Chapter 71: Impulsive Togo
"Thank you for your hospitality, boss, can you settle the bill?"
"Have you already eaten it, T-san! It's 1,200 yen!"
……
Seeing that his goal was about to leave this small ramen shop, Urashima couldn't help but speed up the pace of his own noodles, and divided the rest of the ramen into his mouth along with the soup.
"Ah, thanks for the hospitality! Excuse me, I'm going to settle the bill too!"
"Okay, guest, please wait a moment, I'll be right over!"
Urashima saw Togo leave the ramen shop like this, so he hurriedly took out a 1,000-yen bill from his wallet and put it on the table, and then hurried towards the outside of the store.
"I'm sorry, boss, I still have something to do, just put the money on the table and don't need to look for it!"
"Huh...... Guest, huh?"
Before the ramen shop owner could respond, Urashima had already picked up his things and rushed out. The boss hurriedly looked up at the seat on Urashima and found a 1,000 yen bill pressed under the bowl.
"Young people are so busy these days!"
……
After coming out of the ramen shop, Urashima saw Kenji Togo walking in front of him from a distance, so he hurriedly slowed down and followed behind Togo from a distance. Along the way, the two shuttled through the bustling streets of Shimokitazawa, and Togo's fingers played a rhythm from time to time, but they couldn't hear what Dongxiang was singing in his mouth from a distance.
At this time, it is already very cold outside. Although Urashima had been wandering around with Togo, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Togo to walk into the coffee shop, and Urashima hurriedly followed him when he saw this.
"I'm sorry, but is the owner of this coffee shop, Mr. Osawa, here now?"
"Hey, Osawa-san, someone's looking for you!"
"Got it! Got it! Give the guest a cup of coffee and I'll be out right away!"
Just as another man's voice came from inside, Urashima happened to walk into the café at this time. Because of the time, Urashima only heard the last few words. In order not to let Togo notice him, Urashima hurriedly found a table to make a li.
"Welcome, what do you need?"
"A cup of black tea, thank you!"
"Do you need anything else, sir?"
"That's it, thank you!"
……
Urashima absentmindedly dismissed the waiter here, and then looked at Togo sitting near the bar covertly. He wanted to know who Togo had come here to meet.
Urashima watched as Togo sat at the bar drinking coffee for a while, and not long after, a man with dyed hair green suddenly walked out of a door behind the bar, and then greeted Togo warmly.
"It's been a long time since I've seen T Sang, how are you doing lately?"
"Well, Ah Bang doesn't plan to be a comedian anymore, how about Ozawa-san, what I told you last time, how did you think about it?"
Hearing Togo's straightforward question about the last time, Mr. Osawa's face showed a look of embarrassment.
"Alas...... I've given up on the idea of being a comedian for a long time...... I'm afraid I won't be able to help you this time!"
Mr. Osawa said as he solemnly apologized to Togo. However, Togo obviously won't give up like this, and he is still persuading Mr. Osawa with an expectant face:
"Don't be like this, Mr. Osawa, think about it again! As long as you are willing to be my partner, we will definitely break out of Shimokitazawa and step onto the stage of the TV station......"
"T-san, you don't have to persuade me, I'm in my forties this year. In the first half of his life, he was ignorant, and he always believed that he could one day become a popular comedy artist. I spent year after year chasing this unrealistic idea for the sake of this ideal. Every New Year's Day, I swear to myself that I would succeed this year because of luck, but it was still a waste in the end. ”
"Osawa-san, I've seen your performance, please give it a try!"
"Please don't say that again, T-san, if you're here for coffee, I'm always welcome here, but please don't talk to me about the funny artist anymore, so be it, I'll be out of company if I have something to do later!"
"Osawa-san! Osawa-san ......"
"Please don't make a lot of noise here, guest, you're going to embarrass other guests by doing this......"
Seeing that the emotional Dongxiang was about to climb over the bar and chase in, a waiter on the side hurriedly dissuaded him.
It was only at this point that Togo turned his head and looked at the guests behind him who were watching this side. With a look of reluctance and resentment on his face, most of the guests were afraid of getting into trouble, and turned their attention back to the coffee in front of him.
"What are you looking at, what is there to see...... Isn't everyone here to have a cup of coffee, isn't it true that people in suits and office workers are not here to talk about business? I, a guy who doesn't wear a suit, is here to talk about work? It's the same as you guys in suits!"
In this way, the angry Togo stood in front of the bar and lectured the customers in the coffee shop, but unfortunately in a place like Tokyo, most people don't want to get into trouble. Although Togo has been talking excessively, there are basically no people who care about his opinion, except for the clerk who is expelling him.
"That's enough, that's it, get out of here now!"
Hearing Togo's shouting outside, Mr. Osawa, the owner of the coffee shop, hurriedly walked out and reprimanded Togo.
"Let's go, or I'm going to call the police, please don't come here again!"
Listening to Osawa's unceremonious expulsion, Togo gasped and glanced back at the other party, and then ran out of the coffee shop in a rage.
Urashima, who had been sitting on the sidelines and calmly watching all this, saw this scene, took out the money from his wallet again and put it on the table, and then ran out of the café behind Togo.
When Urashima chased him out, he saw Togo striding forward in the distance, and suddenly had a bold idea in his mind. He took a look at his dress, then jerked off the tie around his neck and put it in his pocket, then unbuttoned the top of his suit, and strode towards the back of Togo's departure.
"Excuse me, gentleman in front, please stay for a moment!"
