Seeing that the ramen in the bowl was neatly resolved, there was a amount of food that did not match the somewhat slender body, and the ramen boss asked while cleaning up the dishes, "Kodo? ”

"......" Sakura didn't answer, and the teacup that the ramen boss brought back waited for Gen Zhisheng to return.

It's not that she doesn't want to answer, it's just that it's not a good thing to be in a relationship with them, especially now that the situation is very tense. Who knows what their opponents, those who are of the same origin as them, but who have completely succumbed to the desires of the dragon's blood, will do after learning that Gen Zhisheng has been here.

The ramen boss, who didn't get a response, said to himself: "I used to know friends from the underworld when I was younger, and they were so imposing at that time, and political figures had to be respectful when they saw them...... Of course, their end is not much better. This kind of thing like the underworld should completely disappear with history, and the current world no longer needs such things. ”

The dim lights in the car hit his face, and the ramen chef's eyes under the turban were hidden in the shadows, and there was an indescribable sense of dilapidation.

"......" Sakura was still silent, although this boss seemed to have a story, but she still wanted to say that they were different from ordinary underworlds.

"A good woman should not watch a man step into a dangerous place, let alone accompany him to death, that is not romantic." The ramen boss continued to say to himself, "If you really like that kid, you shouldn't let him stay in such a dangerous place." A place full of blood and fire should not belong to young people like you. ”

"I ...... I...... I'm not ......" I didn't say a word a second ago, and Sakura, who was calm and unfazed, began to stutter, explaining a little helplessly.

She turned sideways, trying not to let Gen Zhisheng, who was still on the phone on the phone, see her appearance, her face was obviously not drinking, but her face was red as if she was drunk.

The ramen boss ignored her embarrassed appearance and continued: "Don't be in a hurry to explain, I have been running a ramen shop for decades, and I have seen a lot of things between men and women. Who's crush on whom, who's not interesting to whom, I can probably know what's going on at a glance. For some awkward guys who have a good impression of each other, but no one dares to say anything, I will also help them. ”

"Does he usually come into contact with other girls?" Then the ramen boss asked suddenly.

Does the head of the Uesugi family count? Sakura suddenly thought so, and then shook her head and didn't think about it anymore. She felt that her ninja training was still not in place, and she became panicked when she heard an old man who didn't seem very serious at a ramen stall say this.

However, the ramen chef may have misunderstood her shaking her head, and glanced at Gen Zhisheng, who was still talking on the phone, with some disdain, and said, "If that lucky boy is not pretending to be stupid and enjoying the feeling of a beautiful girl circling around him, then he is really stupid." ”

"No, less...... Director, he has a lot of troubles. Sakura felt that she should still explain something, otherwise the ramen shop owner might be getting darker and darker, and maybe he would really plan to help them on a whim.

"In that case, you should take him out of the underworld." The ramen boss poured himself a glass of sake, "That kid might be with me...... It's very similar to a fool I used to know.,The naïve underworld is something that's very powerful.,Probably something that can cover the sky with one hand.。 ”

He looked sideways at the neon-lit high-rise buildings on the side of the alley, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes: "But then something happened that caused me to ...... He hated the whole of the underworld, and then he hated it along with the Japan that allowed the underworld to be born. ”

"But...... But when I saw young boys and girls holding hands and playing with each other on the streets of Tokyo, I felt that the country should not be beyond help. He looked down at the thoughtful Sakura and said, "So don't waste your youth on such meaningless things, if there is anything that must be done, it should be done by the old people who caused all this." ”

Sakura still lowered her head, and then said softly, "...... Director he has responsibilities that must be shouldered, and he will not have the life of an ordinary person. I'm the same with that. ”

"Really? Then you can take those just moments as the fragments of a boring old man. The ramen boss, who understood what to do, stopped talking.

Hung up the phone, his face was extremely solemn, and even a little dark Yuan Zhisheng walked back: "Sakura, it's time to go." ”

Sakura, whose face had returned to normal, stood up, bowed lightly to the ramen owner, and then turned back to the car.

The car started, looking at the smaller and smaller ramen stall in the rearview mirror, Sakura lost her blow and said softly: "The owner of the noodle stall just now seems to know us and the existence of my family." ”

"The Snake Qi Eight Family is not a hidden existence, and if he really stayed in some organization in the past, then it is not strange to know us." Gen Zhisheng said, the colorful neon lights flashing outside the window illuminating his face.

"Let's go to Tokyo Bay, the rest of the house heads are waiting there." He said to Sakura Lost Blow, then glanced at the disappearing ramen stand in the rearview mirror and the new customers standing in front of him.

His heart stirred for a while, and by the time he wanted to see the new customer again, the entire ramen stall had disappeared from his view.

】

……

"Please give me the same noodles as the guest just now." The boy, who looked like a girl and looked delicate, sat at the table and ordered food very politely.

He wears a black kimono that seems to be low-key, but in fact it is expensive, just like the Chinese people who came to modern Tokyo from the Edo period. It's not long or short, the short hair that Japanese boys are used to has gives him a delicate and charming feeling, maybe he is more suitable for being a girl than a boy.

And if you look closely, it's a bit similar to the lucky silly boy just now. It's just a cold and somewhat impersonal, delicate boy who looks like a neighbor's house.

"It's really strange today, it's obviously all foreign, but there are still some strange guests one after another." The ramen chef glanced at him, focusing on the long knife with a blood-colored hilt hanging from his waist.

Spotting his gaze, the boy smiled and explained, "I'm also an actor, this is not just a prop." ”

This is a rather perfunctory excuse no matter how you look at it, the ramen boss naturally won't believe it, he lowered his head and continued to clean up the dishes, as if he didn't want to cause trouble, and said, "Sorry, there are no more materials, please go back." ”

The boy didn't leave, looked at the stall where there was really nothing, and then continued to smile and say, "Then please give me a soy sauce ramen, just a simple one." ”

“…… The side dish is just leftovers, is that okay? He sighed and asked if he couldn't close the stall again.

The boy replied with a smile, still polite: "Of course." ”

The hot but no-nonsense ramen was quickly served, and the boy politely said I started, and ate it without care, his movements were extremely gentle, and he looked like a girl no matter how he looked, but he didn't feel any discomfort, as if he was born to be like this.

"Thank you for your hospitality." The usual amount of ramen quickly bottomed out, and the boy politely put down the kuaiko and wanted to dig out his wallet.

"I'll leave this one to you, after all, it's just some leftovers." The ramen owner began to clean up the dishes quickly, a little quickly, as if he was worried that new customers would come.

The boy looked at him in surprise, he stopped taking out his wallet, sat up straight and bowed to the ramen boss: "Then thank you boss for the treat, I really had a good ramen today." ”

The ramen owner, who had almost cleaned up, looked up at the boy who was still sitting in his seat and asked, "Is there anything else wrong with the guests?" ”

The boy looked at him and suddenly asked, "Boss, do you have any plans to leave Tokyo and develop outside?" ”

These inexplicable questions made the ramen boss a little strange, but he replied, "I've always had it, but I can't leave it even if I want to." ”

"Really?" The boy nodded silently, then took off a ring he was wearing and put it on the stall and said, "If the boss in the future meets someone who looks very dangerous, show them this." ”

The ramen boss bowed his head and asked, "What is this?" Is it the grace of one night and one meal? ”

"Excuse me, but if you can, let's get out of Tokyo. It won't be long before it becomes very dangerous. After the admonition, the boy got up with a smile and said goodbye, and slowly walked away with a long knife, gradually disappearing into the shadow of the city's neon lights.

It wasn't until he was completely out of sight that the ramen boss picked up the ring and looked at it carefully. The crystal clear, amazingly cut gemstone is set in a silver ring, and even if you don't have to go to a special jewelry store to get it appraised, the ramen owner knows that this ring can buy many ramen stalls like his. And casually throwing away such a valuable thing, the other party's origin is no worse than the lucky silly boy who drove a red Ferrari just now.

"First the snakes, then the out-of-control ghosts, and the cursed twins......," the ramen owner muttered, "Tokyo has been really lively lately, and the troubles are coming one after another, and it's not worrying at all." ”

"Still, it's all about me." He pushed the cart again and disappeared into the alley with a snort. Before approaching a trash can, he subconsciously raised the ring in his hand to lose it, then hesitated for a moment and then took it back.

"Forget it, this thing looks like it's worth a bit of money......"

……

Tokyo Bay, where countless luxury cars gathered, and the port, which was still lively even at night, was silent at this time, and countless black-clothed people were secretly on guard to prevent a guy with a short eye from breaking in and disturbing the elders of each family.

Dressed in a kimono and clogs at home, he looked like a white-haired old man who had just rushed from his home to this side and quietly watched the calm sea. Several buildings on the shore were lit, but they could not illuminate the dark sea, and the waves crashed on the shore like sins hidden in the shadows, eroding the brightly lit city.

Behind him, there were many people standing in the same place, there were also old people with gray hair, men with half-bald hair, who seemed to be going through a midlife crisis, and women with bumpy bodies in close-fitting kimonos...... and,Girl holding a PSP game console with game sound effects playing。

The silent dock sounded with the sound of a fist-punching game, but no one dared to raise their heads, let alone accuse. Not long after returning to the headquarters, the crow and the yaksha who were sent out again stood behind the girl with their swords in their arms, and their cold faces looked like dedicating bodyguards, but from the glances they kept glancing at the screen of the girl's game console, they knew that they were not all dutiful in their work.

The old man led by "Alas......" looked at the red-haired girl as if there was no one, as if he regretted letting her come with him.

He turned around and asked the people behind him, "Hasn't the child arrived yet?" ”

"Patriarch......" The person behind him was just about to answer, when there was a sound of sports car engines at the entrance of the dock on one side.

It wasn't long before the red Ferrari with its headlights tore through the darkness and came to a secure stop in the open space of the dock with a very difficult drift. The car door opened, and Gen Zhisheng, who had two knives hanging from his waist, opened the car door, nodded to the members of the family who bowed to him as a greeting, and walked straight to the dock.

"Sorry, it's late." He first glanced at Eri Uesugi who had put away the game console and was quietly greeting him, nodded to her, and then said to the old man in the lead.

"Well, it's not too late." Tachibana Masamune nodded, and then went straight to the point and said, "The Wind Demon Family and the head of the Miyamoto family have already rushed to Sumeru in advance, and I am very fortunate that the location where the target appears is not too far from Sumeru, and the back-and-forth operations and supplies are completely in time." ”

The important young master arrived, and the black-clothed people who remained on the dock acted in an orderly manner, and they silently and quickly boarded the cargo ships that had already been warmed up by the dock. On board, the black-clad people who had already been in place were ready to sail the cargo ship, which had been transformed by the Rock Flow Research Institute, to the mobile platform disguised as a sea exploration base, the unsinkable Sumeru. (Just like the base flying in the sky will definitely fall, the general name with unsinkable will definitely sink)

Gen Zhisheng looked at the black-clothed man who was running, and Eri Uesugi who was escorted by the crow and the yaksha to the ship, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "If it's just a survey, is it necessary to dispatch such a big formation?" ”

This time, it can't be said that all the main forces were dispatched, but with the head of the Wind Demon Family and the head of the Miyamoto Family that the old man said before, the high-level leaders of the Eight Snake Families were basically all present.

Tachibana Masamune also looked at the busy man in black, sighed and said, "If I can, I don't want to use such a big formation." However, something is not right, and we may be dealing with more than just God......"

He wanted to continue, but someone hurried over to him and whispered something in his ear, and then his expression suddenly became unusually frightened.

Turning his head slowly, he said deeply, "I think it may be too late, the sea near Sumeru...... It's already frozen. ”
