Four p.m.
Takeo Saeki arrived at the cafe where Sadako was.
After getting off work, Sadako walked to Takeo Saeki's car, opened the door and got in.
After entering, Sadako said with an apologetic face.
"Sorry, Gangxiong, I can't leave at noon."
In the morning, Takeo Saeki called Sadako and asked Sadako to get the ghost camera, but business was very good at that time, and Sadako saw that other colleagues were at work, so it would be a bit embarrassing if she asked for leave.
Of course, the more important thing is that Sadako is a bit selfish. If he had brought the camera over earlier, and Takeo Saeki would have stopped by for lunch, he could have taken the camera away.
But if it's afternoon, you can invite Takeo Saeki to go to her house to rest.
Sadako has learned mapo tofu for a few days, and the taste is ready to eat.
Saiki Takeo said nonchalantly.
"It's okay, if you run away during the peak hours of work, you will indeed leave something for your colleagues to talk about."
Anyway, I am not in a hurry, not to mention this afternoon, tomorrow is fine.
Takeo Saeki started the car and drove towards Xingchi Community.
At this time, it was half dark, and some small shops on the street began to light up. The neon lights at the entrance of the shops scattered light, and hit Takeo Saeki's face through a short distance, dyeing the space in the car together with dreamy and blurred colors.
Sadako, who was sitting in the passenger seat, occasionally glanced at the profile of her lover, and then turned to look at the scenery in front of the windshield.
During off-duty hours, the flow of people increases, and vehicles and pedestrians appear and disappear one after another. With the brilliant colors and the singing of external speakers that appear and are submerged, the prosperity of the city and the brilliance of modern technology are all printed in Sadako's eyes.
Sadako, who spent most of her life in the countryside, suddenly had the illusion that she was in a dream, and it was a soft and delicate dream that could be pierced with a finger.
Of course, the dream is not worth being punctured, and even Sadako stretched out her hand and all her emotions to gently wrap the dream.
"Gangxiong?"
"Um?"
Sadako squinted, intoxicated by the dreamlike atmosphere at the moment.
"Will you stay at my house for dinner tonight?"
Takeo Saeki hummed.
Because I have to go to Sadako's house to pick up the camera, and then I have to meet Professor Anjima, it will probably take a lot of time. Before Saeki Tsuyoshi came, he had already called Kayako, saying that he wanted to accompany the client to dinner, so that Kayako didn't have to wait for him.
So it's okay to have a meal here with Sadako.
Sadako chuckled softly.
The dream is getting more and more beautiful.
Takeo Saeki drove to the Xingchi community 20 minutes later, and then to the front of the C22 villa.
The two got out of the car together and entered the house together.
Sadako turned on the lights one by one. The girl first went to the study with Takeo Saeki, took out the camera, went downstairs together, and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
Takeo Saeki sat in the dining room outside the kitchen, playing with the camera in his hand.
When there was no need to use this camera before, Takeo Saeki just glanced at the zero-series soul props and did nothing else.
Now that it's in hand and there is still time, Takeo Saeki will start to really play with the camera.
Feel, weight, and appearance, no matter how you look at it, it is a fairly ordinary and normal camera.
In fact, the only difference between this camera and other cameras is that there is a fragment of the imperial mirror inside.
A strong aroma began to pour out from the kitchen.
Takeo Saeki sniffled, surprised.
The smell wafting from the kitchen is actually quite authentic spicy black bean sauce.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Takeo Saeki noticed that the aroma was similar to the mapo tofu fried with coconut.
The thought was quickly released together.
The reason for the resemblance should be that Sadako used the same brand of fermented soybeans as the mapo tofu fried in Kayako. Takeo Saeki smells a lot of fermented soybeans, and it is very clear if you carefully identify it.
Sadako is pretty good, I don’t know where I got it, but the brand I chose is really good.
After a while, Sadako came up with two dishes and one soup.
The two dishes are mapo tofu and teriyaki chicken thighs. The soup is a light seaweed soup, but clams and other shells are added to it.
"Come on, Gango, rice..."
Sadako put a bowl of rice in front of Takeo Saeki, and brought up a pair of chopsticks.
Takeo Saeki took it, scooped up a spoonful of mapo tofu, and put it in his mouth under Sadako's expectant eyes.
The spicy and delicious taste explodes on the taste buds.
Takeo Saeki's complexion changed slightly. This tofu is Dadi brand tofu, and both tempeh and tofu are his favorites.
How did this little girl, Sadako, choose the materials so well that they all hit her own strike zone?
Takeo Saeki looked up at Sadako.
Sadako's voice trembled a little.
"How about it?"
Takeo Saeki squeezed out a few smiles.
"Yes, it's delicious, but there is still room for improvement."
Sadako scratched her head, embarrassed.
"Well, I'm really not mature enough."
Saeki Takeo asked cautiously.
"How did you make this mapo tofu? Did you read a book or watch TV?"
"I learned it over and over again according to the process of a computer food blogger. My dinner these days is mapo tofu."
Speaking of this, Sadako wanted to talk about the lady with the mask before, but she swallowed the words again.
She didn't know the name of the lady with the mask, since that lady had helped her so much, it would be fine not to give a gift to express her gratitude, but she was too embarrassed to ask her name.
This is a bit disrespectful.
Sadako didn't want Takeo Saeki to know that she was an impolite child, so next time I met that masked lady, I asked for her contact information, asked for her name, and then told Takeo Saeki about the masked lady.
On the opposite side, Takeo Saeki heaved a sigh of relief.
It should be because he was thinking too much. Takeo Saeki heard from Kayako that she met a girl who just graduated, and this girl was trying to cook for her boyfriend.
Now that he eats mapo tofu full of his own strike zone, Saeki Takeo is really afraid that the girl is Sadako.
It doesn't sound like it now.
Indeed, it’s just that the tofu and fermented soybeans used are what I like. When it comes to seasoning and heat, Sadako is still far from Kayako.
If the mapo tofu made by Kayako is exquisite and delicious, Sadako's taste is only okay, and the taste is a bit bitter.
The gap is a bit big, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
On the other hand, the teriyaki chicken legs are good, with a fresh and sweet taste. After the tongue is numb, eating a few pieces of teriyaki chicken legs can suppress the numbness a lot.
Sadako also took a few mouthfuls of rice, and glanced at Takeo Saeki's face from time to time during the meal.
Takeo Saeki, who has been seen a lot, couldn't help asking.
"Is there something on my face?"
Sadako shook her head, and the girl asked shyly.
"Gangxiong, what kind of manga does father like?"
Takeo Saeki: "..."
Sadako's eyes sparkled.
"I, I've been working on the knowledge of the second dimension recently, but it is said on the Internet that there are many types of the second dimension, such as those who like detective comics, those who like light changes, those who like Gundam, and those who like blood. Because there are too many types of comics, many second-gens have different preferences, and some even regard each other as life and death enemies."
Takeo Saeki felt a little embarrassed.
"Sadako, you don't need to learn this."
Sadako shook her head.
"Gangxiong, the harmony of a family lies in respecting everyone, Father..."
Every time Sadako referred to Takeo Saeki's father as his father, his heart would warm.
"...Maybe it's because I have nothing to do after retirement that I become obsessed with the second dimension that can relieve loneliness. For such elderly people who need spiritual entertainment, we should understand and respect them."
Takeo Saeki: "..."
Seeing Takeo Saeki not speaking, Sadako puffed up her chest.
"Gangxiong, I know, you are very busy, and you may be under a lot of pressure at work, so some shameful and despised hobbies of your father will cause you pressure. You must often quarrel with your father and be dragged down by your mother's illness, right?"
"So it's me?"
Sadako put her hands on her chest.
"Gangxiong, you don't have time to do it, and you are too embarrassed to do it. Just leave it to me. I will take care of my father and mother with my heart, so that they don't cause trouble for you, Gangxiong."
Takeo Saeki smiled wryly.
"That was very hard..."
Sadako smiled brightly.
The expectations for future happiness, the love for the man in front of him, and even the feelings he wants to give are so undisguised, it can be said that the true feelings come out of Sadako's mouth.
"No, Sadako, you will be the happiest if you can help Gangxiong."
Takeo Saeki: "..."
This feeling of being hit by a heart attack...
Actually quite happy.

"Well, so what?"
Sadako smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
"What kind of comics does father like to read?"
Takeo Saeki: "..."
Telling a lie requires a hundred lies to make it right. Did it really happen to me?
I really want to add a personality to a fictional character.
Takeo Saeki laughed dryly.
"Just, just those hot-blooded comics, such as "Naruto" and the like."
Sadako clapped her hands on her chest.
"I know, my father should have entered the society since he was a child, and he became a laborer before he enjoyed his youth, so when he got older, he saw those hot-blooded manga mainly featuring young people, and started chasing a life he had never had before."
Takeo Saeki: "..."
Little girl, you really know how to analyze...
Sadako is a little proud.
"I'll buy comics like "Naruto", "One Piece", and "Bleach" later. My father often invites my friends to Gangxiong's house. Maybe I just want to share my feelings and feelings about the plot with my colleagues. Gangxiong, do you understand?"
"It's the feeling that you see something good and you want to talk about it and discuss it with others. This feeling is irrepressible, and I can definitely be the object of this emotion, so that my father won't often invite others to come."
Takeo Saeki said with a complicated heart.
"Sadako, you really know how to use your brain."
