She didn't know whether to sympathize with Loki, who was unlucky because of Coubé, or sympathize with Loki, who was even more unlucky because of Coubé.
Issou felt that …
If she had that international time, she might as well sympathize with herself first.
Because! Because!
Her mother had only stayed in "My Chinese Restaurant" for less than an afternoon! There were people who didn't even touch her! Regardless of gender! People ran up to her (those who didn't run up to her didn't count) and revealed that they wanted to be her stepfather/stepmother!
That's right!
Regardless of gender!
She was a stepfather/stepmother!
Issou: "…"
Although this wasn't the first time this kind of thing had happened (it could be traced back to when she was in kindergarten),
But! Yes!
Her mother had inspired their impulse to fall in love with her,
Why did they impulsively run up to her to show her their fatherly/motherly love???
"Oh my god,
Did you guys get the order wrong? "
Looking at the people in front of her, Issou felt a headache coming on. She said, "If you want to be my stepfather/stepmother, shouldn't you first woo my mother and win my mother's favor (if it weren't for the fact that you're afraid of exposing your silly and sweet nature, there would have been a process of clapping for love or repeatedly clapping for love),
Should I wait until you guys want to develop further before it's my turn to appear? "
But what was the order now?
They had their eyes on her mother,
Then they turned around and came over to her to brush up on her favorability.
Issou: "…???"
Excuse
me？
Were they serious?
"And you..,
Thompson. "
Issou specifically criticized him. She said, "Don't think that I don't know that you want to sneak into the kitchen and steal food in the name of liking my mother! If you don't have a seat, then line up properly! If you try to trick me again, do you believe that I'll blacklist you in 'My Chinese Restaurant'? "
"No —!!!"
Hearing Izu's criticism, Thompson hurriedly cleared his name and said, "I'm sorry.
"I swear,
I really like Coubé! "
Thompson was Peter's classmate.
Not taking age into account, just seniority.
Coubé was his elder.
However, he couldn't resist the young and beautiful Coubé, who looked to be in her mid-twenties.
Therefore, even the diners in "My Chinese Restaurant" knew that Coubé was Issou's mother.
But it was undeniable.
She was also a woman with max charm.
Even if she didn't speak,
Just a smile from him was enough to make a person's heart begin to stir.
Even though Issou and Coubé looked similar, probably because of their temperaments, everyone's first reaction to them was not the same.
One of them was afraid that he would lead the child astray even if he said something inappropriate to her, even though Izu was a sweet and naive child. The other one couldn't wait to discuss and practice with her 365 days a year how many positions could be unlocked by humans, even though Kube was not a human by nature.
To put it simply, most of the opposite sex (and some of the same sex) wanted to clap for love when they saw Kube, but most of the opposite sex wanted to clap for love when they saw Izu, but they only clapped for love when they saw her.
Therefore, Issou was not surprised that Coubé's appearance in "My Chinese Restaurant" caused a wave of diners wanting to be my stepfather/stepmother. After all, her mother had always been a Mary Sue. She was only surprised that those who wanted to be her stepfather/stepmother would do such a thing.
Issou: "…"
She would rather disconnect.
When Issou heard Thompson's words, he hit the nail on the head, "But it's also true that you were secretly eating!"
"I didn't do it on purpose."
Thompson's heart was indeed shot by Cupid as soon as he saw Coubé. He ran to Issou because he wanted to make a good impression on Issou and ask him about Coubé.
As for why he ran to the kitchen to make a good impression on Issou and ask about Coubé, he ended up sneaking into the kitchen to eat …
"It's mainly because Issou's food is really, really, really delicious!"
Therefore, Thompson could not control himself at all and reached out his evil hand towards the delicious Chinese food.
"Oh, in your eyes, my mother can't even compare to a mouthful of food?!"
Thompson's answer did not make Issou happy. The black-haired girl, who was protective of her mother, said, "Then give up, I will never help you court my mother!"
What?
You're asking Issou if he has double standards? How could he allow Coubé to forget about saving the world for a mouthful of food yesterday, but not allow Thompson to forget his original intention of entering the kitchen for a mouthful of food today?
…
…
…
I have double standards.
Issou, who did not feel that there was anything wrong with this at all, puffed up his chest. Who asked her to only be protective of her mother and not her soup?
So, wasn't it natural that "I can forgive my mother for giving up on saving the world for a mouthful of food, but I can't forgive you for giving up on my mother for a mouthful of food"?
Back to the topic, Issou sent away a wave of people who were clearly interested in Coubé but still came to make a good impression on her. Just as she was about to look for her mother to say something to her …
She saw Wolverine, who had come to "my Chinese restaurant" at some point, and Logan had gotten together with her mother, Coubé. And before she knew it, the man and woman who had just met for the first time had already started hitting it out.
Issou: "…???"
She was just sending away a wave of crazy bees and butterflies that her mother had attracted.
Why did it feel like she had missed two hundred episodes of the plot???
If Coubé knew what her precious daughter was thinking, she would definitely tell her —
You're thinking too much, good girl.
We're still in the first episode, okay?
Although the first episode between Coubé and Logan …
Yeah.
It was different from the first episode between Issou and others.
But this was not important, what was important was —
Because Coubé and Logan liked each other, plus this was "my Chinese restaurant", and Logan didn't look like someone to mess with at all, even Issou got a moment of silence.
But even so, when Moriarty and Shylock sneaked into the kitchen, Issou's first reaction was —
"You want to be my stepfather too?"
When Shylock heard Issou's words, he raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Too?"
Moriarty couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Stepfather?"
These two highly intelligent people who had just come to "my Chinese restaurant" did not know what Issou had experienced before they came, but from her reaction, they could already guess a thing or two.
But …
"Dear, if you have a child, I'd rather be the stepfather of your child than your stepfather."
Moriarty smiled at Issou, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be tainted with a hint of joy because of this smile. He said, "If you're willing to give me this opportunity."
Hearing Moriarty's words, Issou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. From Shylock's reaction just now, she knew that she guessed wrong, but even so, she didn't expect Moriarty to say this.
The black-haired girl smiled and said, "Jim, why are you assuming that I have a child? Why don't you just change the stepfather to the father? "
"Issou, so is this an official invitation to me? For example, letting me audition for the role of the father of your future child? "
Moriarty's brown eyes now seemed to be covered with a layer of light. They were sparkling, and the smile on his lips made him look like a child.
He said, "I swear, as long as you give me this opportunity, I promise to maintain the image of a good father and not collapse for a hundred years."
As he spoke, Moriarty winked at Issou and added, "The point is, I'm cheap."
"Pfft!"
If Issou could hold back her laughter at the beginning of Moriarty's words, the last sentence made her burst out laughing. She laughed and looked at Moriarty, who was trying hard to promote himself. After she had laughed enough, she played along with him.
She put on a very cold expression and said to Moriarty, "Sorry, I won't allow the father of my future child to be a cheap man."
However, probably because she laughed too hard just now, the expression on Issou's face was not cold at all. In fact, it was a little funny because she was forcing herself to be cold.
However, the very dedicated Moriarty pretended not to see it. Or rather, his acting skills were so good that he could calmly take over the role from his opponent who was not good at acting at all.
The expression on his face became sad and incredulous because of Issou's words. "Oh my god, so my original sin is because I'm too cheap?"
Shylock was speechless.
Or maybe it was because he was too stupid.
Shylock, who was watching from the side, could not help but mutter in his heart. He could now understand how Mcauliffe felt when facing him, just like how he was facing Moriarty and Issou, the two idiots.
But the difference was —
Back then, when Mcauliffe faced little Shylock, who he thought was stupid, he could bluntly say, "Oh my god, my brother is stupid."
But now, when Shylock faced Issou and Moriarty, who he thought were too stupid, not only could he not bluntly say, "Oh my god, you two are stupid," but he also had to be stupid with them.
Yes.
The current Shylock was no longer the Shylock of the past. The current Shylock was a Shylock who had chosen to fall for the sake of food.
Remember the crazy things that Shylock and Moriarty did to "coax" Issou back to the kitchen to continue the afternoon market?
After successfully uncovering all the spies in S.H.E.L.D. and the Hydra, Shylock and Moriarty were also successfully blacklisted by "My Chinese Restaurant".
Therefore, in order to get their names off "My Chinese Restaurant"'s blacklist as soon as possible, Moriarty and Shylock had no choice but to work together to gain Issou's favor again.
It was precisely because of this that Shylock's mind was filled with —
Oh my god, the two of them are really stupid.
But after Moriarty finished speaking, he had no choice but to stupidly say, "Then Izu, you can consider me a little."
When the black-haired girl turned her head to look at him in surprise, the detective smiled at her and said, "Because I'm expensive."
"Pfft!"
Although Issou did not know that Moriarty and Shylock deliberately came to her to gain her favor in order to get her name off the blacklist as soon as possible, this did not stop her from laughing out loud at Shylock's awkward act.
After laughing for a while, the black-haired girl asked the two highly intelligent people who sneaked into the kitchen, "Is there something you want?"
"Issou, you're really smart."
When Moriarty heard Issou's words, he could not help but praise her. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the black-haired girl's face suddenly showed a somewhat indescribable expression —
If she remembered correctly.
Her mother also praised her in the same way when she asked her to clean up Loki's mess, right?
Therefore, even though it was a compliment, because of Coubé's "gem", Issou could not accept it at all.
Moriarty, who did not know the whole story, could also read something from Issou's expression. However, because it would not benefit them in any way, he pretended not to see it and continued, "Can we try your lunch today?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Moriarty's words, Issou was stunned for a moment. She then asked in return, "Why not? Isn't the afternoon market not over yet? "
Shylock and Moriarty were also stunned by Issou's words. For once, they asked in a silly manner, "Didn't you blacklist us from 'My Chinese Restaurant'?"
"Yes."
Issou nodded and said again, "But didn't I remove you from the blacklist?"
Although she was so angry that she blacklisted both Shylock and Moriarty from 'My Chinese Restaurant', those who knew Issou knew that she was actually very easy to please and very soft-hearted.
So …
"When John came to eat with us the day before yesterday, I already told him."
Issou looked at Moriarty and Shylock. When she saw the expressions on their faces, she raised her eyebrows slightly. "So … John didn't tell you?"
When they heard Issou's last sentence, Shylock and Moriarty both showed a similar (ferocious) smile. They said in unison, "Obviously! He didn't tell us! "
It wasn't that Moriarty and Sherlock didn't stop coming to "My Chinese Restaurant" after finding out that they were on the blacklist. These two people with high IQ who could almost see through people's hearts certainly had a way to make the soft-hearted and kind-hearted Izu change her mind.
But the problem was …
Sometimes, plans couldn't keep up with changes.
Take this incident for example. Moriarty and Shylock first worked together to uncover all the spies in S.H.E.L.D. and Hydra, which led to them being blacklisted by 'My Chinese Restaurant'.
Then, without waiting for them to come up with a good way to make Izzo change his mind, the Hydra and SHIELD undercover agents who were caught because of their big boss's operation felt that their performance was no longer competent for the role of agent/undercover, so in order not to waste the organization's resources, they decided to withdraw from Izzo.
Director Fury: "…???"
Baron Straker: "…???"
After the group of Hydra and S.H.E.L.D. spies resigned from their boss at lightning speed, they ran to 'My Chinese Restaurant' to apply for a waiter position.
Issou, who was overwhelmed by a wave of Hydra and S.H.E.L.D. spies who came to 'My Chinese Restaurant' to apply for a job: "…!!!"
Not only did he want Shylock and Moriarty to be blacklisted!
He also wanted to seal their names on the blacklist!
Therefore, Moriarty and Sherlock, who had come to "My Chinese Restaurant" several times only to run into S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra undercover agents who had just come to apply for a job. Of course, before they could do anything to make Izu change her mind, Moriarty and Sherlock were rejected by her to please her and continue to stay on the blacklist of "My Chinese Restaurant".
Shylock and Moriarty were unlucky. The two of them were busy the day before yesterday, so they didn't come to "My Chinese Restaurant". Only Watson came to visit.
Since they were the London trio, Issou naturally thought that if she told Watson that "Jim and Shylock can eat here", he would naturally pass the message to Moriarty and Shylock.
But who knew …
"Wait!"
Facing Shylock and Moriarty, who came to settle accounts with him, Watson made a stop gesture to them and then said, "Issou did tell me about this, but I don't think it has much to do with you."
"Because even if you are still on the blacklist of 'My Chinese Restaurant', you will still come here as usual, right?"
Watson spread his hands and showed an innocent expression to Shylock and Moriarty. "So what does it matter if I tell you or not?"
Hearing Watson's quibble, Shylock and Moriarty narrowed their eyes slightly. But before they could say anything or do anything, they heard him speak again.
Watson said as if he was talking to himself, "I booked this table. Don't you think I have the right to choose the people who eat at the same table with me?"
As soon as the military doctor's voice fell, the detective and the criminal master, who were still squinting at him, suddenly showed a friendly expression. They said, "It really doesn't matter, John."
"Yeah? I think so too. "
After Watson, who firmly refused to admit that he had been bullied at the dining table many times, heard Moriarty and Shylock's words, he showed them a good-natured smile. "Then sit down quickly."
As soon as his voice fell, someone suddenly asked, "Excuse me, can I sit down too?"
