Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 132 The Dead Shop Owner
"So... this is the restaurant you want to eat at?"

Looking at the unremarkable little restaurant in front of him, Yang Liu scratched his head, feeling a little unexpected.

They were now on the north side of Nokonoshima, a residential area on the other side of the island.

Although it is called a residential area, the building density is actually even sparser than other areas on the island.

Just like the small house in front of us, it stands alone beside the road, with no other houses within dozens of meters around.

However, there are many bicycles and cars parked around this inconspicuous little house. It seems that these are local residents who come here after get off work.

“Yes, this restaurant was recommended to me by Miko. It is said to be quite famous on the island, and many students come here to eat together after class.

But when Yako brought me here last week, the restaurant was closed for some reason, and I heard it reopened only two days ago, so…"

At this point, Koizumi Ling suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Yang Liu understood that with the abilities this girl possessed and her nosy personality, she was determined not to be bullied, let alone a friend.

I'm afraid that Nagai Yako can be regarded as Koizumi Ling's first real friend. As for eating with friends, she probably has never experienced this before, so she can't forget it.

Yang Liu smiled gently: "Since it is a highly recommended store, I am looking forward to it. Don't worry, I will cover all your expenses today!"

"Don't worry, teacher. I heard that the characteristic of this store is that it is cheap and affordable." Koizumi Ling said cautiously.

Yang Liu burst out laughing. This girl was even worried about her wallet. She must be too kind.

"Don't worry, teacher. I am a reliable adult after all. I can still afford a meal."

Yang Liu rubbed her head hard, then opened the door and walked in.

“Welcome~”

As the shop assistant shouted with a little passion, Yang Liu also saw the situation inside the store clearly.

As he expected, the store was quite busy.

It wasn't even lunchtime yet, but the store was already full of people. People were chatting animatedly with their friends and even the store clerks at their seats. From the way they talked, most of them were probably regular customers and were quite familiar with each other.

"Two people." Yang Liu nodded to the clerk.

The clerk looked around the store and invited Yang Liu and the other person to the bar: "Okay, please sit over here!"

The tall figures of Yang Liu and Koizumi Ling attracted the attention of everyone in the store almost the moment they entered, but everyone just took a quick look and turned back to continue their conversation.

Xiaoquan Ling carefully sat down next to Yang Liu with her schoolbag in her arms. She glanced at the sign hanging on the wall and was a little surprised: "The set meals here are so cheap..."

Yang Liu looked at the sign on the wall and nodded in agreement.

There are not many set meals in the store, but except for a few seafood set meals, the rest of the set meals are basically 500 yen.

This price is considered quite cheap no matter where you are in Japan. If you ignore the exchange rate and instead compare it based on purchasing power and per capita wages, a set meal of this price is probably similar to a 10 yuan lunch box in China.

"Yes, and the portion seems to be quite large, no wonder it is so popular."

Yang Liu looked around at the food on the tables of the surrounding customers. The portion of each portion was quite good, and even a set meal would be enough to fill an adult male.

Just then, the waiter who had just served Yang Liu came past the two of them from the kitchen carrying a few set meals. Yang Liu glanced towards the kitchen and was slightly stunned.

"Teacher Yang..."

Koizumi Ling beside her carefully tugged at his sleeve. Yang Liu turned his head and looked at her, then nodded slightly - Koizumi Ling also noticed something was wrong.

"Teacher, how about we change to another restaurant first?" "It's okay, just eat here, the food is fine."

Looking at Koizumi Ling's conflicted eyes, Yang Liu smiled and shook her head.

Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, Yang Liu thought for a moment and added a little more "chips": "This store is only open for one afternoon. We can come back to investigate after the customers leave. We can't go hungry before then."

"All right……"

As she said this, Koizumi Ling became visibly happier.

……

……

Dusk hour.

After seeing off the last customer and cleaning the shop, the clerk changed the sign to "Preparing" and went to the kitchen.

"Cough cough cough..."

As soon as he came in, he heard a continuous coughing sound.

"Boss, you can't go on like this. I feel like you're feeling worse than yesterday. Do you want to rest for two more days?" The clerk's tone was full of worry.

"Ahem... No... I have to wait for Yuna to come home. That child... will be back in a few days."

In the kitchen, a middle-aged man sitting on a chair shook his head with difficulty.

He had to stop and gasp for breath almost every few words, and his throat was so hoarse that it seemed like it would break at any moment.

Changning's hard work made his hair look gray, but considering his age he should not be so weak.

"Oshima... I'm sorry for bothering you these past few days... You've worked hard today too..."

The clerk Oshima shook his head and said, "Mr. Arima, please don't say that. Yuna and I have been friends since childhood, so it is only natural for me to help. The problem now is that your situation is not optimistic..."

jingle!

Before he could finish his words, Oshima heard the doorbell ring.

He was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stopped talking and ran out of the kitchen: "Sorry, sir, we are closed today...ah, it's you two."

After seeing Yang Liu and Koizumi Ling, Oshima paused. He was really impressed by their figures. "Did you two forget something?"

"No, we come here to meet the owner of this store." Koizumi Ling shook her head.

"Who are you?" Oshima took two steps back cautiously. "I'm sorry, the boss has been feeling unwell lately and it's not appropriate for him to meet with you."

Yang Liu took a step forward and walked in front of Dadao, lowered her head and smiled gently, "Don't be so vigilant, we have no ill intentions. Let me introduce myself again, I'm Yang Liu, a psychic passing by."

"Psychic...master?" Oshima swallowed and his smile became a little forced.

Taking a look at Yang Liu's figure, her legs trembled a little, but she still firmly used her body to block the way to the kitchen intentionally or unintentionally.

"So you are Mr. Psychic. Sorry, I don't really believe in these supernatural things."

"Really? But aren't you already helping a dead man with your own will?"
