I’M Really Helpless In Tokyo

"There must be something tricky in that conversation just now!"

Recollecting the weird vocabulary repeatedly mentioned by Sosuke Araki, combined with the other's ambiguous expression that hesitated to speak, Tsukida Hiroshi felt that he had grasped the key to it, and his eyes became extremely sharp: "Juice... Juice... I Got it, this is a code! Omakase is the prefix, and Juice is to refer to a specific liquid material..."

"So when you say a secret code, can you trade certain designated spirit removal materials in an izakaya? It's really a clever technique!"

There is no open market for the trading of all kinds of spirit-eliminating materials, such as talisman paper, consecrated objects, grievances, ghost wrecks, natural spiritual objects, and so on.

In order to hide their secrets and ensure the safety of the transaction process, the spirit removers conduct private transactions in accordance with the thousand-year-old connection and tacit understanding.

Because of being repelled by traditional spirit-elimination forces, Hiroshi Tsukita, who only stepped into this business ten years ago and as the vice president of the Spirit-elimination Association, still has no chance of contact.

And now, the box in front of him seemed to be transformed into an ancient door, opening a gap to him.

"Guest? Do I need anything else?"

The Bikini waiter, who was kneeling in front of him, asked softly, awakening Tsukida Hiroshi from the complicated flow of information.

"Ahem, sorry, I'm a little bit tangled..."

With a soft cough, he imitated Araki Sosuke's tone, pretending to add skillfully: "Just those just now, plus an Omakase Juice not on the menu, thank you."

"Okay, plus an OmakaseJuice, can you finally serve it."

"no problem, thank you."

Closing the menu, Tsukida Hiroshi looked expectantly at the attractive back of the waiter leaving.

"After all, what will be the'goods' that will be brought over in a while..."

"Maybe, it's the most critical ingredient in that "Liquid Deling Secret Treasure"? 』

"Excuse me, a few guests ordered the'Top Three Crabs', please take your time."

After a while, six or seven Bikini girl waiters struggling to carry large and small dishes, one after another entered the inner box.

"Damn it, these guys who have not shouldered the burden of the family, relying on the huge bonus just now, they don't know how to place such an expensive dish..."

"Wait a minute, this crab still has high-quality'ring' goods?!"

Seeing the few giant sea crabs that the waiter was holding, the back of Tsugada Hiroshi's hand holding the teacup burst into tears.

As the saying goes, the autumn breeze makes the crab's feet itchy, the chrysanthemum blooms, and the crab smells.

Every year from October to the end of the winter, it is the most plump season for sea crabs.

The “Top Three Crabs” offered by this izakaya in season actually use Hokkaido Sapporo King Crab, Soya Hairy Crab, and Tottori Matsuba Crab, which are known as the “Three Famous Crabs in Japan”. They are supplemented with the ingredients that can release the original flavor of the ingredients to the extreme. "Sukiyaki + Sashimi + Steam" classic way of eating.

Even in the "Okinawa-style" izakaya known for its affordable prices, the price of this one is at least 150,000 yen or more!

Don't look at Araki Sosuke's one-time payment of 50 million yen for the mission bonus, but this freak stepped on countless spirits, ghosts, and grievances all the way to get this record amount.

If a senior spirit remover like Hiroshi Tokuta does not have an additional annual salary as a vice chairman, he may be able to walk on thin ice and work diligently to remove spirits for ten years, and he may not be able to accumulate this number.

Not to mention, even if he gave the bonus to Chang Tian Hiroshi, he did not dare to sit here and enjoy the "three top crabs".

As a middle-aged spirit exterminator who may belch at any time, his wife ran away with insurance money and pork, and his daughter called someone else’s father, his first priority when he has money, he will only buy sufficient financial products for his family. And insurance as a living reserve, and then try to solve the 20-year housing loan and the five-year car loan...

"This guest, your order of'special seafood G set meal' and sake are coming, please take your time..."

In comparison, the small dish placed on Hiroshi Tsukita’s table is composed of oysters, scallops, sweet shrimp, tuna, and small octopus. The bitterness and vicissitudes of the middle-aged life.

"Huh, I don't know how to feel sad when I'm young..."

Paying attention to the situation in the box silently, Hiroshi Tsuguta poured a glass of sake to his lips in depression...

"Guests, the "A5 grade 28-day mature Kobe Tajima Wagyu Sukiyaki", "Whole Bluefin Tuna Sashimi Boat" and "Wild Matsutake Rice" you ordered are here, please take your time..."

"puff!!!"

Next, the dishes that were more expensive than the previous "Top Three Crabs" were brought into the private room one after another, and Hiroshi Tsukida sprayed sake on the table.

"Oh ha ha ha, when I was doing "illegal fishing" before, I caught a whole bluefin tuna. I was curious about the taste at that time! 』

"And this wagyu. Last time I ran a long-distance passenger transport, my car's cargo box was full of this stuff. It is said to be more expensive than gold..."

"Wang Wuwu, Araki-senpai, without you, how could I have the opportunity to eat such a luxurious meal!" 』

"The craftsmanship of the chef in this home-style restaurant is far worse than mine. Fortunately, the quality of the ingredients is excellent and the color is fresh, so I can barely try it..."

"Well, although it's not bad to eat a big meal, you still please "Don't forget your original intention and keep your mission in mind"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha..."

"Assholes, assholes, are these guys going to eat millions of yen for a meal in a cheap izakaya?"

Listening to the hustle and bustle of a few people enjoying the food in the box, Hiroshi Tsugada swallowed the unsatisfactory tears from the corner of his mouth, tremblingly prying open the only live oyster in front of him, skillfully squeezing lemon juice, sticking out his tongue and inhaling the juice first , And then import the oyster meat...

"Ah, this salty sea breath..."

"Hmph, these stinky boys who only admire expensive ingredients don't know the fresh and lasting charm of oysters, the cheap seafood known as ‘friends of middle-aged men’!"

While he complained, while chewing slowly, savoring the taste of fresh oysters, sea water and lemon juice slowly creeping in his mouth...

"Excuse me, several guests, the four ‘Omakase Juice’ you ordered, can I serve you now? 』

"Oh, finally, we can't wait... ahem, I mean, since it's all here, let's start..."

The four waiters who seemed to have changed into a Bikini, holding glasses, large bowls and small bowls, and several different seasonal fruits, pushed the door into the box and closed the door again.

"Finally, it's time to start trading!"

Hearing the "keywords", Hiroshi Tsugada crawled forward, turning his ears to the closed box like cats.
