mesmerized by the gaze of those eyes.
It was not until she heard Fenghua’s teasing that she reacted and shook off Qingye’s hand with a slightly blushing face.
“Ms. Crow Feather, please enjoy your meal.”
Seeing that Yayu had completely calmed down, Qingye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If you disagree with me, you will commit suicide…
Why do I meet such weird people today?
“Manager…”
Yayu tightened his grip on the knife and pursed his lips: “…It’s delicious.”
Hearing this.
A bright smile appeared on the boy’s face.
“Thank you for the compliment!”
“Um……”
This expression undoubtedly made Crow Feather’s wagtail pattern start to stir again.
But at this moment, she sheathed her sword.
The soft warmth in her hands seemed to linger, allowing her to control her emotions.
“Crow Feather, congratulations!”
Fenghua drank beer and looked at Yayu with his eyes blurred again.
She was very envious.
Once the wagtail finds its own reed tooth, it means that its long life has finally found a home.
I just didn’t expect that among their punishment team, it would be Crow Feather who found Weiya first.
I originally thought it was Song, the guy with the good brain.
If it really doesn’t work, Captain Meizai can accept it.
At worst, she can do it!
Why would it be Yayu, a guy who has no body and is violent?
Fate is so wonderful!
“Hello? Is this Song?”
“We’re at the izakaya. We’ll take whatever you want to eat back.”
“ah……”
After Fenghua and Yayu finished their food, Fenghua called Song in advance.
There was immediately a lot of noise coming from the other end of the phone.
“Speak one by one!”
Hearing the noise, Yayu couldn’t help but yell into the phone.
All eyes in the store were focused on her.
Even Qingye lifted the curtain from the back kitchen and looked at him.
“Well, let them speak one by one…”
Yayu’s momentum weakened for no reason, and he directly threw the phone to Fenghua.
“Hiss! Was that Crow Feather just now? Did she have relatives over? Why is she so irritable?”
“Song! I’ll have a good chat with you when we get back later.”
Halfway through the journey, Yayu looked at the phone with a gloomy look.
“Ah!! Sister Meizai, save me!”
“Stop making trouble and don’t disturb the store manager from working.”
“What do you want to eat?”
A mature voice like that of a Yamato Nadeshiko took over the situation directly.
“I want chazuke! But it needs to be… barley tea, and I want some bonito flakes!”
“Fried chicken nuggets! Explosively spicy!”
“…”
“Fukahana, please bring me some fried tempura.”
The dishes and requirements were spoken one by one over the phone.
Qingye still stood there.
After the last of the tempura was finished, he looked at Fenghua with a smile:
“Ms. Fenghua, is that all?”
“Well, sorry, they have too many requests. It doesn’t matter if I can’t finish it. Just make something and I’ll take it back.”
Aoba shook his head and made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves.
“Nothing. As a chef, satisfying the guests’ needs is a basic job. Leave it to me!”
This is a huge order!
He won’t give up.
If you can satisfy the other party, they may order food here for a long time in the future.
Their demands must be met.
“Ah?! Did you remember everything just now?”
Fenghua frowned.
With so many dishes and requirements, can the manager remember them all without writing them down?
It can’t be that I’m just doing it casually and trying to get away with it later.
“Please wait…”
Qingye didn’t explain much.
Back to the kitchen and start firing on all cylinders!
Half an hour later.
“Ms. Fenghua, all the food has been packed.”
“Each one has a name and requirements marked on it.”
“Also, this is a snack platter specially given to you and Miss Crow Feather as a thank you for coming.”
When the specially made food box was handed out, Fenghua stared at the words “less sugar” and “medium-rare” neatly written on the label.
For a moment, he was stunned in front of the wooden table.
this……
Is the store manager really that smart?
It feels almost as good as pine!!
“Manager, how much is it in total?”
Yayu also spoke after a brief silence.
“Thank you for your patronage. The total is 48,000 yen!”
After Qingye listed the prices of the dishes one by one, he looked at Yayu with a smile.
Keep the change, please.
Yayu was still a little sensitive to Qingye’s gaze, and directly took out a stack of Japanese yen, each with a face value of 10,000.
This stack would probably be worth at least 100,000 yen, conservatively estimated.
but.
Since the other party was so generous, he would not refuse it.
After all, the reward for just one order is enough to cover the daily expenses of the small shop for a week.
Chapter 8 Nakiri Senzaemon: Thank you very much! Erina’s transformation! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 8 Nakiri Senzaemon: Thank you very much! Erina’s change! Picture and text
After Fenghua and Yayu left, there were three people left in the shop again.
As the store manager, Aoba cleaned the tables and the store in a short time.
But he felt helpless when he saw Kasumigaoka, who was drunk and sleeping on the table.
Even he didn’t expect that Kasumigaoka would be so drunk after drinking one glass of beer.
Obviously, you can drink a cup of traditional soju.
Qingye sighed helplessly.
He took a piece of clothing and gently covered her body.
“Really? Can’t girls be a little more defensive?”
Time moves towards late night.
Kasumigaoka was still sleeping.
Aoba sat against the door frame between the kitchen and the front desk.
On the left is Erina Nakiri, who is still thinking hard through the Tongue of God.
Can we only say that she is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family?
Even if he possesses the divine tongue, a talent that other chefs envy.
But her efforts to become a top chef cannot be ignored.
People who pursue their dreams are worthy of admiration no matter where they are in the world.
Looking at Erina Nakiri still thinking hard while looking at the oden.
Qingye couldn’t help but smile and said softly:
“The soup base of oden is made by stewing chicken bones, old duck, ham, and scallops.”
After hearing the store manager’s explanation, Erina quickly looked up and asked in confusion:
“But when these ingredients are stewed, a lot of fat will be released.”
“That’s because I added minced chicken.”
Qingye went forward and got another bowl of oden soup base from the kitchen.
“Would you like to try it again?”
Erina took the soup and took a sip.
The rich umami flavor rushes straight to the top of your head!
“this……”
Erina’s gilded eyes trembled.
“By simmering, the flavor of the ingredients is fully absorbed into the broth. The minced chicken… is it because the minced chicken absorbs the fat?!”
Aoba’s casual reminder.
With her divine tongue and years of experience as a chef, she reacted immediately!
Her pretty face flushed as she looked at Qingye in surprise.
It’s like a child who finds the answer and is eager to confirm it with the teacher.
“Yes, this soup base is made by repeatedly absorbing the chicken puree and then scooping it out.”
Qingye nodded calmly.
He learned this technique from a state banquet chef in his previous life.
Now that it can flourish in another world, it can be regarded as a way to prevent the pearl from being covered in dust.
“I see……”
Erina Nakiri nodded suddenly.
If Qingye hadn’t reminded her, she probably wouldn’t have figured it out for years.
Although he possesses the divine tongue, there is still a huge gap between distinguishing food and replicating food.
Especially this kind of ultimate cuisine that is achieved purely through skill.
With Erina’s current ability of the Divine Tongue, she can only taste the ultimate umami and a few ingredients at most.
Other additions, such as adding minced chicken, are completely undetectable.
“Mr. Manager, leave this skill to me…”
Erina, who had figured everything out, stood up and looked at Aoba, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Techniques like this are definitely considered heirloom recipes in today’s culinary world.
But Qingye taught her so simply?
They hadn’t even known each other for a day!
Aoba also understood what Erina meant.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Teaching the apprentice and starving the master to death is a common occurrence even in this world.
But for Qingye, he didn’t care.
After all, the cooking method itself has nothing to do with the pots and pans.
The techniques are nothing more than switching between frying, cooking, steaming, stir-frying, boiling and stewing.
“It’s never the so-called technique or recipe that determines the taste of a dish…”
Aoba’s eyes like waves looked at Erina.
“It’s people.”
“One vegetable feeds a hundred kinds of people.”
“Everyone has a different understanding of cooking, which is why there are so many techniques and schools of cooking today.”
“So, it’s always people who determine cooking techniques, not techniques that limit people.”
Perhaps it was because he saw in Erina Nakiri the shadow of his own cooking days.
The kind of almost obsessive effort to improve culinary skills.
This made Aoba, who rarely expressed his opinions, say a lot.
“…people determine the techniques, but techniques…do not limit people…”
Erina’s golden eyes suddenly brightened.
The whole person seemed to become more dazzling under the bright yellow light.
“Well, or to put it another way.”
Aoba looked at Erina’s increasingly bright eyes and smiled:
“If someone else also mastered the method of making this kind of broth, do you think his or hers would taste the same as mine?”
“Recipes and techniques are just the minimum for cooking. You can’t go wrong by following a recipe, but if you want to achieve a higher level of taste, recipes will only limit the chef’s creativity.”
The words fell.
Erina seemed to see an unparalleled confidence in Aoba!
The kind of strong confidence that allows one to remain calm and composed even when standing alone in front of millions of people! !
Erina took a deep breath, took a step back, and bowed ninety degrees to Aoba.
The pride of the Totsuki Ten Heroes, the arrogance of the Divine Tongue, and the pride of the Nakiri family seemed to disappear at this moment.
“Mr. Manager, thank you for your guidance.”
Aoba raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Erina with admiration and shook his head:
“It’s just a conversation between chefs, not really guidance…”
Although it’s not a big deal.
But I see younger generations emerging who can inherit my ideas.
Qingye also felt a little relieved.
The sect’s elders looked at the declining sect and were relieved that a young genius had finally appeared.
And Erina Nakiri stood up in front of him, her face slightly red.
There is a kind of excitement as if the martial arts were passed down by the sect’s ancestors.
“Mr. Manager, can I make a dish?”
“random.”
Qingye gave up his seat and leaned against the door curtain, calm and indifferent.
“Thank you very much.”
Erina entered the kitchen with a serious expression.
Carrying the name of the Nakiri family, she stood in the kitchen like a general on the battlefield.
She tied her long blonde hair into a ponytail, revealing her fair shoulders and slender neck.
Her slender hands were as pure as white jade under the flowing water.
Although the ingredients in the izakaya are limited.
But how to combine limited ingredients is also a test for the chef.
“And eggs…”
Erina frowned slightly as she looked at the small kitchen with limited facilities.
After all, this was her first time cooking in such a simple environment.
But as a chef, she quickly immersed herself in it.
“Are you making soufflé eggs?”
Aoba watched Erina’s smooth movements and had the answer in his mind.
In a kitchen with limited conditions, you can find ingredients you are familiar with and prepare them cleanly and efficiently.
In this respect alone, Erina surpasses most of her peers.
However, soufflé eggs are considered a difficult dessert to make.
The challenge of this classic French dessert lies in its fluffy structure.
And maintain the shape after it is made.
“Whispering egg whites at low temperature and controlling the oven temperature are both of paramount importance.”
Aoba muttered as he watched Erina’s movements.
If the temperature of this dessert is not controlled properly, it will be a complete failure.
Seeing that Erina didn’t do anything unnecessary, Aoba smiled without saying anything.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
“Erina!!!”
A tall old man pushed open the wooden door while panting.
Behind.
There was also a girl about the same age as Erina Nakiri following him.
“Lady Erina!!”
Chapter 9: Rapidly improving cooking skills! Invitation from Totsuki Academy! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 9: Rapidly improving cooking skills! Invitation from Totsuki Academy! Illustrations and text
Aoba frowned when he heard the sound of the wooden door being violently pushed open.
He looked at Kasumigaoka who was sleeping soundly next to him, and seeing that she was not woken up, he shifted his gaze to the two people who broke in.
“Please keep quiet in this small shop.”
Qingye was not polite at all.
Even if you are facing the food-eating devil that you often see in the news.
Nakiri Senzaemon, with his silver hair and majestic like a lion, glanced around the store.
Then he calmed his breath and said solemnly:
“Mr. Manager, I’m sorry.”
“I wonder what Erina is like now…”
Qingye pulled open the curtain covering the back kitchen, his eyes gentle: “She’s fine, sit down and wait.”
Through the curtain, Nakiri Senzaemon saw Nakiri Erina, who the entire Totsuki Group was worried about.
There were no external injuries, and the cooking movements were very skillful, and it did not look like he had been abused.
“Huh~!”
Nakiri Senzaemon finally breathed a sigh of relief and regained his majesty as the Food Demon King.
“Lady Erina!”
The pink-haired little follower next to him saw it and couldn’t help but shout out.
“Hmm? Ah!”
Putting the prepared egg liquid into the preheated oven, Erina looked back as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Seeing that Grandpa and Feishazi had come over, he was surprised.
“Erina-sama! You…you’re okay! I’m so glad!!!”
Hisako walked through the front hall and went straight to the back kitchen, hugging Erina and crying with joy.
The tears and sobbing sounds made Erina a little overwhelmed.
The whole shop was filled with Feishazi’s sobs.
“Mr. Manager, I’m so sorry.”
Seeing this scene, Nakiri Senzaemon’s majestic face showed kindness, and he couldn’t help but look at Aoba beside him.
“I’ve caused you too much trouble.”
Qingye shook his head and looked directly at the devil of food: “It’s nothing, caring too much will lead to confusion.”
Then he looked at the two girls hugging each other and said, “Erina has a good friend!”
Nakiri Senzaemon listened to Aoba’s sigh, but his heart was full of doubts about Aoba.
He must understand his granddaughter’s personality.
Not to mention being extremely arrogant, but certainly quite stubborn.
Coupled with that guy’s wrong training of Erina, Erina gradually became willful and conceited.
Even any food that does not meet the standards of high-class people is rejected!
But now…
Nakiri Senzaemon had been observing this small shop and the mature manager since he came in.
I don’t know why, but I always feel a sense of disobedience.
And Erina actually cooks in this kind of izakaya that can be found everywhere on the street?!
If only I could see Erina’s familiar techniques and cooking skills.
Senzaemon even wondered if the person in there was his granddaughter.
“Ding Dong~!”
The oven bell rang.
Erina was suddenly awakened and knocked on Hisako who was holding her tightly for no reason.
“It’s all your fault. I forgot I was cooking.”
“Cooking!?”
Only then did Xinhu Hisako come to his senses.
I began to look around this kitchen which was less than ten square meters, and the more I looked at it, the more incredible it seemed to me.
With his mouth wide open, he stammered, “Erina-sama, you’re cooking in a place like this!?”
Is Lady Erina possessed by a monster?!
You should know that in Totsuki Academy, Lady Erina owns several dedicated cooking buildings!
How can you cook in such a shabby place?
“What’s wrong with a place like this?”
Erina took out the prepared soufflé eggs wearing heat-insulating gloves.
Then, facing Feishazi’s gaze as if he was looking at a monster, her fair face turned a little red.
“Don’t underestimate this store, and don’t underestimate the store manager!”
Said.
He placed the soufflé egg on the wooden table and said confidently to Qingye, “Mr. Manager, please enjoy!”
“Erina…”
Senzaemon, who was standing by, was surprised to see that Erina actually gave the dish to Aoba to taste. He felt annoyed as if his cabbage was eaten by a pig.
“Grandpa, please help me taste it too.”
Erina gave one of them to Senzaemon.
Senzaemon looked at the soft soufflé egg in front of him and his expression suddenly became serious.
The devil of food never shows mercy to food.
I cut a piece with a spoon and put it in my mouth, and my serious expression instantly became extremely relaxed.
Under Erina’s surprised gaze, Senzaemon’s upper body clothes kept fluttering! !
It seems like it will explode at any moment!!!
Even though his clothes didn’t get torn, Senzaemon’s expression had never been so serious.
Erina was missing for only nine hours.
How could cooking skills have improved so much?
“Erina-sama! Your cooking skills have improved again!!!”
Hisako looked at Erina in shock.
I am extremely convinced in my heart.
“Mr. Manager?”
Erina, who was very satisfied with the improvement of her cooking skills, looked at Aoba with strong confidence in her golden eyes.
It’s like a child asking for praise from an adult.
“Hmm~”
Aoba ate a piece of soufflé with a smile as Erina expected him to.
Soft and fluffy, the cloud-like texture blooms on the tip of your tongue.
The sweetness of the egg aroma makes people feel good, and then there is a lingering lemon scent.
Aoba looked at Erina in surprise: “You added lemon powder?”
“Um?!”
Erina, who was expecting praise, looked quite surprised when she heard Aoba’s question.
“Mr. Manager, can you taste it?!”
“Mm, adding fruity notes to the egg aroma makes the overall flavor more prominent. It’s great!”
Aoba nodded.
The enhancement of his super taste skills allowed him to taste details he had never noticed before.
In other words, Qingye’s cooking skills, with the help of his super taste, have successfully entered the inhuman realm!
After hearing Qingye’s comments, Hisako frowned and said bluntly:
“It’s an honor to be able to taste Erina-sama’s cooking. How could it be described as ‘good’?!”
“Are you questioning the strength of the Totsuki Ten?”
As soon as the words fell
“Fei Sha!”
Erina turned her head and stared at Hisako.
“The manager’s cooking skills are amazing! Very amazing!”
“Much stronger than me!”
“Apologize to the store manager!”
Even Erina was kidnapped by Rize Kamishiro, but was impressed by Aoba’s cooking.
At certain moments, it is still the tongue of God that cannot be questioned by others.
“sorry……”
Under Erina’s firm request for an apology, Hisako had no choice but to bow her head and admit her mistake to Aoba.
“fine.”
Aoba shook his head.
Being questioned is not a big deal.
“Hahaha, there aren’t many people in the world who have the talent that Erina can praise!”
Nakiri Senzaemon laughed loudly and looked at Aoba with admiration:
“Mr. Manager, if possible, please come to Totsuki!”
“Nearly 90 percent of the world’s top chefs gather there.”
“For a chef surviving alone in the culinary wilderness, it’s essential to find like-minded companions!”
Grandpa… would actually recruit a store manager?
Erina Nakiri also looked at Aoba expectantly.
Although I have been rejected once before, what if the store manager agrees?
“Feel sorry……”
Aoba faced the burning gazes of the three people and shook his head calmly.
It seems that Totsuki, known as a chef’s paradise, is not as good as this izakaya.
Feishazi’s eyes widened and she glared at Qingye angrily.
This is an invitation from the Totsuki Commander-in-Chief, known as the ‘Demon King of Food’! ! !
This guy actually refused like that!?
Chapter 10: The Passion of the Past? It’s Hard to Guess a Girl’s Mind! (Old Version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 10: The passion of the past? The girl’s mind is really hard to guess!
“Is that so?”
Senzaemon nodded with a clear mind.
He was not surprised by Qingye’s refusal.
In order to find their own path, many of the world’s top chefs have their own ideas to a greater or lesser extent.
This is what Nakiri Tsuchiya is like…
Saiba Seiichiro is the same…
“If you change your mind later, you’re always welcome to Totsuki.”
Senzaemon handed Aoba a business card.
It had his name printed on it.
“besides……”
Immediately following.
The silver-haired old man stood up from his seat, his tall and straight figure standing next to Erina looking particularly outstanding.
He solemnly lowered his majestic and proud body.
“Thank you so much for saving Erina!”
Erina and Hisako beside them also bowed 90 degrees at the same time: “Thank you!”
This scene made Qingye feel somewhat helpless.
Do people in this country like to bow so much?
But when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
He also nodded slightly seriously:
“You don’t need to say thank you. Erina is a very good child.”
“And maybe seeing how hard she worked, I wanted to show off my skills too.”
Aoba looked at Erina with an appreciative smile, then returned to the kitchen.
Leaving behind three people looking at each other in bewilderment.
“Lord Erina…”
Hisako looked at Erina blankly, not knowing what Aoba meant by wanting to show off his skills.
Senzaemon and Erina looked expectant.
“Wait a moment.”
The commander-in-chief had spoken, and Feishazi had no choice but to keep quiet.
In the kitchen.
Qingye skillfully beat the eggs, poured oil, and lit the fire…
I have cooked thousands of times and have already mastered all the techniques and skills.
But perhaps it was an illusion given to him by his super sense of taste.
He felt as if he had returned to his apprenticeship days, practicing hard until late at night to cook a dish well.
He seemed to have regained the flow of mind that allowed him to fully immerse himself in cooking.
Outside the pot, flames were flying!
Inside the pot, a golden color appears! !
With the final addition of green chopped green onions, the whole dish is finally complete!
Out of the pan!!!
It took just under two minutes.
Aoba handed the packaged food to Erina.
“Give.”
“Thank you, Mr. Manager.”
Erina took the food with great anticipation.
Although she didn’t see what it was, the rich smell had already convinced her!
“Let’s go.”
Senzaemon smiled and took out a stack of Japanese yen and placed it on the table.
“Mr. Manager, this is Erina’s meal fee.”
“We will come again next time we have the chance.”
After saying that, he left with Erina and Hisako.
Aoba looked at the stack of Japanese yen on the table and smiled.
As expected of the Food King of the Totsuki Group, he has a perfect grasp of the ways of the world and human relationships.
Time passes by little by little.
Only Aoba and Kasumigaoka were left in the izakaya.
Kasumigaoka was sprawled on the table, making some cute sleeping sounds.
It seems that the child is not going to wake up.
Aoba leaned against the wooden door of the izakaya and looked at the stars in the sky.
Counting the years since the store opened.
Although there are not many customers, fortunately it can cover the expenses of the izakaya.
Plus sometimes there are some generous guests.
For example, today, Yayu and Senzaemon directly contributed 200,000 yen.
This is enough to cover half a month’s expenses.
Don’t worry about anything else and live peacefully in this world.
It is Qingye’s deepest buried wish.
Although there are some things in this world that are incomprehensible, we still have to adapt to them.
Just based on what happened tonight, Qingye felt that his worldview had been almost reshaped.
Ghouls, wagtails, and delicious food…
These are things that exist outside of District 20.
But now they all appeared in his small izakaya.
Maybe it will be some kind of opportunity?
Qingye hugged his arms and accidentally touched the tooth marks on his body that had not yet completely disappeared.
call……
I don’t know how that woman is doing now.
Qingye, who has experienced a lot, doesn’t want to think too much.
Now that I have such a peaceful and safe life.
Then just focus on what’s in front of you.
Those things that we can’t figure out now may have answers in the future.
“Ah~~ It hurts!”
Behind him, Kasumigaoka cried out in pain.
He looked at Aoba with a sad face.
“Are you stupid!?”
Qingye covered his face helplessly, not knowing what to say.
Kasumigaoka, who had woken up painfully from a drunken stupor, was still a little tipsy.
Qingye helplessly took out ice cubes from the freezer and handed them to the other party.
“Please apply it.”
Ice compresses are very effective for both pain and bleeding.
“Woo woo woo~”
“I want Aoba-kun to apply it on me.”
Although the girl is only a high school student, the charming charm she revealed at that moment seems like that of a mature woman.
Qingye hit the girl on the head in anger.
“Don’t act silly when you’re drunk.”
pity.
Aoba would not be fascinated by Kasumigaoka at this moment.
From a certain perspective, he is still a sage of time.
Besides.
I have known this girl, who is sometimes young and sometimes mature, for almost a year.
Qingye will no longer be easily fooled.
He placed the ice in front of Kasumigaoka.
The girl, as if feeling resentful and unsatisfied, picked up the ice and put it on her lips.
“hiss–“
The coolness that touched the wound made Kasumigaoka gasp.
Aoba looked at Kasumigaoka at this moment and doubted very much whether she could go home by herself.
It’s almost early morning now.
Although the location of the izakaya is not remote, it is just two streets away from the busy Central Street.
But a drunk girl on the street late at night…
Anyone who thinks about it would find it inappropriate.
“Aoba-kun really doesn’t know anything. He has no common sense at all…”
Listening to the whispers in my ears.
Aoba sighed.
“I can hear it.”
Qingye said helplessly.
Kasumigaoka was startled at once, and the wound on her lip was pulled, causing her to cry out in pain with tears in her eyes.
“Woo woo woo~~~”
“It hurts so much~!”
The girl with red eyes is very cute.
She didn’t have the usual sharp-tongued queen demeanor at all.
She looks more like an ordinary, weak girl who has not yet grown out of her childishness.
“Come on, I’ll take you home.”
Aoba made a decision.
In order to avoid any further trouble, he decided it would be better to send Kasumigaoka away first.
“Hey, how come Qingye-kun suddenly came to his senses?”
“I shouldn’t have let you drink today.”
Aoba deeply regretted his decision to let the other party drink.
But there’s nothing I can do.
When the girl hurried over to see him today, he couldn’t help but celebrate with her.
But I never expected that this girl would not get drunk even after drinking a cup of soju on a normal day.
I got drunk with just half a cup of hot beer.
After hearing Aoba’s words, Kasumigaoka fell silent for a moment.
The corners of his mouth inadvertently twitched slightly, but he regained his composure in an instant.
“Hey, please excuse me, dear store manager!”
The girl said to Qingye with a mischievous and teasing expression.
“Put on your clothes first, and we’ll leave.”
After hearing what Aoba said, Kasumigaoka began to notice that she was still wearing a piece of clothing.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
“Tsk, I didn’t expect Qingye-kun to be considerate to girls~!”
Aoba ignored Kasumigaoka.
He packed up the things in the store.
After checking that everything was fine, he turned off the lights in the kitchen.
Then changed clothes.
Arrived in front of Kasumi Hill.
Kasumigaoka smiled and followed Aoba slowly.
The two stood outside the store.
Kasumigaoka watched Aoba lock the store.
She wrapped her coat slightly around herself.
The wind in the early morning always carries a slight chill, which makes the girl involuntarily get closer to Qingye.
“Just this once…”
Aoba noticed something strange about Kasumigaoka, sighed, turned around and zipped up Kasumigaoka’s pants.
His clothes were loose on the girl.
Zip the clothes up to your head.
Only the girl’s eyes were exposed.
This Kasumigaoka looks a bit like a penguin.
Qingye couldn’t help but smile.
In dim light.
The stars in the sky seemed to be reflected in the handsome boy’s captivating eyes.
The girl’s eyes kept flickering and her face was even redder than before.
What a pity.
Qingye didn’t see it.
This is the most intoxicating scene for a girl!
“Where is your home?”
“In Aoba-kun’s heart~”
“Forget it, I’ll just hand you over to the police.”
“Ah… Aoba-kun is so cruel!”
Chapter 11 Kasumigaoka: Am I your trouble? (Old version)
Chapter 11: Kasumigaoka: Am I your trouble?
The 20th ward is the busiest area in Tokyo at night.
There are no supernatural powers here, nor are there any ghouls, monsters, or weirdos.
Therefore, all kinds of prosperous commercial and entertainment venues are chosen in this place.
Even many special places such as custom streets are mostly located here.
It’s just because the rent on Central Street in District 20 is too expensive.
Most of the entertainment shops are located in small alleys like ‘Ainosuke’ Street.
This street is only about a hundred meters from beginning to end.
But on this road of about a hundred meters, there are more than a dozen custom places.
From various private izakayas to adult baths, it’s all here.
There are also several gambling shops that play pinball.
Aoba’s izakaya is right at the end of Ainosuke Street.
Uncle Furukawa and Aunt Sanae’s bakery is on the street of Ainosuke Street.
On weekdays, Qingye rarely comes out at night except for mining.
Because at night, the entertainment venues are at their peak.
Aoba’s appearance is too unfair, coupled with that “succubus” physique and the advantage of being young.
Such teenagers can easily attract the attention of mature women.
Every time he walked on Ainosuke Street at night, he would be teased by many “big sisters”.
Some people just take advantage of others verbally, while others like to get physical.
Even if he can keep his original intention.
But the scent of a mature woman will eventually make people’s hearts flutter.
Moreover, those older sisters are all veterans in hanging out with men.
It is not an easy task to cope with.
Just like now
Kasumigaoka grabbed the corner of Aoba’s clothes with her hand and walked in front in a low voice.
Aoba followed behind Kasumigaoka with his head slightly lowered.
From time to time, a joke or two would reach the two of them.
“Xiao Qingye, come in and sing a song with your sister?”
Goodbye, sister. I really can’t come tonight.
“Huh? Is this Aoba-chan’s girlfriend? She’s very pretty.”
No, no, no, it’s just a drunken nuisance.
“When you grow up, you can come to me and I’ll give you half the price.”
Uh – although it’s very tempting.
But forget it.
Qingye couldn’t help but think of the woman who took advantage of him last night.
I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to see you again in the future.
Aoba and Kasumigaoka walked very quickly for the hundred meters or so.
The two of them didn’t say anything along the way.
But after walking out of Ainosuke Street, their faces turned red at the same time.
“Why did Aoba-kun have to open a shop in a place like this?”
Blown by the cold wind all the way, Kasumigaoka seemed to have become a little more sober.
The drunkenness had dissipated a lot as he spoke.
“Kasumigaoka-san, don’t you want me to open a shop here?”
Aoba looked towards Kasumigaoka with a smile in his eyes.
no way.
He has lived on this street all his life, and the izakaya is his home.
The store manager’s sudden question made Kasumigaoka’s pretty face blush again, but she was not the type to give up easily.
Suddenly she turned around, her silk-stockinged knees almost bumped into Qingye, her pearly teeth left a crescent-shaped white mark on her lower lip, and her black satin hair accessory was lifted up and down by the wind.
Staring at him with blank eyes, she said:
“Mr. Manager, do you want me to say I do… or don’t?”
The night breeze is blowing gently.
The neon sign of the love hotel in the distance was switching to a heart pattern, making the girl’s flushed face flicker.
But the distance between the two is very close.
So close that they could almost feel each other’s breath.
There was only each other in the two pairs of eyes.
At this moment, it seemed as if they were the only ones left in the world.
“If it’s any later, Kasumigaoka-san might not have to go home.”
Aoba was the first to break the silence between the two.
While looking at Kasumigaoka Hill, one corner of his mouth curled up and his eyes became a little strong.
“Mr. Store Manager has committed a foul!!!”
The girl’s performance was even worse than he had imagined.
Following Qingye’s strong gaze and those words that did not seem like a joke.
Kasumigaoka’s cheeks flushed red, and she quickly turned around and walked forward.
But my head is a mess.
What does it mean that you don’t have to go home?
If I don’t go home, should I go back to the izakaya with the store manager… and be alone in a room with the store manager…
For a while.
Many inappropriate texts for children that she had read popped up in Kasumigaoka’s mind.
Aoba couldn’t help but smile when he saw the girl with steam coming out of her head.
The two have known each other for more than a year.
This was the first time he had completely triumphed in joking with Kasumigaoka.
This kind of behavior now is suitable for a girl of this age.
Following up to Kasumigaoka, he waited until the girl’s expression returned to normal before speaking:
“Opening a store there means there are fewer people, but not much else.”
“Although those sisters have that kind of profession, they are all very nice people.”
Qingye looked at the busy crowds on the street and said seriously.
Live a new life.
He will not discriminate against others because of their profession.
Many times, we are helpless.
Moreover, those who are all show and no substance are perhaps the majority of people in this society.
“But Mr. Manager, aren’t you worried that there will be no business if there are too few people?”
Kasumigaoka asked doubtfully.
Living in Tokyo requires a lot of monthly expenses.
Especially izakayas like Aoba’s, they basically make money by selling alcohol.
The prices of drinks in Qingye store are much cheaper than those outside.
Plus there aren’t many guests every night.
Is this kind of business really enough for him to live on?
Aoba smiled and shook his head.
Although he has few customers, many of them are wealthy!
Besides, he opened the shop not to make money, but just to have a peaceful life.
After he told Kasumigaoka what he was thinking.
The girl looked at him very strangely.
“Mr. Store Manager is such a strange person.”
“We are obviously about the same age, but you always act like an adult…”
grown ups?
Maybe.
Qingye smiled silently.
He had pursued many things in the past, but his life became more and more tiring.
I might as well just lie down for the rest of my life.
Just want a peaceful and comfortable life.
Seeing his serious expression, Kasumigaoka seemed to understand and couldn’t help but smile.
“Really, Aoba-kun, you really don’t care.”
“Sometimes wanting too much can actually bring you a lot of trouble.”
“What about me? Am I a problem for Aoba-kun?”
“It depends on what you think.”
“Woo~ Hehe, Qing… Ye…?”
Chapter 12: Feelings Heated? Don’t Try to Guess What the Girl Is Thinking… (Old Version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 12: Feelings heat up? Don’t try to guess what the girl is thinking… Picture and text
Kasumigaoka Utaha’s home is also in District 20.
It’s just three blocks away from Ainosuke Street.
This is already the edge of District 20.
It doesn’t look like the prosperous Tokyo area at all.
Under the darkness.
Small buildings stand quietly in the distance.
Street lights are arranged one by one, pointing to the dark world in the distance.
Bright lights shone above their heads.
The overlapping shadows intertwined silently.
Aoba and Kasumigaoka Utaha chatted as they walked.
Even after living in this world for so many years, he is still very curious about the life he has not experienced.
So, he is always the one asking.
Kasumigaoka answered all of Aoba’s questions one by one.
Finally, she arrived in front of a secluded two-story detached house and stopped.
This is her residence.
Qingye took a curious look. The small building was dark and there were no lights on.
This might be the reason why Kasumigaoka would go to the izakaya whenever he had time.
Living alone.
No matter how strong you are, there will always be times when you feel lonely.
“Have you always lived alone?”
Qingye was a little curious.
“No, it’s just that Mom and Dad went on a business trip a few days ago, and now I’m the only one at home.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had completely sobered up, looked back to normal.
She took a few small steps forward.
Then he suddenly turned to face Aoba.
The flying hair fluttered in the air for a few times, revealing two simple hairpins.
The girl’s eyes suddenly became a little mischievous.
“Hey!”
“Mr. Manager, would you like to come in and sit down?”
Kasumigaoka leaned forward slightly, moved closer to Aoba, and a familiar curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This is a very dangerous statement!!
In the middle of the night, a girl living alone invites someone to her home.
It’s either a honey trap or they are greedy for his body.
Bad girl element noticed!
“I refuse.”
Qingye immediately expressed his opinion.
After knowing each other for so long, he would not be fooled by the girl in front of him.
It appears to be a temptation, but in reality it is just a dangerous game played by a young girl.
“I didn’t expect Aoba-kun to refuse, tsk.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha retracted her upper body.
Shenqing looked at Qingye with an inexplicable smile.
Even in dim light, her beauty is still captivating.
“But if I agree, what will you do?”
Aoba once again cast a strong gaze towards Kasumigaoka.
The inexplicable meaning in her eyes made the girl’s body suddenly become a little stiff.
“Mr. Manager! The beauty trap is against the rules!!!”
Kasumigaoka’s face flushed red.
But suddenly he became hesitant.
“But I’m just a weak and helpless high school student. If the store manager insists on coming in, I definitely can’t stop him.”
This move of retreating to advance stunned Qingye.
After a few seconds, he smiled helplessly.
“Go back to bed quickly. It’s already late. Don’t you have to go to school tomorrow?”
Qingye didn’t dare to say that he fully understood the girl in front of him.
But the basic character is still known.
Although there is no way to resist the “succubus” entry, if I really go in, I’m afraid the other party will really call the police afterwards.
Although this child looks bold and mature, she is actually just a young girl who is trying hard to pretend to be mature.
If something bad really happens, I will definitely choose to escape or hide.
“Hehe!”
“Is Qingye-kun still very gentle?”
Kasumigaoka Utaha hummed with great satisfaction.
She turned around and walked towards her home.
But he had only taken two steps when Qingye called him.
“Kasumigaoka-san, I don’t know much about light novels, but…”
“If I give up now, I’ll blame myself one day.”
“Just keep doing what you want to do, and the results will be good.”
Aoba recalled the scene of Kasumigaoka Utaha coming to his shop tonight.
Mingming is a girl who usually pays great attention to her image.
But this time she didn’t even wear a hairpin.
There’s definitely something bothering him.
In addition, the girl said a few days ago that she was going to submit an article soon.
Nine times out of ten, the submission will fail.
Now that they are about to part, Qingye thinks it would be better to comfort the other person.
after all.
If you really give up, that person will slowly become unlike himself.
When Kasumigaoka Utaha heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably with her back to him.
A mist slowly gathered in those eyes.
But she quickly blinked away.
She turned around, a slight breeze blowing through her hair, and she looked at Qingye with a charming smile under the light.
“Qingye, are you really not going to come up and sit for a while?”
“I’m really the only one here.”
The girl had a wicked smile on her face.
Qingye shook his head slowly, his eyes still calm:
“Sometimes, it’s not a bad thing to talk to a friend.”
“Besides, I think there should be a lot of people who want to be friends with Kasumigaoka-san.”
Kasumigaoka looked into Aoba’s calm and gentle eyes.
The emotions in my heart seemed to be about to explode at this moment, and an inexplicable grievance rushed to my eyes.
This emotion made Kasumigaoka lower her head and look at the floor that was shining with light. Her watery eyes were mixed with a low voice:
“Manager-kun, do you really enjoy making girls cry?”
“Emm…”
Qingye sighed suddenly when he saw this scene:
“Actually, I have the answer to Kasumigaoka-san’s question from before.”
“Hmm? What’s the problem?”
“You asked me if I missed you and said ‘yes or no’…”
“So what’s the store manager’s answer?”
Kasumigaoka raised her eyes, her watery eyes staring blankly at Aoba.
“Um…”
Qingye deliberately dragged it out for a while, watching the girl’s constantly changing expression, and suddenly smiled:
“I’ll tell you when you come to the store tomorrow.”
“Huh?! How could this happen! Is the store manager a complete idiot?!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha realized that she seemed to have been played by Aoba, and all the previous grievances disappeared at this moment.
He then glared at Qingye angrily.
Seeing Aoba looking at her with mischief and malice on his face, Kasumigaoka’s face turned redder.
“Mr. Manager, this is too much!”
He opened the door and rushed in without looking back.
Aoba just watched from downstairs.
It wasn’t until he saw the lights on the second floor come on that he smiled and shook his head.
In the quiet night, a girl’s thoughts are always difficult to understand.
It seemed like the unbearable ten minutes before get out of class ended.
The warm light escaped from the window and shone on Qingye.
“Kasumigaoka-san.”
“Hateful store manager, what else can I do for you?”
“I’m glad to see you in the store.”
The boy’s words were like a depth bomb thrown into the lake called ‘youth’.
On this ordinary night, the young girl in love finds it difficult to sleep.
window.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was lying on the window, watched Aoba leave from behind, with a smile on her face that never faded.
“Thanks.”
“…Hateful…Manager-kun.”
The softly whispered words are like a soft spring breeze.
Warm but fleeting.
Chapter 13: I messed with a bad guy? That guy is… a ghoul! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 13: I poked a bad guy’s nest? That guy is… a ghoul!
District 20 is prosperous.
But just as light cannot illuminate all dark corners.
There are always some dirty things happening somewhere.
The Kasumigaoka family is on the edge of District 20.
This neighborhood is okay.
Every once in a while, there will be police officers or prosecutors from the Procuratorate to conduct inspections.
But just walk a little further.
There will be a series of alleys connected together.
Although it can barely be considered as the 20th district.
But the overall atmosphere is completely inferior to other places in District 20.
Whether it is public security or daily life.
Aoba passed by this place.
He knew it from Kasumigaoka and the news on TV.
This place called ‘Lily of the Valley District’ will be cleared and rebuilt in the near future.
The so-called Suzuran District is actually the location of three or four high schools.
The most famous ones are the bad boys in high school.
After all, since they are all minors, it is impossible to convict them of any particularly serious crimes.
Moreover, fighting is a problem that can be big or small.
At least they can’t be like the ghouls, monsters, and monsters in other areas.
It often causes extremely large social unrest.
Therefore, the main method used by the police here to deal with the bad boys is education.
Qingye thought as he walked, shaking his head from time to time.
He didn’t have much opinion about these bad boys.
After all, who hasn’t gone through adolescence?
Probably everyone will be a little rebellious at that special age.
And those bad boys are not unforgivable evil people.
Most of them use their fists to vent their dissatisfaction with the outside world.
It seemed childish, but that was the best they could do.
“Kyoko, Akemi, I’m leaving now.”
“Goodbye, Sister Saeko!”
“Big Sister, goodbye!”
Aoba heard a conversation.
It’s already three o’clock in the morning.
If you don’t sleep in the middle of the night, you are just a bad boy…girl?
Several footsteps came towards him.
He looked over.
Three JK girls in black long school uniforms are saying goodbye at the entrance of the alley.
One of the girls had long purple hair, and Qingye looked at her a few more times.
She… looks so familiar!
Busujima Saeko?
The only daughter of the Busujima family? The “female swordsman” who won the Tokyo Gyokuryu Kendo Tournament for three consecutive years?
Aoba’s eyes changed slightly.
The two people next to her, one has long black hair and looks sweet and cute, and doesn’t look like a bad girl at all.
The other girl could naturally be considered a “real person” in the eyes of ordinary high school students.
Such a strange trio hanging out in the ‘Lily of the Valley District’ late at night?
“Hey! What are you looking at? Do you want me to dig out your eyes and throw them on the ground?”
The girl called Kyoko seemed to notice Aoba’s gaze and spoke in a very unfriendly tone.
However, the tone, still childish, could explain their identities.
High school student.
“Okay, Kyoko, it’s probably just someone passing by.”
Busujima Saeko smiled and shook her head at Kyoko, then turned her gaze to the girl on the other side:
“Amei, after I leave, Kyoko will be in your care.”
“I’m the one who needs someone to take care of me!” Kyoko raised her hands and yelled, “Saeko-san is doing well in the girls’ school, why did she have to transfer?”
“Hey, I’ve said it many times, and what my father has decided cannot be changed.”
Busujima Saeko smiled helplessly.
After saying hello again.
She and Qingye walked in the same direction from the alley entrance.
In the quiet night.
A man and a woman, one in front and one behind, were separated by a distance of nearly five or six meters.
Not a word was exchanged between the two.
Qingye even shook his head secretly, wanting to speed up his pace to create distance and leave here early.
But…just when I thought about it.
There were already several figures blocking his way.
Gray clothes, unique hairstyle, and a deliberately fierce look.
“What can I do for you?”
Qingye knew he couldn’t leave.
He had secretly made preparations.
Being a chef in my previous life meant more than just cutting melons and cooking in the kitchen.
Let’s not even talk about the white case.
Who among those who are involved in red cases doesn’t have the lives of a few pigs and cows on his hands?
As for chickens, ducks, fish and rabbits, there are too many to count.
Sometimes, when too many animals are killed…
The same goes for other things.
Otherwise, when he encountered the ghoul last night, his legs would have been too weak to stand up.
Besides, what we see now is just bad.
Fighting is all about speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.
All you need to do is seize the opportunity, aim at the weak point and strike hard.
“Boy, you deserve this bad luck!”
“Since you saw us take action, you will pay the price!”
“Kill him and Busujima too!”
“As long as we take care of her tonight, the Lily of the Valley District will be ours from now on!”
Qingye sighed silently in his heart.
really.
He shouldn’t have thought that the person in front of him would have any intention of communicating.
When a middle school boy becomes a bad boy, how could he listen to what others say?
“Sir, I’m so sorry to have gotten you involved.”
Busujima Saeko’s eyes darkened slightly.
Her long purple hair moved slightly in the night wind, and she seemed not to care about the scene before her.
He even had the mood to apologize to Aoba.
“Can you do it?”
Qingye naturally didn’t want to waste his energy as he didn’t have to.
“Leave it to me.”
Busujima Saeko pulled out a wooden sword from her left waist and made a knife flower with it.
“Bukujima-ryu, Busujima Saeko!”
As if standing on the arena of a kendo competition, Busujima Saeko’s eyes were sharp and her whole body was full of confidence.
And behind those eyes full of confidence, there was a deep hint of excitement and madness.
That’s all.
A dozen people on the opposite side immediately rushed forward.
Aoba also focused his attention instantly!
The world before his eyes seemed to slow down.
His eyes also became a little shocked.
This situation…
Is it because of physical improvement?
The figures of the dozen or so people and Busujima Saeko seemed to be stuck in slow motion.
Their fists and swords were drawn as if in slow motion.
In this abnormal space and time, Qingye is the only one who is normal.
Facing the other people rushing towards him, he simply took a step back easily.
Then he kicked someone in the abdomen.
It’s a very magical feeling.
After doing all this, Qingye couldn’t help but be surprised.
In an instant, the world in front of him returned to normal!
The four bad boys also fell to the ground, holding their stomachs in pain.
And it looks like he can hardly stand up.
After seeing this, Busujima Saeko, who was not far away,
The corners of his mouth also curled up.
It turns out… this gentleman is also very strong!
“I’m terribly sorry.”
After dealing with the bad guys, Busujima Saeko put away the wooden sword with some blood on it.
Quite elegantly, like a Yamato Nadeshiko, she bowed slightly towards Aoba.
“Oh, you’re welcome. Goodbye.”
Qingye waved his hand and prepared to leave.
But things went against our wishes…
The sound of several footsteps once again broke the silence of the alley.
“Oh? Looks like there’s still something wrong with the intelligence!”
“Besides the stinky woman from the Busujima family, there’s actually a man?”
A typical Western man in a well-tailored suit stood in front of Aoba and Busujima Saeko.
“Looking for you again?”
Aoba turned his head speechlessly and looked at Busujima Saeko.
Why does a girl who looks so gentle have so many troubles?
“Uh…I don’t know him either.”
After seeing the other person’s appearance clearly, Busujima Saeko also shook her head in confusion.
She didn’t know the other person.
“It doesn’t matter whether you recognize me or not…”
The other party smiled and clapped his hands slightly.
Behind him, a man with a strong smell of blood walked out, his eyes gloomy under the mask.
Those eyes looked at Aoba and Busujima Saeko as if they were looking at food.
at the same time.
This also made Qingye’s gaze pause slightly.
That guy… is a ghoul!!!
Chapter 14: The Secret of Physical Enhancement? Busujima Saeko’s Excitement! (Old Version)
This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop? Chapter 14: The secret of physical enhancement? Busujima Saeko’s excitement!
“That guy…”
Aoba wasn’t the only one who noticed the ghoul.
Even Busujima Saeko, who had never seen a ghoul in District 20 for many years, sensed trouble at this moment.
The man behind the other party… is definitely not an ordinary thug!
This is the keen perception that he gained from practicing kendo since childhood.
“Trouble~”
Did I disturb the ghoul’s lair tonight?
Even though he was in District 20, where ghouls were extinct, he still encountered four of them in a row?
Uh… counting Kamishiro Rize, that makes five.
Is this considered a large-scale invasion of the stable zone by ghouls?
“Mr. XX, I’ll leave it to you. That woman can’t die. Everything else is up to you.”
The man in the suit smiled sinisterly, and although he addressed him as “Mr.”
But his eyes were full of disgust, and he secretly kept a considerable distance from the masked man.
“remuneration……”
The masked male ghoul’s hoarse voice made everyone present frown.
“The reward has been prepared in District 18. Just bring this woman here and you can enjoy her as you please.”
The masked man got a satisfactory answer, and his terrifying eyes instantly turned red!
This was followed by the sound of clothes being torn.
A bright red thing that looked like a tail, made up of countless pieces of flesh and blood, suddenly slammed towards Qingye!
The speed is far different from the previous one.
Aoba looked at the ghoul rushing towards him with a slightly strange look in his eyes.
A ghoul who has awakened his kagune…is this the limit?
Under his magical feeling.
Even when the ghoul’s tail sword came crashing down, it was as if the slow motion button had been pressed.
“If it’s just the ability provided by the Gluttony skill, that’s a bit unfair, isn’t it?”
Qingye thought to himself.
After all, he only used his gluttony ability to eat a bowl of oden afterwards…
No…wait!
There seems to be something else.
While he was in a daze, the woman Kamishiro Rize’s… thing seemed to have entered his mouth.
Depend on!!!!
It was as if he was thinking of some unsightly scene.
A blush appeared on Qingye’s originally calm face that shouldn’t have appeared.
No wonder he can now see the other party’s movements clearly.
Although I don’t know how much the gluttony skill can be improved, that woman Kamishiro Rize didn’t stop until the end of the night!
“careful!”
A clear female voice brought Qingye back to his senses.
Dokujima beside him seemed to react faster than him. After solving the problem, his body, which had not yet fully recovered, stepped directly in front of him.
The blood-stained bamboo sword was still pointed firmly at the enemy.
“Well, just call it trouble.”
He’s obviously just an ordinary person, yet he dares to fight against ghouls with just a bamboo sword?
“Let me go.”
The magnetic voice penetrated into Busujima Saeko’s ears.
Then the bamboo sword in her hand seemed to be pulled by some force, and the tip of the sword came to a rather subtle angle.
then……
A flash before my eyes!
The strong sense of crisis made her whole body tremble!
Even my legs started to tremble!!
But this was not nervousness or fear, but the fight she had always dreamed of!
Her cheeks were flushed, and her purple hair, stained with sweat, swayed gently with the bamboo sword.
BANG!!!
Suddenly, a huge force came from his hand!
The bamboo sword also shattered!
But the same…
The ghoul on the opposite side seemed to have suffered a great blow and flew backwards!
“this…”
Busujima Saeko looked surprised.
Suddenly, I felt the soft touch between my fingers and looked down.
In addition to her own hands, there was another slender, white hand holding the shattered handle of the bamboo sword.
The well-defined jawline made her mind jump.
Is that the gentleman from before… who is good-looking and can fight?
Look up.
The distinct Adam’s apple moved up and down, causing Busujima Saeko to swallow her saliva.
It wasn’t until the sound of swallowing disturbed the owner of her Adam’s apple that she reacted suddenly.
“That’s why I said…it’s troublesome.”
Aoba let go of the bamboo sword and slightly distanced himself from Busujima Saeko.
If it weren’t for the girl standing in front of him, he would not have been willing to get involved in this seemingly troublesome matter.
After all, being able to bring ghouls to District 20 clearly means there’s an organization behind it.
“I’m really sorry for involving you.”
Busujima Saeko’s face flushed as she bowed.
Although she didn’t know who Qingye was, if she hadn’t had Qingye’s help just now.
I might have been lying on the ground a long time ago.
“You… are scaring me!”
The masked ghoul who was knocked away got up from the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked at the man in the suit with a violent look.
“No! How could I possibly lie to you?!”
Watching Aoba sending all the ghouls flying, the man in the suit’s expression changed noticeably.
He simply couldn’t figure out the route of Busujima Saeko’s actions that he had investigated.
Why did Qingye suddenly appear?
In a non-abnormal area like the stable district, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to be able to fight against the ghouls except for those who came from other districts!
“Hahaha……”
“I didn’t expect that! Busujima-san would actually look for people from other districts!”
“Ms. Dudao, I admit I failed this time, but please tell Mr. Dudao that merging the districts won’t be that easy!”
After saying these harsh words, the man in the suit ran away in shame.
Where Aoba looked, the masked male ghoul had already disappeared.
Maybe he ran away the moment he realized he was no match for Aoba.
After all, as a ghoul who has been hunted by CCG for many years, his ability to fight the enemy may not be good, but his ability to escape is absolutely first-class!
“Huh~”
Seeing the other party run away directly, Busujima Saeko finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I was just thinking about thanking Qingye.
“Thanks…”
As a result, Qingye waved his hand and walked away.
“You’re welcome. Goodbye.”
He seemed to have just heard something terrible, and if he stayed any longer, he might get into trouble.
Forget it, it’s better to stay away from it.
“Thank you for your help, sir.”
“My name is Busujima Saeko, what’s your name?”
When Busujima Saeko saw Aoba leaving, her heart tightened and she desperately wanted to know his name.
As the only daughter of the Busujima family.
When someone does you a favor, you must repay them with gratitude!
“Just think of me as a passerby.”
Qingye’s figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Looking at Saeko Busujima with the broken knife in her hand, she murmured, “I will definitely find you.”
“Now……”
“Maybe it’s time to pave the way for Kyoko and the others.”
The night wind whispers.
In the silent lily of the valley area, a good show seems to be going on.
Many police officers heard roars and screams that night.
“Never mind. I guess it’s just some bad boys from a few schools fighting over their territory.”
“I don’t know why these kids are fighting over territory. Toyosaki is still the best. I heard that Miss Busujima is also going to transfer there.”
“That’s great! My child is in Toyosaki. Maybe he can learn a few sword techniques from Miss Busujima!”
Chapter 15: Seeking More Kamishiro Rize! Perfect Golden Egg Fried Rice!!! (Old Version)
This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 15: Seeking more Kamishiro Rize! Perfect golden fried rice!!!
It was already four o’clock in the morning.
The whole of Tokyo seemed to have entered the deepest sleep.
No matter which district.
There are very few people walking on the streets during this time.
It’s just that… the period when people disappear happens to be the carnival of some guys who are parasitic in this city.
“The eldest daughter of the Nakiri family has been found?!”
“That’s what you do!”
“If District 11 can’t do it, I can hand it over to other districts!”
District 11.
A gathering place for ghoul organizations.
More than twenty ghouls in various outfits were slowly gathering around a building at the gathering place.
And on top of that building.
A mature woman with flowing purple hair looked at the bustling Tokyo in the distance and smiled silently.
He seemed completely oblivious to what was happening below.
“Lord Rize! Those guys are coming towards us!”
Behind the woman.
A burly man with a beard looked at the ghouls surrounding him with a worried look on his face.
Although he didn’t know why Lord Rize seemed like a different person after returning from the Anding District.
But from the moment Lord Rize saved him.
Her loyalty will be forever engraved in his life!
“Hehe~”
“Wanzhang, I want to go to the Anting District.”
Kamidai Lishi tilted his head.
The purple hair looked a bit like blood red in the moonlight.
A pair of silver-rimmed glasses on her intellectual and elegant face made her look more human.
“Anping District?”
Wan Zhang’s weak brain thought for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, “Isn’t that the Inspection Office’s territory?”
Inspection Department.
That’s an organization that’s even more difficult to deal with than CCG.
At least when you encounter CCG, you can still fight to the death.
But if you run into a prosecutor from the Public Prosecutions Office…
All ghouls, without exception, were killed without a complete body!
Even He Bao will not be left behind.
If CCG is a Quinque battle using kagune, it can be considered human in some ways.
Then those guys in the Inspection Office… have completely gone beyond the scope of humanity!
At least Wanzhang had heard others say that.
The guys from the Inspection Office can fly around in the sky by their own power.
This is something that even the SSS-level Ghoul King cannot do.
“Inspection Office? There’s always a way.”
“Besides, there are ghouls in the Anting District. There’s a cafe that’s doing very well there.”
Kamishiro Rize stood up from the edge of the abandoned building.
Those bright eyes curved, and her right hand stroked across her lower abdomen.
As if he was savoring something.
The corner of his mouth even murmured softly: “I still want more…”
The ghouls below have completely surrounded the abandoned building, and the leader of the organization has even reached the rooftop.
“Kamiyo, if things go wrong, you have to give an explanation.”
“It’s not that easy to leave District 11 so easily!”
Facing ghoul leaders who are at least A-rank ghouls.
Even Manjo, who hadn’t awakened his kagune yet, still stood in front of Kamishiro Rize: “Sir Rize, you go first!”
The moonlight is like water.
It seems like you can be infected by a certain color in the blink of an eye.
Kamishiro Rize looked up at the group of ghouls and sighed impatiently: “Ah…”
“There’s always some trouble.”
Snap!
The sound of high heels stepping on gravel and rubble sounded slowly in everyone’s ears.
And a touch of blood red instantly dyed the night red.
Countless scales gradually enveloped Kamishiro Rize, and an indescribable oppression made all the ghouls present stunned.
“Th-That’s…”
The sudden tall figure made them completely unable to react.
Just like the ghoul king in the ghoul legend.
Looking down at them from above.
“No, impossible!”
“You’re only S-rank, how did you become a Hezhe?!”
Several questioning voices were heard.
But this is their last words.
“lofty.”
“Lord Rishi!!!”
The two men slowly walked out of the abandoned building, and the latter looked at the object of his loyalty with a fanatical look on his face.
“District 11 is now in your hands.”
“Ah?! I…”
“If you need anything, come find me at the coffee shop in Anding District.”
Kamishiro Rize waved her hand, and the figure remained elegant, without even a trace of blood.
After returning to Totsuki, Nakiri Senzaemon, Erina, and Hisako had no intention of resting.
Especially Erina Nakiri.
Although it was already early morning, she still couldn’t calm down.
Introspection is like a boiling pot of soup.
The lake in my heart was in turmoil, as violent as a volcano about to erupt.
“Grandpa, open it and take a look.”
Looking at the ordinary take-out box on the table, she couldn’t help herself.
“Well, let’s take a look.”
Senzaemon was as steady as a mountain, with a calm expression on his old face.
In fact, he also wanted to try the cooking skills of the mature store manager.
perhaps……
Maybe it can really change Erina.
After all, the child had been living under that guy’s wrong teachings.
But tonight.
But he saw the changes in Erina Nakiri.
I am even more looking forward to Aoba’s cooking.
The three of them sat around the table.
Erina opened it expectantly.
An irresistible smell rushed into her nostrils, and then something seemed to glow before her eyes…
On the other side, when Nakiri Senzaemon smelled this scent, his expression changed.
The clothes on his body suddenly exploded!
“Is this… a breakthrough beyond the level of a traditional chef!?”
The shirtless Senzaemon looked at the glowing dish in shock.
“Glowing… cuisine?!”
As for Feishazi, he had his mouth open, not knowing what to say.
She looked at the commander-in-chief, whose clothes were torn to pieces, and then at Lady Erina, who had been conquered by the fragrance…
Her face flushed with embarrassment.
I actually… questioned the store manager!?
As the golden light dissipated.
This dish was also fully displayed in front of the three people.
“Hmm? What kind of dish is this!?”
Erina looked at the rice in the takeaway box, each grain clearly wrapped in the golden egg liquid, and felt a little confused.
She grew up in Totsuki.
She had always been exposed to high-end ingredients, and she had never seen this kind of food before.
Nakiri Senzaemon was suddenly enlightened and stood there in a daze.
He laughed out loud again for no reason.
“So it’s egg fried rice?”
Thistle Nakiri!
Have you finally found someone to correct your distorted values?
“Erina!”
Senzaemon’s voice, like the sound of a bell, stunned Erina immediately.
“Try it.”
“This is the most common dish in the world!”
“A dish so common you wouldn’t even see it in a restaurant!!”
“It will make you understand what cooking is!!!”
These words were deafening.
It was like the sound of chimes and drums beating in Erina’s heart!
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded decisively, picked up the spoon, scooped up a little, and put it in her mouth.
In an instant!!!
A taste that is difficult to describe in words makes the taste buds called God’s Tongue begin to tremble continuously!
This smell is very light…
But the emotions contained in it are extremely sincere.
That’s right!
Feelings can also be tasted.
The ordinary dishes seem to contain countless emotions.
“Why……”
The culinary concepts she had built up over a long period of time were once again broken by Qingye!
The previous oden could still be explained by craftsmanship and techniques.
Today’s golden egg fried rice embodies all of Qingye’s knowledge of cooking.
This kind of common people’s cuisine…
Why does it smell like this?!
For Erina Nakiri, cooking has never been simply something to fill her stomach.
Cooking is everything to her!
It is something that can truly be held on to as a belief!
But now.
The faith she had held for so long began to crack at this moment!
Although it was a very delicious food, Erina Nakiri was already in tears at this moment.
Those gilded eyes that had always been proud were now filled with confusion and pain.
“Pain is certain.”
“This is also the reason why Totsuki was founded.”
“The food competition is not just about the food itself, but also about the chef’s own understanding of the culinary world!”
Senzaemon’s eyes were deep.
“Think carefully about your identity! Throw away all honors, what exactly are you?!”
The old and powerful voice made Erina fall into deep thought.
She is the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family.
They are among the ten most admired talents in Totsuki.
It is the divine tongue sought after by countless chefs.
Besides these…
She is also a chef!
Erina’s eyes, which had lost their luster, gradually began to come alive.
The flame called fighting spirit burned brightly from within.
Senzaemon smiled.
“Grandpa, I understand.”
Erina took a deep breath, her momentum returning.
The princess who was as proud as a lion is back again.
“I know what to do.”
Having said this.
Erina then pulled Hisako back to her room.
When only Senzaemon was left in the living room.
The old man sighed slightly.
However, looking at the fried rice that he had only taken a bite of, the pride of being the foodie king returned to his face!
She was saved, too.
Chapter 16: The Yamabuki flowers have bloomed. Interested in joining the Nura group? (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 16: The Yamabuki flowers are blooming. Are you interested in joining the Nura group?
Aoba sat quietly inside the front desk.
He was thinking about what had just happened.
The scene, as if time had stopped, was truly astonishing.
[Gluttony lv3, Cooking lv4, Shorthand lv1, Super Taste lv1]Looking at the illusory panel in front of him.
Gradually fell into deep thought.
Previously, my cooking skill was only level 3…
Perhaps it was because after making that golden egg fried rice, my cooking skill automatically upgraded to level 4.
That is to say
Can this skill be trained and upgraded by myself?
There is also the upgrade of cooking skills. Does it mean that there will be some special effects once it reaches level 4?
For example, special luminous dishes.
And if the Gluttony skill is upgraded…
What will be the effect?
Just thinking about coming into contact with that woman Kamishiro Rize, Aoba sighed.
Forget it.
If you mess with a woman, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
It’s better to eat more in daily life and upgrade slowly.
Now it is enough to know the upgrade methods and special effects of these skills.
“Crash—”
The door opened again.
Aoba stood up immediately.
“Welcome…to you?”
He uttered these four words hesitantly.
The door is open.
Why is there no one here?
“Bang, bang—!”
“Boy, what do you have in your store?”
An old voice came from inside the store.
Qingye looked back.
An old man with a very long back of the head was tapping the table with his pipe.
Um?
Is this old man in such good health?
When did he go in and he didn’t notice?
“That’s the menu right there. If there’s anything you want to eat, you can tell me and I can order it if I can make it.”
Qingye was only confused for a second before returning to normal.
Even ghouls appeared in the 20th district.
It’s normal to have monsters and the like appear.
“What do you recommend?”
The old man seemed very casual. He exhaled a puff of smoke and sat at the table in a relaxed manner.
He looks like a little child.
“Do you have any flavor preferences?”
Aoba asked.
“Hmm… let’s try something related to tea.”
The old man thought for a moment and looked around the izakaya.
It seems like there might not be anything to eat.
So I just told him something directly.
“Tea cuisine?”
Although the other party may not have any expectations for the food, Aoba, as a chef, will never give up because of contempt.
He chuckled slightly and walked into the kitchen.
The old man sitting in front of the table looked at Qingye’s back as it disappeared into the front hall, his eyes slightly gloomy.
When Qingye was cooking for him, the indifference on his face completely disappeared.
Instead, he showed an extremely puzzled solemnity.
“Such a strong thought…how could he be an ordinary person?”
As monsters, fear is what they rely on to survive.
In the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, the power that makes people afraid is the source of the monsters’ power.
This power also exists in various monster legends.
The more widely the monster is sung, the larger its scope, and the more it is feared by humans, the more powerful the fear it controls will be.
In contrast, the spiritual power of the Yin-Yang family requires hard practice of spiritual power, research of talismans and shikigami to reach the level of competing with monsters.
Outside of both.
Still has the third power.
That is what is called ‘mind’.
In his opinion, this kind of thing is something that can be encountered by chance but not sought after.
Only for creatures with emotions!
It’s just like the original prodigy Mei Ruomaru, who, after witnessing his mother being eaten by a monster, killed the monster with the burst of “mind”.
And relying on ‘thought’, he learned to control the ‘fear’ that only monsters can master in a human body!
He became the current captain of the Nura group – Ushio!
And now…
Once again, he saw such pure thoughts in a frail human being.
Even this “mind” pen is more powerful than that of a cow ghost!
At the same time, it was different from all the ‘Nian’ he had ever seen…
so.
That’s why he rushed to this izakaya from a hundred miles away.
I just want to see who has this “thought”.
“Humans…are truly amazing creatures.”
Nurarihyon put one hand behind his back and blew out a smoke ring.
The appearance of such an outlier in a place like District 20 might not be a good thing.
In the kitchen, Aoba was also thinking about the types of dishes.
Tea… Cuisine.
After all, they are elderly, so some strong tea is not suitable for them.
It seems that tea is the only way to cook.
This way, you can satisfy the other person while also taking their physical condition into consideration.
First, brew the green tea with hot water at about 80 degrees.
After one minute, when the tea leaves begin to expand, pour out the first batch of tea and put it in the refrigerator to freeze quickly.
Add hot water of about 75 degrees again for the second brewing.
This time, the Yamabuki flower petals should also be added.
When a faint tea fragrance emanates, pour out the tea again.
Make the final brew.
Pour the tea brewed three times into the prepared jelly.
Stir gently until transparent, then put it into the freezer.
While waiting for the tea jelly to form, brew the remaining tea leaves and Yamabuki flowers.
This forms the accompaniment of tea jelly, tea soup.
The temperature in the freezing chamber dropped rapidly.
The rapid temperature change of the tea soup will firmly lock the tea fragrance and floral aroma into the tea jelly.
When the time comes.
take out.
The crystal clear tea jelly is like chewy jelly.
Qingye raised his hand and swung his sword.
Each piece seems to be displayed on the plate like a work of art.
Even the Yamabuki petals wrapped in each piece are like frozen time and space.
If you look closely, you can see that each petal is perfectly stretched.
The simple tea cuisine is now complete.
Plate and serve.
“Master, your meal is ready.”
Qingye moved the curtain aside, looked at the old man who was still sitting there and smiled.
A crystal clear crystal was served on the table.
Next to it is a cup of light tea that looks clear but is full of fragrance.
“oh?!”
Seeing the food he had never seen before, Nurarihyon also became interested.
I asked curiously:
“Could you please introduce me?”
Qingye smiled and nodded: “This is tea jelly, made by mixing tea and jelly.”
“The petals added inside are Yamabuki flowers.”
“After all, this season is when the Yamabuki flowers bloom.”
Listening to Qingye’s explanation.
Nurarihyon couldn’t help but nodded.
Without saying a word, he picked up a piece of tea jelly with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
“Hmm…this smell!!”
Nurarihyon’s first feeling after eating the tea jelly.
It was as if he had returned to his youth when he led the Nura clan in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
That time… is a long time ago.
It was so far back that he himself could hardly remember it anymore.
Is this the special thing about the powerful ‘mind’ in this kid?
“What’s your name, kid?”
Pulling himself back from his past emotions, Nurarihyon looked at Aoba seriously.
As the current general of Nura Group, he will not allow himself to be too sad.
“Is it still to your taste?”
Qingye smiled shyly: “My name is Qingye.”
“Mm, it tastes very good.”
Nurarihyon nodded, then pondered for a moment:
“There are too few humans like you these days…”
“Are you interested in working for the Nura Group?”
Chapter 17: The former lord of demons and monsters? A girl with the scent of mountain flowers? (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 17: The former master of demons and monsters? The girl with the fragrance of mountain flowers? Pictures and text
“Well, if you like, come to the store.”
Qingye shook his head and refused the old man’s invitation.
He likes life here very much.
I don’t want to join any organization, it would be very troublesome.
“You really refused without hesitation…”
Nurarihyon chuckled lightly.
“But, boy, do you know who I am?”
“It would be very embarrassing for me to reject me like this.”
As Hua Piao spoke, a mist as black as ink began to emerge from his body.
The image of the old man just now completely disappeared, and instead appeared in the house…
He is a handsome young man with long flowing hair and dark snake patterns at the corners of his eyes.
“oh!?”
Aoba watched Nurarihyon’s transformation, his face filled with curiosity: “So… hair really does grow from the head?”
Nurarihyon: “…”
He looked at Qingye angrily: “Aren’t you afraid?”
“I’m a monster!”
Moreover, he was the great monster who once defeated the strongest monster in Kyoto, Yuyuko, and became the lord of ghosts and monsters!
He is also the general commander of the Nura clan.
Nurarihyon, Nurarihyon!!
Such a famous monster is in front of you, but you only care about his head and hair! ?
And say one more thing!
The head looked like that because of an injury in youth.
Aoba couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw Nurarihyon’s frustrated look.
“Monsters and such, it’s okay.”
“I don’t hate it.”
“After all, not all monsters are bad, just like not all people are good.”
Nura Sakura was stunned after hearing Aoba’s words.
This kid…why does he look a bit like that bastard from the Yin-Yang family?
Moreover, even if he showed his true monster appearance.
There was no trace of fear or even ‘fear’ on Qingye’s body.
It shows that he is really not afraid!
“Well, you’re very much my cup of tea, but are you really not joining the Nura Group?”
“We in the Nura group are treated very well!”
“At least……”
Nurarihyon took a special look at this izakaya which looked very ordinary.
“Better than this tavern of yours.”
This izakaya is really too shabby.
It’s totally unworthy of Qingye’s craftsmanship.
“Really, there’s no need…”
Aoba shook his head and looked at Nurarihyon with some curiosity:
“Old man, if you are a monster, then you have lived for a long time, right?”
“certainly!”
Nurarihyon angrily reverted to his old man form.
“According to what you humans say, it was probably only a few hundred years ago.”
“Back then, Tokyo was still called Kyoto…”
This time, it was Aoba’s turn to be surprised.
This is one of the reasons why Qingye would rather open a store even if he doesn’t earn much.
It’s really fun to communicate with so many people who have stories.
Near the early morning hours.
A man and a demon were happily communicating.
It’s just that most of the time it’s Nurarihyon who’s talking.
“So Mr. Huapiao’s former lover was a princess?”
Aoba was amazed at Nurarihyon’s experience.
At the beginning, he didn’t expect that the other party would have such a miraculous past.
“Hahaha, that’s right!”
“Hime Sakura was a very respected princess back then!!”
Hua Piao was very happy to see Aoba’s surprised expression.
This kid still feels surprised.
“Then…Mr. Slippery must have been very lonely during these years.”
Compared to Nurarihyon’s laughter.
Qingye could actually sense the nostalgia hidden deep in the old man’s eyes.
Seeing your lover grow old and die over time.
He felt terrified just by thinking about it.
Nurarihyon’s voice suddenly stopped.
His gaze also shifted from Qingye to the tea in front of him.
Looking at the image of the old man reflected in the tea, a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lonely?
Sometimes I miss it just by watching the cherry blossoms falling.
But suddenly.
Black fog rose.
A young figure suddenly appeared beside Qingye and looked at him jokingly.
Hearty laughter filled the entire izakaya.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
“What do you take me for?!”
“I’m the general commander of the Nura Clan!”
“He’s the man who carries all the monsters of the Nura Clan on his back!”
“How can I feel lonely?”
When Qingye looked in the direction of the sound, the black mist had already disappeared.
And when he came to his senses and looked at the table.
A cherry blossom petal fell on Nurarihyon’s seat.
On the table, there was a sentence that seemed to be written in ink, which made Qingye laugh and cry.
‘The food is very good, I’ll come again next time.’
“This old man hasn’t paid yet.”
Qingye looked at the petal that was out of season and smiled helplessly.
Is he really worthy of being called a cunning ghost?
It’s justifiable not to pay after eating.
“Next time you come, I’ll definitely rip you off.”
Clear the dining table.
Looking at the sky which was already beginning to turn pale, Qingye stretched lazily.
“Hmm~~~”
Let out a sigh of relief.
Aoba opened the shop door and turned off the sign light that had been on all night.
There weren’t many customers at this time.
But it lasted all night.
He jumped up and down on the spot as if relaxed.
“Eh? You don’t look too tired yet?”
This is probably also the result of physical improvement.
Even after not sleeping all night and fighting with bad guys and ghouls, I didn’t feel tired at all.
It seems that the days of opening a store are gradually getting better.
Qingye, feeling that his future was bright, hummed a little tune, closed the shop door, and returned to the kitchen to prepare to clean.
“Excuse me, can we eat now?”
A slightly charming voice sounded in the front hall.
Um?!
What’s going on?
Didn’t I close the door?!
Besides, why don’t you go to a breakfast shop at this time and come to an izakaya?
Don’t you know that the chefs who are about to get off work are the most resentful?
Although Qingye didn’t have much resentment, he was still very unhappy that he was disturbed when he was getting ready to get off work.
He opened the curtain and looked at Qingye from the back kitchen.
I just smelled a special scent of mountain flowers wafting over.
Looking at the seat where the slippery old man had just sat, a young girl in a black JK school uniform was standing there.
She had long black hair that reached her waist, and a pair of black eyes that seemed to have no highlights.
The whole person seemed to be surrounded by darkness.
Depression, gloom, aging, death…
It seemed that he did not see any beauty in this girl that belonged to her age.
“Hello, what would you like to eat?”
Seeing this, Qingye, who was empathetic, softened his voice.
Afraid of disturbing her.
But the scene that followed immediately made Qingye’s eyes widen.
The girl, who seemed to have emerged from darkness, smiled faintly for a moment.
I don’t know when he walked straight through the front hall and came in front of Qingye.
The corners of his mouth were only slightly raised.
But even Qingye couldn’t resist that charm.
“I think…”
“Eat your heart out.”
Accompanied by soft words.
A hint of the fragrance of mountain flowers permeated Qingye’s lips.
Chapter 18: Forced by a Fox Demon Girl! Purification? (Old Version)
Zongman: This is a pub, you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 18 was forced by the “fox demon” girl! Purification? Picture and text
Black pupils
There is also an elegant fragrance like mountain flowers.
The thing that drilled into his mouth like a poisonous snake seemed to be plundering everything crazily.
besides…
My body feels so heavy, as if I am tied up by something?
I’m also very hungry…
wrong!
So hungry!!
I really want to eat!!!
The head seemed to be surrounded by something furry.
Under a strong feeling of hunger.
Qingye struggled to open his eyes.
What catches the eye.
It was pitch black.
Turn your perspective slightly…
A breathtaking whiteness struck his brain.
Not only white.
It seems to have a special fragrance that only Yamabuki flowers have.
This is something a chef would never make a wrong judgment on.
Driven by hunger and life instinct, he subconsciously opened his mouth.
Awooo~
Hiss… Is this some new dish?
The taste is like bread.
Very soft and a bit chewy.
However, even though he already had a super sense of taste, he still couldn’t taste what ingredients were used.
“Hmm~~~”
A soft humming sound slowly woke Qingye’s brain, which seemed to have shut down.
then.
My mouth seems to…
Is this bread juicy?
Did you use the soup dumpling method?
“No, impossible?!”
“I have already succeeded, why am I still…”
Qingye seemed to hear some kind of howling in his ears, but before he could make out what it was.
His body relaxed and a limp body fell directly into his arms.
[Successful interaction with ‘special object’][Awakening Skill ‘Purification’]“Interaction…successful?”
Looking at the virtual panel in front of him, Qingye’s mind became completely clear.
Shouldn’t I be in the kitchen…guests…
Eat you… black pupils… white tail…
I remember now.
I remember everything clearly.
“Is this guy a fox demon!?”
Qingye suddenly jumped up from the ground.
Plop.
The ‘fox demon’ seemed to have fainted and showed no signs of waking up.
and……
That touch of white.
“cough!”
Qingye’s eyes were wandering, and he silently stepped forward to help pull down the skirt.
Then he moved a little further away.
Looking at the girl collapsed in his shop, he rubbed his head and had no idea what to do.
“Is it Mr. Huapiao’s fault?”
This is the only thing Qingye could think of.
Among the guests last night, only the Nura clan’s general was a youkai.
Even the timing matches.
As soon as Nurarihyon left, this “fox demon” came looking for him.
“As expected of a canine monster, right?!”
The nose is really useful.
But why after the interaction, what we get is purification instead of super sense of smell?
Qingye looked at the skills on the panel, his face full of confusion.
[Purification: Clear away distracting thoughts and return to your true self]“hiss…”
“Forget it, let’s think about what to do with this guy.”
Every Qingye knew those eight big characters.
But he couldn’t understand it at all.
Clear away distracting thoughts?
Does he have any distracting thoughts that need to be cleared away?
Since you are not cultivating immortality, there is absolutely no need for that.
As for the return itself…
That’s even more mysterious.
When it comes to things that require deep thinking, Qingye always takes a casual approach.
Just leave it like that.
Who knows, maybe one day I’ll suddenly remember it.
By the way, this is called enlightenment in stories about cultivating immortals.
It just corresponds.
Aoba waved his hand to disperse the panel, and then his eyes moved to the girl lying on the ground.
“Oh…it’s really a big trouble.”
Not only mature women are troublesome now, even young girls like this are troublesome!
Seeing that the other party still showed no signs of waking up.
Qingye then moved forward, picked up the girl from the ground by the waist, and placed her on a bench in the front hall.
It wouldn’t be very comfortable, but at least it was better than lying on the ground.
but……
Look at the slightly wrinkled JK uniform and the protruding belly.
In desperation, Qingye brought a thin blanket from the second floor and gently covered the girl with it.
After doing all this, Qingye nodded with satisfaction.
But it only took a moment.
He knocked his forehead for no reason.
This guy is a ‘fox demon’!
I’m also worried that she might catch a cold.
“I’m still too kind.”
Qingye laughed at himself helplessly.
After all, a good horse is ridden, and a good man is ridden…
Being ridden too?!
Thinking about what happened last night and early this morning.
Qingye’s face was even more speechless.
“Boom—boom—boom!”
The bell rang seven times.
Is it seven o’clock already?
Qingye untied the white apron around her waist that was torn by something and turned off the light in the kitchen.
Then he walked out of the kitchen and came to the bar table.
After wiping the table again, he turned off the lights in the restaurant.
At this time, it is still bright even with the lights off.
Walk out of the store.
Aoba turned the sign over to the closed side.
Lock the shop door again.
Then he pulled down the roller shutter above the shop.
The store was now completely dark.
The izakaya, which had been open for a night, was about to close.
Originally, Qingye always needed to sleep for a while after opening the store all night.
But today he is particularly energetic.
There is absolutely no sign of being tired.
The gluttony skill greatly improves his physical fitness and is considered to be the most useful skill.
And after being pushed down by the ‘fox demon’.
I felt very hungry, but I don’t know what I ate and I felt full of energy again.
Although he had some guesses, Qingye didn’t think too much about it.
He moved his own exclusive mount – a bicycle with a vegetable basket – out from the backyard.
I originally bought it last night.
But after being attacked by ghouls, no one knew where they were thrown.
I had to rely on the few remaining materials to barely cover last night’s expenses.
So, I still have to go buy some vegetables today.
Besides, he usually adheres to the principle of preferring more to less.
Even if there is enough food in the freezer for the next day, I will still buy some.
This can also avoid a lot of trouble.
For example, the large-scale dishes that Miss Fenghua and her friends prepared last night.
Going to the market to buy groceries every day is also something Qingye likes to do.
You can get some fresh air and see a lot of new things.
It seems that today is not possible.
Qingye had just pushed the cart up the stairs and had not yet turned the alley when he met a familiar face.
even……
More than one!
“no…”
“Did you discuss this?”
Looking at the people who appeared in front of him, Qingye rubbed his brows helplessly.
“Ahem, sorry, Aoba-kun.”
Inspector Megure coughed twice and glanced at Akio Furukawa, who was standing beside him with his hair standing on end and looked sleepy.
“Megure! You’ve gone too far by disturbing Sanae and I’s nap!!!”
Uncle Furukawa had his eyes squinted and was not fully awake yet. His hands were still scratching his clothes.
Who told me to be so short-sighted? Why did I choose this guy as my best friend in high school?
“Aoba, this guy wants to talk to you about the violent incident last night.”
Akio Furukawa just closed his eyes and left, completely ignoring the helpless look on Inspector Megure’s face.
Halfway through the journey, he seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Megure with a gloomy face:
“By the way, come to the bakery when you’re done.”
“Sanae made a lot of breakfast bread just for you…”
Watching Uncle Furukawa run away.
Aoba glanced at Inspector Megure with a hint of sympathy, then turned his gaze to the two people who had some unpleasantness last night.
“So…what do the two Investigators want to talk to me about?”
Mado Wuxu also smiled.
He hunched over, looking at Qingye with suspicion.
Amon Kotaro next to him was straightforward: “Mr. Aoba, didn’t you encounter anything strange last night?”
“Like ghouls and such…”
Chapter 19 Who said this bread is not delicious? Sanae’s bread is the best!!! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 19 Who said this bread is not delicious? Sanae’s bread is the best!!! Picture and text
“Well…”
Aoba looked at Kotaro Amon with speechless eyes.
Then he looked at Mado Wuxu.
“Mr. Mado, are the requirements for your prosecutors too low?”
Mado Wuxu was stunned when Aoba called his name.
Always.
As a prosecutor, he is mostly hated wherever he appears.
Unexpectedly
I attacked Qingye last night, how could he still joke with me?
“Sorry, Aoba-kun.”
“Amon-kun has just become a prosecutor and is not familiar with some things.”
As a prosecutor.
They are the ones who specialize in investigating ghoul incidents.
Coming here now to inquire about the whereabouts of Aoba Ghoul is a bit lax.
“Nothing, I don’t know much about ghouls.”
After receiving an apology from Mado Wuxu.
Qingye didn’t make things too difficult.
After all, this is their job.
“But you can investigate this matter together with Inspector Megure.”
“Last night, when I was walking to the ‘Lily of the Valley’ district, I first encountered some delinquent boys blocking the road. Then, a man in a suit came out and said he wanted to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Busujima family.”
“I didn’t want to cause any trouble, so I just taught them a lesson.”
“That’s when that ghoul appeared too.”
“Although he was beaten away in the end…”
After hearing Qingye’s explanation, the three of them nodded in understanding.
So that’s how it is.
But, there seems to be something wrong in these words?
Amon Kotaro’s face was filled with astonishment, and he looked at Aoba in disbelief:
“Mr. Aoba, are you saying that you fought off that ghoul last night?!”
“Well, what’s the problem?”
“No, that’s a ghoul!”
“Uh…that ghoul wasn’t very strong. Besides, I held off three ghouls by myself last night.”
“That’s different…”
Kotaro Amon was a little excited.
“Alright, Amon-kun!”
Mado Wuxu next to him stopped Yamon, and Asanoba nodded very gentlemanly.
“I think I already know the situation.”
“Thank you for the news, Aoba-kun.”
Qingye also nodded: “It’s okay, mainly because this is an izakaya, and I hope you are here to drink.”
“Hahaha, as long as there are no ghouls, we will definitely come to bother you every day.”
After looking at Aoba deeply, Mado turned around and left.
The same is true for Kotaro Amon.
“Thank you for the information, Mr. Aoba, but this matter is actually related to Councillor Busujima’s only daughter…”
Inspector Megure patted his slightly fat belly, obviously embarrassed.
As long as the members of parliament are involved, this matter will definitely be troublesome!
But now the most important thing.
The first step is to pass the news back to the headquarters and ask the Inspection Office to strengthen inspections of the “Lily of the Valley District”.
But his idea was good.
Behind him, someone was already waiting.
“Hey! Megure!!”
“Megure, long time no see.”
“And Aoba-chan, good morning!”
Hearing the two people’s voices, Inspector Megure’s fat body seemed to tremble.
Seeing this, Qingye also spoke and looked towards the two of them.
“Good morning, Sanae-san.”
Aunt Sanae, dressed in simple autumn clothes, looked at Aoba with an especially kind smile on her face.
Uncle Furukawa must have saved the world in his previous life to be able to marry such a gentle sister Sanae.
“Hahaha, Megure, didn’t you forget what I just told you?”
When Uncle Furukawa saw that Megure had not left yet, his eyes almost lit up.
He opened the bag of bread in his hand without saying a word and almost fed it to Inspector Megure’s mouth.
“This is the love bread Sanae made specially for you because she heard you were coming!”
“Even I haven’t tasted it!!”
Hearing what Uncle Furukawa said, Aunt Sanae’s face flushed like a young girl, and she covered her face in embarrassment:
“oops!”
“It’s not as good as Qiu Sheng said!”
After saying that, he seemed to remember something.
Aunt Sanae also handed the bag she was carrying to Aoba.
“Oh, and this one is for Xiao Qingye.”
“This is a reward for saving Xiao Nizi last night!”
Look at the bread bag in front of you.
Beads of sweat appeared on Qingye’s forehead.
“Ah… uh, there’s still mine?”
If his cooking skills break through level 4, it would have broken the limits of human beings.
Then Auntie Sanae’s special bread…
It is definitely a level that breaks the limits of human taste buds!
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong? Aoba-chan doesn’t like it?”
Seeing that Aoba was reluctant to take it, Sanae’s face was visibly sad.
Those eyes looked as if they were about to burst into tears in the next second.
“No! How could that be!”
I felt the warning gazes from Aunt Sanae and Uncle Furukawa next to me.
Aoba could only smile and accept the bread.
“Hahaha, Qingye is indeed the best kid on this street!”
“If Nagisa wasn’t still a little young, I would have wanted her to marry you earlier.”
Well…
That’s not necessary.
Qingye quickly shook his head.
Although Nagisa is very cute, he doesn’t want to be stared at by a man who is obsessed with his daughter…
Isn’t that right, Uncle Furukawa?
“Qingye, don’t you want to try the bread?”
After hearing Sanae’s suggestion, Uncle Furukawa’s eyes instantly locked on Aoba.
“Ahem, I’ll just…”
“Try it, I added Xiaoqingye’s favorite mango in it.”
Aunt Sanae’s sparkling eyes looked at Aoba with great anticipation.
This… is really impossible to avoid?
Looking at the bread in his hand, Qingye opened his mouth helplessly.
“Hello, Mr. Aoba.”
Suddenly a familiar female voice was heard.
Qingye quickly looked back.
It was the girl who came to pick up Erina Nakiri last night.
I think it’s called Feishazi?
“Um… may I ask your name…”
Feishazi is the other person’s name, and it would be inappropriate to call him by his name directly.
So it’s a bit difficult.
“Xinhu, Xinhu Feishazi, just call me Xinhu.”
Feishazi is very good at observing people’s words and expressions.
Without waiting for Qingye to finish, she bowed slightly and spoke.
“Excuse me, Miss Xinhu, what can I do for you?”
When hearing Qingye’s question, Xinhu Hisako’s face turned serious.
Those beautiful eyes were filled with seriousness and solemnity, completely free of any doubts about Qingye’s cooking skills from last night.
“Very presumptuous.”
“But the Commander-in-Chief and Erina-sama are very eager to see you.”
Qingye was stunned for a moment.
It seems…his relationship with the Food Demon King isn’t close enough to invite each other?
“Ah? If it’s just a thank you thing, forget it.”
He and Nakiri Senzaemon had never met each other.
We met for the first time last night.
If it’s just about saving Erina, then there’s really no need to go.
After all, Erina was just unlucky to be caught by Kamishiro Rize, and she just happened to be lucky enough to meet him.
“I’m so sorry.”
“I don’t know why the commander-in-chief invited Mr. Aoba.”
“But please consider this. The Commander-in-Chief really wants to meet with you, Mr. Aoba.”
“Besides…”
Arata Hisako thought for a moment, his tone a little subtle.
“Erina-sama, I also said that I hope you can come over.”
As Erina Nakiri’s personal secretary, she must have invited Aoba with Erina’s intentions.
And the other party’s etiquette is quite good.
Seeing the girl’s sincere invitation, Qingye thought about it and made a decision.
I just wanted to buy some groceries and get some fresh air.
Then it’s okay to accept this invitation.
After all, Senzaemon is Erina’s elder, and it is difficult to refuse an invitation from an elder.
“Okay, but I hope to come back earlier. The vegetables in the market are fresher in the morning.”
Aoba still missed his izakaya.
“Please rest assured, the Totsuki Specialty Food Company will provide you with the top-quality ingredients you need today.”
Listening to Feishazi’s words, Qingye felt a little happy.
Someone is offering top-quality ingredients for free, which is very attractive to Qingye.
After all, he is still a chef at heart.
“Okay, wait a moment, I’ll put the bike back.”
Aoba pushed his bicycle down the stairs.
But he was stopped by Gu He.
“Leave these small matters to me. A group as big as Totsuki has come all the way to you, so it must be something important. Go quickly.”
Uncle Furukawa took the bicycle and carried it directly to the bottom of the stairs.
“If Aoba goes, it will be inconvenient to bring bread with you.”
Aunt Sanae also walked over to Aoba and helped him tidy up his collar and hair.
“If you go to see the elders, you have to behave yourself.”
“Please leave the bread here with me first.”
Aoba felt Aunt Sanae’s concern and his eyes were stunned.
Then he immediately smiled and shook his head.
Open the bread and bite into it.
“How can I let Sanae-san’s kindness go to waste? I’ll just treat it as breakfast.”
He suddenly froze while eating bread.
“What’s wrong?!”
“Is the bread not tasty?”
Aunt Sanae saw Aoba staring at the panel, looking a little nervous.
She got up early in the morning to prepare this.
The taste has been tested by Qiu Sheng, so there should be no problem.
Feel the softness and mango aroma on your taste buds.
Qingye seemed to understand something.
He quickly took a few more bites of bread and swallowed them, laughing:
“How could it be!”
“Who said Sanae-san’s bread isn’t delicious?”
“This bread is amazing!”
“I think Sanae-san’s bread is the best bread in the world!!”
Chapter 20: Aoba Takes Advantage! Confused Secretary! (Old Version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 20: Aoba is taken advantage of! The confused secretary! Illustrations
The moment you swallow the bread.
The panel in front of Aoba floated.
He could clearly see that the level of ‘Super Taste’ slowly became level 2!
Auntie Sanae’s bread is truly the best in the world!!
Just a piece of bread can upgrade your taste buds. Isn’t this better than any glowing food?
“Really?!”
Seeing Aoba wolfing down the food, tears instantly welled up in Sanae’s eyes.
With tearful eyes, she looked at the stunned Kogawa Akio, then pounced on him.
“Qiu, Qiu Sheng!”
“Aoba really likes my bread!!!”
When Koga Akio saw that Aoba’s expression did not seem fake at all, he was so shocked that the cigarette butt in his mouth fell to the ground.
Can you honestly say that Sanae’s bread is delicious?!
Qingye, you have really grown up!
I’m a man now!!
Uncle Furukawa hugged Sanae and gave Aoba a thumbs-up from behind.
“Sanae-san, Furukawa-san, I’m leaving now.”
Seeing this scene, Qingye felt warm in his heart.
After waving goodbye.
Then he and Xinhu Feishazi walked towards the alley.
At this time of day, the brothel has already closed.
Apart from the people going to work, Ainosuke Street is very deserted.
At the entrance of the alley, there were only Aoba and Arato Hisako.
“By the way, Miss Xinhu, can you send it back?”
Aoba suddenly thought of a question.
This made Xinhu Hisako in front tremble slightly.
“Yes, please rest assured, Mr. Aoba.”
The girl’s answer was somewhat low and helpless, but Qingye was not listening carefully at the moment.
I was stunned looking at the luxury car in front of me.
Two lifetimes.
This might be the first time he rode in such a luxury car that he had never even seen before.
Totsuki Academy.
The largest culinary academy in Tokyo.
It is also a cradle of chefs that is renowned throughout the world.
Aoba works as a chef.
Naturally, I will pay attention.
However, although Erina and Senzaemon both invited him, he still preferred to stay in that small izakaya by himself.
It’s probably his stubbornness as a chef.
“Mr. Aoba.”
Aoba, who was staring blankly at the scenery receding outside the car window, was interrupted by the words of Arato Hisako.
“What’s wrong?”
Aoba turned his head and looked at the girl beside him.
Luxury cars come with drivers.
So Arata Hisako sat next to him.
“May I ask…is that bread really that delicious?”
New Book Feishazi looked at the uneaten bread in Qingye’s hand with some confusion and hesitation.
She is a qualified professional secretary.
But fundamentally, he is a professional chef.
That’s why he was so hesitant and embarrassed to ask Aoba questions.
Whether it was Erina-sama’s attitude towards Aoba last night, or the glowing dish Aoba made after returning to Totsuki.
She was extremely curious about Aoba himself.
It looks like just ordinary bread, why would Aoba say that?
What’s the best bread in the world?!
Could it be more delicious than the glowing food that Mr. Aoba makes himself?
“Of course you can, but do you mind if I bite it?”
Qingye supported his head with one hand and handed the eaten bread to Hisako with the other hand.
His face seemed unreal in the morning sunlight.
He is a little handsome at this moment.
“No, I don’t mind…”
Feishazi looked at the place where Qingye had bitten her, and her face turned a little red.
He didn’t dare to look at Qingye’s face.
The moment when the glowing dish, golden egg fried rice, appeared in front of her last night.
She just knew it.
Qingye stood there like a towering and inaccessible mountain.
That was a height she would never be able to reach in her lifetime.
Not to beat myself up, but that’s the truth.
She is a person with clear and long-term cognition and will not jump to conclusions.
Because of this, she became even more curious about the food that Aoba praised.
“I’m sorry to bother you.”
Xinhu Hisako blushed and tore off a small piece of the bread he had bitten and put it in his mouth.
Then
“Wow…Wow!!!”
Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, astringent…
It was as if all the flavors in the world gathered on the taste buds on the tip of the tongue in an instant, and started to compete with each other!
This is not a piece of bread!
It’s clearly like an overturned jar of seasoning mixed together, then added with flour and rushed directly into your mouth, pulling out your tongue, ravaging it, and then tying it into a knot!
“cough–!”
“Cough cough cough——!!!”
Feishazi, who had no resistance to this taste, covered her mouth and her eyes completely lost their luster.
It’s as if I have lost all hope in this world.
“Hello? Shinto?!”
Qingye looked at the red sand that had lost its color and felt a little panicked.
It’s not like he hadn’t eaten Aunt Sanae’s bread before he was purified, so it can’t be that scary, right?!
“No, nothing.”
Feishazi, who was lying on her legs with her mouth covered, forced herself to stand up and waved at Qingye.
Then…
The whole person fell directly onto Qingye’s thighs.
“Sorry…I’m being rude.”
Hisako, who had been completely defeated by Sanae Bread, was completely exhausted.
How can such food exist in this world?
devil!
Absolutely the devil!!
Feeling the softness on his legs, Qingye wanted to avoid it.
But when I think that the girl became like this because she ate Sanae bread, I can’t bear it.
Just let her be.
Feishazi, who was lying on Qingye’s thigh, had already flushed red on her face.
The special fragrance emanating from Qingye made her forget the smell just now.
turn out to be…
Mr. Aoba smells so good!
Lady Erina specially invited him, could it be because she likes him?
If Mr. Aoba becomes Erina-sama’s husband in the future, then as his personal secretary, I won’t be able to resist even if I want to, right?
A short drive away.
Feishazi seemed to have already constructed her own happy life in her mind.
until……
Qingye noticed that the red sand on his legs was getting redder and redder.
Even those little hands started to behave unruly.
Just a little bit.
“Ouch~!”
“Ms. Arata, how long will it take us to get there?”
The hand knife fell.
Feishazi stood up with her hands covering her forehead, the blush on her face had not faded at all. She looked at Qingye and the ever-changing scenery outside the window with a dazed look.
Only then did I remember what I had just done.
“ah!”
He stood up suddenly from his seat.
As a result, his head hit the roof of the car again.
The whole person began to pounce towards Qingye uncontrollably.
“Hiss—it hurts!”
Feishazi covered his head with his hands, his eyes completely clear.
The etiquette of being a personal secretary was ingrained in him, and before he could even grasp the situation, he bowed and apologized.
“Mr. Aoba, I’m so sorry!”
“you……”
Xinhu Hisako didn’t finish his words.
Suddenly, I felt a warm sensation coming from the front?
Lower your head slightly.
Look down.
Just then, I met a pair of resentful eyes staring at me.
besides.
Mr. Aoba seemed to want to speak.
“you…”
Chapter 21 Feishazi, why are you blushing? (Old version)
Zongman: This is a pub, you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 21: Feishazi, why are you blushing?
Luxury cars drove along the way.
In the partitioned back seat, Feishazi’s face was red all the way to her neck, and she sat very stiffly by the window.
With her arms clasped together, her fingertips, as tender as scallions, tightly grasped the hem of her school uniform, and she whispered:
“Mr. Aoba didn’t mean it.”
“Feishazi, calm down, you must calm down.”
The girl’s low whispers continued to reach Qingye’s ears, whose physique had strengthened.
This made him even more speechless.
You’re just sitting here without moving, okay?
It turned out that he did it on purpose.
As expected, she is a girl of the same age as Kasumigaoka.
trouble.
Qingye didn’t want to explain any more about Xinhu Hisako’s constant mumbling.
Let it be.
Look out the car window.
The ever-receding street scene drew his thoughts far away.
The original prosperous appearance of District 20 is no longer visible here.
Totsuki Academy is located on the outskirts of District 19, adjacent to District 20.
This was once the site of old Kyoto.
It is also a very ancient and traditional area.
When Old Kyoto was moved to New Tokyo, many nobles did not relocate.
But still living in this place.
Therefore, this place was once considered to have the richest cultural heritage in Kyoto.
It is also the place that pays the most attention to family and inheritance.
However, with the introduction of modern consciousness, the status and hierarchy that were once obvious have become obscure.
Many families have now transformed themselves and are still active in the world under the name of companies or groups.
It is also an area adjacent to the 20th District.
This area also has a branch of the Procuratorate.
Even many senior officials of the Inspection Office live in District 19 all year round.
After having achieved a status higher than that of ordinary people, the only thing that can satisfy them is their appetite.
As a result, the Nakiri family became a rising star in the 19th district after the old Kyoto.
He ranks among the top in many inherited aristocratic families.
Relying on the special Totsuki Academy in their hands, the Nakiri family has won over many high-end hotel companies or food companies.
The Nakiri family residence is located deep within Totsuki Academy.
A luxury car passes by the gate of Totsuki Academy.
Qingye was surprised at first and then understood.
A place where teaching and imparting knowledge is built so luxuriously.
How could the purpose be so pure?
This luxurious gate is more than just a school gate.
It is more of a ‘door’ that separates classes.
However, these are irrelevant to Qingye.
Run your izakaya well, live a good life and enjoy life.
This is Qingye’s wish.
Nothing else to ask for.
As the car stopped.
Finally, we arrived at the Nakiri family residence.
Aoba and Niito Hisako got off the car one after another.
He looked at the extremely traditional Japanese house in front of him. Fei Shazi next to him took a deep breath and his expression returned to its original calm and dignified state.
“Aoba-kun, please follow me…”
Feishazi hadn’t finished speaking yet.
The door of the Nakiri residence opened directly.
Nakiri Senzaemon and Nakiri Erina walked over quickly, both with very serious expressions.
It seemed as if the person coming to be received was a distinguished guest from some ancient family.
“Mr. Aoba, welcome.”
Senzaemon, wearing wooden clogs, walked up to Aoba with his tall figure to welcome him.
“Mr. Nakiri, you are too serious.”
Aoba was startled.
This guy is the devil of food!
A recognized top chef in the culinary world.
As Erina’s elder, he stepped forward, shook Senzaemon’s hand, and said softly, “I’m invited here. Sorry to bother you.”
“Mr. Store Manager!”
Erina next to her also greeted Aoba.
She originally wanted to ask about the glowing dish that gave her a huge shock yesterday, but she found that Feishazi, who was standing next to her, still had a blush on her face.
As his personal secretary.
She still cares about Feishazi very much, and is one of the few people who has a say in the academy.
But in today’s situation, Feishazi obviously shouldn’t have this kind of expression.
Could it be that she is not feeling well?
“Hisagi, are you…feeling unwell?”
Erina looked at Hisako and asked in confusion.
“Ah?! No, no!” Feishazi hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands to deny it. Even Qingye knew something was wrong when he saw his guilty expression.
“Is it really okay?”
Erina walked over, looked into Hisako’s eyes, and seemed to have thought of a possibility in her mind.
Could it be because Feishazi questioned the store manager’s ability last night and came here with the store manager today?
So I feel a little embarrassed.
“The store manager is a very nice person. I’ll just go and apologize and everything will be fine.”
Erina followed behind Senzaemon and Aoba, speaking into Hisako’s ear.
This made Feishazi feel an indescribable sourness in his heart.
Erina-sama
Feishazi gritted his teeth and prepared to tell the truth.
Suddenly, the commander-in-chief’s voice came from the front:
“Mr. Aoba…are you interested in working at Totsuki?”
“With your strength, you will definitely become the most dazzling star in Totsuki’s history!”
“It’s even possible to become a legend in the culinary world!”
? !
The courage that Feishazi had just about to blurt out disappeared in an instant.
Let Aoba be Totsuki’s teacher?
Doesn’t that mean that Qingye will be my teacher in the future?
At Totsuki, instructors have the power to evaluate and make decisions about their students.
If he’s unhappy, he’ll fire himself from Totsuki…
Feishazi clenched her fingers tightly, and all that popped up in her head was the image of herself being forced to be controlled by Qingye.
His face turned even redder.
“Hisagi, are you really okay?!”
Seeing this, Erina hurriedly took Hisako’s hand and expressed her concern.
She always felt that Feishazi was weird today.
As expected, it’s all because of the store manager.
Aoba, who was concentrating on how to reject Senzaemon, turned around when he heard Erina’s voice behind him.
“Hisagi offended you last night. I hope you can forgive her.”
Erina Nakiri took Hisako’s hand and bowed respectfully to ask.
Feishazi saw this scene and felt pain in his heart.
Even Lady Erina is not spared?
Erina-sama is doing this for me…
I was forced to be under Mr. Aoba…
Even let me join…
Thinking about the three of them working together in Totsuki every day in the future, Hisako’s brain suddenly froze.
He pulled Erina back directly, like a hen protecting her chicks, and guarded Aoba like a thief.
Senzaemon watched this scene and had no idea what was happening between the two.
After all, he was the one who watched Hisako grow up and had been with Erina since she was a child.
He is a very good person.
Otherwise, he would not have agreed to let Hisako be Erina’s personal secretary.
Although it was the first time that Qingye met.
But from Erina’s words and the cooking philosophy he tasted in that dish, he knew very well that Aoba was definitely not the kind of arrogant and lawless person.
So, there is definitely a misunderstanding between these two people.
Chapter 22 Nakiri Erina: Are you two so close? (Old version)
Chapter 22: Erina Nakiri: Are you two really that close?
“Commander Nakiri, could you give me a moment?”
“sure.”
“Miss Xinhu, please come out with me for a moment. We must explain things clearly between us.”
Qingye really couldn’t bear it anymore.
I had already been messing around with Feishazi in the car before, but I didn’t even say thank you.
And was he considered a pervert who took advantage?!
Although Qingye has a good temper, he will not turn a blind eye to slander.
Seeing Qingye’s calm expression, the smile that had been on his face completely disappeared.
I understand that he is really angry.
Nakiri Erina finally reacted and shouted at Hisako:
“If you can’t get the manager’s forgiveness, you can go home.”
ah?!
I…go home?
Arato Hisako felt as if she was dreaming, watching Erina running towards Aoba, with a hint of grievance in her eyes:
“Lady Erina…”
“Fei Sha.”
“Lord Commander-in-Chief!”
“There must be a misunderstanding between you and Mr. Aoba. Just go and clear it up and everything will be fine. I’ll be waiting for you in the living room.”
After saying this, Nakiri Senzaemon also shook his head, sighed, and left.
This made Feishazi’s face turn even paler.
If I can’t complete it, I will definitely be fired!
Thinking of a possibility, Feishazi bit her lip, made up her mind and ran out of the house.
She must not leave Erina-sama!
“Miss Xinhu, have I ever offended you in any way?”
Aoba returned to the car and waited for a while.
He looked at Xinhu Feishazi, who started dropping little pearls as soon as she got on the bus.
“No, no…?”
Feishazi’s eyes were full of grievance, and she seemed to feel nothing even when looking at Qingye’s offended face.
“I’ve been sitting here since I got on the bus. You were the one who insisted on eating the bread, and you were the one who lay on me. Did I ever say a word?!”
Qingye rubbed his eyebrows and helped Feishazi recall.
“You were the one who jumped up, hit the roof of the car, and fell on me. Did I move?”
“Wow…”
I remembered the reason why I pounced on Qingye before.
Feishazi’s face, which was sobbing in grievance, was flushed again.
But even so, she was still a little dissatisfied.
“B-but…you shouldn’t…open…your mouth!”
The girl closed her eyes and mustered up the courage to retort to Aoba.
If you don’t open your mouth at that time, who knows when you will wake up! ?
You want to suffocate me to death, right?
Qingye was helpless and his face darkened:
“Okay, okay!”
“You don’t think you should open your mouth, do you?”
“Try it yourself…”
Qingye went straight to Hisako’s face and pressed both of Hisako’s hands on the roof of the car with his left hand.
His right hand directly pinched Feishazi’s upturned nose.
Xinhu Hisako felt something was wrong and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
She and Aoba were face to face with each other, and she could even feel Aoba’s hot breath on her cheek.
Although it didn’t come directly at her like in adult comics, the impact on her was no less.
Add to that Aoba’s clearly foul scent and eyes.
Her heart trembled and she became even more excited.
When I get excited I want to breathe.
But now Qingye directly pinched the tip of her nose, and a strong feeling of suffocation made her completely unable to resist.
To the outside world, it only took a few seconds.
But to those who are in urgent need of air, these few short seconds feel like years.
Furthermore.
Feishazi’s hands were held down and her legs were clamped, leaving her no room to fight back.
So, based on the desire for air.
She could only look for what would best resolve her pain.
Charge forward!
Zi……
In the silent carriage, a faint and charming sound was heard.
The two switched offense and defense in an instant.
It was Aoba’s turn to widen his eyes.
I couldn’t help but hold the other person’s shoulders with my hands, trying to push him away.
The girl who was aroused by the desire to survive…
But it’s not that easy to deal with.
The girl sat on Qingye and struggled wildly with her hands.
“…your hand…”
Slight sound.
It lasted for nearly half a quarter of an hour.
The girl obviously overestimated her own strength.
He curled up one hand to support his body and pressed it on Qingye.
There is nothing wrong with appropriate contact between opposite sexes.
But Qingye’s body temperature and fragrance continued to come.
She slowly began to feel that something was wrong with her body.
My face gradually became hot and my heart was in turmoil.
My breathing becomes heavier involuntarily…
until–
“Boom boom boom!”
Erina Nakiri stood anxiously outside the car window, knocking on it politely.
With full apology:
“Mr. Manager, Feishazi certainly didn’t mean to offend you.”
“I hope you won’t be angry with her.”
She heard outside the window that Erina-sama was still helping her explain and asking Aoba for forgiveness.
The grievance in Feishazi’s heart rushed up for a moment, and then disappeared.
The force supporting the body suddenly weakened.
“Bang!”
His upper body pressed directly against Qingye’s chest.
???
Even though Qingye has extraordinary concentration, he is not a saint.
Seeing Feishazi buried directly in his arms, his hands couldn’t help but rise up, quietly moved to her back, and patted her gently.
“Let me lean on you for a moment…”
Feishazi sulked in Qingye’s arms and said in a deep voice.
Aoba’s expression was a little strange.
But let’s be honest.
Although it was Feishazi who took the initiative this time, he was the one who got the most benefit later.
It’s not easy to say anything at this moment.
He just held Hisako in his arms and stared blankly at Erina who was waiting anxiously outside.
Another five minutes passed.
“Ugh~~~”
When the car door was opened and the red sand rushed down from above, the blush on her face almost disappeared.
It even looks a little pale.
One hand covered his mouth and the other covered his stomach.
“Eh…Hisako!?”
“Mr. Aoba!”
Seeing Hisako like this, Erina Nakiri looked at Aoba with a puzzled look.
“Don’t worry, I just wanted her to try the special bread.”
Aoba waved the remaining Sanae bread with a smile.
He walked to Arato Hisako’s side and looked at her with a smile.
“Miss Arata.”
“Don’t wrongly accuse people anymore.”
Once again, I felt the sensation of my tongue being forced by an overturned jar of seasoning.
Arata Hisako was also forced to accept his fate.
The pair of brown eyes beneath the pink hair were also smiling, and the fate of being enslaved seemed to have been liberated at some point.
“Thank you for your forgiveness.”
“…I will remember this day well…”
After the two finished talking, they couldn’t help but smile at each other.
Erina Nakiri: ???
Is the relationship between Hisako and the store manager so good?
Did I miss something?
Is it because of the apology I just made?
Chapter 23: Food Wars?! A Problem from the Nakiri Family! (Old Version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 23 Food Wars?! A problem from the Nakiri family!
The Nakiri family residence.
From the living room, we came to the cooking room, which is an important place.
The blonde girl was wearing a pure white chef’s uniform and standing solemnly beside the cooking table.
To her left is a table.
Sitting behind the desk was Senzaemon.
The scene was very quiet.
“Sama Senzaemon, Mr. Aoba has finished washing up.”
Aoba, who was taken to the bathhouse by Arato Hisako to take a bath, couldn’t help but frown.
He originally thought it was just an ordinary thing.
Who knew that after solving the problem of Hisako, Senzaemon asked them to go to the kitchen.
And in the Nakiri family rules.
There is a rule that no matter who enters the cooking room, they must wash their body before entering.
Qingye, who followed the local customs, naturally had no way to refuse.
After quickly finishing the fight in the bathhouse, he was taken to the cooking room by Hisako with watery eyes.
“Come in.”
Senzaemon’s calm and powerful voice sounded.
The door was also pushed open by Xinhu Feishazi.
The girl moved aside to let Aoba go in first.
Aoba stood at the door and saw Erina, who looked ready for battle.
Nothing else to say.
Erina is indeed stunning in her pure white chef’s outfit.
As Aoba stepped into the room, a large figure in a kimono walked towards him.
“Mr. Nakiri, what are you planning to do?”
Aoba asked, looking at Senzaemon calmly.
He now knew that this invitation was not as simple as he thought.
“Qingye-kun, please take a seat first.”
Senzaemon had a faint smile on his face.
With his silver hair and majestic face, he looks like a majestic silver lion.
Aoba sat opposite Senzaemon with a calm expression.
In my previous life, when I was learning the craft from my master, I also met many extraordinary people.
Although Senzaemon’s momentum is strong.
But compared to those people, it is not even a little bit worse.
“Actually, the reason I’m making this presumptuous invitation is because I have something I’d like to ask Qingye-kun.”
“I apologize for interrupting you so much. I beg you to forgive my rudeness, Mr. Qingye.”
Senzaemon apologized to Aoba sincerely.
He supported his knees with his hands and lowered his head slightly.
This is a very solemn apology.
Aoba is just a commoner, but as the head of the Nakiri family, such behavior is enough to scare anyone.
Even though Shinto Hisako was a very competent secretary and had anticipated this, he couldn’t help but feel horrified at this moment.
Erina was equally shocked.
That glowing dish really makes me think highly of the store manager!
“Hmm? Is something wrong?”
Qingye pursed his lips slightly.
He glanced at Hisako and Erina, then spoke calmly.
Feishazi in the distance also felt Qingye’s gaze.
It made her feel a little annoyed.
The eldest lady and the commander-in-chief are still here.
And the look he gave the young lady…
Niito Hisako tightened her white cooking uniform.
Then straighten your body slightly.
This seems to show more of my charm.
“I hope that Aoba-kun can have a food battle with my granddaughter.”
Senzaemon finally revealed his true purpose.
Aoba didn’t say anything.
The atmosphere also turned cold.
When Erina heard what Senzaemon was thinking, she was stunned for a moment, then she stood up in disbelief.
“grandfather!?”
“Didn’t you say that the store manager would be the teacher of Totsuki?”
“Shokugeki…”
Although I really want to, the store manager rejected me very seriously last night!
Erina’s heart is very complicated.
On the one hand, he wants to have a food battle with Aoba, and on the other hand, he wants Aoba to come to Totsuki to teach him.
I want to speak, but I don’t know what to say.
And Senzaemon stared at Aoba with a serious and sincere expression.
Finally, Qingye slowly opened his mouth:
“Shokugeki-shokugeki…”
Food Wars is a special event at Totsuki Academy.
It is to let two chefs compete at the cooking table and then evaluate each other.
It’s essentially a cooking competition.
However, competing on a talent show-like platform is still a great test of the chef’s psychological quality.
If it were Qingye in the previous life, he might choose to give it a try.
After all, who hasn’t been young and frivolous?
But in this life…
Haha, he really doesn’t want to get into trouble.
“IMHO.”
Aoba looked at Senzaemon’s serious expression and slowly shook his head.
“Although Mr. Nakiri’s original intention was good, I think that letting Erina do the Shokugeki now… is not a good idea.”
As an outsider, Aoba doesn’t really understand the atmosphere within Totsuki Academy.
But as a chef.
He believed it even more.
Compared to those so-called star chefs selected from flashy talent shows.
Only chefs who can calm down and grow up after experiencing various positions in the kitchen will have the opportunity to go further on this culinary path.
Qingye’s words made the originally quiet and serious atmosphere suddenly become even more serious.
Food Wars…
It is the most effective assessment for students since the establishment of Totsuki.
This is also a system that Nakiri Senzaemon has always been proud of.
However, he was directly denied by the young man in front of him who was about the same age as his granddaughter.
“Aoba-kun, I know that my presumptuous request is very embarrassing for you, but if Aoba-kun is willing to have a food battle with Erina, then I can try my best to meet Aoba-kun’s request.”
Senzaemon had already anticipated Aoba’s rejection.
After all, he can make that kind of glowing food, yet he is still willing to stay in that shabby tavern.
All this shows that Qingye is not a person who is greedy for fame.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Nakiri.”
In response to Senzaemon’s second request, Aoba simply said sorry with a hint of apology.
I still didn’t agree to the food battle with Erina.
“Qingye-kun, if you have any other conditions, please feel free to tell me. As long as I can meet them…”
“No, Mr. Nakiri, you misunderstood. I refused not because of any other motives, but simply because I felt that Shokugeki Shokugeki would not be beneficial to Erina’s growth.”
“And I don’t want to either.”
Aoba rejected Senzaemon again.
Senzaemon fell completely silent.
Although his eyes looked old, their look was extremely bright and sharp.
After looking at Qingye seriously, he sighed.
The old man’s regret and sorrow are all there.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
Qingye felt that it was not suitable for him to stay here any longer, so he offered to leave.
“Yes, I’m sorry that this invitation has caused trouble for Aoba-kun. Please let Hisako take you back.”
Even if others question my teaching philosophy.
Senzaemon did not get angry because of Aoba’s refusal.
He still maintained a warm and respectful attitude.
But there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
“Thank you, Mr. Nakiri.”
Qingye smiled politely.
He stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door.
Feishazi was already standing at the door, waiting for him respectfully.
Just as Aoba was about to leave, Erina’s voice rang out.
The girl who was rejected from the food battle was now filled with agitation.
She knew that her current cooking skills were not good enough to see Qingye’s back.
But his grandfather came to ask Qingye with such an attitude, but was rejected three times in a row.
This made Erina, who valued the reputation of the Nakiri family very much, feel a sense of being looked down upon.
Coupled with Aoba’s disdain for food battles, it became even more difficult for her to remain calm.
“Nakiri-san, is there anything else?”
Aoba asked doubtfully, looking at the girl who was unable to calm down.
“Mr. Manager, although I don’t know why you hate Shokugeki, can you agree to a request of mine?”
Erina’s tone was restrained and impatient.
It’s like a volcano hidden under the thick ice is about to erupt.
“Eh…”
Qingye, who has always been afraid of trouble, wanted to refuse, but Feishazi poked his lower back with his finger from behind.
Even without looking back, he could still feel the secretary’s extremely strong resentment.
this…
“Okay, go ahead.”
There’s nothing I can do about it. I have to be grateful for what I have received.
He had just taken advantage of it, and he really couldn’t bring himself to refuse.
As soon as he agreed, the poking of fingers behind him turned into a caress, as if he was very happy with Qingye’s decision.
This made Qingye feel like he was teasing a kitten.
“I want to cook a dish here today, I hope you can enjoy it…”
Chapter 24: Golden Egg Fried Rice Remake! Do you also have the Divine Tongue?! (Old Version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 24 Remake of Golden Egg Fried Rice! Do you also have a divine tongue?!
A favored daughter of heaven who was once known as the nightmare of all chefs in Japan.
As long as she labels a chef as having no talent, the life of the chef she is evaluating is over.
And right here.
In the Nakiri family’s cooking room.
This was the first time she asked someone so sincerely to evaluate her cooking.
No matter what her personality was like before.
But when Nakiri Senzaemon saw this scene, the disappointed expression on his face finally changed.
The culinary perspective that was distorted by Nakiri Tsuchiya seemed to have been reversed by the glowing dish that Aoba made last night.
Seeing Erina’s determined expression, Senzaemon made another request to Aoba.
“Aoba-kun, please!”
“Just think of me as an old man taking advantage of my age. Could you please stay a little longer?”
hiss…
It’s really troublesome.
Qingye rubbed his eyebrows, if he had known that he would encounter these things when he came here today.
He would even be willing to eat Sanae-san’s bread for a week.
Right now.
Feishazi, who was half a step away from him, also came up to him.
Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with mist, and they moved closer shyly.
The voice was even more tearful and heartfelt, much more sincere and heartfelt than just now in the car.
“Please help Erina-sama.”
Perhaps because Hisako has been Erina’s secretary for a long time, her temperament is a bit weak.
Even wearing a simple cooking uniform, it can’t be completely hidden.
Looking at the secretary’s delicate appearance standing so close to him, her eyes were filled with a beauty that made one’s heart beat faster.
Qingye’s eyes trembled.
I always feel like I’m being manipulated by my secretary.
Especially the small grapefruit that was beginning to take shape under the secretary and chef’s clothes.
In the end, he had no choice.
Reluctantly, he shook his head and sighed, “Alright.”
“ah!?”
When Erina heard that the store manager finally agreed, the surprise on her face was visible to the naked eye.
He bowed hurriedly towards Qingye, causing the two little watermelons in front of him to move slightly.
“Thank you Mr. Manager!!!”
This time she was in the cooking room she was most familiar with, and she could definitely come up with a dish even more amazing than last night.
If I can satisfy the store manager, maybe I can change his mind.
Erina, who has entered her comfort zone, is like a conductor who composes harmonious flavors in the kitchen.
The knife tip dances lightly and the kitchen utensils collide.
One after another, magnificent poems with perfect flavor combinations that belong only to this divine tongue were born from her hands.
Even Qingye was a chef in both his lives, and was personally taught by the state banquet chef.
He had to admit it.
Erina, who stays in the cooking room, has unparalleled charm!
That was a charm that belonged only to her, like a general commanding the battlefield of taste!!
The three people watching this culinary feast were completely mesmerized by Erina’s cooking skills.
For the secretary, Erina is more like a spiritual support.
He was sent to Erina by his family since he was young, and everything he said and did was just for Erina.
Growing up in such an environment for a long time.
All the qualities displayed by Erina will be regarded as beliefs by Hisako.
This is not a good thing for the secretary’s growth.
but…
After all, the person who chose her was called ‘Erina Nakiri’.
Sometimes, just a surname is enough to make ordinary people unable to match it even if they try their best.
“Why…”
Looking at Erina’s smooth movements, Senzaemon was even more surprised.
As the commander-in-chief of Totsuki, he often serves as a judge for the academy’s food competition and is well aware of the limits of his granddaughter’s culinary skills.
As one of the Ten Greatest Totsuki, she is indeed very strong.
But even among the top ten, Erina’s cooking skills can only be ranked last.
Just by visual perception, he knew that Erina’s cooking skills had improved significantly.
It seems that even if Erina only takes Aoba as a role model, she can grow to an incredible level.
Not long after.
The flames and ingredients collided, and an almost impeccable dish was placed in front of Aoba and Senzaemon.
“Please enjoy!”
Looking at the golden fried rice in front of him, Qingye couldn’t help but smile.
Then he turned his gaze to the blonde girl.
Didn’t you sleep last night?
Is it a special tribute to his luminous cuisine?
Erina Nakiri’s cheeks flushed slightly as she was stared at by Aoba.
Last night’s golden egg fried rice really left a deep impression on her.
Even with the Tongue of God, it was impossible to find any flaws.
Not to mention replicating it with her cooking skills.
The reason she made this dish was simply to get Aoba’s guidance.
I want to see how big the gap is between me and the store manager!
“Hmm~?”
“Let’s get started.”
Seeing this, Senzaemon understood Erina’s meaning and took the lead in tasting it.
Hiss——!
The upper body kimono exploded! !
“The collar exploded…”
Hisako behind her stared at the scene in a daze, then reacted and quickly stepped forward to hug Erina.
“Y-You succeeded!!”
“Ah? Hmm!”
Erina was obviously still in a daze.
In the past, her cooking only made her grandfather’s clothes flutter, but this was the first time that his clothes actually burst.
And this is just a replica of an ordinary dish made by the store manager!
Erina, trying to suppress her surprise, couldn’t help but turn her expectant eyes to Aoba.
“Yeah, very good egg fried rice.”
Qingye first praised it, then scooped a small bowl with a spoon.
Under the expectant and strange looks of the three people, he finished it silently.
Finished eating?
Erina stared at Aoba’s actions in a daze.
“Thank you for the treat.”
Qingye said this with a smile, and there was no follow-up.
“that…”
Erina asked urgently.
“Mr. Manager, how is this dish?”
“It’s delicious.”
Aoba put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and looked at Erina calmly.
“In fact…because of the high-quality ingredients, the flavor is much richer than what I had last night.”
“The rice from the black soil of the East, plus the free-range black-bone chicken eggs, the flavors of each ingredient are perfectly matched.”
“Even the amount of salt is precise to the last millimeter.”
Erina Nakiri was completely stunned where she stood.
“Am I wrong?”
Qingye looked at her expression, feeling a little confused.
“Aoba-kun?!”
“Hmm? Mr. Nakiri, what happened to you guys?”
Nakiri Senzaemon looked at Aoba with a shocked look on his face, shirtless.
It was as if I had seen some strange creature.
“You also have the tongue of God?”
God’s tongue?
Qingye suddenly realized.
Hiss…that’s right.
I forgot I had a super sense of taste.
It’s similar to the Tongue of God.
“No.”
Qingye shook his head in denial: “It’s just that my sense of taste is a little better.”
Can this be described as having excellent taste?!
In addition to shock, there was also an imperceptible shyness in Erina Nakiri’s gilded eyes.
God’s Tongue…
No wonder her divine tongue seems to have evolved a little bit.
So it turns out that the store manager also possesses this ability!
Wouldn’t that mean I’m kissing the store manager indirectly…
The young lady who was in love seemed to have a lot of scenes from love comics popping up in her head.
His eyes began to blur again.
Chapter 25: The former Aoba? Just call me Erina! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 25: The former Aoba? Just call me Erina!
“So, in your opinion, what is missing from this dish?”
Nakiri Senzaemon asked sincerely.
Even though the taste is exactly the same, the cooking concepts behind it seem to be completely different.
Just like a master who has opened up a new school of thought.
The former is a revolutionary innovation, while the latter
It’s just a poor imitation.
What’s missing…
As soon as these words were spoken, Erina’s eyes instantly became much clearer, like a kitten waiting to be fed.
“Then I’d like to ask Mr. Nakiri, what was the original intention of founding Totsuki?”
Aoba did not answer, but shook his head and looked at Senzaemon beside him.
In his opinion.
Whether in public or private, Yuanyue’s most fundamental intention is to train sufficiently excellent chefs.
And food battles are just a means of selection.
It’s just that this method is too cruel.
“The original intention?”
There was a hint of nostalgia on Senzaemon’s old face.
One of the reasons why Totsuki was first established was to allow the Nakiri family to have a business that would allow them to gain a foothold in the 19th district.
Secondly, as someone who has embarked on the path of being a chef, I naturally want to see more talented people emerge from the younger generation.
“Since it is a school, our goal is naturally to train excellent chefs.”
Even now, the Nakiri family has enough business.
But Senzaemon has not forgotten his original intention and still invests a lot of manpower and resources in Totsuki Academy every year.
Even the catering of his own hotel is handed over to Totsuki as an internship to train new chefs.
“So…”
“If we’re trying to cultivate excellent chefs, isn’t it a bit arbitrary to judge the quality of a chef and the level of his or her cooking through a single judging system like shokugeki?”
Aoba looked at Senzaemon with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
And those eyes seemed to have experienced countless years, which even shocked Senzaemon.
“This food battle method is too cruel.”
“I was once an apprentice myself, and I also like to compete with others.”
“Many times, my opponents, friends, and even teachers would lose to me. At that time, I would feel a great sense of accomplishment when I beat them.”
“At that time, I firmly believed that there must be different levels of cooking skills, and there must be differences in good and bad dishes!”
“But then, after some experiences, I realized that based on my superficial understanding of cuisine, I thought that the world’s cuisine was just so-so…”
“It’s like looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.”
When Qingye said this, there was a hint of distant nostalgia in his eyes.
This touch of nostalgia was like the gentle and cold moonlight, directly into the hearts of Erina and Hisako.
For a moment, both the master and the servant were distracted at the same time.
The appearance of the young man in front of me was also slightly blurry.
They seemed to see an adult who had experienced countless hardships but remained calm and wise, sitting in front of them.
Gently telling stories of the past.
“Even the worst cook will have his own customers…”
“What appears on the surface is merely the flavor of various seasonings and ingredients mixed together, but what is engraved deep down is emotion.”
“Some foods are a lifelong obsession and longing, while others are a lifelong taboo and pain.”
“Every dish has its own twists and turns and hidden secrets.”
“Even if the food is terrible, there will always be people who eat it with a smile on their faces.”
“They even rush to finish it and say it’s the best food in the world.”
“Can that kind of food be evaluated simply as good or bad?”
“Can the person who made that dish say anything?”
“I personally believe that the quality of food and chefs never needs too many people to judge.”
“Just make the person you care about, the one who really wants to eat it, smile and say it’s delicious.”
“While the food battle format can certainly help new generations of chefs grow rapidly, the single evaluation standard may be detrimental to their future lives.”
Aoba, as if lost in the depths of his memories, let out a deep breath.
The feeling of being reborn as a human being sometimes gives him the illusion that he is out of tune with this world.
So, I habitually raised the corner of my mouth and smiled:
“Of course, I might be overthinking this. Mr. Nakiri doesn’t need to take my words seriously.”
Many things happened in the past, and many truths were only understood later.
When you are young and energetic, you always feel that you can change the world.
But in the end I realized that not being changed by the world is already a success.
There is no chance to make up for those things even if you want to.
Nakiri Senzaemon remained silent.
Feishazi’s face was already covered in tears.
Erina’s gilded eyes dimmed in an instant, and she watched Aoba’s fingers twisted together at some point.
Girls are in a sensitive period of adolescence.
Empathy is even greater.
When I see the person I admire showing a little weakness, the tolerance hidden in my heart seems to take over all my rationality.
He stared blankly at Qingye, with many words stuck in his chest, wanting to say them but unable to.
Feishazi stretched out her little hand from behind and quietly grabbed Qingye’s arm.
The fact that she could do this in front of Senzaemon and Erina shows that the secretary has already felt the same way.
“Forehead…”
Qingye, who was being held back, felt the gentle hands playing tricks on him from behind, and his expression became even stranger.
Is the secretary so brave?
But he’s also right, he dares to confront me and touch me, he’s probably suppressed by Erina usually.
Sure enough, every secretary has a contrasting side!
“Aoba-kun, I’m grateful for your advice!”
Senzaemon stood up, supported his knees with his hands, and lowered his proud head to the same level as the table.
This blue silver lion, who had never lowered his head in his life in the culinary world, acknowledged Aoba’s philosophy just after Aoba slowly explained it.
“You’re over-praised!!”
Aoba also quickly stood up and helped Senzaemon up with both hands.
Even if you add up the ages of his two lifetimes, he is still not as old as Senzaemon.
This gift really honors him too much.
Erina Nakiri looked as if she was looking at an idol.
Those eyes seemed to shine brighter than the light in the kitchen: “Thank you for your evaluation!”
“Can I… call you Aoba-sensei?”
teacher?!
Qingye was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in amusement: “Just call me Qingye, teacher, you make me sound old.”
“no!”
Erina seems to have her own persistence on this matter.
“Teacher Aoba!”
“It’s a great honor to have received your guidance twice. Please agree to this!”
This moment.
The successor of the Nakiri family revealed her original persistence!
Aoba looked at Senzaemon next to him again.
Seeing Senzaemon looking at him with hope, he knew he couldn’t hide.
I could only nod helplessly.
“Alright, Nakiri-san.”
“Um!!”
When Erina heard Aoba’s agreement, her face was filled with joy, and the tips of her ears were slightly red, which had appeared without her knowing when.
With his hands behind his back, he twisted them together without knowing when, leaned forward slightly and said:
“teacher…”
“Just call me Erina.”
“Then… I’d better obey your command.”
Aoba smiled and extended his hand towards Erina Nakiri.
“Erina.”
Erina jumped like a startled hamster.
He quickly reached out and shook it.
Seeing this, Qingye couldn’t help but laugh at the girl’s cute appearance.
The girl just kept her head down and didn’t dare to raise it.
Her face was flushed.
My heart was beating extremely violently…
Chapter 26: The Store Manager’s Little Secret! Here’s Your Tip! (Old Version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 26 The manager’s little secret! This is your tip!
I finally said goodbye despite Erina and Senzaemon’s attempts to persuade me to stay.
On the way back, Qingye once again enjoyed the secretary’s service.
In the carriage.
The distance between the two is not as far as it seemed at the beginning.
Hisako even took the initiative to approach Qingye.
Those huge eyes stared at Qingye curiously, making the latter feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
“What are you looking at?”
“Ahem… It’s nothing, I just feel like the manager is like two different people sometimes.”
“How can they look like two people?”
Qingye pulled his collar a little harder, revealing his collarbone.
“Manager-kun!!”
Hisako obviously didn’t expect Qingye to play such a big joke.
Staring blankly.
He even swallowed his saliva under Qingye’s strong gaze.
“Hello?!”
“No way, are you really hungry?”
Aoba was amused by Hisako’s blushing face and swallowing saliva.
Just fasten your collar again and sit upright in your seat.
As if I have no desires or demands.
When Feishazi saw the welfare in front of him disappear, he felt like a cat whose toy was taken away.
The pink hair on his head began to tremble.
Staring at Qingye with resentment.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Qingye turned his head to look at Feishazi, as if nothing had happened just now.
“ah!!”
“You are not allowed to tell Erina-sama!”
“etc……”
“Kumi…”
“You’re still growing strawberries?!”
“A little bit…”
Outside the carriage, the sun is shining brightly.
Inside the carriage, the boys and girls playing and playing are full of youthful atmosphere.
Until the luxury car brought Aoba back to Ainosuke Street.
Feishazi blushed as she helped Qingye get out of the car.
“Miss Secretary, have you forgotten something?”
Qingye turned up his collar to cover it slightly.
This made Feishazi even more hesitant.
What’s up?
How could she not remember?
“Ingredients…”
Qingye knocked on the secretary’s head and said helplessly:
“You’re such a reliable secretary around Erina, why do you become so stupid when you’re with me?”
“oh–!”
“Pfft, hahahaha!”
Feishazi felt the warmth coming from the big hand and nodded quickly.
I couldn’t help but feel happy for Qingye’s expression at the moment.
“What’s wrong? Something’s wrong.”
“Manager, it’s like…”
Hisako covered her red cheeks and whispered in Qingye’s ear:
“Like those gigolos in brothels, asking for tips from customers.”
I’ve become a gigolo! ?
Several black lines suddenly appeared on Qingye’s forehead.
Do you really think my place is a sex shop?
Looking at Qingye’s angry expression, Hisako felt closer to him.
It’s completely different from how he evaluated Erina-sama’s cooking.
A store manager like that is too lonely.
She was so lonely that even if she wanted to get closer, it seemed she would never be able to touch the store manager.
so……
“Bo…”
Hisako felt a little excited about the newfound side of Aoba.
After all, there is a difference between how Aoba-kun treats her and how he treats Erina-sama.
This is her store manager’s little secret.
Looking at the face so close to her, the girl’s eyes couldn’t help but soften.
“Please rest assured, Manager, I won’t cheat you out of your tips.”
Oh, forget it.
Qingye couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth as he watched Feishazi, who was jumping around and finally showing some girlish charm.
After leaving the Nakiri family, did I become more like myself?
“Bon voyage, then.”
“Well, Manager, have a good trip.”
The two said goodbye to each other through the car window.
The luxury car gradually drove away.
Qingye also turned around and walked towards his shop.
He has nothing to do every day.
The only thing I have to do every day is to buy groceries.
But there is no need to buy groceries today.
For the rest of the time, Qingye would choose to stay at home.
His home is the second floor of the izakaya, which is located upstairs from the backyard.
The first floor is a store and the second floor is home furnishings.
A single-family building that is very consistent with the traditional Japanese impression.
The overall integrated design makes it very convenient for Qingye to open a shop or take a rest.
I spent nearly three hours at the Nakiri household.
The main thing is that the journey back and forth takes a lot of time.
After all, traffic jams in Tokyo are a daily occurrence…
It’s almost eleven o’clock in the morning.
The brothel shops at the corner of the street were also closed.
Like Aoba, they also work at night, but they have not been strengthened by the gluttony skill.
After a busy night, you need to have a good rest during the day.
During the period of Qingye’s growth, he also received help from these “neighbors”.
When the shop first opened, many neighbors would even make a special trip to order from Aoba’s izakaya.
It also helped Qingye get through the most difficult period.
Passing by the custom shop at the corner of the street.
There are many seats at the entrance of the store.
It is a place where people open the store in the afternoon to clean it, and then sit outside to solicit customers and rest in their free time.
Employees in each store will sit together and share some interesting stories.
Qingye naturally came here to hang out.
Although those older sisters often like to make adult jokes.
But what he said was all about Qingye’s support.
After all, I have a good-looking little brother who cooks delicious food and treats people with impeccable manners.
Apart from being a bit shy, he is an excellent candidate for the role of ‘younger brother’.
So Qingye naturally became the recognized “most handsome brother” among the younger generation on this street.
Over time.
The label of the most handsome man on the street, Aonosuke, was also attached to Aoba.
“Huh?! Aoba-chan, why are you putting your collar up?”
When Qingye passed the last dance hall.
The karaoke bar just opened.
A middle-aged woman walked out.
She had fluffy curly hair, light lychee red hair, and her figure looked a little out of shape.
You can vaguely see some of his youthful appearance.
This is the eldest sister of the entertainment business at the corner of Ainosuke Street.
When I was young, I was tricked into this industry by a man. After I faced the reality, I have remained single ever since.
Now I have my own industry.
At the beginning, she was also one of the people who took the best care of Qingye.
Once, after getting drunk, Qingye brought her a snack platter and she even hugged him and cried.
If she had gotten married and had children normally, the child would probably be as old as Qingye now.
But sometimes fate is really hard to tell
“Good afternoon, Aunt Meiqi.”
“I just went to a friend’s house, so I might have messed it up accidentally.”
Qingye greeted Aunt Meiqi politely.
“You should also pay attention to etiquette when you go to a friend’s house.”
Aunt Meiqi said this as she stepped forward and folded down Qingye’s collar.
result…
“Um!?”
Seeing the strawberry mark on Qingye’s neck, Aunt Meiqi froze.
Then he calmly straightened his collar.
“It seems that Xiaoqingye has grown up. She must get along well with her friends.”
Miqi said to Qingye with a hint of teaching.
Qingye did not refute but just nodded silently.
After a few brief greetings, he left.
He took a few steps and looked back a little strangely.
Why did Aunt Meiqi open the door so early today?
Normally, he never encountered the other person at this time.
He looked at Aunt Meiqi, who seemed to have an unstoppable smile on her lips.
It seems like something happy has happened.
never mind.
Why is he so sensitive?
Qingye turned around and continued walking towards the shop.
Mei Qi was talking on the phone with a smile on her face.
Chapter 27: Aoba is highly anticipated! Senzaemon’s thoughts! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 27: Aoba is highly expected! Senzaemon’s thoughts!
Shinto Hisako got on the car and returned to the Nakiri residence.
At this moment, my heart is far from as calm as it appears on the surface.
Every time she turned her head to look to the other side.
I will always remember how Qingye played with her in the car.
But she was sent to live with the Nakiri family since she was a child, and she had already met countless young masters and daughters of famous and powerful families with Erina.
Those people were dressed gorgeously and spoke elegantly, but no one had ever entered her heart as quickly as they did yesterday and today.
“When he gets into trouble, he’s just like the boys in the books…”
Feishazi’s slender fingers brushed across the leather seat, her gaze paused slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
But can a boy like this really make such exquisite dishes?
And what Aoba said about Shokugeki today?
It’s really mysterious!
Store Manager!!
What Aoba said began to resurface in her mind.
As Erina’s secretary.
Know much more than ordinary students.
Every year… No.
The number of students who are expelled from Totsuki every semester is countless.
There are too many.
She once felt sorry for those people.
But later, as Erina-sama became one of the Ten Elites, the workload increased again.
The number of documents being processed is increasing.
She was also completely numb.
They completely ignore the fact that behind every document there is a real person.
Mingming entered Totsuki with great enthusiasm.
However, they are suffocated by the extremely harsh system.
Everything I once loved chasing.
Here everything seems to have become just a grade on the teacher’s grading sheet.
Perhaps some of these people are destined not to become world-renowned chefs.
However, should we deprive him of the right to become a chef just because he has no chance of reaching the top?
This…isn’t something wrong?
Feishazi looked at the scenery that was constantly receding.
She has always considered herself Erina’s secretary and assistant.
But in the future, Lady Erina’s strength will definitely enable her to reach the top of the world.
By then, if her strength cannot keep up, will she end up like these documents she handles?
She was replaced by another person who dealt with it as numbly as she did.
“Manager, you’re truly shocking…”
Feishazi whispered softly.
Although I only had contact with Qingye for less than a day.
But the feeling that Qingye gave her was something she had never experienced in her life.
It was the first time I rode in a car with a member of the opposite sex.
The first time to have close contact with the opposite sex.
It was the first time that someone of the opposite sex hugged me and kissed me in the car…
Woo~
When thinking of certain scenes, Feishazi’s eyes became moist.
“Miss Xinhu, we’re here.”
The driver’s voice brought Feishazi back to his senses.
We’ve arrived at the Nakiri residence.
She got out of the car, said goodbye to the driver politely, and then walked into the main hall of the house.
She would first report to Senzaemon that Aoba had returned safely, and then go to serve Erina.
And when she walked into the main hall.
But I found that Lady Erina and the Commander-in-Chief were both sitting here.
“Master Marshal, Mr. Qingye has been sent back.”
Hisako spoke respectfully to Senzaemon who was sitting in the main seat.
Erina, who was sitting on the other side, still had a flushed face.
I think he is still happy.
“Well, Mr. Aoba didn’t say anything, did he?”
Senzaemon asked calmly.
Feishazi shook his head and then bowed and replied:
“No, he’s very optimistic about Erina-sama, and he hopes the commander-in-chief won’t take his words to heart.”
Hisako’s words made Senzaemon take a deep breath.
What Aoba said was not that simple.
As Totsuki Academy was established after going through countless storms, Senzaemon’s philosophy will naturally not change easily because of Aoba’s words.
But it cannot be denied.
Those words indeed pointed directly to the shortcomings of the Totsuki Shokugeki system.
He had already made some discoveries since the generation of Nakiri Thistle.
Seiichiro’s departure, Mangi’s distorted view of cooking…
All of this illustrates the limitations of the system.
But he is old.
“Erina, do you have any ideas?”
Senzaemon looked at his granddaughter.
Erina, who inherited the Nakiri family’s divine tongue, is his highly anticipated successor.
The future changes of Totsuki can only depend on her.
Erina didn’t say anything immediately when asked.
Besides the joy of being recognized by Qingye, she was also very restless.
Qingye’s words were undoubtedly another collision of feelings for her.
She cares about winning and losing.
Adhere to the principle of survival of the fittest.
Weak and worthless dishes should be swept into the trash!
But in two cooking encounters with Aoba.
Her culinary perspective was shattered.
Totsuki’s system is like pushing all young chefs into a fighting arena called food wars.
The chains of victory, defeat, and hierarchy constrain their understanding of cooking.
After hearing Qingye’s words, although she thought so, she was still reluctant to admit it.
Her awkward and tsundere personality prevents her from being frank.
After thinking deeply for a while, Erina sighed.
“I think what the store manager said makes sense.”
She admitted it anyway.
It’s just very simple.
This was just a glimpse of her inner turmoil.
When Senzaemon heard Erina’s answer, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but then quickly dropped it.
“Hisagi, what about you?”
“I also think what Mr. Aoba said makes sense.”
Feishazi answered respectfully.
“Okay, then do you still want to go to Mr. Aoba’s restaurant for dinner tonight?”
Senzaemon didn’t say what he was thinking.
He just smiled broadly.
Then he asked this question again.
“want!”
Erina is very positive.
She really wanted to try Aoba’s cooking.
“I will stay with Erina-sama.”
Feishazi also expressed his wishes.
“Okay, then let’s continue to have dinner at Mr. Aoba’s place tonight.”
Senzaemon returned to his room with a smile.
Sit at the desk, close your eyes and think carefully.
The nib of the old-fashioned fountain pen kept moving across the rough letter paper.
Until the pen tip stops.
The old man stopped writing and sighed with some emotion.
“Mangi, perhaps the curse of the God’s Tongue can be broken…”
Chapter 28 Pharmacological Skills! Braised Food Making! (Old Version)
Back to the door of the shop.
Even now, Qingye still didn’t feel sleepy at all.
Starting from yesterday.
Apart from being knocked unconscious by Kamishiro Rize and the mysterious ‘fox demon’ girl, he hadn’t slept for more than ten hours.
The physical improvement brought by Gluttony Level 3 really made him almost out of the category of ordinary humans.
Moreover, it seems that this is not the limit of this skill.
Other things like feeling your opponent’s movements slow down during a fight are not mentioned for now.
Qingye feels that the most useful thing is that it allows one to stay energetic even without sleeping for a long time.
There is plenty of time for difficulty.
He was going to do something new.
Most of the dishes in the shop are cooked to order.
In addition to the common oden.
Qingye decided to make some snacks that could be preserved for a long time.
He opened the shutter of the izakaya.
Enter the shop.
A faint fragrance of mountain flowers seemed to still linger in the shop, lingering for a long time.
The fox demon girl whom he had placed on the bench to rest in the morning had already disappeared.
All that was left was a neatly folded thin blanket.
“Have you left already?”
Aoba was not surprised that the girl was able to leave without even opening the door.
Maybe it was the feeling that the Nura general gave him last night.
The ‘fox demon’ girl might not be so bad.
When she pounced on him, he seemed to be able to sense that her aura was very charming.
It’s just like being possessed by a fox demon in the legend.
“I hope she’s okay…”
Put the blanket with a delicate floral scent back on the second floor.
Aoba walked down from the second floor.
The stairs are located in the backyard.
The area of ​​the backyard is not very large compared to the rooms on the second floor.
But compared to the others it is huge.
Qingye roughly estimated the area of ​​the backyard.
It’s about 70 square meters.
A detached house with such a large yard is extremely rare in Anding District where every inch of land is valuable.
It is almost as large as the combined area of ​​two or three small shops on the central commercial street.
“With such a big yard, maybe we can use it for something else?”
Over the years.
Qingye originally wanted to develop the backyard and grow some green onions, coriander and so on.
However, if it is developed into a vegetable garden, it may cause trouble to the surrounding neighbors.
In addition, the courtyard was not big enough to satisfy his desire to farm.
So it was put on hold.
For a long time, apart from some miscellaneous items, there was only his bicycle in the backyard.
It’s okay if you don’t watch it normally.
If I come here during the day, it always feels a bit empty.
“Want to get a pet?”
Aoba put his hands on his hips and looked at the corner of the backyard.
On weekdays he opened the shop at night and rested during the day, so he didn’t feel lonely.
But now my physical condition has improved and I have plenty of time during the day.
He lives alone and still feels lonely.
It would be nice to have a pet.
If he were to raise a dog, he would prefer the Chinese native dog from his previous life.
They are quiet, easy to feed, and require almost no worry.
The yellow dog Baimian will also be very good-looking when he grows up.
It’s just hard to find here, the most common ones are Akita Inus and Huskies.
“Huskies are too boisterous, and Akitas are good-looking but have unpleasant personalities.”
“If it doesn’t work, get a cat first.”
“Besides, if you don’t use such a large yard to keep pets, you can also invite some guests to party.”
“BBQ and beer will be great together!”
Maybe it’s because I’ve been in contact with Kasumigaoka and Erina more.
It made Qingye’s heart younger and his fantasies became richer.
He has made up his mind.
Pets and parties must be arranged!
Just do it.
Because of the improvement of his gluttony skill, he was extremely energetic.
Three or four hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The whole courtyard looked almost tidy.
All the debris was thrown into the corner, waiting for the garbage company to come and take it away.
Some overgrown weeds were also pulled out.
For a moment, Qingye, with his hair wet with sweat, looked at the fruits of his labor with great satisfaction.
It was worth it!
Cuckoo…
Suddenly, Aoba’s stomach growled.
An indescribable feeling of hunger rushed directly into his brain.
This may be the only drawback of the Gluttony skill.
Only then did Aoba remember that he originally wanted to cook.
“It seems that my brain isn’t working well after not using it for a long time.”
Smiling helplessly.
Qingye opened a small door in the backyard.
From here you can leave the backyard and walk directly into the alley outside.
clatter!
Qingye turned on the light.
Because the sliding door of the shop is still closed.
If the lights are not turned on, the whole shop will be very dark.
Go to the back kitchen and open the freezer.
There wasn’t much left in there.
In addition to some basic meats and vegetables, there are also some spices and medicinal herbs.
Those Chinese medicinal herbs are green leaves used to make soup.
Now, when he looks at these Chinese medicinal herbs, he has some new ideas.
【Pharmacology Level 1】
【Pharmacology: Understand basic pharmacology knowledge】
This skill was activated by the secretary this morning.
Qingye was really stunned by the girl’s contrasting side at that time.
He is timid in front of Erina, but becomes much stronger when he is away from her.
It seems that I usually suppress my temper too much.
Qingye thought about it and took out these Chinese medicinal herbs.
The braised food platter that Miss Fenghua wanted to eat last night was the one he made for herself.
However, because of the reason that Kamishiro Rize ‘picked up the corpse’.
He never had time to do it.
I have time today, so I’ll make the braising soup first.
He had never seen this kind of snack in this country.
If the dish is acceptable to the customers, he can add it to the regular menu.
Think of this.
He washed his hands carefully and put on an apron.
I took out the medicinal herbs I bought from the freezer.
The brine needed for braised food must contain some Chinese medicine.
To enhance the fragrance.
Moreover, these Chinese herbs can make the flavor of braised food more unique.
Although it only has lv1 pharmacology.
He cannot be allowed to prepare medicinal food with special effects.
But it is more than enough for making braised food.
First take out some frozen ducks from the freezer and thaw them.
When I bought these, I was thinking of making a pot of old duck soup myself, or waiting for the older sisters in the entertainment shop to take orders.
After all, their work is sometimes very hard.
But I haven’t ordered it recently, so it’s been kept under the freezer.
Now just take it out and braise it.
Set aside to thaw.
Qingye looked at the bags of Chinese medicinal materials and sorted and selected them very quickly.
Star anise, fragrant fruit, white cardamom, codonopsis, cinnamon, cumin, gardenia, galangal, amomum villosum, tangerine peel…
I also added a little bit of dried chili pepper.
From Qingye’s observation, almost none of his customers can eat spicy food.
But without chili peppers, the brine will lack a crucial flavor.
Therefore, Qingye still added a little bit of dried chili peppers.
Wrap these seasonings in white sand bags.
A packet of ingredients with a unique and strange aroma is ready.
Now all you have to do is wait for the ingredients to thaw…
It was at this time.
There was a knock on the door.
“Aoba-kun?”
“Here I come!”
Aoba opened the wooden door.
The figure of a mature woman came into view.
Feilu novels, Feilu will make you look good!
Chapter 29: Mrs. Nishimiya! Kasumigaoka: Be responsible for girls! (Old version)
“Mrs. Nishimiya?”
Aoba stood in the store, looking at the woman in front of him who was only in her thirties but had tired eyes.
This is the lady who lives next door to the izakaya.
The daughter is the little girl that Qingye rescued last night.
“Manager Qingye, I came here specially to express my gratitude.”
Nishimiya Yaeko handed the thank-you gift in her hand to Aoba, and at the same time bowed 90 degrees to Aoba to express her gratitude.
If Aoba hadn’t saved Nozomi last night.
I’m afraid she couldn’t even see Nitro when she came back last night.
“oh!”
Seeing this, Qingye immediately accepted the gift of thanks.
This thank-you gift must have been carefully selected by the other party, and it looks very valuable judging from the packaging.
It is probably more than half a month’s salary for Mrs. Nishimiya.
This is no small amount.
Mrs. Nishimiya not only had to take care of Nozomi’s grandmother, but also Nozomi and her sister.
It is not easy to support this family alone.
Besides, it was discovered that Nitro had congenital hearing loss.
You need to go to the hospital for regular check-ups every week.
It is also a considerable expense.
So Yaeko Nishimiya had to work three jobs at the same time to barely support the family.
Logically speaking, Qingye should not accept this thank-you gift.
But he understood Mrs. Nishimiya’s character.
A woman who supports the family will tend to have a strong personality.
Even if he refused, she would definitely come to thank him again, and the thank-you gift would be bigger each time.
“Mrs. Nishimiya, is Glass okay?”
Aoba placed the thank-you gift on the table beside him.
He invited Yaeko Nishimiya to come in and rest and poured her a cup of tea.
“Thanks!”
After taking the tea, Nishimiya Yaeko nodded subconsciously.
“Thanks to you, the store manager, for stopping those guys. Glass was just a little frightened and can go home today.”
“That’s good…”
Qingye also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he still likes glass very much.
On weekday evenings, Aoba would wait for customers in the store alone, and sometimes Glass would come to play with Aoba.
Although she is sometimes disturbed by guests, Glass never feels annoyed.
Instead, every time she came, she would bring Qingye new things that she had learned in school.
Sometimes it’s painting.
Sometimes she would write down new words in her notebook in a crooked manner.
Qingye always accepted it with a smile.
When I am not busy, I will accompany Glass to draw and teach her to speak.
“When Nitro is discharged from the hospital, let her come over to play.”
Aoba’s tone couldn’t help but lighten up when he thought of the daily life he spent with Naoko.
“Hmm…I’ll tell Glass.”
Nishimiya Yaeko was stunned for a moment and nodded silently.
Without exchanging a few pleasantries, the wife left immediately.
For her, even coming to thank Aoba was a leave of absence.
She gave everything to her family.
And there are many people like her on this street.
Qingye watched silently.
I can only help out to the best of my ability.
It was around six in the afternoon.
All the stores on Ainosuke Street are open.
The house inside and outside was cleaned and ready to welcome guests.
The sign in front of the izakaya still said ‘Closed’.
There is still some time before the store officially opens.
Now in the brightly lit shop, Qingye was stirring a big pot.
The rich aroma spreads from the pot to every corner of the shop.
The red marinade in the pot kept boiling under low heat.
Gurgle Gurgle
Blisters burst one after another.
The smoke from the pot rose up into the sky and turned into an invisible breeze.
Aoba stood by the pot holding a large spoon.
Stir it occasionally.
There was a serious look on his face.
Under the warm yellow light, the serious boy exudes a sense of tranquility that belongs to autumn.
The shop was exceptionally quiet.
The only sound was the sizzling of the boiling brine.
Qingye looked out the door through the curtain.
It was blurry and unclear who was standing at the door.
I could only roughly tell that the other person was a girl.
Qingye let out a sigh of helplessness.
Only one person would come here before he opened for business.
He put down the pot and spoon in his hand.
He walked out from the back.
Come to the door.
Because the business has not officially started yet, the door is still locked.
“Aoba-kun, open the door~~~”
Hearing the girl’s coquettish voice, Qingye responded casually.
The door lock was just a brass fob.
Just fold it up and it will open.
As Aoba opened the door, he almost hit the girl outside on the head.
“so…”
“Kasumigaoka-san, didn’t I tell you to be careful and not to be so anxious?”
Qingye was a little helpless and gentle.
Today’s girl is still wearing the same basic outfit.
The school uniform of Toyonosaki Academy is still very beautiful, perfectly showing the youthfulness of the girls.
Plus the girl’s own dress.
Black tights, a white headband, and a white coat as outerwear.
A beautiful girl looks good in whatever she wears.
When Kasumigaoka’s beautiful eyes, like cellared red wine, looked at Aoba, there were a few sparkling lights in them.
“Really?”
“Didn’t Aoba-kun say that if I came over tonight, he would tell me the answer?”
The slightly raised corners of his mouth showed a hint of anger and joy.
It was clearly a question, but it sounded like a joke between lovers.
“It’s just an answer. Is it important?”
Aoba flicked his forehead helplessly, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
His words were like a gentle spring breeze.
Silently invading the girl’s heart.
But fortunately, Aoba had turned around and did not see Kasumigaoka’s face.
“It’s very important… No, it smells so good!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to emphasize.
As a result, the moment I entered the shop, I was attracted by a rich aroma.
“Today’s new braised food is something you haven’t tried before.”
Qingye was already standing by the pot.
This pot is the last one of the day and it will be ready soon.
“Eh!?”
New cuisine! !
The girl’s attention was immediately diverted by the new dish.
Like a little girl who saw a doll, she quickly raised her hand.
“I want to eat!!”
“Do you like spicy food?”
“don’t want.”
After saying this, Kasumigaoka sat down at one side of the table.
She doesn’t like sitting in the middle.
It was too conspicuous there, and because of the curtains, I couldn’t see what was going on in the kitchen at all.
Better to be on the edge.
Through the analysis of the curtain, you can clearly see Qingye’s every move in the kitchen.
This is the secret of the shop that only she knows.
Got the answer from Kasumigaoka.
Qingye also picked up some duck, kelp and lotus root from the pot.
This is the non-spicy version.
Put it on a small plate and place it in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha.
“You are the first customer today, so you can try the first one for free.”
“Eh? Only the first one?”
“So what else do you want?”
“Even after what the store manager said to me last night, there’s no discount?”
“What did I say?”
“Hehe! Manager, you know that if you let girls decide everything, you won’t get a girlfriend.”
The girl’s coquettish expression made Qingye feel helpless.
Every day you can see Kasumigaoka’s energetic look in the store.
Even he felt full of energy.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 30: Izakaya, open for business! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an Izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 30 Izakaya is open for business!
“By the way, Manager, what are all these packages for?”
Kasumigaoka asked Aoba incoherently while eating the tip of a duck wing.
There are a lot of those things.
The piles of large and small items were put together, and it didn’t look like Qingye had brought them back himself.
“Those?”
Qingye stuck his head out from behind the curtain and looked at the packages piled up next to the front desk in the kitchen.
“Those are ingredients.”
Feishazi did not lie to him.
In the afternoon, the Totsuki food truck arrived at Ainosuke Street.
It’s just that the location of Aoba Izakaya makes it difficult to park the car.
Qingye was cleaning the backyard at that time, and went out to bring them in.
Those people quickly moved all the ingredients to the kitchen.
Some of the things that couldn’t be put away were just piled up in the corner of the front hall.
Qingye didn’t have time to clean up.
After all, he was very hungry after finishing his work in the afternoon.
After the food is delivered.
He braised a large pot of it according to his own taste, and originally wanted to save some for tomorrow.
The result is the side effect of the gluttony skill.
He almost lost his sense of fullness and just stayed by the pot, eating while it cooked.
I finished the whole pot of braised food without realizing it.
Fortunately, Feishazi sent enough ingredients, otherwise he would be afraid that he would have no idea where to eat the braised food tonight.
certainly.
After eating so much, the recovery ability brought by the gluttony skill has become stronger.
Aoba even felt that if he met the ghoul from last night again,
One slap could knock him to the ground so that he couldn’t get up.
“I see~”
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t ask any further questions.
It was just the girl’s unique curiosity and the desire to know more about him that made her ask questions.
Although she and Aoba have known each other for a year.
But I seldom speak on weekdays.
She knew that Qingye needed to rest during the day, so she did not disturb Qingye when she was free.
She would only come here and chat with Qingye during business hours at night.
Even after finding out Qingye’s opening hours, he was always the first customer to arrive at the store.
Perhaps in the young girl’s naive and ignorant perception.
Only this period of time belongs to her and Qingye.
It’s also a unique time spent together.
Of course, the girl’s secrets will not be told to others.
Even I would find some inexplicable excuses to deny it.
The aroma in the shop became stronger and stronger.
The last pot of braised food is also completely ready.
It was no more than ten minutes before Kasumigaoka Utaha entered the door.
The girl had been sitting at the table for a while.
No food either.
He was just playing with his phone and seemed to be chatting with someone.
Qingye lifted the big pot filled with brine and walked steadily towards the backyard.
We are about to open for business, and there is no place in the kitchen to put such a big pot.
If it were the Qingye of the past, it would probably be difficult for him to lift this pot.
But now it is extremely easy.
He carried the pot and put it down against the wall in the back kitchen.
He clapped his hands and walked to the kitchen again.
Today he made about 60 kilograms of braised food.
I ate more than 20 kilograms by myself.
If it were in the previous life, I would definitely be scolded by my master again.
It is almost impossible to open a store and survive a night without preparing more than 100 kilograms of ingredients.
But in this life, there are fewer customers in the store.
There are still a few dozen kilograms left, enough for use.
He looked at the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall.
It’s only a few minutes until opening time.
We are used to seeing Utaha Kasumigaoka not ordering any food when she comes here.
Anyway, the small shop is always full.
It’s okay to let her take up a seat.
Aoba leaned against the door frame that separated the front desk and the kitchen, looking at the girl who was chatting on her cell phone.
At this moment, Kasumigaoka’s expression was somewhat determined.
But there was also some helplessness and confusion in his eyes.
It seems that we have gotten rid of the shadow of yesterday.
“well…”
The girl looked at the chat interface on her phone, put it down helplessly, and looked in the direction of Aoba with her slender arms.
There was confusion in those eyes.
“Manager, if you were the protagonist and had to choose between the two heroines, who would you choose?”
The novel she wrote was also shown to Qingye.
In fact, Aoba was her first reader.
Even though she had no interest in light novels, she ended up reading it all night and then giving her feedback.
Perhaps it was because of this incident that she began to truly put aside Aoba’s foul appearance and understand him.
“Adults never make choices…” Qingye rolled his eyes at her and said with a wicked smile, “I choose to take them all!”
“Hehe! What a greedy store manager!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha also rolled her eyes in response.
Suddenly, his mood became depressed again, and he lay on the table with his hands holding his phone.
“I’ve clearly prepared for this, so why am I still being cut off…”
The girl complained softly.
This is a vulnerable side that has never been shown to outsiders.
Even in front of the store manager, she rarely looked so completely listless.
Sudden.
The cool water droplets stimulated her forehead.
“Hiss~~~”
The girl let out a soft moan.
“Now that I’ve made the decision, I have to keep going no matter how difficult it is. If my work gets cut, I’ll just write another one.”
Aoba placed a glass of lemonade on Kasumigaoka’s forehead and put it down.
“You’re the one who was able to hold a book signing event for your first book release, Kasumi Shiko. You should have more confidence in yourself and stop being so depressed.”
His encouragement made the girl’s slightly sad temperament disappear.
“Well~”
“Manager-kun is really good at comforting people, but it’s embarrassing to call someone by their pen name in public.”
Kasumigaoka shuddered, supporting her chin with a teasing look in her eyes.
“I know.”
Qingye nodded helplessly, then smiled and said:
“So, what would Miss Kasumi Shiko like to eat today? I can give you an extra discount.”
Kasumigaoka propped herself up with her hands and brushed off the long hair that was scattered around her neck.
Two somewhat childish hairpins appeared and disappeared.
His expression showed some disgust and blame.
“Really? Can’t you just say it’s free?”
“The store manager is such a stingy man!”
The girl was a little annoyed.
Aoba shook his fingers gently.
“Huh, I knew it.”
“But since the store manager comforted me today, I won’t bother with the stingy store manager.”
“I want to eat that mysterious thing you made for someone yesterday!!”
Kasumigaoka snorted softly.
Then he said what he wanted to eat.
This look is very cute.
Even though I was drunk in the store yesterday, I could still smell that fragrance.
Especially the somewhat annoying young lady who excitedly accepted the dish.
She wants to eat too.
It’s definitely not because of jealousy!!
Upon hearing this, Qingye poked the girl’s forehead with his finger and sighed:
“If Kasumigaoka-san isn’t afraid of gaining weight, I can also make you egg fried rice.”
Egg fried rice?!
Kasumigaoka was stunned.
The eldest daughter of the Nakiri family was so excited, and it turned out to be because of the egg fried rice made by the store manager?!
“The store manager is lying!”
She won’t believe it!
“Just think of it as a lie, but don’t blame me if you gain weight.”
Qingye nodded and waved his hand.
He found that sometimes girls could be really stubborn.
“Ugh—!”
Kasumigaoka paused for a moment, and seeing that Aoba had no guilt at all, he gritted his teeth and said:
“At worst, I can skip dinner tomorrow. I want one!”
“But is that expensive?”
The girl said this with some shyness.
Her funds have been a bit tight lately…
But I don’t want to eat at home.
She loves being here.
Even if you don’t eat, it’s nice to just look at Qingye quietly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you a discount.”
Aoba opened the wooden door and walked to the door of the store.
He turned the listing over.
Closed – open for business.
Then he pulled the light cord.
The door of the shop was lit up with a warm yellow light.
Today’s izakaya is open for business.
Chapter 31 I only bully Kasumigaoka-san! (Old version)
Zongman: This is a pub, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 31 I only bully Kasumigaoka classmate!
This is an extremely beautiful Yamabuki flower field.
The orange-yellow mountain blowflowers stretch for thousands of miles. Looking around, the only thing between heaven and earth is the white moon and sunset.
Apart from the green mountains in the distance, the rest of the ground is this endless golden sea of ​​flowers.
The setting sun hangs in the sky.
The last bit of warmth from the afterglow remained on the orange-yellow petals.
A gentle breeze blows.
Each mountain shrub is dancing like a human.
In the middle of a sea of ​​flowers.
A ‘black’ girl walked slowly among them.
She moved gently, and every movement seemed to be saying goodbye to the world.
In this place that seems to have been forgotten by the world.
The girl, more charming than a field of flowers, smiled faintly.
A blooming smile.
It seemed to overshadow the entire flower field.
The girl stopped.
The evening breeze suddenly stopped.
In an instant, the entire flower field seemed to be captivated by the charm in the girl’s eyes.
She was very confused.
She used to be the spirit of the mountain flower and the master of the flowers all over the mountains.
But now, standing in this field of flowers, I don’t feel happy at all.
At the same time, another memory in her mind was telling her the same thing.
She used to be the King of Monsters in Kyoto, the lord of all the monsters in Japan!
The two memories intertwine back and forth.
There are doubts, resentment, and reluctance
But more of it is the peace that comes from the bottom of my heart.
Those distant memories were all from many years ago.
Whether it is the spirit of the mountain flower or the lord of ghosts and monsters, it is both her and not her.
Her name is Yamabuki Otome.
An ordinary girl who possesses the memories of the spirit of Yamabukihana and the lord of demons and monsters.
“The store manager…”
“He’s a very nice person.”
The girl’s soft whisper echoed faintly in the flower field.
The smile on the corners of his mouth really spread at this moment.
That is happiness that comes from the heart.
The entire sea of ​​flowers seemed to understand the secret in the girl’s heart.
There was a slight breeze.
A magnificently blooming Yamabuki flower was given to the girl.
The girl’s mind moved.
Three fox tails appeared under the black JK skirt.
A faint demonic power condensed on the mountain blowing flower.
Accompanied by the fragrance of flowers in the wind.
The mountain flower disappeared in front of the girl in the breeze.
She seemed to be able to anticipate the boy’s surprise when he received the mountain blow flower, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
The sea of ​​flowers in the mountain breeze suddenly became more beautiful and swayed more movingly.
And the next moment.
The girl’s clear voice echoed throughout the sea of ​​flowers, making people shudder:
“Have you decided to make fertilizer for the flowers?”
“Manager, it seems like someone is knocking on the door.”
Kasumigaoka pointed to the store door.
Qingye also heard the sound.
He is currently making golden egg fried rice for Kasumigaoka. Since the egg liquid has just been put into the pot, he is unable to free his hands for a moment.
Kasumigaoka-san, I’m sorry, could you please help me check who it is?”
Aoba’s voice reached Kasumigaoka’s ears from the kitchen.
The girl was happy to help.
“no problem.”
Kasumigaoka jumped down from her seat, and it was obvious that her mood had improved after being comforted by Aoba.
The black pantyhose has a slight yellow hue under the bright yellow light.
The girl walked briskly to the door.
Open the door.
A mountain blowflower was leaning quietly against the door frame.
The elegant fragrance of mountain flowers drifted into the shop.
“It smells so good!”
Kasumigaoka picked up the Yamabuki flower in surprise.
“Manager-kun, it’s Yamabuki Hana!”
Girls have a natural love for flowers.
This mountain-blooming flower blooms exceptionally brilliantly and is extremely fragrant.
Even Kasumigaoka was reluctant to let go after getting it.
Qingye, who was in the kitchen, was slightly stunned.
After smelling the elegant floral fragrance wafting in, he thought it was the ‘fox demon’ girl who had returned.
It turned out to be just a mountain flower.
“That’s a guest’s thing. Can you help me get it in?”
Aoba’s words made Kasumigaoka’s face visibly stunned.
Does this flower have an owner?
And it was quietly placed at the door of the store manager…
It’s really suspicious.
Kasumigaoka Utaha walked in and handed the Yamabuki flower to Aoba.
At the same time, I was very curious and even felt a little sour.
“Manager, could it be that you abandoned some girl and now she’s here looking for you?”
Qingye paused subconsciously.
Then a flick of the finger.
A faint red mark suddenly appeared on the girl’s smooth forehead.
“Don’t talk nonsense, if it’s a monster and it takes you away, I won’t be responsible.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her forehead and looked at Aoba with resentment:
“Mr. Manager is feeling guilty. It must be a girl.”
Qingye smiled helplessly.
“Yes, she is a very elegant girl.”
He thought of the girl who came to the store early this morning. She was about the same age as Kasumigaoka, but she always gave him a mature Yamato Nadeshiko temperament.
That kind of temperament is really fascinating.
Seeing Qingye’s eyes seemed to be reminiscing, the girl couldn’t help but feel jealous.
“Eh—what kind of girl could have the aura to captivate the store manager?”
The tone was somewhat sarcastic, and his tone was roundabout, revealing some unclear purpose.
Regarding Kasumigaoka’s sour tone.
Qingye saw it very clearly.
“Hahaha, what if I say she is the most elegant girl I have ever seen.”
Many guests come here.
The girl left a very special impression on Aoba.
As one of the few women who has close contact with Aoba, her temperament is truly extremely attractive and unique.
Listening to Aoba’s words, Kasumigaoka gritted her teeth secretly.
The hands placed below were also clenched tightly.
A little unhappy.
“Also, isn’t Kasumigaoka-san jealous?”
Aoba turned around and asked Kasumigaoka with a malicious tone on his face.
“Tsk!”
“How is this possible!!”
Kasumigaoka first refuted Aoba’s doubts in a slightly high tone.
Then she asked with her usual mischievous look:
“It’s rare to hear the manager speak so highly of other girls. Did something happen between you and her…”
Even though the girl didn’t elaborate on her words, her meaning was very clear.
The familiar knife hand fell again.
Qingye looked at Kasumigaoka who was holding her head in silence: “Are you an idiot?”
“It’s not nice to talk about others behind their backs.”
“Besides, I might like some people more than others…”
Same.
Aoba didn’t finish his words, but his eyes were looking at Kasumigaoka a little too intensely.
Even Kasumigaoka had never had that kind of experience.
After feeling Qingye’s fiery gaze, her face turned red involuntarily.
Weiwei hugged her arms and hid under the table, saying coquettishly:
“Da-me!!”
“Manager-kun, it’s illegal to attack a high school student!”
“Really? But a lot of people get married after graduating from high school! And isn’t Kasumigaoka-san already a third year?”
“I just can’t!”
It seemed that the girl had heard Qingye speak so boldly for the first time, and her face turned red all the way to her neck.
The pair of eyes that had always pretended to be mature were now slightly lowered.
The whispers became even quieter, as if only the girl herself could hear them.
“Obviously, he’s really good at it. The store manager really knows how to bully girls.”
“I can hear you!”
Aoba’s voice came from the kitchen.
Before the girl could reorganize her words, Qingye had already placed a covered dish in front of her.
His body leaned forward slightly, and his charming eyes seemed to capture the girl in an instant.
The distance between the two people was also shortened at this moment.
“and…”
The boy’s voice sounded very ambiguous.
He gently used his hand to push aside the girl’s hair that was covering her blushing face, revealing the hairpin that he had taken from her some time ago.
“I only bully Kasumigaoka-san!”
Chapter 32: Glowing Food?! Song, Behave Yourself!!! (Old Version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 32 Glowing Cuisine?! Song, you better behave yourself!!! Pictures and text
Aoba was just teasing Kasumigaoka as a prank.
Then he turned around and went back to the kitchen.
This mountain blowflower must always be taken good care of.
No matter why that ‘fox demon’ girl sent it here.
But as an outstanding man of the new era.
He would still treat the mountain blowflower well, just like he had done before when he put the girl on the bench to rest.
“Also, fried rice won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
Qingye placed the pale yellow mountain blowflowers in a long bottle in the kitchen and added a little water.
This will prevent it from withering too quickly.
When I have time, I should buy a real vase to keep this mountain shrub.
After all, it was given by the ‘Fox Demon’.
Maybe it will be like a monster with a very long lifespan and will never wither.
And in the front hall.
Kasumigaoka remained quiet until Aoba returned to the kitchen, then she revealed her shy look.
Under bright yellow light.
The girl’s blush seemed to be more beautiful than any love words in the world.
She stared blankly through the curtain at Qingye carefully transplanting the mountain blowing flowers.
For no reason, there was a moment of stagnation and panic in my heart.
“Manager-kun!”
Kasumigaoka’s clear voice echoed in the shop like a lark.
“Why do people send flowers?”
The girl took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
He sat back and asked, pretending not to care.
“Well, actually I don’t know. Maybe she’s just thanking me for taking her in.”
Qingye looked at the somewhat dangerous kitchen and thought for a moment.
I still choose to place the Yamabuki flower in the front hall.
At least the temperature here is not as high as in the kitchen.
Looking at the pale yellow petals in the transparent vase, Qingye’s mood seemed to brighten a lot.
“By the way, Kasumigaoka-san, do you know what the flower language of the Yamabuki flower is?”
Qingye suddenly turned his head and looked at the girl.
Those bright eyes seemed to be full of stories.
Kasumigaoka was momentarily stunned and replied, “What?”
“It’s elegance, nobility and waiting.”
Aoba smiled and looked towards Kasumigaoka.
“So, elegant Miss Kasumigaoka, why don’t you eat quickly?”
“It’s really getting cold.”
After his reminder, Kasumigaoka finally reacted and dodged Aoba’s gaze for a moment.
Then he quickly fixed his gaze on the covered plate in front of him.
“Why did the store manager use a lid this time?”
She had never seen such food before.
And isn’t it just egg fried rice?
Is it necessary to be so mysterious?
“You’ll know when you open it.” Qingye smiled and shook his head.
The most shocking moment of the glowing cuisine is to let the girl try it herself.
“Mysterious~”
Kasumigaoka curled the corners of her mouth, took a deep breath, and regained her usual mature demeanor.
Even when faced with delicious egg fried rice.
It’s just egg fried rice.
She absolutely will not be surprised
She opened the lid with her left hand, and an amazing aroma of rice instantly enveloped her whole body.
This taste…
Humph, it’s just so-so!
The girl’s eyes began to focus on what was about to be opened under the lid.
My throat moved involuntarily.
Wow——!
The lid was completely opened.
The golden light rushed directly into her eyes.
“ah?!”
Why does egg fried rice glow!!!
Many doubts appeared in the girl’s mind…
My stomach, which was not hungry at all before I came up, is now growling.
“Eat quickly.”
Qingye couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw the girl’s greedy look.
It seems that I should make less of this kind of glowing food in the future.
It was just ordinary fried rice, but when others saw it, they thought he had added medicine to the rice.
“Woo…”
After hearing what Aoba said, Kasumigaoka also started eating.
Very fast.
But the elegance and shyness that a girl should have were not destroyed.
While eating, he was complaining.
“Mr. Manager is really too much. He clearly knows that girls can’t eat too much at night, but he still makes egg fried rice so delicious!”
“I warned you in advance.”
“Anyway, next time I come, I’ll eat it again…”
“Aren’t you afraid of gaining weight now?”
“If you gain weight, it’s all the store manager’s fault!”
The girl turned her grief and anger into appetite.
Aoba smiled helplessly, knowing that he would definitely not order this again next time he came to Kasumigaoka.
She is a very rational girl.
He was also very happy to see Kasumigaoka eating so happily.
Next time, try making some dishes that are not easy to make you gain weight.
Or, can it be done now?
Qingye looked at the swaying mountain blowflowers in the front hall and remembered that some of the flowers he had bought were still left unused in the kitchen.
I made some tea jelly for Mr. Huapiao last night and there is still some left.
“Make some flower cakes?”
As long as you control the amount of sugar, this thing will not make you fat.
Qingye thought about it and returned to the kitchen.
Take out the remaining Yamabuki petals.
Some of the tiny petals were torn into tiny pieces by him.
Spread on the table, they look like strands of golden threads.
After tearing off the petals, he took some and put them into clean water.
Then mix flour with water to make dough.
Wait until the petals are completely opened in clean water, then take out the dough and roll it into a square cake base with a rolling pin.
Then spread red bean paste on the cake base layer by layer.
There are also rose petals that are unique to the spice bag.
Once the cooking is complete, place it in a steamer.
Next is the wait.
The shop was quiet.
Kasumigaoka didn’t say anything else to disturb Aoba.
She was holding her phone and chatting with her editor about light novels.
And then the kitchen.
Qingye was quietly and attentively making flower cakes.
The steamer is filled with the special flower cake made for Kasumigaoka.
Roses were used for Kasumigaoka.
The fragrance will be stronger and more in line with the taste of young girls.
The other flower cake uses the more delicate fragrance of the Yamabuki flower.
Perhaps it’s because of the ‘Purification’ skill.
Qingye seemed to have a premonition while making the flower cake.
That ‘fox demon’ girl will definitely come tonight.
Because the flowers used are different, they cannot be steamed in the pot at the same time.
That way the taste will be mixed.
Aoba calculated the time and it was time to make the flower cake for Kasumigaoka.
He lifted the lid of the cage.
The fluttering water vapor rose into the sky like clouds.
Accompanying it is the rich aroma of cake.
The aroma of rice and flowers blended together and filled the entire shop in just a moment.
Sitting outside, Kasumigaoka smelled the scent.
His face was even more bitter.
I’ve already eaten so much, and the manager is making more?!
“Okay, the rose cake is very hot. Let it cool down before eating.”
Aoba placed the flower cake in front of Kasumigaoka.
The flower cakes just taken out of the steamer are still emitting wisps of white smoke, like the mist in the forest in the early morning.
Distant and magnificent.
“nice!”
As for girls.
Sometimes the taste of food is not the key, but the appearance of the food is.
When Qingye made flower cakes, he took color and appearance into consideration.
Huagao Huagao, with the word “hua” in it, if it is ugly, it will not be worthy of the word “hua”.
not to mention.
When I was an apprentice, I was often scolded for being lustful.
He is very knowledgeable about food styling.
Kasumigaoka turned on the camera function of her mobile phone.
She wants to take pictures first.
Crash——
Just as we took the first photo at Kasumigaoka, a guest arrived.
“Welcome.”
Aoba raised his head and looked towards the door.
It’s Miss Crow Feather.
But there was someone following her.
She was a woman who exuded maturity and intelligence.
There was a slight wicked smile between his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth.
Her long, smooth orange hair was braided in front of her.
The frameless glasses on his face add a touch of intelligence and wisdom.
Her figure is not inferior to Miss Fenghua from yesterday.
Every gesture and movement reflects her charm.
Even Kasumigaoka Utaha, who is also a woman, felt a little ashamed at this moment.
After all, it’s too big.
There was not even the thought of catching up.
“Ms. Yayu, welcome back. What would you like to eat this time?”
“And Miss, if you want to order, the menu is on the wall over there. If you want to eat something else, you can tell me.”
Qingye first spoke to Yayu.
Then he asked the woman next to the other person.
“Allah!?”
“So the place Fenghua has been coming to is a small restaurant like this.”
The woman did not directly answer Qingye’s question, but looked around the shop casually.
She pushed up her glasses which had slipped down to the tip of her nose.
There seemed to be a gleam of gossip behind the glasses, and a hint of smile appeared in his eyes.
Her focus is on Aoba.
Seems to be very interested in Aoba.
“Song, you’d better behave yourself here.”
There was no trace of friendliness in Crow Feather’s words.
On the contrary, the threat is clear.
But Song didn’t care at all.
“Ason, I’ve always been very polite.”
Song smiled and walked in front of Qingye.
“Manager, can you give me, A-Song, the same dish as Crow Feather?”
She looked at Qingye with a smile.
Yayu came to Song silently and sat down.
“Could you two please wait a moment, please?”
“certainly.”
Song held his glasses and nodded, then sat down next to Yayu.
Qingye turned around and went back to the kitchen.
Even though Miss Song is very beautiful, she is just a guest to Aoba.
“Mmm—what a nice smell!”
“It’s many times more delicious than the food cooked by Meizai-san!”
“No wonder Fenghua has been coming here for the last month. Even you came here.”
Song smiled faintly.
The burden on my body also trembled.
If other ordinary men saw this, it would probably cause a riot.
Crow Feather ignored Song.
She and Song belong to the same punishment unit.
Naturally, I understand that I can’t just respond to what the other person says.
And she is still angry towards Song.
I clearly came here wanting to finish the task quickly, but ended up being pestered by this guy Song.
She insisted on letting me take her along.
He also said that the food was delicious and the wine Fenghua brought back was also very tasty.
Damn Fenghua!
I knew she would never keep a secret!!
She was the one who told others about the appearance of her wagtail pattern!!!
It’s beautiful but I don’t care!
Chapter 33 Powerful Collection Ability! Bumping into People with the Ball! (Old Version)
“Here, two servings of thick omelette.”
Aoba finally served the food.
The portion given to Yayu had the thick omelet cut into small square pieces.
Each portion is sprinkled with crystal clear white sugar.
The white gauze wrapped around the thick golden omelet looks extremely beautiful.
The portion given to Song was just ordinary thick omelette.
Because when Yayu came to eat yesterday, Qingye noticed that she was in a bad mood.
So I sprinkled more sugar on it.
“Just smelling this aroma makes me hungry!”
“But seeing such a cute thick omelette, I can’t bear to eat it.”
Song looked a little embarrassed, and her confusion also gave her a unique charm.
“The best way to enjoy food is to eat it.”
Qingye smiled faintly.
“That’s right, Mr. Manager, but…why are mine and Crow Feather’s different, even though they’re both thick omelette?”
His eyebrows curved, but his tone afterwards was slightly teasing.
Her eyes were a bit like a child secretly glancing at someone else while envying the ice cream in their hands.
The combination of golden thick omelet and white sugar looks much better than her ordinary thick omelet.
It will definitely taste sweeter!
When Yayu saw that the thick omelet looked different from yesterday, he didn’t say anything, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Then pick up a piece with chopsticks and put it into your mouth.
The shape of the thick omelet is slightly deformed when it meets the lips.
Simply watching Yayu eat so calmly brings a sense of longing and tranquility.
Although she is not as tall as Fenghua and Song.
But her aura of being invincible gave her a special charm.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know your taste, Miss Song, so it’s different from Miss Crow Feather’s.”
Aoba looked at Song with an apologetic look.
The gentle and generous woman just raised her glasses and sighed softly, as if she was relieved of helplessness and envy.
She nodded and turned her attention back to her thick omelette.
Every move he made was very gentle.
But when it came to her, it was somehow full of provocation.
Especially that heart that seems to be even broader than Fenghua’s, even Qingye, who stays away from women, can’t help but feel inexplicably attracted to it.
Pine and crow feathers are different.
Her dining style is closer to that of Ms. Fuuka.
Without much hesitation, he put the thick omelet into his mouth in three or two bites.
There were clearly only two or three pieces, but they looked like a lot in her mouth, with the sides bulging like a hamster eating a meal.
The range of expression changes is also richer than that of Crow Feather.
The delicate facial features all reveal one meaning.
“So delicious!!”
Seeing Song’s rich expression, Qingye couldn’t help but smile a little.
He was very happy to see this scene.
I like to hear guests’ exclamations and praises.
As a chef, he would be satisfied just to hear the customers say that the food was delicious.
“Today’s thick omelette…delicious.”
Although he knew that the person in front of him was his own Wei Ya, Ya Yu had his own plans in mind.
She didn’t want to fade away so quickly.
The only purpose of coming here today is to spend more time with Qingye.
Perhaps this is the common thought that comes to mind when the wagtails encounter suitable reed teeth.
And the two had only known each other for one day.
But the feeling that Aoba gave her was…very good.
At least
I wouldn’t mind if he were chosen to be my Wei Ya in the future.
“Ms. Crow Feather, as long as you like it.”
Aoba also nodded gently.
“Mr. Manager’s cooking is really great!!!” Song on the side also raised his hand quickly, and his glasses were fogged up by eating the thick omelette.
“This is much more delicious than what Miya-san makes!!”
“I’ll come here often!”
“No! Come every day!!!”
Song was very satisfied with Qingye’s craftsmanship and looked very excited.
His entire body was leaning against the table.
The pair of clear eyes behind the glasses seemed to be shining with starlight, staring at Qingye without blinking.
This action makes her figure more obvious.
Those big watermelons are almost about to burst out.
Qingye tried hard to control his gaze, and even took a few steps back, then nodded quickly:
“No problem, Miss Song, you are always welcome to visit us.”
When Yayu, who was standing by, saw that Songdu was almost sticking to Qingye, his eyes, which were filled with murderous intent, narrowed instantly.
then…
bass!!!
The bright knife light made Song’s eyes go blank!
“Enough is enough. You are causing trouble for others.”
“Aa …
Faced with the sudden flash of the knife, Miss Song seemed to have anticipated it and decisively moved her body towards Qingye.
Duang!!!
Qingye, who was also frightened, was stunned by the person who hit him with the ball.
no…
Is it really that big?!
“Hey, Mr. Manager, your eyes look weird.”
Song dodged the Crow Feather Blade’s light, and a completely different light flashed behind his glasses.
His lips licked Qingye’s ear with a slightly teasing look.
Before Qingye could react.
She had completely let go of her hands and raised them above her head to show her surrender to Crow Feather.
After all, she is a smart wagtail.
In terms of combat power, he is completely inferior to Crow Feather.
“Humph! We’ll settle the score when we get back!”
Seeing that she was sensible, Yayu didn’t take it too seriously and sat back in his seat.
“Um, Miss Crow Feather, the knife…”
Qingye pointed at Yayu awkwardly with the katana still in front of him.
“Huh?! Ahem… I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. There are other customers in the store, so I hope Miss Crow Feather won’t resort to knife surgery next time she comes.”
As he spoke, Aoba looked towards the Kasumi Hill in the corner.
The girl seemed to be chatting enthusiastically with the editor opposite her, with a faint smile on her lips. It seemed that her novel had been found.
bass!
The sword is sheathed.
Being looked at with strange eyes by Song, Yayu felt uncomfortable all over.
Also quickly finish the food in front of you.
He took out 1,000 yen from the pocket next to the scabbard.
“No, no, the money Miss Fenghua gave me yesterday is enough.”
Qingye pushed back the hand that Yayu was holding out for the money.
Then he showed a gentle smile to Yayu:
“Miss Yayu came here for the first time yesterday, and you’re a returning customer today. Consider it a free meal from me.”
He was speaking the truth.
After all, if a small shop in Tokyo can have repeat customers, it itself represents the customers’ recognition of the shop.
Yayu glanced into Qingye’s eyes.
There, it is full of seriousness and clarity.
“good.”
She simply nodded and took the money back.
Then, he glanced at Song beside him with an unfriendly look and shouted softly.
“Song, pay the bill! Go back!!”
Song nodded weakly under that sharp gaze, muttering:
“Fenghua paid for it yesterday, and I had a share too.”
bass–!
Crow Feather opened the scabbard with his thumb.
“Okay, I’ll pay, okay?”
Song put his hand into the gap on his chest, fumbled around a little, and took out a small wallet with a pink cat on it.
Then he took out a stack of 100,000 yen and placed it on the table.
He looked at Qingye quietly and said:
“Mr. Manager, this will be my meal money from now on. If you ever run out of money, remember to tell me.”
“And I’ll tell you a secret…”
“Yayu, there’s a lump on the inside of her right thigh…”
He didn’t finish his words.
The knife flashed as expected.
“Yayu, you really want to chop people!!!”
Miss Song dodged the knife flash as if she had predicted the future, and her glasses were almost frightened off.
Yayu didn’t say anything and put the knife back into the sheath before Qingye looked over.
Then he looked at Song with a gloomy look and walked out of the shop.
“Goodbye, manager!”
Seeing that he had escaped danger, Song immediately said goodbye to Qingye.
He carefully looked at the direction where Yayu left through the crack in the door, and then quietly followed.
Aoba looked at the 100,000 yen on the table, shook his head helplessly and took it.
Song, who was trying to sneak back to Izumo Villa as quickly as possible, was caught by Yayu before he took two steps.
“etc!”
“I can tell you a secret about the store manager!!!”
Song quickly raised his hands in surrender.
“Hmm? The store manager’s secret?”
Yayu couldn’t help but put down the hand holding the knife, but his eyes were fixed on Song.
The meaning is obvious.
If you don’t satisfy me, you will definitely not be able to escape today.
He even told the store manager about…that situation.
If the store manager hadn’t told her not to use a knife in the store, she really wanted to kill the guy with one blow.
“Did you notice that the store manager has a mountain blowflower in the front hall?”
He held up his glasses with a gleam of brilliance.
“If I’m not mistaken, there’s demonic power on it!”
“It has even reached the level of a great monster!!”
Store Manager…
How could he have anything to do with the big monster?
Without waiting for Yayu to wonder, Song closed his eyes slightly, as if calculating something.
A dozen seconds later.
There was a slight blush behind the tips of her ears.
“The store manager… he’s really amazing!”
“What happened to him?!”
“He seems to have a good relationship with that ‘Da Ku’…”
Just over ten seconds.
Song found out almost all the information about Qingye in this world.
Especially last night…
Kamishiro Rize was touching Aoba on the way back!
“The capital is quite large.”
I really can’t tell.
There was some unknown light flickering behind his loose glasses, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Chapter 34: Unstable District 20! (Old Version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 34: The Unstable Twenty Districts!
Crow Feather and Song left anyway.
When he first arrived here, Qingye was amazed by the pine trees.
But Song’s actions before leaving really made Qingye feel helpless.
If Yayu hadn’t been here, he guessed Song would have dared to just hug him and kiss him.
Just like a female hooligan.
He silently put away the 100,000 yen on the table.
Qingye sighed slightly.
He still had some doubts.
Why does someone who looks so “stable” and “philanthropic” have a somewhat off-kilter personality?
“Huh~Finally left.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a long sigh of relief.
She placed her hands on her chest, as if to calm herself down.
Qingye was a little confused.
Why did Kasumigaoka Utaha say this about Yayu and Song’s departure?
Could it be that she hates those two people?
But there is nothing related to this in Qingye’s memory.
The three of them have almost no intersection.
“I was so nervous just now.”
“Why?”
Qingye was even more confused.
“I’ve seen Miss Yayu on our campus before. She seemed to be a high-ranking official in the Inspection Office. She caused quite a stir in the school at the time.”
Kasumigaoka exhaled softly and tapped her fingertips on the table.
“She once held a knife to the principal’s neck…”
“How can I not be nervous?”
As she spoke, the girl patted her chest angrily.
Qingye also recalled Yayu’s personality in his mind.
She pulled out the knife several times during the two consecutive meetings.
It seems that he is indeed a person who is not easy to get along with.
But judging by how she and Miss Song get along, she isn’t too difficult to deal with.
At least if he had to choose one of the two to face, he would still choose Miss Crow Feather.
Miss Song really looks like a bad woman who is greedy for his body.
“well enough…”
“Actually, Miss Crow Feather is not a bad person. At least she protects you in your school.”
Aoba and Kasumigaoka have different opinions.
“Well, that’s right.”
Kasumigaoka thought for a moment and nodded: “At least she’s better than the young lady who came yesterday!”
The tone clearly showed resentment towards Erina.
Aoba also knew who the girl was talking about.
He just smiled lightly and didn’t say anything.
He rinsed his foamy hands.
He had already washed the dishes that Yayu and Song had used just now.
I had just wiped my hands with a towel when the door of the shop was opened again.
It’s an acquaintance I just met today.
Kasumigaoka’s brows also twitched slightly.
She felt a little panicked.
What she just said… probably wasn’t heard.
“Welcome, Mr. Nakiri, Ms. Nakiri, and Ms. Arato.”
Qingye was a little surprised by the three of them, but then he calmed down.
What happened in the morning did not affect the other party from coming here to eat.
“Aoba-sensei, just call me Erina.”
Erina Nakiri bowed to Aoba a little shyly.
It seemed as if he had been thinking about what Aoba said at the Nakiri residence all day.
Even now, I am still very shy when I meet Aoba in person.
after all
Who made Hisako drag her to read the love comics between teachers and students?
“Okay, Erina-san.”
Qingye nodded helplessly.
“Mr. Nakiri, Ms. Arato, what would you like to eat?”
“Qingye-kun, can you make me some Yuzi tofu?”
Senzaemon smiled and slowly walked to the table and sat down.
With his rather large build, he looked a bit like a sitting silver lion sitting here.
The egg tofu he ordered was also a very simple and easy dish.
Like fried tempura, it is a dish that has become popular in this country.
“OK.”
Qingye nodded and then looked at Hisako.
At this moment, the girl’s eyes were clearly filled with a hint of shyness.
“Mr. Aoba, I’d like an omelet rice.”
After the words fell, before Aoba could respond, Erina next to him was a little surprised.
“Feishazi, aren’t you afraid of gaining weight by eating these at night?”
“Hmm? I also want to try Mr. Manager’s different dishes.”
Feishazi blushed and lowered her head.
He looked so weak and easy to be bullied, which made Erina have no doubts.
In addition, thinking about coming here at night, she and Feishazi had not eaten anything during the day.
After eating Aoba’s food, I have no interest in eating anything else.
The last one is Erina Nakiri.
Under Qingye’s gaze, she finally said what she wanted to eat somewhat shyly.
“I want…that.”
She looked at the flower cake on Kasumigaoka’s table.
Flower cake?
Kasumigaoka seemed to be very sensitive to Erina’s gaze. When she saw her looking at her, she immediately snorted and turned her head away.
“Okay, please take a seat, and wait a moment.”
Qingye turned around and went into the kitchen.
Senzaemon and the other two sat in a row.
Senzaemon closed his eyes and didn’t say anything, Erina had a complicated expression, and Hisako was full of anticipation.
The three of them have their own thoughts.
But it’s none of Qingye’s business.
He was currently concentrating on preparing food for the three of them.
Take out the egg tofu from the freezer. This is a very special kind of tofu.
Although it is called tofu, it is actually made from eggs.
Contains no soy at all.
Before it comes back, it’s all bottled. Just cut it into slices when you cook it.
The simplest way to prepare egg tofu is to just cut it into slices.
This is the most popular way to eat it.
Since Senzaemon did not ask for any other conditions, he tacitly agreed to this practice.
The knife slid in and pieces of egg tofu were formed one by one.
Each piece is only half a finger thick, with no error at all.
If Qingye were to practice kendo now, he might be able to get the hang of it quickly.
After all, the usage of Japanese kendo and kitchen knives are not much different.
After cutting the egg tofu, coat it with flour.
If you don’t coat it with flour, the skin will be fried until it is burnt, and the original taste of the tamagoyaki tofu will be lost.
Qingye completed these steps neatly.
After coating with flour, the next step is frying.
“So, what is your purpose in coming to District 20?”
The petite figure walked out of the Hezhe shell and looked at the purple-haired figure opposite.
“I just want to come here to drink coffee and read a novel, is that not okay?”
The purple-haired figure sighed slightly and took off his glasses.
Those captivating eyes turned red in an instant.
“Why do you have to stare at me?”
“What can a mother body appointed by the Hexiu family do even if it escapes to District 20?”
The petite girl scoffed at herself.
“You and I were born ghouls, and this cannot be changed. Even if you escape to a safe area, those guys won’t let you go!”
“So what?”
“How’s it going? That izakaya on the main street… you’re probably familiar with it, right?”
boom!!!
Several terrifying red scales shot out, pointing directly at the opponent’s eyes.
“So, what do you want to do?”
“The Shu family has been keeping an eye on you. You wiped out the ghoul organization in District 11 with great fanfare, and then immediately rushed to the Stable District. What do you think they will associate with this?”
“I will establish a new organization in District 11, called… Bronze Tree. Your joining may help them relax.”
Chapter 35 Kamishiro Rize: What do you think I want to eat? (Old version)
Chapter 35: Kamishiro Rize: What do you think I want to eat?
Sizzle——!
When the flour-covered egg tofu is put into the oil pan, its snow-white surface is immediately dyed with a layer of golden color.
Tiny droplets of oil rose and fell.
The flour paste on the outside of the overloaded egg tofu gradually became crispy.
Qingye used chopsticks to push it lightly, and the crispy side faced up.
The golden tofu began to roll in the oil.
Along with the sizzling sound of the oil, a fragrance also spread.
Roasting, frying, and deep-frying are the most direct ways to release the aroma of ingredients.
The fragrance at this moment is floating in the air, just like a mighty general riding a war horse and sweeping around.
Straightforward and turbulent.
Senzaemon’s closed eyes also opened.
Her bright and beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation and seriousness.
His entire attention was now focused on Aoba and his men’s cooking.
Arato Hisako also looked at Aoba with admiration.
From the radiant dishes that Aoba displayed last night to today’s discussion on the food battle system.
Plus what I did with Aoba in the carriage today.
Before you know it.
The girl already had a faint admiration for Qingye.
Erina Nakiri’s expression was even more tangled and complicated.
I was clearly captivated by the fragrance, but I tried my best to pretend that I didn’t care.
This is a very painful ordeal.
Everything that had happened in the past told her all the time that there was no need for common people’s cuisine to exist.
But Qingye can break this curse time and time again.
Kasumigaoka’s way of expressing his feelings at the moment was simple.
“Smells so good!”
Two very concise words.
Aoba in the kitchen had already put the egg tofu on a plate.
Not many, just six pieces.
He carried the plate and walked out of the kitchen curtain.
He walked straight to Senzaemon and put the plate down.
Qingye clapped his hands slightly and walked into the kitchen again.
He still has to continue working on omelet rice and flower cakes.
Now the people at the front desk were all looking directly or secretly at the tamagoyaki tofu in front of Senzaemon.
Senzaemon opened a pair of chopsticks and poked the tamagoyaki tofu.
Very elastic!
It’s like fresh tofu that has just been made.
The golden appearance looks very appetizing.
Senzaemon picked up one and put it in his mouth with a very serious expression.
The clothes exploded!!
Another dish that reached the pinnacle of excellence.
“Mr. Nakiri, please put on your clothes.”
Qingye’s voice came faintly from the kitchen.
It is full of helplessness.
“tasty.”
Senzaemon praised with great satisfaction.
Then he got a piece of clothing from somewhere and put it on.
Erina, who was standing beside him, had an expression of uncontrollable surprise.
Can every dish prepared by the store manager make grandpa’s clothes burst?
This is almost surpassing Saiba Makoto, who was once the most favored of the Ten Greatest Talents of Totsuki and was favored by my grandfather!
Before she could come to her senses.
Qingye then walked out again.
“Here, your flower cake.”
After putting it down, he left again.
Erina was silent for a moment as she looked at the flower cake that looked like a work of art.
But in the end I still started eating.
As soon as the soft flower cake entered her mouth, she was addicted to it again.
Even though I’m familiar with Aoba’s cuisine, I still can’t resist its deliciousness.
After eating the first piece, she was able to break free from her addiction.
If I continue to eat, I’m afraid it will be like last night and I will be woken up by Qingye again.
She suppressed the throbbing in her heart that was aroused by the food in front of her.
But in fact, the concealment effect is very poor.
As a person with the blood of the Nakiri family, Erina cannot hide her desire for delicious food.
Those gilded eyes looked at Qingye’s figure reflected on the curtain like golden light flowing.
The endless doubts in my heart were almost overflowing.
but
It’s not the right time yet.
Erina put down her chopsticks and stopped talking.
Just waiting silently for Hisako’s omelet rice to be ready.
She came here tonight for dinner, which was one of the reasons, but not the most important one.
Crash——!
The door of the shop rang again.
Aoba is making omurice.
Although this dish is simple, the control of heat is quite strict, so it cannot be separated from the stove for a while.
“Welcome!”
“There’s a menu on the wall, you can tell me what you want to eat…”
Aoba’s voice came from behind the door curtain.
Add the triple-sifted egg mixture with heavy cream and salt, and stir quickly in a pan greased with butter.
He stared closely at the fire below.
When the egg liquid is slightly solidified, remove it from the heat and use the residual heat to form a silky outer film on the surface, while the inside remains runny.
Then place it on the steamed rice.
Pour the red sauce that is simmering in another small pot…
The golden egg liquid covers the distinct rice grains and is served with a special red sauce based on tomato sauce.
The rich aroma is wrapped in the egg bun.
Even this most ordinary dish becomes extraordinary after being cooked by Qingye.
“The omurice is ready, please enjoy.”
Aoba walked up to Hisako with the food in hand.
A scent of omelet rice mixed with a special floral aroma hit Feishazi’s olfactory nerves.
“This… has crushed rose petals added to it?”
Feishazi couldn’t help but murmur softly as she looked at the petals embellishing the golden egg bun.
Then he seemed to understand something.
She suddenly raised her eyes and the owner of those eyes seemed to understand what she meant, and nodded slightly with a smile on his lips.
“Hisagi, what’s wrong?!”
It seemed like his knee hit the table, making a dull sound, which made Erina look at him strangely.
“No, it’s okay!”
The secretary blushed and buried her head.
She didn’t let her lady Erina see her blushing expression.
Aoba, who had just finished cooking this dish, turned his attention to the customer who had just entered the restaurant.
As soon as I raised my eyes.
A head of purple hair caught his eyes directly.
“Brother~?”
The familiar voice made Qingye’s body tremble reflexively.
Those eyes stared at Qingye as if they saw the prey they had been waiting for for a long time.
“Coming?”
“Yeah, here I come.”
Even now, Qingye was a little at a loss.
He didn’t know how to face this woman.
An S-rank ghoul wanted by the CCG.
He is also known as a “big eater” and a “glutton”, a guy who feels unhappy if he doesn’t eat for a whole day.
“What do you think I want to eat~?”
In response to Aoba’s question, Kamishiro Rize opened her mouth slightly, with a hint of greed in her eyes.
And from the direction of Aoba.
He could clearly see the little snake in Rize’s mouth swallowing continuously.
Chapter 36: Kasumigaoka is targeted? A love rival appears! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 36: Kasumigaoka is targeted? A love rival appears!
“Understood.”
After Qingye was speechless, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
“Do you want sugar?”
“Need not.”
The conversation between the two was brief.
But in the brief conversation, one can see a great deal of tacit understanding.
Kasumigaoka sat in the corner, looking at the very mature and intellectual older female sister with some confusion.
She has known Qingye for so long, but has never seen him before!
And from her conversation with Aoba, it was obvious that they knew each other and had a good relationship.
“Manager-kun is really…”
The girl felt as if she had been thrown aside by Qingye again.
Although she knew that this feeling was definitely wrong, given her relationship with Aoba, there seemed to be no reason to say anything.
I can only vent my resentment on the flower cake in front of me.
The spoon mercilessly cut the flower cake in front of him into small pieces, revealing the white cake base and rose petals inside.
The slightly strong rose scent fascinated Kasumigaoka.
I just ate all of these in just a few bites!
But a very elegant question came to my ears.
“Excuse me, are you Teacher Kasumi Shiko?”
When Kasumigaoka was called by his pen name, his body froze for a moment, then he turned around in confusion.
He saw the purple-haired older sister who had just been talking to Aoba and seemed very intimate, now looking at him with a smile and a hint of anticipation.
Those purple eyes were very pretty under the silver-rimmed glasses.
There was even a faint…smell of books coming from her?
“Well, I am…”
Kasumigaoka’s eyes were blank.
I never expected that my novel would meet fans here.
“Hello, I’m your fan. That Love Metronome is really good.”
“Really? Thank you.”
A girl’s mood comes and goes quickly.
I had some misunderstandings about the tacit understanding and closeness between this older sister and Aoba just now, but now they can sit together and chat happily like like friends.
Kitchen.
Qingye’s expression was complicated.
The reddish-brown coffee beans are crushed and pressed in the extraction machine.
It reminded him of yesterday’s memory of being pressed and squeezed like coffee beans.
nothing!
calm!
Accompanied by the ‘beeping’ sound of the extraction machine.
A simple cup of freshly ground coffee is ready.
Nothing special.
Just a simple cup of coffee.
Holding the coffee, Aoba pulled aside the curtain and looked at the place where Kamishiro Rize had just sat.
No one?
Take another look around.
I just realized that Kamishiro Rize has already talked to Kasumigaoka!
This guy
A wry smile appeared on Qingye’s lips.
Just as he was about to hand over the coffee, he saw Kamishiro Rize’s eyes slightly raised.
His eyes seemed to see through Qingye, with a hint of… sarcasm?
This woman!
Although Qingye was angry in his heart, there was nothing he could do.
The situation is controlled by others!!
I can bear it!
“Your coffee.”
Coffee is served.
The faint bitter aroma made Kasumigaoka wrinkle her nose.
It’s normal for a girl to not like such bitter drinks.
But I saw Kamishiro Rize next to me stirring the coffee cup with a spoon and taking a sip.
The whole person seems to radiate the light of intellectual maturity.
She felt a little envious.
“Miss Kamishiro, do you like coffee?”
The girl’s doubts made Kamishiro Rize slightly stunned.
She glanced at Qingye, who was obviously nervous, and then curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
“Yeah, I like it very much.”
“It’s better to say that coffee is just like in the book written by Kasumi Shiko-sensei.”
“After a slightly bitter love decision, what awaits you is ultimately the sweetness of two people.”
As a well-known S-class ghoul in the ghoul world.
Kamishiro Rize’s living environment since childhood was not very good.
Apart from the time she lived in Bairi Court, she was adopted by Kamishiro Charong after escaping from the Hexiu family.
Teach her how to survive in the human world.
Therefore, her experience in dealing with people must be deeper than that of a naive girl like Kasumigaoka.
Just a few words were enough to coax the girl into smiling non-stop.
“My writing is not that good…”
There was a smile on Kasumigaoka’s face.
He even straightened the small coconut that was still growing in front of him, looked at Qingye, and his nose almost turned up.
The little expression is full of pride!
Seeing this, Qingye had no choice but to step forward and tap the girl’s smooth forehead with his finger.
“Mr. Manager, what are you doing~!”
Kasumigaoka was caught off guard by the sudden blow to her head, and her eyes were wide open with a hint of arrogance.
“She can only represent one reader. Your book can’t be written just for her, right?”
“Just listen to the editor and go back and make some changes.”
Aoba raised his finger and waved it in front of Kasumigaoka.
It is obviously a reminder not to be deceived by some people with ulterior motives and lose your way.
“Got it~”
The girl also knew that she had gone a little too far.
But the corners of his mouth were still curved, and his expression had a hint of pride.
“But even so, it means my novel is not worthless.”
“I’ll have a good talk with the editor.”
“That’s good.” Aoba nodded, and looked at Kamishiro Rize next to him: “You too, stop staring at me.”
“I want to keep an eye on you…”
Kamishiro Rize raised her hand to support her jawline, a blood-red light flashing in her purple eyes: “But it doesn’t seem appropriate now.”
Compared to the girl’s implicit and restrained expression.
There is no doubt that the older sister’s teasing is more superior.
They tend to express their feelings very directly and will not wait for the other party to take action like young girls.
And this happens to be Qingye’s weakness.
He can talk to young girls and even take the initiative, but if he meets an older sister type.
It can be said that there is almost no resistance.
This is why he is not very good at dealing with people like Fenghua and Song.
“Ahem…there are guests.”
Qingye’s face was slightly red, a little dazzling under the bright yellow light.
This scene made Kasumigaoka stunned.
But in a moment, he began to reconsider the relationship between Kamishiro Rize and Aoba.
It seems like she… has met her match.
On the other side of the shop.
Erina looked at Aoba who was chatting with Kasumigaoka and Rize Kamishiro, her eyes a little gloomy.
The store manager is always so busy.
I have so many questions I want to ask, but I never seem to find the right time.
Feishazi, who was standing by, would murmur happily every time she took a bite of omelet rice.
Although it is impossible to tell what expression is in the narrowed eyes.
But smiles don’t lie.
At this moment, Hisako is happy and blessed because of the delicious and special food.
She could clearly sense the addition of crushed rose petals to the omelet rice that Aoba gave her.
This is a completely different dish from Erina-sama’s.
Erina looked at the person closest to her like this and sighed silently in her heart.
His cooking had never made Hisako so truly happy.
I even felt a little jealous in my heart.
But buried deep in my heart is a faint sense of envy and longing.
if…
Her cooking can also make Hisako so happy…
How nice it would be…
The girl lowered her eyebrows and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
As if blown by the wind.
The lake in my heart also rippled.
Chapter 37 Don’t come over here! Used ones… Absolutely not! ! ! (Old version)
Zongman: This is an izakaya, you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 37 Don’t come here! Used ones… Absolutely not allowed!!! Picture and text
Erina left.
She couldn’t seem to find a chance to communicate with Aoba tonight.
Just ended with ‘I’ll come again tomorrow’.
Oh, one more sentence.
“Pack.”
It’s a similar scene again.
The flower cakes I made for Erina were packed up.
Before leaving, Senzaemon left a bill of more than 100,000 yen.
This made Qingye sigh.
Big families are indeed rich~!
After Qingye cleared the dishes, he sat down at the table in the front hall.
He would do this during his free time during business hours.
“That young lady is really weird. She always orders food but doesn’t eat it. She insists on packing it up…”
There was a hint of curiosity in Kasumigaoka’s tone.
“To be honest, I don’t quite understand it either.”
After thinking for a while, Qingye said this with a smile.
Judging from how he and Erina interacted, she didn’t have that overbearing, domineering attitude.
Even for him, it was a bit too respectful.
It’s just cooking, and he’s just a chef, so why did the relationship become like this?
In addition, Erina herself has a somewhat stubborn personality, which makes it even more awkward when they get along.
“A big family~”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Kamishiro Rize pondered for a long time, looking at her reflection in the coffee cup.
It’s like recalling the past.
“There are always rules that must be followed, even though these rules make people less human.”
When Kasumigaoka heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked at Rize Kamishiro who was quietly drinking coffee beside him and asked curiously, “Miss Kamishiro, are you from a big family too?”
“Hmm? Me? Yeah~.”
Kamishiro Rise smiled and nodded.
“But I left home when I was very young, so I’m not very familiar with that so-called family.”
“Is that so? That’s such a pity~”
“pity?”
“Of course, if you’re from a big family, wouldn’t you be able to invest in me? Then I’ll write specifically for you.”
“Hahaha~”
The conversation between the two seemed to relax Kamishiro Rize’s tense nerves.
Some people laugh without caring too much about their image.
She hadn’t felt this kind of emotion in a long time.
It seems to be called…are you happy?
Escaped from the Shuu family, was taught survival skills by Kamishiro Chaei, joined a ghoul organization, hunted, and ate to excess…
It seemed as if the haze of the past was dispelled by a ray of sunshine at this moment.
Can you write it for me alone?
That’s a really good speech.
If she was the prey he had hunted before…
Kamishiro Rize turned her head and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha seriously, with a bloodshot flashing in the depths of her eyes.
“Miss Kamishiro, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing, I just thought you were interesting…”
“Oh~ I’m so scared.”
The girl patted her chest in fear and said softly:
“Just now I thought you were going to turn into a ghoul and eat me…”
“What? Have you seen a ghoul?”
“Yes, I have seen it before. It was at school…”
Kasumigaoka told Rize Kamishiro about her previous encounter with the Inspection Office at school.
Aoba, who was sitting at the front desk, smiled helplessly after hearing the conversation between the two.
Girl!
Be more careful!!
That woman just now definitely wanted to eat you!
“well.”
“I’m leaving now.”
Kasumigaoka sighed.
She stood up to indicate that she was leaving.
I originally wanted to talk to Miss Kamishiro for a while longer.
Aoba looked at the clock on the wall.
It’s still a little early now.
There is still some time left before the usual time for Kasumigaoka to leave.
On weekdays, Kasumigaoka would sit here until nine o’clock.
Of course, except for the special situation where the other party was drunk last night.
“Are you going home so early today?”
Qingye asked with some confusion.
“Miss Kamishiro and I have talked about many things. I feel like I have a burst of inspiration right now. I need to go back and write the manuscript.”
Kasumigaoka’s eyes lit up, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Obviously, he has enough confidence in his next submission!
“Good luck then…”
Qingye was speechless for a moment, and finally could only nod slightly with a helpless smile.
Being able to say so much to an S-rank ghoul being hunted by the CCG.
The girl might really be the first one.
Kasumigaoka snorted, then asked: “How much?”
He raised his chin slightly, with a somewhat carefree look.
When paying the bill, you must be relaxed and at ease.
Although her financial resources are not very sufficient…
“I tried a free sample of braised food, a 500 yen fried rice, and a flower cake… 300 yen.”
The girl began to rummage through her wallet.
fine.
There are still some for 800 yen.
“Wait, I’m not finished yet.”
Aoba stopped Kasumigaoka’s movements.
The girl looked at Qingye in confusion and surprise.
“Anything else?”
Kasumigaoka was confused.
But Qingye shook his head.
“To celebrate Kasumigaoka-san finally coming out of her shell and finding inspiration, we’re offering a special discount today!”
“The original price is 800 yen, but today it’s only 100 yen. Thank you.”
Kasumigaoka’s nose twitched.
She suddenly felt her eyes a little sore.
But she quickly suppressed it.
“Really? The store manager just loves making girls cry!”
“So… Kasumigaoka-san doesn’t want this discount anymore?”
“No withdrawal allowed!”
“Yes, thank you for your patronage.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha also left.
Now only Aoba and Kamishiro Rize are left in the entire shop.
He looked helplessly at Kamishiro Rize who was staring at him with a smile.
“You’ve finished your coffee, why don’t you leave?”
“Where are you going? I haven’t eaten what I wanted yet.”
Kamishiro Rize supported her chin with one hand and lightly brushed her bright red lips with the fingers of the other hand.
There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
His eyes were full of desire to hunt.
Seeing this, Qingye stepped back slightly and created some distance.
Pointing to the brightly lit street outside.
I was just about to speak, but the next moment…
In a flash, the figure like a hydrangea appeared directly in front of him.
The red light in her elegant eyes became clearer and clearer.
The fragrance wafting from Kamishiro Rize became more and more obvious.
“etc…”
“Shh!”
“Door! Door!! The door is not closed…”
The wooden door was closed by the kagune that appeared behind Kamishiro Rize.
She at this moment.
Those eyes had turned completely red, staring straight at Qingye, and some saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Even if you have tasted it, you will still be excited when you see it.
only…
Qingye was not so moved.
“Stop pulling my pants!”
“stop!”
“You again?! Don’t use your teeth!!!”
“I told you not to bite!”
[Interact with ‘Da Ku’ +1][Gluttony Skill +1][Gluttony Skill +3]The night is like water.
Time in the shop flows like water.
“Hiss~!”
Aoba gently pressed the teeth marks on his collarbone with his fingers.
Her eyes were like those of a young virgin who was forced to be single, and she looked at Kamishiro Rize, who was looking refreshed, with resentment.
This woman…
Tell her not to bite with her teeth!
“Hmm~ Still want it?”
Kamishiro Rize slightly raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a little of her pink snake.
He looks very happy.
“Don’t come over here~!”
Aoba took two steps back, holding her apron, feeling aggrieved. She pointed at Kamishiro Rize and let out a deep breath.
“You’re right there, don’t move!”
“I told you not to come over…”
As a ‘glutton’, Kamishiro Rize obviously won’t give up so easily.
After communicating with Qingye yesterday, it took her a long time to adapt to her current strength.
Moreover, after that, even the predatory thoughts hidden in the ghoul’s instincts disappeared a lot.
From that time on, she stopped hunting.
The purpose is to obtain energy from Qingye.
“I really like that girl just now.”
“What’s the point of you liking it!”
“Hmm? Why didn’t it work?!”
“Stop! Just don’t try to hit on her.”
“I said I like her very much, you can…”
Kamishiro Rize looked at her own reflection in Aoba’s pupils and licked his ear gently.
“Who do you take me for?!”
Qingye refused sternly.
“Hehe, anyway, I told you, the rest…”
There was still a blush on Kamishiro Rize’s face, and the bloodshot in her eyes had completely disappeared.
Only the purple eyes filled with deep affection were left looking deeply at Qingye.
There seems to be some kind of emotion that cannot be dissolved.
“I… want more.”
“Wait a minute, you just used this…”
“Oh, isn’t that yours too?”
“Absolutely not!!”
“Stingy man~”
Chapter 38 The Girl Who Can See Monsters! (Old Version)
Zongman: This is a pub, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 38 The girl who can see monsters!
“Hiss~ That woman is really merciless!”
Qingye picked up some braised food from the pot and kept stuffing it into his mouth.
Fortunately, there is the gluttony skill.
It made his overall physique much stronger, and he even chewed and swallowed the duck bones.
And after almost squeezing Aoba dry, Kamishiro Rize simply pulled up her pants and ignored him.
He just slipped away without saying a word.
There was still 100,000 yen left by her on the table.
Looking at the money, Aoba turned his grief and anger into appetite, and put away the 100,000 yen with resentment.
Do you really think this is a brothel?
Come when you want, go when you want
In the custom shop, the guests received by Aunt Meiqi would call the older sisters from time to time to ask about their well-being.
Not like…her!
But wait…
That’s not right!
This isn’t a brothel!!
Aoba’s head was almost sucked clean by Kamishiro Rize, and he quickly shook his head.
He pulled open the curtain of the kitchen and pushed open the wooden door.
Dissipate the smell.
Although all those strong-smelling foods entered Kamishiro Rize’s mouth or body, he always felt a little uncomfortable without opening the window for ventilation.
Outside the wooden door.
The moonlight is flowing and the stars are shining.
This is a view that is hard to see in the center of District 20.
“The weather is nice tonight too…”
Seeing this night scene, Qingye breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I went upstairs to wash up a bit, and just went downstairs to clean the area where the front desk and the kitchen meet.
There seemed to be new footsteps outside the door.
Qingye looked up.
She was a very beautiful girl, who looked to be about ten years old and was a high school student.
Those eyes made Qingye ignore the dust on the other person.
Very beautiful.
It was like the moonlight flowing in the night sky outside the door.
Clear and beautiful.
Qingye inexplicably felt a kind of tenderness.
There is also a faint sadness.
“Would you like something to eat?”
Qingye did not ask what happened to the other person.
He just asked the most common question.
The girl smiled.
“Can you get me two beers?”
It’s still rare for girls to order two bottles of beer.
“Don’t you want to order something else? It would be hard to drink just alcohol.”
The girl shook her head.
Qingye didn’t say anything else.
In the next ten minutes.
The girl drank her beer in silence.
Every time she took a sip, the girl would be dazed for a while.
As if thinking about something.
What surprised Qingye was the girl’s alcohol tolerance.
She is totally incomparable to a half-baked person like Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Even though she had finished a bottle, the girl’s face remained extremely calm.
There was absolutely no sign of drunkenness.
Somewhat impressive.
Qingye took out a small plate and used tongs to pick up a few pieces of braised food, duck meat, kelp, and lotus root slices.
Just a small plate.
Maybe even as big as his hand.
Aoba brought it to the girl.
“Drinking alone is very harmful to your health. Eat something.”
The girl raised her head and looked at Qingye, then looked at the braised food in front of her.
Smell that aroma.
Her throat moved slightly, and she really wanted to eat.
“No, I’m not hungry.”
“It’s free.”
The girl was silent.
After about two or three seconds, she looked up at Qingye and smiled.
The smile is clean and bright.
Then he happily picked up a piece of lotus root with chopsticks.
When you put it in your mouth, it tastes like happiness.
The girl’s eyes turned red, and the breathing sound through her nose became more strained.
Late at night is a time when people can easily become depressed and agitated.
Countless people live exhausted lives in this city, hoping only to have the last remaining hours of the night to themselves.
Qingye sighed and didn’t ask anything.
Silently, he sat back on the small bench beside the door frame.
Occasionally, one or two of his customers would be sad and lonely…
“Boss, if you keep the shop open this late, it will easily attract monsters.”
The girl finished two bottles of beer and became a little cheerful.
Aoba smiled.
A monster?
He has seen it.
Although one of them was old and disrespectful, he told stories very well.
The other one…
She is a very beautiful person.
“Compared to me, you should worry about yourself.”
Aoba sighed and looked at the girl.
The school uniform was covered in dust, and it was obvious that the girl had been bullied.
“Me?”
“I’m fine, I’m used to monsters.”
Those clear and gentle eyes revealed a faint sadness like moonlight.
“Did you have a conflict with your friends today?”
Aoba asked calmly.
The girl’s eyebrows curved.
“They didn’t believe I could see monsters, and they tried to pull me aside and beat me up, but I defeated them all!”
The girl’s tone was a little proud and she seemed very happy.
“Didn’t you go to see your teacher or friends?”
“No, my teacher doesn’t like me either, and my friends… they’re not human…”
No matter what, the girl always had a smile on her face.
Qingye sighed softly when he heard this.
“In that case, aren’t you lonely?”
“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if I’m alone.”
The girl smiled softly.
“Whether it’s a monster or a human, everyone will feel lonely…”
During the conversation with the girl, Aoba always sighed.
“But no one wants to be friends with me…”
The curve of the girl’s mouth finally relaxed.
There was a hint of melodious sadness in those gentle eyes.
Only Aoba noticed at this moment.
“They all say I’m a monster… Well, I can’t blame them. Not all monsters are good, after all.”
“Actually, I’ve seen monsters before.”
Aoba finally smiled at the girl.
“Well, there’s one who’s very interesting. He sometimes comes to eat at the restaurant. Although it’s a bit of a headache when he doesn’t pay, he tells very interesting stories.”
“A monster that can tell stories?! I’m really looking forward to it!”
The girl’s mouth smiled again.
Qingye did the same thing when he saw this.
He turned his head and looked into the girl’s gentle and calm eyes.
“So, will you come tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
The girl nodded seriously.
It was as if he was making an important vow.
“Why don’t you come earlier? How about 7:30 in the evening?”
At this time, even high school students who need to work have finished their work.
The girl didn’t think much about it.
“Sure.”
The girl left.
Came here and spent 400 yen to drink two bottles of beer and eat a small plate of braised food.
She will come again tomorrow.
Qingye hopes that when he comes again tomorrow, the girl’s clothes will not be dirty.
At the end, the girl told Aoba her name.
Her appearance seemed to add a special touch to Qingye’s life again.
Different from other guests.
The girl who can see monsters…
Qingye looked at the girl who disappeared into the night, with a glint in his eyes.
Reiko.
Natsume Reiko.
“What a nice name…”
Chapter 39: Food that Increases Demonic Power! Nurarihyon’s Hard Work Rewards!! (Old Version)
After Lingzi left, the shop became quiet for a while.
Aoba wanted to try making some new dishes.
But the sound of his cell phone alerted him that a text message had arrived.
Although he has a variety of dazzling apps like in his previous life, Qingye has not developed the habit of playing with his mobile phone.
The frequency and number of times used are not very high.
He gently swiped the interface with his finger.
A message popped up directly.
It’s from Kasumigaoka.
One of Aoba’s few friends of the opposite sex.
Kasumigaoka got Aoba’s cell phone number and friend status first.
But the number of times we contact each other via mobile phone is very rare.
Many times, the girl would send a message to Qingye to complain a few words because she couldn’t come over tonight.
[Kasumigaoka: Are you free tomorrow afternoon? ]【Aoba: Yes, what’s wrong?】
[Kasumigaoka: My former editor wants to meet me and recommend a new editor to me.]【Aoba: Then why don’t you just go? 】
[Kasumigaoka: [○?｀Д′?○]! The girl explained her reason, and she just wanted you to go with her. Aoba-kun is such a straight man!][Aoba: Sorry, I’m straight. I’m really sorry. Sticking out tongue.jpg][Kasumigaoka: So, accompany me? ]【Aoba: What time? 】
【Kasumigaoka: Two o’clock! 】
【Aoba: Place?】
[Kasumigaoka: Is Shinjuku Station okay? I’ll wait for you there.]【Aoba: Yes.】
[Kasumigaoka: Mr. Manager, please say a few more words when chatting with girls! No girl likes such boring words!]【Aoba:smile.jpg】
【Kasumigaoka:…】
Turn off your phone.
Qingye smiled helplessly and shook his head.
He has a lot of free time every day.
He had originally planned to go to the pet store tomorrow.
Today’s vision of the backyard makes him want to get a pet.
But since Kasumigaoka has an additional request, let’s postpone going to the pet store for one day.
You can go to the pet store anytime anyway.
Tomorrow is a very important day for Kasumigaoka.
Qingye is very clear about this.
After experiencing ups and downs, the girl finally took this step.
Although changing editors is common in this industry.
But for Kasumigaoka, who is still a newcomer, this is the first time.
Although she usually looks very mature, she still feels afraid when facing real adults.
Naturally, a lack of self-confidence will arise from the bottom of your heart.
Aoba is still relatively familiar with Kasumigaoka.
The apparent strength and maturity are just a disguise for self-protection.
Girls are still very fragile.
Kasumigaoka’s wish for Aoba to accompany her is actually a very subtle signal for help.
If you refuse.
That would be too cruel for the girl who made the request.
“Manager, are you there?”
At this moment, a somewhat lazy voice sounded.
Then a dark figure suddenly appeared in the corner of yesterday.
Nurarihyon sat there with his pipe in his hand, looking at Aoba with a smug look on his face.
“Old man, you’re not going to pay again today, are you?”
Qingye showed some helplessness.
I have to say.
It’s really convenient for this old man to be a monster.
You can just walk into someone else’s store without even opening the door.
“Ahem…!”
Hua Piao coughed twice, knocked on the table with his short body, and said seriously:
“I’m the general commander of the Nura Clan, how could I eat without paying?”
“All right then.”
Aoba clapped his hands and stood up.
“Master, what would you like to eat today?”
“As a monster, of course I want something monster-eating…”
Hua Piao’s tone was a little puzzling.
After he returned last night, his demonic power somehow suddenly recovered a little.
You have to know that he was once cursed by Yuyuko and his heart was taken away!
Just by eating Qingye’s tea jelly, his demonic power was restored a little.
If this is replaced with something else, the effect will definitely be better!
Perhaps this is the special reason why that boy has such a powerful “mind”.
“Huh? Something youkai can eat…”
Qingye was a little confused for a moment.
Didn’t he eat the tea jelly last night?
Could it be that monsters have special recipes?
Like there’s some chicken demon that eats bugs or something?
“Don’t worry, we are responsible for the ingredients.”
After saying this, he pointed slightly at the door with his pipe.
“Ushiwakamaru, come in.”
“Sorry to bother you.”
A mature man’s voice came from outside the door.
As the wooden door was pushed open.
A somewhat burly figure appeared in front of Qingye.
Long black hair covering one eye.
Simple black long coat.
And a face that carries a story of vicissitudes.
“Ushiwakamaru?”
“General!”
The cow ghost nodded to Huapiao, then brought in a furry thing from outside the door.
Qingye’s eyes widened as he looked at the thing that Niu Gui was dragging with one hand:
“Old man, this is… a bear paw?!”
“Hahahaha, of course. Yesterday’s tea jelly was boring. As a monster, I still have to eat meat!”
Hua Piao was obviously very satisfied with Aoba’s expression.
This kid…
I would be surprised if I encountered something like this!
“Although it’s great that you brought your own ingredients, my shop can’t handle them right now…”
Qingye walked forward and carefully observed the bear paw, then looked a little embarrassed.
The hair was very thick and it was basically impossible to cut it with his kitchen knife, so he had to burn it with a high fire.
However…a bear paw this big must have become a spirit, and it is still questionable whether ordinary fire can burn off the fur.
“Can’t you handle it?”
“Well, there’s too much hair. I might not be able to burn it…”
Aoba hadn’t finished speaking yet.
Hua Piao took a deep puff from his pipe, and the white smoke rings from the pipe gradually spread and wrapped around the bear paw.
Then, it suddenly turned into a dark purple transparent flame and burned fiercely!
After a few seconds.
The distinct black hairs on the bear’s paw were instantly burned away.
The entire bear paw became extremely smooth.
“Is this okay?”
Hua Piao looked at Qingye with great pride.
This is the signature skill of the cunning ghost.
“Of course you can, but since you’re so strong, why don’t you help them to the end…”
“It’s so big that my pot can’t hold it all. Would you mind cutting it into smaller pieces for me?”
“No problem.”
Old man Happo looked at Ushiwakamaru standing beside him.
The latter immediately understood.
Qingye didn’t even see him take out the knife, and several flashes of knife light flashed by in the blink of an eye.
The huge bear paw was directly cut into small pieces of almost the same size.
“What a convenient ability…”
He took out a large basin of water from the kitchen and put the bear paws in it.
“Old man, my pot may not hold enough food later. You and this person can take the rest back.”
“It’s not that troublesome. The rest is just your hard work fee.”
Today’s slide is very generous.
“Of course, it has to be delicious!”
“Otherwise I won’t pay later.”
Chapter 40: Special Ingredients! Mysterious Purification Skills!! (Old Version)
“No problem, but the bear paw may take some time…”
“Before that, would you like some of my new snacks?”
Qingye smiled and immediately said that it was no problem at all.
But we must not forget to promote our own braised food.
He made so much, and although he ate half of it himself, there was still more than half left.
This is completely different from what he thought!
It’s all because his guests have such small appetites!
“Is there?”
“Then… two servings.”
Hua Piao glanced sideways at Niu Gui.
The latter nodded slightly at him and sat down directly behind him.
“Okay, please wait.”
Qingye looked at Huapiao and Niugui, nodded, and walked towards the kitchen.
He didn’t care too much about the two people’s identities as monsters.
On the contrary, he prefers guests like these two.
Edible!
Return to the kitchen.
I quickly prepared two platters of braised food, and gave the other customers three times the amount of almost every dish!
Then he used both hands to bring it to Hua Liao and Niu Gui.
As a monster.
They are instinctively very sensitive to smells.
This is especially true for snacks like braised food that I have never seen before.
“It has the flavor of special spices and Chinese herbs.”
Niu Gui looked at the reddish-colored braised food in front of him, and could smell no less than ten kinds of spices and herbs just by the smell.
If he could cook, he would probably be called “God’s Nose”.
“Well, this kid’s cooking skills are really good!”
Hua Piao put down the pipe in his hand and looked at the food on the table quite seriously.
Although he couldn’t analyze the types of spices like Niu Gui, he didn’t have a particularly deep understanding of cooking.
But the purpose of his coming here today
Just to find out whether this kid’s cooking can increase the monster’s power!
For this purpose, we specially asked Niu Gui to come and verify it.
In the Nura group, he is the most intelligent monster.
His predecessor was a human, and he was also known as a ‘child prodigy’.
Much smarter than other monsters.
“Try it first.”
Nurarihyon’s eyes suddenly became serious.
Even though the old man was short in stature, he exuded an unquestionable strength.
“clear.”
Niu Gui nodded deeply.
They both picked up the braised food from the plate and put it into their mouths at the same time.
Niu Gui first made a puzzled sound, then frowned as if he was verifying something.
The long black hair behind him moved without wind!
The fear filled with hatred and terror seemed to be stirring at this moment.
The memory of his previous life as a human kept swirling in the mind of the cow ghost.
He…seemed to be remembering a lot of things.
Mountain of Tears, Ox Ghost, Mother…
“Ushiwakamaru, are you thinking about the past again?”
The sound coming from the front woke Niu Gui up suddenly.
Looking into the distance.
Nurarihyon seemed to have returned to his youth, still as confident, arrogant and unruly!
The long flowing hair fluttered slowly along with the inky “fear” behind her.
Just like when he was young, he led the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to defeat him.
“General…”
Niu Gui took a deep breath to ease his somewhat extreme emotions.
More than three hundred years have passed since he fell into the devil’s way and became a monster while in human form.
A lot of my previous memories have been forgotten as time goes by.
In the long fight.
sometimes.
He seemed to have forgotten his own origins.
He had forgotten that he once lived in this world as Ushiwakamaru, a human being.
Niu Gui stared at the food on the table in a daze.
Nurarihyon looked at Aoba in the kitchen with a slightly evil look and whispered, “Do you feel it?”
“Yeah, I feel it.”
Niu Gui also looked towards the kitchen.
That human boy…
The power of “thought” that is powerful enough to subvert the world.
Able to make dishes that increase demonic power!
If this ability were to be known to other monster forces outside of Kyoto, Kyoto would probably be ushered in another era of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!!
“The ability to almost subvert the entire monster world…”
Hua Piao shook his head and looked deeply at the kitchen.
Even though he had once defeated Yuyuko and re-established the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, he still felt that he was old.
I am finding this world increasingly difficult to understand.
“Bull ghost.”
“I’m here!”
“You will lead some members of the Ushio-gumi and Nura-gumi and try to place them around District 20.”
“clear!!”
“This matter is justified under the pretext of Nura’s expansion. Only you and I know the reason, and I won’t disclose it to the public for now.”
Nurarihyon narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
In this era where humans value demons more than humans, he doesn’t know how long he can protect the Nura clan’s ship.
Especially when someone like Aoba appears.
It seems to make the situation even more difficult for future monsters.
After all, some forces…
He has long coveted the territory of Kyoto.
Despite the existence of the Procuratorate, there are still some despicable people doing things in secret.
And before these unknowns come.
He must strengthen his own forces as much as possible.
“So, what are you waiting for, Niugui?”
Poof!
The slipper changed its original size and returned to the old man’s image.
Look at the braised food platter in front of you and start eating.
“It tastes really good!”
“Gyu-gui, I want to take this guy back to the Nura clan!”
Watching Hua Liao stuff the braised food into his mouth without caring about his image.
Niu Gui couldn’t help but nodded.
He looked at the food in front of him and started to gobble it up.
The hand holding the chopsticks even left an afterimage!
“Well….”
As soon as he separated some of the bear paw and added it into the pressure cooker, Qingye returned to the front hall.
Looking at the two of them, they looked like starving ghosts reincarnated.
“Would you like another helping?”
Qingye paused, then smiled with great satisfaction.
“Please give me another one, no, three more!”
“Excuse me, manager, for two cups of sake.”
Huapiao and Niugui’s special physiques allow them to eat almost anything.
It’s just a few slightly larger dishes, really a small deal.
“no problem!”
Qingye immediately made arrangements for the two of them.
“Did you notice anything was wrong?”
“It seems… a little bit.”
“Why do I feel like I’ve eaten too much?”
Looking at the remaining braised food on the plate, Hua Liao suddenly felt like he couldn’t eat any more.
There is a feeling that the whole body is filled with something.
“Could this also be that kid’s special ability?!”
“Ahem…”
The cow ghost didn’t say anything.
He just drank the sake in the cup silently and burped as if filling a gap.
“This kind of food can actually fill a monster?!”
It really opened my eyes!
Huapiao saw that Niu Gui had stood up and started walking.
Naturally, I understand that the other party can’t eat it either.
The Ushi-Oni was once a powerful demon that devoured many monsters during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!
Can these few plates of braised food fill the other person’s stomach?!
He absolutely doesn’t believe it.
This must be Qingye’s special ability.
Qingye, who was humming a tune in the kitchen while preparing to make bear paws, suddenly paused.
[Purification Skill +1]Looking at the panel that lit up in front of him, he seemed to understand something.
Could it be that…
Is this skill to feed monsters?
Chapter 41 Perfect Cooking? Gluttony Skill Improvement! (Old Version)
Bear paw was once one of the eight delicacies.
Needless to say, its taste is amazing.
As the direct disciple of the state banquet chef, Qingye must have learned the recipe.
Although I have never cooked with real ingredients, I have used beef tendon, which is similar to bear paw, several times.
After all, in the previous life, eating bear paws was forbidden.
I just didn’t expect it.
The cooking dream that was not fulfilled in the previous life was actually realized in this life.
Aoba looked at the bear paws stewing in the pressure cooker.
Roll up your sleeves a little and start preparing other side dishes.
Ham, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, scallops
These are the side dishes for this dish.
It can enhance the deliciousness of bear paw to the extreme.
Wash and dry with kitchen paper.
Cut each side dish into slices of uniform size and thickness.
After the end.
The bear paws in the pressure cooker were almost cooked.
Maybe it’s the difference in this world.
It only took less than thirty minutes before the bear paw could be pierced through with chopsticks.
Take out the bear paw and place it on a special butcher’s table.
Even if the bear paw was cut into small pieces, it was still the size of Qingye’s palm.
And each piece has a special aroma.
This is completely different from any other ingredients Aoba has handled before!
Not a single fishy smell!
Let it cool down a bit.
Qingye began to cut it into pieces two centimeters thick and five centimeters wide.
This is where your knife skills are extremely tested.
Because if the bear paw is cut too thick or too thin, it will seriously affect the taste of the dish.
Cut into about two portions.
Qingye placed the ingredients in the steamer in the order of one piece of bear paw and then one piece of other ingredients.
And put some spices on it.
It can then be steamed in the special oden broth.
Next comes the waiting time.
“Old man, can you still eat?”
Qingye leaned out from the back kitchen and asked Huapiao.
After all, this was his first time making this dish.
I’m not very good at controlling the taste.
It would be best if we could get some customer reviews.
However, Huapiao and Niugui had already eaten too much braised food before, and it was not certain whether they could eat more now.
It’s quiet in the middle of the night.
Only the fire in the stove was roaring and flickering.
“Feel sorry…”
“I might not be able to eat anymore.”
Old man Huapiao was holding his belly and looked embarrassed.
The food this kid makes is delicious, but it makes you feel uncomfortable if you eat too much!
“ah?”
A look of disappointment appeared on Qingye’s face, and then he looked at Niu Gui.
“And this gentleman?”
“I’m so sorry, I can’t eat anymore.”
Niu Gui stood in the store and also shook his head at Qingye.
His condition is slightly better than that of the sliding one.
“Will you pack up your food and take it back later?”
Qingye was a little disappointed, but he still smiled slightly in the blink of an eye.
It was a pity that he couldn’t hear the first-hand evaluation, but he also didn’t consider that the other party might not be able to eat it.
Huapiao immediately shook his head.
It’s okay to eat this thing in Qingye’s store, but if you take it back and someone else eats it, you will definitely be in big trouble.
“But I’ve already put it in the pot…”
“You keep it for yourself, there’s so much anyway.”
Huapiao walked out the door with her belly bulging.
“I’ll try it next time I come.”
“Niu Gui, leave.”
Just take the lead and leave.
Niu Gui followed behind him, looked at Qingye deeply, and left as well.
Aoba was left alone in the store, dumbfounded.
What?!
Let me eat it myself?
He looked at the big pot on the stove in the back kitchen that was already emitting white steam.
I looked at the empty shop again.
Sigh slowly.
Aoba sat back down by the stove.
He looked at the steam rising from the transparent lid of the pot, which continuously condensed into water droplets and slowly dripped onto the edge.
The snow-white bear paw seemed to become more tempting as the mist rose and fell.
The umami and fat of the soup are constantly forced out by the steam from the broth and seep into the mushrooms and scallops next to it.
The taste is also undergoing earth-shaking changes little by little.
The sound of the steamer’s countdown startled Qingye’s wandering thoughts.
“alright.”
Even if it’s food that I made myself.
But Qingye is still full of expectations.
In his previous life, he would have struggled his entire life to eat this dish but never been able to do so.
I didn’t expect that I could still eat slowly by myself now.
Really…
Qingye smiled with satisfaction.
Then open the steamer, cover the bear paw with another plate, and flip it over with force!
A famous dish – Braised Bear Paw Cloud Slices is ready!
No other seasonings were added.
It is only supported by the freshness of the ingredients themselves.
even so.
At the moment of opening.
Qingye seemed to see a roaring black bear appear in front of him.
Surrounded by clouds and mist.
He could even sense the black bear’s dying howl.
Is this thing normal?
Looking at the food that seemed to have strange phenomena, Qingye didn’t know whether he should put down the chopsticks or not.
Could it be that Grandpa Huapiao and his men really managed to get a black bear monster?
“Forget it, it won’t kill anyone anyway.”
What are you afraid of if you do it yourself?
Without saying a word.
Grab a piece and put it in your mouth.
An incomparable umami flavor rushed straight to the top of the head! !
Definitely not ordinary ingredients!!
The moment it enters your mouth.
Qingye could directly feel the strong demands from his stomach.
eat!
Gotta eat this!!
The moment you bite into the bear paw, the juice melts in your mouth.
Countless cells in the body seem to be celebrating at this moment!!!
[Super Taste Skill +5]【……】
[Super Taste Skill Upgrade lv2]Qingye had no time to pay attention to the reminder coming from his ears.
The taste buds dancing wildly on the tip of his tongue allowed him to taste the flaws in every cooking step.
“The thickness of the slices is still not right. Just five millimeters thinner will be fine.”
“The quality of scallops is not good…”
“The steaming time exceeded 40 seconds…”
“The soup stock is too strong…”
Just the taste.
This allowed his super sense of taste to be further improved.
The past production process, stimulated by the taste buds, replayed in his mind like a slow motion.
Every detail and every key point affects the final taste of this dish!
However,.,
This doesn’t seem to be the limit of this dish.
After entering the mouth.
The delicious taste seemed to permeate every part of his body.
He seemed to hear countless cells in his body cheering!
The most crucial organ for the gluttony skill—the stomach!!
At this moment, I felt a joy like a refreshing rain after a long drought!!!
[Gluttony Skill Experience +5][Gluttony skill level increased to lv4]The reminder echoed again.
Aoba could no longer hear anything at this moment.
He just felt as if his whole body was shaking and trembling.
Like a black bear running wildly in the forest!
Full of energy!!
The power is enough to clear away everything in front of it!!!
“Am I normal?”
Qingye finally came to his senses and touched the changes in his body.
I found that he didn’t turn into a weirdo or a black bear monster.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Reach out and hold the chopping board next to the stove.
Boom!
The wooden chopping board was like tofu, and it turned into powder with just a slight press from him.
“No…has your strength increased so much?”
Looking at the chopping board that had been broken into pieces and wood powder.
Qingye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Luckily, I didn’t touch the pot, otherwise, wouldn’t the guy eating be dead?!
When I secretly rejoice.
He also looked at the panel.
【Guests: Kamishiro Rize (30), Yamabuki Otome (20), Arato Hisako (10), Nakiri Erina (1), Kasumigaoka Utaha (1)】

There is also a new entry.
【High energy: full of energy and improved physical condition】
Um.
Easy to understand.
What it literally means is that I almost don’t need to sleep now.
It also improves your physical condition.
No wonder…
Now I can see things very clearly.
Aoba blinked.
Through the window sill of the kitchen, he could clearly see the night view outside the window.
The clarity seems to have evolved from 1080p to 4k in an instant.
“Yeah, very good!”
Qingye closed the panel with satisfaction.
The improvement of his gluttony skill is the biggest gain from this dish.
so…
This dish is full of flaws, so let’s just get rid of it.
Look at this braised bear paw cloud slices that is almost exactly the same as the one made by the teacher.
Aoba showed a hint of nostalgia.
I finally surpassed him.
Quiet little shop.
Those who rose early had already fallen asleep, and those who were caught up in the revelry did not know where they were.
And this…
But it is a good time for the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
From the streets of District 20, an unknown fog spread.
Figures of various shapes gathered from the darkness in all directions.
Hundreds of years later, on the streets of Tokyo, the wave of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has been set off again!
“Is this the place?”
“Kuang Gu, stop making trouble.”
“Hey, I’ll go see him.”
The wooden door was pushed open by some force.
A petite figure jumped in from outside the door.
“Are you our new general?!”
Chapter 42: A Girl Like a Mountain Blowing Flower! The Lord of All Monsters! (Old Version)
Zongman: This is a pub, do you think it’s a sex shop?: Chapter 42: A girl as beautiful as a mountain flower! The Lord of a Hundred Demons!
Streets of Tokyo.
Countless mists mixed with raindrops that fell at some unknown time gradually obscured the view.
In this sudden misty autumn rain.
Those who are fast asleep are still sleeping soundly.
Those who revel still revel.
Hundreds of ghosts roam the place at night, and some people mingle among them, happier than the ghosts themselves.
“Kyoto today is truly unique…”
Leading many monsters, wandering the streets of Tokyo as if returning in brocade clothes.
There seemed to be a little light in Yamabuki Otome’s eyes.
She seemed to recall the time when she was the lord of ghosts and monsters, and countless monsters submitted to her.
At that time, it was the world of humans.
But it is also the world of monsters.
“Time passes…”
“The monster has been forgotten…”
The mountains are blooming.
Just like her soft whisper.
The fear of the lord of all demons shrouded the streets of Tokyo.
The long black hair fluttered, creating ripples.
Golden yellow mountain blowflowers bloomed on every street corner.
“Sister, where are we going now?”
The petite loli following the maiden asked curiously.
She was holding a skull with a green snake coiled inside it.
“Go somewhere you have to go.”
Yamabuki Otome smiled and touched Kuang Gu’s head, which made the latter very happy.
“Our future general is there.”
“Eh?! General-in-Chief!!!”
There was a lot of doubt in Kuanggu’s small body, and his two round eyes were full of confusion.
“Sister, aren’t you our general?”
“No, he would be more suitable to be our general than me.”
As Yamabuki Otome spoke, her face was filled with maternal radiance.
Her slender fingers lightly stroked her lower abdomen.
A faint sense of excitement made her steps tremble, and an involuntary moan almost emerged from her throat.
The strange monster behind him ran up.
“Mad Bones-sama! Otome-sama!”
“We found two humans up ahead. They seem to be the people from the Inspection Office that Otome-sama mentioned earlier!”
“Kill him, sister?”
Kuang Gu sat on the floating skull, his smooth feet shaking constantly.
“That direction?”
Yamabuki Otome’s eyes darkened slightly.
“Knock out those two humans and throw them out.”
The strange monster nodded and flew away again.
The Kuang Gu beside him suddenly looked at Yamabuki Otome with wide eyes: “Onee-sama, is it because of our general?”
“Well, let’s go meet him.”
The night is hazy.
In the small shop, Qingye struggled to finish a plate of braised bear paw.
He seemed to understand how Huapiao and Niugui felt just now.
It seems that he can’t eat much of this special food that can improve his skill level at one time.
But on second thought.
That’s right.
After all, if you can eat it without restriction.
Wouldn’t that make you a glutton?
Moreover, he estimated that his current strength should be comparable to that of Kamishiro Rize.
At least, the next time I meet Kamishiro Rize, I will definitely not be so passive.
He’s going to be on top!!
Just as he was thinking about how to find Kamishiro Rize to exercise his manly dignity.
The wooden door of the shop was pushed open.
“Ah… Welcome.”
Aoba stood up reflexively and looked towards the door.
However, apart from a little mist filling the shop, there seemed to be no one there.
“Are you our general?”
The soft and cute voice of a little loli came from Qingye’s ears.
He glanced sideways slightly.
A little girl, only one meter tall, was sitting on the table, swinging her little feet.
He was playing with a skull with a green poisonous snake in his hand.
“this….”
Did I disturb the monster’s nest tonight?
Qingye was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted. He bent down, looked directly into the little girl’s eyes, and smiled:
“I’m not some general. Can’t you find your way home?”
“Can you contact your family?”
In response to Qingye’s question, Kuanggu did not say anything, but just looked at the handsome big brother in front of him curiously.
Then not surprisingly
“Ah! Onee-sama’s flowers!”
She saw the swaying mountain shrub in the corner of the front hall.
It blooms grandly and elegantly.
“Onee-sama?”
Qingye’s puzzled eyes seemed to understand something.
In other words…
Is this child a subordinate of that ‘fox demon’ girl?
After all, according to Hua Piao, weak monsters will join the ranks of powerful monsters.
This is also a way of survival.
He was just thinking about asking.
An irresistible and elegant voice came from outside the door.
“Kuang Gu, you can’t be impolite.”
“Okay, onee-sama!”
A girl dressed in black slowly walked into the izakaya.
Black JK, black pantyhose, black hair, black eyes…
There seemed to be no color in her.
It was as if she was abandoned by the world since birth.
The ‘fox demon’ girl is here again.
“Master Qingye, I am sorry to bother you.”
Yamabuki Otome bowed slightly towards Aoba.
This is very standard Yamato Nadeshiko etiquette.
“Hello.”
Aoba was not used to the girl’s sudden change.
He was clearly saying he wanted to eat me early this morning, why did he suddenly change his attitude now?
The girl seemed to understand Aoba’s expression.
With a slight, imperceptible smile on his lips, he slowly said:
“I’m so sorry about what happened this morning. If Master Qingye wants, I’m always available.”
“No, no thanks.”
Qingye stepped back slightly, his eyes, which had been somewhat puzzled, suddenly became awakened, and he quickly took two steps back.
This girl is definitely teasing him, right?
After taking a deep breath.
Perhaps it was the confidence brought by his improved physical condition that prevented him from being as passive as he was in the early morning.
He then turned back to normal and looked at Yamabuki Otome and said, “Would you two like to eat something?”
“Onee-sama, there’s something very fragrant inside.”
Kuang Gu stood beside Yamabuki Otome at some point, sniffed with the tip of his nose, and pointed at the kitchen with his finger.
“Then… please give one portion to Master Aoba.”
Yamabuki Otome smiled and nodded.
However, Qingye did not agree to the other party’s request.
“Sorry, that dish was specially prepared with ingredients provided by someone, so…”
Yamabuki Otome’s eyes froze for a moment, and then she tapped her toes lightly.
Qingye was completely unable to stop it.
Went directly to the kitchen.
I saw the braised bear paw slices on the steamer.
“The Black Bear of Tears Mountain…”
The girl immediately understood.
He turned to look at Qingye who had also followed in, and a dangerous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“What a guy…who likes to steal food.”
“Ah? What do you mean by cheating…”
Aoba still hasn’t figured out the situation.
I seemed to smell a faint fragrance of mountain flowers at the tip of my nose.
“You already have a concubine, yet you’re still hanging out with those wild monsters…”
The girl’s delicate face was right in front of him, and her black eyes gazed at Qingye affectionately.
At this moment.
It was as if Qingye was the only one in her life.
“Lord Aoba~”
“I get angry sometimes too.”
Again!
The fragrance of mountain flowers invaded Aoba’s lips.
No… again?
Qingye’s eyes widened a little.
But then I thought about it.
It would have been fine if I was forced by you when my physical condition hadn’t improved, but now that my physical condition has improved, I’m still being forced by you?
Didn’t I upgrade in vain?
Simply…
Go all the way!
Yamabuki Otome, whose hands were suppressed, suddenly widened her eyes and was a little confused for a moment.
However, looking at those captivating eyes.
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
What a naughty child!
Sometimes it is also a wife’s responsibility to meet children’s unreasonable demands.
He closed his eyes again and let Qingye take what he wanted.
However…
This situation did not last long.
A crisp slap sounded.
“Ah~!”
Yamabuki Otome, who looked like a gentle and graceful wife from the moment she entered the door, finally had a blush on her face.
When he opened his eyes and looked at Qingye, who looked like the head of the family, his weak little expression looked very pitiful.
“This is punishment!”
“Ah~I…I understand!”

Qingye suddenly felt that his whole body seemed to be filled with a refreshing feeling.
Like a new life!
“Hiss~”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
“It hurts a little~”
“Oh, sorry.”
Qingye withdrew his hand that was playing tricks in front of him embarrassedly.
“Um…she didn’t see it outside, right?”
“Lord Qingye, are you worried about this now?”
The corners of the girl’s mouth curled up maliciously, and her eyes looked straight at Qingye.
“If Master Qingye wants, Kuang Gu… can do it too!”
“Ahem…I’m not that perverted!”
“Well, no matter when, as long as Master Qingye needs it, I can always satisfy you…”
The girl’s black eyes seemed to want to swallow up everything of Qingye.
“Can you give me something else?”
“All that belongs to Master Aoba.”
