Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?

"What is this disgusting thing?" Todo Kouchi and Namikaze Yukuru looked at a large basket of strange things that looked like a pile of straw balls at first glance and looked like donkey dung eggs at closer inspection.

Oda Shingo had already calmed down and patiently explained to them: "Horse dung and sea urchin."

Horse dung sea urchin is so named because it looks like dried horse dung...

"Oh! This is the horse dung sea urchin I heard mentioned by my classmates!" Todo Xiangcheng immediately reached out to grab it.

Namikaze Youkaku grinned: "It always feels weird."

"Be careful not to prick your hands, I'll teach you." Oda Shingo waved.

He put the horse dung sea urchin on the plate and took the special tool: "Here is a knife to separate the sea urchin. Cut it in from the toothed mouthparts to hold it firmly, then lift the handle, and then press the back Push the rod and you can push the sea urchin open."

Originally, these operations could be completed by the waiter, but Mrs. Yukino did not arrange for anyone to accompany her. After preparing all the food and drink supplies, the four of them ate by themselves.

"Ah! So this is how sea urchins are opened!"

"The inside of a sea urchin looks like this!"

Todo Kojo and Namikaze Yukaku exclaimed.

Mrs. Yukino was leaning on her arms beside her, quietly watching Oda Shingo open sea urchins, with an intriguing smile on her lips.

Oda Shingo realized that he had flaws and should not show the insight of a child who was not from a poor family.

But forget it, Mrs. Yukino's keen senses can't be stopped by herself.

She can guess as much as she likes.

"Use a fine serrated scraper to shave off the silky stuff, leaving the egg yolk-like part that can be eaten."

Oda Shingo finished one, and was immediately snatched away by Todo Kouchi.

She looked at the mango-colored remains of the sea urchin and took a big spoonful of it.

Todo Kojo, whose eyes were shining, was about to stuff a large spoonful of sea urchin flesh into his mouth when he suddenly stopped and handed it to Oda Shingo: "Oda-sensei wants to eat first."

"No, you can eat it." Oda Shingo started to operate another sea urchin.

"Then I'll start! Ah wu -" Todo Xiangcheng opened his mouth wide and put the spoon in, and then chewed it with satisfaction, "Hmm, it feels so weird, so smooth and oily."

"Don't you think it tastes weird?" Oda Shingo asked.

"It has a bit of a weird fishy taste, but it should be considered a fragrance, right? It's quite delicious. Ouch!" Todo Tango took another big spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth.

With just two spoons, a palm-sized horse dung sea urchin was eaten.

Namikaze Yukuru also took the second sea urchin, took a small taste, and then nodded to Oda Shingo: "It tastes really delicious, do you want to try it too?"

Oda Shingo shook his head: "I don't like that fishy smell."

"It's a little fishy, ​​but it's delicious." Todo Xiangcheng started to make it himself.

Mrs. Yukino watched them enjoying their meal and chuckled: "It is said that those who like the smell of sea urchin are in a hurry to get married."

"Ah?" Toudou Xiangcheng and Namikaze Yukaku were stunned for a moment, and then their faces turned slightly red.

The two of them glanced at Oda Shingo in unison.

"Which one would you like to eat, Mrs. Yukino? I'll help." Oda Shingo pretended not to hear and continued to peel the starfish.

"I don't really like the fishy smell, so I just eat something light." Mrs. Yukino chose equal portions of sweet shrimp and arctic clams, and occasionally ate some tuna slices.

Eating in small bites was consistent with her still wearing a kimono.

Toudou Xiangcheng and Namikaze Yuzuru worked up their appetites and tasted every seafood they had never eaten on weekdays.

Especially for Todo Orange, I did not forget to remind everyone: "Eat more. Since it is a buffet, we have to get our money back."

When I caught a glimpse of Mrs. Yukino eating tuna slices, she kindly told her, "Tuna is not valuable. Eat it with me. I promise you won't lose anything."

Mrs. Yukino nodded and said cheerfully: "Okay."

Todo Xiangcheng broke off a large king crab leg to her: "This thing is not produced in the Sea of ​​Japan, so it is probably very expensive."

"..." Oda Shingo secretly covered his face.

Although Alaskan king crab is expensive, Mrs. Yukino ate bluefin tuna...

Oda Shingo did not eat fresh food, but patiently cooked garlic oysters on the small stove.

While poking the oyster shells with his fork to make the garlic oil sizzle, he said to Mrs. Yukino: "Let's eat something cheap later. No matter how expensive it is for us, it will be a waste..."

"Oda-kun is indeed familiar with Chinese culture and can understand such complicated Chinese words." Mrs. Yukino's attention was not on the price at all.

Oda Shingo smiled bitterly.

The favor of this meal is higher than the copyright fee for the single book of "Parasite Beast".

Soon, Toudo Xiangcheng and Namikaze Yukaku aimed at a strange thing on the table.

Todo Xiangcheng saw that this thing seemed to be moving, and poked it with a silver fork: "It's a big lump, and the texture looks like it can stretch... Wow! It can really retract, it looks like an elephant's trunk!"

"Don't move, how are we going to eat it?" Namikaze Yukaku, who had always been steady and cool, had turned into a calm foodie.

"Don't ask Mr. Oda, I'll take a photo and search on my phone." Fujido Xiangcheng opened the object recognition function of Yahoo Japan, quickly covered his lips and whispered: "It's actually an ivory clam? It is said that eating this can help..."

Toudo Xiangcheng blushed and glanced at Oda Shingo.

"What are you trying to make up for?" Namikaze Youkaku also came over to look at his phone.

Then the two women looked at Oda Shingo together and almost said in unison:

"This looks good, let's try it..."

Oda Shingo rolled his eyes.

Mrs. Yukino finally couldn't hold back her smile and turned around, her shoulders shaking.

"You won't be able to do this." Oda Shingo was angry.

Mrs. Yukino turned her head away from Oda Shingo and said with a trembling smile in a voice that only two people could hear: "You can't make up for the little money you have by eating more."

Oda Shingo wants to flip the plate!

Take a lunch break after the meal.

Oda Shingo was in the room and began to learn music knowledge again, and tried to combine the music of "Next to You".

The song titled "Next to You" is planned to be used in the upcoming comic plot.

After studying for almost an hour, a gust of wind blew into the room from the window.

Oda Shingo just remembered that he was on vacation now.

He estimated that the three women were sleeping in beauty sleep, so he quietly left the room and went to the first floor.

This is the restaurant we visited at noon, and this is the hot spring? Ah, this way is the atrium garden.

Oda Shingo arrived in the yard.

"The environment is really great." He walked around a pool and walked casually in the green garden.

It's been a little over half a year since the Soul Transmutation started.

I have long been accustomed to life in the new world, and I don't even feel like an outsider anymore.

There are more and more friends around me, and the relationship between them is getting deeper and deeper.

However, there are two girls who want to have a further relationship with him, and it's not that Oda Shingo doesn't understand.

But he is a smart man.

"If you take advantage, you have to pay it back." Oda Shingo said to himself, reminding himself.

Just like he is now enjoying Mrs. Yukino's generous treatment, if he doesn't want to owe too much, he can only give in on the terms of the agreement.

This is just the vigilance of a business person to protect themselves.

More importantly, he consciously cannot treat the girls around him casually.

Namikaze Yukaku and Toudo Kaori are both simple girls who have found a way to get into trouble, silly girls who are willing to accompany them to draw comics without being paid.

And if you eat it when the girl brings it to your door, you should abide by the principles that a diner should have: take responsibility for others.

Mrs. Yukino can also take the initiative to provide help when she still owes rent.

They can always be by his side when he is not famous and when he is poor and in embarrassment.

There are so many excellent girls, which one is the most suitable partner for you? He really can't tell the difference yet.

A cherry blossom tree rustled, and the bamboo tube that frightened the deer next to the pool made a clicking sound from time to time.

He sat casually on a large bluestone under the shade of a tree.

In the slightly tipsy summer wind, he propped his body back with his hands, raised his head, closed his eyes, and began to hum softly "Next to you".

The opening of this piece is soothing, infinitely gentle, and relaxing.

At this time, Namikaze Yukaku also approached gently, but did not disturb him and stood far away by the cherry blossom tree.

Putting a hand on the tree trunk, Namikaze Youkaku looked at him quietly.

By your side.
