Ye Xing smiled and waved his hand.
Watching his back as he walked out of the room, Futaba Rio suddenly felt inexplicably sad.
Another Kyoto city filled with strange things and evil spirits.
In the face of this increasingly distorted world, can we really persevere with the strength of just a few of us?
Even though she is now surrounded by people like Yuigahama Yui and Yotsuya Miko, Futaba Rio still has such hesitant thoughts at times.
She couldn't imagine it.
How did Ye Xing manage to persist when he awakened his abilities and fought against the evil spirits and the "Door" alone?
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he, Yuigahama Yui, and Yotsuya Miko gathered around each other and joined the Super Energy Society.
After walking out of the living room, Futaba Rio smelled an inexplicable strange smell.
She cast her eyes towards the table in the restaurant, looking at the bowl of miso soup that looked normal on the outside, and she had an inexplicable ominous premonition in her heart.
"Xiao Liyang, please sit down."
With a sweet smile on her face, Yuigahama Yui took Futaba Rio's hand, led her to sit at the table, and pointed to the bowl of soup in front of them.
"I've been stewing this bowl of miso soup for nearly an hour. It should taste great. Come and have a try."
Futaba Rio narrowed her eyes slightly and noticed that Ye Xing, who was sitting opposite her, had a gloating look in his eyes.
She frowned slightly, thinking that judging from the appearance, even if this bowl of miso soup didn't taste good, it certainly wasn't terrible.
Moreover.
Miso soup is so simple to make. You just need to add various ingredients and cook it over low heat for a while. It is impossible for a normal person to make it taste bad.
Thinking of this, under Yuigahama Yui's expectant gaze, Futaba Rio stretched out her right hand, picked up the soup spoon, scooped a spoonful of miso soup, slightly opened her pink lips, and put the miso soup in the spoon into her mouth.
"what about the taste?"
Yuigahama Yui looked very confident.
“I feel like this is my peak work!”
Futaba Rio didn't hear what Yuigahama Yui said.
Or should I say.
The moment the spoonful of miso soup entered her mouth, she could hear nothing.
The heat from the bowl caused white mist to appear on the lenses.
Two lines of tears involuntarily flowed from the corners of Futaba Rio's eyes.
this...
What on earth is this!!!
It was just a simple bite, but Futaba Rio could feel many flavors exploding in her mouth.
That’s right, only the powerful word “exploded” could describe her feelings at that moment.
why?
Why does miso soup contain the flavors of so many ingredients, including star anise, coptis chinensis, pickles, watercress, and chili peppers?
The taste of this miso soup can no longer be described as simply unpalatable.
Such a small bowl of soup actually contains such a complex and strange taste that makes people's eyes start to wander.
Yuigahama Yui, how on earth did you make something like this!!!
This is not the point.
The point is that although the inside contains such a horrible taste, on the outside, there is nothing unusual at all, just like ordinary miso soup.
What kind of craft is this?
"How's it, Rio-chan? Is it delicious?"
Looking at Yuigahama Yui, who had no sense of the taste of her cooking at all, Futaba Rio raised her head, took off her glasses, looked directly into Yuigahama Yui's eyes, and spoke earnestly.
"Yui, maybe you can become an assassin in the future."
"assassin?"
"right..."
Futaba Rio's eyes were burning as she bit her teeth lightly.
"Cooking assassin."
.........
At eight o'clock that evening, on the top floor of a hotel in Kyoto, in the rooftop bar.
"Sir, please come in."
Although Ye Xing was only wearing an ordinary casual suit, the waiter who greeted him at the door did not look down on him at all and always maintained a polite smile.
So, it’s a five-star hotel.
Ye Xing nodded slightly, walked into the bar and sat down at the bar.
Today is Tuesday, and there are not many customers in this top-floor bar, only about two or three tables.
Sitting at the bar, you can see the colorful lights of Kyoto city at night through a row of floor-to-ceiling windows.
This was the first time Ye Xing had seen such a scene.
Usually during this time period, he would not stroll leisurely in the bustling areas, but wander around the city of Kyoto, those uninhabited, remote and dark corners, holding his own feast.
Speaking of which...
It’s been a while since I went to the other world to feast.
"Good evening, would you like something to drink..."
The girl with long smooth hair, wearing a bartender's uniform and standing at the bar, turned around and was stunned when she was halfway through her words.
"Forehead..."
Kawasaki Saki was stunned when she saw that the guest sitting there was Yexing.
"Soda, thank you."
Ye Xing's gaze did not linger on Kawasaki Saki's face for a moment, as if he didn't know the other person at all, and he said with a smile.
"okay."
Saki Kawasaki came back to her senses and responded, then turned around and poured soda water into the cup while thinking to herself with a troubled look in her eyes.
It’s bad, it’s bad. What should I do?
It would be fine if I ran into classmates from the same class while working part-time.
But she never expected to run into someone who knew her in the rooftop bar of this five-star hotel.
Saki Kawasaki doesn't care what her classmates think of her.
But if the news of her working in the bar gets to other people's ears, even though she is just a bartender, who knows what kind of reputation it will have in the end?
After all, a high school girl working in a bar is a fresh topic worth discussing for those bored students.
In addition, Saki Kawasaki's reputation in school was not very good, and she was considered a bad girl.
If this matter were known to Sobu High School...
Will you get yourself fired?
When Saki Kawasaki turned around, her expression had returned to her usual indifferent look.
She placed a glass of soda water with ice cubes in front of Ye Xing and said calmly.
"Chenghui, one hundred and sixty."
Ye Xing frowned slightly, thinking, BYD charges one hundred and sixty for just a glass of soda water with ice?
But he can understand it.
This high price of one hundred and sixty is not just the price of soda water.
It also includes the price of the top-floor bar, which overlooks the night view of Kyoto.
So expensive.
Yexing took out some money from his wallet and handed it to Saki Kawasaki.
The latter took it and put it on the counter, then began to wipe the cups and bottles without saying a word.
At this time.
"good evening."
Yukinoshita Haruno nodded to the waiter at the door, walked into the bar, glanced around, saw Ye Xing sitting at the bar, couldn't help but smile, and walked over quickly.
She first placed the small bag in her hand on the bar counter, then held her cheek with one hand, looked at Ye Xing's profile and the glass of soda water in front of him, and said with a smile.
"With such a beautiful scenery and such a nice place, isn't it a pity to just drink the water?"
"I'm underage."
Hearing Ye Xing's words, Yang Nai laughed and shook his head.
"I can't believe you're such a rule-abiding person."
Then, she tapped lightly on the bar counter with her slender white index finger and smiled at Saki Kawasaki who was standing inside.
"One whiskey and one brandy, both on the rocks, please."
Hearing Yang No's request, Kawasaki Saki frowned slightly.
She and Ye Xing were classmates, so of course she knew that the other party was not yet of the legal drinking age.
At this time, you should ask to show your identity document.
But just as the words were about to come out of her mouth, Saki Kawasaki changed her mind. Without saying a word, she poured two glasses of wine and gently placed them in front of Yang No.
"Thank you."
Saki Kawasaki nodded, but did not directly quote the price for two glasses of wine like she did to Ye Xing before.
Ye Xing understood immediately.
What do you mean?
look down on people?
You think I can't afford it, so you charge me for one drink at a time, right?
Just wait for me.
There is no way I will let go of this one hundred and sixty dollars today!
Yukinoshita Haruno pushed the glass of whiskey in front of Yexing, raised the glass in her hand, held the lip of the glass forward, and smiled.
"cheers."
"it is good."
What Ling Yangnai didn't expect was that Ye Xing, who came to the bar but only ordered a glass of soda water, picked up the glass without hesitation, clinked it with her glass in the air, and then drank the whiskey in the glass.
"Ah this..."
Yang Nai was stunned.
The cheers she said were just a polite remark.
Isn't it enough to just take a sip after clinking glasses?
Did you really drink it all in one breath?
Yang Nai gritted his teeth and thought to himself that he had a request for the other party today after all.
Whether it was out of etiquette in social situations, for the sake of the upcoming negotiations, or the inexplicable competitive spirit in her heart that she didn't want to lose to the high school student in drinking, she had only one choice.
Yang Noi drank the tequila in the glass in one breath, put down the glass with a slight frown, and said to Saki Kawasaki at the bar.
"Same wine, always."
"it is good."
