The stall started to be closed the next day, and Sadatsuka Nao, who was helping Fujiwara Bunta, was busy cleaning the dishes. The stoner who was tossing stinky tofu in a fancy way didn't seem to have changed much, and he still had time to help Sadatsuka Nao make dipping sauce.
"Ah~~ I'm so exhausted. Is it so tiring after a good business?" Sadatsuka Nao knocked on her shoulder.
"Indeed. The amount of passengers on this street has exceeded my imagination. There are not enough manpower." Shi Ke tilted his neck and made a clicking sound.
"How about I stop the other dishes and focus on stinky tofu?" Fujiwara Bunta pointed to the menu, "I can't bear the traffic. I haven't seen so many customers in years. If you two leave, Am I going to die from exhaustion?"
"How about we recruit a few people? Boss." Shi Ke said.
"Don't mention it, there's no one on this broken street who can work with peace of mind." The boss shook his head.
"You can find people from other places." Sadatsuka Nao said.
"Hehehe...Girl, if you weren't assigned here by the academy, what would you be willing to do here?"
"I won't do it! It's too unsafe with hooligans all over the street." Sadatsuka Nao expressed her disgust, (??|||).
"Others think so too. Of course, except for some bold people." After Fujiwara Bunta finished speaking, he looked at Shi Ke.
Shi Ke blinked, (?_?), "Boss, I'm a man, they shouldn't be so harsh."
"Well, it's true. They're here, and you're not sure who will have sex with them."
"I'm not that perverted. Boss, why don't you try to bring in some other bosses on this street? They should be quite reliable, right?" Shi Ke thought of some clearance routes, (?ω?).
"...Have you ever seen a businessman who casually cooperates with his competitors? I can't bear to cooperate with those old fritters who can survive on this street. I believe it too much. Maybe, I Even after being sold by them, I helped them count the money."
"But there are at least one or two people you can believe, right?"
"In that case, Sakamoto is a good choice. He is very conscientious. However, his wife will not agree to cooperate with me casually."
"Uncle Sakamoto~ This is a good choice~ Why don't you agree? Why are there so many henpecked people in Japan where machismo is so serious?"
"Kid, that's not called fear, that's called love. You'll understand after you fall in love." Fujiwara Bunta said earnestly.
"Let's get to the point, why don't you agree? What have you done to your heart's content?" Shi Ke changed the topic and resolutely refused to accept this trick, which was a heart-breaking blow.
Fujiwara Bunta's old face suddenly turned red, ≡￣﹏￣≡.
"Hey~ I was really fooled! Tell me, maybe I can solve it." Shi Ke scratched his head, with a gossipy look on his face (?ω?).
"...Okay. Let me tell you!" Fujiwara Bunta hesitated for a while and decided to confess, "You should also know that they have a son who wants to join the underworld."
"Yeah. I heard it from Uncle Sakamoto the night before yesterday."
"I accidentally taught that kid," Fujiwara Bunta said, covering his face.
"What?"
"I was a gangster driver when I was young, and my leg was damaged in a car accident during a gang fight." Bunta Fujiwara patted his prosthetic leg.
"Don't tell me that you retired and opened a shop here. Then, Uncle Sakamoto's son came to play, and you told him your glorious deeds. From then on, this kid was obsessed with becoming a gangster for excitement."
"Yeah...basically correct."
"You are so wicked!!! Uncle Sakamoto probably doesn't know yet, right? If he finds out, if he doesn't hack you to death, I will take your surname!!" Shi Ke complained helplessly.
"He knew. For this reason, he chased me and hacked me for nearly a month. He didn't dare to hack me to death, so he hit me on the head with the back of his knife."
"Okay! You two are weird, let's do it!" Shi Ke was stunned, _(:з」∠)_.
"Shike-kun, you just said you took his surname without being hacked to death." Sadatsuka Nao said.
"...I'm just being shameless, can't I?" Shi Ke said confidently, (??Д?)?.
"Pretend I didn't say it." This kind of bulletproof face convinced Sadatsuka Nao.
"Getting back to the subject, if I can solve their son's problem, they will agree, right?" Shi Ke said.
"Yes. However, that kid is extremely stubborn and refuses to accept hard or soft words. If you try to convince him by force, it will be useless. That kid will put a knife on his neck and force him to death." Fujiwara Bunta felt that he could see Shi Ke's thoughts.
"I don't like fighting. I'm better at convincing people with virtue. I have a way to turn him into a gangster that everyone loves." Shi Ke said mysteriously.
"Love among people and the underworld are two different directions. It's impossible." Fujiwara Bunta said.
"No, no, no, it may not be possible for others, but I can. Just help me find them."
"Stop talking."
"I'm not kidding. Just tell them that if you help them for five days, I will let their son be a new man. Besides, if you give it a try, they won't suffer a loss. Even if they suffer a loss, how much will they lose?" Shi Ke shook his head and opened his mouth. five fingers.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes. Go quickly. I'll take a nap as I have to work at night." Shi Ke pointed outside the shack.
"...Okay. I'll look for him, but you should at least make that kid change for the better!"
"No problem. Maybe he will become the pride of your street. But don't come back too early. Let me sleep a little longer. I haven't slept for two days and two nights. I have dark circles under my eyes. At least I need to Sleep for five or six hours." Shi Ke had already started brushing his teeth, washing his face and buying a new sleeping bag.
"I got it. I'll just go to Sakamoto's house for a meal. It's okay even if I don't open today. I made a lot of money yesterday." Fujiwara Bunta waved his hand and walked out of the shack.
"..., considering this is really beneficial." Shi Ke sighed.
"Shike-kun..." Sadatsuka Nao timidly raised her little hand.
"What for?"
"Where should I sleep? I haven't thought about how to sleep here!" Sadatsuka Nao blushed, (???_?|||||).
"I'll give you the sleeping bag. I can just deal with it casually." Shi Ke wiped his face, lined up the iron table, wiped it clean, lay on the table and covered it with the coat he brought to sleep.
"Isn't it cold? Why don't you put something on your back?"
"An artifact to fight the cold, baby warmers." Shi Ke lifted up a corner of his coat and covered it with baby warmers.
"You use so much... you are really not afraid of heat stroke~~ I feel hot just looking at it."
"As a chef, there's no way I'm afraid of heat. A cold won't be good. Go to sleep, go to sleep." After Shi Ke finished speaking, he started snoring, (|3[▓▓].
"..., I fell asleep so quickly..." Sadatsuka Nao tilted her head.
