Chapter 32: Disappearance
"How's it going? Can it be fixed?" the next day, Lake got up early, washed up casually, and then went to the wheelhouse of the Howfast Sailboat, and asked Kirby, who was repairing the Howfast Sailboat.
"It's too reluctant to rely on the existing materials alone, and sure enough, you still have to get a professional spaceport to cultivate. Kirby, who was operating several small working robots repairing the damaged left engine, turned to Reker who walked through the door and replied, "But the problem in front of us is that there is no spaceport on Earth at all, and our relationship with the earthlings has deteriorated, so there is no way to seek help from the earthlings." ”
"Then go to the nearest spaceport on Earth and repair it, didn't you say that this ship is an advanced ship with an anti-gravity device?" said to Kirby, looking at the robot on the main screen cleaning the left engine.
"Although it was an anti-gravity device that made the ship fly, the propulsion was still powered by jets. Kirby immediately retorted to Lake's words, with a hint of complaint in his tone, "And the most critical problem is not this at all, but that the energy is about to run out again." ”
"Didn't you just shoot two shots yesterday? How could you run out of guns again!" Hearing Kirby's complaints, Lake immediately jumped up and questioned Kirby deeply.
As for Lake's selective amnesia, Kirby had long been accustomed to it, so he immediately sneered and reminded: "Did someone in the gas forget to disarm the energy limiter?" ”
"Uh. Lake only then remembered, as if he had indeed lifted the energy limiter in a fit of anger yesterday, but as the owner, how could he endure the taunts from a pet, so he instantly grabbed Kirby standing on the table, carried Kirby in front of him and said, "I'll go out." ”
As soon as the words fell, he let go of his hand irresponsibly, allowing Kirby to fall to the ground in a free fall trajectory, and then left the cab on his own.
"Wait for me!" Kirby, who didn't want to stay at home alone, quickly got up from the ground and followed Lake's footsteps......
The plan for the day lies in...... For breakfast, he got off the galleon and touched his belly, which was already wanting to sing, and Lake immediately made a decision to go to breakfast first.
Out of so-called "habit", Lake still stepped into the old place called "Shiratori".
"Signature ramen. Still out of the influence of "habit", Lake still chose the same taste of ramen as last time.
"Okay. Please wait a minute. Perhaps he didn't expect customers to come so early, but after answering for a while, Shiratori Hui came out from behind the storefront entrance and said to Lake, "It's so rude, I'll go cook noodles right away." ”
With that, he walked behind the stove and began to make the signature ramen that Lake had ordered.
Although it was normal, Lake suddenly felt that today's ramen shop seemed to have a sense of disobedience, and after thinking for a long time, he asked Shiratori Hui, who was making ramen, "Isn't that Uncle Shiratori here today?"
"Ah, he's not there for a while, so if you want to look for him, you might have to say I'm sorry, but the shop is still open as usual. Shiratori said with a smile as she brought the ramen to Ryker.
It's just that there is a hint of reluctance in her smile.
The sense of disobedience is here!Lake instantly understood what the sense of disobedience he felt before, so he asked Shiratori Hui, "Is there something wrong with him, uncle?" ”
Listening to Lake's question, Shiratori Hui was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand at Lake and said, "No, no." ”
When the words fell, he didn't care about the rudeness, so he turned back to the stove and began to wipe the bowl.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Lake didn't ask anymore, after all, he just asked out of kindness, since Bai Tori Hui didn't want to say, there was no need to continue to ask. So he took out a pair of chopsticks from a bucket of chopsticks and began to enjoy the bowl of ramen in front of him, but secretly glanced at Kirby, who was acting as a toy on the chair next to him......
"I'm full. Although he didn't quite understand why he said this after dinner, Lake, who was a local custom, did the proper etiquette before leaving the money for the checkout, and then picked up Kirby and left the Shiratori ramen shop.
"Ryker, I've found it, do you need to go over?" As soon as he came out of the ramen shop, Kirby couldn't wait to flutter his wings and fly, and walked around in front of Ryker and introduced the results of his efforts to Lake, although the earth's surveillance network is developed, but it is still an outdated type, and it is too easy to invade it.
"Then don't lead the way!" said Lake, slapping Kirby in front of him and moving on.
"Really, this way. After steady, Kirby grumbled and flew back in front of Lake and began to lead the way......
And after walking for more than half an hour, Lake finally saw Kazuki Shiratori sitting on a park bench with a haggard face.
"Uncle. Whether it was out of boredom or enthusiasm, Lake stepped forward and offered to say hello to Kazuki Shiratori.
After hearing the call from the side, Shiratori Yihui, who was originally holding his forehead with his clasped hands, subconsciously raised his head and looked at the source of the voice: "Little brother, it's you." ”
Shiratori Kazuki's voice was a little hoarse, and his expression was a little haggard, as if he were two people like the Shiratori Kazuki that Lake had seen before.
"Uncle, what's going on?" With a slight frown, Lake asked, although he already had a preliminary and simple judgment in Lake's mind, he still hoped to get confirmation from Shiratori Kazuki's mouth.
"Actually...... No, nothing. In the face of Lake's concern, Shiratori Kazuki stopped talking for a while before explaining to Lake as if he had made up his mind, "Little brother, have you seen my family Qixiang in the past few days, it was the last time you saw it in the store, my son." ”
Sure enough, there is something about Shiratori Qixiang.
After listening to Kazuki Shiratori's words, Lake's thoughts were instantly confirmed, but he still replied, "I haven't seen it." ”
"yes, I think so. Listening to Lake's answer, Shiratori Kazuki's eyes, which had been lit up with a hint of expectation, lost color again, "Actually, Qixiang is missing......
