Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 23 23. The cage named "Kamurocho"
After walking a few streets, the two arrived at a ramen shop in an inconspicuous alley with a signboard of "Kyushu Yibanxing".

As soon as he entered the door, Jiuzhou Cheng smelled a strong fresh fragrance, which made his stomach growl.

"Don't look at this shop as small and shabby, but the taste is much better than Ichiran Ramen, and the price is also very cheap~" Suzumiya Kai winked and said with a smile:

"I eat here every time I get off work, and you'll love the taste too!"

There were already many diners sitting in the small shop, and the two chose a seat at the bar to sit down, and Suzumiya Kai skillfully ordered two classic tonkotsu ramen.

Soon, the boss brought out two bowls of noodle soup with white smoke coming out, and there were so many pork char siu slices that almost covered the noodles completely.

"I'm starting!" Suzumiya Kai grabbed the chopsticks and put his hands together, praying before the meal in a cheerful tone.

Kyushu Makoto didn't care about the red tape, and directly picked up a large lump of noodles with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth.

The chewy and tough noodles mixed with the thick pork bone soup that almost fell off the eyebrows poured into Jiuzhou Cheng's mouth, wantonly hitting his taste buds, and made him feel the double satisfaction of taste and texture at the same time.

Jiuzhoucheng tasted another piece of pork char siew, the meat was fat but not greasy, it melted in the mouth, and the taste was moderately salty, with a slight honey sweetness, which satisfied him, a lover of southern sweets.

"This restaurant is really great!" Jiuzhou Cheng stuffed the noodles and meat into his mouth, raised the bowl and drank the soup base in one gulp, until he saw the words "It's an honor" printed on the bottom of the soup bowl , before putting down the bowl with satisfaction.

"That's right~ My recommendation is definitely right, after all, I have also worked in Kamurocho for two years~" Suzumiya Kai said proudly, "Since I found this shop, I have never gone there again. It's been a while."

When the boss behind the bar heard it, he showed off with a smile: "Huh, our store uses a 100-year-old recipe. Do you want to compare the soulless industrial soup base of Ichiran Ramen?"

"I know, I know~" Hearing the boss bragging, Suzumiya Kai showed a smile like a little devil, and joked:

"Then when will you surpass Ichiran Ramen and establish a nationwide chain store?"

"Oh, this..." The boss was so choked that he couldn't speak, so he could only cook the noodles with a grievance on his face.

"It's not good for you to tease the boss like this." Jiuzhou Cheng felt that the boss was a little pitiful.

"I've known that little girl since she dropped out of high school and came to Kamurocho, and I don't even get angry when she says a word!" The boss uncle scooped up the noodles skillfully and snorted softly.

"Hey, don't talk about me casually!" Suzumiya Kai patted the table eagerly.

"Ah? Isn't he your little boyfriend?" The boss uncle said in surprise: "Sooner or later, you have to tell him about this kind of thing, right?"

Hearing such a misunderstanding, Kyushu shook his head dumbfounded:

"Sister Yuzi and I just met today, and we can be regarded as her ordinary friends."

"Oh, that's it." The boss uncle sighed disappointedly: "I also hope that the little girl can find a reliable boyfriend and leave Kamurocho soon~"

"Hey, uncle!" Suzumiya asked dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so concerned about my love? Also, I think it is my freedom to stay in Kamurocho, right?"

"Well~ that's right." The uncle boss also heaved a sigh of relief, and continued to cook the noodles: "Little girl, eat slowly, if you want to have an extra bowl, tell me."

While Suzumiya was eating noodles, Makoto Kyushu asked curiously: "Sister Yuzi, is it true that the boss said you dropped out of high school and came here?"

"Sucking ~ yes." Suzumiya Kai didn't intend to hide it anymore: "Is this normal? In the past, the house was a mess, and the alcoholic father beat people every day, and my mother would only hug me and cry. That's why I have been with other people since I was in high school. Classmates who are not four or four are mixed together, and when they come to their senses, they have already run away from home and are working here."

"It's really not easy." Makoto Kyushu lowered his head and sighed regretfully.

Unlike Yanhuang Country, which "dedicates youth to the college entrance examination", Wano Country encourages young people to enter the society after graduating from high school, and will also provide students with a certain degree of vocational and technical training during high school.

Under the background of this kind of "loose education", there are also many high school students with bad conduct who become hooligans who hate dogs after graduation; or enter the custom industry and make a living by selling their beauty.

Therefore, it is commonplace for "high school dropouts to become female publicists" in Wano Country.

"How do you say that sentence ~ Kamurocho is a concentration camp for rotten people, everyone is equally rotten~" Suzumiya Kai shook his head and sang the jingle cheerfully:

"Xiao Chunchuan looks very young, is he also a high school dropout to work as a male publicist?"

Jiuzhou Cheng shook his head, and made up a lie: "I'm not a male publicist, I just help out with odd jobs. And I'm going to college to make money."

"Hey, that sounds amazing." Suzumiya Kai suddenly showed an envious expression: "I didn't expect you to have such lofty ambitions!"

The cost of university in Wano country is very high, and the entry threshold of prestigious universities is even more shocking, and ordinary families cannot afford it.

The operating goals of the university are also very clear-we only serve the elite and geniuses, you ordinary people only need to be able to read and write, don't come here.

But even so, there are still many ordinary students studying hard, only to be admitted to prestigious universities and get promoted.

However, Jiuzhou Cheng didn't want to roll with those top students—of course, there was no word "putting" in his life—he knew that he was not a top student, but he just wanted to save money to start a martial arts company after graduating from high school. Go to the gym, pass on Master's martial arts, and then one day go back and recognize Master as a "Master of Martial Arts", so that he can be proud of himself.

For this reason, he needs to recharge his batteries during his studies at Xiujin Academy, exercise his weak body well, and at the same time pay more attention to related contacts and opportunities.

"But~" Suddenly, Suzumiya asked seriously: "A person like you who is determined to go to university must look down on a superficial woman like me, right?"

"What does this mean?" Jiuzhou Cheng couldn't help frowning, and asked in surprise, "Why do you think you are a superficial woman?"

"Well~ a woman like me who is willing to die in Kamurocho must be superficial~" Suzumiya Kai's expression didn't change, he just looked at the char siu in the bowl with fascination:
"Koharukawa is amazing~ Even though he was reduced to Kamurocho like me, he can still raise his gaze so high that his eyes are shining like stars."

"Then do you want to give yourself a goal in life?" Jiuzhou Cheng lay down on the table and asked curiously: "As long as you have lofty ideals, you are not a superficial woman, right?"

"How can it be so easy?" Suzumiya Kai covered her mouth with a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Haven't you heard of Xiaochunchuan? People who are trapped in Kamurocho will never escape~"

After hearing this, the boss uncle leaned on the bar and said, "You don't have to think about Kamurocho so scary. Girl, you are actually earning a lot of money now, right? As long as you find a way to save more money, you can leave here soon. At that time, you can find a decent job and live an ordinary life."

Suzumiya stuck out her tongue, and said playfully: "No need~ I don't have any special skills, so I can't do any 'serious work'!"

"Hey, it's up to you..." The boss uncle was not surprised, probably not the first time he heard such words: "But if you can walk out of Kamurocho, I will be sincerely happy for you."

Suzumiya Kai stretched her waist, and comforted herself: "Thinking about it, my current job earns so much money, and uncle's ramen is also delicious, won't I not be able to eat it if I leave Kamurocho?"

As she spoke, she raised the bowl and gulped down the soup at the bottom of the bowl intoxicated.

"Pay the bill, Xiaochunchuan's share will also be counted in my account!" Suzumiya Kai patted two thousand-yuan banknotes on the table, picked up the handbag and got up to leave.

"Thank you for the hospitality." Kyushu Makoto also got up and nodded slightly to the boss, and left with Suzumiya Kai.

Suzumiya also lives in the residential area of ​​Kamurocho, but it is not the same area as Makoto Kyushu.

Jiuzhou Cheng escorted her back to the apartment downstairs, but met a few drunks and gangsters along the way.But they were lucky that those dangerous elements had no intention of harassing them.

"Thank you today." Suzumiya Kaoru bowed lightly, and then took out the phone:

"Xiao Chunchuan, shall we leave a contact information?"

"Why?" Kyushu asked.

They are not the same people, and even making friends is not beneficial to each other.What's more, a mere life-saving grace is as insignificant to Jiuzhou Cheng, and he doesn't expect her to repay him.

"Well, we have a bit of fate today, and Xiao Chunchuan is a very interesting person~"

Suzumiya Kai smiled briskly, the night wind blew her pale golden hair, and the aroma of roses and wine floated into Kyushu Makoto's nostrils again, mixed with a hint of pork bone soup, but it was not as pungent as before.

"And I also want to see if you can go to university and escape from Kamurocho~"

Kyushu was stunned for a moment.

"Okay, since you're so curious, I'll let you take a look." After a while, Makoto Kyushu smiled, took out his cell phone and exchanged phone numbers with her.

Although he won't go to university, but one day he will escape from Kamurocho to realize his dream.

"That's right, I'll take you to another restaurant for dinner next time~" Looking at the new phone number, Suzumiya Kai showed a joyful smile:
"I also know a few great restaurants. Don't worry, they are all good restaurants with good quality and low price, and you won't be disappointed~"

"Then I'll look forward to it a little bit, Sister Yuzi." Jiuzhou Cheng nodded, and then ordered with concern: "Get some self-defense weapons when you go home. If you encounter danger again in the future, you can call me."

"Hey~ so good night, handsome Chunchuan~"

Suzumiya Kai made a heartfelt gesture, turned around and went upstairs, leaving him with a charming back.
