Chapter 112, Section 111: The Flying Balloon, the Strange Woman (Fourth Update)

Upon arriving at the street where Obik Noodles is located, before even getting close, Megumi noticed the unusually long queue on the street, which gave her a headache.

"Are you kidding me? Even if it's really that delicious, there shouldn't be this long queue."

"Seriously, don't they all have to go to work?"

When Megumi was making her comments, Tomoki gently reminded her.

"Mom, it's Saturday today—"

"It's my fault, I was so busy I was completely overwhelmed."

Megumi slapped her forehead. She had been working for too long and hadn't had a break at all. She had completely forgotten what day of the week it was.

"Well, Mom, maybe we should just forget about it. I can eat other things too."

Seeing the difficulty on Megumi's face, Tomoki made a suggestion.

Actually, he didn't really want to eat it that much, although he was curious about the taste of ramen.

But when I'm with my mom, it doesn't matter where we go.

"It's okay, Mom can go and join the queue."

Megumi gritted her teeth and said, "Although it doesn't align with my time-saving philosophy, it's for Chiki's sake—"

As I was about to join the long queue, Izayoi heard a familiar voice calling from behind.

"team leader!"

"Huh? Jiang Yu, what's wrong?"

Looking at Jiang Yu's outfit—flip-flops, beach shorts, and a tank top—Jujian Hui's lips twitched.

Is being healthy enough to be this carefree?

Even though the sun is out, it's winter now, damn it! Isn't this outfit a bit too fashionable and eye-catching?

Noticing that passersby were looking their way, Megumi almost wanted to run away with Chiki immediately.

"There's no other way. I washed all my clothes yesterday, so I have to wear this today."

The only outfit left is the team uniform. The captain wouldn't want me walking around in that outfit, would he?

C

Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow. He had just finished his morning basic physical training, and there was a little sweat on his forehead.

Taro's earnest teachings still echoed in my ears: maintaining daily training would ensure maximum performance in battle.

Sometimes, the reason for persistent training is to gain better control over oneself, without any particular purpose.

As for his outfit, he really can explain it.

It's common knowledge that a man's wardrobe can be described as empty, especially for someone like him who doesn't care about tidying up and only has two sets of clothes for each season.

Yesterday, he spilled noodle soup on his clothes twice while eating noodles, and there was nothing he could do about it.

I was planning to go shopping for clothes later, but then I ran into Megumi Kijima.

"Then forget it, you're fine the way you are."

Kijima said helplessly that unless they are on a mission, the Victory team members are not allowed to wear their team uniforms, as it could easily cause panic.

The last noodle shop dinner was an exception; Director Sawai had given his approval.

TPC would like to see a great yokai maintain a harmonious relationship with humans.

"By the way, where is the captain in the command room? It seems like you haven't had a break at all."

"Don't say that. I'm human too, unlike you, who has an enviable amount of energy."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. I think the team leader is planning to go and queue up."

Jiang Yu pointed to the Obik Noodle Shop, changing the subject.

She has so many strengths that Izumi Megumi can't possibly envy.

"Yeah, Tomoki said he wanted to try ramen, so I brought him here, but it does look really crowded."

"Izumi Megumi hugged the somewhat timid Tomoki and explained."

Her son's reaction was unexpected; Zhishu had hardly ever interacted with strangers since he was a child.

Even now, I still don't have many friends I can really talk to.

"The captain's son is named Chiki, huh? He looks a lot like you."

Jiang Yu recalled fragments of his memory; it seemed that the son of Jujian Hui appeared during the second appearance of the Kirieloids.

In the end, it seems that all the lights in the buildings around Tiga were turned on to recharge him.

In terms of contributions, he was only slightly less than the man who used to shine a flashlight in front of the television.

An exceptionally talented child, with exceptional computer skills and aptitude; by all accounts, he's a perfect successor to Ye Rui.

Later, Mai Midorikawa actually took over, which is completely baffling.

"That's Zhishu. This is Mom's friend. You can call him Uncle Jiang Yu."

"Hello, Uncle Jiang Yu!"

Jiang Yu: "————"

Why do we have to be so polite? Is this a Japanese tradition?

"Okay, okay, Uncle will take you out to play another day. I'll make sure you have a great time to repay you."

"Huh? Can you really take me out to play?"

"Of course, making you fly wouldn't be difficult at all."

Jiang Yu said with a smile, the bronze light rod in the Paragi quartz stone faintly glowing.

He can fly, in a physical sense; he's such a good person.

"Alright, Jiang Yu, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to queue up with Zhi Shu."

Seeing that a few more people had joined the group in just a few words, a look of panic was clearly visible on Megumi Kijima's face.

If this continues, taking my son out will basically mean eating ramen and then having to go back home.

"Captain, come with me."

Jiang Yu gestured and led the way to the back door of the Obik Noodle Shop.

"Because I do morning exercises every day, Obik always saves some for me, so we can just go eat it."

"This isn't right, since it was saved for you—"

Megumi was a little embarrassed, as was Chiki in her arms.

It doesn't feel right to let Jiang Yu go hungry just so I can have ramen.

"Haha, that."

Jiang Yu scratched his head and laughed.

"Obik saved five bowls for me, that should be enough for you guys, right?"

Intermediary Hui, Zhishu:

So Bai was embarrassed, having eaten five bowls all by himself.

Thirty minutes later, Megumi pulled Tomoki through the bustling commercial street, but they had no desire to buy any of the delicious food.

The ramen was a bit too much in portion; it was completely different from the one I had last time, and it had a lot more toppings.

"belch!"

Zhi Shu let out a burp and looked up, somewhat puzzled.

-

"Mom, why can Uncle Jiang Yu eat five bowls of noodles in one meal?"

"Perhaps he was just expending a lot of energy."

Megumi didn't know how to explain it either. Daigo wasn't that scary, and just a few days ago Jiang Yu claimed that he was also an Earthling.

"Mom, I want to buy that!"

Zhi Shu was already tempted when she saw the many balloons the old man was holding.

When I go out with my grandma, she never lets me buy anything, saying that if I buy balloons, I will fly away like my dad.

"it is good."

But buying a balloon is nothing I can't agree to.

After the intermediary paid, Tomoki didn't hold on tight enough and let the balloon fly upwards.

Zhishu was so anxious that tears were about to fall; this was the first balloon his mother had ever bought for him.

Megumi didn't think too much about it; she just planned to buy a new one.

It flew so high, there's no way it can be brought back.

"Thank you, sister!"

Hearing Chiki's words of thanks, Iruma Megumi turned around in confusion.

A strange woman handed the balloon back to Zhishu with a smile on her face, making her seem approachable.
