"Library?" Putting the dough back down in his hand, Arakawa looked out the window at the tall building, which stood alone from the crowd of tall buildings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Are you talking about the academy library over there?" The academy library, as the last revelation of the shirt young man before he fainted, the impact on Alice is naturally self-evident.

In his words, the suspect who had hired them to oppose him had gathered a large number of students in the library and used these heads as bait to lure him to find him.

And with such a big gift, Alice is naturally happy to laugh, but no matter how confident Alice is, the bait is a bait after all, and under that tempting bait, there must be the hook that the hunter thinks is the sharpest and most suitable in his heart.

Even if it is to let herself accept this wave of gifts and solve the troubles associated with the gifts, Alice also feels that no matter what she says, it is necessary to understand the most basic information of the other party.

"Yes, that's it. With a quick twist of thought, Alice stood still in front of the store and nodded lightly in the direction of the Arakawa shopkeeper. "I've heard rumors that students are gathering there, and the owner of Arakawa's shop isn't far away, so I'd like to ask a little about the situation there. ”

"The situation ... That's a big problem. Arakawa's movements paused slightly, frowning slightly, but the movements of his hands moved again, and the dough in his hands was kneaded wantonly by the hands full of pure demonic power, changing shapes, and finally turned into ramen noodles and put them in the pot, and looked at Alice again.

"Why don't you be specific?"

"Be specific. Alice didn't feel any dissatisfaction with Arakawa's carelessness, after all, they were now taking up the working hours of the Arakawa shopkeeper, and after bowing her head slightly, she secretly organized her words, and opened her mouth again.

"It's probably different from usual, like something strange happening, like students getting together, or carrying something strange into the library. ”

"Students gather, move things, wait a minute, I'm going to make this pot of noodles. The owner of Arakawa clasped his hands to his chest and raised his head slightly to think for a moment, but then suddenly focused his attention on the ramen that had just been cooked.

With a set of skillful movements, a bowl of fragrant food was once again presented to its guests, and after finishing this series of tasks, Arakawa was able to take care of Alice's problems again.

"It's not that I can move things, those students are at most carrying their own backpacks, or carrying their own equipment, not to mention that there are rules for the school celebration that you can't use oversized equipment... As for the concentration of students, it is now the school anniversary, and the group drill with the entire academy as the stage, it is possible for the students to run anywhere, but if it has to be said to be a gathering, it is probably the same thing, and there are many more students there than normal. ”

"That means there won't be any big equipment... But I always felt that there was something abnormal in the library, which made me feel uncomfortable. Staring at the towering library outside the window of the noodle shop, Alice tilted her head slightly, and a strange uneasiness inexplicably arose in her heart.

In fact, based on the level of the academy students, Alice really didn't think that these guys could cause any substantial damage to herself, but just now, when she asked Arakawa, it wasn't as simple as just looking for two examples.

Because of her keen intuition after being reborn, after Alice came to the noodle restaurant, she could always vaguely feel a breath in the direction of the library outside the window that she didn't like very much, it should be said, it was very incompatible with the entire academy.

Although Alice didn't understand what this unpleasant aura was, and she didn't have any dislike for the angels, what would she have similar feelings for.

However, in the end, it feels like this thing is always very ethereal, and it may just be an illusion of her own generation, and as one of the powerhouses of the academy, Arakawa didn't feel anything wrong with being so close to the library, so she still had to worry about something.

"If this guy is still playing the idea of a normal teacher's offensive and defensive war, but only increasing the number of people... Then this one must be stable. Alice crossed her waist with her left hand, gently touched her chin with her right hand, and nodded secretly.

And with the information she needed, Alice had no reason to stay in the auspicious noodle restaurant, and while pushing open the door of the noodle restaurant with Mio and Angel, she looked at Arakawa, who was busy at the counter behind her.

"Then thank you Mr. Arakawa for your help, and at the same time wish you a prosperous business, and I will come to take care of your business next time. ”

"Lend you good words. Arakawa smiled, and after watching Alice and the three of them leave the noodle shop and gradually walk away, he re-fiddled with the dough on the noodle table, and under his skillful technique, the good ramen on the pot gradually took shape, and it was served to the tables of many diners.

After a while, the large number of orders that were still backlogged were completely emptied by him.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Placing the last bowl of ramen on the customer's table, Arakawa stood still in the lobby, cleared his throat slightly, and clapped his hands heavily after attracting the attention of everyone in the store.

"This is the end of the restaurant's catering service today, due to the owner's personal reasons, the auspicious noodle restaurant will close early today. ”

With a slight apology, everyone present bowed slightly, and Arakawa straightened up again, looking at the people in front of him with a hearty smile.

"So, if you haven't finished your meal yet, please eat as soon as possible, the restaurant will close completely in half an hour, and as the owner of the auspicious noodle restaurant, I would like to also wish all of you who are about to re-enter the school celebration mode with your desired results. ”

After saying what he had just said, Arakawa ignored the stunned expressions of the customers in the store, took off the apron on his waist, which was still as white as new even after a day of work, and returned to the front desk of the pastry, wiping the table with the rag on the table, while cleaning up all kinds of pasta ingredients on the table that had not been used up, and at the same time took out a small clock from under the counter, adjusted the time, and placed it on the table.

"Thirty minutes then, the clock begins. ”

It was not until this time that all the customers who were still in a state of stupor finally woke up from a dream and began to deal with the delicacies they had not yet eaten, and the customers who had just entered the store were also at a loss when they saw the scene of "not picking up customers" from the owner of Arakawa, and after finally understanding the situation, they could only leave the auspicious noodle restaurant helplessly.

According to their ideas, they finally saved up to the current hour of invincible time... It's just gone?

But there's nothing you can do, after all, the noodle shop is opened by Arakawa, and the final interpretation right also belongs to the owner of the auspicious shop.

The closing time of the auspicious noodle restaurant has been advanced? If this kind of question is raised on weekdays, I am afraid that those so-called school celebration masters will laugh off their teeth.

The auspicious noodle restaurant, as a truce place recognized by everyone in the academy, is self-evident, and even Arakawa, as the owner, tries to maintain constant business hours on the day of the school anniversary, and it is still very early before the "festival time", but it seems that Arakawa obviously does not plan to open the store so late.

Of course, there are similar exceptions like the one now, and this special case has only happened twice since the opening of the auspicious noodle restaurant.

One was the day when the Arakawa family's water spirit carp forgot to feed it, and the other time was the time when the college's special enrollment "Ao Jie" made a big fuss in the college, and it was also the only time that Ao Jie posed as a rich family and teased the good family in the college's school celebration.

And as Ao Jie's distant cousin, after finding this nephew who had been playing and didn't know the north, south, south, and northwest, he had a black face, didn't say anything, and didn't even use their family's water control technique, and rushed directly to it to be beaten violently.

At that time, everyone around was scared silly, the fist to the flesh, the provocative hitting sound, the heart-rending, deafening cry, not to mention the many little brothers who were clustered around Ao Jie, even the school girls who had been molested by Ao Jie were frightened by the tragic scene at that time.

And it is said that after that, Ao Jie no longer caused trouble, and truly became a good young man in Lei Feng-type society who is upright and does good deeds without leaving a name.

"Could it be that Ao Jie has an accident again this time?" the diners in the restaurant were enjoying the food in their bowls, thinking about what they had and didn't have.

Thirty minutes passed quickly, and the customers gradually left the noodle shop, and after Arakawa politely invited the remaining customers out of the noodle shop, it was finally time to close.

After placing all the chairs on the table and setting them up, Arakawa took the key to the store when he suddenly heard the sound of someone entering the store.

"Didn't I say that the auspicious noodle restaurant has just closed? Hearing the footsteps behind him, Arakawa couldn't help frowning, and turned around a little unpleasantly, but suddenly paused as he turned around.

Because he didn't notice the blue shield that the student should have or the induction magic attached to the teacher's back on the other party's body, and he didn't find the identification mark released by the security department on the person outside the school, and this is a very raw appearance...

You can't be wrong, this customer doesn't belong to the Academy.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Entering the store was a teenage girl dressed in civilian clothes and wearing a sci-fi-looking exoskeleton on her legs.

"I want a bowl of beef noodles, there's nothing I don't eat, it's normal. The girl patted the dust off her body, shook the long hair behind her, as if she hadn't noticed Arakawa's surprised appearance at all, sat directly on the chair at the front desk, looked at the various dishes above her head, and chose the type she wanted, as if talking to herself.

"I don't know why this is the only thing left in such a big place that is still open. ”

"Beef noodles... Arakawa groaned for a moment, and didn't ask the girl's identity, but quietly put the store door key back under the counter, and at the same time took out a ball of noodles that had been prepared from the refrigerator on the side, and skillfully pulled it into a ramen-like appearance, and asked the girl at the same time.

"Credit payment or teaching point payment. ”

"Credits?teach?" And as Arakawa expected, the girl seemed completely unaware of the things in the academy, and looked at Arakawa who was ramen noodles with a puzzled expression. "What's that... ”

"It's nothing, I'll just invite you to this bowl of noodles. Arakawa shook his head, but the movements of his hands did not stop, getting out of the pot, taking out of the pot, passing the water, putting it into the bowl, all in one go, and the beef noodles that the girl wanted were served in front of her almost without a long time.

"Please me? really?" Although she didn't understand the meaning of the uncle's credit payment and teaching point payment just now, when she heard that the other party wanted to invite herself to eat noodles for free, the girl had already picked up the chopsticks with both hands.

"Kid, when did you come here. After making his last pot of ramen of the day, Arakawa found a chair at the counter and sat down, looking at the little girl in front of him who was gobbling up noodles.

He could feel the purity of the other party's gestures, and this kind of purity would not be the culprit of the "uncomfortable atmosphere in the library" that Alice felt, and Arakawa also believed in his ability to see people with his own hands.

In fact, the feeling of disharmony was not only perceived by Alice, but also felt by Arakawa, but this feeling was so slight that he even thought it was a delusion on his part, and it really couldn't be used as evidence to persuade him to go and investigate.

But after Alice said to him, it was completely different, one person can be said to feel wrong, but two people say so, it is completely different, and this is also the reason why he closed the noodle shop in advance.

"Yo this morning, I'm here to find someone. The girl said vaguely, for the uncle she met for the first time, she could give her poor self free noodles, this kind of character setting, she is definitely a good person in the novel, so she just came to look for someone and didn't care about leaking her whereabouts in the past two days to the other party.

"Originally, I had been walking around here for two or three days, but I didn't find anything, I was thinking of going to other places to look for it, but this morning a round hole the size of a person suddenly appeared nearby, oh, and when I looked inside the hole, it turned out to be a small city below, and I couldn't see the city at all instead of a hole, and I came in from there, amazing!"

"Looking for someone?" Arakawa frowned when he heard the girl's description, and in a flash of thought, he turned over and walked out of the counter, and threw the store key in his hand in the direction of the girl.

"Little girl, as a reward for eating noodles for free, help me close the shop. ”

"Hey???" The girl didn't react at all, and could only grab the key thrown by Arakawa while holding half a noodle in her mouth.

"By the way, you're new to the city, and it's nothing to meet me, but according to the rules here, it's a lot of trouble to not have an ID here, if you have time, come back to me, and I'll help you go through the procedures related to admission." ”

Before going out, Arakawa looked back at the girl, but before the girl could say anything, Arakawa tied the cyan coat on his body, and then his figure flashed, and he completely disappeared in front of the girl, leaving only the girl with the key and the unfinished noodles in the store with a confused look.

“？？？”
