Shiroda Youji's careless expression made Commander Yuansan's heart twitch.
His reputation of being successful didn't seem to work. She was a good girl!
Commander Yuansan calmed his dissatisfaction and didn't say anything else.
"Come on, now that everyone is here, let's go eat."
The place they chose was a Hokkaido restaurant in Shinjuku. In fact, the taste wasn't much different from the one in Tokyo.
Perhaps the most Hokkaido flavor was the "Fishing Net Minor Tune" playing in the restaurant. The magical melody was far different from the traditional folk songs of the Island nation, but it was said that the "Fishing Net Minor Tune" originated from the mainland.
"Please wait a moment."
They ordered some simple dishes. Tonight's theme wasn't to eat. Anyway, a group of eating men and women wouldn't gather for the sake of good food.
"I'm also a little troublesome. Brother Yuansan, can you tell us the story of your struggle in Tokyo?"
The waiter just served the drinks, and a girl looked at Commander Yuansan with affection.
Not only this girl, but Yasuko also did the same. "Working in a big company like Mitsubishi must be very hard."
Prince Charming!
If it wasn't for the social gathering, or the fact that they were all from the southern part of Hokkaido, these eight young people with vastly different backgrounds wouldn't have gathered together.
No one wanted to give up this good opportunity. The women who came to the social gathering, except for Shiroda Youji, were all here for marriage.
Their purpose and motive were very 'simple'. While they were still young … Forget it, they were already over twenty years old. It could only be said that they were still young. They wanted to find a reliable man and stay in the big city, stay in Tokyo.
The conditions in the big city were good and prosperous. Whether it was a boy or a girl, if they relied on themselves, they would most likely end up in poverty. But girls could still get married, or in other words, they thought they could get the prosperity of the big city through marriage.
The chances weren't high, but what if they succeeded?
Who was willing to live a peaceful life? Why could others go to Hakone to soak in the hot spring, but they had to pitifully imagine soaking in the hot spring in the bathtub?
Compared to Tokyo, the probability of living a comfortable life through marriage in their hometown was even smaller.
It would be better to go to a short-term college in a big city, work part-time, and do hourly work to get by. Maybe one day, she would get lucky and marry a man who was doing well.
There was nothing to criticize. Men stayed away from the cruel competition and returned to their hometown to live a small life. Women stayed in the big city to try their luck.
At the end of the day, everyone felt that this was a choice that would make them feel comfortable.
Men were unwilling to help ugly women, and women were naturally unwilling to help the poor precisely.
General Yuanshan was this kind of man, following him would definitely lead a comfortable life.
Though the other men might probably be able to rent a place in Tokyo, such a future would be very painful. The age of their affection and contentment had long since passed.
"Yeah, it's been tough. It's alright."
However, the unrequited love was unrequited. While Admiral Yuanshan dealt with the girls' conversation, his attention was completely focused on Shirata Yuki.
Not only him, but the other two boys also did the same. The only boy who didn't pay attention to Shiroda Yuki wasn't because he wasn't interested, but because he knew where he stood.
Men looked for the low, and women looked for the high. This phenomenon was even more obvious in the Island nation. The higher the position of a woman, the more serious the problem of marriage.
Shirata Yuki's graduation from Tokyo University instantly eliminated 99% of the men.
"Miss Shirata, which department are you from?
Ah, if I had been a little more careful back then, we would have been schoolmates. "
"Oh, oh, schoolmates. That's good." Shiroda Yuki ate a mouthful of fish roe.
This gathering was a Dutch system. No matter how much you ate, you had to pay one-eighth of the cost of the meal.
Since you guys don't eat!
Then I, Shirata Yuki, will definitely take advantage of you!
In any case, social gatherings and marriage were completely out of her consideration. She, Shirata Yuki, was just a child who was less than 10,000 days old.
"So you like to eat fish roe?
I know a good high-end shop that sells the freshest fish roe by air. It's located in the port area. I wonder if you're interested? "
A social gathering? Everyone here had the same idea. If there was a need for contact information, then there was no need to worry.
Seeing how Tokuyama Shogun was fawning over Shirata Yuki, the other two girls were so angry that their teeth itched.
It was supposed to be a social gathering. Why was Tokuyama Shogun only interested in Shirata Yuki and completely ignoring the other girls? Was this still a social gathering?
If they knew this was going to happen, they wouldn't have let Shirata Yuki come over. This was too unfair to them!
Tokuyama Shogun was also a guy who only cared about appearances!
The music player handed some food to an angry girl. "This tastes pretty good. It's a special fish from our Tsugaru Strait."
"I'm not eating. You eat!" The girl said angrily.
That Tokuyama Shogun ignored them. How could there be such a guy!
No manners.
Even if he didn't like it, he should at least be polite. Rude Tokuyama Shogun.
"Then, do you want to try this …"
"I said I'm not eating!
Eat it yourself. "
The girl glared at the music player and continued to look at Shirata Yuki angrily.
She stabbed the fish on the plate with her fork and imagined that this was Shirata Yuki!
Yako looked at Shirata Yuki and sighed. Tsk, he was asking for trouble. She didn't need to worry about Shirata Yuki.
Aunt Shirata too. She shouldn't look at the big city with the eyes of a small place.
"Which unit in Tokyo are you working at?"
Tokuyama Shogun moved closer to Shirata Yuki. "Maybe we'll cross paths at work."
"Ah." Shirata Yuki smacked his lips. "Police system."
"Is it a civilian position?"
Tokuyama Shogun acted as if he understood. "Like a graduate from a prestigious university. The moment he starts working, he'll be a police officer. Yeah, that's not bad."
"But I'm afraid it's not easy for females to get promoted in the Metropolitan Police system."
"Yeah." I'm not the Metropolitan Police anyway. You can say whatever you want.
With Tokuyama Shogun and Shirata Yuki at the gathering, the others felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.
But the reality was so helpless. When it was clear that they couldn't fight back in front of Shirata Yuki, the other girls could only reluctantly look for other guys.
Reluctantly, after looking at the gold and silver Buddha statues, he looked at the clay idols and felt that something was missing.
Shirata Yuki finished half of the dishes on the table. Although they were going dutch when it came time to pay, Tokuyama Shogun fought to pay for Shirata Yuki.
Shirata Yuki wasn't interested in a blind date. She wasn't stupid. How could she let Tokuyama Shogun pay for her?
Even in the Stone Age, there were banquets. How could a modern man not know how to show off his elegance and strength by paying?
"It's still early!
Let's go sing! "
Ten o 'clock at night was indeed early in Shibuya, but Shirata Yuki had to work tomorrow. Plus, she wasn't interested in singing!
Just when Shirata Yuki was about to refuse, a scream came from the streets of Shibuya.
