The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 140: Uesugi Yue: Young people should exercise moderation (two in one)

The brightly lit environment illuminates the surroundings regardless of the time conditions of day or night. The hustle and bustle of city tourists crush the interwoven light and shadows. Cars flow like water and horses run like dragons. The cool breeze blows away the thick smell of fireworks, and intermittent transmission of daily conversations or nonsensical gossip with a tone as bland as boiled water is transmitted.

"Thank you for your patronage. Please take care. This is the young master's business card with contact information. Please be sure to accept it."

"You're welcome. Miss... Sakura, please remember to thank Gen-san for me."

It was night time at this time. The Zhou family members headed by Emiya said goodbye to the gangsters headed by Yabuki Sakura. Then this group of hospitable Tokyo gangsters turned around and left. The men, women, and children passing by saw these groups of tattooed men in black, and thought they were going to collect debts or have a fight, so they dodged away with fear on their faces.

Emiya and several members of the Zhou family also left separately. The Zhou family members took a car back to the hotel to pack up and prepare to return to Shenzhou, but Emiya refused their special car pick-up and planned to take the JR line back to Yokohama. After all, he still had to wait to meet up with Nono and others who were still wandering around, and it was too troublesome to wait.

At this time, Emiya didn't know that there were two groups of people who were guessing their "true identities" at the same time...

If I knew, I would definitely say, you guys are really dramatic...

Before this, he had readily accepted the invitation after Gen Chisei left, and accepted the company of his secretary Yabuki Sakura, and continued his schedule for this afternoon.

Halfway through, Yabuki Sakura asked Emiya that if he was not satisfied, he could end the arrangement at any time and did not need to care about the family's opinion. This was just a friendly exchange. Emiya thought that since Gen Chisei took the initiative to invite him to play for free, it would be a waste not to play...

After agreeing to it, he further realized the wealth of this Tokyo family.

In this almost customized high-end tour, Emiya first visited Shinjuku Gyoen, a top garden area in the heart of Tokyo.

Next, we arrived at the Tokyo Racecourse, which has attracted a lot of attention from horse racing enthusiasts. We watched a derby (Tokyo Best) and saw the famous horse "Hawaiian King" win and break the venue record of the renovated Tokyo Racecourse.

Finally, we went to Kabukiza in Ginza and watched a play called "Yoshitsune Thousand Cherry Blossoms" starring veteran masters such as Nakamura Kankuro. This is an international theater, and there are English subtitle translation machines and detailed English guides inside the theater so that foreign tourists can enjoy Kabuki without obstacles.

As the name of the play suggests, "Yoshitsune Thousand Cherry Blossoms" is based on the legend of "Minamoto Yoshitsune" (nickname: Ushiwakamaru), and actually presents the story of the Genpei War. This play is listed as one of the three famous kabuki works along with "Kana Tehon Chushingura" and "Sugawara Denshu Tekikan", and is considered a well-known classic story.

It's just that Emiya was not very familiar with these Kabuki actors. He had hurriedly seen a few promotional posters of "Kabuki superstar" Ichikawa Ebizo, "outstanding female actor representative" Bando Tamasaburo, and "rising star" Kazama Ruri in front of the hall of Kabuki-za... all of them were unfamiliar names and faces.

In addition to other itinerary items, after half a day of sightseeing, Emiya felt that his brain had been bombarded with a large amount of local cultural input. In a trance, he almost thought that he was being influenced to become a "Tokyoer" with a sense of superiority...

(This specifically refers to a joke about the regional contempt chain of "everything outside Tokyo is rural")
Wow, Yuan Zhisheng’s daily pastimes are so high-end.

call--

Finally, with the cool night breeze blowing, Emiya, who had been running around all day, finally woke up.

Well, the prosperity of Tokyo is none of my business after all. People in Yokohama know their own business. And after walking for so long, I have almost covered most of Tokyo. Emiya decided to find a place nearby to eat something and end this trip hastily.

The sidewalks are still bustling with people, including office workers in neat suits, young couples chatting and laughing, and foreign tourists with strange clothing styles, all walking and releasing their endless energy.

Shirou originally thought of finding a place nearby as a meeting point with Nono and the others, but when he thought about the high-profile feeling of several people gathering together before, which attracted everyone's attention, he decided to go to a smaller place with less popularity.

He walked several streets in a row and finally came to the side of a small street block. A wooden van parked there and the aroma of ramen wafting from it attracted him.

This kind of human-powered cart is similar to the mobile street food stalls in China, but this one is designed specifically for selling ramen from door to door. The ramen chef operates the cart, the soup pot and ingredients are neatly placed on the chopping board, the windows can be opened to serve as a rain shelter, and there are several small wooden stools under the shed.

Guests can sit on wooden stools to eat noodles, with a dark blue cloth canopy hanging down to cover the guests' upper bodies and create a private atmosphere.

Emiya picked up the phone, "Hello, I'm just about to eat some ramen, where are you guys? ...Oh, you guys are coming too? I'm in... This is the small street behind the University of Tokyo, it's quite quiet and not many people around. If you see a ramen van, that's where I am."

I called Xia Mi and Nuonuo in succession. Nuonuo was helping Melyuchina recite the text according to the evening study schedule and said she would come over soon. Xia Mi said she was going to stay in the public reading room of the library for a while to study late at night and was very hungry, so she wanted to come over to eat ramen...

I give up. The taste and environment of this street food are far inferior to those in the restaurant. It’s just for the sake of cheapness. Why are you all rushing to come here?
"Master, five bowls of soy sauce ramen first, with chopped green onions, barbecued pork, tamago (soft-boiled egg), and pork back fat. I have some friends coming over later."

Emiya lifted the cloth curtain and sat down, then spoke to a ramen chef who had neat white hair standing up, wore a white linen work suit, and had a black towel tied around his forehead.

The ramen chef first pressed the button on the 14-inch color TV above the soup pot to turn off the TV screen before getting up to work.

Emiya had good eyesight. Before that, he quickly turned his head to take a look and saw the figure of a naked woman with her breasts puffed out and her buttocks sticking out flashed across the screen. He looked again and found a pile of AV discs on the shelf in the corner. On the top was a picture of Maria Ozawa wearing a bathrobe that squeezed her breasts into a clear shape.

Guigui, you are a ramen chef but you are also a shameless old man at heart.

The ramen chef had sharp eyes and seemed to have noticed the change in Emiya's expression, but the old man didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Young man, you've made plans with your classmates to hang out so late, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to go back to the dormitory after the curfew?"

The old man seemed to have mistaken Emiya for a poor student who had wandered out of the University of Tokyo. He was stirring the soup pot with a focused expression, and the thin white noodles were bubbling irregularly in the boiling water.

"I'm not a student. I just arrived in Tokyo today and have a date with some friends. What's your name, Master?"

"Oh, is that so? Just call me Master Yue! This time I finally met a rare wave of new customers. I have been cooking for decades, and most of the food I serve is for students from the University of Tokyo. They just want good quality and low prices. People from other places think that expensive things in Tokyo are good products, so few of them would sneak into the alleys and corners to buy them..."

"Master, what did you do before?"

"I'm just a scoundrel who gave up and didn't want to inherit the family fortune. There's nothing worth pursuing about this past... Five servings of ramen are ready. Just wait. When will your friend come?"

Because you don't want to inherit billions of dollars, so you run out and make ramen for the rest of your life, right?

Emiya thought about it, but finally resisted the urge to ask the ramen chef whether he really watched AV discs when he had nothing to do.

"...Actually, I'm going to eat all five bowls of noodles. My friend will be coming over later, so I'll have to trouble the chef to make some more."

"You kid...you have such a good appetite?" Master Yue paused, staring with wide eyes at the young man in front of him who had nothing to do with a fat belly. He didn't expect that he was a hidden big eater?
Forget it. They are paying customers anyway. It’s none of my business how much they eat.

A moment later, a big bowl of hot ramen was served on the table. Master Yue saw Emiya moving his chopsticks very quickly and swallowing the thin noodles and side dishes into his stomach. After he sipped a mouthful of the soup, he started to quickly finish the second bowl.

When Emiya was eating his fourth bowl, a jumping figure appeared like bright moonlight and jumped onto the seat next to him. A smile as bright as a summer flower radiated vitality. "Oh, you're eating already, brother Emiya? You didn't realize I'm here to wait for you! Master, give me a bowl of tonkotsu ramen too!"

"okay!"

Master Yue, with his head lowered, put the noodles into the wok at the speed of a professional ramen maker. Then he subconsciously raised his eyes and saw a radiant, crystal clear, fair, and perfect face that was almost "metamorphosis". Even Master Yue, who had seen countless women for many years, was stunned for a moment.

"You're great, young man. You actually got such a top-notch girlfriend. This old man like me has really broadened his horizons." Master Yue must have been a dissolute playboy or a street hooligan in his early years, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken in the tone of a genuine old pervert.

Emiya nearly choked as he slurped his noodles, "Master Yue, don't just say that!"

"What, so senior brother asked me here in order to seduce me?" Xia Mi raised the corners of her mouth, revealing two small fangs, and crossed her slender arms in front of her ordinary chest as a defensive gesture.

"On the surface, you don't care about me, but in fact, you have a lot of admiration hidden in your heart. So you plan to confess your love to me, your junior sister, while Senior Sister Nono is away?... How cute (oh kawaii so much)~"

"Don't cooperate with Master Yue to add to my drama!"

Emiya thought, can I eat this last bowl of noodles properly? "... Senior Sister?" Master Yue caught a glimpse of something wrong.

After a few seconds, a fashionable and beautiful red-haired girl came with a white-haired young loli and sat on the other side of Emiya.

Oh wow.

Master Yue's eyes became subtle. One with three? Young man, you should be restrained when picking up girls.

"Master, serve us... eight bowls of ramen, with the same side dishes as the one next to you!"

Nono estimated his and Melyuchina's appetite and quickly ordered.

Then she lowered her head and looked past Emiya at Xia Mi, who was sitting on the table on the other side, holding her cheeks with her hands and waiting for the ramen to be served.

"When I came over just now, you seemed to be laughing very happily, Junior Sister Xia Mi, what are you laughing at? Do you mind if I come and listen?"

"Hmm?" Xia Mi moved her slender fingers together and covered her mouth, as if she was trying hard to suppress the naughty smile that kept coming up in her. "Wow, do you really want me to tell you? Actually, actually, just now-"

"Wait a minute, don't--" Emiya put down the ramen bowl again. He realized it but it seemed too late.

"——Just now, Senior Brother Emiya confessed his feelings to me! Just now, you wouldn't have thought that Senior Brother is so close to the hot and generous Senior Sister Nono on the surface, but in fact, he is the type of person who admires and likes the cute Junior Sister who acts cute and coquettish in his heart!"

Xia Mi covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, her eyes flashing cunningly under her long eyelashes, and the high ponytail tied behind her head swayed back and forth in coordination with her smile.

"..."

Nuonuo seemed to be shocked by these amazing words, and suddenly seemed to have suffered a great blow. Her eyes swept across Emiya and Xia Mi who were sitting together, and seemed to associate it with something that seemed to have happened between the two of them at Emiya's residence that she didn't know about...

Emiya thought that with Nono's intelligence and sharpness, she should be able to see that this was an obvious joke, but Nono...

It was totally different from her usual hot temper. She didn't start a quarrel just to refute him. You know, at other times, Nuonuo should have started a high pitched battle with any guy who tried to provoke her for three hundred rounds to defend her three-dimensional defense circle.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, Xia Mi is just joking!"

Emiya couldn't stand it anymore, so he reached out and patted Nono's shoulder, trying to dispel the depressed mood that was inexplicably lingering around her.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I didn't think much about it." Nuonuo held the chopsticks between his fingers and listlessly fiddled with the long and thin strips of ramen in the bowl.

Nonsense, your expression clearly shows that you are overthinking it!

"?"

Melyuchina ate mouthful after mouthful of ramen from her big bowl. She looked at the weird interaction between the few people with a little confusion, but she really found it difficult to understand.

Finally, she blinked her eyes and suddenly remembered the triangle relationship between Lancelot, Guinevere and King Arthur that she had read in the book. The chaotic thoughts in her mind finally gained a bit of clarity.

Hey, the man, the woman, and the mistress. It seems like if we put them in the right place, they will match up...

It turns out that human emotional relationships are triangles! Triangular relationships are the most stable geometric structure!
Melusina suddenly had an epiphany, and she thought she had learned something from her studies during this period and had applied it to practice, and had realized some truth of the world.

As for Master Yue, who had stayed out of the matter, he was quietly making ramen and stirring the soup pot with a smile on his face, not saying a word.

He was satisfied, as he had earned business and had watched a good show.

"It's good to be young... Really good, really good, playing with three people at once, and even deliberately arranged for the three of them to be together, laying the situation out in the open. I think you have big plans, young man, are you planning to play with the three of you at the same time?"

Master Yue was secretly giving a thumbs up in his heart, admiring Emiya's "big picture", while a heavy low pressure was gradually lingering between the few people.

Emiya had to put down his chopsticks. He really couldn't finish the last bite of ramen... The atmosphere alone made it difficult for him to swallow.

"Xia Mi, don't make such jokes next time. Look at Nuo Nuo's expression..."

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Xia Mi stuck out her tongue, the pink shape pulling out a few saliva threads between her lips, and said embarrassedly, “I didn’t expect Senior Sister to react so strongly. Next time, I’ll try not to make confession jokes that would embarrass Senior Brother Emiya!”

But the ramen master suddenly spoke up and gave a different opinion:

"What's so shameful about confessing? People grow up with shame. You young people are in your best years now. If you don't try to be with the person you love most, it will be a pity, right?"

Master Yue felt that the time had come, and decided to put aside his attitude of being a reclusive master and offer a small assist.

"Although you are from other places, I don't think you are poor students from the countryside. When you are older, you may have the opportunity to work in a large company in Shinjuku District, or even become a big shot if you become more prosperous. From the south side of Ginza Street to the north side of the street, all the buildings and land on the east and west sides will be yours..."

“But at that time, when you, who are no longer young, walk to the French windows of the building and look out at the sea of people, you will still be unable to help but think of your lively and youthful days now. You were clearly living a happy life but failed to seize the opportunity. Just because you were too proud and afraid of being embarrassed, you gave up the opportunity to grasp your own happiness to others…”

"You're going to regret this, right?"

Master Yue stared at the soup pot calmly, and spoke of his experience in the tone of a veteran. Any ordinary listener would be unable to help but think of himself many years later, imagining himself at that time, recalling the past glorious years...

High, really high.

After savoring it for a while, Nono, whose thoughts were drawn, was the first to look up.

"Master Yue, you are right, absolutely right!"

Her heart was burning with fire, her eyes were gleaming with light, she was like a frozen traveler who had just been fed a bellyful of hot chicken soup for the soul in the cold weather, a refreshing warmth running through her body...

The little witch Nono should not shrink back, she should attack bravely with great courage!
"That's right, Master. I understand it too!"

Xia Mi actually joined in the fun, clapping and praising Master Yue's speech. I really don't know what she was thinking - but the answer was soon revealed:
"Brother, did you hear me? You don't cherish such a beautiful sister in front of you. When you really lose her, you will regret it~"

"You're almost there!"

"Oh, I understand too!" The white-haired, childish girl on the other side of Nono shouted loudly.

Emiya glared and saw that Melyuchina was also listening. No, do you understand?
Melyusina turned around, smiled brightly, and raised her fingers to make a "three" sign to Emiya.

"Huh?" What's the secret code you're using here?
