While the shopkeeper and the female clerk were cleaning the shop, Toru Amuro stood at the door, pretending to be curious and asking questions from time to time. He asked the name of the president of the real estate company and kept it in his mind silently.
Affected by the frequent troubles caused by gangsters recently, there were not many passers-by on this commercial street. There were only three or two walking on the street, which was very deserted.
After a commercial vehicle stopped on the side of the road nearby, the rear door opened. A big man wearing sunglasses got out of the car and set up a board with one end next to the car.
Chi Feichi operated the wheelchair and got off the car along the iron plate.
His wheelchair could use auxiliary wheels to get out of the car, but these people always had to do more to feel at ease, so he let them go.
After seeing the behavior of the big man in sunglasses, Toru Amuro vaguely guessed that Chi Feichi's car had arrived. He walked up and looked at Chi Feichi who was sitting in a wheelchair. His eyes became complicated and he said hello in a soft voice, "Consultant. "
The consultant was originally a little taller than him, but now the consultant suffered a back injury and was in a wheelchair. When he looked at the consultant, he lowered his gaze by half. He felt very uncomfortable when he thought about a lively person being restricted in his movements.
Chi Feichi nodded towards Toru Amuro, then turned to the bodyguards in the car and said, "Just send your luggage to the duty room downstairs in the apartment. Later I will ask the duty staff to help me send my things upstairs... "
"Consultant, I'll do it," Toru Amuro said proactively, "I'm free in the afternoon and can finish my ramen. I'll take you there. I can also help you carry your luggage upstairs."
"That's okay," Chi Feichi didn't refuse. After the bodyguards nodded and closed the car door, he operated the wheelchair to the Kokura Ramen Shop and whispered expressionlessly, "But can you stop looking at me secretly all the time?" Look away? It’s awkward.”
Toru Amuro followed, looking at Chi Feichi's still calm expression, feeling a little helpless, but his expression was relieved a lot, and he no longer peeked at Chi Feichi's face, looked at the road ahead and smiled, "Sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable seeing you in a wheelchair, but I think I'll get used to it if I see you more. Lumbar dislocation requires a long time to recover, and you probably won't be able to do without a wheelchair in a short time..."
He swore that his intention was not to gloat, but to lighten the mood.
It's all because he has been lurking in the organization for a long time. His words sounded a bit gloating and sarcastic.
"After today, you won't have much chance to see more." Chi Feichi said the truth.
Toru Amuro: "..."
Heartbroken.
The two undercover agents had to worry about this and that when they wanted to meet. They rarely met each other, and he seemed to have little chance to see the consultant in a wheelchair.
…
At the door, Toru Amuro cleared up his depressed mood and opened the door. After entering, he turned around and reminded, "Please note that there is a threshold here. Although it is not high, you still have to be careful about the bumps of the wheelchair."
Chi Feichi let the wheelchair smoothly cross the threshold and enter the door, "This wheelchair has a very good shock-absorbing effect."
"Welcome you two..." The female clerk stood at the bar and greeted with a smile. After seeing Chi Feichi clearly, she was stunned for three seconds before saying in surprise, "Mr. Chi?"
The owner, who was in the kitchen, poked his head out of the kitchen and walked around the bar that blocked his view. After seeing Chi Feichi in a wheelchair, he was a little confused, "W-what's wrong with you?"
"I accidentally fell off the horse while riding and injured my waist," Chi Feichi explained, saying hello to the two of them, "Boss Ogura, Miss Ohashi, long time no see."
"It's been a while since I last saw you," the female clerk Ohashi Ayoyo said with a depressed look on her face, "You're still so polite. I told you, just call me Ayoyo."
Toru Amuro walked to the innermost corner, turned around curiously and asked, "Are you familiar with the boss and Miss Ayoshiro?"
"Mr. Chi is also a regular customer of the store," the owner Kouya Ogura said with a smile, "Ayashi is the best at remembering handsome guys. When Mr. Chi came here for the second time, she talked about many things with Mr. Chi. We all know that Mr. Chi lives nearby and used to work at Zhenchi Pet Hospital..."
Ayo Ohashi glanced at his boss who was complaining about him again, but he was happy when he met an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a while. He didn't argue with his boss and said with a smile, "But I didn't know that you two actually knew each other. It seems like you are both They came to our store at different times.”
"He is a consultant at the pet hospital, and I was his assistant before." Toru Amuro pulled the stool beside him a little further to make it easier for Chi Feichi's wheelchair to come in. "It was also he who said the ramen here tastes good, so I Come and give it a try, but I left my job after that, so I never met a consultant.”
"So that's it," Ohashi Ayashi said with an energetic smile, "Okay, you two can just order whatever you want to eat. You are regular customers, so I won't recommend it for you!"
Kōya Ogura laughed and teased, "Ayashiro, you really know how to be lazy."
Chi Feichi tapped his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair to raise the seat of the wheelchair, making it easier for him to eat ramen on the countertop. He turned to Ohashi Ayashiro and said, "A bowl of Kitakata ramen, thank you."
Toru Amuro: "..."
He was still thinking about how the consultant should sit on a stool and eat this bowl of noodles, but it seemed that his worries were in vain.
"Kitaka..." Ayashi Ohashi rushed forward with a look of disbelief on his face, almost throwing himself into the wheelchair. He asked Chi Feichi with wide eyes, "Why isn't it the signature Enma Daioh ramen in the store? Don't you think so?" Is that the best ramen we have?”
Ike Feichi looked at Ohashi Ayyo who was overreacting and explained calmly, "The doctor suggested that I eat a lighter diet and drink more tonkotsu soup recently. Kitagata ramen made with tonkotsu soup base is very suitable."
"That's it..." Ohashi Ayayo straightened up and looked at Ogura Komaya, "But there have been a lot fewer customers in the store recently. Not long ago, a lot of ingredients were thrown away due to spoilage. The boss thinks it's a waste to waste ingredients like this. Money, so..."
“We don’t prepare too many ingredients every day these days,” Koya Ogura said with an embarrassed smile. “Enma Daioh Ramen is the most popular, so we only prepared the more fragrant seafood soup base and the ingredients of Yama Daioh Ramen. I’m so sorry.”
"Then make me a bowl of ramen with thick soup and water." Chi Feichi did not insist on the idea of what to eat, "No soy sauce, no barbecued pork, no eggs..."
"Wait, wait," Ohashi Ayoyo quickly reminded, "Eggs are very nutritious and should not affect the recovery of the fracture."
"I've been eating too many eggs recently, and I want to stop for two days," Chi Feichi continued to ask, "put less dried bamboo shoots and no other ingredients."
"Uh, yes..." Ayashi Ohashi looked at Toru Amuro, with anticipation in his eyes.
Amuro was sweating profusely, "I'll just stay the same."
"Okay!" Ayashi Ohashi said with a smile, "A bowl of Yama Daioh ramen, a bowl... of the ramen that has not yet been named!"
Not long after, the ramen was served.
Koya Ogura and Ayyo Ohashi were lying behind the bar, staring at the ramen bowl in front of Ike Feichi with serious faces.
A bowl of light-colored soup, with moderately wide and thin noodles in it, and a few pieces of dried bamboo shoots on top...
No matter how you look at it, this bowl of ramen may become their 'shame' since opening the store - a bowl of bad-tasting ramen.
Chi Feichi ignored the two people's gazes and ate the noodles silently.
"I'm going to start!" Toru Amuro said sternly with a sense of ceremony. He turned to look at Chi Feichi who was already eating. He also started to eat, and first tasted the bamboo shoots piled on the ramen. Dried, "The dried bamboo shoots here taste really good, and there are always a lot of them..."
Koya Ogura was diverted and said with a smile, "The dried bamboo shoots are specially made. This is the top secret in our store!"
Toru Amuro noticed Chi Fei's belated arrival again, and turned around and asked, "Counselor, have you always eaten ramen without making any noise? When you eat delicious ramen, making noise is a recognition of the chef!"
Ohashi Ayyo nodded repeatedly.
She wanted to ask this question.
When Mr. Chi came to eat ramen for the first time, he seemed to order Enma Daioh Ramen very familiarly, but she clearly remembered that Mr. Chi had not been here before, so she asked curiously.
'Did you come here recommended by a friend? Or did you hear from other places that the Enma Daioh ramen in our store is delicious? '
'I heard that. '
'Huh? Is our store already so famous? How can such an old shop become so popular...'
'...'
'But it's no wonder, the ramen in our store tastes great, and we have a lot of customers, many of whom are repeat customers...'
'...'
Seeing that Mr. Chi didn't talk to him, she thought that this was a guest who liked silence, so she stopped disturbing him and started chatting with the other guests.
But she also paid attention to Mr. Chi. After all, a young, handsome, and calm new customer in black clothes is always easy to attract attention.
As a result, Mr. Chi just ate the noodles in silence. Not only did he not praise or comment like other customers, he was so quiet that there was no sound at all. There was no "suck, sip, sip, sip". After eating, he paid and left, completely ignoring her. Looks of confusion and eagerness for evaluation...
It made her suspect that there was a quality problem with the bowl of noodles served to Mr. Chi!
Some time later, Mr. Chi came again, sitting in the corner as usual, waiting for the food to be served, eating the noodles in silence, without any enthusiasm for eating delicious food, which made her doubt Mr. Chi's bowl again. The face is different from everyone else’s.
That time, she couldn't help but ask Mr. Chi how he felt about the ramen.
Chi Feichi's answer was: "The soup tastes fresh and rich, but it doesn't have much of the smell of industrial spices. It should be stewed over low heat after being made into a soup. The noodles are chewy. After soaking in the thick soup, there is a slight taste." It's fresh and delicious, but there's still a little bit of wheat flavor left...'
In short...the attitude is very serious, the review is very pertinent, and he also expresses praise for the ramen in their store. A person who seems to be a man of few words can say so much, which makes their boss grin widely.
After Mr. Chi came a few more times, she was sure that the ramen in their store tasted really good, otherwise Mr. Chi would not have become a repeat customer. However, Mr. Chi never "sucked" when he ate the noodles, which made her feel The soul of eating ramen is missing.
Mr. Chi's personality seems to be like this. He always looks cold and indifferent, and he always calls her "Miss Ohashi" politely, which makes her unable to express her thoughts even if she wants to mention them.
She had to hold it in until it caused internal injuries.
Today, someone finally helped me to speak out.
"Sorry," Chi Feichi apologized without sincerity, "I'm used to eating without making any noise."
