“What a wicked capitalist…” Akari muttered something under her breath.
“What did you say?” Miri didn’t hear clearly what Akari was mumbling, so she specifically asked again.
“It’s nothing.
I said Miss Miri is certainly wealthy…” Akari forced a smile, showing no abnormality on her face.
“Let’s go.
Weren’t you the one who wanted to bring me here for a look around?
What’s so special about Sixth Street that makes you praise it like this?” “I’d like to see for myself what’s so special about this place.” Miri’s high heels clicked against the ground as she walked into the alley.
Walking into Sixth Street, the street was extremely clean, with various shops doing business on both sides.
It had all the basic industries needed by citizens, ranging from convenience stores down to game arcades, making it basically self-sufficient.
“Putting everything else aside, this street’s industries are indeed quite well-developed.” Miri provided another commentary on the place.
“Right, I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but I always feel like the shop owners around here aren’t quite simple…” Perhaps out of intuition, perhaps out of a sixth sense, Miri always felt that these shop owners were not simple, at least not just running a small shop on the surface.
“It’s probably just your imagination.
I’ve lived here for so long and never heard of anything special about this street.” Akari laughed it off and didn’t delve further into the matter.
“You probably didn’t get enough to eat earlier, right?
Let’s go, let’s head to Jinli Noodle Shop for a bowl of ramen.
This time it’s my treat, and I guarantee you’ll be full.” As she spoke, Akari grabbed Miri’s hand, pulling the mature woman toward the Jinli Noodle Shop.
Miri had a strange feeling.
For some reason, she didn’t feel any sense of rejection, instead letting Akari hold her hand until they reached the front of that noodle shop.
“Two guests, what would you like to eat?” A red-headed puppet suddenly spoke, raising a warm smile at the same time.
“Master Chop, please give me a bowl of green pepper and pork ramen.
As for this young lady, see what she needs.” “Let me see…” Miri picked up the menu, browsed it for a long time, and finally chose a bowl of golden soup fatty beef ramen.
“Give me a serving of golden soup fatty beef ramen, with less spice, thank you.” After the two finished ordering, Master Chop began pulling the noodles, then prepared the toppings and condiments, poured the freshly pulled noodles into the pot, and began cooking them.
“Two guests, please wait a moment!
Fresh and delicious ramen will be ready right away!” Master Chop loudly greeted the guests while tossing the noodles into bowls, starting to make delicious ramen for the two of them.
Miri didn’t object.
After all, the steaks at the Western restaurant were really too small; even two steaks wouldn’t fill up two girls.
Now that they could have an extra meal, Miri naturally thought it couldn’t be better.
Furthermore, she wouldn’t have to pay for these two bowls of ramen herself; someone else would foot the bill.
Since it was her first time eating ramen here, tasting it would also be a good choice.
As the golden soup fatty beef ramen was placed in front of her, the aroma of the fatty beef combined with the spicy flavor of pickled peppers made Miri feel somewhat tempted.
Liking delicious food was an instinct deep in everyone’s heart.
As the most primitive human desire, appetite’s influence on humans was simply deeply rooted.
Especially when she wasn’t full and her stomach was half-full and half-hungry, this feeling was particularly strong.
Miri took a bite; the aroma of the fatty beef made one’s mouth water.
Master Chop’s noodle-making skills were indeed very good—just taking a casual chopstickful, the chewiness and flavor of the noodles burst forth in her mouth.
“Jeez, how come nobody told me there’s such an amazing ramen-making master in Sixth Street…” Seeing that Master Chop’s ramen-making skills were so good, Miri’s heart stirred, and she smiled as she spoke to Master Chop: “Master, your skills are so good, haven’t you considered becoming some kind of professional chef or something?” Master Chop, who was busy working, just smiled helplessly upon hearing this, and then put down the work in his hands.
“I’m getting old, and there’s really too much business in the shop.
If you ask me to go be a chef or anything else, I simply wouldn’t be able to handle it all.” “In my opinion, guarding this little shop of mine and making some ramen for the guests every day is enough.” Hearing this, Miri sensibly said no more.
She knew very well in her heart that Master Chop’s words were basically a disguised refusal of the plan to become a chef.
That being the case, why should she ask for a snub?
Meanwhile, Akari picked up the noodle bowl and ate the ramen in large bites, not forgetting to chew a few bites of beef when she got tired of the noodles.
Master Chop’s toppings were well-made, and Akari finished a bowl of ramen in just a few mouthfuls.
Counting the steak from earlier, Akari finally felt almost full.
As a Proxy doing this kind of physical labor, the nutrition needed to be replenished was naturally more than that of ordinary people.
Seeing Akari’s eating manners, Miri was somewhat surprised, but didn’t think too much of it.
After settling the bill, Akari led Miri to prepare to head to other places.
“Where are you planning to take me?
This street is only so big; could it be that you have other fun places we can go to?” Miri boredly fiddled with her phone, scrolling through videos while letting Akari pull her hand as they walked forward.
This scene looked just like an adult taking care of a kid being pulled along by the child, while the adult taking care of the kid was still playing on their phone.
“We’re here!
I want to take you to check out Random Play Video Store.
This is a famous place in Sixth Street; coming here to watch videotapes is also a great choice.” Akari pushed open the door of the video store and leisurely strode inside.
“Eh, are there new guests?
Welcome~” In front of the counter, an adorable blue-haired girl was playing a handheld console.
Seeing guests visit, the girl hastily put away the console while smiling at the guests who had just entered the store.
Akari could see that the game on the handheld console was still running, and even the screen hadn’t turned off.
“Are there any good videotapes here?
It’s my first time coming here, and I only came in after seeing the sign at the door.” Although Akari probably knew this place even better than the Proxy siblings themselves.
But as a newly arrived customer, Akari didn’t show any flaws, instead looking at Belle with great curiosity.
Fairly speaking, the blue-haired girl in front of her was indeed very cute, no wonder she was called the Succubus of Sixth Street.
And the girl before them was naturally one of the world’s featured characters, Belle.
“Well, that depends on what kind of videotapes you need.
We recommend different videotapes based on each guest’s different needs.
If you have some special viewing requirements, our shop can also satisfy them.” As she spoke, Belle playfully winked at the two of them.
Seeing this adorable scene, Akari had an impulse to buy all the videotapes in the shop and watch them here to her heart’s content until Random Play Video Store closed.
