An hour before dotonbori.
"Break free! It feels like I would have a marathon every morning if I could work this leisurely and eat well without any effort" Sanubari said as he looked at the dishes that filled his desk.
Half her order has been delivered after she finished her shark fin. Various Chinese preparations that seemed to smile seductively, stimulating Sanubari to immediately enjoy it. The teenager licked his lips. He did not care about the true purpose of being invited to this place. A goal he now knows and believes in. Namely, eat as much.
"Itadakimasu!" Sanubari clenched both palms, "uh, wait a minute! Isn't this a Chinese restaurant? Hm, is the Chinese good-bye to eating?"
"Of course." Sai wiped his mouth with a tissue. His shark fins are also gone.
"Ah, whatever then! Which one did you eat, huh?" Sanubari's eyes moved here and there.
He was confused about where to start his meal. In the end, he took the lumpia with his bare hands because he did not want to be bothered with chopsticks.
"Hm, this is delicious," Netra Sanubari narrowed as her lips widened, "Sister Sai, let's try it too!"
"Repend it yourself! I've had enough." Sai smiled.
Sanubari completely devoured it without hesitation. Ducks and beef steaks were eaten without the aid of tools. The remnants of the spice attached to the finger licked it until clean. Sai looked in wonder at the way Sanubari ate. Sanubari is like a child who has just learned to eat.
When Sanubari was biting the chickens, the man who greeted them earlier came back. The man said, "Sorry to interrupt your meal," looking at Sai and Sanubari in turn without letting go of a smile, "how is the dish?"
"Feed!" Sanubari gave his thumb.
While Sai looked around, looking for a figure that might come with the man. However, he did not find anyone else. It has been a place since they first arrived.
"I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. Again I apologize."
Sai felt strange about the repeated apologies. His premonition said something was being hidden by this man before him. However, he did not interrupt at all and revealed his suspicions.
"Master Yang today could not attend because there was an urgent need. But no need to worry, the food in the restaurant today can still be enjoyed to the fullest for free." The man continued.
"What about the contract?" ask Sai calmly.
From the beginning, this matter can actually be resolved without having to do face-to-face. Such is the task of the Eiji division, solving problems through digital media. Surprisingly, this face-to-face task was still given yesterday.
"It can be continued via email. Mr. Yang will approve all offers. That's what Mr. Yang said before leaving," the man said with a big smile.
Sai looked at the man full of probes. He knew the man was just showing a fake smile. There was a faint tension heard from the man's voice.
"Disregarding this meeting is a mistake. If Mr. Yang dares to renege on the agreement or to disobey, then we will not hesitate." Sai warned.
"Master who understands the risks. He can't escape secretly." The man was convincing.
Sanubari did not understand the contents of Sai's and that person's conversation. There is no lesson Sanubari can learn from today's meeting, even if Eiji tells him to add experience and study with Sai. Not wanting to take a headache, he also busied himself with food, ignoring conversations that he thought were not important.
The food came, the man said goodbye. The next few minutes used Sanubari to empty the contents of the plate on the table. The wine in the bottle became the only one intact untouched.
Sai was not wanting to drink alcohol early in the morning, while Sanubari could not drink it because it was illegal for him. Both of them drink only water. As soon as all the menu went into Sanubari's stomach, they walked towards the station.
"Ah, his fullness," said Sanubari, patting his dense stomach, "out of food, out for a walk. It's good to empty the stomach again."
Sanubari. Today's mission is really just for a leisurely stroll. No shootouts, no fights. Good mission to refresh the mentality for Sanubari.
"Where are we going after this? Following Eiji's brother and Ren's brother?" tanya Sanubari who dominated the conversation.
They went back through the graffiti-covered tunnel. Sai tried to remember Eiji's orders before replying, "We take a walk to Dotonbori alone. Great view there."
From Eiji's message of time in the Shinkansen, Eiji did not expect Sanubari's arrival. Sai's presence might ease the work. However, the presence of Sanubari with high curiosity can be an obstacle. Sai understands that. Sanubari's only advantage Sai can see to date is his physical dexterity. Beyond that, Sanubari is terrible.
Maybe because of Sanubari's little experience, so there is not much potential that he can highlight. For now, Sai will play a good nanny.
After exiting the station and walking a few meters, they were greeted by a procession. The girls dressed as Miko lined up neatly, dancing to the yosakoi music. Naruko sakura wood rang loudly every time their hands moved, forming harmony with the cheers of the dancers and the chants of the song.
Their appearance reminds Sanubari of Anki. When she first met, Anki danced under a maze of sakura canopies. His movements reflected in the eyes of Sanubari who stood smiling among the ranks of other citizens.
He was lucky enough to get an empty space, so he could see clearly. Sai stood next to him. The music changed, the tempo slowed down. Sanubari returned to the real view before him.
The dancers disperse regularly without stopping dancing. They approached the audience who were lined up on the sidelines, giving something out of their respective hakama pockets. Sai and Sanubari became one of the lucky ones.
After that, the dancers returned to their original positions. The music stopped, they pecked for a moment in varied poses. However, elegant and artful. The music is played again along with a sprinkling of sakura petals stocked from a car decorated to resemble a castle, giving the effect of sakura rain. The dance came back to life.
Sakura showered the dancers and some of the passengers. The pink petals swirled in the wind, expanding the range of the spread. Two, three petals landed on Sanubari's hair.
The young man lowered his head, watching the parcel in his palm. A pack of brand-name dark chocolate biscuits and peach bell hangers.
"Pink again?" his mind is not out of thought with what he got, "maybe I'll just give it to Anki."
Sanubari put it in a bag. Suppose it was a white graded green or a white graded blue, maybe Sanubari would hang the strap to his own bag. He doesn't need pink objects, even though the white graded pink looks good. According to him, it was more appropriate for Anki who also matched the sakura bobble necklace.
They walked back after the yosakoi squad passed. The procession is still long, but Sanubari has no interest in standing in place any longer. He was more interested in the beautiful scenery that Sai meant.
"Sak Sai, how long are we going to get to a place of good views?"
"We've arrived."
"Until?" Sanubari raised next to the eyebrows.
He's spinning. As far as the retina can capture Sanubari, there are only a series of buildings that are neatly arranged and neat. Modern architecture is varied and unique. Sanubari did not know what the building was. However, very clean conditions make it unsightly.
"I thought we'd see nature, plants, animals. Probably deer. Maybe a panda." Sanubari looked up, staring at the image of a giant running man emblazoned on top of the building.
At first, he thought the picture was not so big. But again the estimates are wrong after they get closer. The two continued walking, passing over an artistic bridge. The nuance is very different from Indonesia.
"The city is beautiful, very artsy" Sanubari commented sincerely as he climbed down the stairs.
The view cannot be separated from the flow of the canal is wide enough. The distance of the bridge and the water level is quite high. Apparently, the boat could pass underneath.
Until finally, Sanubari's nose sniffed the delicious aroma, then his head was turned in the other direction. "It's delicious. What is this smell?" tanyakanya.
Sai traces the direction of Sanubari. "Takoyaki's. You want?" tanya Sai turned back to Sanubari.
The teenager smiled widely while nodding enthusiastically without embarrassment. He had just walked a long way, roughly still was the space in his hull for a few more servings. Sanubari was sure of that.
"Wait here! I'll buy it." Sai runs into a takoyaki shop.
Sanubari gave a glance. This place is surrounded by shopping centers. However, the atmosphere was so quiet, like it was far from the crowd. The air is also pollution free. A very comfortable place to refresh your mind.
Since there are no motor vehicles, pedestrians do not have to worry about getting hit. But who would have thought that in a place like the dead city Sanubari would be trampled by another human being.
