"When it comes to outlying islands, this is definitely the first stop."

The girl sitting on the chair shook the seat under her excitedly, making a squeaking sound on the ground.

There were people coming and going around, but no one paid much attention to Suzuki Shimizu's actions.

"Grandma Suzuno, two bowls of ramen!"

"okay."

At the ramen stall, Bai Qiyun looked at the first place the girl brought him to, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Isn't this Suzuno's ramen stall? What's there to see?

Perhaps because he was embarrassed by the young man's eyes, Qing Shui scratched his head and said.

"Hey, didn't I have breakfast? It just so happens that I haven't tasted Grandma Suzuno's cooking for a long time."

While they were talking, their ramen was served.

Suzuno Chika's eyes never left Shimizu's body, and she looked no different from a kind grandmother.

"Xiao Qingshui, here you go."

After saying thank you, Qing Shui held the noodle bowl and started to eat happily.

The slurping sound made Bai Qiyun feel that the ramen in front of him became much more fragrant.

This guy might have the potential to be the chief writer of a food publication.

A few minutes later, Qingshui put down the bowl without finishing, lay on the chair and touched his slightly swollen belly.

"I'm full, I'm full. Grandma Suzuno's cooking is still so good."

When she was a child, her family's conditions were poor, so Suzuno often cooked for her. Therefore, although her family's conditions were poor at that time, she never suffered from hunger.

Because it was still breakfast time, there were more and more people around the ramen stall. After finishing their meal, the two of them did not continue chatting with Suzuno, paid and left.

The surrounding sacred cherry trees swayed their branches and leaves in the spring breeze, and the cherry blossoms blooming overhead fell to the ground as they swayed, like a lake of cherry blossoms.

Continuing along the long street, Suzuki Shimizu worked hard to play the role of 'guide'.

She told everything she knew, very hard.

"This place is a bathing pool for people to take a bath. It used to be very crowded. I heard that there was also a mixed bathing project here, but the proprietress has quit now and has been taken over and turned into a clothing store."

"There used to be a stall here, which was a small street izakaya. Adults used to gather here after get off work. However, the old man seemed to be in poor health. He fell down while pushing the cart and fell down. I won’t come here to sell a stall anymore.”

"Under that bridge was the favorite place for children to gather in the past. I used to play there with my friends when I was young, but now I can't understand the things that children play with."

Following Qing Shui's gaze, several human cubs were hiding under the bridge playing a card game called 'Seven Saints' Summon', making various loud noises while playing.

Even the big yellow dog that was being beaten up waggled its tail and spared them.

Dogs would shake their heads just looking at a human pup of this age.

Bai Qiyun slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Qing Shui aside. The girl's face was full of nostalgia.

Childhood is always a beautiful time, but everyone looks forward to growing up in their childhood.

Suddenly, you can never go back to the past.

Perhaps it was because Qing Shui had been away from the island for a while, and the places she introduced to Bai Qiyun were all memories of her childhood, and many of them are no longer traceable now.

Of course, except for a certain gathering place of human cubs.

Although people cannot always be children, some people will always be children.

Um...I don't know how many children the big yellow dog suffered.

"By the way, Brother Bai, speaking of somewhere I want to go, I do have a goal."

Qing Shui hammered his palms heavily and thought of a place that he had wanted to go to very much since before.

"follow me."

The girl couldn't help but pull the boy through the alley, and finally stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated wooden house.

"Yoshinoya?"

Bai Qiyun looked up and read out the name on the plaque.

Although the name is XX Home, it is actually just the name of the shop, not that person's home.

Judging from the decoration outside, this should be a place to eat.

Although it was a while after dinner time, it was still only about ten in the morning. A serious restaurant like this should still be preparing ingredients. It is very common for many restaurants to open their doors in the afternoon.

The door here was tightly closed. If it weren't for the signs of opening and closing in recent days, Bai Qiyun would have thought that this store had closed down.

"Squeak~"

Suzuki Shimizu opened the door and walked inside with his head in the air.

Because it was still too early, there were no lights on inside the store, so it looked dark.

"Hey, is anyone there?"

The girl's voice echoed in the house, but no one answered.

However, Bai Qiyun was not worried about the store being closed, because the tables and chairs in the room were neatly arranged, and it looked like they had just been wiped last night, and there was no dust.

Sure enough, after a while, a lean old man opened the door curtain from the back kitchen and walked out alone.

"Are there any guests? It's really early."

The old man was not too tall, and his body was stooped. At most, he could only reach the bridge of Bai Qiyun's nose.

Is it really okay for such a person to run a restaurant, or is there a chef in the back kitchen to help?

Bai Qiyun, who has been a cook for more than ten years, naturally knows how hard it is to be a cook. It would be impossible for an old man of his age to survive without the strong body of his old man.

"Boss! This way, this way!"

While Bai Qiyun was dazed, Qing Shui had already found a seat by the window and sat down. She waved her arms and shouted loudly.

Really, where did this kid come from?

Bai Qiyun suppressed the curse in his heart and followed her to the side and sat down face to face.

The girl took the menu handed over by the boss and drew circles on it with a pen.

"This, this, and this, ah, I want this too."

Because all the expenses during the trip were taken care of by Bai Qiyun, the girl took orders much more casually.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bai Qiyun doesn't have any objections to this. As long as you can finish it, just order it and don't waste it.

"By the way, two more bottles of wine...don't look at me, it's him who wants to drink."

Facing the old man's gaze, Qingshui quickly pointed to the young man looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Uh-huh?"

Bai Qiyun was slightly startled when he heard the voice in his ear suddenly became louder.

What happened? Underage drinking is not allowed here either.

Perhaps knowing that he looked a bit young, he directly placed Tian Ling's identity certificate on the table.

The three characters "Adult" were clearly printed on it, which could not be faked, and the boss's doubts were instantly dispelled.

"Okay, two guests, the food you ordered will be ready soon, please wait a moment."

The old man put away the menus in front of them and walked towards the kitchen. After his figure disappeared from the young man's sight, Bai Qiyun looked at the girl in front of him and asked.

"So is there any reason to come here?"

He looked through all the dishes on the menu and found nothing out of the ordinary.

If there is something really special about it, it would be that this restaurant has a lot of Liyue dishes on its menu.

But this meant nothing to him, a Liyue native.

"Well..."

When Qingshui mentioned the reason for coming here, she was silent for a rare moment. She leaned her cheek against her palm and quietly recalled the past.

The spring in Inazuma is much longer than that in other countries.

Cherry blossoms, people's shouts, and parents who always go out early and come back late.

These three things are the childhood of Suzuki Shimizu.

Logically speaking, spring should be the time when all things sprout, but for girls, that only means that their already tired parents become even more haggard.

In order to increase their family's income, they would spend extra time helping farmers during spring plowing in exchange for some mola or food that could fill their stomachs.

Even if it's just a few violets.

If the family is really so tight, then she doesn't think it's a big deal.

As long as you eat something that can fill your stomach, you don't need to pursue fancy food and clothing.

But the fact is exactly the opposite. Although the residents at the bottom of Inazuma are not living an easy life, if they are just trying to survive, even the farmers in the mountains will not be so tired.
