Late night eatery in Yokohama

-Cream stew ([-])-

"The so-called likability is a soft weapon that can defeat a strong opponent"

——Natsume Soseki, "Poppy Grass"

To be honest, Cage Island Green is a little confused now.Subconsciously touched the remaining warmth on the side of her cheek, she let out a soft breath:

"Wu, Udon said it's hungry and I'll cook!" After that, she immediately hugged the fluffy but not chubby three-colored cat in her arms, sucked it contentedly, and then ran away.

Natsume Soseki's tail was about to straighten after being slapped all over the place: "...?" Huh?I ain't I don't!

Oh, I was escaped... Mori Ogai thought slightly regretfully.But how did this little girl get so lucky?Looking at the panicked back of Cageshima Green hiding in the back kitchen, he put his left hand into his pocket calmly, trying to open the phone.At the same time, Momiji Ozaki, who caught a glimpse of Mori Ogai's little action, twitched slightly...

"Don't worry too much...Boss, you know, no one can follow you here..."

The corners of her mouth rose gently, and the following words were replaced by a charming smile. So far, there is no need to say anything. The two mafia present are tacit to each other.

Let’s talk about tonight’s recipe: cream stew. According to the APP, this is a very traditional Japanese home-cooked dish, so the recipe is very simple.Cooking a large pot of cream stew late at night is very warm and happy whether it is paired with crunchy and soft French wheat baguettes or sticky white rice.

The stewing time passed quickly, and Mori Ogai, who was dazzled by the hot aroma of the stew, took the tray handed over by Midori Kageshima in a daze, probably because the man's poor expression management really made him As his teacher, Natsume Soseki couldn't stand it anymore, so the next second, the Sanhua cat jumped off the building block box on the side, unceremoniously stretched out the cat's paw, and pointed at the handsome face of his former student. scratch...

Sober up...you.Natsume Soseki thought that iron could not be made into steel.

"Meow..." After doing all this, it yelled in disgust and raised its limp tail to rub Cage Island Green's palm in an attempt to pass the test with cuteness——

...and then, it did succeed.

I always feel that this scene is a bit familiar... Thinking about it, Kageshima Midori hurriedly picked up Udon who had caused trouble while licking the cat while stammering and bowing and apologizing to Mori Ogai. Both Ozaki Momiji and Alice kept silent tacitly, as if they were pretending not to see their boss's expression that would scare a child into tears, and stared at the cream stew in the wooden bowl in front of them... .

In a tan wooden bowl with natural patterns, the creamy soup filled to the brim resembles the smooth ice cream ice cream that is so rich in color that it cannot be melted.The only difference is that the layer of thick creamy ripples that should have exuded a little bit of coolness is now slowly rising one after another, making people want to melt the mellow heat of the heart..... .

The white sauce sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper and salt is piled with chopped onions, carrots, broccoli, soaked crystal clear potato cubes, king oyster mushrooms and white mushrooms, clams, large slices coated with honey and Clove's fat and tender chicken thigh meat and crab meat are all kinds of fragrant and tender stews.Sweet and hot, they are mixed together in a steaming cream and butter soup, wrapped in a lingering sweetness that is mouth-watering.

...then here comes the problem.

Alice thought it didn't matter, but Koyo Ozaki wondered if she should wait for her boss to move the spoon before...?

Indeed, she herself can’t say no to all sweet and creamy dishes, especially this warm pot of creamy vegetable soup cooked by a soft and charming little girl... Well, it should be How to say it is more appropriate, probably because I feel the warm and healing color that is called from the bottom of my heart...

Thinking of this, Koyo Ozaki picked up the neatly placed wooden chopsticks and wooden spoons without hesitation. She first used the spoon to slowly dig a spoonful from a corner of the cream stew and brought it to her mouth——

"Hmm...it's a bit hot." She couldn't hold back, and exclaimed softly. The woman could clearly feel that the white and smooth creamy sauce in her mouth, like tofu, was extremely gentle at that moment. Wrapping the crispy and browned potato pieces, like a sandwich biscuit, this sauce that evenly blends the aroma of mushrooms will firmly seal the hot heat inside the stewed vegetables, together with the sweet and juicy The slices of meat melt together between the lips and teeth...

Seeing this, Alice's eyes lit up, who was poking and observing secretly, and then she couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, like a little fluffy squirrel, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" like a little furry squirrel, it's super satisfying!Almost at the same time, an incomparable sense of satisfaction slowly "overflowed" from her delicate little face: "... oh oh oh! Midori, your craftsmanship is awesome, Rintaro, tell me, Rintaro, hurry up Give me—return, God, la!"

"...It's really delicious." Ozaki Momiji couldn't help laughing out loud after swallowing the first mouthful, "It's so delicious that people like me can't help crying... I'm really sorry. I was a little bit emotional when I tasted this meal because I was looking forward to it."

Seeing that Cage Island Green's expression changed from joy to confusion and worry, the orange-red-haired woman raised her hand and gently wiped the wet corners of her eyes with her cuff, and smiled gracefully:

"Also, it reminds me of something that happened a long time ago... Now that I think about it, time flies so fast, although what I want to say next may be a bit offensive... But you...remind me A person..." A hateful smelly man who has long since disappeared from this world.

...so ironic.

When she said this, her curled long eyelashes were slightly retracted, casting a faint shadow on the eyelids.She was a little tired, and the sense of burnout that swept over her like a tidal wave slowly spread in her heart.

It's just that time is not forgiving, does Tanying Xingxing know that she can't go back to the past now and doesn't want to go back...

Cage Island Green stared blankly at the teardrop unconsciously falling from the corner of the other party's eyes, and his heart suddenly choked up.

""I hope...you won't forget, me and... will always protect you, wholeheartedly...you and...I will swear to the end. "The sea of ​​memory is slowly opening...

"...The dream will guide you in the right direction...it is also the shackle." The misty voice appears and disappears from time to time. "

who is it......?

Cage Island Green suddenly froze in place.

Feeling a blurry memory suddenly appeared in her mind, she hastily lowered her head for fear that the few people in front of her would notice. The confusion in her heart was like an impenetrable cloud rolling and unwinding in the ups and downs of the mountains.

...Also, the phrase "dreams are shackles" Mr. Ranpo also said, whether, he will know something...?At this moment, the little girl seemed to see hope.

The big deal is to gamble, it will be tomorrow...!She makes a fist.
