I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

A series of situations that happened on the Tomei Expressway last night have been compiled into a preliminary report at 9 o'clock in the morning and placed on Ichiro Tokimoto's desk.

Combined with his understanding of Araki Sousuke, he has naturally guessed what happened.

"It's fine if you're asleep, but Hiroshi's sudden release made me come to rescue him temporarily. I was worried about how to deal with this difficult guy." 』

Tokimoto Ichiro pretended to be ignorant and gently stuffed the Muni in his hand into the opponent's hand, then turned around and left quickly like a thief.

"Hey, after rambling on and on for a long time, are you finally willing to send it to me?"

Subconsciously holding the paper in his hand, Araki Sousuke opened his eyes dimly.

"Thank you, Tokimoto..."

No way, last night not only drove a truck with broken brakes for a long distance last night, but also fought with a group of mothers-in-law until dawn. The mountain of drowsiness couldn't be stopped even the energy drinks from the convenience store.

"...Old man?!"

In the terrified eyes of everyone, Araki Sousuke, who exuded a bad breath all over his body, looked down at the "exemption" in his hand, and then the original cute "big eyes" suddenly switched to a sharp knife-like shape.

"Stomp on the sack..."

A big sinful hand tightly pressed Shimoto Ichiro's thin shoulders, dragging the faltering president who was about to leave back abruptly.

"Old man... My 'exemption', is it because the people of the association made a mistake in their work and printed it wrong?"

"Did you hear that, he actually called Chairman Shiben an 'old man'..."

"Oh heh heh, how come..."

Tokimoto Ichiro, who turned his back to him, showed a "kind" smile.

Regardless of everyone's discussion, Araki Sousuke turned the old man in front of him 180 degrees with both hands...

"Look here, is there something more..."

Ignoring the twinkling eyes of the other party, he spread out the paper in front of the other party, and put his other finger on one of the words.

"Theirs all say 'Wan Li', why is mine 'Ji Lian Li'?"

"I must have accidentally printed an extra word. Hurry up and send someone to reprint it for me... It is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the work, and I understand..."

He held his shoulder firmly, and Ichiro Tokimoto, who originally planned to forcefully walk out of the conference room pretending to be natural, couldn't move, so he could only smile and nod stiffly: "That's right, Araki-kun, your pass judgment is '仮exempt'."

"Huh?! Exemption?! Smelly old man, do you think this is a motor vehicle exemption?!"

"That...that, Araki-kun, listen to me first..."

"Listen to what you say, my uncle has worked hard for a long time, and gave me such a temporary thing?!"

Completely ignoring the "majesty of the chairman", Sousuke Araki's roar penetrated the meeting room, and even the guests who were purchasing study materials on the two floors downstairs could hear it.

"Hey, no way, after Vice-President Tokita, are you going to attack the Chairman? 』

"Vice-chairman Tokita, who was in the prime of life, was murdered by him that night and has since disappeared. He couldn't even attend the scheduled presentation ceremony. How could President Tokimoto, who is already very old, stand it..."

"This kid, you probably don't know how terrifying the samurai zombies under President Tokimoto's command are, right?" 』

...

An hour later, downstairs of the headquarters of the Spirit Eliminator Association, the Institute of Truth.

The wide corridor connects several rooms of unknown purpose.

The walls, floors, and even the doors and windows are all white.

"This decoration style is similar to that of Grandpa Mochizuki's research institute, it seems..."

Although I heard before that the offices of Mai Hanyu and Atsukai Rikuto are downstairs from the Spirit Eliminator Association, but this is the first time Araki Sousuke and Kotori Yumaumi have come here.

"Anyway, it's funded by the foundation. The old lady insists on building it according to the standards of European professional laboratories, so I can only work in a place like this kind of hospital..."

While complaining, Hou Hai Lu Dou led the two of them into a conference room.

Looking left and right, he didn't see Mai Hanyu, so he brought a few more bottles of drinks: "Let's wait here for a while, the old lady seems to have gone downstairs just now."

"Damn old man, he said that it would be good if he didn't pursue the medical expenses because of the violence against the vice president, so we need to set an 'observation period'..."

Sousuke Araki sat down, lifted his feet to the large conference table, and looked at the torn paper in his hand that said "Exorcism Exemption" with a look of disgust.

"Exemption of ghosts... Holder's name: Araki Sosuke... Allowed range of ghosts: zero"

Exemption, also known as a temporary license.

For example, in the Japanese motor vehicle exemption test, candidates need to obtain a motor vehicle exemption first and drive for a period of time before taking the test to obtain a formal exemption.

And the "Exorcism Exemption" in Zongsuke Araki's hand has the same meaning.

Before obtaining the official exorcism permission, he cannot act alone, and can only participate in the exorcism activities as an assistant to the official exorcist.

"It's okay, Araki-sensei..."

The little bird You Mayumi who was sitting on the side comforted softly: "Anyway, because of the things taught by the Galaxy Federation recently, the association has not allowed the exorcist to carry out the exorcism alone. As long as you complete the task well during this time, you will be promoted to the official rank soon. Exempted."

"Oh? That's how it is, as long as it doesn't affect me feeding that old and strong picture scroll..."

At the same time, the girl quietly pushed the lunch box in her hand in front of him.

There was a beautiful blush on the drooping cheeks: "Here, this is the bento we agreed on earlier, Mr. Araki probably hasn't had breakfast yet..."

"Wow, thank you, my stomach is already growling!"

Spending the night with those mother-in-laws, and then attending the exemption ceremony, Araki Sousuke, who was hungry with his chest pressed against his back, opened the lunch box in his hand with tears, and was instantly overwhelmed by the delicious food in front of him. Washed away without a trace.

"This... this bento!!!"

Distinct grains of rice, golden and elastic egg rolls, grilled fish that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious tempura sea old, with broccoli, carrots, kelp, tofu and other vegetarian food, bright colors and well-arranged in the bento In the box, it looks like a flower in full bloom.

Although there are no expensive ingredients, it has the elegant style of pure kaiseki cuisine, which is enough to see the girl's exquisite cooking skills and hard work.

Looking at the exquisite bento in his hand, who didn't know where to put the chopsticks, Araki Sosuke was full of praise: "If you exchange it with the school, you will definitely become the 'King of Popularity'..."

Japan's bento culture originated from rice balls used as military rations during the Warring States Period.

After the abundant and relatively peaceful Edo period, it gradually changed from a hunger-satisfying food to a pleasant delicacy, and it became more and more popular.

From the "Makinouchi Bento" eaten during the intermission of the theater, to the "Love Bento" prepared by girls for the boy they like, the "Wife Bento" prepared by housewives for their husbands at work and children who go to school, and for men and women at the shooting scene of action movies The "energy bento" and "long-lasting bento" prepared by the actors...

The bento gradually became the epitome of Japanese culture, playing an important role in various social relationships.

From kindergarten to high school, classmates will often exchange bento, and a cute bento can even make a person the "popular king" in the class. For this reason, many full-time housewives go to great lengths to make "cartoon bento" and "character bento".
