Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 270 Luxury Journey
Looking at Minister Kumamon from a distance, Kirino Akane was already satisfied.

But after all the visits, she still went to the minister's office which was open to the public, took a few photos, and bought some Kumamon ornaments before leaving.

Walking out of Kumamon Square, she smiled at the few people accompanying her.

"I'm so hungry, let's go eat tonkatsu."

"Ah."

The place for lunch was decided by Akane Kirino when she planned to see Kumamon. It was nearby, a restaurant famous for its tonkatsu.

After crossing two streets and rushing there, the store was already full of customers.

After taking the number, I waited for a while on the bench outside the store. Several people were eating the cones that Soya bought, when the clerk came out and beckoned them in.

"Finally it's our turn."

Kirino Akane stood up immediately, "I want to eat another cone."

"It's cold and hot, be careful of your stomach hurting."

Putting the last bit of the cone into his mouth, Kiririn licked his lips, got up and followed Soya.

Sit down in the store, the clerk brings the menu, and the first page you open is a picture of tonkatsu, which is very tempting.

[Super special selection!Six white black dolphins produced in Kagoshima Prefecture]

"Kagoshima black pork..."

Tonkatsu is divided into tenderloin and loin, and the price is different.Akane Kirino and Hongzi each ordered different cuts, and discussed together to exchange and taste later.

Soya flipped back, and there were some other fried dishes to choose from.It's a pity that the highly recommended oyster tempura is a seasonal dish and can't be eaten until around November.

After ordering, before the tonkatsu was served, the clerk first brought some side dishes, as well as a portion of mashed radish for each person.

Pour some vinegar juice into it, stir well, Zonggu tasted it, the radish puree is cold and sweet, very appetizing.

"I feel like I can prepare a small dish like this in my shop..."

Akane Kirino, who was sitting across from her, stretched out her chopsticks and took a sip of it. It felt good, and then imitated his way of eating, and poured some vinegar into the bowl of mashed radish.

"Don't add too much." Sogu reminded.

"Uh-huh."

Hongzi sat next to her and pushed his bowl over.

"Soya, help me."

He picked up the vinegar bottle, poured a little into it, and pushed the bowl back.

"Stir the meeting."

"..."

She was slightly dissatisfied.

She was even more dissatisfied when she saw him directly stirring the radish puree for Kyoko who was next to him.

buzz-

Hongzi: Treat them differently!
"..."

Putting down the phone, Soya glanced at her.

Sending him a message in front of other people at the table is no different from speaking directly.

"Thank you."

After tasting the mixed vinegared radish puree, Kyoko stretched out her hand again, and brought Hongko's bowl to Soya.

"..."

Hongzi opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, and nodded imperceptibly.

After mixing it for her, Zong Gu also took Chao Wuling's share.

Yueyue was holding a bowl in the corner.

"Over here, over here, and mine."

"Do it yourself."

After a while, the clerk brought some wooden pestles, and matched them with a bowl with diagonal lines carved on the inner wall.

"This is for grinding sesame seeds." Akane Kirino explained.

She uncovered the seasoning bowl on the table, which contained fried white sesame seeds, "This is it."

After scooping two tablespoons of sesame seeds into the bowl, she picked up the wooden pestle and pressed it to grind it.

"smell good……"

The wooden pestle and the coarse grain in the bowl squeeze each other to crush the sesame into powder.Soya, who was sitting opposite, soon also smelled the fragrance, and then he also started to move.

The white sesame is seasoned with the pork chop sauce, so it doesn't have to be crushed too much.He stopped when he smelled the strong fragrance, and most of the sesame seeds in the bowl had been ground into powder.

While he was grinding sesame seeds for Chao Wuling, their pork chops finally arrived.

The pork chops have been cut and fried until golden on both sides. They are placed on the shredded cabbage, and there seems to be a faint sizzling sound inside.

Zonggu picked up a small piece, and the incision was layered. The pork sandwiched between the two sides of the skin was fresh and tender. With a little force, the gravy overflowed;

One bite, the teeth penetrate the crispy skin, and then bite down, the gravy flows out from the pork chops, and the aroma instantly spreads to the whole mouth.

"Well……"

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the gravy is fragrant and full of aftertaste.

"How~"

Kirino Akane looked at him, with a few grains of bread crumbs on the corners of her lips.

Soya nodded, "That's good."

"Uh-huh!"

After tasting the original pork chop, he opened the sauce jar, scooped up a few spoonfuls of pork chop sauce, added it to the ground sesame seeds, and stirred it a few more times.

"This jar of pork chop sauce is spicy...the one here is rich and fragrant."

"Well, I saw it."

Then pick up a piece of pork chop, dip it in the sesame sauce, and dip it down, the juice will overflow, and the taste and fragrance will be improved to a higher level.

Kirino Akane and Hongzi exchanged each other's pork chops, and after comparing them, they came to the conclusion: the tenderloin is leaner, the gravy is less, and the loin meat is more fragrant.

The rice was also served quickly.

Bite off a piece of pork chop, eat a bite of rice, and radish puree mixed with vinegar can relieve the greasy;

Taking another sip of the delicious clam miso soup, Tsukiyomi let out a long breath.

"Extremely satisfying..."

After eating the pork cutlet rice, they took a short rest, got on the tram again, and returned to Kumamoto Station along the route they came from.

On the upper floors of the station, you can overlook the tall and majestic Kumamoto Castle Castle Tower. The whole body is black and white, which is said to be the original design prototype of Kumamon.

"It's pretty similar."

"I don't see any resemblance except for the color."

From Kumamoto to Kagoshima, there is a special JR Shinkansen cherry blossom train, which only takes one hour to Kagoshima Chuo Station, which is also their choice.

Pick up the ticket and get on the train. After a while, the train departs towards Kagoshima City in the south.

Kagoshima City is not the final destination of this trip. Akane Kirino chose to stay in Ibusuki, a famous tourist city at the southern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula, famous for its hot springs.

"It is said that the locals call Ibusuki the 'Hawaii of Japan'." Akane Kirino said.

Soya looked out the window, "I only know that Ibusuki is quite far from Sakurajima."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the area around Sakurajima is where we're going...and it's much closer than Shimabara to Iki Island."

He looked back, "You also chose Shimabara's homestay."

"Well……"

Akane Kirino pondered for a while, then pretended that this topic had never been mentioned, and passed it vaguely.

The train moved forward, and after nearly an hour, it arrived in Kagoshima City smoothly.

It's not until two o'clock, just in time to catch up with the Kyushu special sightseeing train, Tamate Box, which travels between Kagoshima and Ibusuki.

The black and white two-color spliced ​​train has a full sense of design.Because it is a luxury express, the ticket is not cheap, and it costs more than 40 yen for a one-way trip of more than 2000 kilometers.

"There is still something very powerful." Akane Kirino said mysteriously.

After being greeted by the conductor on the white foggy train, and walking into the very luxuriously decorated carriage, Soya looked at the ticket in his hand again.

"This time, how much did Ms. Tongye give you?"

"What...it's all the money I earned from part-time work."

"It's too extravagant."

When boarding the train, the conductor took their luggage over.Sitting on a bar-like seat, he looked at Akane Kirino who was sitting next to him.

"Today's hotel will cost more than 8000 yen per night."

"Because it's a rare trip."

She shook her legs, kept looking at the decorations and furnishings in the car, and looked at him again, "I can still afford to be a luxury once in a while."

Soya nodded and said no more.

"And Soya also helped me pay a lot of money...for example, last night at the restaurant in Mount Inasa."

He smiled and stood up again.

"Because it's a rare trip."

Kirino Akane followed with a smile.

At this moment, she just felt that there was nothing happier than being with him.

The interior of the carriage is decorated with logs, and there are a variety of seats including bar counters and sofas. One side is filled with books, just like a mobile library on a train.

Akane Kirino took Hongzi to sit at the bar, Zhao Wuling was flipping through a book on the sofa, Kyoko sat aside, and Soya sat down in another vacant seat next to her.

A few minutes later, the train started slowly and headed for Ibusuki.

Not long after driving out of Kagoshima Chuo Station, Kyoko suddenly patted his arm, signaling him to look up.

Soya raised his eyes from the book, and saw a tall volcano standing in the distance under the blue sky outside the car window, with white smoke curling from the top.

"Sakurajima..."

"Ah."

The main body of Sakurajima is an active volcano that is still active today. He has long known that the part connected to the Osumi Peninsula was formed in the "Taisho Eruption" a century ago;
It's just another feeling to see the crater that is breathing smoke.

The train moved, and the volcano in the distance turned slowly, active and silent.

"I really want to go and see now..."

　I originally thought that I could finish [Kyushu Chapter] in six to eight chapters, but now I estimate that it will be doubled and doubled.

　　The data is as bad as ever, how does it feel after reading it?
