118. Pit a handful of naginata thistles
Three days after the Moon Festival, Li Xiang's shop is still popular. In the inextricable busyness, the words of Nagi Shinaki before were temporarily left behind by him.
On the night of the fifth day, after entertaining the last group of guests, Li Xiang, who was still in the store, received a call from the commander in chief of Nagi Senzaemon.
On the other end of the phone, the old man's voice was solemn:
"Emiya, there's something I need your help with, can you go to Erina's mock shop in the Rinyama area right now?"
"Got it, I'll go now, what's going on?"
Li Xiang put down the rag in his hand and the half-washed dishes, took the phone with his hands alternately, wiped the water droplets on his free hands on his pants, and walked out without changing his chef clothes.
"The board of directors suddenly attacked me and asked to remove me from my position as the commander of the Yuanyue School Park. And proposed that Erina Nagikiri's father, Thistle, be the next Commander-in-Chief of the Far Moon. The number of shares in the hands of shareholders who held the same opinion at the scene overwhelmed us, so I am afraid that the change of leadership in Yuanyue is a foregone conclusion. ”
"What, how could it be ......"
Li Xiang frowned, and subconsciously loosened his tie, shouldn't Nagi Cut Thistle rely on more than half of the ten masters to defect to win the position of Yuanyue Commander-in-Chief? How is it now through the board duoquan again?
In short, there is no need for Nagi Senzaemon to lie to himself, so it is very likely that Nagi Jiji is about to succeed to the position of commander-in-chief, so the reason why he asked himself to go to Erina Nagi is also coming out - Nagi Thistle, who is about to become the commander-in-chief, in order to realize his ambition to change the entire culinary world, needs to control the important tool of his own ambitions in advance, that is, his daughter Erina Nagi Kiri.
Thinking of this layer, Li Xiang's steps couldn't help but be bigger and faster.
"Emiya, I haven't told you anything about Erina's father in detail all this time. So you may be a little confused, but please do me a favor. I can't leave here for the time being, so you must remember that you must not let Erina's father take her away, and it is better not to let Erina and her father have contact for a long time. That guy wasn't a good father! ”
"yes, I see."
Li Xiang hung up the phone, ignoring the surprised eyes of other pedestrians on the side of the road, and began to run wildly towards the mountain area at the speed of an athlete.
"It's okay, it should be too late."
Li Xiang muttered to himself.
At this time, Erina was trembling.
Just now, an all-black "uninvited guest" broke into her mock shop, her father.
The moment she saw this man, Erina recalled that dark time. But at the same time, a subconscious that had been suppressed by her for years resurfaced.
When Erina was a child, Nagi taught Erina Xinao, and implanted her strict and distorted cooking philosophy into Erina's brain. Although Erina has gradually regained her individuality over the years, the consciousness buried deep in her memory has not been worn out with time.
At this moment, with the appearance of Nagi thistle, Erina's fragile psychological defense line is on the verge of collapse.
"Erina, your food is completely outrageous to be tasted by inferior people here who don't know how to appreciate food at all. Your dishes should shine in the right place for them. ”
"What did you say?"
Nagi thistle's remarks aroused serious displeasure among several celebrities who were dining.
However, Nagi Thistle didn't care about their words, but looked directly at Erina and said slowly:
"Come on, come with me, and I'll make you a real chef. Re-establish order in the gastronomic world. ”
Nagi thistle stretched out his hand to Erina, and the words were word-for-word, and the deep pupils were like two black holes. With Nagi thistle's "good and seductive", Erina's eyes lost their luster little by little. People are also gradually moving in the direction of the naginata.
"Sorry, you're in the way!"
"Bang!"
Nagi thistle, who was still full of force just now, and the dark boss's aura was full of aura, and was hit in the abdomen by Li Xiang with a punch, and under the huge force of the heroic spirit level, Nagi thistle's whole person flew up.
The body of the thistle cuts through the air in a graceful arc. Slammed into the wall.
"Erina, are you okay, as soon as I came over, I saw that strange idiot uncle just now was plotting against you, but fortunately I came in time. Scarlet yarn, you are really, how can you put that kind of person in? ”
Li Xiang, who was sweating profusely, rushed to Erina, patted Erina on the shoulder with a smile, and turned his head to complain about Scarlet Sazi.
However, Scarlet Sako's face was not as relieved as the hooligan had been driven away. Seeing the nagini thistle flying out, Xinhu Scarlet was about to roll her eyes:
"Emiya, that one wasn't an idiot just now, that's Erina's father......"
"What? Erina, is what Scarlet Sako said true? ”
Li Xiang's face was full of surprise, and he stared at Erina and asked her for confirmation.
Because Li Xiang was messing around this time, Erina came back to her senses from the state of distraction just now, and replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”
Li Xiang was so "shocked" that his jaw was about to fall:
"I, why didn't you say it earlier? Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, misunderstanding......"
He hurried to the wall and picked up the thistle, which had twitched on the ground after being hit hard by himself.
"Sir, sir! You okay? ”
Li Xiang held the thistle, and did not forget to pat the dust everywhere on the other party, and the embarrassment and flattery in his demeanor could be seen by a person.
However, it only takes Nagi thistle, who is speechless because of the heavy blow, to know how much strength this guy has used.
"Enough! Ahem...... No need to shoot! I'm fine! ”
Nagi cut this thistle pushed Li Xiang away, holding on to the wall with his right hand and coughing repeatedly.
"Oh, Uncle is really embarrassed. Just now I saw you so close to Miss Erina, and I thought it was some daring hooligan who was molesting girls, and I'm really sorry to hurt you by mistake. I've had a lot of strength since I was a child, and I misunderstood it just now, so I'm really sorry. Why don't I accompany you to the hospital for a check-up, if there are any sequelae left, then I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”
Li Xiang's whole person is a guilty and anxious look, and he can't see any acting at all. Except for the thistle, everyone present believed it.
"No, no, I'm fine."
Nagi cut thistle once again pushed Li Xiang's hand away, trying her best to stand up straight. However, as soon as he stood up straight, he stumbled under his feet and almost fell again.
"Oh, uncle, don't be reckless, your body is important. What do you save by going to the hospital? This time it was all my fault, and I covered all the expenses for my uncle's examination and treatment at the hospital. ”
After a few refusals, Li Xiang looked obviously anxious, and hugged the nagina chopple horizontally with a standard princess hug.
"Uh."
Seeing such a tall man as Nagi Cutting Thistle being hugged by the taller and stronger Li Xiangheng, Scarlet was speechless.
"Scarlet, Erina, I'll take my uncle to the school hospital, let the school doctor check my uncle's physical condition first, and if anything happens, I'll take my uncle to the hospital immediately."
After speaking, Li Xiang ignored the struggle of the nagi thistle in his arms, and ran out with him in his arms.
The customers and staff in the restaurant were left looking at each other with Erina and Scarlet Sako.
"What's going on?"
Inexplicably, Erina felt that the sense of self that she had just lost because of her father's sudden appearance had come back more than half of it at once.
It seems that after Li Xiang's stirring, the impression left by his father in his heart suddenly changed.
On the other side, Li Xiang sprinted all the way and sent the nagini thistle to the infirmary.
Since the school festival is being held, there are still a lot of people gathered in the school even though it is night. In order to deal with emergencies.,The school festival is open until late these days.,The school doctor has also been on duty for a long time.。
"Doctor, come and see how he is doing?"
"Huh? Oh good! ”
Hearing Li Xiang's words, the school doctor on duty who was drinking tea was startled, and when he fixed his eyes, he saw that Li Xiang was hugging a man with a princess, and his eyes suddenly flashed.
"Isn't this supposed to be, two, 'comrade'...... No, no, as a medical worker, you can't discriminate against these people with colored glasses. ”
The school doctor shook his head, banishing the superfluous thoughts from his mind. Attentively examined the part of the thistle that had been hit in the abdomen.
"There are no obvious external injuries, and the internal organs don't seem to be injured, so there should be no major problems, if you are not at ease, it is recommended to take an X-ray for examination."
The professional skills of the school doctor hired by Yuanyue School Park with high salary are still very solid. In less than a few minutes, the judgment was given.
"Alright, doctor, get out. I'll just take a little rest. ”
Lying on the bed, the nagini thistle, which had been at the mercy of others just now, suddenly made a sound.
"Well, okay, sir, you have a good rest, your injury is not serious, you should pay attention to rest recently, and don't exercise vigorously. Then I'll go out first. ”
The school doctor nodded, and after a few words, pushed open the door of the infirmary's cubicle, and walked out.
The school doctor closed the door, and as the latch of the door clicked shut, Li Xiang's anxious and guilty appearance just now instantly became expressionless.
"What's the matter, stop acting?"
Nagi cut thistle sat up straight on the bed, staring at Li Xiang, who was expressionless and also staring at herself.
"Well, acting is to deceive others, but I don't bother to disguise myself with you. Besides, even if I disguise, I don't think I can fool you. ”
Li Xiang spread his hands. Pulled a chair from the side and sat down.
"Now it's just the two of us here, and the Ming people don't talk darkly. I know you want to revolutionize the world of cooking. But with me, you can't make it. Or you might as well give up. ”
"Oh? You're a child who hasn't reached adulthood, why stop me? You know, the commander-in-chief of Nagi Senzaemon didn't dare to say that. And he's losing ground on the board now. What gives you so much self-confidence? ”
Nagi thistle regained the aura of the big guy he had just appeared, and asked rhetorically.
Li Xiang scratched his hair and sighed helplessly:
"You still don't believe me. Well, I don't bother to say much about the different positions. Let's see, how about we? ”
Li wanted to get up, and without waiting for Nagi to reply, he turned around and left directly.
After all, he was a boss-level character in the Spirit of the Halberd, and Li Xiang didn't intend to convince the other party, so he just tried it routinely.
Anyway, his purpose for tonight has been achieved. Nagi thistle is sent directly to the infirmary by his punch, and the other party's plot to regain control of Erina is self-defeating.
When attacking the opponent's abdomen, Li Xiang used skill, although it hurt, but it would not leave any serious injuries, and he was still underage, even if he really caused the other party to be injured, considering that he was underage and sent the other party to the hospital for treatment in time, there would be no trouble.
More importantly, than separating the other party from Erina, through tonight's farce, most of the shadow in Erina's heart will disappear.
The basic method of Xinao-style education that Nagi used to Erina when she was a child was to completely cut off Erina from the outside world, making Erina have to rely on the only "strong man" she can reach, her father.
Under this kind of dependence psychology, what the dependent person says will naturally be accepted.
But what if Nagi thistle had the impression in Erina's mind that she was a "weakling"?
What Li Xiang did tonight was to break the inherent impression that Nagi cut thistle left on Erina.
For people, the definition between the strong who can rely on and the weak who can rely on others is relatively complex, but as a superior animal, the male with strength will eventually leave a more reliable impression on people.
Nagi cut thistle was directly knocked away by Li Xiang's punch, and then was held in his arms by Li Xiang in the posture of a princess, and the boss aura when he first appeared was directly shattered by Li Xiang, and then he and Scarlet Sako, Senzaemon dredged it well, and it is estimated that Erina has a chance to come out of the shadows completely.
"Ah, I almost forgot, I've got to contact Nagi Managi."
Li Xiang made a phone call to Nagi Shinaki, who is now overseas, and after some exchanges, Li Xiang won the support of the other party.
Compared to Nagi thistle, who uses her daughter as a tool to realize her own ambitions, Nagi Manaki is more like a mother's affection for Erina. Although it was a little awkward, Nagi Makai just stopped her from becoming a chef out of the fact that she didn't want her daughter to repeat her mistakes.
After discovering that Li Xiang can satisfy his appetite, Nagi Nagi is no longer so resistant to her daughter becoming a chef.
Even if her daughter is as tired of food as she is one day, isn't there still Li Xiang? With her opinion of Li Xiang, she would definitely not watch Erina suffer because she couldn't eat. Isn't it nice to be able to have a good mouth with yourself?
Standing in such a position, Nagi decided to support Li Xiang's actions.
"But Emiya, since you're going to help your father through this, be honest with him about your plans. Father is not a pedantic man, and he should agree to your plan. As for the documents you need, I'll get my people ready and send them to you. ”
"Thank you very much for your support, Aunt Managi."
"Don't be so polite, since you plan to do this, you will be destined to be an ally of the Nagi family in the future, and if you help you, you will help the Nagi family themselves. Okay, I still have some things to deal with in a hurry here, so I'll hang up first. ”
New York, USA, a branch of WGO.
Nagi Shinaki, who hung up the phone, instructed his subordinates beside him:
"Ann, help me send an email to my father."
"Yes, what's the content?"
"Just send it out as it is written."
Nagi took out a note that had just been written and handed it to his subordinates. ... Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network", you can find this site as soon as possible.
