What Chen Yu booked for the evening was a newly opened restaurant, which is a relatively popular new restaurant in Japan, with a strong American style.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Chen Yu had reserved a seat in advance, so the three of them were quickly led to their seats.

Looking at the menu brought by the waiter, Naoki Inomata asked Chen Yu: "Brother Yu, do you want to start ordering now? My sister-in-law hasn't come here yet, so why don't you wait for her?"

"Hiromi just sent me a message. She was stuck in traffic and was delayed a bit, so we don't have to wait for her." Chen Yu explained to Inomata Naoki, while looking at the menu, he said: "Let's order first, and we'll eat while we're there."

Just wait and call her when she comes."

Hearing what Chen Yu said, Naoki Inomata put down his worries, took the menu, looked at the food on it, and asked Tokai Lin Xizi who was standing aside: "Tokai Lin, is there anything you want to eat?"

"This Curry Dungeness Crab looks good, I want to try it." Donghai Lin Xizi looked at the menu and ordered something she wanted to eat with some reserve.

Seeing Tokai Lin Yuko ordered crab, Chen Yu and Inomata Naoki ordered a large portion of curry lobster and squid after some discussion.

The specialty of this shop is a variety of curry-flavored seafood, and its most distinctive feature is that the food is served without plates or bowls. Instead, it is poured directly on the table for customers to eat with their hands.

As Chen Yu and the others took their order, the waiter also brought a clean disposable tablecloth and laid it on the table, and handed each of them disposable gloves.

After putting on their gloves, the food they ordered was soon brought to them.

Watching the waiter pour a big bag of steaming food on the table and then grabbing it with his hands to eat, this bold way of eating can't help but whet your appetite.

He reached out and picked up a piece of squid, dipped it in the yellow curry sauce sprinkled on the table, and put it directly into his mouth. The rich curry flavor mixed with the delicious seafood in his mouth, and it suddenly exploded in his mouth like a gourmet bomb.

Chen Yu's appetite suddenly came back to life.

"It tastes pretty good!" he praised. Before he could completely swallow the squid in his mouth, Chen Yu's hand had already reached out to a piece of lobster.

Because the Dungeness crab was Tokai Lin Yuko's order, Chen Yu and Inomata Naoki both had a tacit understanding and did not touch the crab, but focused on the lobster and squid.

While eating, Chen Yu also thought about Naoki Inomata asking about him and Tokai Lin Yuko: "Naoki, what stalls did you and Dr. Tokai Lin visit this morning? I didn't see what you bought, but I remember you before.

If you come to a comic expo, you should at least carry a large bag of peripherals and merchandise."

"That happened several years ago. I have been away from home for a long time since I was diagnosed with cancer." Speaking of what happened back then, Inomata Naoki's face also showed some shame and fear.

Back then, Naoki Inomata was very enthusiastic about the two-dimensional dimension. Although he was not a fanatical otaku, he would never miss out on various peripherals, comics, and new games. Whenever there was an exhibition in Tokyo every weekend, he would definitely be happy to do so.

Go there and spend all the pocket money you earn from working on it.

But when he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, he was completely knocked down. All his thoughts were spent on how to treat the disease and survive. Naturally, he became indifferent to his former hobbies and finally gave up.

Looking back now, Inomata Naoki can't help but feel a little ashamed of his former second grade.

Although Japan is the birthplace of two-dimensional culture, staying in Japan is not a very meaningful evaluation. Otakus are also a relatively negative group in Japan.

"I think it's okay. There's nothing wrong with liking those things, but otakus are not very good at communicating, right?" Donghai Lin Xizi held a crab claw in her mouth, sucking the juice on it, and commented.

He expressed his own opinion: "I have been in charge of a case before. The suspect suspected by the police at that time was an otaku. It was precisely because the other party was not good at communicating that he was regarded as a suspect."

"I don't quite agree with this point. The inability of otakus to communicate is limited to non-otakus, because there is no common topic between the two." Chen Yu had a different view on this: "What ordinary people call otakus

The stay-at-home tribe actually belongs to the hidden tribe to a large extent.”

"Hidden tribe should be the kind of people who have been psychologically damaged and therefore resist contact with society, right?" Naoki Inomata has returned to his hometown of Kumamoto to run a ranch, but he can still talk about these topics: "Speaking of this kind of people

In fact, there are many in Japan, and they are indeed very close to otakus in a sense."

When this topic was mentioned, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly seemed a bit heavy. Because of their work, Chen Yu and Donghai Lin Xizi had obviously come into contact with such similar groups. Most of them suffered from mental illness when they were young or in work and life.

He is so hurt that he no longer dares to face society, and is even unwilling to step out of the house, thus falling into self-isolation.

Although Japanese society has gradually begun to pay attention to this group in recent years, it is still a very serious problem.

For the Japanese, conformity is a very important social behavior. If you are unique, you will easily be rejected by the group, fall into isolation, be labeled as an alien, or even die socially.

Discussing such an issue naturally affected the appetite of the three of them, so that when Jonouchi Hiromi arrived late, there was still a lot of food left on the table.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Hiromi Jonouchi sat down next to Chen Yu. Seeing that there was still a lot of untouched food on the table, she couldn't help but said to Chen Yu: "Didn't I tell my husband not to wait for me? Why,

Isn’t it because I didn’t come that you can’t let me go?”

"No, we were chatting about a rather heavy topic just now. We were busy chatting and forgot to eat." Chen Yu explained to his wife, and at the same time gave her a pair of clean disposable gloves: "The curry here tastes good, my wife.

Do you want to add any other dishes? I’ll ask the waiter to bring over the menu.”

With that said, Chen Yu raised his hand to signal and summoned the waiter.

Hiromi Jonouchi also knew the relationship between Chen Yu and Naoki Inomata, so he was used to his rude look. He looked at the menu and ordered a curry crab and lobster before starting to eat.

But while eating, Hiromi Jonouchi was also curious about the topic of their conversation: "Husband, what were you talking about just now?"
