Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku

It's about a fifteen-minute walk from the Metropolitan Police Main Office in the direction of Yurakucho. There is a very prosperous barbecue restaurant called "Sato" there.

The BBQ restaurant is not big, but manager Sato manages the BBQ restaurant in an orderly manner.

Riding Long Tianyu's motorcycle, Haruka directed him to drive all the way here. After entering the store, store manager Sato said with a smile: "Hey, Haruka, we're here to eat barbecue again. This time I brought my friends."

"Hehe, it always feels so boring to eat alone." Haruka smiled broadly, and then started ordering: "Manager, please order one of the signature dishes of dangerous rabbit first, two plates of salt-roasted beef tongue, and one

A plate of sirloin and a glass of draft beer. Tianyu, what about you?"

"Dangerous rabbit meat? It sounds very white." Long Tianyu said with a confused look on his face.

"This is the restaurant's signature dish, a must-order dish for diners," Haruka explained.

"Then, let's start with a piece of dangerous rabbit, a piece of beef tongue, a piece of beef belly, and then a plate of lettuce." Long Tianyu ordered while looking at the menu posted on the wall.

Manager Sato nodded, wrote down the dishes they ordered, and then continued to ask: "Okay. Excuse me, guest, what would you like to drink?"

"Uh... Then let's have a drink..."

Before Long Tianyu could say the word "tea", Yaoxiang patted Long Tianyu's back hard and laughed loudly: "How can you eat barbecue without drinking wine? Give me some wine, you promised to accompany me."

"

Long Tianyu's body was shaken by Haruka's slaps. He smiled helplessly and said to store manager Sato: "Then please have a draft beer."

"Okay. The food will be served soon." Manager Sato smiled at the two of them, and then shouted to his son who was fishing in the kitchen: "Hey, Taro, stop listening to the music now and come here to help."

"I know!" A boy of about ten years old took off his headphones and replied. Then the boy saw Haruka and immediately ran forward happily and said with a smile: "Sister Haruka, I have always had the album you gave me.

Listen, it sounds great."

Hearing this, Haruka touched the boy's head and said proudly: "Of course, there will be a new album in a while. Okay, go to work."

"Yes~ It's true. Dad is really stingy. I'm only nine years old and I have to come to the store to help..."

"Taro is a man, right? If he is a man, of course he has to help his parents." Haruka said with a smile.

"Um!"

Hearing this, Taro nodded and immediately went to help store manager Sato.

Sitting next to the window in the hall, after the boss had brought all the things they ordered, before Long Tianyu could thank him again, Yaoxiang picked up a glass of draft beer brought by the waiter and poured it into a "ton ton ton".

Go down.

"Hiccup~haha~it feels so good! This store you found is really good~" The black-haired Haruka drank the draft beer in one gulp. She tore off a rabbit leg of dangerous rabbit meat and gnawed it boldly.

"Huh? Aren't you going to drink?" Haruka said vaguely with a roasted rabbit leg in her mouth.

"No, no. I just want to wait for the beef tongue to be roasted before drinking it with wine. It's almost perfect now." Long Tianyu smiled, he picked up a piece of roasted beef tongue and stuffed it into his mouth, and then imitated Yaoxiang.

He drank the draft beer in one gulp.

Long Tianyu doesn't like drinking very much, but he won't refuse when having dinner with friends. He will drink as much as his friends offer him. So far, Long Tianyu has never been drunk. The most serious one was when he felt a little unresponsive.

"Hahaha, that's it! This is how you drink draft beer, and you unexpectedly share my appetite." Haruka said with a laugh, and then called the waiter to order a few more glasses of wine.

"Don't just eat beef tongue, try this dangerous rabbit meat. Although it looks a bit white, it tastes surprisingly good. It's the best match with draft beer!"

"This looks really white~" Long Tianyu raised his eyebrows, then smiled and tore off a rabbit leg and tasted it. Not to mention, it was really delicious. The man in front of him was a crazy person.

The wild girl, Long Tianyu, didn't care about the gentleman's demeanor and just started to chew it.

The signature dish of Sato Yakiniku Restaurant - Dangerous Rabbit. Although it looks like a completely roasted rabbit and it tastes like YaBee, it is not. The reason why it looks black is because during the cooking process

The skin of the rabbit is continuously brushed with a special sauce made with squid ink, black pepper and other seasonings, so the finished product will look charred and shiny.

Seeing Long Tianyu chewing the rabbit meat with relish, Yaoxiang wiped his lips that were dyed black and said with a smile: "Yes, as expected, barbecue and other things have to be eaten in big mouths to make them taste better."

"By the way, Yaoxiang, are you a regular customer of this store?" Long Tianyu asked while eating barbecue and drinking wine.

"Well, since I discovered this store last month, I've been here probably a dozen times now." Haruka answered after drinking another glass of wine, a trace of blush appearing on her face.

"You're so diligent! But this dangerous rabbit meat is really delicious. It's really addictive when paired with wine. Is there really no poppy in it?" With the stimulation of alcohol, Long Tianyu also relaxed a lot.

, and even started a joke.

"I don't know~ How about I ask?" Haruka grinned, then she turned to look at Manager Sato, raised her glass and asked: "Uncle Sato, is this roasted rabbit with poppy added?"

It’s addictive~”

"How is that possible! This is my family's unique secret recipe. However, the best match for dangerous rabbit meat is not just draft beer, but our special oolong tea. Do you want to try it?" Manager Sato saw that the two of them were obviously drunk.

, couldn’t help but smile and shook his head and said: “It’s great to be young.”

"Okay, okay!" Haruka smiled and nodded.

"Ah, I almost forgot. Thank you so much for taking me to the hospital today."

"I just happened to pass by there when I was exercising. It's a big help. You're welcome. If you want to thank me, just drink with me. I've been a bit stressed recently." Haruka waved her hand and replied with a smile.

"Are you stressed?" Long Tianyu glanced at Yaoxiang with some confusion. He didn't expect that a carefree girl like her would also feel stressed.

"Well, it's a boring thing at work. My personality is not suitable for that job, so I have accumulated a lot of pressure." Haruka obviously didn't want to talk more about her work. She immediately changed the subject and asked: "By the way

What does Tianyu do? How could he faint in a place like that?"

"Me? I'm just an ordinary person working in a coffee shop. At most, I'm a little handsome." Long Tianyu gave a thumbs up, grinning with a hearty smile, and then continued: "As for why I fainted there

...Actually, it’s because of the unconfirmed life forms that have been reported on TV recently.”

"Unconfirmed life form?" Yaoxiang raised his eyebrows, drank another glass of wine, and waited for Long Tianyu's next words.

"Yes. Today I was going to the hospital for a physical examination, and then I met Unidentified Life Form No. 6 on the way back... In the end, Kuuga and No. 4 saved me."

"That's right, then No. 4 and Kuuga are indeed human partners? By the way, what kind of existence do you think those two cool guys are like?"

"Do you think they are cool? Mingming and Unconfirmed look similar..."

Before Long Tianyu finished speaking, Haruka reached out and slapped Long Tianyu's shoulder hard, saying with a serious expression: "No. 4 and Sora I are protecting everyone, right?"

"yes."

"Even if you become a monster, you still have to protect humanity. Don't you think such a guy is very handsome? Just like the urban legend Kamen Rider that once appeared, he is a cybernetic of an evil organization but fights for humanity. There is nothing

They are more handsome than others, so don’t say they are scary or anything like that.”

After saying that, Yaoxiang patted Long Tianyu on the shoulder again, and then she picked up the special oolong tea that had just been served, and started eating and drinking the rabbit meat and oolong tea.

Looking at the black handprints on his shoulders, Long Tianyu felt helpless and moved at the same time. In the end, he just picked up the oolong tea and smiled helplessly, 'Thank you, Haruka.'

The burnt smell that entered his nose brought Long Tianyu back to his senses. He raised his head and found that Yaoxiang had already fallen asleep on the dining table.

"Hey, hey, wake up! Why did you fall asleep... What should I do..." Unable to wake him up, Long Tianyu scratched his head helplessly, thinking about how to deal with Yaoxiang.

While thinking about it, Long Tianyu drank endless amounts of oolong tea. After he finished, Long Tianyu smacked his lips, frowned and said: "Boss, this tastes wrong, isn't it? This is wine, but it's mixed with wine."

whisky!"

"Oh~ I actually tasted it. Our special oolong tea is vodka mixed with whiskey~ Look, it can be lit~" Store manager Sato said, then walked to the two of them and lit Haruka's cup of oolong tea with a lighter.

“This is not the oolong tea I know at all!”

"Don't pay attention to these details. You can see that the colors are the same anyway. But I really can't tell. You have such a good drinking capacity. Come on~" Boss Sato smiled and patted Long Tianyu on the shoulder. He turned around and looked

A drunken Yaoxiang grinned and gave Long Tianyu a thumbs up.

"Huh... Boss, check out." Long Tianyu sighed feebly. Long Tianyu didn't bother to explain anything to the store manager. He just wanted to settle the bill quickly and settle Yaoxiang.

"A total of 4,500 yen in total."
