An iPad covered with mucus was spit out from the woman's mouth. She held the iPad in both hands, stuck out her slender tongue, and skillfully swiped it across the screen.
I opened the email, read it quickly, and then read it carefully a second time from the beginning.
Tongue clicked on a video and watched the mysterious young man with red clouds and black background spewing a huge fireball from his mouth. The 'woman' couldn't help but fall silent.
"How much does our friend want for the remaining files?"
"30 million yen!"
"Send it to him immediately! I want the remaining files within today." The 'woman' made a prompt decision and said in a resolute tone.
"Yes, teacher." The puppet monster agreed.
In the tone of the two monsters' conversation, this huge amount of capital outflow seemed like just one thousand yen or three thousand yen, a trivial matter.
"Mr. Kihara, do you think my dream can come true?" After a long while, the 'woman' spoke softly.
"If it's you, teacher, then it's definitely possible!"
"To save monsters from human oppression and let monsters and humans live in peace, to realize this dream, I must seize this country! I originally planned to spend ten to fifteen years to complete this, but now the variable of 'human extraordinary' has appeared. Our dream may be postponed. But even so, Kihara-kun, you will definitely follow me."
"Of course! Teacher!" The puppet monster lay on the ground, his calm tone carrying a hint of fanaticism.
"Okay! Go inform the other monsters. Although there is no scheduled date yet, the base will be moved to the B and F safe zones. We may be in some trouble for the next period of time."
"is teacher!"
Chapter 37: The Great Lord of the Relative Domain (038 words, please read and collect)
On Tuesday, the noon school bell rang at Jinguji High School. Students rushed out of the classroom to the cafeteria, laughing and joking, or gathered in groups of three or five to share tables in the classroom or to enjoy their lunch boxes in vacant places in the school.
Uchiha Ming carried a double-layered lunch box and walked into the cafeteria with Tanaka Hikaru.
This lunch box was given to Uchiha Ming by Takasaki Tsuki in the morning when he waited for him at the school gate. He avoided the students' sight and quietly handed it to him as a thank you for his help in rescuing Takasaki An last night.
Gao Qiyue’s cooking skills are very good. Since the food is served to us, it would be a waste not to eat it.
When he took the lunch box, it was still slightly warm, but it had already gone cold after a morning. Uchiha Ming was not like other classmates who liked to eat cold lunch boxes.
The school cafeteria also has a microwave, which can be used to heat up food.
By the time Uchiha Ming had heated up his bento and sat down to eat, Tanaka Mitsuru had already sat next to Uchiha Ming with a tempura set meal in his hand, as if he was familiar with the meal.
When you open the bento box, you will see meatballs, fried bamboo wheels, grilled mackerel cubes, cold burdock and other side dishes on one layer, and another layer full of rice with seaweed rice seasoning sprinkled on top.
"Uchiha, why did you suddenly bring a bento? It looks like it was made by a girl. Uchiha, have you betrayed the idea of being single and secretly had a girlfriend?" Tanaka Mitsuru said with eyes wide open and a look of surprise.
"This bento was actually bought at a convenience store near my home." Uchiha Ming said casually.
As for whether Tanaka Mitsuru believed it or not, he didn't bother to care and just picked up the chopsticks.
Probably because he had seen Uchiha Ming's appetite in the cooking class, this bento was very thick and filling.
"A bento from a convenience store?"
Tanaka Hikaru's eyes rolled around, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"This precious fried shrimp is for you, let me taste your meatballs!"
"No need, if you want to eat, just pick it up yourself."
Seeing that Tanaka Hikaru hadn't even picked up his chopsticks yet, Uchiha Ming said indifferently.
"Very good, full and solid taste, the meat juices splash in your mouth when you bite it. Three parts fat and seven parts lean, a little crispy when chewed, it's because of the water chestnuts."
Tanaka Mitsuru stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a meatball, put it into his mouth and started chewing.
"This taste is very good, very good. The most important thing is that it doesn't feel like love. It seems that Uchiha, you did not betray your brothers and find a way out of being single."
After finishing the meatballs, Mitsuru Tanaka tasted them with satisfaction, like a gourmet.
"It tastes very good. Let me try a piece of mackerel. I like fish the most."
Tanaka Hikaru picked up another piece of grilled mackerel with his chopsticks. As soon as he put it in his mouth, his brows furrowed:
"The taste is average. Compared with the meatballs just now, it's much inferior. It doesn't look like they were made by the same person. But, this kind of thoughtfulness..."
Tanaka Hikaru's face showed a complicated expression as he chewed the mackerel in his mouth:
"With shy gratitude, the girl's love seems to have just sprouted. Uchiha, you really have a girlfriend!"
Uchiha Ming was somewhat amused and confused. Tanaka Hikaru, do you think you have a divine tongue that can taste the emotions in food? Do you think you are the protagonist of some gourmet anime?
Food is just divided into delicious and unpalatable. There is no such thing as thought. The so-called mother's taste is nothing more than the taste that is accustomed to in memory.
Shaking his head, Uchiha Ming picked up a meatball and took a bite. It was indeed good, with a homely taste, and delicate changes on top of that, which left a long aftertaste.
Remembering what Tanaka Mitsuru said, he picked up the grilled mackerel and tasted it. Well, it was just as Tanaka Mitsuru said, very ordinary, a little overcooked, and had a dry and woody texture.
Compared to the food I've eaten before, it's obviously inferior. Did Takasaki Tsuki fail?
Anyway, it's edible. Uchiha Ming has never cared about the taste. He picked up the lunch box and gobbled it up in no time.
After dinner, I heard Tanaka Mitsuru chatting about nonsense, for example, his files on all the girls in the school, how much progress he had made, and how he would soon have all the girls' body data under his control.
"How much do you know about second-year student Chiyo Matsudaira?"
Tanaka Mitsuru is also a well-informed person and must know more.
"Sister Matsudaira, she is a top flower, a real lady from a noble family!"
When talking about this, Tanaka Hikaru became excited, his eyes lit up, and he talked nonstop:
"The Matsudaira family name is extremely noble. If we go back three hundred years, when the Tokugawa shogunate was still in power, Senior Matsudaira of noble descent would have the right to add the character '姬' to the end of her name. Commoners like us would have to kneel down and lower our heads when we saw her carriage passing by."
Matsudaira?
Although Uchiha Ming did not learn the history of the island country very well, he still had some understanding of the Tokugawa shogunate. The original nickname of the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu was Matsudaira.
"You mean the Matsudaira? The one that only a daimyo can use?"
After Tokugawa the old turtle conquered the world, the daimyo domain lords who were related to the Tokugawa family by blood were called close vassals. Except for the Gosanke and Gosanke who were closest in bloodline, who were allowed to use Tokugawa as their surname, other close vassals could only use their old surname, Matsudaira.
If this is true, then Chiyo Matsudaira is truly an extraordinary young lady.
However, Uchiha Ming felt that it was just so. As the saying goes, a phoenix that has lost its feathers is no better than a chicken. After the Meiji Restoration, the Tokugawa family withdrew from its position as the center of ruling. Moreover, after more than a hundred years of great historical changes, even the Tokugawa main family and the Gosanke and Gosanke declined, not to mention the separate families.
"Matsudaira-senpai is not only of noble descent, but also of fair skin and beautiful appearance. Most importantly, she has a kind heart that is hard to come by. When she was in Jinguji Junior High School, she was well-known for her willingness to help others. My mother told me that many grants and scholarships in Jinguji Junior High School and Senior High School were established under her initiative."
"Uchiha, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Could it be that you fell in love at first sight with Matsudaira-senpai? But even a handsome guy like you would be hard to win over," Tanaka Hikaru asked curiously.
Uchiha Ming skipped the whole story and just said that he was invited by Matsudaira Chiyo to join the support department.
"What kind of campus love comedy is this? A man and a woman alone, living in the same room. How come such a good thing doesn't happen to me? I also want to work less for 30 years. Can you really do whatever you want just because you are handsome?"
Tanaka Hikaru was already gritting his teeth with envy, his eyes were bloodshot, and he slammed the table as if he wanted to eat Uchiha alive.
"Then would you like me to introduce you to someone and let you join the support department?"
"Really?!"
"Of course, we are friends. There are only two of us in the club, so we should be short of manpower. Even if you can't join the club, the purpose of the support club is to help classmates. Tanaka, I see that you are the one who needs help. It must be hard for you not to have a girlfriend, right? But you are already in the Kyudo Club, so it should be no problem."
"What Kyudo Club? I haven't wanted to play it for a long time. Uchiha, you are really my brother, no, you are my reborn parent!" Tanaka Hikaru said excitedly with tears in his eyes.
Judging from his expression, if it weren't in the crowded cafeteria, Tanaka Mitsuru might have gotten up from his seat to express his gratitude to Uchiha Tsuchi.
"Come on, there's still some time before the lunch break ends, and Minister Matsudaira should still be in the event building, so let's go without delay."
Uchiha stood up and led the way outside, with Tanaka Mitsuru following behind him with an anxious look on his face.
"Uchiha, if I can successfully join the club, I will treat you to a feast this weekend."
Arriving at Room 501 of the club activity building, Uchiha Ming knocked on the door casually, waited a few seconds for a response, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
The girl was sitting behind the huge mahogany desk, wearing frameless black-rimmed glasses, and was writing something seriously.
"Uchiha, it's not even time for after-school club activities yet, and you're in such a hurry to come see me. Are you the tsundere type?"
Matsudaira Chiyo raised her head and gave Uchiha a charming smile. A breeze blew in from the half-open window, ruffling her long black hair.
Tanaka Mitsuru was stunned by what he saw.
Seeing Tanaka Hikaru's look, Matsudaira Chiyo's eyes turned and her smile became dull.
"Who is this silly boy?"
Tanaka Mitsuru's face flushed, he swallowed hard a few times, opened and closed his mouth, but couldn't speak.
I didn't expect that a person as talkative as Tanaka Hikaru would become timid and stutter when it came to the critical moment.
"Well, this is my classmate, Hikaru Tanaka from Class B. He heard that I joined the support department, so he came to see me. He has had a lot of troubles since he was born and needs help." Uchiha Ming coughed lightly and said.
"Oh, maybe I didn't tell you yesterday? The support department doesn't accept requests from boys for now."
Matsudaira Chiyo looked at Tanaka Hikaru with a scrutinizing gaze and chuckled, "Since this is a problem that has existed since birth, maybe it would be better to consider changing your life and starting over."
"Tanaka is not a client, but he wants to join the club. Tanaka is also a well-informed person with a good memory. He also likes to help his classmates, which coincides with the purpose of the support club. He is the talent you lack as the head coach, and I would like to recommend him to join the club."
"Since it's the Uchiha's recommendation, I'll give you a chance. Uchiha, please step out first. I want to interview Tanaka-san alone."
"Uchiha..."
Tanaka Hikaru was about to back out, and he looked at Uchiha Ming for help. Uchiha Ming patted Tanaka Hikaru on the shoulder, whispered a word of encouragement, "Come on," and left the activity room.
Uchiha Ming retreated to the door. Of course, he couldn't do anything like leaning against the door to eavesdrop. He took out his mobile phone and casually scrolled through a few pages.
A piece of news caught his attention:
"The Ground Self-Defense Force is conducting a military exercise in Yamanashi Prefecture, adjacent to Tokyo, today?"
Chapter 38 Military Exercises
Yamanashi Prefecture is located to the west of Tokyo. It is a typical inland prefecture with nearly 80% forest coverage. The world-famous Mount Fuji is located in the southern part of the prefecture.
In order to compete for the ownership of Mount Fuji, Yamanashi Prefecture and Shizuoka Prefecture are fighting each other to the death.
Mount Fuji, one of the national images of Japan, has several Ground Self-Defense Force troops stationed in Yamanashi Prefecture to the north and Shizuoka Prefecture to the east. In addition, there are even US military bases.
Uchiha Ming looked at the information he found on the Internet and felt that something was a little wrong.
It is only April now, and the Ground Self-Defense Force's exercises are basically held in summer and autumn, and most of the military exercises on the side of Mount Fuji are held in Shizuoka Prefecture rather than Yamanashi Prefecture.
The Fuji Comprehensive Firepower Exercise, held annually at the Higashi-Fuji Training Ground in Shizuoka Prefecture at the foot of Mount Fuji since 1961, is Japan's largest live-fire military exercise.
The most important thing is that Uchiha Ming covered his left eye, and under his palm, the Sharingan had already opened.
The crows he sent to monitor the movements of the Metropolitan Police Department had recently brought news that they had discovered abnormal movements of the Metropolitan Police Department's troops.
One after another, large explosion-proof police cars of the Metropolitan Police Department drove out of the headquarters, merged with a convoy on the way, and headed east. Now they have left Tokyo and arrived in Yamanashi Prefecture.
"interesting."
Uchiha Ming muttered to himself, using his mind to control the psychic crow to continue following the Metropolitan Police Department's police car and transmit the images it saw to him synchronously.
At this moment, a voice came from the activity room:
"Uchiha, you can come in now."
As soon as I entered the classroom, I saw that Tanaka Mitsuru seemed to have suffered a severe mental blow. He was kneeling on the ground with his hands supporting the ground. Although his face could not be seen, his expression must have been very unhappy.
"You failed the interview, Tanaka-san."
"Uchiha, I'm sorry..."
Tanaka Mitsuru raised his pale face, spoke in a crying tone, and then rushed out directly from the gap in the open door.
"What did you say to Tanaka Hikaru? Why does he look like he's in so much pain?" Uchiha Ming asked absentmindedly. Now his attention was focused on the crows following behind the Metropolitan Police Department's convoy.
"Just telling the truth."
Matsudaira Chiyo raised her beautiful face, looked at Uchiha Ming carefully, and smiled brightly:
"Uchiha, thank you for your hard work on your first day of work. How is business at Takasaki Izakaya?"
"Not very good. When it's crowded, it's barely half full."
The master-level knife skills displayed by Uchiha Ming did cause a small sensation among the guests in the pub. Some customers immediately expressed their desire to order sashimi, but they had to leave in disappointment as it was not in stock.
Hearing this, Matsudaira Chiyo's smile faded and she frowned thoughtfully:
"Is it true that a traditional izakaya like Takasaki Izakaya is not good enough?"
Japan's izakaya industry has long been saturated. With the decline in economic growth, the overall market has also begun to shrink, from 90 trillion yen at its peak in the to 19 trillion yen in .
