Chapter 83: It's Time to Get Down to Business

According to Catherine's wishes, the two of them went to Sensoji Temple in the morning, not only visited the traditional Japanese temple, but also pretended to pay homage in front of the money box.

That's right, it's pretending. Others may still be more or less sincere because of their fear of ghosts and gods, but for Lin Zhicheng, who has already seen Vivian with his own eyes, these little hairy gods offered in Sensoji Temple really don't have the qualifications to make him awe.

You must know that there are as many as eight million gods in the island country, except for the few famous ones in Amaterasu and Yuedu, the others are similar to the existence of little monsters, and what about Vivian, the big guy behind Lin Zhicheng? That is a super boss who has the right to manage the entire world. Just as the thugs on the street did not dare to be presumptuous to the guests of the Yamaguchi-gumi, even if there were a few hairy gods in Sensoji Temple, they might not dare to make any small moves against Lin Zhicheng.

Whether it is to worship in front of the gods or to draw lots for inspection, it is just to echo Catherine. In fact, Lin Zhicheng's attention is more focused on these Japanese-style buildings, and of course, the snacks in the specialty shops on both sides of the Shinto are also a major concern.

Seeing that it was noon, it was time to eat.

According to Lin Zhicheng's arrangement, he originally planned to eat high-end sushi. However, because the same food can be prepared in the inn, at most it tastes a little worse, and there is no need to go to those expensive and time-consuming sushi restaurants, so at Catherine's suggestion, the two of them found a ramen restaurant with island characteristics on the side of the road, and experienced the fast-paced life of Tokyo office workers.

Why is it so special? It's because it's a stand-up ramen shop.

The so-called standing style means that when customers enter the restaurant, they have no seats to sit in, so they can only stand in front of a high table and eat in a standing position.

The origin of this kind of shop is still a little interesting. In the beginning, because one of the owners did not have enough money to rent a larger storefront, he had to remove the tables and chairs in the store and let the customers stand on the high table in front of the kitchen.

What the owner didn't expect was that there were no tables and chairs in the store, but the turnover of the shop itself was not inferior to that of other ramen shops, and even exceeded it from Monday to Friday.

After some analysis, the owner found out the reason, and it turned out that more than 80% of the customers who came to eat at his ramen shop were office workers working in the surrounding office buildings.

For office workers, whether the environment is good or not is not the most important, convenience and speed are the first place.

In a stand-up ramen shop, customers have to finish their meals quickly because they can't stand for a long time, and the resulting efficiency is exactly what these office workers want.

In addition, because there are no seats, as compensation, the price of food in the store is also one or two percent lower than that of other stores. Most office workers are not very wealthy in hand, and this low price is also one of the attractive factors.

Lin Zhicheng and Catherine are not office workers, and for them, standing in the store and eating ramen is indeed a novel experience worth remembering.

After lunch, I took a short break on a bench in a park by the roadside. While drinking warm coffee and studying the map, after some discussion, the two decided on their destination for the afternoon.

In the morning, Sensoji Temple was Catherine's proposal, and in the afternoon, it was Lin Zhicheng's turn to speak.

Without saying a word, Lin Zhicheng directly took Catherine to the place he wanted to go most, not elsewhere, it was Akihabara, which is known as the kingdom of otaku.

There are many places in Akihabara that are worth visiting for otaku who are addicted to two-dimensional things, such as a manga tea shop where you can relax while reading manga, a boutique where you can buy a variety of goods, a maid café where you can experience maid service, and a specialty store where you can buy the latest games and game equipment.

Lin Zhicheng's preferred destination is the surrounding stores, followed by game stores.

As for the manga tea shop and the maid café, he was excluded from the selection. The reason is actually very simple, the former, the comics in the store are all in Japanese, Lin Zhicheng doesn't understand Japanese, he can't read it at all; as for the latter, well, the maids in the store may be really cute, but Lin Zhicheng's character is not so generous, if there is a girl in a maid uniform standing in front of him, shouting slogans such as 'Look at my love magic, omelet rice, become delicious', he will not feel excited, but may be embarrassed to have a cancer attack and choke himself enough.

All in all, Lin Zhicheng's attention was on sweeping the goods.

By the time he had finished walking around, he had bags of all sizes hanging on his arm. Among them, there are not only several CDs of classic games, but also several exquisite figures from different titles.

"Hehe, I've finally bought it all. ”

Coming out of the last store, carrying a paper bag containing a boutique figure, Lin Zhicheng was satisfied at the same time, and suddenly discovered one thing - it was obviously a man and a woman shopping together, but in the end he only bought a bunch of things for himself, a man, and Catherine, a female companion who should have made a big purchase, did not have a trophy belonging to her in her hand.

"That, Catherine, do you have anything you want to buy?" Feeling a little embarrassed, Lin Zhicheng hurriedly asked Catherine with a smile.

"Huh?" Hearing that Lin Zhicheng wanted to pay for himself, he felt a little sudden, and Catherine showed a puzzled expression.

"Well, thank you for spending the whole day with me. First said such a reason, and then, because of Catherine's gaze, Lin Zhicheng still had to tell the truth: "Okay, okay, I just feel that something is wrong." A man and a woman shopping together, shouldn't it be a woman's big buy, but the man is carrying his bag? Now, it's all for me, but you didn't buy anything, isn't it upside down? ”

"Poof~. I didn't expect Lin Zhicheng to have this kind of thought, thinking that he was a little cute, Catherine couldn't help laughing.

"Well, since you've said so, I'm welcome?"

"Uh-huh, let's say, what do you like?" Lin Zhicheng nodded again and again, looking at Catherine expectantly.

"It's nothing, it's just the Totoro puppet I saw in that doll shop before. Originally, I wanted to buy it, but it was too big to hold, so I didn't mention it. Catherine thought for a moment and deliberately chose this answer.

"Uh, is that the puppet that is almost a man tall?" As Catherine expected, Lin Zhicheng had a tangled expression on his face.

"That's right, that's it. The corners of Catherine's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a wicked smile: "Why, can't you?"

"Okay, let's go back and buy it. Lin Zhicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'll get the dolls, you can help me hold these bags, okay?"

"Of course. ”

About ten minutes later, there was such a scene on the streets of Akihabara - a blonde and blue-eyed beauty, carrying a few paper bags happily walking in front, a man holding an oversized chinchilla doll followed her, because the doll was too huge, covering the man's figure, and from a distance, it seemed as if the doll had come to life and followed behind the beauty.

The doll blocked most of the vision, just walking, Lin Zhicheng was tired enough, and when he stopped the taxi and was about to go back to the hotel, how to stuff the oversized doll into the back seat of the taxi, and ensure that it was not dirty, was a big problem.

In short, it took a lot of effort for Lin Zhicheng to get this huge chinchilla doll back to the hotel.

This is not the end, when it comes to leaving the island country, how to bring this chinchilla doll back to the Nalan Islands is probably a troublesome matter.

Well, that was a few days later, and there's no need to rush to the fire now. Besides, I really can't do it myself, just spend some money, after all, RB people still have a very good reputation in the service industry, not to mention the current model of Totoro dolls, even if it is several times bigger, it is probably difficult to meet those delivery experts.

After dinner, I took a bath and washed away the fatigue of the day.

Sitting on the tatami floor, feeling the warmth of the kotatsu specially prepared by the hotel lady, Lin Zhicheng peeled an orange and finally asked Catherine about the matter: "Catherine, what is tomorrow's work plan? I mean, have you made an appointment with someone in advance, when and where will we meet?"

"It's already an appointment. took out the small notebook she carried with her, opened it and checked it, and Catherine replied: "Before we came to RB, I had already made an appointment with them to meet, and tomorrow morning, I can meet with Yoshisuke Kuwata, the lead singer of the stars of the southern sky." ”

"Where?"

"It was their studio that I had booked. Catherine put down her small notebook, picked up her mobile phone, and found a text message she received today: "At noon today, when you went to the toilet, they contacted me once, um~~, the meeting place has changed, it is RB Tokyo Golf Course." ”

"Golf course?" I didn't expect to meet in that kind of place, and in addition, remembering that there should be no spare space for building a golf course in Tokyo, Lin Zhicheng unconsciously became a little worried: "What about the location?

"The address is in Kashiwahara-ku, Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture. ”

"Saitama Prefecture, are you out of Tokyo?" Lin Zhicheng's eyes widened unconsciously.

"Don't worry, it's not that far, it's about two hours by car. If you take the Shinkansen, the time will be even less. ”
