Chapter 88 True Six-Hanging Flower
Chapter 88
"...I never thought that Squalo, who was so loud and annoying when he was arguing, was actually such a thoughtful person in private."
"I'm so sorry, I'm not who you thought I was."
Hearing the helplessness in the other person's words, Kurokawa Kaoru rolled his eyes and pointed at the omurice sign not far away and said, "Since XANXUS didn't ask me to make him steak, then don't rush back. Just accompany me to eat omurice."
"ha?"
Omurice? Sperbi Squaro was a little confused: "Why do you like eating something so sticky?"
“Omurice is the most delicious thing in the world.”
"I don't know where you came to this conclusion, but sashimi is the best."
"You can actually swallow something so fishy."
When his favorite thing was criticized, Sperbi Squaro suddenly became excited: "After all, you are Japanese, and yet you are not interested in sashimi."
"Isn't this normal? I'm not a savage, why should I eat raw food?"
"Then you shouldn't eat your steak medium-rare, it should be well-done."
“Beef and fish are different!”
“It’s all the same to me.”
“…”
There's no way to explain this guy to her! Kurokawa Kaoru thought angrily.
Because of Sperbi Squalo's words, Kurokawa Kaoru had originally thought about sharing his favorite omelet rice with someone and continuing the previous conversation. He hadn't expected the other person to be so tasteless, and he immediately lost interest in chatting with him.
"I don't care what you think. I'm going to eat omurice."
"just."
Sbelby Squaro snorted coldly: "I remembered there is a good Japanese restaurant nearby. I want to go there to eat sashimi."
After saying this, the two of them looked at each other, turned around and walked in opposite directions.
However, Sberby Squalo still remembered that he had to bring Kurokawa Kaoru back to Varian, so he agreed with them where to meet in an hour, and then walked towards the Japanese restaurant he had heard of.
Looking at the other person's back, Kurokawa Kaoru's expression changed slightly, and then he walked into the store with the omelet rice sign.
"welcome."
The owner of the store was a gentle-looking woman. Seeing that he was alone, she took him to a seat near the window and placed the menu on the table in front of Kurokawa Kaoru.
"I wonder what you want to eat?"
"Two omurice."
Almost the moment she finished speaking, Kurokawa Kaoru spoke.
Hearing his voice, the boss was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Two servings of omurice, right? Please wait a moment, I'll have the kitchen prepare it right away."
"Trouble."
At this time, it was still some time before the workers got off work, so there were few people in the store. Since there was nothing to do, Kurokawa Kaoru curled up on the sofa behind him, closed his eyes, and tried to relax for a while.
And just as he closed his eyes, the wind chimes at the door suddenly rang, followed by the sound of several people's footsteps.
"It's all because you came out so late that the monjayaki shop I wanted to go to was already full."
"It's all about eating, so what's the difference between omurice and monjayaki?"
"You really don't understand. Monjayaki is monjayaki, and omurice is omurice. These two are not the same thing."
That's right.
Kurokawa Kaoru nodded.
Although he doesn't think monjayaki is better than omurice, Kurokawa Kaoru agrees with this statement.
Hearing their voices, the owner of the store came over, took out the menu and asked them what they wanted to eat, and then took them to a place not far from Kurokawa Kaoru.
"Looks like I can only eat omurice."
The girl who spoke first sighed and complained unhappily, "If you go out so late next time, I'm going to kill you."
"Lily of the valley."
After her, a gentle male voice rang out, "Don't get angry over something as trivial as this. Besides, Shi Liu is right. It's just a meal. Whether it's monjayaki or omurice, it doesn't matter which one you choose."
"Kikyo...you and Pomegranate should die together."
"You can only say such things, but in reality, you can't even touch a finger of mine."
Hearing her voice, the other man sneered: "It's clear that Kikyo paid for the meal. What are you talking about here, a penniless guy?"
"you!"
Feeling her sore spot was touched, the girl named Suzuran snorted coldly. No one knew what she was thinking about, but she left her seat and sat down in front of Kurokawa Kaoru.
"What do you think?"
Kurokawa Kaoru: ...
How did it get involved with me?
Just as Kurokawa Kaoru was struggling with whether to talk to the other party, the girl in front of him suddenly got angry and slapped the table: "Hey, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
What a hassle...
Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself.
Feeling genuinely annoyed by the girl's appearance, Kurokawa Kaoru opened his eyes and saw the girl in front of him at a glance - long blue hair, wearing a black dress. If Kudo Shinichi was here, he would probably think that the other party was a member of the winery.
Amused by his own imagination, Kurokawa Kaoru shook his head and his eyes fell on the other person.
"What do you want to ask?"
"you……"
Unexpectedly, Kurokawa Kaoru was so disrespectful to her. Linglan gritted her teeth and said, "You should have heard what we said just now, right? What do you think?"
Kurokawa Kaoru blinked and said, "As for what you said, monjayaki is monjayaki and omurice is omurice, and that these two are not the same thing, I agree."
"I just know..."
"But compared to monjayaki, omurice is definitely more delicious."
"ha?"
Suzuran raised her voice and looked at him in disbelief. "Do you understand the charm of monjayaki? It's the most delicious thing in the world."
"I'm very sorry, but I don't agree with your point of view."
"I'm saying, do you understand?"
"Lily of the valley."
The man named Kikyo sighed and took two steps forward to stand in front of Kurokawa Kaoru. "Don't sit here. You'll cause trouble for other guests."
"It's because you all don't understand the charm of Monjayaki."
“Everyone has the right to like what they like. Just because you like monjayaki doesn’t mean everyone in the world will like it.”
Seeing the man's face flushed red, as if he was choked and couldn't speak, Kikyo sighed and turned to look at Kurokawa Kaoru: "I'm very sorry, Suzuran is just like this. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."
"nothing."
Kurokawa Kaoru's expression changed slightly: "It's just a disagreement, it won't cause me any trouble."
Hearing what Kurokawa Kaoru said, Kikyo breathed a sigh of relief and her eyes fell on Kurokawa Kaoru: "I'm relieved that you think so."
At this point, his expression paused, and then he continued: "My name is Kikyo, and I'm glad to meet you here."
"Kurokawa."
Being touched by the gaze, Kurokawa Kaoru smiled and said, "My name is Kurokawa Tsuki."
"Since we meet here, and Kurokawa is alone, do you want to eat with us?"
"That's not necessary."
After rejecting Kikyo's tablemate's invitation, seeing the confusion on his face, Kurokawa Kaoru lowered his eyes, his emotions surging in his eyes: "I'm more accustomed to eating alone, and besides... my companions will come to find me in a while."
"So you came here with other people?"
Kikyo originally wanted to invite Kurokawa Kaoru to join them only because of Suzuran. Now that the other party had said so, he didn't know what to say. He grabbed Suzuran's collar and brought her back to their table.
After a while, Kurokawa Kaoru's two servings of omelet rice were served. He smiled and said thank you to the boss. He narrowed his eyes and quietly enjoyed his food.
Is it worth saying that it's ten years later? I always feel that the omurice tastes better than those restaurants made ten years ago. Thinking of this, Kurokawa Kaoru shrank his fingers and took a big, satisfied bite.
Not long after, the food ordered by Kikyo and the others was brought in. Unlike Kurokawa Kaoru, who was a "rich eater", they finished their food quickly and were about to leave.
Considering that she had spoken to Kurokawa Kaoru before, Kikyo walked to Kurokawa Kaoru's table before leaving and said softly: "Although it's a pity, we have some things to do next, so we have to leave first."
Ignoring Suzuran behind her complaining about why she had to talk so much to Kurokawa Kaoru, Kikyo raised the corners of her lips, her gaze like a water snake in a swamp, entwining sinisterly with Kurokawa Kaoru: "Next time if I have the chance to meet him, I hope to eat omurice with Kurokawa."
"That's what I thought."
Kurokawa Kaoru laughed, his voice low: "Then we'll meet again someday."
"goodbye."
After saying this, Kikyo and the others left.
Not long after they left, Sbelbi Squalo walked in from outside. Seeing the boy by the window, he raised his eyebrows and sat down opposite Kurokawa Kaoru without any hesitation.
"You eat too slowly."
"There's nothing much to say to people like you who don't know how to enjoy delicious food."
He stuffed the last bite of omurice into his mouth, feeling the comfort in his stomach, his eyes narrowed, and he leaned back in satisfaction.
"It would be nice if I could eat omurice every day."
"...You really don't mind being boring."
“I never get tired of eating something I like every day.”
"That's true."
Sbelbi Squalo snorted, his eyes falling on Kurokawa Kaoru: "So? I saw you outside the window just now, why did you gesture to me and make me wait until now to come in?"
"After all, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
He reached out and called the boss to have two cups of coffee brought. After making sure that no one around could hear them, Kurokawa Kaoru let out a long sigh and continued, "Just before you came, I saw a few interesting people in the store."
"Although their ages are unclear, they are wearing the same clothes with strange flower petals printed on their shoulders, and... there are six of them."
Six people? Sperbi Squaro's eyes widened as he suddenly looked at the other person.
"you mean……"
"Don't you think it's interesting?"
Meeting the other person's gaze, Kurokawa Kaoru laughed and continued in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "The number of people is exactly the same as the real six hanging flowers you mentioned."
TBC.
