"Neither, it's just not very delicious."
"...a person who wants to save face?"
"How is it possible! I'm not that kind of immature kid! I'm just... a picky foodie! Yes, a picky foodie!"
"Hehe, I see, it's not very tasty... right?"
Seeing An Luo trying to deny it, and even starting to make unreliable excuses, Bai Yu, who only thought it was very funny, couldn't help but seldom laughed.
But this tone of voice that seemed to speak to a child made An Luo very depressed, but now that he had something to ask for, he could only endure it unhappily.
................
................
When An Luo borrowed the bathroom, washed his hands and face and returned to the kitchen, Bai Yu had already made fried rice with carrots, peas and eggs, and put it in front of An Luo in a considerate manner: "Here, please use."
"Thank you~"
When he was hungry, there was food in front of him, and An Luo, who instantly became cheerful, forgot the previous unhappiness, took the chopsticks and started to gobble it up.
However, Bai Yu, who sat beside him and looked at him, smiled worriedly after a long absence, and said with a worried face: "You should leave quickly after eating, it will be a disaster if Grandpa sees it."
"why?"
"Grandpa will definitely be angry."
"That... Bai Yu, the grandpa you are talking about, shouldn't it be... the one behind you?"
An Luo raised his head from the fried rice, and looked behind Bai Yu. Although his hair and beard were white, he was a tall and strong man...or an old man.
Although the old man looked not young, he had overly strong muscles comparable to a bodybuilder.
Moreover, this old man in a sleeveless vest and shorts has a lot of scars engraved on his exposed muscles. Looking at it, An Luo, who is a jerk, has a natural sense of intimacy... Although for ordinary people It should be a heavy sense of oppression, even approaching will become trembling.
Unfortunately, the already frightening old man had a lot of blue veins on his thick arms that had been tanned by the sun, and he seemed to be in a state of rage.
"...Hey? —- Grandpa, grandpa?!" Bai Yu was stunned for a moment and turned around, and stood up in shock when he saw the person behind him, and hurriedly explained: "This, this person is... …”
"--Who are you?"
The old man ignored Bai Yu and just stared at An Luo. His rough and thick voice, coupled with his sharp and vicious eyes, put pressure on people invisibly.
"Hello, I'm Bai Yu's friend An Luo, please forgive me for visiting late at night." An Luo unhurriedly swallowed the unexpectedly delicious fried rice before wiping it with a paper towel on the table After wiping his mouth, he stood up smiling and extended his hand to the old man.
This scene not only surprised Bai Yu, who forgot to object to him arbitrarily classifying himself as a friend, even this old man who looked like a bad guy was also surprised.
"...What a surprise, you are the first child who can speak normally in front of the old man." After looking him up and down, the old man stretched out his hand to hold him as if recognizing his courage Hand: "The old man's name is... Narase Kobato."
"... Koto? It always feels a little out of place."
"--Is there any problem!" Perhaps he was also very concerned about his name, Naruse Kobato gave him a hard look.
"No, no, don't be angry. After all, it is the name chosen by the parents. There will always be times like this."
"... Put this topic aside for now. You said you are Bai Yu's friend? Why did you show up at my house covered in blood? Could it be that... you killed someone and fled here?" The old man narrowed his eyes. Eyes, looked him up and down like a scrutiny.
"Grandpa, you really know how to joke. If you really got blood all over your body when you killed someone, wouldn't you be a simple idiot? So this is the blood left when you killed a pig."
"--grandfather?!"
Like an angry bear, the old man suddenly took a step forward and stared at him firmly, Bai Yu subconsciously stood up to stop grandpa from committing violence.
But I'm used to it in the gang. During the negotiation, there will be people like An Luo from other forces, but he smiled and waved his hands like a mountain collapsed before him, "Don't be so excited, it doesn't have any special meaning."
"...Really? Then..." Because An Luo was too calm, Xiaojiu, who was even more surprised, calmed down and pushed the granddaughter away: "What is your relationship with Bai Yu? "
"No, did you just say that? Friends?"
"Is it really just like that?" Xiaojiu stared at An Luo for a while, then looked at her granddaughter who couldn't get in the way at first: "Bai Yu."
"this......"
He wanted to say that he just met today, but he was also worried that An Luo would be beaten up by his grandfather on the spot, so Bai Yu's eyes were erratic and he couldn't tell why.
But this attitude caused Xiaojiu to misunderstand something. She shook her head with an inexplicable sigh, and walked out of the restaurant without saying anything, leaving An Luo and Bai Yu staring at each other wordlessly... Before Bai Yu could figure out what happened to his grandfather, An Luo lowered his head again, and ate the fried rice like the autumn wind swept away fallen leaves.
"Delicious! Another bowl!"
"...Eh? What?"
"one more bowl!"
"... Are you really in someone else's house?"
The expression on Bai Yu's face was full of astonishment that he didn't know what expression to make.
"Of course it's your home, don't worry, I will pay for it."
"...No need, I didn't do this to make money, but I always feel that...you are too familiar with yourself."
Bai Yu, who was least adept at dealing with such people, sighed like his grandfather, and went to the kitchen to help An Luo add another meal.
In fact, introversion in interpersonal communication is mostly due to various fears or low self-esteem in the heart, but An Luo has no reason to be afraid of interpersonal communication, and has a powerful ability that is almost invincible. He who is defeated has no need to be afraid of anything at all. If he has low self-esteem...then how fragile is his heart to be introverted with such strength?
But in fact, even in his previous life without supernatural powers, he is still a person who can easily deal with people and is proficient in various social methods, and there is no such thing as an introvert.
Of course...that was the change he forced himself to make after he joined the work.
................
................
When Bai Yu went to fry the second meal, and An Luo sat cross-legged on the dining table, looking around for something interesting, Koto came back unexpectedly, holding a bottle of sake in his hand and took it out from the refrigerator. Some seafood sashimi, which was supposed to be breakfast before going out to sea tomorrow before dawn, just sat cross-legged across from An Luo.
"Have a drink with the old man."
Saying that, Xiaojiu filled up the wine glass placed in front of An Luo.
Although he understands the current situation in his stomach, it is not suitable for drinking, but An Luo can hardly refuse the rare wine in front of him, so he directly picked up the wine glass with a smile on his face: "Grandpa, do you like drinking too?"
"...also?" Xiaojiu's eyes suddenly turned wrong; this made An Luo immediately think that he is still a teenager who likes to drink, and he will definitely be regarded as a bad person in Japan, so he immediately changed his route: "...It's actually my uncle My brother and I also like to drink, so they always force me to drink with them... Well, I really can’t do without drinking, so I’m already used to being forced to drink.”
"You have a brother?"
"Cousin, now a sophomore in high school."
"...The kid actually drinks alcohol. If the old man sees it, he will definitely teach him how to be a student." Xiaojiu's eyes were shining fiercely, and it seemed that if Baiyin Yuxing appeared in front of him, It looks like he will definitely be taught a good lesson... Although Baiyin Yuyuki sticks to the principle of being a student, it can be said that he does not drink alcohol.
"Yes, it's a pity that my uncle also likes to drink, and as a junior, I can only persuade them to drink less."
"Well... that's fine."
Seeing that An Luo was worried about his family, it could be said that he was still a loyal and kind-hearted young man, Xiaojiu couldn't help but nodded in admiration, and said slowly: "I don't really drink much."
"Really? Then why now..."
"Because...there is no one to drink with the old man."
"Ah, if that's the case, if you don't mind, although I'm not strong enough to drink, I can still accompany you. Anyway, I'm used to drinking with my brother and uncle."
".....Row."
Nodding, Xiaojiu slammed the glass with An Luo silently, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then suddenly said: "Are you... serious?"
"what?"
"...just for fun, but seriously."
"Ah, of course I'm serious."
"Really?"
"I'm serious all the time."
Although I don't know exactly what the old man is talking about, but judging from the situation at the scene, An Luo naturally thinks that he came to this island, just for fun or doing something seriously... Although it doesn't seem very reasonable, but in Compared with countless unreasonable things, this is the most reasonable, so he naturally said that he was serious.
In fact, he was really serious about finding the glowing butterfly, and he was also really interested in Bai Yu's prophecy.
"Really? I admit to your courage." As for the indifference when facing him earlier, Xiaojiu admired it very much, but after drinking another glass of wine, he asked again: "How tall are you now? Yes What are your plans for the future?"
"The third year of high school, it's tentatively... going to school, right?"
"Are you older than Bai Yu?"
"No, no, same age, but I skipped a level."
"I remember...ordinary people can't skip levels, right?"
"Because I have been studying very rigorously, I have been specially given the opportunity to go to higher education. In terms of the future, I am planning to go to Cambridge or Oxford."
...Although it is actually uncertain, parents of any country will have a good impression of good students, so An Luo naturally has to speak up when possible, and strive to leave a good impression on the other party .
Although the current conversation made An Luo quickly realize that the old man seemed to have misunderstood his relationship with Bai Yu, and he probably thought they were dating.
But Xiaojiu frowned when he heard his answer, and looked very puzzled: "Cambridge? Oxford? I haven't heard of the name..."
Bai Yu, who came over again with a bowl of fried rice, couldn't help but be speechless to him only after hearing his words, and said, "An Luo...you're bragging too much."
What the granddaughter said made Xiaojiu realize something, she squeezed the wine glass tightly and lowered her voice: "Boy, are you lying to me?"
"No, no, what I said is true, wait...here, you see."
In order to prove himself, An Luo directly took out his phone and showed them the photos of his school's grade list every time... If you want to ask why he keeps such photos, the reason is very simple and helpless.
Because when he was in Tokyo, he generally gave people the impression that he was a delinquent boy with poor grades, so in order to prove himself, every time he passed the bulletin board, he would take a photo as a souvenir when the list was posted.
However, the name of An Luo, who is ranked first in the photos, and the grades behind it make Ben feel a little skeptical about the statement that he once boasted that his grades are very good, and that the principal valued him very much and even gave him a letter of recommendation. Bai Yu was also taken aback.
"It's a lie...it's really so good? Except for a little bit of Mandarin, everything else is perfect? How did you do it?"
"Relying on hard study, after all... My parents are not here, the economy is not very good, and now I live outside with my sister, otherwise there will be no scholarship."
"...very poor? Don't you have two million?"
There was almost disbelief written all over Bai Yu's face. After all, the person who was going to spend 200 million to hire her in the morning said he was poor?Isn't this obviously a lie?
An Luo also understood her thoughts, and immediately explained: "That's the savings I've been earning from part-time jobs. I was planning to use it for studying abroad, but... Compared with studying abroad, my sister is more important."
"Why, there is a younger sister here?"
"...If there is no way to find that thing, it will leave my sister with a lifetime of regrets."
An Luo lowered his head and spoke in a heavy and sad tone. His appearance naturally made Bai Yu think that his sister had some terminal illness, so she wanted to see the glowing butterfly before she died.
...Of course, this is not deceiving. After all, if there is no way to return to his hometown, it will be a lifelong regret for Huihui, and the two million can indeed be used when studying abroad, but he still has more money. .
