Chapter 2903-2915 [Mission Objective]
Under the disapproving gaze of the middle-aged shop owner, the high school students followed the short-haired woman in an apron into this unique coffee shop, following the principle of since they were already there.
A customer who was leisurely drinking coffee in the corner was startled when he noticed someone coming in.
He suddenly turned around, with his back to the door, and using the reflection from the glass window in front of him, quietly observed the group of people coming in.
He turned around just in time, and the high school students who were chatting as they walked in did not notice the sneaky man in the corner.
Everyone's eyes quickly fell on the house in front of them.
——This is a very classic Heshi courtyard, with a hearth in the middle of the tatami, and a round iron pot hanging from the bottom of the hearth. Walking through the house to the back, you can see the red, yellow and green mountains in the distance, with beautiful scenery.
There were handmade wood carvings placed everywhere in the room. Jiang Xia walked a few steps and suddenly found that the ghosts were all gathering in a certain direction.
He also looked over there, and saw a big, round bird squatting quietly on a shelf in the house. Its pair of yellow eyes sometimes looked at the guests, and sometimes stared at the ghosts who were watching it.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Jiang Xia stopped, the other students also noticed this side.
Suzuki Sonoko came over to him and said in surprise, "Look, there's a live eagle!"
"Eagle?" Mao Lilan looked at the 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 bird of prey called the Chestnut-winged Hawk." Hattori Heiji looked the bird up and down:
"Don't judge an eagle by its appearance. Although it looks stupid, it is very smart when it comes to hunting. It is one of the rare birds of prey that can cooperate in hunting. Some people call it the 'wolf of the sky'... It's a pity that there is only one here, so we can't see that interesting scene."
As he was talking, someone snorted coldly: "What do you mean by stupid? You are so presumptuous!... But what you said later is true. This old friend of mine is an excellent hunter. Even if he has no tribe and only himself, he still deserves 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 with him 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 on the faces of the high school students, the falconer wanted to scold them again for being rude, but considering that they were rare guests, he took a deep breath and swallowed his words: "Go and experience the popcorn first. Once it's familiar with you, you can come and experience the falcon training activity."
…
A group of people were chatting with the falconer.
In the hall, the guest who was originally drinking coffee leisurely was no longer able to be leisurely.
He put down the cup, tiptoed out of the hall, entered the front yard, and went straight to the middle-aged shop owner.
"We agreed to let me hide here for a while, why are you inviting customers?" Ogura Chizo drooped his eyebrows, and his already worried face became even more miserable. He complained to the middle-aged shop owner, "I know you want to make money, but the situation is tense now, and so many of your peers have gone bankrupt. 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? Their accents don't sound like locals... These students who like to run around everywhere are really annoying."
When Chizo Ogura heard that the people on the other side were not "customers" who came to buy drugs, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Ordinary customers are fine, at least they won't attract the cops... Oh, I'll hide for a while, and I'll come back to eat after these guys leave."
The middle-aged shop owner nodded.
After Chizo Ogura walked away, he looked at the backyard where the guests gathered and sighed silently.
"I opened the store in this remote place not for any 'features' that can be seen everywhere - I just want to discourage those ordinary customers who like to join in the fun, so that the real 'customers' can travel safely and buy the drugs they want."
"…So which wicked guy submitted a report about my store to a 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 was his own "low-key" plan thwarted, the entire industry has been unlucky recently - for some reason, the Osaka police have suddenly increased their search intensity.
Some of his colleagues, big and small, were unlucky enough to be involved in murder cases and meet with accidents, while others were caught during road inspections... After reading too many similar news reports, the middle-aged shop owner couldn't help but feel uneasy.
In addition, his distant relative Chizo Ogura also came to him for help. After hesitating for a while, the owner finally removed the online cafe homepage and planned to sell this already famous store and reopen it in a low-key store.
...But who would have thought that before the shoppers arrived, the store was first visited by a group of chattering high school students.
“Although they are not threatening, they are annoying.” The middle-aged shop owner sighed, “I should have driven them away earlier, but my stupid wife actually thought I was running the shop seriously and welcomed them in…”
"Forget it. Now that we're here, this cafe has been open for quite a few years, and I still miss it. I'll just serve customers for the last time and consider it a closure."
Thinking of this, he patted his face, adjusted his state, and tried to turn himself into a normal, hospitable shop owner.
…
In the backyard.
The falconer held the eagle and muttered to himself, trying to comfort his eagle, which was a little agitated for some reason.
The short-haired woman in an apron took out the fresh ingredients and started chopping vegetables at the kitchen counter, preparing the meal.
Combined with the fresh air in the mountains, everything seems leisurely and comfortable.
Jiang Xia walked around and his eyes fell on a red, green and yellow cartoon wooden sign - it was a tourist schedule with daily activities listed on it.
[13:00, Popcorn Experience Event
13:30, the popcorn event ends
15:00, Falconry Experience
16:00, Falconry Event]
"It's a bit monotonous." Suzuki Sonoko whispered, "But it looks interesting."
Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanhe nodded in agreement. They looked at their watches and said, "It's almost 1 o'clock. Should we start making popcorn?"
