She fixed her eyes on the road and said calmly: "So, you were joking just now."
"No. The ones at the back are souvenirs brought back from another world."
“Oh, I see…”
Shihua was no longer surprised and accepted this matter very calmly.
This made Xia Jia feel a little strange: "Why, what happened?"
Juhua thought for a moment, bit her lip and said, "Originally, even if you didn't come to see me, I would have asked you to help me take care of Liuhua."
"Oh. Tell me?"
Xia Jia took out a bag of potato chips from his four-dimensional pocket and ate them while crunching.
"Where did you get it from... Ha, never mind." Juhua glanced at Xia Jia and said lightly: "It's about the new job. I may be very busy in the future and have no time to take care of Rikka."
"That's it?" Xia Jia stopped eating potato chips and said nonchalantly, "Isn't Yuta quite familiar with Rikka? They live nearby too."
Shihua said calmly, "I don't feel comfortable with them living together."
"Oh, are you afraid of meeting your nephew early?"
Shihua said calmly: "No..., I'm afraid they will destroy the world."
Xia Jia choked and rolled his eyes: "It seems that this is really possible now."
After a pause, Xia Jia asked curiously: "This doesn't seem to be related to what I just said."
Shihua said calmly, "Yes."
"what relationship?"
"You'll know when you get there. Come with me to a place."
The car followed the flow of traffic and continued to drive towards more remote places. Shihua stopped the car in an alley at the junction of Ginkgo County and Mihua County.
Xia Jia got off the car curiously, looked around and asked:
"It's so late, why are you here instead of going back to cook for Liuhua?"
Shihua got out of the car, glanced at Xia Jia with her beautiful eyes and said:
"As soon as the child got home, she said she had eaten. Then she held the helmet someone gave her and said she wanted to explore a singularity or something. I'm starting to worry about her performance. Someone better think of a solution for me."
"Uh..." Xia Jia scratched his face and pushed the matter to others: "You should ask Yuta. I'm very busy."
Touka did not directly answer Xia Jia's question, and the two of them pushed open the door of a shop next to the car.
With a jingle, the bell on the door rang.
Shihua casually turned on the light, the bulb flickered, and Xia Jia could see the layout of the room clearly.
The room is not big, with only a rectangular bar, a cooking stove on one side, and a dining area that can only accommodate a table on the other side.
It is worth mentioning that there is a strange tabby cat decoration hanging on the wall of the bar.
Xia Jia rolled his eyes, "I'm obviously allergic to cats, and yet there are cat decorations and stuff in the store."
Juhua casually threw the ingredients that Xia Jia brought into the refrigerator and said, "Those were left by the previous owner. Besides, I'm only allergic to cat hair, not even the patterns."
Xia Jia wandered around the store curiously, but didn't find anything unusual:
"Is this what you call work? At this distance, even if I drive back and forth, I can still take care of Rikka's life."
Touka sat at the bar, looking at the ceiling.
"I bought this shop with the salary I saved after graduation. Just like you said, I had the same idea. I can take care of Rikka and run a long-established small shop like Yukihira-senpai."
Xia Jia sat next to Juhua and complained, "I thought you were going to Italy and marry a normal member."
Juhua leaned forward and turned her head, staring at Xia Jia with her beautiful wine-red pupils: "Where did this rumor come from? Besides, I don't feel comfortable letting Rikka go alone when she's in that state."
The aho-hair on her head twitched, and she raised her finger and said, "If you want to get married, you should at least ask Xia Jun's opinion, don't you think so, Dad-san?"
This title made Xia Jia's scalp tingle.
"Isn't that the nickname Yuta and Toumori call me? And, it's not dad-san, it's daddy!"
Shihua raised her head and said, "It's the same idea, there's also..."
She rummaged through her backpack and took out a recorder: "Got it, got it..."
She said, pressing the play button...
[When I grow up, I want to marry Touka-sister! Then I can be Rikka-chan’s father! Guhehe~]
Snapped……
Xia Jia pressed the recorder and looked at Shihua kindly:
"You, what do you want..."
Shihua calmly snatched the recorder from Xia Jia's hand: "It's useless. This is not the only one."
"Damn it. Why do you keep such a dark history?"
Touka tilted her head and said, "My hobby is uploading interesting short videos online. I remember thinking at the time that if I was expelled from Totsuki in the future, maybe I could rely on this to get close to the Advent teacher and never have to worry about food and clothing from then on."
Xia Jia's face was full of black lines: "You actually didn't even let a child go?"
Shihua covered her face and pretended to be sad: "What can I do? I am just a poor person who lost my father and even my mother left us and eloped with someone else."
Touka's expression of indifference, yet her ability to speak in a very exaggerated manner, really appeals to Xia Jia's cuteness. Could this guy also have some kind of middle school attribute?
Xia Jia rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, alright. Take it back."
Shihua calmly tossed the recorder and boasted, "In short, if you don't want this recording to be exposed, you better obey me."
Xia Jia looked indignant: "Do you think you can threaten me with this?"
Shika pressed the button again, and a familiar voice from Xia Jia came out of the machine:
[I——the Adventer Shaka, am the man who will become the harem king! Man——man——!]
Xia Jia knelt down: "Sister~, please show mercy!"
Chapter 368: A cafeteria in another world?
Under the pressure from Sister Shihua, Xia Jia could only wait patiently in the store while she processed the ingredients and prepared the seasonings.
"Are you thinking of opening a midnight canteen?"
While Xia Jia was eating the vegetarian noodles made with cabbage by Shihua, time unknowingly came to 12 o'clock.
Ding-dong, the bell at the door rang, which meant that guests were coming.
Xia Jia sipped his noodles and looked back...
"Cough cough cough cough cough -"
A loud coughing sound was heard. Xia Jia used a tissue to wipe away the noodles that came out of his nostrils, and pointed at the guest who came in with trembling fingers:
"I'm super! Minotaur!"
"Don't call me Minotaur. I have the famous name Alistar."
"The Minotaur is talking!" Xia Jia's expression instantly changed from surprise to indifference, and then he turned his head and continued eating noodles and said, "Do you think I would say that?"
"Uh..." The minotaur named Alistar scratched his head, sat next to Shaka and looked at Shihua.
"Manager, the customer's reaction this time seems a little different."
Shihua had a blank expression on her face and calmly handed out the menu: "This is today's new dish, eat it and leave quickly."
Alistar took a look and exclaimed, "There's actually a pasta dish made with cabbage! I want this!"
Xia Jia rolled his eyes and said, "There are only two dishes on the menu. Speaking of which, Juhua didn't prepare anything else today except the ingredients I brought."
Xia Jia was eating a bowl of noodles and was pulled by Shihua to help in the kitchen.
After the Tauren, Shaka also received the lizard elder, the dwarf, the ranger, and the old wizard.
After seeing off the last customer, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning when Shihua took off her apron.
Xia Jia asked calmly:
"Is this why you said you would entrust Rikka to me?"
Xia Jia, who has been immersed in the literary world for decades, naturally knows what this so-called routine is.
Isn't this the rumored different world cafeteria? But the chef seems to have changed from a certain uncle to Juuka? Is this the conclusion of the world line?
Shihua sat on the bar, looking tired and said:
"You can see what kind of guests are coming here. I don't even know if I will be eaten by those monsters one day."
Xia Jia stroked his chin and said, "Indeed, although it seems that the guests are quite polite at the moment, there is no guarantee that they will encounter trouble. At that time, their lives cannot be guaranteed."
Although Isekai Shokudo is a food show, it is impossible for it to have a scene of fighting and killing. But this is reality, and it is too naive to expect those adventurers from another world to have good tempers.
Xia Jia suggested: "Have you ever thought about selling the store?"
Shihua shook her head: "I have tried it. If I don't come here to open for business at 12 o'clock midnight, the business location will appear in the room I am in."
Xia Jia took a breath and said, "This is bound."
Shihua took out a bunch of gold and silver metal pieces from the drawer and continued:
"Yes, if you hadn't told me that you had been to another world to collect materials, I wouldn't have brought you here.
To be honest, I can no longer hold on, not only mentally but also financially. Although the guests will pay, the currency is this strange metal, which cannot be spent here.
Most of my current salary is spent on purchasing food for the store.”
Xia Jia fiddled with the gold coins and nodded frequently:
"After all, the gold in this world is Mora. It is said to be the flesh and blood of the devil, so it is normal that it is different. But speaking of it, gold is also a very rare magical material."
Xia Jia looked up at the door and asked curiously, "By the way, have you ever been to the world over there?"
Shihua shook his head and hit Xia Jia on the head with a spoon and said, "Are you crazy or am I crazy? It's okay in the store, but outside, I don't know if I can survive the night."
"Wow." Xia Jia walked to the door and pushed it open.
Outside were familiar cars and streets.
When Xiajia closed the door and reopened it, it turned into a grassland. You could even hear the faint howling of wolves.
Xia Jia glanced at Shihua and said, "I'm going to buy some oranges. Please don't move around here."
Shihua showed dead fish eyes: "Is it okay?"
Xia Jia patted his chest and said: "Please trust the professionals!"
As he spoke, he left a mark under his feet and pushed the door open to walk out.
Looking around, the grassland was pitch black at midnight, with only three bright moons hanging high in the sky.
"It's a genuine different world, but it shouldn't be Soharu and Chi's fault."
Xia Jia stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "But... the grassland is too grassy at the beginning. At least change to a more populated area."
He turned around and pushed open the door with the cat pattern again.
jingle.
"Sorry, we're closed," Touka said nervously.
When she saw Xia Jia, her tense nerves relaxed slightly.
"Sister Shihua, you get nervous too?"
"Isn't that a matter of course?" Touka crossed her arms and kept hitting the bar with the spatula.
"that……"
At this time, the third voice sounded.
Xia Jia felt goose bumps on his back. The voice was right behind him, but Xia Jia, who had a level 7 ability, didn't notice the person coming at all.
So strong! Who is this person?
Xia Jia turned around stiffly, with a nervous expression, and even Touka's face became tense.
When Xia Jia saw the person coming, he was stunned.
