"Are there any good food recommendations around here?" Ye Shuang looked at the Little Radish in front of him and couldn't help but smile as he asked, "You know, something more suitable for us out-of-towners to eat."
"Sushi!" the little girl reached out her hand.
"We eat that back home too," Ye Shuang said. After all, it was something they could often eat at Japanese restaurants, and it wasn't rare at all.
"It's different. The sushi grandpa is a master." Little Radish put her hands on her hips.
"A master?" Ye Shuang was taken aback for a moment, but Chen Qin beside him said, "It probably means something like a Sushi Master or Tempura Master."
"Uh-huh." Little Radish nodded her head. "If I say it like that, it sells a lot better."
Wasn't this kid a bit too honest?
"Well then, little guide, can you take us there?" Ye Shuang still decided to try it out to see if the taste here was any different. He then asked Chen Qin and the others, who didn't seem to have any objections.
"Sure, it's right over there!"
Little Radish immediately started jogging. Her energetic appearance made Ye Shuang not know whether to laugh or cry, but he quickened his pace to keep up.
The sushi restaurant wasn't far away. The simple and rustic shop had a sliding door with today's recommended menu taped to it. After Little Radish pulled the door open, she immediately shouted inside,
"Grandpa, Yako tricked some customers into coming!"
This sentence was spoken in Chinese, making Ye Shuang and the others look at each other in dismay.
This wouldn't happen to be a scam shop, would it?
However, considering it was a shop on the main street, Ye Shuang still led the group inside. The interior was entirely styled in natural wood, carrying a faint aroma of cooking. On the linen-covered wall to the side, wooden boards carved with the menu and prices were hanging.
Ye Shuang glanced at the prices; they were quite normal. It was likely a small shop that locals would frequent as well.
"Are you all from China?" The shop manager was an old man. Upon seeing Ye Shuang and the others, he smiled very politely. "I'm truly sorry, Yako is just a bit mischievous. I apologize for the trouble."
"It's nothing, she's a very cute kid." Ye Shuang glanced at Little Radish and asked in slight surprise, "Do you speak Chinese too, manager?"
"Ah, I have relatives living in China, so I learned a little." The old man said as he handed the menus to Ye Shuang and the group.
After a brief exchange, Ye Shuang and his friends began to look at the menu. It not only had English but even Chinese.
"I thought we wouldn't be able to read it," Tang Keke said.
"Yeah, it's very convenient." Bai Yuyou also took a look and found she had no problem reading it at all.
Just as Ye Shuang was about to order, he noticed that Little Radish was standing by the edge of the table, blinking her big round eyes and looking at them curiously.
"Do you want to eat with us?" Ye Shuang asked with a smile.
"Can I?"
Before Little Radish could finish, the old man, who was wiping his hands with a hot towel nearby, immediately said, "Yako, you must not disturb the guests."
"It's fine, your granddaughter is very cute." Ye Shuang himself liked children a lot, so he shook his head, not minding at all.
"Haha, Yako isn't my granddaughter," the old man chuckled.
Ye Shuang and the others were taken aback by this. Just as Keke instinctively wanted to blurt out something about having a daughter in his old age, Yako herself said, "My dad is the head priest of the Toyomizu Shrine. My grandpa passed away before I was born."
"Oh?" Ye Shuang was a bit surprised. "The shrine... so that means you're the daughter of the person in charge?"
"Uh-huh." Little Radish nodded her head. "I am indeed Futaba Yako."
At this time, the old man beside them also explained, "The end of our street is the path leading up to the shrine on the mountain. The nearby residents all go there to pray for blessings."
"Brother, should we go visit it?" Keke asked curiously.
"It's better not to visit shrines casually. After all, we don't know what is enshrined there." Ye Shuang shook his head; this kind of thing was rather sensitive.
"If it's a war criminal shrine, should we secretly set it on fire?" Keke said.
"Shh." Ye Shuang coughed lightly in embarrassment, then looked at the old man and Yako. However, it was obvious that they didn't really mind this sort of thing, or rather, they didn't understand what Keke meant.
"What the Toyomizu Shrine enshrines is a cat named Merlin." Instead, the old man spoke first, introducing the general situation. This was originally a tourist area, and the local merchants loved introducing nearby attractions.
"A cat?" Ye Shuang paused for a moment.
"It's our family's cat," Yako immediately said, gesturing with her hands. "Super fat."
"Your family's cat is a god?"
"Yup." Yako said proudly. "Merlin's children will inherit this title in the future too!"
"So it's an inherited title. Now I'm a bit curious."
Listening to the conversation between Yako and Tang Keke, Ye Shuang became a bit interested. He then looked at Chen Qin and Bai Yuyou. At this moment, Bai Yuyou was focused on reading the menu, while Chen Qin was looking at the cute Little Radish with a smile on her face.
"Isn't she cute?" Ye Shuang asked. After all, Futaba Yako looked just like a porcelain doll, so it was no wonder Chen Qin was full of joy.
"Yes, very cute."
"Let's have one."
Hearing this, a hint of unnaturalness appeared on Chen Qin's face, but she still earnestly nodded her chin: "Okay!"
After a while, a few more customers entered the shop, so Ye Shuang stopped his conversation with the old man. Soon, plates of food were brought to the table. They were mostly the types of sushi commonly seen back home, and there weren't many surprises in terms of taste either.
Common didn't mean it wasn't good, though. After all, it's hard to make fresh ingredients taste bad.
After everyone had a light bite to fill their stomachs, they planned to go out and continue strolling around.
"Do you want to go visit the shrine?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Isn't it a bit late?" Chen Qin glanced at her watch. It would be dark soon, which obviously wasn't a suitable time to visit.
"Tomorrow?"
"Aren't we going to see the cherry blossoms tomorrow?" Keke asked.
"Visit in the morning, see the cherry blossoms in the afternoon," Bai Yuyou suggested, which seemed to be acceptable to everyone.
Then the next thing was to solve the sleeping arrangements.
"Let's find a hotel nearby," Ye Shuang said.
"Okay."
But at this moment, Tang Keke scratched her head. "Hey, did we forget something?"
"What?"
"I can't remember..."
Bai Yuyou added, "We aren't full."
"Then let's go find some more snacks."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, a certain short-haired girl suddenly sneezed for no reason, "Achoo..."
"Caught a cold?" Beside the girl, An Shiyi, who was wearing cat-ear headphones, looked over. "You're weak."
"No, my nose just tickled a bit," An Shiyu said, but in her heart, she couldn't help wondering what time Ye Shuang would come over tomorrow.
"Oh, even if it is a cold, I have a folk remedy for that. Just take a green onion, aim it at your backside, and shove it in." Before An Shiyi could finish, she nearly ate an elbow strike from An Shiyu.
"Ouch, what are you doing?!"
