My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Eriri took the menu but didn't open it to look at it right away. Instead, she asked, "Asakura, do you speak Chinese?"

"Yeah, didn't I say that?"

Eriri shook her head.

Asakura Feng then realized that he seemed to have never said that, so he explained: "My mother was a foreign language major in college. In addition to English, she also took Chinese as an elective. Later, she went to China as an international student for a year. I grew up in a trilingual environment. I can speak both Chinese and English."

"That's amazing. I only know a few simple sentences like that."

Eriri looked at Asakura Kaede with admiration and found that there was indeed a gap between people. The other party could speak two foreign languages ​​now, while she, a British mixed-race, could not even learn English well.

"By the way, did the lady boss look at me and say anything?"

Meeting Eriri's curious gaze, Asakura Feng chuckled and said, "I asked you if you were my classmate, and praised you for being beautiful."

"Hehe, so that's it." Ying Lili smiled embarrassedly, opened the menu and started looking.

At the table next to them, there were two young ladies eating. After listening to the conversation between Asakura Kaede and Eriri, they covered their mouths and chuckled.

Obviously, these two were also international students. After hearing the conversation between Asakura Kaede and the proprietress when they first came in, they almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Asakura Feng looked at the two young ladies helplessly and decided to speak in a low voice.

At this moment, Ying Lili also finished flipping through the menu, and then pointed to a dish on it and said, "Asakura Asakura, this pickled fish, is it delicious?"

“It’s delicious, a little bit spicy, but the main flavor is the pickled cabbage.”

“Then I’ll order this!”

Ying Lili immediately decided to order a pickled fish first. She had just read the entire menu and found that many of the dishes were bright red, which she could obviously not eat.

Although she insisted that she could eat spicy food before coming, Eriri obviously didn't expect that the spicy food Asakura Kaede asked about was this kind of spicy food.

Asakura Feng also noticed that Eriri was a little scared, so he took the menu and called the proprietress over.

"Madam, one pickled fish, one pot-fried pork, one boiled cabbage, and two bowls of chicken tofu." Asakura Feng finally chose not to torture Eriri. After ordering several normal dishes in a row, Asakura Feng looked at Eriri and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Cola!"

Asakura Kaede smiled and knew this would be the answer.

"Two more bottles of Coke."

After a few orders were placed, the proprietress smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."

The proprietress went to ask her husband to prepare the food, and Eriri was now swaying from side to side, beginning to look forward to today's lunch.

Chapter 38 Let’s Die Together (Please Collect!!!)

Two bottles of Coke were delivered quickly, still in glass bottles with two straws inserted.

After taking a sip comfortably, Eriri looked at Asakura Kaede across from her and asked, "Asakura, do you eat here often?"

"My parents brought me here before. They were the first to discover it. My dad often travels to neighboring countries for work. If I happen to be on vacation, my mom will take me to play. I also go to China often. Comparing the two places, the food here is very authentic. I come here more and more often."

"Oh! Traveling abroad."

Eriri thought for a moment and said, "I'm not that interested. Flying back and forth is so tiring. My mom has been to China and she said it's much more fun there than in China."

"That's true. After all, Japan is a small place with a lot of people. I've been to almost every place I could go since I was a kid."

Asakura Feng also said with emotion: "Let's not talk about Mount Fuji. Okinawa, Hokkaido, Nara and the like are no longer new. In the end, I found that staying at home is the most interesting, and occasionally going out for exercise is enough."

"Are you too much of a homebody?"

"At least I'll go out and exercise, kickboxing or something like that. Will you exercise on your own accord, Eriri?"

Eriri looked at Asakura Kaede's healthy body, then looked at her own thin arms and legs, and said angrily: "Beautiful girls don't know how to exercise, don't know? I don't want to have muscles!"

Asakura Kaede would not really ask Eriri to exercise. After all, this kind of thing depends on self-consciousness, and forcing someone is useless.

After a while, the proprietress came over with a tray.

"Pot-fried pork and chicken tofu pudding are here!"

The steaming sweet and sour pork was placed on the table, along with two bowls of white tofu-like "tofu pudding".

After thanking the proprietress, she first glanced at the temptingly shiny sweet and sour pork, then looked down at the small bowl in front of her and asked, "Asakura, what is this? Is it tofu? Isn't it chicken tofu pudding? Where's the chicken?"

“This piece in the bowl is chicken.”

"Ugh?"

Ying Lili was a little dumbfounded. Why did it look like a block of tofu?

The lady boss who was standing by also smiled and said, "It's chicken. Chicken tofu is a traditional Sichuan dish. Its specialty is that it uses meat to create a vegetarian look, so you can't tell there's any meat in it."

"That sounds amazing! And Sichuan? I thought Sichuan food was all spicy. I'm going to eat!"

Picking up the spoon, Ying Lili scooped a little and put it into her mouth. Her eyes immediately widened: "Delicious! It tastes so fresh!"

Seeing Eriri eating so happily, the lady boss also smiled happily, then came close to Asakura Kaede and whispered, "What a cute girl, just looking at her like this makes people like her."

Eriri looked up and saw the proprietress and Asakura Kaede talking about something, but unfortunately it was in Chinese again.

The proprietress didn't say much, and quickly went to the kitchen to bring up the other dishes. Finally, we could start eating.

After delivering two bowls of rice, the proprietress said, "Xiao Feng, when the weather gets hot, our restaurant will start making hot pot. Remember to come and eat then. The ingredients are all airlifted in and are the most authentic."

"Is hot pot finally going to be available?" As soon as Asakura Feng heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed, "No problem, I will definitely come and patronize you then."

"Then you guys eat first, and tell me if you need anything."

After the lady boss left, Ying Lili swallowed the sweet and sour pork in her mouth and asked curiously, "Eating hot pot in summer? Really? Isn't it very hot?"

"What's this?"

Asakura Feng picked up a piece of fish fillet and ate it. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let me ask you, in the summer when you are in your room, you will definitely turn on the air conditioner, right? Then will you turn the air conditioner down and play games wrapped in a blanket? Why would you turn it on if you are afraid of the cold?"

"..."

Ying Lili thought about it and reluctantly agreed. Regardless of what it feels like to eat hot pot in summer, there are always many confusing human behaviors.

Asakura Feng smiled and said, "Since you are so curious, why don't you come and try the hot pot when it's ready? The goods here are all airlifted here. I guarantee that the traditional Sichuan hot pot is completely different from the so-called hot pot you had in the past, not to mention Sukiyaki."

"Hmm...Would that be spicy?"

Ying Lili sniffed. The pickled fish in front of her was enough to overwhelm her. If it were an authentic hotpot, she would probably feel exhausted after finishing it.

Seeing Eriri being curious but not daring to try, Asakura Feng smiled happily: "It's okay, you should be brave enough to try everything, and Eriri, didn't you say you can handle spicy food? Just drink some yogurt to neutralize the spiciness when the time comes."

Can eat spicy food......

Ying Lili found that she really couldn't hold on any longer and she got herself into trouble.

There was no other way, so I could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, let's come together then. How about calling other people from the art department, and let's all come together and treat it as a club dinner?"

With the idea that everyone should die together, Eriri made this suggestion.

Asakura Feng also looked at Eriri in surprise and could see this meaning from her eyes.

Recalling the sour taste of the authentic spicy hotpot, a smile appeared on Asakura Feng's face: "Okay, let's all come together then!"

Seeing that Asakura Kaede agreed so considerately, Eriri nodded with satisfaction and continued eating.

For two people, there were four dishes in total, including the chicken tofu pudding, and the portions of sweet and sour pork and pickled fish were also quite large. By the end of the meal, Asakura Kaede and Eriri were so full that they couldn't move.

Leaning back in her chair, Ying Lili let out a contented breath and said, "It's rare for me to eat so much. I guess I'll have to eat less at night."

Asakura Feng also narrowed his eyes, picked up the Coke and took a sip, and said, "Are we going to the maid cafe later?"

Shaking her head, Ying Lili said, "Let's go shopping first. I don't feel motivated if you ask me to go now. But I have to go anyway."

The maid cafe is the highlight of today. Although the restaurant brought by Asakura Kaede has taken up some of the limelight, Eriri is still very obsessed with it.

Take it easy, then go!

At the same time, the two mothers who originally wanted to follow their children to see the specific situation now arrived at a restaurant and sat down to have lunch.

Chapter 39 Maid Cafe (Please collect!!!)

Asakura Reiko looked at Sayuri Sawamura, who was sitting opposite her and looked 70% similar to Eriri in the photo she had seen before, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that we would think of the same thing."

Sayuri Sawamura ate a piece of sushi and said with a smile, "This shows that we as mothers have very similar ideas. To be honest, although I know a little bit that Eriri will go out to play today and it will be fine, and she should have a lot of fun, but I still can't help but want to come and take a look."

"That's right, that's right."

Asakura Reiko also nodded with a smile: "I also decided to follow Xiaofeng after she left. To be honest, this is the first time this child has gone out alone with a girl. Although I know that my child is quite stable, this is not an ordinary thing. It is inevitable that I am a little worried."

Both of them are open-minded parents who will not restrict their children's interactions. It would be great if they could find a partner who can support each other at this beautiful age.

And judging from the current situation, the subsequent development should be quite stable unless there are any unexpected events.

This conclusion was reached by the two mothers after they exchanged information.

However, the two of them met unexpectedly today, so they temporarily put aside their attention to following behind and observing. Let the children develop freely, and the two mothers can have a good exchange from another perspective.

Sayuri Sawamura thought about it and suggested, "Reiko, since we're not going over, why don't we go shopping in the afternoon? I haven't been shopping for a long time."

"sure."

Asakura Reiko agreed with a smile: "It is indeed time to consider buying some new clothes for spring and summer."

..........

On the other side, Asakura Kaede and Eriri took a rest after eating, and finally paid the bill and left the restaurant.

After coming out, Eriri looked at Asakura Kaede and said, "I'm sorry for making you spend money today."

Shaking his head, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "I brought you to this store, it's normal for me to treat you."

"Then we can't continue like this in the maid cafe this afternoon, let's split the bill."

Eriri is also a wealthy woman, so she doesn't need boys to pay when she goes out to play, and the two of them are not in that kind of relationship now.

Asakura Kaede naturally had no objection and agreed.

After returning to Akihabara, the two went straight to the maid cafe.

In Japan, maid cafes are already a very common dining venue. The only difference is that the waiters are all girls, and they all wear maid outfits. After a period of development, cafes with only male waiters and targeting female customers have also appeared.

As soon as I came in, two maids came to me and bowed politely, saying, "Welcome back, Master~~~"

"Oh!!!!"

Eriri was startled and couldn't help grabbing Asakura Kaede's sleeve, but she soon became excited.

Asakura Kaede didn't show much expression, after all, this was the expected opening.

One of the maids looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Masters, please come in."

After following the maid in, Asakura Feng discovered that there was a reason why this store was so popular.

First of all, the decoration was done with great care, and it was obvious that a lot of money had been spent on it. In addition, the quality of the waiters, or maids, in this store was much higher than Asakura Kaede had imagined.

Although they are all wearing makeup now, Asakura Feng boldly guesses that even after removing their makeup, the average score should be around 80 points.

It is understandable that there is a constant stream of male customers.

After sitting down, the maid handed over two menus: "My two masters, this is our menu. The first page has our signature products!"

Asakura Kaede opened it and saw the maid's special omelette rice on it.

However, he had no interest in it as he had just eaten, and he was not sure whether the omelette rice was really made by the maid herself, or just the ketchup on it was applied by the maid.

After flipping through the pages, Asakura Feng said, "Then I'd like a cup of lemon tea and a piece of tiramisu cake."

After Asakura Kaede finished ordering, Eriri quickly said, "I want red bean milk tea and chocolate cake!"

"Okay, please wait a moment, masters~~"

After writing down the list, the maid left with a smile.

Asakura Feng looked at Eriri who was watching curiously in front of him and asked with a smile: "I just saw that there is a section on the menu where you can play games with the maids. Do you want to order it?"

"You can try it. It seems quite interesting. There are board games and dart competitions."

Eriri flipped to the back pages of the menu and looked at the introduction with great interest. "And I saw that there are small prizes for winning some competitions, and you can even take a photo with the maid!"

However, looking at the prizes that are obviously not cheap, Ying Lili feels that the maids who dare to take out game competitions must have some skills.
