Adventurer of the Elven World

Chapter 136 Hanging Out

Xiu knew who Dr. Oki was, so he didn't ask him hypocritically, but faithfully dealt with the food in front of him, and did a good job of the basic qualities of a cook.

It's just that he just took a few bites from his side, and two people came out from the back kitchen, one is the proprietress, and the other is an ordinary middle-aged man, so he can only be the boss.

The man walked towards this side, observed the two of them first, and then said:

"That~Guest! I just heard that you are not satisfied with these dishes?"

Dr. Oki came back to his senses, looked up at the man, with a strange expression on his face.

"Why are you? I remember..."

When the man heard Dr. Oki's words, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked:

"The guest hasn't been here for a long time, right?"

"It's been more than a year or almost two years~" Dr. Oki looked at the person in front of him, with a slightly uncertain tone.

"That's right. I only took over this restaurant this year. The previous chef was my father. There is still a gap between my craftsmanship and my father's. It is our fault that the customers feel that the taste is not right."

The man glanced at the table as he spoke, and added: "Sir, I still remember that our store must be an old customer of my father's. I didn't entertain well, so let's forget about this meal."

The woman on the side heard this and quickly pulled the man's clothes and said in a low voice: "They have given money."

"How can you lose money in business~" Xiu naturally reacted, and waved his hand casually, "All the food is fine, there is no problem, so the money must be given."

Before the man could react, Xiu asked him:
"What about your father?"

"Passed away..." The man was silent for a moment, and added: "I collapsed from exhaustion a year ago, and we stayed with the hospital for a month, and finally left~"

"I'm sorry." Although Xiu had guessed it, he was more or less infected by the other party's emotions and felt a little sad.

"It's okay, take it easy, the guest."

After this topic was over, there was nothing more to say, and the shopkeeper turned back with his wife after a slightly awkward greeting.

Only then did Xiu look at Dr. Oki and greeted him, "Did the doctor guess it a long time ago?"

"Hmm~" Dr. Oki pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "This store has been around for more than 30 years, and the taste has changed, so I feel somewhat uncomfortable."

Xiu could see it, and Dr. Oki probably guessed it right away. What he was struggling with was not the change of taste, but the change of things and people.

This kind of elderly people has a special focus.

When the two came out of the store, Xiu was full, but Dr. Oki didn't eat much, he just ate a little, which was a bit out of line with his usual appetite.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the elf center first."

When Xiu heard this, he immediately reacted and asked a casual question.

"Doctor, what's the matter?"

"I'm visiting some old friends... are you coming?"

Dr. Oki looked a little depressed, which was quite different from his usual image.

"I happened to be visiting Viking City, so the doctor doesn't care about me."

Xiu finished talking and walked towards the street, not waiting for Dr. Oki's reply.

Although he is an assistant in name, he is actually a breeder, and his relationship cannot be said to be really good. It is undoubtedly a pain in the ass to attend those old people's gatherings in the past.

After all, no one likes to have a stranger in a gathering with old friends.

Wander the streets of the old town and look at the buildings with a special style and a sense of history.

Xiu felt as if he had traveled through time, as if the bustling streets at that time appeared in front of his eyes, with people coming and going, their voices intermingling, and it was very lively.

It's just that these have gradually disappeared in the long river of history...

Walking along, Xiu didn't know how long he walked, the surrounding buildings began to sparse, and the plants gradually evolved from the artificially planted ornamental flowers and plants to normal vegetation.

Xiu knew that he was in the suburbs of Tokiwa City.

However, he did not intend to return, but continued walking.

A large grass field appeared in front of his eyes, extending to a small hill in front of him.

This kind of scene immediately reminded Xiu of the grassland in the park.

It's just that the grasslands in the park are very lush, the short ones can reach the calf, and the most exaggerated places can be half the height of a person. There are many strange elves hidden in it, and a few of them may pop out with one foot.

And the grass here is very flat, as if it has been specially trimmed.

There are no elves on it, only scattered humans.

Looking around, there are large and small blankets on the lawn. Most of these people are couples, families or friends who come to have a picnic or play together.

Only then did Xiu realize that he had been walking for a long time, and it was already evening.

Of course, only big cities can have such a scene.

There are not so many idle people in ordinary towns. To put it another way, it is the problem of population ratio. Most of the people present are young and middle-aged people, who are the middle class and the main force of the city.

After Xiu came out of the woods, he stood on the edge of the grass and looked at the people passing by.

Another well-dressed young man took the food in his hand and fed it to his girlfriend next to him. The two started to fight and laughed for a while.

Some children were running back and forth on the grass and playing, their laughter echoing like the ringing of bells.

There are also a few friends sitting around on the grass, talking to each other, with smiles on their faces.

Some parents took their children to play on the grass, and some trainers were interacting with elves...

For some reason, Xiu suddenly felt a little tired, so he found a place to sit down at random, and just looked at those people silently.

It's just that with the passage of time, he was a little dazed looking at the scene in front of him, but soon he came to his senses, and the smile on his face seemed a little helpless.

"Sure enough, I'm not suitable..." Xiu murmured to himself, then looked up, his eyes directly across the entire grass.

After a while, he stood up and walked in the direction he came from.

Just when he was about to go out, a voice stopped him.

"Hey! Little brother." A slightly mature voice stopped Xiu.

Xiu didn't pay attention at first, but the successive voices still drew his attention.

"Huh?" Xiu was a little surprised, turned his head and looked behind him, only to see a thin middle-aged man smiling at him.

The man was dressed casually in casual clothes, and there were two other people beside him, one was a woman in ordinary clothes, and this woman was very pretty, although she looked a little aging due to the weather, she must have been a beauty when she was young.

As for the little girl next to the man in a princess dress, she has delicate features, like a doll, but her figure is also thin, making her look very weak.

　Thanks to yu2003 for the reward.
