Tokyo Wingman King

The Sun King’s celebration banquet was held as scheduled.

The banquet will be held at a self-service barbecue restaurant 2 stops away from Emma Shopping Street.

Since the Infinite Festival in August, Dahui has sold 8% of the market stalls to local shops at low prices. Most of the selected cooperative shops are old shops with good reputations, but they are in trouble due to multiple blows such as economic downturn, Internet impact, shrinking customer base, and aging staff. This barbecue restaurant is one of them.

The boss is Yoshimasa Sato, who was a biker gang member when he was young. He inherited his father's public canteen 30 years ago and transformed it into a self-service barbecue restaurant.

Ever since Daiki came to invite him last month, he has become a loyal fan of Daiki and Mugensha, claiming that as long as the Mugen Festival continues, he will set up his own barbecue stall even in the Arctic Circle.

In addition, it was not until the beginning of this month that everyone knew that the boss was a very close friend of Arima's adoptive father, Mr. Giyu Teruya.

[Cheap is justice!]
[Eating meat with big mouthfuls is a man's dignity!]
[Free for children under 12 years old!]
The boss's chivalrous temperament can be seen from the large calligraphy characters on the store sign.

When Asama and his group arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Daiki and several Mugensha executives had already been asked by the boss and Mr. Teruya to serve as food tasters at the front desk. The boss handed out the skewers and Mr. Teruya handed out the shochu.

Mr. Teruya's actions were immediately met with the righteous iron fist of his four adopted daughters.

Asama asked Arima,

"Have you often come here for dinner?"

"I used to eat here occasionally for birthdays and such, but I seldom come here since I started junior high school."

Arima looked at the poster that said [Free for children under 12 years old] and everything was said.

At some point, Busuigawa climbed onto the bar table in the barbecue restaurant, raised his hands on his hips and announced,
"Here, let us wish the Ai Ma Shopping Street Upgrade Opening Event and the Infinite Fighting Festival a complete success! All the consumption today will be on my plate! Everyone, please don't hesitate to eat to your heart's content!"

"Ohhhhhhhhh!!! Long live Big Sister Busikawa!!!" x20
The people from the Infinity Society immediately became agitated.

"Shout with me! The event was a complete success! Long live Robert!"

"Long live Robert!" x2
"Long live the Great Sensei!!! Long live Asama-sama!!!" x20
Someone found that his shout was different from others and asked in confusion,

"Who is Robert-kun?"

"Idiot! You've been here for over a month, and you don't know this? That's the nickname given to the teacher by the big sister."

"That's the one who saved you this afternoon!"

On the set in the afternoon, several people from Mugensha were standing on the roof using water pipes connected to shower heads to create artificial rain. One unlucky guy slipped and fell off the roof, but was caught in time by Asana.

Fuzugawa received Asama's look - [What does this have to do with me? It can't be that you treat me and I pay the bill, right?] - the idol girl nodded, narrowed her eyes, raised her hand and shouted, "No~Se~No~The event was a complete success! Long live Robert~~~"

"The event was a complete success! Long live Robert!!!" x22
"Long live Hero-kun!"

"Long live Shizumi-kun!!!"

Ichijo and Futami also pumped their fists and joined in the cheers that were about to end.

Why are you guys joining in the fun?
The key is to ensure that the event is a complete success! In addition, isn’t it a bit too early to hold a celebration party before the event?
Long live everything, it will only harm you, F-san!
After Fuzugawa's disturbance, the atmosphere became inexplicably cheerful. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that some art failure student was giving a speech in this barbecue restaurant.

The members of Mugensha, the fans of Death Samurai, Toyo Eika's students, the children of the shop owners in the shopping street, and the two couples filming the commercial, all of them relaxed their expressions without them noticing.

Some people say that a banquet is a gathering of many strangers to have awkward conversations, which is more strenuous than going to work. Only a god of social poverty alleviation like Fuzugawa can make everyone feel as comfortable as going home for dinner, right?
Mr. Teruya looked behind everyone and asked Arima,

"Xiaoji, where are the president and the others?"

"They said they didn't want to disturb the young people's interest, so they organized another party."

Fuzugawa pushed his boss to Asama and said with a smile,
"Robert~~This is the righteous boss of this store~The boss said that today's buffet is 8% off! Boss~This is Dahui's master, the great teacher Robert~~"

Ichijo, who was standing next to Asama, glared at Busui and scolded him.
"Can you introduce Hero-kun's name properly? There's no such thing as introducing him by his nickname."

"It's a nickname, a nickname!"

"Hahaha! I've heard a lot about you! Asama-sensei looks really young and promising! Giyuu and Heiwa-kun often tell me about you. It's a pity that we couldn't meet at the Infinite Festival last month!"

"Mr. Sato, you misunderstood. I am also a student, not a teacher."

"Teacher is not a profession, but a life attitude! The children you teach are great and full of spirit!"

In the noisy atmosphere, the owner of the barbecue restaurant seemed to strive to make every word he said reach Asama's ear canal, and his voice was as loud as a gong struck against his face.

"Their teacher is life, and secondly, themselves. Thank you for your support of the Infinite Society. Sorry for the trouble."

"Oh! What troubles do I have to worry about at my age? I'm 56! I'm in my prime! What I fear most is boredom! Doing the same thing day after day without seeing new faces is the most uncomfortable life."

Boss Sato looked back at the barbecue restaurant full of people and said with a smile,

"When you, the Infinite Society, came here, you didn't eat alone. My business has improved and that shabby street has become more lively. It would be great if there were more young people like you in this country."

The Infinite Festival event is indeed working, with a guaranteed customer flow of 8000 people, clear offline packaging, and targeted online publicity. It can bring fresh customer flow to these old stores in Adachi Ward and achieve a win-win situation in boosting the regional economy.

"It will definitely get better and better. In the future, we need to encourage tourists visiting Tokyo to spend half a day here to check in."

"Teacher Asama, I listened to Daiki's advice last week and opened AliPay, and also made a Chinese menu. But there are no foreigners coming during this period. Will Chinese tourists really come to Adachi District in Tokyo, where the per capita income is the lowest, to check in?"

"As long as the opportunity cost does not exceed their expectations, they are willing to go even if it is to the slums of India, the mountains of the Middle East, or the deserts of Africa. Even if they can't catch the fighting festival, the experience of the shopping street is enough to satisfy them."

"So is there any direction for the renovation of our street? Are you willing to invest in the renovation of this street?"

“The area is a mixture of commercial and residential areas, with scattered shops and narrow roads, so it is theoretically not easy to renovate.

However, given the scale of the Ai Ma Shopping Street, the customer base will definitely overflow outside the street in the future. As long as there is appropriate publicity and guidance, the shops in the surrounding blocks will definitely be driven. Rather than spending money and effort to transform the appearance of this street, it is better to improve the internal strength, provide personalized experience, and differentiated operations. "

"As long as you are the ones who make the decision, and not that fat pig from the shopping street, I'll feel relieved." Boss Sato nodded and continued to ask questions to Asama with great interest, as if he would keep asking unless anyone stopped him, until his son, who had joined Mugensha the previous month with a sullen face, grabbed his arm and dragged him into the kitchen. The hoarse voice echoing in the barbecue restaurant finally stopped.

As soon as Boss Sato left, several members of Mugensha came over to thank Asama and asked for his autograph.

The most emotional person was a boy named Sakurai. He spoke incoherently to Asama that his team had made it to the top 32 this time, as if he was a second son who lacked fatherly love.

Fanatical fans who are familiar with Busui Kawai were also discussing the true identity of Busui Kawai's brother.

Kisaragi Koto looked at Fushigi Rize, and saw her and the other girls staring at Asama with the eyes looking at the stars. He knew that the light that never belonged to him was now even farther away from him.

To his regret, next to Asama, the light became very slow, as if Asama was a black hole. No, he was a huge universe, and even the fleeting light became a slow-moving firefly in front of him.

But like Yue Guangdou, he understands Fuzugawa Risa.

Among the children of the Five Regiments family, the only one who is willing to live like Asama Shizumizu is probably Asama Shizumizu.

One moment he was saying that he didn't want to be a meaningless denominator, and the next moment he was having a heart-to-heart talk with the one-billionth small shop owner about future possibilities.

Those members of the brotherhood who claim to be moral models may not be as down-to-earth as Asama Shizumizu.

They are closer to numbers that represent public welfare, while he is closer to people's hearts. Even though people's hearts are easily manipulated by numbers, he will weave a real network of people's hearts through the perceptions of countless people nearby. Perhaps it is this willingness to help people nearby that touched Fuzugawa Risei.

Someone patted Yue Guangdou's shoulder.

"Take your seat, like the moonlight fighting."

It's Ryuzaki Hayato, a weirdo from a Tokyo academic clique.

From the way he spoke, he seemed to be the person who knew Asama Shizumizu best in the world.

Looking at Ryuzaki's deliberately serious face, Kisaragi felt a lot better for some reason.

"If you just want to call other people idiots in your mind, don't say it to their faces."

Ryuzaki's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her. Kisaragi suppressed her instinct to deny and confessed half of the truth.
"I'm sorry, I think those who can't laugh are mostly cold-blooded, a little boring, and probably only one in ten thousand is a fool."

"Do you mean to say that Asama Shizumizu is cold-blooded or that he is boring?"

Ruyue Guangdou looked at Ryuuzaki carefully and confirmed that the person sitting on his left was a person without self-awareness.

The barbecue feast lasted nearly 2 hours.

While Asama was grilling for everyone (mainly Pochi), he was also looking at the Infinite Festival implementation plan sent by Daiki.

Komaba and Hanzawa jointly gave Daiki a big gift - the venue for the trial play of the new DLC of Capcom's famous fighting game "Street Fighter 6" was held in the Infinite Festival event next weekend.

Therefore, in addition to the regular content, the event plan for the third Infinite Festival also includes a large amount of executive content related to the collaboration.

Asama had given Daiki some suggestions before. After a round of revisions, the offline venue and traffic flow layout, interactive COS performances, offline challenge games, and joint gift boxes were all fine - they were all based on the experience of Capcom's fighting game fans, and would never steal the show and cause dislike among Capcom fans. Ryusaki even took the initiative to contribute all the motorcycles in his collection, so that Daiki and his friends could change them into Street Fighter livery as a check-in point for the event.

After three rounds of revisions, many highlights have emerged in terms of online promotion and co-development of products with the Street Fighter IP.

For example, you can upload photos of yourself and your relatives and friends to create a mini-game in which Street Fighter characters engage in abstract battles, or you can play a mini-game in which you guess the silhouettes of Street Fighter characters. These mini-games, combined with coupons, can play a good role in spreading the word.

Those co-branded sports suits, priced at 12000 yen, have an ink-and-wash style design that combines a sense of power and artistry. Even though he is not a fan of Kawhi Leonard, he is willing to pay for one.

Everyone in the Infinite Society listened very carefully to the discussion between Asama and the general manager. Although they didn't understand, they tried their best to persevere because they always had a feeling in their hearts that "If I don't listen carefully to what the great teacher says, I might die miserably."

"By the way, when will you, Infinite Festival, leave Tokyo? Do you have any plans to break out of Asia? And compete with the foreigners?"

After finishing his work, Sato, the owner of the barbecue restaurant, came over and sat down familiarly. After drinking three cups in a row, he poured another glass of wine for Asana.

"No drinking, thank you. Let Dahui answer your question."

Asama passed the question to Daiki.

"Neither Mugensha nor Mugen Festival intends to go beyond Asia. What we ultimately need to solve is the future of young people in this country, especially those who are not well taken care of in the country and feel that they have no future in the future.

We are now starting with sports and entertainment, and the ultimate destination is industry. Infinite Society is not going to be a big company, but an organic part of this country, a community with a sense of belonging and equal distribution. "

"Only young people like you dare to dream of such a utopian dream. If I say such a thing, people will laugh their heads off."

"We young people are not the only ones who dare to dream. Uncle Sato, aren't you also single-handedly running a utopia where young people can have a full barbecue meal by working hard for three hours?"

"It is precisely because I was too naive that I was accused of using dead pig meat, rat meat, and meat of unknown origin!"

The uncle's face suddenly turned red, and a moist light appeared in his eyes.

"Even if you print out the order records, only those few old customers will believe it. If you want to have a good heart, you will be roasted on the flames of the highest moral standards! If you go too far, they will want to eat you up next! In fact, before you came to me, I was planning to close the store after this year.

I heard from Yiyong that many wealthy people have also invested in Dahuijun's business. Those capitalists probably don't like to hear this kind of talk, right? Profits, listing, price-earnings ratio, skyrocketing, those are what they care about, not your ideals!"

"Uncle Sato, I believe everything depends on human effort. That's why we filtered out more than 100 negative reviews and sought cooperation with you. And the rich man who invested in this business is sitting next to you. Do you think he is a capitalist?"

Boss Sato did not answer, but held Asama's shoulders and asked with a drunken mouth,

"Can I trust you?"

"If you want to believe, then please believe in yourself. Your destiny is your own choice. Even if it is not in your hands, it is in front of you.

I believe in one sentence right now: those who spread rumors will pay the price. "

After Asama finished speaking, he called Doraemon Komaba. (End of this chapter)
