Tokyo Wingman King

After riding with all his strength for a while, Asama pressed the brakes.

A burst of white smoke erupted from the friction between the tires and the ground.

I actually had a tire burnout effect while riding.
Based on this strength, it is estimated that this steel-structured bicycle will also collapse.

He also didn't understand how someone with physical strength of 8 felt almost like the Hulk.

He doesn't want to be the Hulk.

There are a lot of cars along the way. If you are caught on a driving recorder riding a station wagon at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, won't you be arrested and sliced ​​into pieces?

Pochi and the others have reached the finish line, but Asama still releases water on the lesbian Immortal River. When he pretended that his car had broken down and had to come down to repair it, Fushikawa overtook him without hesitation.

Do you like robbing the rich and giving to the poor so much? F sang.

The Immortal River quickly reached the end point, and at this time, Asama had just reinstalled the chain.

When the girls were waiting for him at the finish line, he felt the anxiety of being waited for.

He doesn't want others to wait for him.

Everyone has their own way, and staying for others is a luxury.

If you stay too long, there will be too many people waiting, and you won’t be able to go anywhere.

What about the people who are being waited for?
Have you ever felt this way, apologetic, ashamed, anxious, and heavy?
If he shouted loudly - "Don't wait for me any longer."

In this case, do you think more about them or yourself?

He also felt anxious and ashamed of himself for standing still.

"Robert-kun, are you still okay?"

"Ah Shui, I want to treat you even if you don't enter the restaurant!"

The girls waved from a distance, the steaming heat obstructing the view, making their voices sound like sirens seducing sailors at sea.

Being able to make good friends with sirens, snow maidens, vampires, and nine-tailed foxes without doing anything is considered a human feat, right?

Asama stared at the steaming heat on the road and rode in front of the girl and the restaurant.

Steaming steam came out of the biryani in front of Asama, and the liquid nitrogen ice cream wafers in the girls' mouths made white smoke puff out of their noses.

It's really authentic.

The South Asian curry restaurant called TAJICURRY where the five of them are located is run by serious Indians.

It’s not like Lanzhou Ramen in China is all opened by Qinghai people, and Indian restaurants in the UK are all opened by Bangladeshis. This is a perverse situation. The billboard on the wall of the store proudly introduces the owner from Surat. The experience of learning cooking skills in the UK.

Surat is a port city in the Indian state of Gujarat. There is a proverb in India: "Eat in Surat, die in Varanasi".

Therefore, in addition to chicken and beef curry, there are also fried lamb spicy curry that is rare in Japanese curry shops, biryani, curry samosas, crispy curry balls, fried chicken legs, Gujarati dishes with naan, and what seems to be a collection of half A gooey mystery dish from the periodic table of elements.

The flavor of the spices is much stronger than that of a Japanese curry shop, and the difference in flavor is even greater than the difference between Yellow Crane Tower hard delicacies and Cuban cigars.

Don't ask Asama how he knew, he was forced to suck in his previous life, and if he didn't want to suck, he wouldn't be sucked.

Just as Ikebukuro was occupied by Chinese restaurants and Japanese tastes were gradually tamed by authentic Chinese cuisine, more and more Indian dishes are slowly getting rid of Japanese improvements and regaining the flavor of Mumbai street masala. As the world's second largest curry consumer, Japan's acceptance of Indian curry is much higher than that of authentic Sichuan and Hunan cuisine.

Under Asama's persuasion, Majima, who was in average physical condition, chose an ordinary salad.

Fusugawa ordered the Gujarati platter, Futami ordered the same salad as Majima, Pochi ordered Indian garlic naan and creamy curry shrimp, and Asama ordered biryani - a kind of added Chicken biryani of unknown origin with at least 20 spices.

Fennel seeds, coriander seeds, black pepper seeds, black cumin seeds, cloves, nutmeg, green cardamom, black cardamom, red pepper powder, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, cinnamon, turmeric, dill. No golden tongue Asama, I can't distinguish all the spices.

The charm of Indian food lies in their perfect mastery of spice formulas, like a jazz musician who improvises but never fails.

They don't pile up spices all at once. They also randomly mix yogurt, lemon juice with onions, tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, cumin, yellow mustard seeds, herbs, coriander, mint leaves and other ingredients to make yogurt sauce for dipping. , used to enrich the taste of fragrant rice.

But Asama was in trouble, because his two yogurt dipping sauces, one green and one white, were divided among the girls.

Without the aoba sauce, Asama was left with only yellow rice in front of him.

There was a small plate of clear ghee on Fusugawa's platter. She took out the spoon from her mouth, scooped a spoonful into the small bowl of ghee, and handed it to Asama.

"Robert-kun, would you like some Daigo to try~"

Ghee is an oriental butter produced by heating and stirring butter. Because of the sacredness of cows in India and the sweet taste of ghee itself, it has also become [Daigo] known as "the best flavor in the world" in Buddhism.

"Don't taste it."

Asama had no interest in eating Fusukawa's saliva.

Although it is said that exchanging saliva can improve immunity, and there is absolutely no Helicobacter pylori in the Immortal River, he can't think about it anymore when it comes to physical matters!

Futami and Majima also refused to share. Only Pochi did not share. Instead, he grabbed 3 tablespoons of fragrant rice, put it in naan pancakes, and ate it with creamy curry sauce.

Asama told everyone about Masumi Ichijo's concert tour and suggested going to Vienna on August 8th.

When Pochi heard that Asama was going to take the girl on a trip again, the spice bomb-like Indian cuisine no longer tasted good.

"Ah Shui! I want to go too!!!"

Pochi slapped the table and stood up, taking the opportunity to lean on Asama, but Asama successfully defended himself by pressing his face with one hand.

"I didn't say I won't take you there. The premise is that you have to earn enough travel expenses."

"Do you want to work? I've been so busy studying lately that I don't have time to work."

"Huh? Is Sister Boqi so stressed about studying in college?"

"Uh, it's not stinky Ah Shui"

"Is it related to Shizui-kun?"

Asama could only explain to Bochi, "It has nothing to do with me. Bochi decided to repeat his studies for half a year to take the Tokyo University entrance examination."

"Oh! Sister Boqi is ambitious!"

"As expected of the Asama family."

After hearing what Shimajima said, Pochi, who was still distressed one second, was proudly patting his chest the next second and gave up on his bold statement that "as long as he masters the learning methods, dogs can pass the Tokyo University."

The topic returned to the trip to Europe again. Fusukawa looked at an itinerary sent to Asama and said with a smile,

"How about we go a game early and surprise Masumi-chan in Paris?"

Asama looked at the dates. Ichijo's Paris tour was on August 8th, and the performance on August 10th was in Amsterdam.

"It's not impossible."

Jiandao was silent for a while and asked,

"It's not because it's a department team activity, so Jingshui, you're going to pay for it, right?"

Asama shook his head and said,
"That's the department's money, not mine alone. It should be spent on department activities."

Er Jian also put down his fork,
"But the performance in July was not good, right? I didn't help Jingshui-kun in any way. How about I use the salary of the second half of the year as the cost of this trip?"

Considering the issue of Jiandao, Futami did not mention paying for it himself.

Of course, her pocket money was almost at the bottom, and she didn't want to spend money indiscriminately to increase her father's burden.

In this way, all four girls voluntarily gave up their wages for the second half of the year.

By the way, why would a department pet without a salary join in the fun?
"Ah Shui. I also want to join the love counseling department. Why don't I take the exam at Tokyo University? How about I take the Toyo Eiwa exam instead?"

Porchi wanted to hug Asama's arm, but Asama dodged it.

"Yinghe is not a Jiejiao, and he does not accept Furui as his disciple."

"Well - Ah Shui started talking incomprehensible words again."

"There are eight days from the 9th to the 16th. The total cost of air tickets, accommodation, meals, and tickets is estimated to be 8 million. It's not impossible for me to lend you the money."

"That's too much. Why can Xiao Lishi and the others do it for free, and I need to borrow money?"

"Because they are my employees, I can always get the surplus value back. But you are my cousin, so I am already giving you face by lending it to you."

"Wow! The naked capitalist speaks! Mr. Robert, you better not leave this restaurant. There are street lights outside!"

What Jiajima thinks is that if he can work for Asama for the rest of his life, it will be considered as fulfilling his wish, and it is best to be his secretary.

Futami looked at the duplicitous Asama and smiled.

"Damn Ah Shui, just borrow it! Before that, I want to eat extra!"

Pochi ordered two more snacks with a momentum that seemed to eat Asama up.

At the same time, she also made up her mind that she would not repay the money. If she really wanted to repay it, she would pay it with her body.

Asama looked at Bochi's schoolbag containing his homework and said,

"The prerequisite for borrowing money is that you have completed these eight days of practice in advance."

"Just do it."

Seeing the way Pochi was giving Immortal River a look, Asama knew exactly what Pochi was planning.

"No foreign aid is allowed."

"A Shui, do you want to drive me to death?!" I took a break for nearly two hours in the Indian restaurant with a special juice to avoid the midday sun.

Fusukawa called Shiina to communicate about the band's performance. The band's live performance is scheduled for August 8, and the day before the performance, she will go to the Chiba Welfare Institute to visit the children.

This means that Fusukawa will return to Tokyo after staying in Asama's hometown for three days.

This also means that Futami and Majima's plan to stay at Asama's house for a summer vacation was also broken.

Shimajima and Pochi joined the team to visit the children on August 8, and [The Restraint Band] also became the guest performer of the Immortal River [Death Samurai Band].

Their goal is to be inseparable forever, so that Asama can gradually get used to it and gradually become addicted to things that fill the peak moments and fragmentary gaps between them.

Everyone in the love counseling department has entered into an intensive and busy schedule like Asama or Fusugawa.

As a result, the amount of homework that Boqi needs to complete in advance increases again.

Is this the price of keeping up with Ah Shui's rhythm?
Pochi thought he might die on his homework book before setting off.

Futami, who was using her phone to calculate the accounts on a second-hand trading app, quietly made up her mind to sell her wardrobe of clothes and bags to get some money back to help Asama and Fuzugawa with some charity work. She couldn't let Asama help her with the donation the second time.

At 2:40 pm, the wind outside became much stronger.

The group set out again, with the goal of reaching the Shonan coast of Fujisawa City before 6 o'clock.

The Shonan coast is very long, nearly 18 kilometers across Chigasaki City, Fujisawa City, and Kamakura City.

Even Zushi City further to the east and Hiratsuka City further to the west, their beaches can also be included in the Shonan Coast.

The resting point on the coast chosen by Asama is only 1.5 kilometers away from the Kamakura High School front station where Sakuragi and Haruko looked at each other in "Slam Dunk". The girls expressed that they wanted to go there and check in.

Summer flowers bloomed all the way, and the summer wind filled their faces, shaping their faces and depicting the sunshine without blind spots.

Even Pochi, who had a mountain of homework, forgot about his worries, and the four girls moved forward with joy.

But after half an hour, they honestly put on their face scarves and sunglasses again.

The sun in Yokohama in August is so poisonous that it seems to want to dry out and thin the entire city, so that every building is filled with heat and then reaches the sky.

Turning onto Tokaido from Second Keihin-dori, we are finally a little closer to the sea. We can already see the landmark Ferris wheel of Yokohama Port in the distance.

The Ferris wheel is like a fan there, and the intensity of the sea breeze has obviously increased by several levels.

The wind drowned out the voices, and the girls who were still chatting about what to eat for dinner began to immerse themselves in riding.

After riding 3 kilometers southwest, one train after another of trams appeared from their right side, briefly side by side, and then quickly swept them far away.

After riding more than half of the mileage in 70 minutes, the five of us leaned against the park and rested against the railing beside the road to drink water.

"If I had known it would be so hot today, the cake would melt."

The second sight was a bit depressing.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyue, there are enough ice cubes. If it really goes bad, we can cook it for her directly at Aunt Shengzi's house~"

"Then let's eat these snacks first tonight~ Overnight snacks are definitely not as delicious as freshly made ones~"

Pochi obviously ate the most lunch, and now he started to think about desserts on Asama’s station wagon.

Because the spy Pochi broke the news, the information about Asama Katsuko's love for sweets and snacks was known to them very early.

This time, the nut brownie made by Fusigawa and the Citron lemon tart made by Futami.

Both try to test the limits of their baking skills.

Jiandao doesn't have this problem. What she does is bake cookies.

There weren't many children in the small park behind them. After all, there were many amusement parks in Yokohama that were hugely attractive to children.

Instead, some young people who are on vacation and have nowhere to put their youth gather in this park to chat.

The appearance of the girl from the love counseling department made them quiet a lot.

They have a beauty that makes people speechless and can grab other people's attention in an instant.

But seeing the white-haired boy with well-defined muscles under his sweaty T-shirt, they rationally chose to wait and see and secretly take photos.

"Have you noticed, it's that [anti-barbarian patriot Bai Yaksha]."

"He seems taller and stronger than in the video. Did you see the bike he was riding? He must have carried at least 100 kilograms of stuff."

"Sure enough, a true ronin trains himself all the time? He also hired 2 beautiful sparring partners and 2 beautiful supervisors."

"He looks so handsome when he drinks water."

The boys returned to reason, but all their attention was attracted by Asama.

Check in at Shonan Coast and Kamakura High School Main Station.

Asama and the others had dinner at the nearby Ippudo Ramen.

As Japan's ramen chain giant, Ippudo is known as the most stable ramen shop in Japan.

But some people say that it is stable oily and salty.

This is of course also Hakata, or Kyushu ramen style.

Asama, who had eaten top-quality Jiro ramen with Fusukawa, said that there was no need to worry about the saltiness.

Ippudo's business expansion in China is average, but in Japan, it has become the choice of most Chinese tourists to eat ramen.

There are three main flavors of ramen, Shiromaru, Akamaru (spicy), and curry sweet and spicy.

Fusugawa and Pochi both ordered sweet and spicy curry, and added minced garlic to the soup, which was in sharp contrast to Futami and Majima who ordered white balls.

Due to Jiandao's insistence, dinner became AA.

A portion of ramen and snack Coke costs about 1800 yen.

As a scenic spot, I feel that the price is quite normal.

Also because it is a scenic spot, the store is still very noisy.

Fellow Slam Dunk fans were criticized by some Japanese people about how to serve ramen with fried rice. I believe fellow villagers will also find it even weirder for Japanese fried dumplings to be served with rice.

Immortal River, who was persuaded by Pochi, took out her brownie, and Futami also took out her lemon tart. When the waiter came and told him that outside food was not allowed, Pochi used the reason of his 16th birthday to fool him. It's past.

After drinking and eating, a few people pushed the cart onto the sidewalk on the beach, enjoying the breeze, watching the sea, watching the monorail, eating and chatting on the Shonan coast.

The tram clanked past, and the team holding surfboards or windsurfing boards happily ran down the beach carrying their equipment. From time to time, the photographer pointed the camera at the five people and was confused about who should take a close-up first. The story between Fuchuan and Pochi about " [Guide dogs are not allowed] Is it for people or dogs?" "Do vampires have sex in a coffin or on a bed?" "Which one of Indian food, Mexican food or North African food smells worse?" and other various existential propositions.

Their discussions were detailed and they were actively thinking with great enthusiasm. Futami and Majima could only nod in surprise.

Not every topic is popular and time is wasted.

But no one can ignore the fact that every [me] no longer thinks about [me].

[I] became [us], so time became 5 times more fulfilling.

However, Asama knew it all too well.

When [we] become [me] again, this fulfillment will become a fulfillment that is no longer fresh, and will turn into a cloud-like, faded, one-time fantasy.

Trying to grasp it results in nothing but emptiness.

He has never taken the initiative to say goodbye, but he has always been prepared for "goodbye, goodbye, goodbye".

It took 8 hours to walk along the 2 kilometers of coast.

The endless stars twinkled above the head, the street lights and the houses on the beach were lit up, and the girls continued to talk about love.

They simulated a love court and discussed many cases where love was not achieved.

He lost count of how many sentences were fired at him.

But from a professional perspective, the growth of Shimajima and Futami is obvious. Maybe next semester, he will be able to free up his hands to do more of what he wants to do, right?

Can one be as active a nihilist as Nietzsche?

No, he doesn't want to get involved in nihilism, and he doesn't want a big hole in his body.

How to introduce them to their parents, when to practice the new song Fusukawa said, whether to do the gym physical examination tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, whether to invite them to learn German together, Bochi's study supervision, how many call options to buy tomorrow with Komaba, etc. The financial situation of Hui Mu Club, what kind of person Takishima mentioned about the Chinese friend, how many things can be negotiated during the trip to China in the second half of the month, how to deal with the relationship with those big shots, and whether he can get the first place in the entrance test next semester. one
Countless real-life issues that have a bearing on him are shaping a person who is completely different from his past self.

When I walked to the door of the hotel, I was informed that there was no third room available. At the same time, the men's bathroom in the hotel was under maintenance tonight and only open for mixed bathing.

For him, who realizes that the key to love has long been rusted, these are actually questions that he can find answers to without even thinking about it.

However, one day, he believed that they would come to his heart through other doors - doors that were as open as his, without any threshold.

This will be longer-lasting and more charming than love with unequal desires.

Reconstructing all the purposes and values ​​of rational communication is the antidote to nothingness.

He took the room card and strode forward with his luggage. The sweet voices of the girls followed him closely, like a classical symphony composed for him.

Behind him, the blue ocean in August became a mystery.
