Under the disapproving gaze of the middle-aged shop owner, the high school students followed the short-haired woman in an apron and entered this unique cafe based on the principle of come and go.
When he noticed someone entering the door, a customer who was leisurely drinking coffee in the corner was startled.
He turned around quickly, with his back to the door, and used the reflection on the glass window in front of him to quietly observe the group of people entering the door.
His movement of turning around was very timely. The high school students who were chatting and walking in did not notice the sneaky person in the corner.
Everyone's eyes quickly fell on the house in front of them.
——This is a very classic He family courtyard. There is a hearth in the middle of the tatami, and right above the hearth is a round iron pot caught from fishing. Walking through the house to the back, you can see the red, yellow and green colors in the distance.
Alternate mountains, beautiful scenery.
There were handmade wood carvings placed everywhere in the house. Jiang Xia took a few steps and suddenly found that the ghosts were gathering in a certain direction.
He also looked over there, and saw a big, plump bird squatting there quietly on a shelf in the room, with a pair of yellow eyes sometimes looking at the guests and sometimes staring at the ghosts who were watching it.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Jiang Xia stopped, other students also noticed this.
Suzuki Sonoko came next to him and took a look, making a surprised voice: "Look, there is a live eagle!"
"Eagle?" Mao Lilan looked at this strange bird, a little confused, "But it looks so cute, it doesn't look like the eagle in the cartoon... Is it an eagle or a vulture?"
"Of course it's an eagle, a kind of raptor called a chestnut-winged hawk." Hattori Heiji looked at the bird up and down:
"Don't judge a hawk by its cover - although this guy looks dull, he is not ambiguous at all when it comes to hunting. They have very high IQs and are one of the few raptors that can cooperate in hunting. Some people call them because of this."
'Sky Wolf'... It's a pity that there is only one here, so we can't see that kind of interesting scene."
Just as he was talking, someone snorted coldly from the side: "What do you mean by being stupid? Presumptuous guy! ... But what you said later is right. This old friend of mine is an excellent hunter. Even if there is no tribe,
Only by itself, it is still worthy of the title of 'Sky Wolf'."
"?" A group of people turned around and saw a middle-aged man with dark skin, thick beard, and dressed like a savage.
Hattori Heiji looked at the gloves he carried and realized something: "Grandpa, are you a falconer?"
"?" the falconer said angrily, "What grandpa? I'm only 28 years old!"
Jiang Xia: "..." He is actually one year younger than Boss Amuro... but he looks like the boss's father.
Looking at the surprised expressions of the high school students opposite, the falconer wanted to curse again for being presumptuous, but considering that this was a rare guest, he took a deep breath and swallowed it back: "You guys go and experience it first.
Pop the popcorn and wait until it gets familiar with you before you can experience the falconry activity."
…
When a group of people were chatting with the falconer.
In the lobby, the guest who was drinking coffee leisurely was no longer leisurely at this time.
He put down the cup, quietly left the hall, entered the front yard, and went straight to the middle-aged shop owner.
"You agreed to let me hide here for a while, but why are you recruiting customers?" Chizo Ogura's eyebrows drooped, and his already frowning face became even more sad. He complained to the middle-aged shop owner, "I
I know you want to make money, but the limelight is so tight right now, and so many of your peers have fallen on hard times, can’t you just keep a low profile for a few days?”
The middle-aged shop owner said irritably: "They are not here to buy goods, they are just ordinary customers. Tsk, I have even removed the website of the cafe. How did they find this place? The accent doesn't sound like locals...
These students who like to run around are really annoying."
Chizo Ogura breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other side was not a "customer" who came to buy drugs: "It's okay for ordinary customers, at least they won't attract the money... Oh, I'll hide myself first and wait for this group of people."
The guy is gone, I will come back for dinner."
The middle-aged shop owner nodded.
After Chizo Ogura walked away, he looked towards the backyard where the guests gathered and sighed silently.
"I purposely opened the store in such a wilderness, not for the sake of 'features' that can be seen everywhere - I just want those ordinary customers who like to join in the fun to retreat, so that the real 'customers' can come and go safely.
Buy their favorite medicine."
"...So which unscrupulous guy submitted an article about my store to the TV station and invited those reporters to interview it? These high school students must have come here because they saw that report."
The more he thought about it, the more headache the middle-aged shop owner felt.
Not only has his own "low-key" plan been frustrated, but the entire industry has been unlucky recently - for some reason, the Osaka police's search intensity has suddenly increased a lot.
Colleagues, big and small, some were unlucky enough to be involved in murder cases and suffered accidents, and some were caught by road inspections... After reading too many similar news, the middle-aged shop owner couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
In addition, his distant relative Chizo Ogura also came to join him. After hesitating for a while, the owner finally removed the cafe's online homepage and planned to sell the already famous store and reopen it in a low-key store.
...But who would have thought that before the store buyers came to the door, they were patronized by this group of chattering high school students.

"Although it's not threatening, it's annoying." The middle-aged shop owner sighed, "I should have driven them away if I had known, but my stupid wife actually thought that I was serious about opening the store and welcomed them in.
Already..."
"Forget it, I'm here now. This cafe has been open for a long time, and I still feel nostalgic - the last time I receive a customer, let's treat it as a beginning and an end."
With this thought in mind, he patted his face, adjusted himself, and tried to become a normal, hospitable shop owner.
…
In the backyard.
The falconer held the eagle in his arms and muttered, comforting his eagle that was a little restless for some reason.
The short-haired woman wearing an apron took out fresh ingredients, chopping vegetables at the kitchen counter, and preparing meals.
Coupled with the fresh air in the mountains, everything seems leisurely and comfortable.
Jiang Xia walked around and his eyes fell on a red and green cartoon wooden sign - it was a tourist schedule with daily activities written on it.
[13:00, popcorn experience event
13:30, the popcorn activity ends
15:00, Falconry experience activity
16:00, major falconry activity]
"It's a bit monotonous," Suzuki Sonoko whispered, "but it looks interesting."
Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye Shen nodded in agreement. They looked at their watches: "It's almost 1 o'clock, are we going to start popping popcorn?"
