Chapter 70 Is this guy an idiot?
"I'm sorry I damaged your dessert shop. Consider this money as compensation."
The storefront of Ando Japanese Confectionery Shop was charred black, and the air still smelled of burnt fire. Shen Yi walked out of the shop, took out a wad of cash from his pocket, and stuffed it into the hand of Ando Rena, who was still somewhat dazed.
"Th...thank you?"
Rena Ando, holding her son, looked at the young man who had just punched her family's chef into a monster, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
They had lived with Saito Kenji for over a decade, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they had supported each other. There was definitely affection between them, but in the end, Saito Kenji was a murderer, and even a genuine monster. From any perspective, Shen Yi was helping them, so she could only thank him with mixed feelings.
Even Ando Hiroto in her arms had stopped crying and was secretly glancing at Bibutou out of the corner of his eye, thinking to himself, "That big brother's armor was really cool."
They're just kids, after all; nothing is more interesting than something fancy or frivolous.
"No need, after all, we're the ones who smashed it."
Shen Yi waved his hand, preparing to leave, but Xingguo pushed him aside. With her signature bright smile on her face, she said to Ando Rena, "Ms. Ando, leave the promotion and operation of the confectionery shop to me!"
It's obvious that after pulling Ando Rena away, Koka must have talked to her about quite a few things, such as the dismal business situation of this confectionery shop.
Shen Yi chuckled. Although he despised Xingguo's boundless kindness in the movie, he could completely accept Xingguo's actions in helping others in any way she could, unaffected by the popularity of the scene. After all, even the Happy Coloring Yorozuya had to charge for their work.
That's why, even though Shen Yi had already begun to expand his protective business empire through the game company, he didn't ask Xingguo to manage it for him; that wasn't the life Xingguo truly wanted.
"I'll help too!"
Upon hearing this, Shengzhen also came over, looking very serious. "Although I don't know how to make desserts, I know what desserts taste good."
Fortunately:...
Triplets: ...
Haiyue 9:……
Rena Ando:……
Hiroto Ando:…
Is this guy an idiot?
Shen Yi: You guys are just finding out now?
"Sheng Zhen."
Xingguo suddenly turned her head, her smile unchanged, but her tone became more serious and unquestionable, "Starting next week, you will go to adult college."
"Huh? Why?"
Shengzhen's smile froze on his face instantly. He still had to work to earn money, do temporary jobs, and go to school. There simply wasn't enough time.
"Because you can't even tell what's wrong and what's right."
Shen Yi shrugged. Given the treatment Shengzhen's mother received in the Stormmark family, giving her a picture book to teach Shengzhen to read was already the limit; anything more would be exceeding the limit.
In the concept of Shengzhen, it seems that as long as the other party admits their mistake, they can be forgiven. But just like the story of "Zhou Chu Eliminating the Three Evils" that he just told Bandou, in human society, even children understand that doing wrong requires paying a price.
"But I'm already very busy..."
Shengzhen looked pitifully at Bantou, trying to find an ally. "We've been good partners working temporary jobs together before."
Bandou silently turned his head away. Although he also felt that Shen Yi and Xingguo's decision came somewhat suddenly, upon closer reflection, he realized that Shengzhen's common sense was indeed worrying.
Based on what Shengzhen just said, "He already knows he was wrong," the fact that Bandou didn't punch him in the face is already a sign that he treats him like a brother, after all, that's his mother's killer.
So Shengzhen could only turn to Haiyue 9 for help, hoping that he could speak up for his freedom.
"Why are you looking at me? I don't plan to settle down in the human world."
Haiyue 9's voice was as calm as his expression. It was true that he had the Mimicry Key and could transform into a human, but that did not mean he had any deep interest in human society.
The reason he traveled with Saki and Banto was purely to avenge his brother. Once he had dealt with those bastards from the Strommark family, he would naturally return to the Sugar Man world and continue living his life, at most coming here occasionally for a visit.
Just as humans wouldn't suddenly decide to settle in the world of sugar people, in the eyes of humans, most sugar people are no different from demons and monsters.
Just then, Shen Yi's bracelet vibrated slightly, and the Red Queen's voice clearly entered his ears through bone conduction on his glasses: "BOSS, I have confirmed the location of the operation. The target is located in a high-end villa area, and the coordinates have been marked."
Shen Yi's lips curled up slightly. They've finally arrived.
"I'm going to take care of some personal matters."
He turned around, got on his motorcycle, and waved to Xingguo.
"Be careful on the road!"
As Xingguo spoke, she pulled Ando Rena into the confectionery shop, intending to discuss the shop's promotional strategy with her in detail, leaving Shengzhen and Bandou staring at each other blankly. As for Haiyue 9, he naturally went to look for stones.
Following the location, Shen Yi quickly arrived at his destination on his motorcycle.
Before me stood a three-story European-style villa, its white exterior walls gleaming softly in the afternoon sun. Several luxury cars were parked in front of the house, making it look no different from any other ordinary wealthy residence.
As for the original owner of the villa, he was probably either turned into acrylic sheets or had long since become a dark snack, ending up in the stomachs of those temporary sugar workers.
The most criticized aspect of the later episodes of "Kamen Rider Gabe" is this: the villains are capturing people everywhere, while the Kamen Riders can only passively search for them, and the camera cuts to a peaceful and ordinary scene from time to time, creating an extremely strong sense of dissonance.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Gabu, Valen, and Haiyue 9 are called "Sugar Man Hunters" and seem very powerful. But if you think about it carefully, how are they any different from the bounty hunters in One Piece? Bounty hunters may be good at fighting, but pirates have plenty of food to eat.
As Shen Yi pondered how to fundamentally curb these temporary sugar workers, he stepped into the villa.
A huge electronic screen hangs on the wall in the center of the hall, on which the virtual image of the samurai-armored young man smiles at the door.
In the hall, there were several long tables covered with white tablecloths, on which were displayed a dazzling array of desserts: strawberry mousse, matcha cake, caramel pudding, chocolate chip cookies... The presentation was exquisite and the arrangement was meticulous, and at first glance, it really looked like a real dessert.
This guy actually prepared desserts that humans could eat.
Shen Yi picked up a piece of cake, smelled it, and couldn't help but click his tongue.
It's important to know that, apart from Isamu's uncle who is suspected of having pica, the vast majority of Sugar People have a completely different sense of taste from humans. Human desserts taste like cardboard to them, and only stones—or more accurately, minerals—can give them a flavor.
Haiyue 9 is a typical example; that guy often squats by the river picking up stones to eat.
The fact that this imposter in the samurai helmet was able to procure so many decent-looking human desserts suggests that he has at least put in some effort in this area. Of course, a more likely reason is that the happier the human emotions are, the better the quality of the dark snacks produced, which are the raw materials for these products.
