I'm doing abstract animation

Eriri asked in confusion, "Milk... it's alright, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"What about the papaya?"

Eriri immediately understood and blushed deeply: "You bastard, this is sexual harassment!"

She shrank back warily, secretly taking out her phone, ready to call the police on the spot if Yuki made any unusual moves.

“I think you’re overthinking it.” Yuki looked at her with a mocking expression. “If asking you if you eat papaya is sexual harassment, then there’s way too much sexual harassment in this world.”

Yinglili: "......"

That bastard is absolutely right; a verdict cannot be made based on just one sentence.

Huh?

Am I ready to take him to court?

Eriri felt that she might be going a bit too far.

"Kid, I'm just trying to be helpful." Yuuki sighed, then looked at Eriri earnestly, "If you don't work hard when you're young, your children will starve. Just think of it as working hard for your future children, not just for yourself!"

Eriri: "You bastard, is that how you use idioms?!"

She was furious, but she didn't know how to refute him. After all, lies don't hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

"Eiriri?"

At that moment, a mature female voice rang out in front of the two of them.

Yuki looked over and saw a woman who looked at least 80% like Eriri, but with a different hair color, curiously watching the two of them.

"mom!"

Eriri was startled, then hid behind her mother with a wronged expression, turning her head away and refusing to look at Yuuki.

Yuuki Osamu: "..."

You still say you're not a child? You're practically tattling on me!

However, he reacted quickly, immediately looking at the woman with a grin: "You must be this kid's older sister?"

Eriri was taken aback, then looked at Yuuki with a shocked expression. She remembered telling him that she had come with her mother, right?

Sawamura Sayuri was also taken aback, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "No, I'm Eriri's mother. And you, are you her friend?"

"He's not a friend!" Eriri said angrily, hands on her hips. "He's just a random NPC!"

"Eriri!" Sawamura Sayuri scolded, her brow furrowing slightly. "Be polite!"

Yuki Riya nodded in agreement, saying, "It's alright, madam. The child is still young and doesn't understand things yet, that's normal."

Eriri was furious, but when she met her mother's smiling yet murderous gaze, she could only turn her head away and sulk.

"Hey kid, judging from your school uniform, you must be a student from Zongwu High School, right?"

Sayuri looked Yuuki up and down, then her eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "Our Eriri is from Toyonosaki next door!"

After saying that, he winked at Yuuki Risa, his face full of ambiguity.

"Toyonosaki?"

Yuuki Osamu, however, ignored her gaze and stroked his chin thoughtfully, saying, "Is he the one who lost to Soubu High School in the tournament back then?"

Sayuri Sawamura: “…”

This child seems to be focusing on something a bit off-topic. Shouldn't you state your name in a situation like this?

There was also the story of Soubu High School and Toyonosaki fighting in a ring... Did this ever happen?

"Getaro!"

"Yuki!"

Just then, two voices rang out at the door. It was Saeko Busujima and Yumiko Miura. They probably didn't come forward because they saw Osamu Yuki talking to someone else.

"My companion is here, madam, let's talk another time."

Yuuki nodded slightly to Sayuri, then secretly stuck out her tongue and made a face at Eriri before leaving.

Yinglili: "..."

Making faces... This jerk really thinks I'm a primary school student, doesn't he?!

She became even more angry.

Sawamura Sayuri, on the other hand, watched Yuuki Risa's departing figure with a smile. She felt a sense of familiarity with this boy.

It feels like I've seen it somewhere before.

"Eri, if you want to chat with him again in the future, you can go to Soubu High School!" She smiled and patted Eriri's head: "After all, you don't have many friends."

Pfft!

Eriri, who was then stabbed in the back by her mother, immediately lashed out: "Who wants to play with him? I already told you he's just a random NPC, the kind you'll never run into again!"

If I encounter them, I'll stay far away from them!

She thought bitterly to herself.

"Really? You seemed to be having a great time chatting with him. I haven't seen you so angry in a long time."

"...Do you want to hear what you have to say?"

"Haha, don't be like that, Eriri. Just be honest with your mother."

"I've always been very frank!"

The mother and daughter left, laughing and joking.

Who was that just now?

Yumiko Miura watched the mother and daughter walk away and asked with a frown.

"Oh, a mother out shopping with her child." Yuki said casually, "That kid only wants to stay at home. I have to say, the education level in Japan is really not good. When we were kids, we couldn't wait to go out and play... Well, it's not just Japan."

Miura Yuko: "..."

Busujima Saeko: “…”

That sounds a bit odd; it sounds like something an older person would say.

"Alright, alright, you guys are done shopping, right? Where are we going to eat next?" Yuuki stretched. "Let me make this clear, of the three great pleasures of life, I'm very particular about food!"

"Finished shopping?" Yumiko Miura asked curiously. "It's only been half an hour."

Saeko Busujima nodded in agreement: "Yuki-kun, you need to be patient when you're shopping with a girl!"

Yuuki Osamu: "..."

Next time you go shopping with women, cut off my head and use it as a football for fun!

....................................

"Ito, dish number two!"

"Ito, drinks for table number four!"

"Ito, table number five has complained that the food is taking too long to be served. Go and deal with it right away!"

"Ito, six..."

In a barbecue restaurant, a rather handsome young man was so busy he was practically flying.

The dishes for this table had just been served when the next table started urging for more, and the next table after that started complaining. Anyone who has worked as a waiter knows that you can't be impatient in situations like this. Being impatient only makes you feel bad and increases your chances of making mistakes.

It's obvious that Ito doesn't have this kind of awareness. Look at his flushed face, he looks like he's about to explode!

Snapped!

It really exploded. In his haste, he slipped and fell heavily to the ground, carrying the slices of meat.

The burly boss sitting at the front desk immediately exploded.

He stormed forward, his belly bulging, not even bothering to help Ito up. He pointed at Ito's nose and launched into a tirade: "What kind of good-for-nothing are you? If you can't do the job well, then quit! There are plenty of other people who would love to work here..."

Finally, the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded the fat boss to go to the cashier. As the fat boss was being pushed away, he was still spitting at Ito.

"You're just a piece of trash, a piece of garbage..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ito received a severe scolding. His face turned even redder, and after hastily apologizing to the surrounding guests, he hurriedly ran to the restroom to wash up.

"Oh, Ito is a good boy."

An elderly man who frequented this barbecue restaurant couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for his family's situation..."

A new customer asked in bewilderment, "This restaurant seems to be doing quite well, why don't you hire another server?"

He saw reviews online saying that the meat at this barbecue restaurant was of very high quality and the barbecue seasoning was also excellent, so he came to try it out. After trying it, he did find that the meat was indeed of very high quality and the barbecue seasoning was also very good. The only downside was that the business was so good that the food was served slowly, since there was only one server.

That's right, the entire semi-self-service barbecue restaurant only had one server, Ito, which is why he was so busy before.

"What else could it be? To save money!"

The old man glared at the fat boss who was still cursing at the cashier: "That Maeda guy is so stingy. Asking him to pay an extra salary is like asking him to die."

"It's just a pity about Ito..."

Ito rushed to the bathroom and haphazardly washed his face with water. He hadn't hurt himself, but he just wanted to wash his face, unsure whether he wanted to wash away the sweat or the tears.

After washing his face, he stared blankly at himself in the mirror. His face was pale, his cheekbones were sunken, and he looked like he hadn't had a good rest in a long time and was malnourished.

Once upon a time, he was a spirited and ambitious young man, ranking among the top three in Toyonosaki, with a bright future ahead of him.

But everything changed after her mother was diagnosed with cancer.

The exorbitant medical expenses plunged the family, which was originally doing well, into poverty. However, that was not the most important thing. The important thing was that the money was spent, but his mother did not come back. Unable to bear the blow, the father chose to commit suicide, leaving him alone to face the huge loan.

He had considered suicide, but each time he stopped himself because he remembered his mother's dying words.

"Xiao Jian, you must live well, okay? Mom will always be watching over you."

He couldn't cry... He washed his face again.

But no matter how many times he washes, tears will always slip from the corners of his eyes.

Until a wisp of black energy slowly seeped from the floor beneath his feet...

Then the infection spread to his body, and his movements gradually stopped.

"Mom will never let me suffer..."

"Right?"

The bathroom was empty; no one could answer him.

His face was reflected in the mirror; his pale, haggard face was filled with madness, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching upwards until they split open...

P.S.: Hey everyone, please support me!

A bizarre and fantastical city: Chapter Six - Barbecue Restaurant

Although many people sympathized with Ito, they were all big spenders who came to make money, and soon they started urging him to place his order.

The chubby boss glanced at his watch impatiently, but ultimately stormed angrily toward the staff restroom, and this time no one stopped him.

After all, they're here to spend money; sympathy is enough for a while, but we can't go too far.

Soon, Ito emerged from the kitchen with a smile on her face and began serving dishes to the guests.

Although some customers wondered where the chubby boss had gone, they quickly put it out of their minds and began to feast on the grilled meat in front of them.

"good to eat!"

The old man who frequented the place had just taken a bite of meat when an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

What's going on? I'm a regular customer here. Although the barbecue here is indeed good, it can never reach this taste.

What kind of taste is this? Just one bite and all your worries seem to vanish, leaving only two words in your mind: delicious!

"Really delicious!"

"Holy crap, another one, boss!"

"Me too, another one please!"

…………

Almost all the customers ordered another serving, and everyone's face was filled with happiness and... a deep greed.
