After eating the stew made by Bai Gui, Qingye turned on the TV he bought online and watched a soap opera.

Until the sky began to darken and I felt that there was nothing to do, Qingye began today's practice.

Holding the socket in hand to absorb current, coupled with the help of the elixir prepared in the previous life in Qiankun bag, Qingye's skills are improving rapidly.

After today's practice, it was almost midnight, but Qingye still didn't want to sleep. This time is a bit too late for modern people who are used to night activities.

So after a while, Aoye simply opened the window and flipped out the apartment through the window.

"Xiaobai, I'll go to Onotei for a drink, you can rest first." In the small yard of the apartment, Aoye turned around and said to Xiaobai in the room.

Although Xiaobai, who is a ghost, doesn't have to rest, Qingye still said so.

"Master, go slowly." The white ghost said goodbye to Qingye.

So Aoye nodded, closed the window and left the apartment.

Walking late at night in Tokyo, sparse pedestrians hurried past the street lights. Aoba came to the alley where Onotei was, opened the familiar sliding door, and then heard the boss's more familiar "welcome" sound.

"Uncle Oi, good evening." Aoye greeted Saburo Oi, the owner of the bathhouse where he was sitting there drinking plum wine as usual.

"Brother, good evening! I haven't seen you come here for many days!" Oi Saburo greeted Aoye and said curiously.

"Yes, I haven't been here for a few days." Aoba said as she sat down at the counter and said to the shop manager Ono, "Boss, I suddenly want to eat fish today! Is there a fish dish?"

"Is there any salmon possible?" replied the manager Ono.

"Okay, let's have salmon!" Aoye agreed, and then said, "In addition, I want beer."

"Okay, salmon and beer." Manager Ono repeated what Aoba wanted and went to prepare.

"Brother, why don't you drink plum wine today?" Oi Saburo said in confusion.

"People always want to change their tastes occasionally, don't they?" Qingye smiled.

Saburo Oi nodded without saying a word, but drank another glass of plum wine on his own.

Soon, the store manager Ono brought the beer and salmon that Aoba asked for.

Qingye drank a sip of beer and salmon, and he started drinking happily.

Manager Ono, who had no job at this time, sat down at the counter, opened a bottle of beer for himself, and started drinking it.

"Boss!" Aoye raised his glass to the shopkeeper Ono for a moment, so the shopkeeper Ono also raised his glass, and the two looked at each other and started drinking beer together.

"Boss, Onotei is open until three in the morning every day. Wouldn't it be very hard?" Aoya asked.

"It was really hard to get back in the day and night at the beginning, but I gradually got used to it." Manager Ono, who was about forty, was drinking beer and enjoying this leisure time.

"From 8 pm, open until 3 AM, it seems that the boss is aiming at the hour of midnight snack!" Qingye said with a smile.

"Yes! I worked hard for a day and could come here for a drink after get off work. Isn't it great? At first, I just chose to open the business at this time just to make more money during this period. But later I gradually realized that looking at the guests who have worked hard for a day, it is really a very fulfilling thing to completely relax here! So I insisted on Onotei." The manager Ono said with a smile.

"Boss, cheers to Onotei." Aoye smiled and raised the beer glass in his hand.

"I'm the only one, I'll give you a toast to Onotei!" Oi Saburo also raised the plum wine in his hand and said.

"Ah, thank you." Manager Ono also raised his glass and said.

Just as Aoba started drinking the second bottle of beer, and when the manager Ono started reading the newspaper, a sound of pulling the door came and a customer came.

"Welcome." Manager Ono put down the newspaper and greeted immediately.

Qingye also turned around and found that two young white-collar girls with a slightly alcoholic smell came in.

"Boss, I heard there is delicious pork soup here?" asked one of the long-haired white-collar girls.

"Some." The shop manager Ono replied.

"Then I want a bowl of pork soup and a small bowl of rice." said the long-haired white-collar girl.

"I also want a bowl of pork soup and a small bowl of rice." Another white-collar girl with short hair said the same.

After saying that, the two looked at each other and sat down at the counter holding hands.

"Okay, pork soup and a small bowl of rice." The manager of Ono repeated the meal ordered by the customer as usual, and then went to prepare.

"Lixiang, have you heard of the murderer who has appeared recently?" said the white-collar girl with long hair.

"I heard that, I heard that, it is said that he is a very cruel serial murderer!" The short-haired white-collar girl named Rika replied.

"Yes! The rumors are flying all over the sky now, but the Metropolitan Police Department has no clues to solve the case!" The long-haired white-collar girl sighed.

"Hami, you said we wouldn't meet that murderer when we were home so late, right?" said the white-collar girl with short hair with a scared expression.

"Probably not!" The girl with long hair became a little uneasy.

"Since you're scared, why don't you go back early? It's always unsafe for girls to walk alone at night." Saburo Oi suddenly interrupted.

The two girls glanced at Saburo Oi, and finally answered by the seemingly bolder girl with long hair.

"Uncle, there are always many things that cannot be controlled when working in society! Especially for female employees like us, our seniors ask us to drink together, but they can't refuse!" the long-haired girl replied.

"So that's the case! It's not easy for you guys!" Oi Saburo sighed and said.

"But this is also an experience that allows us to grow up as soon as possible and be able to stand alone." Perhaps it was because Saburo Oi was easy to speak, and the girl with short hair also had the courage to interrupt.

"But, learning to refuse is also a kind of growth!" Qingye also joined the chat and said with a smile.

"But we are not qualified to refuse now!" the girl with long hair said with a wry smile.

"Qualification requires oneself to fight for this thing, and waiting for others to give alms will never be able to wait for it." Aoye said while pouring wine for herself.

Just as the two girls were thinking about what Aoba said, the sliding door was opened again, and with the sound of the shop manager Ono "welcome", another guest walked in.

Aoba turned around and found that the young man who came in was the young man who recommended plum wine to him with Saburo Oi when he first came to Onotei.

Later, Aoba also met the young man once or twice at Onotei, and still remembered that his name was Masato Kobayashi.
