Yu Xing took out his phone and turned on the screen. On it was a city map that he had asked Ichijo Kaoru to temporarily retrieve: "The view is wide here. As long as we fish here, he will come out to see us sooner or later."
Wu Dai leaned over to take a look at the markers on the screen and nodded slightly.
After making a quick decision, Yuuki looked at Ryotaro, who remained silent for a few seconds.
“Then let’s do it this way. But my advice is not to have too many people acting at the same time. He’s in the dark while we’re in the light; having too many people will only make us more vulnerable to being exposed.”
"No problem, it's decided then. Where's your tram now? We should get going."
Yuuki looked at Ryotaro, whose lips twitched and he covered his face.
"Of course we can't use the tram; we can only walk or take a taxi."
Such a massive tram doesn't seem scientifically sensible in this world, does it?
"Uh, okay, let's go then, it's just the few of us."
Yu Xing spoke quickly, leading the group outside: "Let's wait and see how things go, and then we'll make contact when he shows himself."
The sky outside the window had completely darkened. The warm light from the café cast the outlines of three figures on the glass, and the red lanterns of the izakaya across the street lit up as groups of two or three people moved slowly along the sidewalk.
Everything was eerily calm, as if this neighborhood had never experienced anything extraordinary since its inception.
But Yu-Hsuan knew that what lay hidden beneath the calm was what they were truly looking for.
He glanced out the window one last time, then finished the remaining coffee in his cup.
"Let's go and take a look around this area first. Maybe we'll see the child."
Ryotaro stood up and casually pulled the brim of the baseball cap down a bit, while Yuuki grabbed the cap off.
"Go out and stroll around openly, otherwise you won't see him."
As the five of them left the coffee shop, the evening breeze, carrying the unique atmosphere of the city, rushed towards them.
The streetlights hummed overhead, casting the five people's shadows from their feet for over ten meters before slowly disappearing around the corner.
"The weather is quite nice."
Looking up at the sky, Ryotaro felt a sense of peace.
"This city would be a really good place to retire."
Ryotaro entered before the others. He had already seen everything here and was very pleased with the peaceful life.
"We'll have our chance after everything is over."
Chapter 193 Kogo
While chatting, the group kept walking and, after turning a few corners, arrived at a snack street.
This was the first time Youxing had ever seen a food street. He was always busy and rarely had the opportunity to experience the lives of ordinary people.
"It's been so long since I've seen a scene like this."
Looking at the street vendors moving about on both sides of the street, Ryotaro put his hands in his pockets and couldn't help but sigh.
"Since the end of the Knights War, we've been driving trams through time tunnels, repairing the history of various places. It's been a long time since we've had a proper meal."
With that thought in mind, Ryotaro relaxed and began to scout around the food street.
"Let's have a good meal before it's too late."
As dusk approached, it was time for dinner. Yuuki rubbed his stomach, while Rin Ichijo watched him with a smile.
"I never thought that even the savior would get tired."
"Please, saving the world is really tiring. Every time it puts a lot of pressure on my mind and body, okay?"
Injuries can heal, but each pain leaves a scar in Yuuki's memory, and he needs to heal as well.
Do you think I'm made of iron?
Yuuki's speechless words made Godai chuckle: "You probably don't know how arrogant this guy was when we first met."
This remark drew the attention of others.
"Senior Godai, tell us the story of what happened between you and Yuuki back then."
Rin climbed up the pole, which made Yuuki's lips twitch.
"Speaking of which, I was able to meet the Fifth Generation thanks to you."
Yuuki brought up that old story and told it to the others.
After hearing the story, Ryotaro stroked his chin: "No wonder I noticed extremely subtle spacetime fluctuations back then."
Unless it causes a significant change in history, Ryotaro rarely deals with such matters, and besides, he rarely has the time to do so.
He was often in a state of both hunting down the Time and Space Administration and being hunted down by it.
"I was wondering why I ended up in another place right after leaving the Metropolitan Police Department. I think it's your fault too."
Experiencing two time travels in a row is not a pleasant feeling at all.
Thinking of those past events, Rin Ichijo shuddered and fixed her gaze on a tonkotsu ramen shop by the roadside.
"Let's go eat some tonkotsu ramen to warm up my heart."
Following the direction Rin pointed, the group looked over and saw a tonkotsu ramen shop with a light-up sign, where many people were sitting at a table behind it.
The owner scooped noodles from a steaming bucket, calling out every now and then, and the people sitting behind him immediately came forward to take the noodles.
"There seem to be quite a lot of people. Shall we go check it out?"
Yuuki was somewhat tempted, and Ryotaro nodded: "I haven't had this in a long time."
Godai nodded in agreement, and everyone's gaze fell on Guihu, who hadn't spoken until now. Guihu raised his hand, indicating that he had no objections.
The group soon arrived at the tonkotsu ramen stall. Looking at the wide variety of dishes, Yu Xing waved his hand and told them to order: "You can order whatever you want, I'll pay for the rest."
After saying that, he walked straight to the table behind him, took out the phone he had bought that afternoon, and started browsing the news around the world.
"Let's order."
Ignoring Yuuki, the group ordered what they wanted to eat and eventually gathered together with her.
Sitting at the table, the group began to chat. Youxing turned off her phone and started observing her surroundings.
Besides a young man making ramen at the stall, there was also a child following him.
Sometimes, when guests are unable to collect their food themselves, a child will deliver it to their seat.
The two worked together so well that it was hard to doubt their relationship.
After thinking for a moment, Yuuki decided to talk to the stall owner. After telling Godai and the others, he went to the stall and sat down opposite the owner.
"Boss, how long have you been running this stall?"
Yu Xing looked at him with a question in her eyes. The owner didn't even look up and replied while making ramen, "It's been open for about a year or two. I've always had a lot of customers."
Yu Xing's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't continue asking questions, but suddenly changed the subject: "Boss, is that child your son?"
Faced with this question, the boss finally looked up, his face even younger than Yuxing had imagined.
"No, it's just a relative of mine who came to help out at my stall. Sometimes I can't handle everything by myself."
As they were talking, the owner handed Youxing a bowl of noodles: "Guest, one bowl of noodles is ready for your table."
Yu Xing didn't rush to take it, but instead waved to the child.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Please take this bowl of noodles over to me."
Yu Xing spoke quickly, handing the bowl to the child. The child nodded, took the bowl, and walked toward the table where the group was sitting.
He had only taken a couple of steps when Youxing called out to him again, "What's your name?"
"Ah, my name is Kogo."
It was just a name, and the child didn't notice anything amiss, so he told Yuxing directly.
Yu Xing nodded and glanced at the boss.
The boss didn't look up, but Yuxing still sensed something was wrong.
"Is that so?"
As if she had thought of something, but Yuuki didn't say anything and turned back to the table.
The noodles were served one by one, and the group started slurping them down on the table. Youxing stared at the bowl of noodles in front of her but didn't eat any.
After they finished eating, they looked up and saw Youxing deep in thought.
"What's wrong? Don't you like the noodles?"
"I think this noodle dish tastes pretty good."
Rin was a little confused, thinking that it didn't suit Yuuki's taste.
Yu Xing shook his head. He didn't think the noodles were bad, but there were other reasons why he didn't choose to eat them.
He looked around and realized that, at some point, everyone else at the stall had left, leaving only his table.
"Guests, we're about to close up shop."
The boss turned off the steaming stove and looked at Youxing and the others with a big smile.
"If you've finished eating, let's go now."
"it is good."
Godai smiled and nodded gently, preparing to leave with his group, but Yuuki remained seated and motionless.
"Now that you've met the person, shouldn't you tell us what you think?"
Upon hearing Yuuki's words, the group was all taken aback. Then they saw Yuuki turn around and look at the child standing next to the man.
"Sachigo, do you think they are what you imagine them to be?"
Faced with this question, Xingwu immediately became nervous and tried to look up at his boss, but his boss gently pressed his head down.
"Guest, I don't know what you're talking about. We really have to go."
After saying that, he started packing up his things on the stall without paying any attention, but Yuxing grabbed his arm.
