Chapter 361: Relics in the Cracks

Yoshiyuki: "Ah, that's right..."

Yoshiyuki: "...by the way, you don't have any savings at all?"

Asakura: "No!"

Asakura: "After all, surviving without food money is also a kind of practice!"

Yoshiyuki: "I'm just looking for friends to have a meal with. What kind of spiritual practice is this?"

Since there are nine people, after the packet of peanuts is divided, no one will have a few peanuts left.

While eating, Kodera noticed that Asakura's behavior was different from everyone else's, so he asked in surprise.

"Uh, Asakura... didn't you rub off that layer of peanut skin?"

Asakura: "Because we think that enduring hardship is also a part of spiritual practice!"

Yoshiyuki: "Hey, that's not it!" Is it necessary to practice in a place like this?

Asakura: "Of course it makes sense - hehehe, I'm just kidding! I actually think this layer of skin has its own charm."

Bei Dao: "You mean you think it's delicious, right? Just like the bitter fish intestines of saury..."

Nishida: "As expected of Sayo-chan! This metaphor is very good."

Nishida: "But when it comes to saury, most people don't remove the intestines... This is different from peanuts. Most people rub off the red coating."

Asakura: "Yeah! We think this peanut clothing tastes good too."

Erina: "Oh! I understand when you say that. Let Asakura help peel the peanuts from now on! Just let her eat the skin and we will eat the meat."

Yoshiyuki: "Miss, why do you think it's the same as chicken skin... In most cases, the chicken skin is the essence!"

Asakura: "Oh... I can't eat the broken peanut clothes."

Asakura: "No, no, it should be said that eating peanut clothing alone is not interesting in the first place! You must eat peanut meat and skin together to realize its beauty!"

Asakura: "Just like the yolk and egg white don't taste good once they are separated! They have to be combined~"

Kodera: "I can quite understand this. Pan-fried dumplings don't taste very good just with the filling..."

Yoshiyuki: "The same goes for burgers. After taking it apart and eating each ingredient separately, it will become boring immediately."

Yoshiyuki: "But it will look very high-end at first glance."

Yoshiyuki: "It's funny. Some people think hamburgers are junk food, but if the patties, buns, vegetables, etc. are placed separately, they think it's very healthy."

Yoshiyuki: "So in the eyes of these people, whether food is healthy or not actually depends on how it looks."

Erina: "Then Kodera and Asakura must be healthy foods!"

Erina: "Okonomiyaki dipped in Kanto-style meat sauce...! It will definitely be a hit!"

Kodera: "How scary!"

Asakura: "What? It's not fair at all! I only have such a small amount, but I am the main dish?"

Erina: "What should I do? Isn't it very unauthentic for Okonomiyaki to be made by Tokyoites?"

Kodera: "It would be weird even if it was made by Osaka people!"

Kodera: "Shouldn't we use squid?"

Erina: "Hmm... squid..."

Bei Dao: "Huh? Why are you looking at me suddenly?"

Erina: "I just feel that if any of us is seafood, it must be you!"

Nishida: "Oh... the cooked Saye-chan! Looks very cute too!"

Bei Dao: "Ehhhhh?!"

This terrible subject was soon over.

Because Yingxue Qianai mentioned such a thing with a smile.

Qian Ai: "Well, I heard my mother say it. Peanut skin seems to be able to cure something. Anyway, it is very nutritious!"

Qian Ai: “It’s just like the germ inside corn kernels. It’s recommended not to miss it when eating!”

Nishida: "But the germ itself is very sweet. The peanut skin is very bitter. It's not the same thing at all, right?"

Nishida: "When eating corn, always remember to eat all the germs."

Qian Ai: "Yeah, that's right. I should use a better metaphor."

Qian Ai: "For example...ah, yes! Oranges!"

Erina: "...?"

Erina: "Do oranges also have germs and skins?"

Yoshiyuki: "Ah no, of course it has skin!"

Yoshiyuki: "Although I've been peeling oranges for you, you don't remember what this thing looks like!"

Erina: "Idiot! The leather I'm talking about is similar to peanut clothing."

Erina: "Am I still asking you whether Tangerine is wearing clothes? Don't you think it sounds weird?"

Yoshiyuki: "Instead of saying it's strange, it's better to say that it will be treated as skin!"

While they were having this discussion, Yoshiyuki heard a message from line.

It was sent by Chairman Shimizu.

She said she had something important to talk to him and Erina.

Tell them to go to the office to find her as soon as possible if they don't come home.

It seems like a big deal if you have to have an interview.

Otherwise, she would explain it directly on the line or on the phone.

Realizing that this matter was of great importance, Yoshiyuki and Erina temporarily left the event and immediately went to the chairman's office.

From Qingshui Tamako, the two learned something that surprised them.

The great earthquake in Hokkaido a few days ago not only caused a large number of casualties.

There are other hidden stories behind it.

The earthquake destroyed a mountain, tearing open huge cracks and exposing an ancient ruin hidden inside.

It can be seen from the few ruins that can be directly witnessed with the naked eye from the outside that this is an ancient city. But for some reason, it was originally buried deep in the mountain.

I originally thought it was just an ordinary archaeological discovery, but now the top priority is rescue, so I only sent a small team to check out the situation.

As soon as the team entered the ruins, they disconnected communications and never came back.

Later, a second team carrying weapons also disappeared.

The scientific expedition team realized that something was wrong, so they sent a robot to explore the path, but as soon as it entered the ruins, it lost its signal.

Under this circumstance, they paid more attention to the ruins and sent out a third team with psychics among them, trying to find out why the first two teams were missing.

In this team, only the psychic is back.

However, the video equipment he carried with him had malfunctioned, and the images captured were all covered in snowflakes, making it impossible to repair the image.

He was also mentally disturbed and could not answer normally no matter what he was asked. He would just keep repeating words like this: "The underworld! The underworld...that place has been polluted by the underworld!"

Today, the scientific expedition team no longer dares to enter, and the police have also blocked the entrance, prohibiting outsiders from approaching the ruins.

They didn't know what was going on inside, but they were basically sure that the ancient city was seriously polluted by Huangquan.

Among the members they could think of who might assist the police, the only people who could guarantee that they would not be contaminated by the underworld were the underworld miko and Maekawa Yoshiyuki.

So hopefully they go in and investigate and find out what's going on.
