"There is no need to say more words of thanks. Let's be practical and make the lunch richer."
"No problem." Xincheng smiled and patted Chiba Makoto's shoulder, and said casually. The salary of the Victory Team is still very high, and they have food, drink, clothing and accommodation at the base. They don't have a girlfriend, so there is no chance to spend money. Not much.
True to his word, Xincheng took the three of them to a low-key but luxurious private restaurant nearby. Grilled matsutake and wagyu, plus matsutake rice, as well as some other dishes, made Mayumi swoon. After this, Xincheng's most of this month's income will be spent on it.
Mayumi pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Brother, you have never taken me to eat such good food."
"Who says no?" Xincheng immediately defended: "Every time you have a birthday, we always go to the best place, nothing better than..."
Halfway through the conversation in the new city, I suddenly remembered that the reason why Takumo was anxious to fly back was because if he continued to take the temporarily docked ship, it would not only ruin the few days of vacation that Mayu had spent so hard to get together, but also Missed Mayumi's birthday, and in the past few years, he has been abroad due to various competitions and was unable to spend her birthday with Mayumi, so Takumo didn't want to miss it, so he chose...
Mayumi's expression also dimmed. Her brother must have been feeling very depressed during this period of time, so he carefully changed his tricks to make her happy:
He clumsily learned how to make soup, delivered concert tickets that were sold out as soon as they went on sale, and even asked how many people he used to invite Chris Maya to have lunch with her.
While Mayumi was moved, she also wanted her brother to stop worrying about her, so she pretended to be dissatisfied and acted coquettishly just now, just to show that she had come out and not let her brother worry anymore. After all, her brother often had to go to the front line and fight monsters. It is absolutely impossible to fight without a care in the world.
Maya glanced at the two brothers and sisters across from her without leaving a trace, and immediately changed the subject and said: "Your victory team should give you a very high salary. After all, you are dealing with monsters. I really admire you for having the courage to face such a ferocious monster." .”
"It's not high at all," Xincheng answered immediately, "It's been a long time since I've had matsutake rice, and this time it satisfies my cravings."
Chiba Makoto explained on the side: "Because the victory team itself was not set up to fight monsters, but to contact and communicate with extraterrestrial life forms. Now it is dedicated to dealing with monsters. It can only be said to be to rush ducks to the shelves and force them up. .”
"That's right," Xincheng nodded and said distressedly: "Although everyone works hard and is equipped with the most advanced weapons in the world, we are still unable to deal with the monsters."
"But fortunately we have Ultraman Tiga," Mayumi said from the side: "Every time we perform medical rescue, the one that everyone discusses the most is Ultraman Tiga."
"Yes, because Ultraman Tiga did not let the disaster area expand, our victory team became a foil, alas!" Xincheng felt aggrieved when he thought of the 'TPC is useless' theory from the newspapers and media, many times I would like to say to those writers who scolded the Victory Team for being useless, 'You can do it, you can do it'.
Not to mention fighting monsters, even standing in front of monsters, no, standing in front of tigers and lions without peeing your pants, you can be called a warrior.
"As for the media, just take a look. If you're really angry, there's no need to..." Maya also shared various gossipy reports related to her. The most outrageous one was that her parents were high-ranking officials and they relied on their connections to gain such success. With a lot of resources and exposure, it became popular so quickly, and it was analyzed a lot in a serious way.
The key point is that this kind of report was written by someone who only has Internet access at home. There are actually many people who believe it, which makes Maya laugh. Anyone with an IQ greater than 20, who has access to the Internet at home, and knows how to search, They can all find that Maya suffered a car accident and her parents died more than ten years ago.
After hearing what happened to Maya, Shinjo and Mayumi looked at each other. This was the first time they had heard of such outrageous news reports. Are they really just trying to gain attention without any limits? Then they all turned to look at Qianye Cheng, who was confused and said: "Look at what I do, I never write unfounded reports, everything is based on pictures and truth."
Xincheng was about to say something, but a sound of "Didi!" came from his waist! drop! ' sound, Shinjo took out the PDI and opened it. Horii's big face appeared on the screen. The smile on Shinjo's face suddenly bloomed like a flower. He immediately used the rear camera to take pictures of the high-end dishes on the table, and inadvertently took pictures of Chris... Maya also circled the shooting range and said: "Horii, I am eating, after all, the concert will start in a while."
But what surprised Xincheng was that Horii did not rush to him, but said seriously: "Member Xincheng, your vacation has to end first."
"Horii, your joke is not funny at all. Don't worry, I will bring you to watch the show next time..." Before Shinjo could finish his words, Horii turned the PDI to bring the surroundings into the picture. Only then did Shinjo realize that Horii was actually in the scene. Dram car.
Horii then continued: "One minute ago, the Sky Eye system I developed discovered an unknown magnetic field more than a hundred meters away from you, with a strength of 532 Oersted and a duration of 0.5 seconds. .”
Xincheng's expression also became serious, and he said: "Really? Could it be a mistake? After all, the duration is too short."
"That's why I came to investigate. Okay, I'll be there soon," Horii paused for two seconds before saying, "Save some roasted matsutake for me, don't eat them all, that's it." Horii said and hung up the communication. , concentrate on driving, so that the speed can be increased a little more, and we can rush over as soon as possible.
"Brother, are you going to work?"
"Is it dangerous? Do you want to suspend the concert?"
"Uh..." Faced with Mayumi and Maya's double questions, Shinjo was still thinking, is Horii an excuse to come for dinner or for a concert?
"Why don't we wait until Horii comes?" Chiba Makoto suggested. Although the victory team will be dispatched when monsters appear, it does not mean that monsters will appear when the victory team is dispatched. Investigating abnormal phenomena is also one of the tasks of the victory team, and Anomalies don’t have to be monsters, either.
Xincheng nodded. The Victory Team cannot draw conclusions without evidence. Otherwise, if nothing happens, they will receive numerous complaints and letters from lawyers asking for compensation. For example, if Maya's concert is canceled by the Victory Team, In the end, nothing happened, which would be quite troublesome.
Not long after waiting, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Horii, wearing a team uniform, walked in. He first greeted Maya, then said hello to Chiba Makoto, then Mayumi, and finally sat down next to Shinjo without any courtesy. Just pick up your chopsticks and enjoy the pretty inexpensive food.
