71. Today's meal at the Yachuan family
"Kyushu-san, can you please give this to Yachuan Sakifumi?"
After school that day, a student union official approached Makoto Kyushu and gave him a cardboard box.
"What is this?" Kyushu Makoto looked at the cardboard box and asked with a frown.
"This is a personal belongings that Sakufumi Yagawa kept in the activity room of the Department of Information before, and she has never come to clean it up." The student council officer begged, "Can you please pass it on to her?" ”
Just in case, Kyushu Makoto specially opened the cardboard box to confirm that it was a bunch of stationery and books, not a prank package.
"Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to hand her over to her face?" Makoto Kyushu asked again.
"Because... We are not in a position to speak to her now. The student union cadres did not hide it, but their voices were a little quieter:
"Kyushu-san, I've been eating with Sakumi Yagawa a lot lately, so I want to ask you."
"Your student union is really high~" Kyushu Cheng took the cardboard box and agreed: "Okay, leave it to me." ”
......
"Oh yes, I've got your package here." After leaving school, Makoto Kyushu called Senior Sister Yachuan:
"You want me to send it to your house? I'll keep it for you, can't you just come to school tomorrow and get it? ”
"You said you want to invite me to dinner, and you can help me pack food for the next three days?"
“... Well, I didn't have a shift for today anyway. ”
Hanging up the phone, Makoto Kyushu decided to go to Yachuan's house.
I don't know what this woman is thinking, it's just a bunch of unimportant sundries, but I want Kyushu Cheng to send it to her house.
But she promised to invite Makoto Kyushu to dinner, which made it a little difficult for him to refuse.
By train, Makoto Kyushu came to Yazawaya.
"Hello, I'm a classmate of Sakumi Yagawa~" Makoto Kyushu knocked on the door of the store with the "CLOSE" sign on it and walked in.
He casually placed the cardboard box on the bar, and Mr. Yagawa also walked out of the kitchen.
The former yakuza still wears a long-sleeved shirt, a plaid apron around his chest, a pair of white gloves on his hands to hide the mutilation of his little finger, and sunglasses to hide his criminal appearance.
If he didn't, many of his guests would want to run away at first sight.
"Oh! It's the kid who visited the house last time. Mr. Yachuan seems to be deliberately imitating the way young people greet each other, which sounds a little awkward:
"Sakiwen just went out to help buy groceries, why don't you sit down for a while?"
"Isn't your store open yet?" Makoto Kyushu looked around at the cold storefront.
"Izakaya usually waits for eight or nine o'clock when it's the busiest time, so there's no need to open it now." Mr. Yachuan leaned on the bar, stared at him and asked:
"But the kitchen has already started to prepare, Sakiwen said she will pay for you, what do you want to eat?"
Since Mr. Yachuan said this, Makoto Kyushu was naturally unkind, picked up the menu and looked at it: "Try your signature curry rice set." ”
"Wife! A curry set! Mr. Yachuan shouted loudly into the back kitchen.
After a few moments, Mrs. Raven brought the plate up. In addition to the steaming chicken curry rice, there are also side dishes such as miso soup, kelp salad, pickle plate, and tamagoyaki, which is a simple Japanese meal meal.
Makoto Kyushu dug up a spoonful of curry and tasted it, and the taste was as uncharacteristic as stated on the review site, but it reached the level of "not bad".
However, considering that the price of this set meal is less than 1,000 yen, the value for money is really high, and it is almost enough to catch up with Matsuya, which is known as "the No. 1 cheap restaurant in Wano Country".
After eating, Makoto Kyushu put away all the chopsticks and garbage on the plate, and pushed it to Mr. Yachuan on the other side of the bar.
Silently observing the way the young man was eating, Mr. Yachuan felt a little surprised.
Makoto Kyushu doesn't say "I'm moving" or "Thank you for your hospitality" when he eats, and his eating movements are wild, as if he is in a fierce battle with food, which probably scares the guests around him.
But if you look closely, you can see that the table is still clean after the boy finishes eating, and even if the sauce accidentally spills, it will be wiped off with a napkin.
Mr. Yagawa doesn't know what to say about Makoto Kyushu, but he feels that he is in a state of quantum superposition of the two conclusions of "causing trouble for others" and "being educated"... Should it be more appropriate to describe it as "eclectic"?
"How's it taste?" Mr. Yachuan asked casually.
"It's not bad, there's a lot of room for improvement." Makoto Kyushu replied politely.
"It's not delicious, it's not delicious, just say it~" Mr. Yachuan obviously saw the other party's true thoughts, so he smiled heartily:
"But the selling point of our house is the cheap quantity, and the warm service of the owner and the hostess! Hahaha! ”
"The most important thing is that there are no other competitors in this location, right?" Makoto Kyushu wiped his mouth with a tissue and responded:
"It's not as lively as shopping malls like Ikebukuro Ginza, but there are a lot of office workers who come to eat."
"It's thanks to the fact that we met a reliable local lawyer who helped us pick a good position." Mr. Yachuan sighed and rejoiced:
"This was originally an izakaya, but because the owner passed away, his son was transferred to us."
"Eh, then you guys are really lucky~" Kyushu Makoto nodded:
"Senior Sister Yachuan has been out for a long time. Anyway, her things have already been delivered, and if it's okay, I'll leave first. ”
"Wait a minute." At this time, Mr. Yachuan stopped him.
Mr. Yachuan subconsciously pinched his wrist and asked with determination, "Sakifumi... How are you doing at school? ”
"She was still ostracized by her classmates, and she basically didn't have any friends, so she was self-inflicted." Makoto Kyushu thought for a moment and replied, "But I usually care about her condition, so she didn't have a bad time." ”
"Really... That's good..."Mr. Yachuan seemed to be distressed, and a little entangled:
"I've heard that you're the classmate she framed, right?"
"Yes, I will never forget the trouble she caused me for the rest of my life." Kyushu Cheng expressed his inner thoughts very calmly:
"For the sake of her not yet officially stepping into society, I assume that she has only gone astray and has the value of salvation. If she is a social person like you, sending her to prison is the most suitable ending. ”
"Whew..."Mr. Yagawa let out a long breath, and his eyes became complicated when he looked at Makoto Kyushu.
Immediately afterwards, he bowed his head slightly, and bowed down to Kyushu Cheng respectfully: "My daughter has caused you trouble, I'm really sorry!" ”
"What are you doing?" Makoto Kyushu was amused by his sudden move: "Do people in Wano Country like to bow and apologize at every turn?" ”
"I just want to apologize to you seriously!" Mr. Yachuan's voice trembled slightly: "I am very incompetent as a father, and I ignore your reminders, which is why I cause so much trouble." ”
Mr. Yachuan picked up a cigarette casually, and just wanted to light it and put it down.
"When I was a child, I used to tell her that "the yakuza is a very handsome profession" and set a bad example for her." Mr. Yachuan's gaze casually looked at the clock opposite, and he was a little weak:
"I was also uneasy at the time. What if my daughter found out what a dirty job the underworld was and started hating me? ”
"But the more you hide it, the stronger the backlash will be, and it will even make Senior Sister Yachuan go down the wrong path." Kyushu Cheng looked at Mr. Yachuan with burning eyes, and the two pairs of eyes that were not angry and self-righteous were focused together at this moment:
"If the truth hurts people, lies will only hurt people a hundred times, and it is better to communicate more between families."
"So I'm an incompetent father." Mr. Yachuan smiled bitterly calmly, reached out and pushed his sunglasses up to prevent his eyes from scaring the guests:
"Sakiwen is barely keeping his student status now, but there is also a warning record in the file, and it will be difficult to go to college and find a job in the future."
"But this is all she needs to face by herself, as a father, I can only support her behind the back, that is, give her a little more money."
After saying that, Mr. Yachuan sighed again, and seemed to feel very sorry for his daughter.
"Isn't it as an "underworld," but as a "father" atonement?" Jiuzhou Cheng crossed his fingers with his hands and smiled: "At least you have the intention to save your mistakes, it's good." ”
"Hmph, that's really a thank you for the compliment~" Mr. Yachuan sighed and leaned forward on the bar:
"Little brother, I feel that you are very calm and reliable, and you are completely different from the kind of high-level imps who are not in tune. It's a bit selfish to ask for this, but could you please take care of Sakibun a little bit at school? ”
Mr. Yachuan also has some scheming, and deliberately made this request after Kyushu Cheng finished eating, obviously understanding the truth of "eating people with short mouths".
"I will help her on the premise of 'urging her to the right path.'" Kyushu Cheng nodded, and his tone did not change in the slightest: "In other words, if she wants to die and not change, then I will not spare her." ”
"Hey... That's fine. After receiving an affirmative reply, Mr. Yachuan also breathed a sigh of relief: "You can come and sit more in the future, and you can contact me if you need to... It's like returning the favor to you. ”
"Hmm." Kyushu Cheng nodded: "Then I'll leave first." ”
Just as he was about to leave, there was a wind chime in front of the store, and Sakifumi Yagawa, who was dressed in sportswear, came back with a trolley.
"Daddy, I've bought everything back." Sakumi Yagawa put the trolley at the door and said to his father in a flat tone.
"Does she work in your shop?" Makoto Kyushu asked curiously.
"Sakibun said before that he was going to work outside to compensate us for our losses." Mr. Yachuan smiled and scratched his head:
"She works part-time at a café and helps out when she has time... She is quite talkative and the guests love her. ”
"She doesn't participate in club activities now, and it's a good thing to work part-time to increase social practice experience." Makoto Kyushu nodded with satisfaction.
When Yagawa Sakiwen saw Kyushu Makoto, he immediately stepped forward, leaned over and smiled slightly:
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Kyushu-kun. Can you stay with me for a moment? ”
