Chapter 561: The Shop



However, he looked so convincing that any would mistake him for telling the truth. It wasn't just that he seemed convincing but he also sounded convincing.

Ishikawa couldn't notice anything different. So, she believed what he said without thinking much about the matter.

"Also, I wanted to enjoy the delicious food he brought in peace," Hiro added.

"Indeed, the food here is quite delicious. Also, it's rather peaceful here."

"I couldn't agree more." Hiro nodded before continuing to slurp the noodles before him. The slurping sound was muffled by the sound of the television reverberating in the shop.

"But why is it so vacant? I mean, with such good-tasting food and ambiance, shouldn't it get a ton of customers? But there are so few people here," Hiro had been feeling curious about it for a while. So, now that they were talking about the shop, he couldn't help but bring in the matter.

Around many places, people would visit the business just based on its attraction and appeal. So, it was rather strange to find such a good place to get so few customers.

Though he was concerned about the lack of customers, Hiro wasn't bringing up this matter because he wanted to be surrounded by people. Rather he enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the shop due to the lack of customers.

But for a business to flourish, it needs to attract customers.

At the same time, if a business doesn't receive customers, it's bound to get ruined.

A momentary hesitation flashed in her eyes as she heard Hiro. Then she said with a soft sigh, "It's because of some hooligans."

"Huh, hooligans?" Hiro repeated.

"Yeah, some people keep disrupting the business. They come in a group and threaten Grandpa. Sometimes they even injure him or break the furniture." Ishikawa said, her tone indignant.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Probably due to such repeated disruptions, the customers got too scared to visit and it negatively impacted the restaurant.' Hiro deduced.

Just then while Ishikawa was hesitating to answer another voice chimed in. Following the voice, Hiro found a rather fair-looking girl with jet-black hair and hazel eyes standing before him.

With a thin frame and innocent-looking face, she glared at Hiro with her fiery eyes.

Although she appeared gorgeous, at the moment, one could clearly see that she wasn't in a good mood.

However, when Sumire turned to greet her, the look on her face completely changed, "You're here, Yuki."

"Yeah, Grandpa told me that you have come," she responded in a cheerful tone, displaying an amicable smile on her face.

"Yuki, let me introduce you to my friend over here," Ishikawa said amicably.

"I know, he's Takahashi Hiro. The one who you and others talk about a lot," Yuki cut her short as she revealed Hiro's identity casually.

Although Hiro had lifted down the mask, he had his face covered enough. Yet to be able to recognize him so easily was an incredible feat.

Hiro's eyes opened wide in marvel as he listened.

Even Ishikawa revealed a look of surprise as she found it baffling. Her observation ability couldn't be taken lightly.

"How did you know it was him?" Ishikawa asked in surprise.

"You wouldn't be here with other guys alone. Also, the broken arm and his physique," she answered nonchalantly.

It wasn't just her observation skill but her ability to deduce and analyze was also incredibly sharp. The more Hiro heard her, the more he was amazed by her.

To be able to deduce accurately with only a few simple cues, Hiro could tell that this pale- looking girl before him possessed some extraordinary talents.

Marveled by her, Hiro slowly lifted the black baseball cap he wore and revealed his face, "As you said, I'm Takahashi Hiro. It's a pleasure to meet you." Hiro greeted her politely with a

smile.
