“………”

Hattori sat at the hotel table with thick dark circles under his eyes, he yawned from time to time, and he didn't sleep at all after being tortured by the test questions all night.

Even if a cat gave him the answer later, it was still very torturous, because even if he copied the answer, it would be a thousand questions! I'm about to have cramps with my hands!

"Damn...... It's all Kudo's fault......"

Hattori is now running all night, and with the fatigue of his hands, he has no patience at all, and he just wants to use his reasoning to make Kudo lose in a bad way.

Hawkers, that's what he said, in fact, he doesn't have much confidence that he can win against Kudo, after all, he lost last time.

He also knew in his heart that he didn't have any problems with his reasoning ability, and he just lost to Kudo in character and mentality last time.

However, losing is losing, and the spirit of the Osaka man does not allow him to admit defeat, and he must find a chance to win back.

That's why he's so obsessed with Kudo.

"Meow!"

The cat that had given him the answer last night suddenly poked its head out from under the table and beckoned to him.

"Hello~"

He subconsciously responded to the cat, and then shamefully wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and actually greeted a cat so kindly and naturally, it seemed that he was delirious.

"Oh, do you know him?"

From Hattori's point of view, a man in an apron walked over and handed over a bacon omelette in his hand.

"Who will ......... with cats"

He replied casually, and was about to take the plate in the other party's hand, but he didn't expect it to be empty.

The other party touched the cat's head, and then placed the bacon omelette in front of the cat very naturally.

"Meow~"

Meow answered, then took a bite of the sizzling bacon and feasted on it.

It seems that the sentence just now was not asking him.........

He was about to withdraw his hand in embarrassment, but he didn't expect the other party to take out another plate and put it in his hand.

"My name is Katayama, and I'm kind of a chef."

"Ah, oh, Hattori Heiji."

Hattori took the plate, placed it in front of him, picked up the knife and fork on the table, and couldn't wait to get ready to go.

The oily bacon is steaming hot, the smoky aroma is in the nose, and the fried egg doesn't look special.

"Was that cat owned by Mr. Katayama?"

Hattori asked Katayama while cutting the bacon with a knife.

This cat was definitely the one who passed him the answer last night, and he didn't think that this cat would take the initiative to pass it on to him.

No matter how smart a cat is, it can't be smart enough to be that way, so it should be trained to learn to pass things.

Then the one who gave him the answer should be the cat owner.

"Well, let's sort of it."

Katayama looked at Zoro, who was gobbling up, and nodded.

His cat? It's simply the uncle he raised.

Before, he also asked someone about reliable brands of cat food and cat litter boxes, and wanted to prepare them for Zorro.

As a result, when he put the cat food in the cat food box and put it in front of Zorro, he found that this guy did not eat cat food at all, but instead ate the dinner he made for himself.

And then the litter box has never been touched at all, it knows exactly how to go to the toilet in the toilet, and even flushes it itself.

Except that he doesn't like bathing, this guy is no different from a human at all.

"Hmm......"

The moment he put the omelette and bacon in his mouth, Hattori suddenly woke up from a half-asleep dream.

Bacon, also known as bacon, is made from pork breast or other parts of pork that has been cured and smoked.

Bacon is also a type of bacon. It is made by coating pork belly with spices and sea salt and then drying it naturally, and the evenly distributed fat is smooth but not greasy.

That's why it has a smoky flavor and a salty taste, and the moment you bite into it, you can feel the gravy and oil splashing in your mouth.

The fried egg seasoned with black pepper also goes well with bacon.

The fluffy omelette and the thick bacon are served in your mouth together, and Hattori, who was already sleepy, feels like he is really alive.

"You can actually eat such food in Kanto...... It's so exciting! ”

Hattori excitedly stood up from the table.

Then he realized that he had lost his temper and immediately sat back down.........

"Ahem......"

After confirming that it was only him, Katayama and the cat in the restaurant, he coughed in embarrassment and began to taste it.

As a native of Osaka, his taste is naturally slightly heavier than that of the Kanto region, and the light miso soup at the inn last night made him feel like he was drinking white water soup.

"I guess I'm from Kanto because I look like Hattori, so I specially used black pepper to add flavor."

Katayama explained, of course, he wasn't identified by his appearance, because he already knew the situation.

"Thank you for your hospitality......"

Hattori said embarrassedly, and at the same time stuffed another piece of bacon into his mouth...... It's really delicious......

"Café Poirot, which offers meals and other drinks in addition to coffee."

Katayama handed Hattori a flyer, one for each of the hoteliers he had given last night.

The location and business items of Café Poirot are clearly marked on it.

Lemon tea and breakfast specialties are listed at the top of the manager's recommendation.

"Rice flower town? Downstairs in the Maori office?! ”

Japan is so small.........

Hattori looked at the address on it and couldn't help but sigh, it's actually downstairs from the Maori office, so every time I go to Tokyo in the future, I can stop by and try it.

"Ah...... I'm sorry, but I haven't had time to prepare breakfast for you yet......"

A girl in a maid costume appeared in the restaurant at some point, looked at Hattori and Katayama, who were dining, and apologized embarrassedly.

She is the staff in charge of preparing the hotel's three meals, Hitomi Iwai, because the guests who come here usually stay up late every year, so they wake up a little later for breakfast.

Unexpectedly, two gentlemen got up early in the morning.

Katayama is actually okay, he is used to getting up early in the café, and he can't sleep well in the morning after staying up late.

As for Hattori, he didn't sleep at all, and he came early in the morning just with a fluke mentality, thinking that Kudo would still appear, so he came over to squat.

………

"Hmm! Mr. Katayama, please teach me! ”

After being highly recommended by Hattori, Hitomi Iwai also tasted the bacon omelette made by Katayama with suspicion.

She had studied breakfast recipes for a long time, but she had never made such a delicious bacon omelette.

Katayama smiled but said nothing.

It's a matter of course that it's delicious, but he graduated from New Oriental, that is, the little Fudan in the kitchen school!

Rounding off, he is a chef who graduated from Fudan!
