I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 1089: One Hundred Yen Promise
The scholar, who was naturally carefree, didn't say anything more.

As for the next course of action, perhaps he should consider a little bit about how to control the scope of the disaster.

now,

A few faded cherry blossoms were floating in the gutters along the road, reflecting the gradually lit street lights.

The sweet aroma of bean paste wafted from the Japanese confectionery shop on the corner, and the brush-written words "Sakuramochi" on the sign were blurred by the sunset.

The automatic recycling bin next to the mailbox made a regular mechanical hum. A few elementary school students walked by with backpacks on their backs. The clattering sound of wooden clogs hitting the stone slabs echoed in the empty alley.

Soon,
After the two walked through three blocks,

The hot steam from many stalls, such as oden, filled the air with the aroma of kelp dishes.

When she smelled the familiar fragrance, the little girl suddenly stopped in front of an old vending machine.

She fumbled for the few coins left in her pocket, her slender fingertips hovered above the button for a moment, and finally pressed the button for a can of the cheapest orange soda.

that's it,
Accompanied by the crisp sound of coins dropping into vending machines and aluminum cans of cheap orange soda popping out.

The girl also took out the bottle of orange soda and handed it to him carefully:

"Teacher Dongyun, this is the first time that you have spoken so much to me.

You must be thirsty then."

And hearing her say this,
Su Wen may have truly felt what it was like to be a teacher for the first time. It was a slightly heavy feeling, but also very good.

Even when he was teaching Joyce, Norma, or Jean before, he probably just felt like an older brother.

After all, energetic girls are more like cute little sisters who will act coquettishly with you.

But now it feels different.

Of course, as a social terrorist,
Whether it is social phobia or social terrorist, Su Wen has no interest in teaching too many people.

He had no interest in teaching even just one or two students.

Just as the meaning of "Prometheus Pedigree", it is the mentor's job to light the fire for everyone and lead the way.

But it is enough to just point them in the direction.

Whether it is Shelly, Phyllis, Joyce, or Chie Natsume.

After the scorched earth turns into Eden and the bones are covered by flowers, everyone needs to find their own path.

So, at this moment, he didn't even reject the little girl's small kindness, but took the can of orange soda with a smile.

because:

That is the [Contract].

A contract worth one hundred yen is enough to rewrite the future of this world.

What's more, Su Wen himself also likes to drink soft drinks such as Coke. Although they are not very healthy, he doesn't care so much after becoming a superhuman.

The two walked side by side through the shopping street in the twilight. At sunset, the neon signs that finally lit up quietly cast tiny spots of light on the girl's hair.

They arrived at their destination:
A small ramen restaurant in the countryside of Tokyo that he found out through casual questioning.

The door curtain of the ramen shop was fluttering in the evening breeze.
Su Wen stepped aside to let Natsume Chie go in first, and the warm yellow light in the store cast a faint golden edge on the ends of her hair.

"If the teacher eats salt ramen,
Be sure to add half-cooked tamago."

Chie Natsume tiptoed to take down the bamboo menu on the wall, and the faint smell of disinfectant wafted through her hair.

"But Mr. Nakajima's special soy sauce soup base is more suitable!" Before she finished the list of recommended ramen, the little girl suddenly covered her mouth.

Because the little calico cat that had been following them took the opportunity to jump from her arms to the counter, and even patted the fish fillets in the glass cabinet with its paw pads.

It's as if he's saying he wants to eat this.

Su Wen, who had known about its identity as a cat demon for a long time, was not surprised. He leaned against the door with a smile on his face.

He thought silently in his heart:
(I don’t want to pretend now)

(She doesn’t look like a scheming monster.)

But for now he still needs to observe further, so he didn't make any unnecessary moves.

However, compared to the calm Su Wen, Natsume Chie was very scared and frantically tried to catch her kitten.

obviously,
She already had an instinctive fear of things that might bring about scolding:
"Xiaoye, hurry up, come down."

The wound that slipped down the collar of her school uniform due to her big movements was exposed by Su Wen who calmly blocked it with his body.

There was no way he would allow this little incident to continue, and it wasn't a big deal anyway, so he simply held the kitten lightly with one hand in a place where no one was paying attention, and used the dawn power to calm it down.

It is indeed very easy for the third level to suppress the second level, especially when the little cat demon is completely unprepared.

Then the handsome scholar smiled and said to the ramen uncle:

"Then follow Chie's recommendation and give us two bowls of the signature ramen, and two servings of all the signature snacks.
As for the fish fillet that the kitten was coveting, give it one too. I’ll pay for it.”

now,

When I heard Su Wen say this,

The man wearing a white apron behind the counter just wiped his sweat with a towel and then laughed to ease the atmosphere:
"This lady's cat is very smart."

Then he found a corner spot for the two of them.

obviously,
The boss also knew Chie and knew that she was very socially anxious.

Soon, the generous boss placed two steaming bowls of ramen on the counter. The oil floating on the surface of the bone broth reflected a rainbow halo under the light:

"But why do I remember that it just took away three saury yesterday, and it dared to come and eat again today."

And I heard that this wasn't the first time the little cat demon had done this.

Chie Natsume's fingers unconsciously touched the wound under the Band-Aid. She wanted to make up for the bad thing the kitten did by stealing the fish:
"How much money did Xiaoye steal?
I'll help it return it.

But I don’t have any money now, can I owe it to you first?”

When the little girl said this, the kitten, who was happily licking the fish fillet in front of him, seemed to be stunned for a moment. It seemed that the kitten demon felt some kind of emotion that was completely different from before.

So it couldn't help but walk by Chie's feet and rub against her, then went back to eat its own fish fillet.

But Su Wen stopped the little girl and continued:

“It’s not much money.
Put it all on my account today, the teacher has money."

But at this moment,
Before he had taken a few bites of ramen, he suddenly felt some unusual abyss fluctuations.

Do not,
This abnormal psychic fluctuation may not be as simple as the abyss. It is more like the sigh of some twisted god.

Feeling this change,

The calico cat that the little girl called "Xiaoye" even suddenly whimpered like a kitten, and the tip of its tail began to tremble uncontrollably.
