Chapter 16: Your food tablecloth is in arrears
At seven o'clock in the evening, all the girls in the Fuji Art Garden had already finished bathing and changed into clean clothes that had been disinfected and dried.
Miyamoto also used the electric teapot in the activity room of the Astronomy Department to boil hot water and served each of them tea in paper cups.
After such a thrilling day, it is a great blessing to relax with a leisurely cup of hot tea.
Unfortunately, although the mellow hot tea can relax the mind, it cannot help fill the stomach.
- After a few moments, the stomachs of the high school girls rumbled one by one, complaining to their masters that they were empty.
Indeed, seven hours have passed since lunchtime, and the little bento that little bit I ate at noon has long been digested.
However, the survivors could not find anything to eat in the small makeshift shelter on the rooftop of the building—the packets of biscuits and snacks that Miyamoto had found in the activity room of the Astronomy Department had already been gnawed by Hiroshi I, who had been seriously injured and in urgent need of food.
So, all the hungry high school students had no choice but to beg Comrade Doraemon on his head.
“…… Oh yes, you haven't had dinner yet! I happen to be a little hungry too, so let's have dinner together! ”
Doraemon readily agreed to the survivors' reasonable request as he pulled out a rectangular tablecloth from the dimensional pocket hanging from his abdomen.
- Dark gray edges, mixed and intertwined patterns of various colors...... Generally speaking, it doesn't seem like it should be a color combination for a tablecloth.
However, none of the survivors who were waiting for the meal to be served would mind these details, and just watched as Doraemon hummed a little tune and spread it flat on the floor. As if manipulating a sophisticated instrument, he carefully made this strangely patterned tablecloth as neat and flat as possible.
“…… Boom! This is one of the magical props I'm most proud of, the must-have [food tablecloth] when going camping~~~"
Doraemon said ostentatiously, "...... Please open your mouth and order, and you can have any meal you want! ”
“…… Oh, yes? That's a good way to do that. After hesitating for a moment, Saya Takashiro, who was arrogant by nature, was the first to walk up and shouted to the [Gourmet Tablecloth], "...... Then I want a curry omelet rice, a big glass of Coca-Cola, and that's it! ”
--Suddenly, there seemed to be some imperceptible changes in the center of the [Gourmet Tablecloth], and various color blocks and combined patterns began to shine and whirl...... The onlookers couldn't help but hold their breath, staring at the tablecloth, quietly waiting for the delicious meal to appear.
However, it is very regrettable that what they finally waited for in full view of this piece of public was not a hot omelet rice and a large bubbling glass of Coke, but a red warning dialog that popped up out of thin air, and a mechanical and monotonous electronic synthesized sound:
“…… Dear users, due to long-term arrears, your food tablecloth has accumulated the maximum overdraft limit, and now the food delivery service has been stopped. If you want to re-open, please pay our company as much as possible to Guòxx Bank, and be sure to pay all arrears and late fees in one go......"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
As a result, Doraemon was labeled as a "poor egg" and a "debtor" in the eyes of everyone in the Fuji Art Garden.
And Doraemon, who was originally very proud, had a smile on his face that collapsed all of a sudden, so he had to lean in front of the warning and look at it.
“…… No way! How so? I remember that it was still available last month......" Doraemon scratched his head in embarrassment, took out a space-time phone from his dimensional pocket and wanted to recharge the [Gourmet Tablecloth], but suddenly remembered that he was penniless, and his credit card and account had already been frozen by the bank - the huge debt he owed before was equivalent to 300 billion yen, and he still hadn't paid it back much!
After Nobita, Shizuka Minamoto, Fat Tiger and Xiaofu all said that they didn't have any money with them, Doraemon had to ask for the head of the female school doctor, Shizuka Jukawa...... Mr. Ju Chuan threw away his entire wallet very boldly, saying that in this kind of zombie apocalypse, the estimation of banknotes or anything is useless, so he simply handed it all over to Doraemon to dispose of. However, Doraemon gasped after opening his wallet and taking a cursory look.
“…… This one...... Mr. Jukawa, which country's banknotes are you carrying in your wallet? ”
“…… Huh? Of course, it's our Japanese banknotes? What's wrong? Shizuka Jukawa asked with a natural look on her face, biting her fingers.
At the same time, Nobita, Fat Tiger and Xiaofu, who took the wallet from Doraemon's hand and passed it to each other, also had surprised eyes and discussions, and after seeing the banknote patterns in the wallet, Wang Qiu's eyes were even darker, and he only felt that his liver was about to hurt.
――In the world of Doraemon before, Wang Qiu saw Nobita and the yen they used was no different from the yen in the real world. But in the world of "School Apocalypse", the pattern content of the yen banknote is in a different version:
The portrait on the 10,000 yen bill is the same as that of Yukichi Fukuzawa, a great thinker of the Meiji era, but the pattern, color, and posture of the portrait are a little wrong. The portrait on the 5,000 yen bill is not that of the educator Shinto Inazzo, but of the famous historical fiction writer Ryotaro Sima (whose main works include "Sakagami no Kumo", "Tokugawa Ieyasu", "Heaven and Earth", etc.). The portrait on the 1,000 yen bill is not Natsume Soseki, a modern Japanese writer, but the ancient female writer Kiyo Shao Nayan (a Japanese Heian period female writer, whose book "Pillow Grass" was selected as a Japanese textbook. The historical status is second only to Murasaki Shikibu, who wrote "The Tale of Genji". )……
Even the shapes and patterns of several coins are completely different from the yen coins on Nobita's side!
Hey, it's not just a matter of not being able to eat, it's a disaster that Doraemon's plan to make money to pay off debts in this world is on the verge of bankruptcy!
Of course, the first thing that needs to be solved now is how to make dinner for these survivors of the Fujimi Garden.
Unfortunately, in a moment of haste, this problem does not seem to be easy to solve.
――After being stunned to realize that his [gourmet tablecloth] had been shut down in arrears, Doraemon's first thought of countermeasure was to "dispatch on the spot" (collect on the spot) like the Imperial Japanese Army in the past, and collect food from the school garden for everyone to fill their stomachs.
However, Jing Haoyong said to Doraemon with a wry smile that this idea may not work.
“…… There is no cafeteria in our school, so students and teachers bring their own lunch boxes to the school. In addition, there is no permanent kiosk on campus, but a mobile vending truck comes at noon every day to sell bread and drinks to teachers and students who do not bring lunch boxes......"
-- It was the first class of the afternoon when the zombies exploded, and the students had already eaten the bento boxes they had brought, and the mobile vending trucks selling bread and drinks had also driven away. Except for a few clubs that may have some snacks hidden in the activity room, there is no place to stock up on food.
The vine beauty garden is located on a small hill on the outskirts of the main city, and the surrounding area is very empty. Recently, I had to run about half a kilometre away from the school to find a convenience store – a place where students often hang out after class.
But now it's late at night, it's hard to see danger in time, and there are even more zombies wandering on the roads and convenience stores along the way...... If you go to the store to find something to eat in the dark, I'm afraid it's a little too dangerous, and it can even be said to be fatal!
In short, at least on this dangerous night, the strategy of "bringing food on the spot" is not going to work.
