I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

"Really, the promised sea of ​​stars, but it almost ended with you entering the police station for 'commodity obscenity'?!"

After a while of confusion, the crowd dragged Sousuke Araki out of the "Suruga House" with a face of "no regrets in this life".

"Idiot, I shouldn't have promised you such a 'men's party'..."

Fujiwara Takumi, who fell at the end, was still nodding and apologizing to the dark-faced clerk.

Three minutes later.

"Let us leave behind the unbearable past..."

After beating Sousuke Araki with the crowd, Kengo Yamada straightened his exaggerated and gorgeous suit, and shouted the slogan that made everyone's eyes shine and put aside their previous suspicions: "The intersection of fate has been completed, the journey that truly belongs to men, This is just the beginning!"

"No, that's right, if you delay the business, you will be in trouble."

"Well, let me just say it first, I just go with you because I have no choice but to go with you..."

"Hmph, stop pretending, from the moment you met us, your soul has already fallen into hell!"

The four of them arranged their clothes, and walked away quickly in a certain direction with sacred and solemn expressions.

"What the hell are these brats planning to do... Could it be that they discovered the old man's whereabouts, so they deliberately set off smoke bombs to cover it up?"

"Impossible, the trailing technology I have honed for more than 30 years on the major subway lines in Tokyo is perfect!"

Hiroshi Toda, who was still puzzled, struggled for a while, but still displayed his flexible positioning, and followed him unwillingly.

"It's hard to follow here, even if I accompany you to the end tonight, I will expose your secret!"

...

"Um?"

Ten minutes later, Sousuke Araki and his entourage, with flushed faces and twinkling eyes, walked up a narrow corridor to a shop on the second floor under the eyes of Hiroshi Tsuneda.

"Accidentally ordinary..."

Hiroshi Toda's suspicious eyes glanced back and forth at the narrow door, the old stairs, and the tacky signboard with the words "Ryukyu Izakaya" printed on it, and gradually turned into disappointment...

"'Okinawa style' izakaya?!"

No matter how you look at it, this is just an "Okinawa style" seafood izakaya that is very common in Japan.

Okinawa County, located at the southernmost tip of Japan, was called the Ryukyu Kingdom in ancient times, so Okinawa was also called "Ryukyu" or "South Country".

This kind of izakaya with regional characteristics of Okinawa features fresh and cheap seafood. It was also popular in Japan for a while...

However, with the development of logistics and transportation, the transparency of seafood prices, and the homogenization of dishes, every izakaya can eat seafood that is not too bad, so it has long lost its competitive advantage.

"Tsk, what a dilapidated decoration, the last time I came to this dilapidated izakaya was more than ten years ago, right?"

Walking up the narrow escalator to the second floor, the first thing that comes into Hiroshi Toda's sight is the hall decorated with yellowed wooden boards and thatch, full of ocean atmosphere.

"Where are these guys...so that's the case, did they enter the box to deceive others?"

Scanning back and forth in the tatami hall with eight low tables arranged neatly, Hiroshi Tsuneda did not find Sousuke Araki and his party.

"Could it be that this place is actually some kind of hidden trading place for 'underground exorcism materials'?"

"Waiter, please, help us order..."

Through the unclosed door crack in the rear corridor, he heard Araki Sousuke's iconic loud voice from one of the tatami rooms.

"Welcome, who are you, Mr....?"

At the same time, a pleasant voice pulled Toda Hiroshi's sight back.

"That, that...you, this is..."

Appearing in front of him was a young female Communist Party member with a "business smile".

"Ahem... One, that, can I sit over there?"

"Of course... Please sit down and have a cup of tea and read the menu. I will order for you later."

In order to keep himself as low-key as possible, Hiroshi Tsuneda coughed with a reddish complexion, took off his hat and sunglasses, and sat stiffly at the table where Sousuke Araki was most convenient to observe the private room.

"I'm careless... This seemingly inconspicuous store is really unfathomable..."

After watching the waiter's swaying back with scorching eyes, he picked up the teacup at the side and used warm tea to soothe his shaking mind.

Because, whether it is the waiter who just left or the waiters who are constantly shuttling in the store, they are all young women with strong bodies, fair skin and beautiful skin.

"Although it is true that 'Ryukyu Country' is written on the door, the fact that these waiters are extremely frugal in clothing materials really makes people very concerned!"

The most important thing is that they only wear "three-point bikinis" with very little fabric!

At this moment, Hiroshi Toda felt as if he had come to the white and greasy beach of Okinawa, feeling the scorching sun and sea breeze in summer.

"Beauty, please, give me this row, this row, and this row on the menu..."

"Is it all... ok, ok. 』

"Ahahahaha, it's so cool, I've wanted to try ordering like this for a long time! 』

At the same time, a waiter pushed the door out of the box where Araki Sousuke and others were, and seemed to have finished ordering.

"These guys, acting serious, turned out to be just here to eat and drink..."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hiroshi Tokata quickly picked up the menu to cover his face, and carefully peeked at the situation in the box.

In the small tatami room, Sosuke Araki, Takumi Fujiwara, Kengo Yamada, and Rikuto Atsukai were sitting around a square table expectantly.

"Hello, guest, have you figured out what to eat today?"

At the same time, the waitress went back and forth, knelt by the side of the table with a smile, and asked softly.

"This, this is G..."

Hiroshi Toda narrowed his eyes reflexively, and was instantly attracted by the magnificent sea and the deep Mariana Trench in front of him...

"Well, G what?"

"That, that, I mean, a special seafood G set meal, and a small pot of sake... Wait, let me see..."

Covering his mouth and coughing lightly, he deftly procrastinated the "watching time" with his seemingly tangled gesture of ordering food.

"Ahem, yes, yes, and that..."

In the private room, Sosuke Araki suddenly made a nervous voice, and stopped the waiter who had retreated to the door: "The one that is not on the menu... Omakase Juice... Can I have four servings first, please?" 』

『Okay, four servings of Omakase Juice, can I serve it last? 』

Hearing his "additional order", the waitress smiled ambiguously, and then closed the door and left under the scorching gaze of several people.

...

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

Reminiscing about the weird words Araki Sousuke repeatedly mentioned, combined with the other party's ambiguous expression, Hiroshi Tsuneda felt that he had grasped the key point, and his eyes became extremely sharp: "Juice...juice...I Got it, this is a code word! Omakase is a prefix, and Juice is a specific liquid material to be referred to..."

"So just say the code, and you can trade some kind of designated spirit removal materials in the izakaya? It's really a clever technique!"

There is still no open market for the transactions of various spirit removal materials such as talisman paper, consecrated objects, resentful objects, ghost remains, natural spiritual objects, etc.

In order to hide their secrets and ensure the safety of the transaction process, the spirit removers conduct transactions in private according to the connection and tacit understanding passed down for thousands of years.

Because of being rejected by the traditional spirit-killing forces, Tsuneda Hiroshi, who only stepped into this industry ten years ago and is the vice president of the Spirit-killing Association, still has no chance to contact him.

But now, the box in front of him seemed to have turned into an ancient door, opening a gap towards him.

"Guest? Do you need anything else?"

The bikini waiter half kneeling in front of him asked softly, waking up Hiroshi Tsuneda from the complicated flow of information.

"Ahem, sorry, I'm a little confused..."

Coughing twice, he imitated Araki Sousuke's tone, and added skillfully, "Just those just now, plus an 'Omakase Juice not on the menu', thank you."

"Okay, add an Omakase Juice, let's serve it last."

"no problem, thank you."

After closing the menu, Hiroshi Tsuneda looked expectantly at the seductive back of the waiter leaving.

"What exactly is the 'goods' that will be brought over later..."

"Maybe it's the most critical material in the 'Liquid Eliminator'?" 』

"Excuse me, the 'Top Crab Three Eats' ordered by some guests is here, please take it slowly."

After a while, six or seven bikini girl waiters entered the inner box one after another, carrying large and small dishes with difficulty.

"Damn it, these guys who don't shoulder the burden of the family, relying on the huge bonus just now, unexpectedly ordered such an expensive dish..."

"Wait a minute, this crab is actually a high-end product with a 'ring'?!"

Seeing the huge sea crabs in the hands of the waiter, the veins on the back of Hiroshi Toda's hand holding the teacup burst.

As the saying goes, when the autumn wind blows, the feet of crabs itch, when chrysanthemums bloom, and crabs come.

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

This izakaya's seasonal "three top crabs" actually selected Hokkaido Sapporo King Crab, Soya Hairy Crab and Tottori Matsuba Crab, known as the "Three Famous Crabs in Japan", and supplemented with ingredients that can release the original flavor of the ingredients to the extreme. The classic eating method of "Sukiyaki + Sashimi + Steam".

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 Sousuke's 50 million yen mission bonus in one go, it's because this freak stepped on countless earth-bound spirits, ghosts and gods, and grudges all the way to get this record-breaking amount.

If a veteran exorcist like Hiroshi Toda didn’t have the extra annual salary as the vice president, he might have worked diligently on thin ice for ten years, but he might not be able to accumulate this number.

Not to mention, even if Hiroshi Changtian was given this bonus, he wouldn't dare to sit here and order "top crab three meals" in a leisurely manner.

As a middle-aged exorcist who may belch at any time, his wife runs away with insurance money and pork, and his daughter calls someone else's father, his priority when he has money will only be to buy sufficient financial products for his family And insurance as a life reserve, and then try to settle the 20-year house loan and the 5-year car loan...

"My guest, the 'Special Seafood G Set Menu' and sake you ordered are here, please take your time..."

Compared with the two, the small plate on the table of Hiroshi Toda is composed of oysters, scallops, sweet shrimps, tuna and small octopus. The bitterness and vicissitudes of everything in middle age.

"Hmph, young people don't know what it's like to be sad..."

Silently paying attention to the situation in the box, Hiroshi Tsuneda poured a glass of sake and raised it to his lips depressedly...

"Dear guests, the 'A5 Grade 28-Day Aged Kobe Tajima Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki', 'Whole Bluefin Tuna Sashimi Boat' and 'Wild Matsutake Rice' that you ordered are here, please eat slowly..."

"puff!!!"

Next, more expensive dishes than the previous "Top Crab Three Eats" were served in the private room one after another, causing Hiroshi Toda to spray sake on the table.

"Oh hehehe, when I was doing 'illegal fishing' before, I caught a whole bluefin tuna, and I was very curious about what it tasted like! 』

"And this wagyu. Last time I took a long-distance passenger transport, my car was full of this stuff. It is said that it is more expensive than gold..."

『Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooish 』

"The chef's skills in this izakaya are far worse than mine. Fortunately, the quality of the ingredients themselves is excellent and the color is considered fresh. I will try it..."

"Well, although it's good to have a big meal, gentlemen, please 'don't forget your original intention and keep your mission in mind'!" Ha ha ha ha ha ha...」

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

Hearing the uproar of several people enjoying delicious food in the private room, Hiroshi Changtian swallowed the unbearable tears, tremblingly pried open the only fresh oyster in front of him, squeezed the lemon juice skillfully, and sucked in the juice first with his tongue out , and then include the oyster meat in the import...

"Ah, this salty sea breath..."

"Hmph, these brats who only admire expensive ingredients don't know the charm of fresh and long-lasting oysters, which are known as 'friends of middle-aged men' and cheap seafood!"

While he was complaining, he was chewing slowly and savoring the taste of fresh oysters, sea water and lemon juice wriggling slowly in his mouth...

『Excuse me, some guests, the four 'Omakase Juice' you ordered, can I serve you now? 』

"Oh, finally, we've been waiting... ahem, I mean, since we're all here, let's begin..."

Four waiters who seemed to have specially changed into bikinis, holding glasses, large bowls and small bowls, and several different seasonal fruits, pushed the door into the box, and then closed the door.

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

Hearing the "keyword", Hiroshi Tsuneda crawled forward, his ears turned to the box with the closed door as keenly as a cat.
