Volume 1: Japanese Storm Chapter 17: In Okinawa (4)

  Izakaya is a traditional Japanese gastropub that specializes in serving alcoholic beverages and food. Originating from the Edo period, it is said to have started as a simple snack provided by sake shop owners for customers to drink immediately after purchasing alcohol. As time passed, izakayas gradually became an indispensable part of Japanese culture. Unlike ordinary bars that focus on serving only drinks, izakayas offer relatively high-quality food but differ from snack shops. In the 1970s, izakayas were places where only male company employees would go to drink. However, as times changed, women also began to enjoy the variety of drinks and dishes offered by izakayas. After the 1980s, izakayas started to become chain stores, enriching not only the types of food and drinks but also becoming more affordable for the masses. Due to this reason, izakayas became a place where people gather, chat with friends, and have a good time. Students, company employees, and friends often hold "simple parties" at izakayas.

  Hirai Emiko saw the noren curtain lifted, and two somewhat young customers came in. She was taken aback for a moment, then bowed her head and said, "Welcome! Please come this way!"

  After making eighteen turns to the left and right, they finally squeezed through the crowd and found an empty tatami mat. The two of them took off their shoes and sat down, ordered food, and from May onwards, Cherie stared blankly at Jerry!

  "What's on my face? Miss May."

  "Ah~ No way~ No way~ I was going to ask, Jerry, you're really only eight years old?!"

  "Yes, just eight years old!"

  "If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it no matter what!"

  "What wouldn't I believe? An eight-year-old child such a genius? Ludwig van Beethoven performed on stage at the age of eight, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began composing at four, and actually, I'm just like them!"

  This is really nonsense!

  "Beethoven? Mozart? Who are they?"

  Upon hearing Rei's words in May, Jerry was taken aback for a moment. "Great musicians! Miss May, don't you even know these two people?"

  Shigeshige shook his head in May confusion.

  "It seems your life is quite lacking in fun! Tell me, Miss May, what were you doing at my age?"

  "When I was your age?" Reda thought for a moment, tilting his head in May, "When I was your age, I was still in the Fatah training camp, guns, explosives, hand-to-hand combat, everything you need to use in battle, I had to learn, just these things."

  "Alright! Forget about those things! Listen, Miss May, from now on you won't need these things anymore!"

  Chongxin was just about to ask a question when the delicious dishes and fine wine were already served.

  "Then let's eat first! Try the caviar fried rice here, hmm, just wait a minute!" Jerry brought over an egg from the side and cracked it open, pouring it onto the rice. This move was something he learned from "Non-Verbal Cues". "Come on, try some!"

  Chongxin took the bowl in May, looked at the red caviar on top of the egg, frowned, raw? However, looking at Jerry's expectant eyes, she still picked up the spoon and stirred a few times, then gritted her teeth and took a bite. The stimulating flavor suddenly made her face flush!

  "How's that? Miss May, isn't it refreshing and exciting! Life should be like this, trying different things, accepting new things!"

  Chongxin bent down directly in May and spat out what was in his mouth with a "wow"!

  "Hey, Miss May, you're such a waste! Something so nutritious and it's just being wasted like that! Alright, alright, stop staring at me like that, I get it! Looks like the only thing suitable for you is takeout food! Waiter, waiter..."

  But Jerry shouted twice, but no one answered. Just as he was wondering, a loud noise came from outside the curtain, as if something had been smashed to the ground. He lifted the curtain and stuck his head out, just in time to see the woman who had led him in being pushed to the ground by someone. At this moment, a little girl with a backpack on her back happened to come in from the door, and when she saw the woman being pushed to the ground, she went crazy, swinging her backpack and rushing towards the man standing in front of the woman, who was somewhat drunk!

  Unfortunately, the little girl was small and weak, and with one slap, she was thrown onto the woman's body.

  "Namie, Namie, how are you?" Hirai Yoshiko's voice began to crack as she saw the red finger marks on her daughter's face!

  The landlady of the tavern ran out from inside, saw the two people who were making trouble, one male and one female, while helping Hiranuma Yoshiko up, she opened her mouth and shouted, "You two guests, how can you do this! How can you hit someone! Yoshiko, is anything wrong? And what about Naomi, how is Miss Naomi?"

  Hirayama Yoshiko held her daughter and looked at the red handprint on her face, tears of heartache streaming down.

  A man and a woman stood with their hands on their hips, looking somewhat flustered. "This is a rip-off shop! A rip-off shop! For this little food and drink, you're asking me for 20,000 yen?!"

  Yamashita Sonoko, who was hiding behind Hirai Yoshiko, cautiously poked her head out and said, "But you ordered ten dishes and five bottles of beer, which really does come to 20,000 yen..."

  Yamashita Yoko hadn't even finished speaking when the drunk woman pointed at her and shouted, "Nonsense, nonsense! We didn't order that many things. This is a rip-off shop, a real rip-off shop!"

  The two guys made a big fuss for a long time and smashed many bowls and bottles!

  Having no other choice, the boss's wife picked up the phone and called the police!

  Before long, the police really came.

  "What's going on, Mrs. Chi?"

  Xiao Hei Chi Zi is actually the boss of a high-end wine house!

  "Nara, you've come just in time! These two customers drank in our store and didn't pay, and they even accused us of being a black-hearted shop!"

  "What? There's actually something like this! Hey, you two, what's going on? How can you drink without paying?"

  Takashi Narita grasped the baton and pointed at those two drunkards, "Hurry up and pay for your drinks! Are you trying to skip out on the bill? Look here, this is your order receipt. Four hours, you've been eating for four whole hours. Can't you even finish 20,000 yen worth of food?! Hurry up and pay already!"

  Two drunk men saw the police coming and sobered up a bit, and didn't make much noise anymore.

  "Hey! Can you hear me? You two gentlemen, if you don't want to come with me to the police station, it's best you hand over the money quickly!"

  The trouble-making man started rummaging through his pockets, left and right, and after a long time, he finally pulled out three coins, 500 yen each.

  Takaenara slapped the man's head with a loud smack, "You only brought 1500 yen out, are you planning to eat a king's meal here? Is that right? Ah~ is that really right? How ridiculous!"

  Looking at the two pitiful people, Koike suddenly became kind-hearted. "Alright, alright, Nara-kun, don't hit them anymore! 1,500 yen is just 1,500 yen, let them send the rest of the money later!"

  The quarrelsome woman shrieked, "But if we give you all 1,500 yuan, then we won't have any money to take the bus back home!"

  "Alright, alright, then forget about the 1,500 yen too. Bring it together next time you come over!"

  The Japanese are really weird.

  Jerry thought that was the end of the drunken farce, but what followed opened his eyes wide!

  The woman who was causing trouble suddenly walked out from the side, then she grabbed her pants and pulled them down hard, and then squatted down, pfft~

  A long stream of yellow urine shot out!

  Everyone around is going crazy!

  Kogawa Ikuko went crazy, Yamashita Sonoko went crazy, Hirai Yoshie went crazy, even the police went crazy! Takatsu Naruhiko never thought that he, a dignified national law enforcement officer, would be insulted by a mad and drunk woman.

  "What are you doing?!" Takashi Narita suddenly jumped up, and without caring whether the woman had her pants on or not, he dragged her outside. If he didn't lock this woman up for a few days, how could he swallow his anger.

  The drunk man wanted to leave, but was stopped by Takashi Narita. "You clean this place up properly, and if Ms. Ike doesn't like it, you're not allowed to leave! Did you hear me?! What a crazy woman!"

  Kou Shunai Yatou pushed the woman into the police car while shouting and scolding!

  "Nara-kun, I'm really sorry to trouble you!" Takaki Nara's face was still a bit pale, but he waved goodbye with Koguchi as they left.

  Jerry's jaw almost hit the ground, what a, what a fierce Japanese woman! And when he saw clearly the little girl being held in her arms by Hiraiwa Emiko, he was shocked stiff!

  That little girl is Namie Amuro!
