Although it was not clear why Kong Yinzi suddenly became alert, Yushan Heren was too lazy to think about it and continued playing chess with Kong Yinzi.
Hinazuru Ai and Yashagami Ten'i on the side did not continue to think about the profound questions about the future of life. They knelt aside and continued to watch the shogi game attentively.
Chapter 1569: Adventure at the Croquette Stall
"The Demon Lord."
It was four o'clock in the afternoon when Charlotte woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. As soon as she woke up, she found Yushan Heren and lay on his back.
"Charlotte, wake up." Yushan Heren couldn't help but turn around and look at Charlotte who was sticking to his back.
"Yeah." Charlotte blinked and yawned before speaking.
"Is there anything you want to do after waking up?" Yushan Heren asked after putting down a piece.
"I want to...eat croquettes." Charlotte said.
"Hey, I want to eat something!" Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink.
She went to sleep after lunch and wanted to eat as soon as she woke up. Yushan Kazuto really didn't know how Charlotte's small stomach could fit so much food.
Charlotte responded, still clinging to Yushan Kazuto's back.
However, Hinazuru Ai, who was standing by, had such anger in her eyes that it was about to overflow, causing Yushan Kazuto to grin.
Due to Charlotte's interference, the game was naturally difficult to continue. After playing the last game with Sora Ginko, Yushan Kazuto stood up and prepared to go out to buy croquettes.
The reason why they didn't prepare it at home was naturally because Yushan Heren wanted to be lazy.
Besides, Charlotte had just woken up, so it would be better to take her out for a walk.
Sora Ginko and the other two were still sitting beside the chessboard, with no intention of moving. Yushan Kazuto had no choice but to take Charlotte to the sofa and look at Tsuchima Yui and Yukinoshita Yukino who were sitting on it.
"Umaru-chan, Yukinoshita, would you like to go out for a walk together?"
"Hmm?" Tsuchima Mamoru put down her phone, looked up and glanced at Yushan Kazuto.
"Charlotte wants to eat croquettes, take her to buy some for her to try." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
The living room was too big, and Yushan and Charlotte had spoken in low voices before, so neither of them could hear clearly.
Tsuchimura stood up and nodded. Although Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say anything, she also closed the book and stood up.
"Umi-chan, go ask Xiaohua and the others if they want to eat first." Yushan Kazuto said.
Tsuchima Mai turned her eyes and looked at Hayama Kazuto, only to see Hayama Kazuto leading Charlotte towards Izumi Sagiri's room.
……
When I walked to the door, Tsuchiya Mai was already waiting there.
"Ayano said she didn't want to eat it, Xiaohua asked for one, and Mio asked for three at once." Seeing Yushan Kazuto coming over, Doma Mai spoke.
"Three?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Mio, are you not going to have dinner?"
"Then why don't we buy one for her?" said Tsuchimaki.
"No, buy three." Yushan Kazuto shrugged, "Let her watch us eat dinner."
……
Croquettes, a ubiquitous street food, can be found in a very small shop less than 300 meters from Shinmachi Apartment.
The shop is located next to two adjacent old apartment buildings and is run by an old grandmother.
Generally speaking, the food at snack bars run by elderly people tends to taste better than that run by young people. After all, it is the taste that is still recognized after decades.
After walking to the door of the shop and placing an order, Yushan and a few others stood by the road, watching the hustle and bustle of traffic.
The streets on weekends are always more crowded than on weekdays, but Charlotte raised her hand and pointed in a direction.
"That... looks like a poster about the Demon Lord!"
"What?" Hearing Charlotte's words, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly and looked in the direction Charlotte pointed.
Not far ahead is an elementary school. There are naturally no classes on weekends. There is a bulletin board at the entrance of the elementary school with the cover of the comic drawn by Sagiri Izumi posted on it.
There is no need to say much about who the cover character is. Even Charlotte knows this.
Looking at the comic cover posted on the bulletin board, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blush.
"That's an elementary school. It should be a poster for an elementary school football match." Yushan Heren said angrily.
"Is this? Infringement of copyright without permission?" Yukinoshita Yukino said in a low voice.
"Hey, hey, there's no need, there's no need, and it's not for commercial purposes, right?" Yushan Heren hurriedly said.
"Besides, Sagiri will definitely be very happy to see that someone is willing to use her painting as a poster."
Yukinoshita Yukino blinked slightly and nodded.
"Will Sister Sagiri be happy?" Charlotte looked at Yushan Kazuto and asked.
"Of course she's happy. This means her work is recognized by more people." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
The most classic cartoon characters on elementary school football posters are those from "Captain Tsubasa", but I didn't expect to see my own cartoon image this time. It's really embarrassing.
"Over there, Brother Yushan, your croquettes are ready."
I walked to the other side of the bulletin board and took a photo. Not far away, the old lady's voice was heard.
Yushan Heren turned around and looked at the other party in disbelief. If he remembered correctly, he should not have introduced himself.
"Grandma, how do you know my name is Yushan?" Yushan Heren asked nervously as they walked to the door of the store.
"Do you think grandma doesn't watch football? I recognized you the first time you came here!" The old lady glanced at Yushan Heren and handed over the croquette.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help scratching his head, took the croquette, paid for it, and then
Quickly fled the store.
No wonder every time I come to buy croquettes, I always feel that the ones given by this old lady are always much bigger than ordinary croquettes.
I originally thought that the croquettes in this restaurant were just big, but now it seems that there may be another hidden reason.
In the 1990s, when the J-League was first established, it was the most prosperous period for Japanese football culture. During that period, the Japanese people's enthusiasm for football even exceeded that for baseball.
At that time, no matter men, women, young or old, everyone was looking forward to football and the scene of Japan lifting the World Cup.
The old lady who owns this shop also started to like football during that period.
She was in her thirties at the time and fell in love with football along with her husband. She was also a die-hard fan of Tokyo Verdy, formerly Kawasaki Verdy.
Every weekend, when Kawasaki Greenery has a game, she and her husband will drive to Kawasaki to watch the game.
Things have changed. In the late 2s, after the enthusiasm for football ebbed, many people lost their passion for football. The Tokyo Verdy team that the old lady supported was also relegated from the original J-League overlord to the J League. It has experienced several ups and downs but has not been able to recover.
However, the old lady in this store has not lost her passion for football and still supports football silently.
Nowadays, she will still watch Tokyo Verdy's games if she has time, but the person who accompanied her to watch the games has left this world.
Chapter 1570 BIG ECHO
After dinner, Mizukoshi Mio's belly instantly became round.
Originally, she had eaten three plus versions of croquettes in the afternoon, but looking at the table full of delicious dinner, Mizukoshi Mio couldn't help but eat some more.
As a result, after dinner, she was so bloated that she couldn't even walk.
If Ayano Sadato hadn't told Kazuto Hayama, this kind of thing would be a common occurrence for Mizukoshi Mio, and Kazuto Hayama even planned to send her to the hospital for a check-up.
After all, overeating can easily cause stomach rupture.
……
"See you next week then, Yukinoshita."
After waving to Yukinoshita Yukino in the car, Hayama Kazuto walked towards the direction where Doma Mei and Shirasaki Hana were standing.
Having more visitors at home is more troublesome.
Just to say goodbye, I have to go back and forth several times.
Taking a deep breath, Yushan Heren quickened his pace and walked up to the two of them.
"The wind is quite comfortable tonight?" Yushan Heren said.
"Yeah, it feels kind of cool." Shirosaki Hana said.
"I just don't know if it will rain tomorrow." Tsuchima couldn't help but blink slightly.
"It shouldn't be. Today, because Typhoon Blue Lake is approaching the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk, it has caused the cyclone to rise in the surrounding areas and caused a certain degree of cooling."
"But tomorrow Typhoon Blue Lake will enter the Sea of Okhotsk, and the impact on Tokyo will be reduced. If it hasn't rained yet, it will definitely not rain tomorrow."
Doma Mai couldn't help but blink slightly, but Shirasaki Hana looked at Yushan Kazuto with some admiration.
"Well, the weather is nice tonight, how about going for a walk or going somewhere for a walk?" Yushan Heren said.
There were always people at home today, and Yushan Kazuto didn't spend enough time with Shirasaki Hana. Now he finally had the chance in the evening.
"Okay!" Baisakihua agreed immediately.
"How about going to the world of ice and snow?" Tsuchima blinked and said.
Ever since she owned her own ski equipment, Tsuchima has developed a great interest in the world of ice and snow.
Although the results haven't come out yet, Tsuchima Mai has already thought about heading to the world of ice and snow.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but glance at Domama: "Eh? Let Xiaohua decide."
"Ice and snow world..." Shirosaki Hana hesitated.
When they were in Tama, Haruka Shirasaki often took Hana Shirasaki to the ice and snow world, so Hana Shirasaki was not very interested in the ice and snow world.
"Don't want to go? How about going to Akihabara?" Yushan Kazuto saw that Shirasaki Hana didn't seem to want to go to the ice and snow world, so he spoke.
"In the evening...is the Huzilang store still open?" Shirosaki Hana blinked and looked at Yushan Kazuto.
"Well," Yushan Kazuto blinked, "I think it probably won't open."
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Shirosaki Hana suddenly lost most of her interest in Akihabara.
Although catching dolls is fun, Shirasaki Hana is not very interested in it this time.
"Brother Kazuto, how about we go to karaoke?" Shirosaki Hana suddenly asked.
"Karaoke?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. Why would Shirasaki Hana come up with such an adult form of entertainment?
Of course, in Japan, it is a common phenomenon for high school students to go to karaoke to sing after school, but for elementary school students, karaoke is still a little too early.
"I heard before that Sister Miyako would go to karaoke to sing alone, so I also want to experience it." said Shirosaki Hana.
"Would you like to experience the feeling of singing at a karaoke bar alone?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Aren't Brother Kazuto and Sister Mai here too?" Shirosaki Hana immediately spoke up.
She just wanted to experience the feeling of karaoke. After all, Miyako Hoshino was a very socially anxious person, and she would occasionally go to karaoke to sing, which made Shirasaki Hana a little curious.
"Since Xiaohua wants to go, then go ahead." Yushan Heren blinked and said.
"But I have to state in advance that I don't sing."
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but glance at Hayama Kazuto and said, "Why? It's not fair for three people to go to karaoke and one person doesn't sing!"
"My singing is terrible, so forget it." Yushan Heren said.
"Kazuto-nii's singing is obviously very nice! I've heard it at home before!" Shirosaki Hana immediately said.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and glanced at Shirasaki Hana. When he was a child, he sang some nursery rhymes to Shirasaki Hana to help her fall asleep.
But after so much time had passed, Shirasaki Hana still remembered it so clearly, which surprised Yushan Kazuto.
"Really? What songs did they sing?" Domama started gossiping immediately.
"Some children's songs and nursery rhymes from all over the world, with more from Japan and China." said Shirasaki Hana.
"That was when you were one or two years old, how come you still remember it?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but ask.
"My mother recorded it. She said that I fall asleep easily when I listen to those songs." said Shirasaki Hana.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. He didn't expect that such a thing could be recorded by Shirasaki Haruka.
"It's a pity that I can't find it now. I don't know where I put it." Baisakihua blinked slightly and said in a low voice.
