Chapter 204 I will be back
Maybe it was because it was a weekend, so there were a few more people in the bar even during the day.
The seats at the bar were all taken, so I simply sat at a booth nearby.
The bartender stood at the corner of the table holding a round tray, put the menu in front of me, and said with a smile: "You rarely come here at this time."
"I just happen to be free." I answered him while looking down at the menu.
Several drinks have been added to the first page, including juice, milk tea, coffee, and even fruit tea.
Seeing my eyes fixed on the drink, the bartender quickly said, "We have recently launched several new non-alcoholic drinks. Do you like any of them?"
“Emm…” There are so many choices that I don’t know what to drink.
"Any recommendations?"
“I personally recommend brown sugar bubble milk tea.”
"Then this."
Besides, my stomach was still empty, so I simply turned to the second page and continued reading.
The clock on the wall showed two o'clock in the afternoon, which was a bit late to eat.
I remember that I first walked around the street, and then killed three or two low-level cursed spirits before I got here.
"I'd like some pork chop curry rice."
The buttered potatoes under the curry rice are made by stuffing the diced potatoes with butter and bacon, sprinkled with salt and chopped parsley, and look delicious.
"And one more side of buttered potatoes." I handed the menu back. "That's all, thank you."
"You're welcome." The bartender looked a little flattered. He smiled at me, "This is the first time you've chosen a drink I recommended."
I:"........"
No, judging from his reaction, he wouldn't think that I was targeting him because I kept rejecting his recommendation to only drink lemon-coke.
When the brown sugar pearl milk tea was served, an unexpected person appeared at the door.
Gojo Satoru.
"Wu-chan." He strode up to her, sat down discontentedly, and began to mutter, "I've been looking for you for a long time."
"Why don't you answer your phone?"
"Huh?" I was stunned and took my phone out of my pocket, only to find that it had automatically turned off because I forgot to charge it last night.
"Why are you here?" I asked, tapping the glass with the spoon. "Aren't there a lot of things waiting for you to deal with?"
Logically speaking, it should have been handed over to me a few days ago.
However, regarding the appearance of me, people from the General Headquarters, the Big Three Families, and even the Technical High School have never completely let down their guard.
I don't trust the [Five Mists] in front of me.
That was what was revealed in those people's eyes, but due to various reasons, they chose not to say it out loud.
"What he can do, you can't do." said Fushiguro Shigeki.
"I know you come from another world and don't have any feelings for the students here, and you may not care about them very much." said Principal Ye Moth.
"It seems that there are still big differences between boys and girls," said Glass.
Of course, I don't mean to blame anyone here.
At the beginning, I didn't expect that I could completely deceive them. After all, they were people I had known for many years. If they didn't have any suspicion, I would be scared.
But this is also the reason why I cannot gain true trust. It is too suspicious. Anyone would have the same reaction.
"They are all insignificant little things."
Gojo Satoru waved his hand nonchalantly, even revealing a slightly sarcastic smile, "Old Oranges are like this, they don't care about matters that truly involve human lives, but are particularly concerned about infighting."
"Yes." I nodded at him and smiled, "That's very well said."
"To reward you for telling the truth, I'll treat you to a meal. Order whatever you want."
“Eh…” Gojo Satoru dragged out his tone in mock dissatisfaction, “That being said, the money that can be used is all mine, right?”
"What do you have to complain about?" I stretched out my foot from under the table and kicked him.
I don’t know if it’s because we’re the same person, but his lack of bottom line has no effect on me at all and I can beat him easily.
"For what I have done for you, I can get paid, not to mention 100 million, but tens of millions is more than enough."
"Yes, yes." He gave a thumbs up and praised, "You are such a nice person!"
"It feels like I'm being a nice guy." I sighed, picked up the cup and took a sip.
The soft and sticky pearls, along with the rich taste of brown sugar, enter the mouth together. The bartender's recommendation was right, this drink tastes really good!
It’s a pity that I can’t touch any wine, otherwise I would definitely try how delicious the wine he mixes is. Even Fushiguro Shigeo came several times!
At this point, the buttered potatoes were brought up by the waiter first.
"Wow." Gojo Satoru said with shining eyes, "It looks delicious."
He naturally picked up the fork and was about to take the food away, but I slapped his hand rudely.
"What?" He looked at me aggrievedly, "Didn't you say you would treat me to a meal?"
"I said I'd treat you," I said, "but this is the dish I ordered first, so I have to keep the first bite for myself."
"You can only share if I take the first bite."
“Eh?” Gojo Satoru blinked, “Is there still such a rule?”
"Then you eat first." He put the fork directly in front of me, "Look, I'll feed you."
"Come on, open your mouth, ah~"
I:"........"
What a provocative expression and tone... And what's with this attitude that's like coaxing a child? I'm getting goosebumps.
"No thanks." She glanced at him, picked up a piece of potato with a fork, and said unhappily, "Please eat it yourself."
"Tsk, you're taking so long, Kiri-chan." said Gojo Satoru.
"Tsk, that's so annoying, Wu-chan." I retorted, imitating his tone.
"By the way." Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the identity document issue that Fu Heishen mentioned.
When Gojo Satoru was not out, I had been using his ID. Now that he is here, and I don't know when I can go back, it's time to get one.
"Remember to get me an ID," I said. "Now that you can work, I'm going to take a vacation and rest."
"Vacation?" Gojo Satoru was stunned. "Where are you going on vacation?"
"Let's go to Kyoto first, then Hokkaido..." I rested my chin on my hand and thought, "We'll talk about the next destination when the time comes."
Gojo Satoru was silent for a moment, then asked, "How long will you be gone?"
"Hmm... a week...? Half a month?" I thought about it, but half a month didn't seem like enough, so I just said, "Probably a month."
"........"
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I said, "Can't you just go and take a break?"
"........" Gojo Satoru still looked at me, his eyes motionless, "Kiri-chan, you said you were going on a trip, but you will come back when the time comes, right?"
"Of course I will come back." I said without hesitation, "Aren't you all still here?"
The switch to open that door lies in Gojo Satoru. No matter how much he wants to sort out his feelings, he still has to come back and solve it in the end.
"That thing's death date..." Gojo Satoru paused, then said, "It will be one month from now, the day after Christmas."
"......I will come back then." I said, "I will come back."
