This instant noodle Mochizuki Ayano has seen before, and it is a joint product between 71 convenience store and Michelin-starred ramen shop "Ko".

The retail price is more than 4,000 yen, which is considered a relatively high-end kind.

"If you're in luck, I happened to buy freshly expired barbecued pork and soft-boiled eggs when I picked up the order last night, and it is a perfect match with this instant noodle, which can restore the flavor of 60% similarity to the store at one-fifth of the price."

"I didn't expect that in addition to being able to make that kind of vulgar snacks, your cooking skills are quite good in a sense......"

Mochizuki Ayano looked at the instant noodles in her hand, recalled that the previous barbecued pork and soft-boiled eggs were indeed "the same taste as the convenience store", and agreed with the other party's statement.

"Aha, the 'King of Heartless Convenience Store Food' is not for nothing! When I was in a welfare home, I didn't have money to eat at the store, so Kohei liked to study other people's posters and use convenience store ingredients to restore ......"

It's rare for someone to agree with his cooking skills, and Sousuke Araki touched the back of his head and laughed proudly.

"Welfare home......

Mochizuki Ayano remembered that it was written in the file that this guy seemed to be an orphan.

It is also extremely rare for the man in front of him, who grew up in that environment, to maintain his current personality of being arrogant and helpful, and finally chose to quit the pole and go to college on a work-study basis.

I also recalled that this man stupidly rushed to the yacht single-handedly and saved Makomi-chan......

Her eyes softened.

In the past, I seemed to be too impatient to solve the case, which led to being too objective to examine the related people of the case.

But they ignore that behind every file and data, there are ordinary people with flesh and blood and their own stories, joys and sorrows.

"Wait......"

Suddenly, Mochizuki Ayano's eyes wandered to the noodle package in her hand.

"Why...... Nine months have passed since the tasting period of this box of instant noodles? ”

"Don't care about these details, that's a special price before, and I forgot to eat it when I bought it. Don't worry, instant noodles are no problem after a year of expiration...... Also, I promise that the rest of the ingredients are not more than two days old, including the precious banana. ”

Hearing some perfunctory comfort from the other party, Mochizuki Ayano's face did not improve.

So, you just ate a big bowl of delicious "expired ramen" and a whole "expired banana"?

Just when Mochizuki Ayano felt some discomfort in her stomach, her eyes stayed on a "thermos cup" that rolled down next to the tatami mat.

It was thrown out of her panic before.

Because it was violently thrown on the tatami mat, the lid of the "thermos cup" was now weakly falling aside......

The inside of the cup is revealed, which is very feminine and resembles the internal structure of a tentacle jellyfish.

"This ...... What kind of weird thing is this?! ”

Looking at the pink and familiar physiological structure, Mochizuki Ayano, who had some discomfort in her stomach, felt that she had suffered permanent mental pollution again.

A general ...... I actually hit the trick......

I was actually blinded by food and appearance, forgetting the dirty nature of this guy, and thus suffering from the double pollution of my body and mind.

"Ah, it's a problem if it's dirty, and it's hard to clean up when the dust sticks. This is a limited edition of the dark web's hand-modified one-to-one ......"

Sousuke Araki said an obscure word as he quickly closed the lid of the thermos and placed it on the shelf.

"You ......"

Just when Mochizuki Ayano felt a mouthful of old blood suffocating in her chest and didn't vomit unpleasantly, the mobile phone rang.

The car for the ninth lesson was already waiting in front of the apartment.

……

Five minutes later.

"Well, all in all, thank you for today."

Standing at the door of the apartment, Mochizuki Ayano, who was carrying a bag of square things, turned her face away and said a little awkwardly.

After all, if the other party hadn't "picked up" himself and let himself sleep in front of this weird apartment door, he couldn't tell what would have happened.

Although in that small room, nothing good happened.

In the pocket in her hand, there are several unopened and out-of-print scenery figures that Sosuke Araki gave her "accidentally clipped".

"Go back quickly, next time don't run around at night, your parents will be worried...... I've been busy all night and I'm sleepy, so I'll come back next time I have time. ”

Sousuke Araki yawned, scratched his hand in his crotch, pulled it out and waved the back of his hand at her.

"Who would come to play in a place full of perverted items like yours again!"

After complaining like this, Mochizuki Ayano dodged the other party's "palm wind" and quickly got into the car.

As the car started, she leaned back in her chair wearily and closed her eyes.

As her expression relaxed, a chuckle appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if some good memories had been activated.

"Mom's ......"

Immediately, she shook her head vigorously.

Although, a certain British culinary black hole is likely to have been clever in cooking ramen back then.

However, the bowl of noodles just now is far from the tonkotsu soy sauce ramen made by my mother!

However, Sousuke Araki is a person, except for some low-level habits...... It doesn't seem to be as bad as you think......

"Section Chief, this is last night's case report, please take a look at it...... This is the 24th case of hemorrhagic death caused by the loss of both legs this month. ”

The agent on the side handed over the information, ruthlessly interrupting her thoughts and letting her devote herself to her busy work again.

……

Toshima-ku, Yoshinoya Ikebukuro West Exit store.

"Senior...... I'm finally, finally having the face to face you again! ”

The tall Kengo Yamada, like a child, shed tears behind him and pounced on the man who walked not far away with one hand in his pocket.

"Oh, Kengo! I don't know where the 'face' you said is......"

The little golden oil-headed man opposite Kengo Yamada put one hand on his strong chest muscles in disgust, and refused the other party's philosophical hug.

"But I haven't seen it for a while, and it seems to be stronger, worthy of being a cultivator in the mountains...... Don't get so close......"

The blonde man who refuses to cooperate with the staged scene of "the reunion of poetry and philosophy" is none other than Sosuke Araki.

Kengo Yamada, since the last time he went astray and was identified by the police as a "habitual offender of underwear theft in the girls' dormitory", "exhibitionist in a humanoid self-propelled windbreaker", was suspended from school, and was swept away by his parents, the club activities and competitions of the kendo club are naturally not eligible to participate.

Sosuke Araki handed him the stout "baton" and was forced to hand it over before he could cover anything, which made him feel quite remorseful.

Fortunately, the originally lazy junior Nanmu Dazhi didn't know what chicken blood he had played, and he actually picked up the heavy responsibility of the head of the kendo department, and it seemed that he was still doing a good job.

As a "sinner", Kengo Yamada is said to have evaporated from the world and disappeared from everyone's sight.

There are still rumors circulating in Shijing Da that he "abandoned himself and became a women's clothing boss", "absconded to become a naked walker in fear of crime", and "went to prison to pick up a truckload of soap".
