Chapter XI
Put the fire cover in the wine cabinet and look back at the tomatoes. Tomato is also digesting what Kui said today, mainly today's things are too hanging. By the way, I forgot to ask Kui how he found it, and how did he know about Tomato Awakening, and it's only the third day of the full fight. Things came a little fast, and my life was completely disrupted by another world. And are the current demons all so modern? Wearing ordinary clothes, speaking ordinary language, driving a plane, by the way, whether you use a mobile phone, forgot to ask him for a phone number. My mind was in a mess, like my life right now, and I don't even know how to describe it.
Tomato and I looked at each other for a moment and uttered the line that everyone would torture themselves deeply at night: "I'm hungry, do you want to go out for a late-night snack?" ”。
Yes, after an afternoon of tossing, I didn't eat anything except the roast beef meal at home, and I didn't drink much water. Truth be told, only good food can't live up to it. We're not going out for a bite to eat. The problem is that in T City, there are too few restaurants that open late at night, and they basically close one after another until half past eleven. Occasionally, there are a few shops that sell alcohol, and they are open until 2 o'clock in the morning at most, which is not comparable to the nightlife in China.
But hunger is still hungry, and when you are most upset and uncomfortable, what can cure yourself? That's just barbecue.
"Do you want to go for a barbecue? I don't think I've ever taken you out to a restaurant. But can you get out like this? Many restaurants don't accept pets, unless it's a guide dog, and you don't look like it. ”
"Go find a big hoodie, the one your mom bought you in your closet."
Speaking of which, I really want to complain about my mother. She always felt that I was still growing my body, and she bought me clothes based on her imaginary figure. I'm actually only 175 tall and weigh 80 kilograms, which is considered a fat body type, and this body shape has basically not changed since I was 20 years old. But my mother always felt like I was growing up and gaining weight. So the last time they came, they brought me a 190-tall, oversized hoodie that anyone over 130 kilograms could wear, and I don't even know where they got it. But touching this dress, you can deeply feel the feelings of parents for their children.
Having said that, can I still bring my parents to live with me in the Maple Leaf Country? It would be a lot of trouble for my parents to know about these things. The last time they came, they were full of resistance to raising tomatoes, and they always wanted me to send them away, but I withstood a lot of pressure to stay. My mom also said that men don't have cats and women don't have dogs. What kind of feudal superstition is this, but aren't these demons and monsters superstitions? How I feel like I'm living in a double world.
Without stopping for a moment, I pulled out the oversized jumper. It's almost up to my knees when I put it on, and I button up my hat again, a typical hip-hop teenager. But the front pockets are really big, no wonder Tomato thought of this dress.
"Let's go, in your pocket?"
"yes, that's big enough." After Tomato deftly jumped in, we went out.
The tomato is really warm, and with her in my pocket, it is like a stove. She has no objection to barbecue, which means that she can also eat salty, after all, there is a lot of salt in the meat cured outside. Today she is eating with me, these days are eating the same meal with me, what to do with the cat food saved at home, I can't eat it, and I can't return it after opening the bag. Go back and ask Tomato, now she has the absolute initiative.
Look at this meaning, whether it's a tomato or other monsters, I don't mean to eat me, isn't it now that the monsters are civilized? She shouldn't know about this matter when she asks Tomato, but she still has to ask Kui. Kui is an ancient mythical beast, why is he also running errands in North America now? And look at this meaning, in fact, the distribution of monsters is very wide, and they have been integrated into human society, which means that the people around you may be a demon, but no one knows? Is it easy to distinguish? I always feel unsure, if I listen to them and open a study abroad service agency like this, will it violate the law here? There are relevant requirements for studying abroad in the immigration law, such as financial guarantees, such as previous academic qualifications, and the admission notice of the school to be accepted. But do you need to provide relevant information for demon study abroad? Do I still need an admission notice from the relevant school? Or are they basically black households? This is also impossible, and there is no need for any office to come forward to do this.
This office is too strange, is it looking for a bunch of demons to work? Do you pay a salary? Is it cash or the spirit stone as it says in the novel? Do they have to apply for a work permit to work here? Can I immigrate after a long time? Do youkai have a nationality? Kui said today, the Central Plains and the surrounding areas, that is, there are regional distinctions, but is there a nationality? What do youkai want nationality for? Running for president? Participate in the Parliament? It's hard to imagine.
And demons are demons after all, will they do something here, or poke some basket out. So how do I fix it? I'm just a small international student, an ordinary person who has just immigrated here for a short time, how to solve a big problem? I still have to ask for his contact information, and I want to make sure that I can contact him. Don't go back and make 10 calls without replying, it's useless.
I just drive in my thoughts, this is my habit, I think about things in my head when I do anything. At this time, the tomato had already come out of the pocket and lay on the co-pilot's headrest, the nails in the paws were deeply rooted in the fibers, fortunately it was not a leather seat, but she also hooked a lot of threads. She looked nervously at the road, occasionally looking left and right, and her pupils had shrunk to the minimum. It's no wonder that I haven't taken her on a car yet, and if she hadn't woken up, I wouldn't have taken her out.
"We've got to the place, come in." I expertly stopped the car, and the tomato burrowed into my arms. This is really hidden, the tip of the tail is still outside. I shoved her tail into my pocket, and she actually slapped me, did she mind if I touched her ass?
I walked into the restaurant with my hands in my hands, "Eat alone." ”
"Welcome! Okay, please follow me. ”
This is a Japanese-style yakiniku restaurant in T City, and it is quite large, and the price is reasonable, and everyone around likes to come. Every waiter here is trained, and they all look friendly and pleasant, and they will occasionally chat with you.
"Sir, is this seat all right?" The waiter led me to a single booth.
"Okay, thanks."
"Do you want a drink list?"
"Don't. No! Leave me to see", the tomato suddenly pricked me in the pocket, she wants to drink? Then stay. However, the wine in the restaurant is the most expensive, basically 200% to 300% of the retail outside, no way, people have to make money.
"Give, wine list. I ordered 3 portions of meat and 10 portions of beef. Are you going to drink? ”
"No, stupid, I'm telling you to keep an eye on that waiter. There was no tacit understanding at all. ”
“… Eldest sister, you've only been awake for three days, and you reminded me that you were all applauding directly. That's the tacit understanding. What happened to this waiter? I turned my head to look at the waiter who was ordering food from other tables with an electronic screen. A little girl who is not tall, wears a black overalls, black travel shoes, a ponytail whip, and bangs in the front. The skin is fair, the eyes are not big, but they are thin and cute, with a pointed nose and a pointed chin, a typical goose egg face. Because this kind of restaurant has to accept Chinese customers, it basically likes to hire people who can be multilingual, so I don't see any difference.
"What's wrong with her? I didn't see it. ”
"She has a beard."
"Is that a girl's called a beard? That's hair. It's normal for a few girls to have heavy hair and hair once in a while. ”
"No, if you look closely, she has a beard on either side of her mouth."
I turned my head again to see the waiter coming with a plate to serve me meat. Only then did I see that there was indeed a faint mustache on the waiter's face, two or three on one side. But this girl is already white, and her beard is also light-colored, so she can't see it at all. I smiled at the waitress in a friendly smile, and she smiled at me as well, and walked away with the tray.
What does this mean? What's wrong with having a beard? She's a demon? ”
"It's not too stupid, she should be a fox or a cat demon too."
"Then why is she able to shapeshift? Taller than you? ”
"Not necessarily, I felt her when I came in. Don't talk about her, there should be another in the back kitchen. But they weren't as good as me, I could just feel them. ”
"What kind of high-tech is this?"
"One of the ways that Kui told me today is to feel the same kind of feeling, which is actually very simple, is to hold your breath and concentrate, and then focus on your skin. Then where your hair is numb, there is a different smell at that time. The numbness is the same breath as you, and the pain is different, such as the Terran monk. If there is still a pinprick in this feeling, it means that he is hostile to you or has discovered you. ”
“… Is this a racial gift? Can I practice? ”
"Try it yourself, I'll tell you the method anyway."
I tried hard to concentrate, I didn't feel it at all, I think it has something to do with my physique, I'm not a demon after all. Forget it, eat meat. Tomato popped out of her pocket, then picked up my plate and placed it on a chair for me to grill her. What do you use for me?
In my silence I started to roast the tomatoes, and suddenly the waitress came over with another plate in her hand. I tried to block the tomato, but the tomato began to look directly at her.
The waitress came over and looked at the tomatoes, then at me, and said, "I forgot to serve you a plate, I'm sorry, this is for you." Then she looked at the tomato again, and the tomato looked at her, but the tomato was not curled up, but slightly extended, with its tail wagging from side to side, and its paws crossed to look at the waitress. The waiter looked at the tomatoes, didn't say anything, and brought a screen to block our dining area.
Tomato turned over and jumped on the table and said to me, "This shop is really my own shop." ”
Not long after, the waiter came in with a plate of meat and said to the tomato, "Please eat, this is a gift, moon meat." He smiled at me again and walked out.
