Chapter 47

To be honest, if Lan Tang hadn't been a little wary of Liuhuo, and if he hadn't had Mori Ogai's instructions on his phone, he wouldn't have stayed in a store without heating on - and he was obviously ignored: he could even feel that Liuhuo didn't do it on purpose for him, but simply didn't take him seriously...

As a European superpower spy, Lan Tang's ability to read the air was top-notch: but he found it difficult to understand Liuhuo's state, and couldn't even get any useful information from her appearance - except for abnormality and danger, there was no clue.

Even... for some reasons that only he knew, he began to doubt the information he collected about Huang Ba Tu, and doubted himself at the same time.

What's going on, Huang Ba Tu is cheating like this? "Colored Painting Collection" has been retired? ? ?

If Huang Ba Tu is so strong, were you playing me eight years ago?

In short, Lan Tang, who seemed to have misunderstood something, is now in a dilemma - he can't beat him, and he can't run away... Tsk, why hasn't that kid come to take over?

And… Lan Tang’s own house had been blown off its roof. He had been looking for a place to hide in the building for the past two days. He was originally invited by that kid to attend a party, but now…

Liuhuo didn’t realize Lan Tang’s distress at all—she happily took a bag of cash and ran into a roadside Okonomiyaki shop without hesitation: She had never eaten this before, so it might be nice to try it.

Lan Tang was the kind of person who didn’t treat himself badly—meaning he had no interest in Okonomiyaki: Hey, no matter how delicious the shredded cabbage pancake was, it was just that—but there was one important point.

This was an Okonomiyaki restaurant that made it fresh on the table, which meant that for Lan Tang, who was afraid of the cold, this was actually a good choice for heating.

He didn’t plan to eat it anyway.

The puppet Thrane can actually eat, but this function does not affect his status, so Thrane does not care what Liuhuo eats - she has eaten all the things in the demon world, and now it is at least human food...

Liuhuo is still a little curious about this form of eating process. After all, the last time she wanted to eat by herself was when Jiaoqiu invited her to have hot pot - but after the Okonomiyaki was cut and put on her plate, she was a little embarrassed: This thing... doesn't taste as good as it looks.

Lan Tang, who was mistaken for a companion by the waiter and sat opposite Liuhuo: No, I won't help you eat the leftovers.

But you can help her order a (normal-tasting) soda.

Liuhuo, who had been taught by Lan not to waste food, could only force himself to eat Okonomiyaki, but the other fried noodles were quite good...

When he took out the cash from the bag to pay the bill, the waiter didn't dare to look at it too much - for fear that this (abnormal-looking) superpower would think that he had some improper thoughts about the money in the bag - Liuhuo asked Seren to carry the bag and began to look for other things that looked edible on the street...

Lan Tang saw that this foraging torture would not end for a while, and couldn't help asking Liuhuo: How about I recommend a store to you?

Although Liuhuo was full of doubts about Lan Tang's ability to give directions, the ability of humans to forage should be relatively reliable - mainly because the vegetable pancake just now was really not delicious, she began to doubt her ability to choose a store.

Lan Tang took Liuhuo to a French restaurant. Well, after all, he was a Frenchman, it was really hard to imagine that he would recommend a Japanese restaurant...

and it was a trial operation store - Liuhuo didn't know the difference between a trial operation and a formal operation, she just wanted it to taste good.

However, the head waiter seemed to know Lan Tang, so even though Lan Tang hadn't made an appointment in advance, she was not turned away. Well, Liuhuo didn't feel that way, but Thrane still guessed the head waiter's thoughts: probably because she felt that the people from the port mafia had just come to eat two days ago, so there was no need to offend them...

Even if they were gangsters, they wouldn't bring people to eat at a rubbish store!

Liuhuo's appearance was still a bit eye-catching, but how could she be a coward who could stay in Yokohama? Since she didn't raise her weapon and say she wanted to rob, she could still sit down and continue eating...

The menu was written in French, and the notes below were in Japanese. After all, Liuhuo was in the human world for the first time, and she had no time to learn these languages. Of course, she was also wary of ordering something bad again. Liuhuo stared at Lan Tang:...

Lan Tang: My eyes were covered, so there was no deterrent effect at all...

Well, in the end, Lan Tang helped to order the dishes.

Is it delicious... Well, Liuhuo ate every dish anyway, but she seems to have developed a picky eating habit, especially for sour dishes, which she eats with a little reluctance...

But the shrimp is not bad, and she can eat it even if it is a little sour.

Lan Tang ate a few bites absent-mindedly, and still complained in his heart that Liuhuo was a child, so picky about vegetables - and if he remembered correctly, the chef of this restaurant seemed to be called a "vegetable magician"? Or a magician?

But no matter how you compare, it must be better than that Okonomiyaki - Liuhuo was satisfied with this, and looked at the guests around with her eyes behind her: She wants to eat something else!

Liuhuo without Lan Dad is like this - Lan Tang hated himself for being so good at reading the air for the first time: He actually understood what Liuhuo meant!

The foreman was a little worried that the two of them would not be able to finish the meal, but after his eyes passed by Liuhuo, he began to think: Well, people with special abilities may also have a unique digestive system...

After four days of hard work, Soma Yukihira, who successfully became the main force in preparing dishes in the kitchen: Are there really two guests at table 6 instead of twenty guests? !

They had arrived late in the first place, and with Liuhuo eating so much, they were the last table of customers...

Lan Tang was already holding a book at the table: Anyway, Liuhuo's eating manners were pretty good, it wouldn't affect him... It was just really cold.

When Liuhuo was taking the third round of orders, he realized that - ah, humans really need to rest every day when they go to forage for food - so with the worry that they might not have a meal tomorrow, Liuhuo mercifully decided to stop after this round of orders...

"... In front of Shinomiya..." A graduate from Totsuki, who was also invited by Chef Shinomiya Kojiro to eat a private meal, saw Liuhuo eating mouthful after mouthful at table 6, and thought she had remembered the time wrong - ah this...?

Shinomiya Kojiro, who was doubting his life, couldn't turn away the guests, so he was a little embarrassed when he introduced himself. He was planning to book the restaurant and invite all his friends from Totsuki to dinner... He

even invited his mother... He

didn't pay any attention to the surrounding Liuhuo:... It's really more like what Fontaine eats...

No one heard the sigh of the Seren puppet, but he opened his mouth to let the awkward atmosphere flow again - well, it's a bit awkward to be asked if puppets can eat.

Mrs. Shinomiya sat at the table next to Liuhuo, so she couldn't help asking Liuhuo which dish he thought was the most delicious - when this question was asked, even Shinomiya Kojiro, the chef, couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen: Are you kidding? This is the only magical guest who has eaten all the fish and meat dishes today!

Liuhuo didn't misunderstand the question and gave an honest answer: "Soup."

The vegetable soup is delicious.

Lan Tang's eyes moved away from the book and fell on it again.

After finishing her meal, Mrs. Shinomiya planned to take a taxi to leave, but everyone present was worried about the public security in Yokohama - haha, Mrs. Shinomiya is not a superman, and Yokohama at this time of year is not so gentle...

Liuhuo also finished his meal and was comparing the flavors of several soft drinks. After hearing their argument, he raised his hand and threw a light needle in the direction of Mrs. Shinomiya.

"Mom?!" Shinomiya Kojiro was so nervous, but Mrs. Shinomiya touched the arm that was stabbed: "I'm fine... What is this?"

Thrane would not leave misunderstandings to deliberately annoy people. As a puppet who temporarily used light needles as weapons, he had a lot of say in the performance of this thing: "It's just a talisman, but it can only resist one fatal injury."

Lan Tang typed something on his mobile phone, and then said sullenly: "... It's okay now."

Shinomiya Kojiro, who knew that Lan Tang was a member of the Port Mafia, was relieved - although Yokohama was not peaceful during this period, since someone related said so...

The culprit of the unrest, Lan Tang: ... Huang Ba Tu... Is it this ability?

Well - in short, these subtle little thoughts were mixed into a paste when the Thrane puppet carried the bag to check out - Damn, this works?

The head waiter Miss Wei was also a little overwhelmed: What kind of weird experience is this of counting money until your hands cramp?

However, this does not affect the dish development competition after the discussion of the Totsuki team - ah, probably Shinomiya Kojiro will be the judge, and the employees of this restaurant will each make a dish, and after passing the judges' certification, it can be added to the menu of this restaurant...

"Eh... Such an interesting thing, I also want to participate..."

"Dazai, you guy!"

Dazai Osamu, wearing a black coat that didn't fit him well, walked into the store - but no one dared to say to him that the business hours were over - followed by the orange-haired Nakahara Chuuya: "Randou-san... that's too much, it's okay to ignore my invitation, but you even come out to eat with a girl..."

Liuhuo's eyes passed over Dazai Osamu and looked at the tiny Nakahara Chuuya - the other party just glanced at the strange-looking Liuhuo for a few times, and then only stared at his target... that is, Randou.

Lan Tang guessed that they probably did suspect him - but he didn't go to the appointment, so he couldn't find a chance to attack: well, after all, this place is full of innocent civilians, even someone like Dazai would not choose to fight with him here.

... It just so happened that it was not convenient for him to interrogate them in public.

"Let's go, Dazai-kun." Lan Tang left first, "We can't let the place you search go to waste."

Liuhuo was not interested in the dispute between Dazai and Lan Tang, but Nakahara Chuuya also left - she began to wonder whether she should go with him to take a look.

Seren adapted well to this situation and asked Liuhuo to stay where he was...

he would go and take a look.
