Chapter 68: Unspeakable Fear
No matter what the circumstances, life has to go on, and the hard-pressed NHK toll collectors are an example of how people who fled Adachi Ward slowly returned after a few days of peace, and although most of them were still in other areas, Adachi Ward was finally no longer an empty ghost area.
When the sky falls, there is also a high top, they are just small people, the kind that will starve to death if they don't work for a few days under the effect of the big social machine.
There are a few shops in the old shopping street that are also open for business, in fact, these days are better than the best days of security in Adachi Ward, 40,000 Tokyo metropolitan police, I don't know how many police forces are stationed in Adachi Ward, petty thieves do not dare to act recklessly, and those who take advantage of the fire were also caught on that day. What the public doesn't know is that the underworld organization in Adachi Ward has been in a state of collapse in the past few days, the group under the umbrella of the Matsuba Society has been uprooted, and other underworld organizations have also been officially attacked on the same day.
No matter how many industries you are involved in, how big your background is, you will be arrested! Why did Bone Girl target the underworld organization? Why did Adachi Ward attack the bone girl attack first? There must be something this group of people cares about.
Whether it's a boss, a brother, a casino, a loan shark, or a leather business, I want it all!
Since the Umibe Restaurant has been closed, Sora Mizuno has not been paid for several days.
I knew that even if I didn't take the banknote with the edition number, it would be good to count the coins casually, but Mizuno opened the shutter door of the store, and it was really hard for a penny to be a hero, and the monster also wanted to eat.
Kaibe Restaurant is going to open today!
"Mom, can I really do it?" Yarn Umibe looked at Eri Na with little confidence in the background, "I, the food I cook is not delicious...... And the cooking speed is slow. ”
Reina still has gauze wrapped around her head, which is the new gauze she just got when she arrived at the hospital today: "Even if the store is open in the past few days, there are not many customers coming, so you don't have to be too fast, besides, isn't there Mizuno-kun by the side to help." ”
Turning back to the store, Sora Mizuno smiled at Saya Umibe.
"Then, then I'll give it a try......" Misa Umibe timidly held the knife.
She was dressed in the costume of a general, and Sora Mizuno stood next to her as a helper.
Kaibe Restaurant has opened again, but the difference is that because Erina needs to recuperate, she will only go back to bed after watching for a while, cooking or something, and she still needs Sora Mizuno and Mayi Sada to complete it together.
Yarn Umibe used to be a waitress in a restaurant, but this is the first time to be the head chef herself! Timid, she was so frightened that she almost hid under the table with her head in her hands after hearing her mother's request, but it was Mizuno who pulled her out.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome......" Saya Umibe clenched her hands, bowed her head and muttered, if it weren't for Mizuno-kun beside her, she would have wanted to write human characters on the palm of her hand and swallow it.
As Eri said, business did fade a lot, and it wasn't until almost seven o'clock that the first customer walked in outside the store.
"Welcome to the light...... Mr. Policeman. When Hasa Umibe saw the person clearly, she was so frightened that her hair stood on end.
A pair of policemen walked in with their caps between them, and it was comforting to see them on the street on this big night, but it was not right to see them walk in in their own store.
Our shop is operated legally, and the staff are all good citizens who abide by the law.
"Don't be nervous, we're just here for dinner." The tall policeman waved his hand, slightly surprised by the young man of Yarn Umibe.
"At such a young age, cooking skills are not reliable." The short policeman next to him whispered suspicion.
Indeed, no matter who walks into a restaurant, when you see such a young general, you will be suspicious, and the reality is not a food comic, and you can meet young gourmets who can make glowing dishes on the street corner.
What's more, in the island country, a society with serious seniority, in most industries, young age and technology are not good in the eyes of ordinary people.
The tall policeman was actually suspicious when he walked in, but he came in and came in, and he embarrassed the other party when he walked out. On top of that, some of the shops in Adachi Ward have already opened, but they all close early before dark, and even the izakaya at night is still afraid of the attack of the previous day.
He also searched for a long time before he found this restaurant that dared to open at night.
"It's clean, let's eat." After a few glances, the tall policeman found the advantages of this restaurant, "Finish it early, and we have to be on duty at night." ”
After taking the menu, the tall policeman quickly ordered: "Two portions of cooked beef, two portions of fried chicken, and pickled hair, if you want to drink, you don't want it, and you have to be on duty at night, let's have two peach juice drinks." ”
It's not the first time that Yarn Umibe has memorized the dishes reported by the guests, but standing at the front desk and listening to the dishes reported by the guests is another experience, she shakes her head and barely remembers the guests' requests.
"Beef, Chicken, Beef, Chicken Nuggets......"
Then she raised her head again as she was preparing, and whispered in a panic, "No, I'm sorry, the beef is gone...... The supermarket is not open these days. ”
"That's right...... Then let's have mustard octopus. ”
"Yes...... Be. ”
Looking at Saya Umibe's nervous appearance, Sora Mizuno smiled and fished out a small octopus from the tank, the living kind.
At a large restaurant like that, large octopuses are slaughtered every day, and octopus sashimi is made from pieces of tentacle meat chopped up, but Kaibe Restaurant doesn't have that condition.
Sora Mizuno can accept sashimi from deep-sea fish, but it is like octopus sashimi, especially the live one......
"Bang bang." Looking at the little octopus jumping around on the board, Mizuno Sora felt indescribable.
After washing it with salt water for a while, and then passing through hot and cold water again, the appearance of the octopus has turned red.
At this time, although it looks red on the outside, the meat inside is actually raw.
Some of the island people who come and go in and out of the izakaya have a strange taste and like to eat mustard octopus, the half-cooked kind with a fishy smell, and wasabi is added to get rid of the fishy smell. There are also some fierce people who are even more powerful, the kind that specializes in eating the original flavor and is still alive.
Kaibe Ryo is just a small shop, and it doesn't have a rarity like wasabi, so it uses relatively cheap horseradish, and squeezes out a ball of horseradish sauce and pours it on the white octopus bones, and Mizuno Sora sends the octopus along with the fried chicken nuggets.
The two officers sat down in their seats and wiped their hands with wet towels.
"Need a cup?"
"Do you need it?" The tall policeman looked at the short man.
"It's not drinking, let's drink directly."
After that, the two picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
Although there was a smile on his face, looking at the two of them holding horseradish and putting it in their mouths with chopsticks, Mizuno Sora felt deeply unable to accept it.
After the police chewed the octopus, the power of horseradish exploded instantly, they wrinkled their noses with ugly faces, and then showed a relieved expression, eat a piece of fried chicken, and then eat a bite of octopus, and then refresh, and so on......
"It tastes okay."
"You can eat it."
The taste is unexpected, and although it is not exaggerated, it is normal at the level of izakaya. It's okay to eat it, but these unlucky police officers who were dispatched to Adachi Ward have reduced the level of food at night to a very low level.
