Most of the diners enjoying the food were old acquaintances and were unmoved by the general's loud voice. Arima Norimune and Imagawa Kashiwagi, who were sitting around the small square table not far away, heard the sound, looked back, and waved quickly. There are three types of seats in this kind of small shop in the island country. The seats surrounding the semi-open kitchen bar are usually for single diners. At the same time, there are not many seats with tables and chairs. Some restaurants have only tables but no chairs, which makes diners want to leave as soon as they finish their meal. What is more distinctive is the small square table seat on the tatami. When dining, you need to take off your shoes to sit on it, which is similar to eating cross-legged on the Kang in the Northeast. As a southerner, Higashinoyu had seen this scene before and was thinking about a question at the time. If someone had smelly feet, would it be a bit embarrassing to take off their shoes to eat. Dong Yeyu didn't know if others would be embarrassed, but as a fox with a keen sense of smell, he didn't like it. But don't be too particular about free roasted birds. Higashino Yu took the initiative to weaken his sense of smell a little more until it was slower than ordinary people. The part-time female college student walked over and wrote down the order of the customer in her notebook with her head lowered. "Guest, what dishes would you like to order? We have grilled onion skewers, chicken breast skewers, chicken gizzards skewers, and chicken skin skewers."
She skillfully explained the types of skewers in the store, her tone hiding deep fatigue, her expression in a daze, her eyelids as heavy as iron gates, and she stood swaying as if she was about to collapse. Just when the world in front of him was about to turn dark and his body was losing balance, a strong arm supported him. She hurriedly opened her eyes, and stared at the high school boy in front of her with dark circles in her eyes. Probably because he was afraid that the shop owner and general would find out that she almost fell asleep in front of customers during working hours, he smiled and said softly: "Please be careful." It's just that the warm incandescent light is the same as usual, but now it seems to be covered with a rose-colored filter. Finally I met him, it was a handsome guy from Tokyo! She grew up in the countryside and did not enter Tokyo until college. She came here with great expectations, but found that she did not belong in this bustling city. Just staying here was already exhausting her efforts. With a full part-time job schedule and very little sleep time, she was so exhausted that she no longer had the energy to appreciate the city she once longed for. She even hesitated whether to leave here after graduating from college. . Until now, her unrealistic fantasy when she graduated from high school has come true in such an unexpected and surprising way. "Thanks." She thanked her in a low voice, and suddenly realized that all the beautiful memories this city had brought to her from Tokyo to now were not as heart-warming as the smile of the high school boy in front of her. The thing she had been hesitating in her heart was gone. Decide. Then, go home after graduation, to that small city by the sea. Most beautiful people have no self-consciousness. In fact, sometimes just ordinary exchanges of greetings and ceremonial words of concern with others may have become a bright piece of the puzzle in other people's few beautiful memories, and will be treasured. . Even if time decays the appearance many years later, the beauty that even oneself has forgotten will still shine brightly in someone's cherished memory. "I'd like ten skewers of onion and meat skewers, ten skewers of chicken meatballs, five skewers of chicken skin, and a cup of frozen oolong tea, thank you." After supporting the female college student who almost fell asleep due to exhaustion, Higashino Yu stretched his neck to look at the barbecue ordered by other customers and ordered what he wanted to eat. A skewer of meat and onions in this shop is only 200 yen, and other skewers are about the same price. It’s high quality and low price, so I don’t have to be polite to Arima Zezong. Appropriately accepting reciprocal gifts from others will actually make others feel better most of the time, making them feel that they have repaid the favor. As time goes by, the bond between people becomes deeper and deeper. This is how friends come to be.
Arima Norimune and Imagawa Kashiwagi each ordered the skewers and drinks they wanted. After the female college student took note of them carefully, she went to the bar general and was the first to inform Higashino Yu of their orders. Tsk tsk tsk! The hot fire grilled the chicken skewers until they were sizzling with oil, and the dripping fat occasionally splashed with flames. "It's really unfair that good-looking people get invisible preferential treatment even when eating, right?" Arima Norimune saw that the general was the first to order for the three of him, and he laughed softly in a voice that only the three of them could hear. "Things in the world are inherently unfair. Height, body shape, and intelligence are all determined innately. Even if some people work hard, they may not even be able to touch the starting point of some people's birth." Dong Yeyu said rather sadly. "That's right. If I had a body like yours, Higashino, I wouldn't have lost today's fight." Arima Norimune sighed. "It's purely because you didn't exercise much, and your physical strength was too much later. Otherwise, why would you lose so ugly?" "Arima-kun's strength decline in the second half is indeed a bit serious." Imagawa Kashiwagi was on the side to make up for it. Arima Zezong couldn't help but hummed as he took the drink brought by the female college student. "There are still more than two months before the Jade Dragon Banner. I can still become stronger. Thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi! Wait, there are two or three big and small cats in the Kendo Club. They will definitely not be able to defeat others. When the time comes, the hero Uncle Ma will appear. !” Why did I hear him talking about how the Tachibana Kendo Club was in danger? Dong Yeyu was a little curious, "Aren't there so many swordsman masters in the club?" "Who do you mean?" "For example, defeating your Tetsuo Sugaya." "Him? Such a mediocre villain, why should I care about him? I will catch him sooner or later if there are dry bones in the grave!" "That senior Yasuhara looks good too." "President Yasuhara, although his strength is acceptable, he is timid and scheming. He is not a hero when he cherishes his own life when doing big things, and forgets his righteousness when he sees small gains." Arima Nozune shook his head, raised his drink and clinked it with Higashino Yu's oolong tea. "In my opinion, the Jade Pillar of the Kendo Club that holds the golden beam across the sea must be you and me." Then he looked at Imagawa Kashiwagi: "Imagawa, why don't you also join the Kendo Club? Then the three of us will work together to massacre from Kanto to Kansai!" "Me? I can't do it, I just practiced kendo for a while when I was in junior high school." "I'll teach you." Arima Norimune showed a mysterious smile to Higashino Yu and Imagawa Kashiwagi: "Aren't you curious why my swordsmanship has improved so quickly in just a few days?" "Why?" "Ancestors appearing?" Arima Norimune was not sure either. He frowned while peeling edamame and said: "I have been having a strange dream these days. In the dream, I became a warrior on the battlefield——"
Men are strange creatures. Whenever they get together, their thinking seems to be sublimated. . From the filial piety of parents to the rise and fall of great nations, from campus bullying to social philosophy, from single-celled organisms to the edge of the universe, such brainstorming will continue until everyone is thirsty, tongue-tied, and dizzy. By the time Dong Yeyu and the three of them chatted and finished eating and drinking, and went out, the sky was already completely dark. There are no stars, only a bright moon. The bright star-like light spreads from the front to the end of the field of vision. The high-rise buildings are lit up, like the Milky Way that has escaped from the night and abandoned the bright moon. "How about we go to karaoke?" Arima Zezon suggested that Higashinoyu and I originally had no objections, but after walking a few steps, the cell phone in Imagawa Kashiwagi's trouser pocket rang. "Hi, I'm Imakawa, is he drunk? Okay, I'll be right back." After answering the phone, he said helplessly: "Sorry, I can't go. My father is drunk and no one is watching the store. I have to go back to help." Just like the five platoons of good brothers, as long as one person leaves due to various things in the middle, the remaining buddies will soon fall apart. After Imagawa Kashiwagi left, it was no fun to go to karaoke with Ma Zezong and Higashino Yu. Thinking that he would go to Miko's house to deliver medicine and visit the tree demon, Higashino Yu also said goodbye. After saying goodbye to Arima Norimune and walking on the street, Higashinoyu began to think about what gift to buy for the tree demon who reminded Xiuji. He has nothing to gain now, and the mortal things that the tree demon is about to come will probably be of no use, and he has no spiritual things either. The only grass-returning elixir is for Yuzi. Dong Yeyu thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that Yuzi said that she invited some fur dumplings to eat biscuits. And those furry dumplings later appeared next to the tree demon. I think there should be some relationship between the two, so let's buy some biscuits as souvenirs. Gifts are secondary, and the most important thing is to come to the door to say thank you in person. Gifts are less important than affection. So I walked around the streets in Koto District and found a cake shop called Keller Desserts. Entering the cake shop filled with warm, bright lights and rich sweet aroma, I simply selected a few bags of cookies. Under the direct gaze of the female clerk, he handed the biscuits to her for bagging. After the QR code scanning machine beeped, the red lips spoke a cold and ruthless number in a very gentle voice. Grooved ones, a few bags of biscuits for two thousand yen? I worked hard part-time for an hour and it only cost me this little money. If I had known, it would have been more fun to go to the old wagashi shop down the street to buy some cheap desserts. Dong Yeyu sighed in his heart and took a look at the few bags of cookies in the bag that were not rich and even a little shabby. But this is not a slight courtesy, at least not to myself. It was close to eight o'clock in the evening when I got home. When I opened the door, I was surprised to find Xiuji lying in his bed practicing. Although it is almost impossible to see the ups and downs of heaven and earth, it is indeed breathing. He wasn't too focused when practicing. Just the sound of opening the door made him wake up. Seeing that it was Dong Yeyu who was back, he quickly fluttered his wings and flew out of his nest. First, he said his usual greetings, then he stumbled to the entrance, followed him, and talked a bit incoherently.
"My lord, I have almost completed eight hours of practice today." Dong Yeyu naturally knew what the bird wanted to do, so he stuffed the neck of the cookie bag in his hand into the bird's mouth and let him hold it. "Take it, come with me. We agreed to visit the tree demon tonight. We can't miss the promise." Three thousand words. I wrote 6,000 words today. I’m sleepy and tired. Brother, please give me a vote.
