The aqua blue door curtain is still hanging on the door frame, hanging down from top to bottom, covering the scene behind the door. There is no pattern on the door curtain, it is a simple solid color, no different from the flowers and plants growing on both sides of the door. The difference seems to be no different from ordinary Japanese ramen shops.
The counter in the store is still the same. The brown counter divides a distinct space. But perhaps because of the people behind the counter, the senses brought by this space are not sharp and alienating, but under the warm lighting. Under the reflection, there is a faint hint of softness.
The store manager on the other side of the counter is wearing clothes that are the same color as the door curtain - this is the employee uniform of a ramen shop. In addition to Baiyunshan, a certain Hokkaido girl is also very familiar with this clothing.
Yes, this is Yangchuan Ramen Shop.
The four people from Baiyunshan sat in the Yangchuan Ramen shop.
Back to ten minutes ago, after the school festival, the girls unanimously decided to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate Hina-chan's performance on the stage today. As expected, the person responsible for the funding was of course a certain lazy person. Of salted fish.
So in order to avoid accidentally falling into the routine this time like last time, causing him to bleed heavily, Baiyunshan resolutely eliminated those places where he knew he would be tricked as soon as he heard their names, and decisively chose Come to the store manager.
After all, they are acquaintances, and he is already familiar with the prices of things here. The store manager sees the possibility of discounts for his sake, so obviously there is no place more suitable than here.
And since this is a Yangchuan ramen shop, there is a high probability that you will bump into someone besides the store manager himself.
That is Officer Sato.
Officer Sato, whose skin was old and slightly dark, was looking at the girls at the next table with a smile. His eyes kept glancing up and down, like an uncle who had drunk too much in an izakaya. He turned to the store manager who was handling orders skillfully. He opened his mouth and asked: "Old ghost, is this the little idol under this kid's hands?"
The store manager hummed without raising his head. He didn't know whether he was a little dissatisfied with the old ghost's name or because he felt that there was no need to answer such an obvious thing.
"Why is there such a big difference between him and me? Are you sure he has the ability to take care of others? Compared with the dozen or so people I manage, they are just like crooked melons and cracked jujubes. There is no comparison at all."
Officer Sato looked like he hated iron and was eager to perform. He sighed and shook his head.
Baiyunshan has a slight black line on his forehead. Although Officer Sato is a good person, his bitchy temperament that occasionally comes out still makes people want to beat him up. This is obviously a harm to him as he is not worthy of his subordinates. These little idols! He even pretended that it was the first time he met her, even after playing his debut CD several times in the store!
Mai Mai on the side misinterpreted what Officer Sato meant. When he heard the words of the dozen or so people under his control, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked curiously: "Sir... are you also an agent?"
Officer Sato was stunned. He just looked at them with that kind of gaze on purpose just to test the girls' personalities. This was one of his interrogation techniques as a police officer, and he used it subconsciously. Girls usually look at them like this. Averting one's gaze in disgust or pretending not to see can reveal many details about one's character. However, the girl has no negative emotions at all and instead takes the initiative to ask herself. This can only mean one thing.
——The girl in front of me is purely gentle and kind, so innocent that she will not have any negative emotions due to this kind of look or gaze, and this is undoubtedly very rare!
After all, as long as we are human, we will have joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. To be so simple and kind, could she be the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary?
Officer Sato couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He then laughed loudly and said: "That's not true! Although I also manage some people, my job is the opposite of that of an agent. An agent only needs to carefully manage the people under him, but I have nothing but the people under me. That group of people, I have to take care of everyone!"
Mai Mai said doubtfully: "Then you are——"
"Sorry, I'm a police officer."
Officer Sato said the famous line calmly.
Then, he turned to a certain Hokkaido girl who was looking at the decoration of the store slightly nostalgically and said, "You probably don't remember me, little girl."
Hashimoto Nana looked stunned and said hesitantly: "It still looks familiar, but... I really can't remember it."
This is not because the girl has a bad memory. The last time they met was a few months ago, and that time Officer Sato was wearing a uniform. But this time he was not wearing the neatly pressed police uniform, but Wearing a very casual white shirt and trousers, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged office worker, the kind who would sink in a second if thrown into the sea of people.
Baiyunshan quickly came over and reminded him softly.
Nana Hashimoto suddenly remembered, and was about to express her gratitude politely, when she saw Officer Sato gently waved his hand, stood up and said, "Forget it, I don't need to say thank you. I'm not here to listen today." These."
After saying that, he turned to the store manager behind the counter and said: "I'm here to see you, old ghost. I may not be able to come in a few days. You don't need to help me prepare set meals and side dishes. Save the money for yourself." Let’s eat together.”
The store manager put on the glasses on the side, raised his head and looked at him doubtfully, frowned slightly and said, "What happened?"
"It's okay. I just want to change my appetite recently. I've been vomiting after eating your food for more than ten years. I recently found a new ramen shop in Shibuya. The taste is much better than yours. I plan to Wash your stomach." Officer Sato said casually with a grin, and casually picked up his coat hanging on the chair to leave.
The store manager's face darkened and he shouted in a low voice: "Speak up! What happened?"
Officer Sato paused, but did not look back. His voice suddenly became calmer and said: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. It's just that you will be very busy in the next few days, and there are big tasks that need to be solved."
After that, he left directly.
The store manager's eyes looked slightly vacant. He looked at the back of his old friend striding away, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Baiyunshan also frowned. Based on his understanding of Officer Sato, all his actions were very abnormal. There was not much trace of the original police officer at all. It seemed that something was about to happen.
But no matter how hard he thought about it, he only had a vague idea, and he couldn't figure out the details at all.
Maybe he just really wanted a change of taste. Baiyunshan said silently in his heart.
The girls did not understand this. They just felt that the middle-aged police officer who had just left was very lively and had a personality, which was very different from the polite and rigid police officers they had seen before. However, as they chatted, the topic came back again. He had food on his plate and was out of control.
