Why is the Demon King like this?

The eel restaurant is located on the third floor of a building in a nearby shopping street. Go up the narrow staircase and you'll see signs for the restaurant, GG, and the restaurant name on the sign.

"Flying Eel"

"Wandering among the white clouds and the vast sky, every inch is fresh and delicious. Turn left on the third floor and you will arrive."

"Are we really okay if we don't go?"

"What could be wrong?"

"Hmm..." Arisugawa Asuka blinked, and said guiltily, "Like some bad guesses."

"Rumors? Bad?"

Keisuke Ao shook his head: "My thoughts have changed again these days. Faced with rumors, should I be so concerned about these powerless words? Should I change my actions because of them?"

I initially thought resolving the problem would be a good thing, but now it seems that's not entirely the case.

"Huh?" Arisugawa Asuka asked, puzzled.

Keisuke Ao pressed his chest: "Going against one's own will is unpleasant."

"Is that the kind of person Qinggui is?"

Upon arriving at the store, the waiter immediately and warmly welcomed us inside. There happened to be a table available, located against the wall. Looking out the window, we could see a bustling commercial street with throngs of pedestrians below.

Because it was Friday, the eel restaurant was full of students and adults. The two of them remained calm and ignored the subtle stares from their surroundings. It was only when they tried to take pictures that Ao Keisuke caused them some trouble.

When ordering, the usual choice is four pieces of eel from Keisuke Ao, while Asuka Arisugawa gets one piece.

Keisuke Ao glanced at the menu and, noticing there were other dishes available, ordered two more of their signature recommended dishes.

"I wonder how the eel rice at this place tastes!" Asuka Arisugawa said expectantly.

"It is said that the sauce has a unique flavor that gives you the feeling of flying in the sky."

"Huh? I can't imagine what it tastes like..."

"yes."

When we finished ordering, Yuki sent a message to Keisuke Ao in the morning:

"Qinggui-kun???"

Where are you guys???

"Everyone has ordered!"

After thinking for a moment, Aokiji suddenly raised his hand, took a picture of Arisugawa Asuka, and sent it to her.

"Huh? What are you doing, Qinggui-kun?"

"Tell them we're not going this morning."

"what……"

Upon hearing this, Arisugawa Asuka felt it was best to keep it a secret from her best friend, but seeing Ao Keisuke's enthusiastic expression, she was speechless and could only bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.

"Hanmichi and Arisugawa are here for eel rice, do you want to come?"

"Ugh!? Damn it!"

Yuki really wanted to come in the morning, but she didn't want to ruin her best friend's plans, so she just secretly sent Arisugawa a fist emoji to cheer her on.

"I've already ordered a super-sized ice cream, you guys would be missing out if you didn't come! And let me tell you, Nakagawa lost a game and was punished by having to perfectly recreate Beast Senpai's lines!"

"Isn't that a reward?" Qing Guijie asked sincerely.

"Hmm... Nakagawa, he shouldn't be that cunning, right?"

"That's true."

In the morning, Yuki was able to chat with Keisuke Ao and Arisugawa all by herself, while also taking care of the photography tasks for the event.

When it comes to gossip and joking around, her single-threaded thought process seems to be unleashed, completely entering her area of ​​expertise.

Asuka Arisugawa hurriedly replied, unable to cope with Yuki's ambiguous attitude and words from earlier that morning.

Only after the eel rice was served did Keisuke Ao hold down her phone and say, "Take a picture of the eel rice for her, then ignore her."

"Hmm... okay."

Arisugawa glanced at him, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Keisuke Ao hadn't seen his chat.

"Don't mind Yuki's nonsense, Qinggui-kun. She always likes to say things that don't make sense."

"For example?" Keisuke Ao asked as he opened the box.

"this……"

How did Arisugawa Asuka know what Yuki sent to Ao Keisuke that morning?

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said playfully, "I have no interest in gossiping about others behind their backs."

"what……"

These are the words I once said to Arisugawa.

Keisuke Ao nodded—putting aside his idea of ​​sharing Yuto Nakagawa's video of imitating Beast Senpai with Arisugawa.

His attention shifted to the eel rice in the lacquered box in front of him. The strong, sizzling aroma was irresistible, making his mouth water.

"Let's eat first then."

During the meal, Keisuke Ao chatted with Arisugawa about the book he was reading that afternoon.

Unsurprisingly, Arisugawa Asuka had already read the book and gave it a higher rating than Hoshino.

"After all, it was a work that won the grand prize at the press conference! It was a very prestigious work at the time."

The world now seems to be in a state where the further back in time we go, the greater the literary works become. If we only look at the time of the events (the turn of the century), it can indeed add some respectable depth to the works.

We talked about this book until Keisuke Ao finished eating three pieces of eel, and then Yuki sent them a message in the morning asking if they wanted to go to the second show.

They said they were going to take the tram to a fun amusement park in a nearby shopping mall, which has many novel machines and is a popular spot for internet celebrities to take photos.

Aoki asked a question, and seeing Arisugawa shake his head, he immediately rejected Hayashi Yuki's invitation.

"What are you planning to do after you finish eating, Qinggui-kun?" Arisugawa asked.

She had already finished eating the eel, with a little sauce on the corner of her mouth.

"I haven't started thinking about it yet."

Keisuke Ao pointed to his mouth, reminding her to wipe it off with a towel.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

"Ah... thank you, then..."

Arisugawa Asuka paused for a moment, then continued softly, "Could you come with me to buy something?"

"Want to buy something? Sure, I need to bring some things back home too."

"Really? That's great!"

A cute smile appeared on Arisugawa's face, and his eyebrows and eyes narrowed.

"What does Arisugawa want to buy?"

"Hmm~ It's a secret!"

"I see."

"Qinggui-kun, you can't do that!" The girl pouted and frowned, looking a little angry.

"It's okay, buy me a milk tea later."

Arisugawa complained, "Really..."

Aoki asked her where she planned to buy it, and Arisugawa thought for a moment and suggested that she go to a shopping mall near the apartment.

"This way, I can go straight home after buying it, without having to carry it around all the time."

Keisuke Aokiji readily agreed. He needed to prepare ingredients for the late-night snack, as well as the dishes that Hanako 7274 had specially ordered, and he also needed to replenish some supplies at home, so being close to home was naturally the best option.

"Let's go then."

The two walked through the shopping street and went to wait for the subway together.

While waiting, Arisugawa asked curiously, "Seikei-kun, do you really not like playing basketball? You're still able to make it to the national tournament at this time."

"Hmm, that's a waste of time."

"Eh... so that's the reason!"

After thinking for a moment, Aokiji asked, "Would Arisugawa really take the time to praise a book that isn't even that good?"

"Well... I think I understand what Qinggui is thinking."

Keisuke lightly patted Arisugawa Asuka's head twice, then quickly withdrew his hand, making the girl think it was just her imagination.

She heard the boy beside her say, "That's wonderful."

The tone was light and cheerful.

At that moment, the train was making its way forward with a roar.
