Chapter 36: Have a drink
After eating the stew made by the white ghost, Aoba turned on the TV he bought online and watched a soap opera.
Until the sky began to darken, Aoba, who felt that he had nothing to do, began today's cultivation.
Holding the socket to absorb the current, coupled with the aid of the elixir prepared in the previous life in the Qiankun bag, Aoba's skills are advancing by leaps and bounds.
After finishing today's practice, the time is close to midnight, but Aoba still doesn't want to sleep, this time is a time for modern people who are used to nocturnal activities, going to bed feels early, but if you don't sleep, you want to do something, it's a little too late.
So after staying for a while, Aoba simply opened the window and turned out of the apartment.
"Xiaobai, I'll go to Ono Pavilion for a drink, you can rest first. In the small courtyard of the apartment, Aoba turned back to Xiaobai in the room and said.
Although Xiaobai, who is a ghost, doesn't need to rest, Aoba still said so.
"The host walks slowly. The white ghost said goodbye to Aoba.
So Aoba nodded, closed the window and left the apartment.
Walking through Tokyo in the middle of the night, with the few pedestrians hurrying by under the street lamps, Aoba came to the alley where Onodei was located, opened the familiar sliding door, and then heard the more familiar "welcome" sound of the boss.
"Uncle Oi, good evening. Aoba greeted Saburo Oi, the owner of the bathhouse who was sitting there drinking plum wine as usual.
"Yo little brother, good evening! I haven't seen you here in many days!" said Saburo Oi as he greeted Aoba curiously.
"yes, I haven't been here for a few days. Aoba sat down at the counter as he spoke, and said to Mr. Ono, "Boss, you suddenly want to eat fish today!
"Is it okay to have salmon?" replied Ono.
"Okay, let's have salmon!" Aoba agreed, then added, "And I want beer." ”
"Okay, salmon and beer. Mr. Ono repeated what Aoba asked for and went to prepare.
"Little brother, why don't you drink plum wine today?" said Saburo Oi, puzzled.
"People always want to change their tastes once in a while, don't they?" said Aoba.
Saburo Oi nodded and didn't speak, but drank another glass of plum wine to himself.
Soon, the manager of Ono brought the beer and salmon that Aoba wanted.
Aoba took a sip of beer, ate a bite of salmon, and drank to his heart's content.
At this time, the manager of Ono, who had no job for the time being, also sat down at the counter, opened a bottle of beer for himself, and poured himself a drink.
"Boss!" Aoba gestured to store manager Ono, and store manager Ono also raised his glass, and the two looked at each other and smiled and drank beer together.
"Boss, here in Onodei, it's going to be open until three o'clock in the morning every day, isn't it hard?" asked Aoba.
"At first, it was really hard to reverse day and night, but slowly I got used to it. Mr. Ono, who is about 40 years old, said as he enjoyed his leisure time with a beer.
"From eight o'clock in the evening until three o'clock in the morning, it seems that the boss is aiming for the time for supper!" Aoba smiled.
"Isn't it great to have a drink here after a hard day's work? At first, I just wanted to make more money during this time, so I chose this time to open, but then I gradually realized that I could completely relax myself here after a hard day's work, which was really a great sense of accomplishment! Ono said with a smile.
"Boss, a toast to Onodei. Aoba smiled and raised the beer glass in his hand.
"Count me in, a toast to Onote!" Saburo Oi also raised the plum wine in his hand and said.
"Ah, thank you. Store manager Ono also raised his glass and said.
Just as Aoba was starting to drink the second bottle of beer and Mr. Ono was starting to read the newspaper, there was a sound of the door slamming and a customer arrived.
"Welcome. Manager Ono put down the newspaper and immediately greeted.
Aoba also turned his head to look, and only then did he see two young white-collar girls with a slight smell of alcohol.
"Boss, I heard there's a good pork soup here?" asked one of the long, white-collar girls.
"Yes. Mr. Ono replied.
"Then I want a bowl of pork soup and a small bowl of rice. The white-collar girl said.
"I also want a bowl of pork soup and a small bowl of rice. Another short white-collar girl said the same.
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and sat down at the counter holding hands.
"Okay, pork soup and a small bowl of rice. Mr. Ono repeated the meal ordered by the customer as usual, and then went to prepare.
"Rika, have you heard of the killers that have appeared recently?" said the long, white-collar girl.
"I've heard that I'm said to be a cruel serial murderer!" replied, a short, white-collar girl named Rika.
"Yes, now the rumors are all flying in the sky, but the Metropolitan Police Department has no clues to solve the case at all!" the white-collar girl sighed.
"Kazumi, you said that we didn't come home so late and wouldn't meet that murderer, right?" said the short white-collar girl with a scared expression.
"Probably not!" the eldest girl was also a little uneasy.
"If you're afraid, why don't you go back early? It's always not safe for a girl to walk alone at night. Saburo Oi suddenly interjected.
The two girls glanced at Saburo Oi, and finally the eldest sister who seemed to be more bold answered first.
"Uncle, there are always a lot of things that we can't help ourselves when we work in society! Especially for female employees like us, our seniors ask us to go drinking together, and we can't refuse at all!" replied the eldest sister.
"I see, it's not easy for you!" said Saburo Oi with a sigh.
"But it's also an experience that allows us to grow as much as we can and be able to be independent. "Maybe it's because Saburo Oi is very talkative, and the short girl has the courage to interject.
"However, learning to say no is also a kind of growth!" Aoba also joined the chat, smiling.
"But we don't have the right to refuse now!" said the eldest girl with a wry smile.
"Qualifications are something that you need to fight for, and you can never wait for others to give alms. Aoba said as he poured himself wine.
Just as the two girls listened to Aoba's words thoughtfully, the sliding door was opened again, and with the voice of Ono's store manager "Welcome", another customer walked in.
Aoba turned his head to look, and the young man who had just come in was the same young man who had recommended plum sake to him with Saburo Oi when he first came to Onodei.
Later, Aoba also met the young man once or twice in Onodeei, and remembered that his name was Kobayashi Masatomo.
