Find Me in 1000 Years

Koin

He grabbed the coin and bit it. The woman was wide-eyed because the coin was still intact. "It's real gold, huh?"

Ken smiled. "Take it."

But then, the woman returned pouting. "I don't want to take money without working. Is there anything I can do?" ask Ken.

The man thought for a moment. He laughed softly. "I didn't eat right. Do you have a cake or something to cover your mouth with some warm tea?"

"Ah, I know!" The woman slid down from the bed and stood up. "Leave it to me. I'll bring you the best food in this place. Wait yeah?" He rushed towards the door.

Ken smiled seeing the woman come back cheerful. Seeing the smile that rose in the woman's lips signified that the problem was over.

Though, that's an estimate miss Ken. He forgot, the coin is still with the original model.

The woman went down the stairs with a face to the kitchen, making the restaurant owner who was sitting around in his restaurant flabbergasted. What the hell's going on? Why are they 'doing it' so fast'? Could it be that Me Hua would lie that they did it?

The man was curious to follow him into the kitchen. There it turns out that the woman is attacking water to make tea. He took the most expensive tea from the kitchen shelf.

"Me Hua's. The price of tea is very expensive because this tea plant is very rare. I'm not sure that stupid guy can afford it."

"I didn't sleep with him, but he paid me with this to accompany him to tea." The woman cheerfully showed the gold coin to the man. "Also I ordered the chef to make him a manju cake (a Japanese cake) because I wanted to surprise him so he would be happy. These coins are enough to pay for all that?" asked the innocent woman to the man who owned the inn.

The man grabbed the coin and bit it, just like Me Hua did and as it turned out, the coin was still intact.

"Original, isn't it Mr Ejiro?" asked the woman to confirm with her eyeballs.

"Mk." But the man was surprised to see the coin imprinted with pictures and years. At that time, the printing press had not yet been created, and the year referred to in the coin was also still several hundred years into the future. That guy, what's coming from the future?

He looked at Me Hua. The woman did not understand because she was illiterate. He was waiting for hot water and cake from the chef in the kitchen cheerfully.

What is the name of that man? Finally ... I found it.

Ken was so happy when the woman returned with warm food and tea. Even more surprised when the woman brought him a manju cake but made in Chinese style. The cake was made into the shape of a rabbit by the restaurant's chef.

"Sorry, he can't be as beautiful as Japanese, '" Me Hua said with a big smile.

"Indeed it doesn't look like a Japanese one, but it's no less beautiful than a Japanese one, either" said the man, fascinated by the cake's appearance.

"really?"

Ken nodded.

"I'll tell him to make him happy."

Both laughed out. The woman then poured on the small cup, the tea she had brewed.

The man tasted it. "Mmh, what is this? It tastes good." He's surprised.

"Yes, this is expensive tea. According to the coin you gave."

"It doesn't have to be, Miss."

"Ne kok anyway? I'm not rich lady." The woman blushed with flushed cheeks.

"Oh, then let's get acquainted." Ken put his hand out. "My name is Ken."

"I'm Me Hua." The girl welcomed the man's hand.

Ken went down alone with hesitation. The dining table in the restaurant below began to be filled with customers.

The innkeeper noticed the man's arrival and immediately approached him. "Oh, you want dinner?"

"Maybe you can sit here." The owner of the restaurant directed him to a smaller table in one corner across the stairs.

"Ah, ta-but .. I have no money. Can I eat but my boss pays?" ask the man innocently.

"O-oh, that, but the coin you gave my comfort lady was more than enough to pay for your dinner too, so I don't think you should worry about that."

Ken rolled his eyes in pleasure. "really? Oh, well. I-I'm going to eat now," said Ken so excitedly. He sat down at the spot the man had offered and ordered food. The man with the codet told his servant Ken's order.

After that Ejiro stood for a moment beside the short-haired man, then pulled out a chair. "May I have a chat with you while waiting for the food to come?"

At that moment, Ken felt disinclined. It's nothing, he must be as invisible as possible so that his identity is not revealed because it limits himself to associate with people who look smarter than him.

"May I meet you?" The owner of the inn put his hand out. "I'm Ejiro. Watanabe Ejiro. Your name is Ken, right? I heard it from Me Hua."

Ken welcomed the hands of the man in the pocket. "Oh, yes. Ken." He was a little relieved because if Me Hua could share his story with this man, this man could be trusted even though he remembered Me Hua had told him that his boss was also firm.

"Ken what?" The man still held his hand.

"Ken Tachibana."

Ejiro finally took off the man's hand. "Eh, you're great at having gold coins because not just anyone has coins like that. Is that really yours?"

Ken knows why the man in the codet is sitting there. The man who owned the inn was apparently curious about the coin. He even though using the coin to solve the problem but what happened instead came a new problem. "Eh, it was given by my friend." Head nodded.

"really? Where did your friend get that coin?"

"Ah, I don't know." Ken looked down, he played his fingers under the table.

Seeing from his style of speaking made the innkeeper more curious. "Where do you live?"

"Mmh?" Confusion was evident on the short-haired man's face. "Eh, actually I .. uh, forgot the memory."

"Forgot memory?" Classic lies are easy to detect.

"Eh, yes, and I met them." Ken pointed towards the room the robbers were staying in.

"They?"

"Eh, yes, and I just got to know them."

"Such ...." The man still watched Ken.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask my boss. We haven't known him for a day."

He didn't lie apparently. Did he really forget his memories? "But you guys don't seem to understand. Why are you still together?"

"I'm forced. I'm trying to help the Chinese who helped me on the road. Otherwise, I don't know what they'll do to him. I was asked to be his man ...."

"Oi, did you eat first?" The robber chief had already come out of his room. The road still staggered and went down the stairs.

Ken stood up and chased him. He helped the man down the stairs.

It seems he's not lying. Memory loss yes ....
