This boring world without comics

Not right.

Very wrong.

Mori Ogai and Jiang Hao bought a bunch of things from the supermarket and went home, but after Jiang Hao entered the kitchen, all kinds of strange things began to happen frequently.

First, Mori Ogai saw Jiang Hao peeling the potatoes, but he put the discarded skins into the bowl, but the peeled potatoes were thrown into the trash can.Fortunately, they bought more things, otherwise the dish of beef and potatoes might be gone at night.

Originally thought this was a small mistake, but the result was even more outrageous yet to come.

Mori Ogai could not count the number of times this was the first time he smelled the burning smell, which never happened in normal times!

There are also various sounds of throwing pots and bowls coming from the kitchen, ping-pong-pong, like a war.

Is this meal really still edible today?

Mori Ogai asked the question from the bottom of his heart.

Besides this meal, Sen Owai was also very curious about what happened to Jiang Hao?

From going home to the supermarket to selling the goods to returning home, nothing happened along the way, even Mori Ogai couldn't analyze what happened to Jiang Hao without knowing anything.

Maybe I can only ask him when I have dinner later.

***

The last dish was brought to the table.

Jiang Hao spent nearly an afternoon preparing in the kitchen.

"Rintaro has eaten."

In fact, there was no need for Jiang Hao to shout at all, Mori Ogai was already waiting beside him.

Apart from the ones he said he particularly liked, there were many dishes on the table that he hadn't seen before.

Mori Ogai is not a person who is particularly obsessed with food, but he has been here for more than a month. He has fully realized the profound food culture, and at the same time understands how wasteful the restaurants in Yokohama Chinatown are now.

He picked up a piece of braised lion's head with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth expectantly, hoping that what awaited him was still the familiar taste.

When Mori Ogai ate this dish for the first time, he hardly fell asleep that night. He went through all the restaurants in Yokohama in his mind, thinking about where else he could eat this dish. A dish, but after thinking about it, the result is a big word:

--none.

There is no restaurant in Yokohama that can eat this!

However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

The minced meat was dry, and there were broken bones inside. It tasted very salty in one bite and light in the other, obviously not evenly mixed with the salt.

If it weren't for his excellent facial muscle control ability, Mori Ogai's expression would almost collapse.

How is this going?

Mori Ogai raised his head and looked at Jiang Hao who was sitting opposite.

Jiang Hao is also eating the same dish, his eyes are empty, the eyes that usually shine like obsidian are now dull and dull.The body mechanically sends the food into the mouth to chew and swallow, as if the taste of the food has not been transmitted to the brain through the tongue coating.

It was really strange.

It's okay to think that the braised lion's head tastes a bit strange, just eat something else.

however.

——Other dishes are also unpalatable!

If you can give up your image, Mori Ogai really wants to hold himself and cry now.

He is really looking forward to it....

Along with the disappointment, Mori Ogai's temper gradually turned up.

He must have been right in the port mafia, and the whole kitchen was shaking when the food was not to his taste.

Seeing Mori Ogai put down his chopsticks, Jiang Hao asked, "What's wrong? Is it not delicious?"

"It's just... there may be a part of it..." Mori Ogai was about to express the taste problem tactfully, when he suddenly saw Jiang Hao's hand.

On the back of Jiang Hao's hand, there was an obvious purple spot.

Mori Ogai asked, "What happened to your hand?"

"Hands?" Jiang Hao put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at his hands.

At this time, Mori Owai saw that apart from the one on the back of his hand, there were still some cut knife marks on his fingers, and some of the scars had turned white after being cut because they were not treated in time and were stained with water.

"It got hot while the soup was being stewed, it's okay, it's normal for cooking." Jiang Hao didn't take it seriously, "I don't know what's wrong today, I'm messy."

Jiang Hao's hand was that of a painter, with long, clean fingers. The scalds and knife marks on his hand formed a stark contrast with his fair skin, which was very dazzling.

Mori Ogai couldn't be said to be moved, but seeing Jiang Hao's injured upper wound felt very unpleasant.

He stood up from his seat in a jerk, walked quickly to the kitchen, and came back with a box.

"Let me see." It was like a question, but Mori Ogai had already grabbed Jiang Hao's scalded hand.

What Mori Ogai took out from the dining room was a first aid kit, which was prepared by Jiang Hao in order to prevent such patients from falling at the door again.

"Let's eat first, I'm fine." Jiang Hao was embarrassed to bother others so much, he tried to pull his hand back, but failed after several attempts.

"obedient."

"..."

The word "obedient" seemed to have some kind of special magic power, which instantly sealed Jiang Hao's actions.

Mori Ogai skillfully checked the wound first, then cleaned it with normal saline, and finally applied the medicine.

Mori Ogai has not treated someone's wounds like this for a long time since he became the boss of the port mafia.

Mori Ogai tried his best to be fast and meticulous in the process of applying the medicine, but he could still feel Jiang Hao's hand trembling slightly, which should still be a little painful.

Moments later, Mori Ogai put a Band-Aid on the last scratch, announcing the end of the treatment.

"Remember not to get in the water for a short time." Mori Ogai also reminded.

"Okay, remember, thank you Lin Taro." Jiang Hao looked at his hands and sighed, "As expected of a doctor, the technique is neat."

"Ha...ha..." Mori Ogai laughed dryly, "Jiang Haojun's first aid kit is well prepared, which is why I have the opportunity to use it."

After the wound was healed, Jiang Hao remembered that what he said just now seemed to be halfway through: "By the way, what happened to the food you said just now?"

"Ah, no, nothing, it's delicious." To prove that what he said was true, Mori Ogai ate a few big mouthfuls.

Jiang Hao couldn't see through Mori Ogai's acting skills, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I've finished eating, I'll clean up after you put it over there."

After speaking, Jiang Hao went directly to the study on the second floor.

Mori Ogai didn't say anything, but he could clearly see that something was wrong with Jiang Hao.Not to mention that he ate less than usual, in the past even after eating, he would sit together and continue chatting, and there would never be such a situation where he left alone.

So what is it?

***

This question lasted until night, and Mori Ogai could not find the answer.

They didn't communicate much after dinner and said goodnight to each other before going to bed.

Late at night, Mori Ogai came out of the room and gently opened the study where Jiang Hao slept.After looking around, he finally settled on a newspaper on the desk.

Mori Ogai went to check the receipts they bought in the supermarket just now, and found that besides the ingredients, there was a Sakura Daily. I am afraid this is the source of Jiang Hao's abnormality after returning home.

Taking the newspaper back to his own sleeping room, Mori Ogai flipped through the newspaper page by page, trying to find out any valuable information.But from the beginning to the end, it was either some neon high-ranking officials being corrupted, or some celebrities being photographed at the entrance of the hotel. There seemed to be no valuable clues at all.

At the end, Mori Ogai suddenly realized something, he didn't seem to have seen any serial comics?

In order to confirm his conjecture, he carefully read it again from the beginning to the end, and indeed he did not see any trace of the manga.

finished?

No, it should be said that it was stopped.

Then it can explain Jiang Hao's abnormal situation clearly.

After more than a month, Mori Ogai has not said a word, and he has figured out all the information about Jiang Hao.Jiang Hao only has two sources of income, one is the daily fee of [-] yen for serial comics, and some illustrations he sells, but the income from illustrations is not as stable as that of serial comics.

Knowing the reason, Mori Ogai can guess the general reason.

Mori Ogai just wanted to say one thing?

Really that's it?

This kind of trivial matter can be solved with a phone call——

and many more.

Why should I help him?

Whether it was the jade pendant incident during the day or just about to find someone to communicate with the Sakura News, Mori Ogai suddenly realized that he was paying too much attention to Jiang Hao's person?

He obviously could have a simpler and better way, such as giving him a few million directly after he left.But I chose to help him get rid of the owner of the shop and contact the people in the Sakura Newspaper to let them continue to serialize Jiang Hao's comics...

why?

Why does it become like this?

It's like when I was eating today, when I saw those hands that were injured from cooking, Mori Ogai wanted to give feedback that the food was not delicious, but he couldn't say it when it came to his mouth.

If it continues, maybe only by killing him with his own hands, all these unusual things will really stop.

But Mori Ogai didn't want to.

He put the newspaper back on the table untouched, as if nothing had happened.

People in the deep darkness cannot see the light, because once they see it, they can never go back to the original world.

They are people from different worlds.

Maybe we should really leave.
