v16 Chapter 42: leave without saying goodbye

"Then... we're leaving, and if we have time, we'll visit your Mrs. Fukuyama again..."

Standing outside the gate of Fukuyama's house, Lin Xiuyi and Mr. Mori and Mrs. Fukuyama said goodbye to each other. As for what they talked about just now, Mrs. Fukuyama at least seemed very interested. Not only did she ask a lot of questions about the Valley of Lights, And he also promised to find a chance to communicate with his husband as soon as possible.

When Lin Xiuyi and Mr. Mori left from Mrs. Fukuyama's house, they walked all the way towards the station. Along the way, Mr. Mori kept looking around at the scenery on the street, as if he wanted to see more of the street. The scenery here, so that the situation here can be remembered in my mind.

"Mr. Sen, it seems that there is still time, do we have a chance to come out, should we go shopping nearby!"

"Eh? Us? Uh... well... well! But remember, don't tell anyone about this!"

"Um... do you have any concerns? Then... all right! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"

After Lin Xiu finished speaking, he solemnly assured Mr. Sen. After seeing Lin Xiuyi's smiling reaction, Mr. Sen suddenly said to Lin Xiuyi with some regret:

"Dachuan-kun, it stands to reason...with your age...why are you doing this? Forget it..."

Seeing Lin Xiuyi looking at him with a puzzled expression, Mr. Mori, who felt that he was a little talkative today, immediately changed the topic... I saw him standing on the overpass crossing the street and looking down the street, then pointed to the distant A ramen shop said to Lin Xiuyi:

"If Okawa-kun is willing, please... can you go over there and have a bowl of ramen with me?"

"Eh? Of course you can... Senior..."

Lin Xiuyi happily agreed to Mr. Mori's request, and then the two walked down the overpass together and walked towards the ramen shop.

...

"Welcome, may I ask... do you need anything?"

"Excuse me, please bring me a bowl of miso ramen, where is Okawa-kun?"

"Me? Uh... let's have a soy sauce ramen!"

After Lin Xiuyi and Mr. Mori decided on their tastes, the two sat in front of the bar and quietly watched the little brother of the ramen shop busy inside, perhaps because they had been in the mountains for too long. Well, Mr. Mori was almost fascinated by the movement of the other party making ramen, and his eyes were full of complex emotions.

"Hello everyone, this episode of "Street Corner Food" program brings you to Napoli, a restaurant near Inokashira Park Station in Mitaka City. This is an Italian-style restaurant run by a mother and daughter. The most popular is the Secret Garlic Mushroom Pasta…”

Hearing the faint sound coming from the TV above the corner, Mr. Sen couldn't help raising his head. Then he looked in the direction of the TV with some doubts. Lin Xiu hurriedly turned his head upon seeing this.

"This one is the owner, Ms. Akutsu, and her daughter. This family restaurant, which is well-received in the surrounding area, has achieved its current reputation thanks to the efforts of the mother and daughter. It's difficult, and Ms. Akujin still can't help but cry..."

"I'm really sorry, but we chose to run the restaurant because of the family. Although our ability is limited, we still hope that we can work hard to make delicious food that the family can share happily..."

"...Sorry, the ramen for the two guests is ready. This is this gentleman's perjury ramen, and this is your soy sauce ramen!"

"Thank you!"

When the ramen was delivered to Lin Xiuyi and Mr. Mori. The two immediately took out the disposable chopsticks from the chopstick tube, and then began to taste it slowly. After eating the thick barbecued pork and drinking a noodle soup full of the aroma of tonkotsu, Lin Xiuyi's taste buds finally felt an unprecedented happiness in the past few days. At this time, he even had an idea that he never wanted to go back to the Valley of Light.

"Really delicious!"

"Mr. Sen, if you like it!"

"Ah...I haven't had such delicious ramen for a long time!"

Mr. Sen politely sighed to Lin Xiuyi, and then focused his eyes on the TV in the corner again. Lin Xiuyi felt a little strange when he saw this, but he thought of the lack of outside sources of information in the Valley of Light, so Also felt understood.

...

When the bowl of ramen was finished, the two were about to check out and leave. Mr. Sen first took out a few coins from his pocket to pay for his share of face money, while Lin Xiuyi took out his wallet and took out a bill to give to the ramen brother.

"Nani, senior?"

Noticing that Mr. Sen was looking at him, Lin Xiuyi asked curiously.

"Uh...it's nothing, Dachuan-kun, thank you for coming to eat ramen with me! Let's...let's go back as soon as possible!"

"Well... let's go, senpai, the station should be nearby!"

As Lin Xiu said, he followed Mr. Sen out of the room one after the other. After a while, the two came to a nearby station. Just when the two were about to enter the station, Mr. Sen suddenly stopped. , and then pulled Lin Xiuyi with a look of embarrassment and said:

"Wait a minute, Okawa-kun! That...I just remembered that someone asked me to bring something important back home. If possible, could you lend me 30,000 yen?"

"Three... 30,000 yen, senior, you..."

"This money will be returned to you when I go back. In short, I have important things that need to be delayed for a while, so...will you wait for me here?"

Although Lin Xiuyi felt embarrassed, when he thought of this rare opportunity to draw the distance between him and Mr. Sen, he simply no longer hesitated, so he took out his wallet and put the only three ten thousand yen left in it. The banknotes were taken out and handed to Mr. Sen. After Mr. Sen thanked Lin Xiuyi, he took the banknotes and quickly walked towards the shopping street across the road.

"Mr. Sen, we still have an hour, please hurry up as soon as possible!"

"I see~lightnovelpub.net~ Dachuan-kun! Just wait for me here, I will be back soon!"

While talking, Mr. Mori continued to run diagonally across the road. It wasn't until the figure of the other party gradually disappeared into the crowd of people on the roadside that Lin Xiuyi said something silently.

"How did he know that I have 30,000 yen? Could it be... Did he see it at the ramen shop just now?"

As soon as Lin Xiu saw there was a place to rest on the side of the road, he walked over and sat down. Then, while watching the time displayed in front of the station, he waited helplessly for Mr. Mori's return.

Ten minutes have passed, and Mr. Sen has not returned! Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy!

...

Half an hour passed, and Mr. Sen still hadn't returned. Lin Xiuyi looked at the real time in front of the station. If the other party didn't come back after half an hour, it would delay the time to meet the Valley of Lights. As soon as Lin Xiu thought of this, he couldn't help but run in the direction where Mr. Sen left. At this moment, his face couldn't help but show a nervous feeling!
