When night falls in Tokyo, but the city is not dark, the neon lights on the long streets are lit up from east to west, this is a strange city, lifeless during the day, but alive at night, as if from a plain sports girl to a seductive royal sister, the meaning of the lights is gradually strong.

The terrace known as the "Awakening Temple" is covered with tatami mats, and on a long table is a 200-kilogram deep-sea bluefin tuna, which is sliced open with a mirror-like Motoyaki kitchen knife, and the belly of the fish is as tempting as pink marble.

Surrounding this main course are teriyaki pufferfish, charcoal-grilled capelin, peony shrimp sashimi, and blue lobster sashimi flown in from France, served in a jug with a mellow and fragrant Black Kirishima sake.

On a small table in front of each person are cooked Kobe beef, gooseneck barnacles, Bellevue-style cold quail, and turkey patties with truffles.

Tonight, the chef of the family is in charge of the work, and the treatment is far higher than that of a three-Michelin restaurant at noon.

In order to entertain the head chef of the department, the chef himself took the poetry of Rabindranath Tagore's "Birds" and presented the grandest and most colorful side of Japanese cuisine to diners.

But in Yuan Zhisheng's opinion, this is purely a pretty eye for the blind to see, and the three two hundred and five on the other side of the table do not understand the splendor of summer flowers at all, and are immersed in the harvest of shopping during the day.

Chu Zihang bought the Kansai Iron Teapot, Lu Mingfei was holding the limited edition figure of Minoru Asahina and Xia Mi's Suzumiya Haruhi to face each other, Nono bought a full set of JOJO comics, Fingal drooled over the scavenged *** magazine, and Caesar's things were parked downstairs, which was a van.

Caesar walked into Matsuzakaya, which stood on the streets of Ginza, took the catalogue from the boss's hand, and without looking carefully, he casually circled the top 10 items in price, "Give me 30 copies of each", the boss looked at the foreigner whose tone was bigger than the sky, and said tremblingly, "Sir, the price is ......"

Then Caesar's hired van drove up, and the boss obediently shut up and began to beckon the clerks to carry things to Caesar's van.

Then this lawless foreigner walked into the Kyoto silverware shop and said that the most expensive silver tea sets should be loaded into the car with 30 sets each, and then walked into the "Shippo yaki" shop......

He posted on the Night's Watch discussion board that he would bring a gift to everyone in the student council, and he kept his word for it.

Yuan Zhisheng worked as a tour guide and shopping guide for a whole day, watching Caesar take the box truck from this store to that store, swiping the card and swiping it again, watching Xia Mi in the spring of the S Lianggong and Chu Zihang, who was forced by his own dragon king to take photos in various places, this and that, watching Nuo Nuo and Lu Mingfei eat all over the streets and alleys hand in arm, as well as Fingal, who was crazy about passing beauties......

It wasn't until the clouds covered the sky that the raindrops were narrow, and a few neuropaths ran with the scattered people who were hiding from the rain, and Chu Zihang was fully prepared, opened his Burberry umbrella and walked in the rain with Xia Mi, and the cherry blossoms slowly fell on his umbrella.

Coupled with the village rain he carried around his waist, he had the style of a ronin samurai during the Warring States period.

Gen Zhisheng couldn't figure out whether the three men were too nervous or confident, and they would be on a high-risk mission of "SS" class tomorrow night, so I couldn't tell how nervous they were.

"This stripper is your favorite Asahina Minoru Kuru? What a pervert toy." Caesar looked curiously at Lu Mingfei fiddling with the figure, "But if you take off your clothes, she is just a plastic doll with a flat body."

"First of all, this is not called a strip puppet, this is called a figure, and secondly, this is not a pervert toy, you can take off your clothes because it has a dress-up function, not for you to take off your clothes and watch ***!"

"I saw a store that sold something like that, the size of a real person, and the ability to change clothes." Caesar sipping sake.

"You stumbled into some strange adult store, right? That's not a figure, it's an inflatable doll!"

"Oh, inflated, indeed...... At the time, I was also curious about why the Japanese made lifebuoys in the shape of humans."

This kind of unnutritious Bai Yuanzhi really didn't want to listen to it, he wanted to get up and leave immediately but couldn't, so he could only bow his head and wipe the spider cut.

"May I look at your knife?"

Yuan Zhisheng raised his head and met Chu Zihang's eyes, he remembered that Chu Zihang's usual weapon was also a Japanese sword.

"Then show me your village rain too." Yuan Zhisheng said, and held the spider with both hands, Chu Zihang also took it with both hands, put it on the table upright, and then untied the village rain around his waist and handed it to Yuan Zhisheng.

The two of them drew their knives at the same time, staring at the blade in the faint light of the candle flame on the table.

Chu Zihang blew out the candle flame, and after the light source disappeared, the spider cut brightened up, as if there was an invisible cold moon in the night sky illuminating it.

"Hey, you can't turn off the lights, I'll eat mustard in my nostrils when it's dark." Fingal said.

"It's an ancient knife, right? Such an expensive thing is still used as a weapon?" Chu Zihang returned the spider cut.

"It's an antiquity in the Sword Museum, but the knife still needs to be used to be called a knife, and if you put it in the museum, it's just a corpse of a knife." Yuan Zhisheng said surgingly, "Your village rain is very good, it should be an alchemy product, right?"

"It's something my dad left behind, but he's gone." Chu Zihang said, "What's its name? I always feel like there's a smell of blood."

"Fierce night lurk in Spider Mountain." Yuan Zhisheng replied, "The knife is made of dirty things, and the more you use it, the dirtier it becomes, and the blood that has been stained can be washed away, but the fishy smell remains on it."

"Is your sword also a family heirloom?"

"No, I haven't seen my father, and he hasn't left me anything. I was an orphan who was adopted with my brother at an early age, and it wasn't until I grew up that I was recognized as a descendant." Yuan Zhisheng said, "It's like Lonely George, do you know Lonely George?"

"I've heard of it, it's famous, some say it's the loneliest animal in the world." Chu Zihang said.

One of Chu Zihang's few hobbies is reading, and he will pick up any book to read, so he will know a lot of unpopular knowledge, such as the Pinta Island tortoise named George.

"The Gen family is an old family, but since the Edo period, there have been fewer and fewer people in the Gen family, and at one point the family elders thought that the Gen family had no descendants, but they found me and my brother in the mountains, and we were confirmed to have the lineage of the Gen family, and the Gen family's seat in the family was restored."

"I am called the head of the Gen family, but I am the only one in the Gen family. So I feel like that tortoise."

Yuan Zhisheng took a sip of sake in his cup and slowly revealed his life experience.

"You just said you had a younger brother."

"He's probably ...... It's dead."

"Alas, I can't imagine that everyone had an easy time when they were young," Lu Mingfei sighed with emotion when he drank the sake in one gulp, "My father and mother went abroad when I was in junior high school, and now that I am in the second year of college, they didn't say that they came back to see me, sometimes I wonder, did they give me a younger brother or sister or something, and secretly hid abroad and didn't tell me, otherwise my family is just such a single seedling, why wouldn't they leave me at my uncle's house?"

"I thought that a few of us couldn't find anything in common, and I couldn't think of finding it in the matter of parents." Caesar also looked up and drank the sake in his toast, "Well, my mother died when I was very young, and my father ...... I've been dead for years, and it seems like I can join your parents too."

Lu Mingfei asked.

"Who?"

"Chu Zihang and Xia Mi."

"Hmm." Lu Mingfei grabbed Nuo Nuo's hand, "We are also a couple."

Gen Zhisheng turned his head and stared at the sumptuous dishes on the table in silence.

"What's wrong, Brother Yuan, I have something to tell my buddy, and my buddy will help you solve it!"

Maybe he drank too much sake, Lu Mingfei patted Yuan Zhisheng's shoulder, arrogant.

"It's nothing, it's just a little surprised that someone like Chu Zihang would have a girlfriend."

"yes, I was surprised when I first heard about it." Caesar said he was cutting the turkey meat from his plate into small pieces, "but there it is."

"Don't look at my brother as a facial paralysis robot man, but in fact, he is very popular in school, and girls like him." Lu Mingfei began to speak, "I want to be in our Shilan Middle School...... Oh, he and I used to be in the same middle school, and he was one year higher than me, well, in Shilan Middle School, the name of the senior brother is known to everyone......

Yuan Zhisheng quietly listened to Chu Zihang's legendary experience in Shilan and asked, "What is your impression of Chu Zihang?"

"The world's No. 1 invincible brother!"

"Confident and a little stinky, a guy I hate."

"Well, it's different from what I remembered." Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Chu Zihang, "His first impression to me was that he was the kind of person who had no temperature at all, and he didn't pay attention to anything in the discussion."

"But when he spoke of his father, there was a crack in his hard shell, and although his tone was very strong, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, betraying his heart."

"Brother Yuan, you look at people very carefully~"

"He just likes to observe, I thought he would be the kind of person who is very persistent, even paranoid, if I guessed correctly, his father's death should have something to do with the dragons."

"Almost."

"So he's always made revenge his life's motivation, right?"

"It used to be."

"Before?" Gen Zhisheng was a little puzzled, "Then why not now?"

"Oh, thanks to that girl." Lu Mingfei raised his glass and gestured to Xia Mi, who was leaning on Chu Zihang's arms, "Don't underestimate her, senior brother was eaten to death by that girl, it's incredible, isn't it?"

"Maybe it's the magic of love."

"Yes, there was such a stubborn reason for such inexplicable loneliness, just like you ancient Japanese wanderers, carrying a good sword at your waist and riding a majestic horse, wandering in this world, you have already built an iron defense line in your heart, just like the so-called impregnable wall in the Bible? Well, yes, the wall of Jericho."

"Have you watched "One Night"? It's a classic, and if you haven't seen it, I recommend you check it out, and at 79:49, Peter Vaughn, played by Clark Gable, says, "I'm going to tear down the walls of Jericho," because he's met the twenty-thousandth in his life."

"So at the end of the movie, Joshua's victory horn sounds, and the wall of Jericho falls, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, although you haven't reached the end yet, you've seen the most beautiful scenery in the world, and you find that you can't take your steps away with all your might, and you can't even take your eyes off it, for whatever reason and what loneliness, and your persistence all along, it's like you're fart, and you're beaten to the point of losing your armor in an instant."

"Sounds good." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"Eh, Brother Yuan, do you have anyone you like?" Lu Mingfei suddenly leaned over and asked with a smile.

"Nope."

"Really? I think Miss Sakura is pretty good, she seems to mean a little bit of that to you."

"You're drunk." Yuan Zhisheng frowned.

"Okay, okay, let's change the subject, is there anything Brother Yuan wants to do?"

"What do you want to do...... "I've always wanted to go to France, where there is a famous naturist beach, and I want to get a job selling sunscreen."

"Switching from the master of the underworld to selling sunscreen? Don't you think it's too cross-industry?" Caesar poured himself full

, rejoining the conversation.

Although he couldn't appreciate the Zen in "Born Like a Summer Flower", he could still eat it. Outside, the rain was thundering, and they were sitting barefoot on the cool tatami mats eating Japanese food overlooking Tokyo in the rain.

"Managing the underworld is the job of the head of the Minamoto family, and as for myself," Gen said, "I want to leave Tokyo and find a warm and comfortable city to live a life of eating and waiting for death."

Caesar smiled contemptuously, "My uncle Frost also used to say that he wanted to live a modest life, and he was now the acting head of the Gattuso family, and when he was busy, he would complain, 'Hell, it would be nice if my schedule was empty for a month, so that I could go back to the old house in the country for a while, and read a good book with a good drink, and say hello to my old neighbors.'"

"But as long as the phone doesn't ring for a long time, he will be restless, and he feels that things are beyond his control."

"You're saying I'm just as hypocritical as your uncle?" Yuan Zhisheng remained silent.

"I don't want to mock you, but everyone does." Caesar took a cigar in his mouth, "They call you Young Master, you are second only to the patriarch in a family in charge of the Japanese underworld, you are the person who calls the wind and rain in this city, you can do whatever you want, but you will not be a big man if you leave here."

"It's not a good feeling to go from a big guy back to a normal person."
