Oil stains splashed on the iron plate, bringing an overflowing fragrance.
Horii holds two shovels and skillfully stir-fries vegetable pancakes. This skillful appearance coupled with his fat figure makes him look too much like a chef. It is impossible to tell that he is a genius scientist who is among the best in TPC in terms of IQ and scientific research ability.
.
While stir-frying, Horii said enthusiastically: "This store may not be very good, but the vegetables are of good quality, and even the seasonings are very traditional Osaka, so we can make authentic Osaka food."
Burn."
Maya, who was sitting in the back, glanced around. This store was not shabby, but it had nothing to do with luxury. Most of the customers were working-class workers. They didn't want to go to an izakaya and get drunk, so they came to a quiet shop like this.
Have a drink, or be a resident nearby.
After just scanning around, Maya withdrew her attention and saw Chizuru opposite. She was looking at the busy Horii with a smile on her face. She didn't think it was so 'shabby' and not luxurious.
Whether there are any shameful or other emotions on a local date, dinner, etc., they are all really smiling.
Eyes and hearts are filled with only him.
Peaceful and beautiful!
"That's great." Maya whispered, and she thought of the 'future' that Cheng once talked about. These two people who seemed very incompatible at first not only got married, but also had a son and a daughter. They lived a happy and happy life.
Turning his head and looking at Qianye Cheng next to him, he couldn't help but think:
What will our future be like?
Horii finally finished his Teppanyaki, cut it into four parts with two shovels, put each on the plate in front of him, picked up his chopsticks, and savored the steaming delicious food.
"It's delicious." Chiba Makoto took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Horii was not exaggerating, it was really delicious. Can you say that outstanding people can shine wherever they go?
Not to mention anything else, as far as the craftsmanship of Teppanyaki is concerned, even if Horii is no longer a scientist, if he opens a Teppanyaki restaurant, there will definitely be many customers.
"It's really good." Maya also nodded in agreement. Who said high scores are low in ability? Horii refuted this view with practical actions. It can be seen from this that he can still have excellent cooking skills despite spending all day in the laboratory.
, not because of lack of ability, but because of lack of care.
Horii became even more excited after receiving the recognition, and immediately recommended other street treasure shops, and strongly suggested that Chiba Makoto and Maya try them when they have time to appreciate the beauty of the world.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became lively. Although there was no exchange of wine and drinks, there was still lively chatting and laughter.
At this time, a passing child stopped, clenched his fists in front of him, and said courageously: "That... uncle, are you Diga?"
Everyone stopped talking and turned to look at the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. Being watched by so many adults, his face was filled with nervousness and his eyes were wandering. He didn't dare to look at anyone, but he insisted on standing there and not running away. Chiba Cheng was waiting for a response when Maya hit him with her elbow and smacked her lips to the front left. Chiba Cheng looked along and saw a little boy about ten years old lying on a chair with one eye exposed and secretly
Looking here, after realizing that Chiba Cheng and Maya were looking over, they quickly retracted their heads, but after waiting for two seconds, they couldn't help but reveal their heads again.
Chiba Cheng leaned down and was eye level with the little boy, saying: "Yes."
The gentle attitude made the little boy raise his head, spread out his clasped hands, revealing two Tiga badges, and said expectantly: "Then... can you give me a little light, just a little light?"
Click."
"Light?" Qianye Cheng was stunned. After such a long time, he had met many people who recognized him. Most of them took photos together, but the one who wanted 'Light' was still the first one.
"Well," the little boy seemed to have made some mistake. He lowered his head again, stood helpless, and said in a low voice: "I heard that if he doesn't have enough courage, Tiga will give him courage. I
...I want to be brave, so...so..."
Chizuru listened to the little boy's words and looked at Maya opposite. If she remembered correctly, these were the lyrics of a song by Chris Maya. Somehow the little boy heard it and asked Diga for it.
Courage'.
Then I saw Chiba Cheng taking the two badges, raising his hand and touching them gently. The fluorescent light flashed and then dimmed. However, such a 'magical' situation made the little boy's eyes light up and he was so excited.
Forgetting his timidity, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Chiba Cheng who was very close at hand. He wanted to reach out but didn't dare to take it.
Chiba Cheng solemnly pinned the badge on the little boy's chest and said: "My courage has been given to you, but it likes brave men. When you are brave enough to let the badge shine again, you will have nothing to lose."
I’m not afraid anymore.”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
The little boy looked at the badge on his chest with great excitement and carefully touched it. Then he thought of something and asked quickly: "Do you have the courage to do this?"
"Of course." Chiba Cheng put another badge in the boy's hand. The boy ran back extremely excitedly. As if he remembered something in the middle, he turned around, bowed to Chiba Cheng, and said
'Thank you', and then returned to his brother and handed the other badge to him as if to show off: "Look, Jian'er, Tiga has given us the light. From now on, you won't be afraid of monsters or the dark." "Really?"
"Of course it's true. I saw Diga's light with my own eyes..."
The children's conversation reached Chiba Cheng's ears, which made Chiba Cheng couldn't help but smile. For this generation of children, the monsters that accompany their childhood are indeed not pleasant memories, not only for their parents but also for others.
, it has become a common thing to scare children with monsters, it is really...
Just when he thought of this, Chiba Cheng suddenly turned his head and looked out the window. The smile on his face disappeared, leaving only a serious, even ferocious look.
The shovel in Horii's hand suddenly poked a hole in the teppanyaki. A piece of pancake picked up by Maya's chopsticks fell on the table. Although Chizuru didn't know why, he also restrained his smile and watched the change uneasily.
The three people who made faces.
Maya dropped her chopsticks and grabbed Chiba Cheng's right hand. She immediately felt that the muscles in his arm were tense, just like the nervous look when he woke up many times at night during this period. She immediately stroked it gently and said softly.
: "It's okay, it's okay."
Horii ignored the sizzling Teppanyaki and looked out the window along Chiba Makoto's field of vision. He saw only a silver moon like a hook and stars in the sky, but he knew that Chiba Makoto must have seen something.
, and it should be related to that guy who cannot even be mentioned.
Then I heard Chiba Cheng's deep voice: "A star...has arrived."
