Chapter 143: Slime
The moment I got the ticket, my expression froze.
Summer, Summer...
What a familiar name! Isn’t this the shop opened by the boss whose food tastes terrible?
Why does he come to Roppongi instead of staying in Ginza?
"Let's go, Zen Temple~" Gojo Satoru pointed at the door excitedly and said, "It's our turn now."
"Uh hehehe..." I resisted the urge to run and followed him inside.
"Welcome." A gentle female voice sounded, and I saw a woman in a white cake dress greeting us through the window.
She looks a bit like the boss's daughter.
The young boss stood at the cashier counter with a happy smile on his face, "Excuse me, what would you like to order?"
"Three limited edition desserts." Gojo Satoru handed over the free coupon in his hand, "Eat them in the store."
The decor here is almost the same as the one ten years later.
The desserts were displayed in a brown glass cabinet with the same dark green cursive font as on the free coupon, separated by booths on both sides with small railings.
Except for the wall opposite.
The middle was hollowed out to make a cupboard with three rows of partitions on which various small dolls were displayed.
"Teacher Zenyuan, I finally got in line, why do you look so unhappy?"
Because I recall some memories that are tormenting to my taste buds.
And I was slightly confused as to why there were so many people queuing for such a bad restaurant.
"Three limited edition extra-large delicious Swiss rolls." The boss came over with desserts.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s super big. It feels like the size of half a watermelon.
"For limited edition items, you'll get a free small gift after eating at our restaurant." He pointed to the cupboard, "You can choose whatever you want."
I glanced around casually, then my eyes fixed on a slime.
The soft, bouncy and transparent slime can be held in one hand.
The little beady eyes looked blankly ahead, and on top of its head was a beautiful light pink flower with a keychain on it.
It's a bit like the one I received before.
"Wait, Boss." I fixed my eyes on it, "What is that?"
"It's a slime." He showed his white teeth and smiled innocently, "Come to think of it, I felt that your temperament is a bit similar to it at first sight, it really is fate."
That’s enough. You said the same thing in the last world. So why is that?
“Everything inside is made by me,” he said proudly. “Each one is unique.”
Unique...
"Boss, I want that." Three voices sounded almost at the same time.
Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and I looked at each other.
"You want it too?" I asked in surprise.
"Yeah." He said excitedly, "He looks like he's easy to bully. He's so soft."
"Yeah." Xia Youjie nodded and said, "I think that one is the most interesting one among them."
I complained, "I picked this first, go pick something else."
“Eh? No, no, no.” Gojo Satoru refused outright, “I just want that.”
"Are you a kindergarten kid?" I complained.
"Wait, three guests." The boss said quickly, "The rule of our restaurant is that whoever finishes eating first can choose first."
"Then let's compete." I said unconvinced, "Let's see who finishes first."
“Tsk.” Gojo Satoru said dismissively, “I’m not targeting anyone, but you two are both losers.”
"Wait, Jay, why are you eating already?"
While Gojo Satoru was boasting about himself, Geto Suguru had already taken action.
He pointed at the spoon opposite him and shouted, "How could you sneak away? You are mean, shameless, vulgar, and have small eyes!"
"Wu, the rules only say whoever finishes first can eat, but there is no requirement to eat at the same time."
Xia Yujie put the spoon into his mouth with a smile, "You talk too much."
"Damn it!" Gojo Satoru also picked up the spoon.
I keep preparing myself mentally.
For slime, for slime, for slime... let's fight!
At the first bite, I felt the soft cake and light animal cream melting in my mouth, accompanied by a light cherry blossom aroma, perfectly mixed together.
"Delicious!" I was so excited. "How can it be so delicious?"
Boss, you are very good at making desserts, how come your skills have deteriorated so much over the past ten years?
Wait...the one wearing the cake costume is my wife, she probably made it.
Woo woo woo woo...My wife makes such delicious desserts. How come you haven’t learned a few tricks from her after all these years of marriage?
"It's over!" When I had just eaten half of the Swiss roll and Geto Suguru still had a small bite left, dessert expert Gojo Satoru finished the whole one in no time.
"I feel so relaxed." He touched his stomach and said excitedly, "My stomach is not even half full."
"Yeah!" He walked over, took out the slime, put it on his index finger and showed it off proudly, "Look, isn't it cute?"
“.......Damn it!” I slammed the table angrily and ate the last bite.
"Jie, you're so lame." Gojo Satoru laughed at me and then went to provoke Geto. "It was just a little bit short. Are you angry?"
"Okay." Xia Youjie sighed, shrugged and said, "You win."
"Congratulations to the two guests. You can now choose your gifts." The boss came over and said with a smile.
"Oh, forget it." I shook my head, a little melancholy, "There's nothing I want anymore."
"Eh?" Gojo Satoru was stunned, pointing at the dazzling array of dolls and said, "There are many more, pick one."
"no need."
It was just that my memories were brought back, and on a whim I wanted an object that was somewhat related to the previous world.
Since it's already in Gojo Satoru's hands, let it go.
I puffed my lips and glared at him again, "Boss, give me five more Swiss rolls to take away."
After chatting for such a long time, I guess you must be hungry.
Hui and Tsu Miki are just children, so one portion is enough for the two of them.
Just give the rest to Nozomi, Nanami and Haibara.
Although Glass doesn't like sweets, this Swiss roll is unexpectedly delicious and she might like it.
"What's the difference between the limited edition and the regular edition?" I asked, looking at the Swiss rolls in the cabinet that looked almost identical.
"For the limited edition, cherry blossoms are added."
He proudly replied: "It's my wife's exclusive secret recipe. No other store can make it!"
Yes, these people include you.
The weather was very hot, and the packaging of Swiss rolls was rather complicated. In order to prevent them from melting, ice packs were added, so the boss took the ice packs from the kitchen.
I lay lazily on the glass cabinet, looking at the little dolls arranged on the cabinet without focus, my mind empty and I was in a daze with boredom.
When I came to my senses, I saw Gojo Satoru waving the key chain in front of me again.
"Gojo Satoru, what are you doing? Showing off again." I pushed his head away with an expressionless face.
"Okay." His cool fingertips touched my closed hands and nodded, then he placed the slime in my open palm, "It's yours now."
I was startled.
"Are you really giving it to me?" His tone was slightly surprised.
"You like it very much." He said with a smile, "I'll give it to you."
"What about you?" I asked.
"For me, please help me pick one, Master Zenin." said Xia Yujie.
"Ah, in that case, then you can help me choose one," said Gojo Satoru.
"Thank you." I took a deep breath and held the slime tightly in my palm.
