Chapter 167 The Big Eater
"Oh—where am I?!"
Yatogami Tohka stared wide-eyed at the scene in the alley.
The alleyway was surprisingly hidden, with food stalls lining both sides, making it look like a food market at a summer festival.
And it stretches as far as the eye can see.
However, the restaurant owner who was preparing the food had been seen by Shi Chen on the Fraxinus ship, which means that this place was arranged by Ratatosk.
Since we're talking about making an elf fall in love, we need to consider various situations, and dating is undoubtedly one of the most important ones to consider.
When it comes to dating, the location is inevitably a key factor.
Although Tengu City has no shortage of such places, given the unpredictable nature of Pokémon, it is simply not suitable to involve strangers.
Then you'll have to make the arrangements yourself.
"Tatsumi, can we go in?" Tohka Yatogami swallowed hard and asked impatiently.
She gazed inside, her eyes seemingly shining.
"Hehe~ Of course..."
.
Glug glug~
Suddenly, Tohka Yatogami's stomach rumbled.
"Hmm...did you hear anything?" Yatogami Tohka's face flushed slightly as she stared at the time.
No... there's nothing there.
"That's good... Do you want to go in? If you want to go in, I can go with you." Yatogami Tohka said rather arrogantly.
"Really? I don't really want to go in." Shi Chen decided to tease her a little.
"Huh?"
Tohka Yatogami paused for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "Aren't we on a date? Didn't you say a date is about going out and eating good food?"
"It seems so~ What should we do then?" Shichen pretended to be deep in thought.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing? Hurry up and take her inside!"
Kotori Itsuka's anxious voice came through the earpiece: "She's in a bad mood."
"Is Mr. Shichen playing hard to get?"
"I don't think this is suitable for a first date~"
"Given the elf's proud and aloof personality, I don't think there's any problem."
"Who are you?" Shi Chen asked in a low voice, covering his mouth.
Several voices suddenly appeared in my headphones, each one sounding quite proud.
"Oh, Brother Chen, let me introduce you, these are...."
"Never mind, I'll pass."
"Huh?"
"What?"
How could this be?
"Brother Chen, I think they can help you."
"No need. Sincerity is the ultimate weapon. It's pointless if someone else is helping you."
"Oh~ Brother Chen makes a lot of sense."
"Just help me arrange the venue, and I'll take care of the rest."
"If Brother Chen says that..."
"Oh, by the way, how did you know Tohka's feelings?"
"Hehe~ Brother Chen, have you forgotten? Lingyin is our Ratatosk's top analyst! By operating a specially made display device, in addition to the material composition, she can also roughly see the subtle changes in human emotions, and even the hidden abilities and characteristics of that person, by measuring the distribution of body temperature and brain waves."
"That's amazing? So you can tell what I'm capable of too?"
"I'm sorry, Tatsumi-kun, I can't see your abilities," Murasame Reine interjected.
"I see, but that's already very impressive."
"Thanks.
"Then you all get ready quickly..."
"Chen, what are you doing? Have you made up your mind? Are you going in or not?" Yatogami Tohka asked with dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, I want to go in, alright?"
D
"Hmph~ That's more like it. Let's go then."
"Tohka, I'm a little hungry. How about we go to this restaurant and get something to eat?"
"What? You're hungry? This is such a hassle... Fine, I'll reluctantly keep you company then." Tohka Yatogami looked helpless.
Shi Chen shook his head and chuckled, not caring about her arrogance.
The two entered the restaurant, and Shi Chen led her to a corner seat. They then casually ordered two rice bowls from the staff.
"Chen, why did you order so much?" As soon as the employee left, Yatogami Tohka couldn't help but ask.
"Eat less, there's plenty of delicious food to come, we need to leave some room in our stomachs, right?" Shi Chen explained with a smile.
"It seems so... By the way, I was just asking casually. You said you were hungry, but you only ate this little bit," Yatogami Tohka emphasized.
"Okay, you asked casually, I didn't think much of it," Shi Chen replied.
"Why are you laughing like that...?" Tohka Yatogami glared at him, her face flushed.
She couldn't describe the word "cheap" in her mind.
"I wasn't laughing," Shi Chen continued, still smiling.
"I'm not blind!"
"Shh~ Keep your voice down, don't disturb the other guests."
"Ugh..." Yatogami Tohka glared at Toki again before finally calming down.
There's really no need to worry about affecting people, since the guests here are all actors, all from Ratatosk.
A short while later, the female employee brought out their food, even though everyone else's tables were still empty.
However, Tohka Yatogami didn't care about that at all; she was staring at the steaming, fragrant food on the plate.
Unable to contain herself, she asked, her throat bobbing, "Chen, what... what is this? It smells so good!"
Gudong!
A clear swallowing sound rang out, but she didn't care anymore.
"This is called beef curry, it's delicious, but a bit spicy, so eat slowly," Shi Chen reminded him.
"Can I...can I eat this?" Tohka Yatogami's eyes were glued to the plate.
"Of course you can eat it."
"But...but I don't have any money." "You do know about money?" Shi Chen smiled. "Don't worry, it's my treat. We're good friends."
My money is yours.
"Really?"
"Just trust me."
"Then, shall I start eating?"
"Hehe~ Eat up."
"Um!"
Yatogami Tohka nodded vigorously, then picked up the spoon, left a spoonful, blew on it twice, and put it directly into her mouth.
After chewing just a couple of times, her eyes widened: "So delicious! So spicy! So delicious!"
"Haha~ Eat slowly, don't talk."
"Uh-huh!"
Shi Chen watched her eat heartily, and then picked up a spoon and tasted it himself.
The taste was indeed good, I don't know who made it, but it was a little worse than his cooking skills, although the spiciness suited his taste.
"Chen, I'm finished eating!"
"Hmm, eat...hmm?"
Shichen paused for a moment, looked at Yatogami Tohka's plate, and found that it was completely empty.
"Why are you eating so fast?" His eyebrow twitched.
"Huh? Is it fast? You're too slow."
"All right."
Shichen planned to eat quickly, but before he could even get the second spoonful to his mouth, he couldn't bring himself to eat it.
Stare~
Tohka Yatogami was staring at him, at his spoon, and at least at his plate.
"...Do you still want to eat?"
"Hmm? Me? I don't want to eat anymore. Are you unable to eat? If you can't eat, I can help you. I've already eaten, do you mind?"
Tohka Yatogami blinked: "Tatsumi, aren't you my good friend? I don't mind."
"Well... you eat it." Shi Chen pushed the plate in front of her.
"Is it okay?" Tohka Yatogami's eyes lit up again.
"Okay, I can't eat anymore."
"Thank you, Chen, you're really kind."
"Praise me is fine, just don't praise me as a good person."
"I don't understand, but I'm starting to eat anyway!"
In just a couple of bites, Yatogami Tohka finished her meal, and Toki finally understood her appetite.
"You haven't had enough to eat, have you? I'll take you to eat something else."
"Is there anything else good to eat?"
"Everything you just saw was delicious!"
"Let's go then!" Tohka Yatogami took the initiative to pull Tokiomi away.
When Shi Chen arrived at the cashier, he was surprised to see a woman with heavy dark circles under her eyes. It was hard not to suspect that she hadn't slept for several days.
"Hello, what is it...?" Murasame Reine asked calmly, looking at Toki.
"No...it's nothing."
Shi Chen looked her over and said, "Very cute."
"Is that so..." Murasame Reine said calmly.
"Tatsu, what's so cute?" Yatogami Tohka frowned as she stared at Murasame Reine.
I was referring to her clothes.
"Am I cuter than you?"
"You're definitely the cutest, Tohka."
"Hmph~ That's more like it."
"Let's go."
"Let's go!"
Without paying, Toki and Yatogami Tohka left the restaurant.
After leaving the restaurant, Toki and Yatogami Tohka began to wander through the alley, buying one of every type of food.
Simple fried rice, grilled squid, fried noodles, candied hawthorn... were enough to make Yatogami Tohka rave about them.
After all, she had never eaten these things before today.
However, she had quite a big appetite; she ate from beginning to end, but her stomach didn't change much.
"Chen, is this what a date is like? I'm so satisfied! I love dating! I want to go on more dates!" Yatogami Tohka said with lingering enjoyment as they left the alley.
"Dating isn't something you can just do casually~"
Why?
"Dating is something that two people who are close can do."
"Then I want to go on dates with you again, Chen!"
"That's no problem... I'll spend time with you whenever I have time."
"It was a promise!"
"Yeah, I'd be a dog if I lied to you."
"So what should we do next? Is this the end of the date?"
"Don't rush, there's one last stop." Tokishi pulled Yatogami Tohka into a bakery.
This shop does not belong to the Ratatosk organization.
