This incident really gives me a sense of déjà vu. After all, I have read Osamu Tezuka's works before. After all, isn't it quite interesting?
"Hmm." Thinking of his current situation, Ash pinched his chin and began to reminisce like an elderly person. "Now I can understand my feelings a little bit. This kind of tune is really very interesting if you can enjoy it correctly."
"What, what? What's wrong?"
Faced with Nonoka who came towards him like a curious baby, Yazheng was about to brush the matter off with a sentence "You don't know things", but he saw that she still seemed a little concerned. But it didn't matter, he already knew what she liked more.
For example, now, some high-end desserts that looked like they were something Nonohana could never afford to enjoy were taken out from the cabinet behind her. The slightly curly bangs covering one eye swayed slightly the moment they appeared, and the other exposed eye was completely staring straight ahead, and the clear sound of swallowing saliva came from that side.
As for why Ash's collection includes snacks, we have to mention that every time the villains' banquets are held, they always end in a bad mood halfway through, or the righteous protagonists appear out of nowhere and then fight each other, making the chefs' hard work go to waste.
In line with the good principle of not wasting food, Ash would also put the clean food into the system inventory without any disgust, which had no time flow.
"Doctor Ash?" Hua, overly tempted by the sweet aroma, stuttered. "What do you want?"
For example, these wonderful little collections of Ash's now are what were left over from the Zombiegra family's banquet in the past. At that time, the thieves suddenly rushed in aiming at Lupin's collection, and while they were opening the treasure chests, Ash took some small gifts and now he is ready to feed them to the "Patient No. 1" in front of him.
"It's just something worthless." Ash, acting completely unconcerned, pushed the dessert directly in front of Hana. "But it's quite effective. It's just a snack for the alien Zombies, but it can also help strengthen the body for humans."
"Dr. Ash is saying weird things again... but it's delicious!"
Although Ash said something strange, it was natural that Nonoka would not doubt Ash.
Looking at Nonoka in front of him, who kept saying "This is delicious!" and "This is delicious too!" with half her face covered in food and her cheeks puffed up like a hamster as she kept chewing, Ash also felt a subtle sense of pleasure and satisfaction.
I can kind of understand the thinking of those who adopt pets...Should I adopt one too?
No, this kind of thing is just something to think about. After all, I already have "one", and I would be a bit too busy to raise a second one.
V-REX, whose head was decorated as a DX toy, saw his owner feeding him with great interest, and he shook his little mechanical dinosaur head without saying a word.
After enjoying today's food and preparing to check as usual, I saw Nonoka suddenly remembering something and took out a package from her bag.
"Oh, I'm sorry that Dr. Ash has been helping me all this time, so!" Hana said with an embarrassed smile as she brought the package to the table. Ash spotted Mikan from the tilted edge of the bag. "These are gifts my mom prepared for Mr. Ash, and..."
"Mr. Ash, would you like to come to my house as a guest?"
Ash stopped happily tapping the corner of the table with his fingers and tilted his head in confusion.
—————About the dividing line where Ash’s brain circuit is unclear—————
"Um, um... Doctor Ash!"
Looking at the deep purple medicinal soup in front of her, which was emitting an extremely strange smell and was filled with fine bubbles, killing flies and sinking fish, Nonoka showed an expression of fear that she had never shown even when fighting against the powerful enemy, the Terminator.
At this moment, Nonoka's heart was like Jerry meeting her eldest cousin, seeing a big bat flying over her head as a Gotham gangster, or facing the second son of Gatos, and she was silently screaming "Wow!"
This—this thing called "nan leaf juice," is it really for human consumption?!
This medicinal soup, which can no longer be described simply as "hard to drink", left an indescribable psychological trauma on Nonoka, who originally disliked bitterness. But every time, Ash found a reason that she could not refuse to make her drink it, and he also liked to watch her swallow it carefully with an inexplicable smile.
So what kind of hell is this scene... We've tasted enough of it, now take it away. (Sad)
"I'm a doctor, and this is medicine." As for Ash, he had his usual righteous and self-righteous expression on his face, with his arms folded across his chest as he looked at Nonoka, who had a crying face like a kitten, and he looked ruthless and would not give in easily.
After all, his sense of taste is different from that of ordinary people, and he doesn't find it unpalatable at all, so what does her discomfort have to do with him?
"In that case, sugar..."
Ash took out the candy bag under Nonoka's expectant expression.
Ash cut open the candy bag under Nonoka's extremely eager expression.
Ash threw the candy bag into the trash can at Nonohana Chaolun's desperate expression.
"I think it's about time you get used to the taste, and..." The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, just enough for the other person to see without being too arrogant. "Aren't you 22 already? You're no longer a child who likes sweets. Isn't it time for you to grow up a little?"
"I, of course I'm mature!" Hua Guo, whose pain point was touched, naturally fell for the provocation. He looked down at the bubbling medicinal soup, closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and decided to pour the medicine into his mouth. And then, as expected -
It's really hard to drink! My tongue is completely numb and tasteless. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
Seeing Nonoka rolling her eyes and sticking out her tongue in pain, the smile on Ash's lips couldn't help but become "perverted".
Nonoka, you are really qualified to be the one to provide me with entertainment!
"So." He knocked on the table to call back Hua Hun, who was about to pass out from the drink. "You said you wanted me to go to your house. What's the reason? Why?"
Well, it’s not like I haven’t been treated before. Let me think about the last time. The last time was...
Thinking about the last time when he was tricked into the base by the Justice Group and beaten up by a group of people, Ash's face suddenly turned dark.
I feel like I should be more cautious.

What made Ash feel strange was that when he asked about this serious matter, Nonoka didn't behave as cheerful and bold as usual. Instead, she started to be shy. Her face was slightly red and she kept looking down at her fingers, looking like she was quite worried.
"Huh? Uh, hahaha." From Ash's perspective, Nonoka, who looked as if she had just woken up from a dream for some reason, started laughing.
"You ask this, hahaha, this, this is the reason."
"Which one is this?" Ash continued to ask with a calm expression, not showing any sign of being evaded by Hua's words.
"This is this, and that is that!"
Ash narrowed his eyes slightly, not because he wanted to delve into the girl's heart, but because all this was suspicious, too suspicious...
If she was plotting against me again...that doesn't make sense. Her family are all ordinary people, how could they possibly plot against me? Even if it was really a plot, the motive and timing don't match, so what's the point? Why would she hide it so embarrassedly?
Ash can understand a lot of things, but he usually doesn't notice some of the awkward little thoughts that people don't want others to know, or to be more accurate, he ignores them.
"So, Miss Nonoka," Ash sighed slightly, tapping the table to wake her up. "Except for certain things I can't say, I've been honest with you. I just hope you can be honest with me, too. That's all."
"And the most important thing is, if you don't explain it clearly, no one will understand."
"Pugugu..." Nonoka's jaw softened as she lay completely powerless on the table, seemingly overwhelmed by Ash's argument.
Dr. Ash always uses weird words to fool me... and now he doesn't allow me to use something... that's really too much.
Hua didn't intend to refute, knowing that he couldn't get away with it, so he had to surrender.
"I understand, I'll tell you..."
Really... Men who delve too deeply into women's little secrets will be disliked~ Although I don't dislike Dr. Ash that much.
The cause of this incident was actually that she accidentally let slip the recent "gradually warming" relationship between her and Ash (subjective impression) when she was at home, which led to her honestly telling some of the "dating" process under a series of "questioning" from her family members. Finally, after their discussion, they unanimously asked Nonohana to bring Ash home as soon as possible, saying that he had volunteered to give her some advice.
Really, I just accidentally praised Ash in front of them, is there any need to be so anxious?
Besides, I’m not a child anymore. How could I not understand what my parents and the little bird meant when they looked at me with that scrutinizing expression while trying to hold back a weird smile?
If it's a reason like that...how can I possibly say it out loud!
"Anyway, my parents and sister wanted to see what kind of person Dr. Ash is, who has always helped and supported me, so they wanted to invite Ash to our house."
I've said it! Although the meaning is completely different, the general idea is out!
"That's it?" Ash blinked in disbelief. He couldn't believe that she had been mumbling about this for almost half a chapter. He thought he was still kept in the dark.
"Of course that's it, what else do you want?"
"Ok."
Now it's Ash's turn to be in trouble.
"So, Dr. Ash?" Hua's eyebrows clicked, as if expecting a response.
"The answer..." After a long, deliberate pause, Ash laid back with his hands behind his head and concluded, "Of course I'm not going."
"Why?!" This time it was Nonoka's turn to blink in confusion. She overcame the inner struggle and finally told him the answer, but was rejected so decisively that she suddenly felt like throwing her kindness away.
How could you be so... well, considering the man's character, it seems completely expected?
"Ah ...
Seeing Hana's eyes widen for a moment, Ash smiled with amusement.
"No reason." He crossed his legs on the table even more freely and relaxedly. Ash took out some eye drops from a drawer beside him, put two drops into his own eyes, blinked, and began to rest.
"Because this is troublesome, right? Look, look." Ash pointed at himself. "If I were a guest at someone else's house, I wouldn't have this freedom, right?"
When I was a child and had not yet joined this trip, what I hated most was following my parents to visit relatives. Not only did it completely occupy and waste my free time, but what made me even more sick was the hypocritical interpersonal relationships between both parties.
No matter how you imagine the other person in your mind, you should greet them with a smile the moment you open the door. Since you have complicated thoughts in your mind, why do you still want to maintain such hypocritical interpersonal relationships?
The result of my straightforward statement was an angry slap from my father. From then on, I hated this kind of practical "troublesome" thing.
Compared to this kind of hypocrisy that is too real, he still prefers the straightforwardness of the villain who says "I just want to destroy the world".
"Anyway, I'm not interested in going inside other people's houses."
"At least!" Unexpectedly, Ash would refuse so decisively. Hua still wanted to try to save the relationship. "Even if you don't stay for dinner or anything, just coming to my house to meet and see is fine, right?"
"No." Ash curled his lips. When I have some free time, I'll just play some games at home and read the second creations of Cure Yell by the experts on the forum. Isn't that good?
“My parents are clearly looking forward to it…”
"That's their fault for having such unwarranted expectations. It has nothing to do with me."
After hearing Ash's decisive words, Hua puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction again, but she also understood that it was impossible to convince the person in front of her with any big principles. After spending some time together, not only was Ash observing her, but Hua herself also had a lot of insights into Ash.
This person, when she is serious, seems like an adult, but actually there is a child living inside, or even a stubborn child. The more you say something conflicting to him, the more he will rebel and ignore you. This is the first law she understands.
Fortunately, she was prepared for the "child" Ash.
"What a shame! I have some of Cure Yell's special "Kill" that I want to show Dr. Ash..."
"When do we leave?"
Seeing Ash sitting up in front of her with a serious face, Hana couldn't help but smile a smile that she never saw in other days, a smile so bright that it cast a dark shadow.
Alas~ What a cute child~
【Bonus】Case File 45: Nono Family's Hospitality
"It's so hot..." Under the scorching sun, Nonoka's strength was draining away at a rate ten or even nine times faster than usual. She dragged her increasingly heavy body along the street, almost sticking out her tongue to dissipate the heat.
"I already told you, going out today wouldn't be a good idea."
The cool breeze blew across his cheek as he raised his hand, but Ash didn't show any abnormality. For someone whose past experience included his physical body piercing the surface of the sun, this temperature was nothing more than a sprinkle of water. Of course, it was still very hot.
"Really? Doctor Ash is just too lazy and doesn't want to move, right?"
"What? Of course I should use my energy on more important things."
Naturally, Miss Hua's puffy-faced sermons were completely useless to Ash.
For some reason, the sun today seemed to be more scorching than yesterday. The hot weather above her head caused more sweat to flow from Nonoka's forehead, and it also ruined the light makeup she had put on half an hour earlier after getting up earlier.
The sweat and the powder on her face rolled down her cheeks, leaving several very embarrassing wet marks. The extremely obvious road and the occasional glances from her male companion made her want to find a ditch to jump into on the spot.
So shameful, so shameful, so shameful, so shameful...
In fact, Ash didn't seem to care at all. It was just strange that her expression changed from depressed to powerless, and then to like Batman. She lamented the horrible weather and was glad that she had the foresight to leave her coat at home.
Of course, if Ash's father knew that his son was just casually wearing a white T-shirt and was about to visit a female friend's house, he would definitely kick him in the ass out of frustration, but he was the only one on this endless journey from beginning to end except for the system, so... naturally he could do whatever he wanted.
Above her head, she could vaguely see two people emitting evaporating mist walking down the slope of the street. Nonoka, who felt like she was about to be evaporated, had her tongue stuck out at some point. When she saw the extremely familiar building in front of her, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she perked up.
"Doctor Ash, this is it!"
"Um...."
She looked up at the Nono family's big...small house. After all, she had failed in her business and was still living in her hometown with her parents. Of course, she couldn't have any high-end property like Dabieye. This was not something that a fairy tale for little girls could provide her with.
"Hurry up, Ash."
"Oh."
Naturally, he skipped the Japanese custom of saying thank you when entering the door, changed into the slings used to entertain guests, and when Ash looked inside, he saw several people who were already ready to greet him.
Ash released a little bit of his aura and tried to sense it. As for danger and murderous intent... there was none at all?
"?"
Only Hua looked at Ash in confusion. For some reason, she felt that there was a very dangerous aura coming from Ash. Of course, she did not doubt him at all.
Hmm...was it just my imagination? I've been really busy lately. Time Fire's weird talk must have shaken me up a bit. I need to listen to Ash and rest.
"You must be the Doctor Ash that Hana was talking about? Oh, thank you so much for taking care of this little fool of mine."
With a gentle smile on his face, before Ash, who had no experience in such social interactions, could react, the middle-aged man with gray hair immediately took the initiative to welcome him into the house.
A possible "fire and gunfire" was eliminated without a trace by this natural tenderness before the fire was ignited.
