The stew was being made in the kitchen, and when the dish was ready, the menu that greeted the strange white-haired girl was all done, and now it was just a matter of watching the heat, so Mr. Smith asked the apprentice to do the work, and he went to the alley behind.

After finishing his work for a while, Mr. Smith planned to take a break from a cigarette.

The town doesn't have particularly tall buildings...... The sky is not obscured by the materials of the earth.

Mr. Smith loved the place — he had attended the university there but didn't choose to leave it after graduating.

Most of the alumni of the same period were puzzled – after all, they graduated from the University of St Andrews and ended up working as a chef.

Apparently old Smith was very angry with Mr. Smith for this behavior, so that father and son had rarely interacted with each other in the last ten years—and even this time Mr. Smith's wife, Debra, was about to become pregnant for the second time, and only his mother, Mrs. Elula, was willing to come from her hometown.

Although both his wife, Debra, and his mother, Lady Ellula, are trying to repair the relationship between Old Smith and Mr. Smith, there has not been much progress so far.

I really shouldn't let Joe's relationship with him become the same as his father...... Smith now thought slowly as he looked at the smoke of the cigarette smoke that was gradually dissipating.

Thinking about it, he took advantage of this time to call home, and it was his mother, Mrs. Elula, who answered the phone.

After inquiring about Mrs. Debra, and learning that she was taking a nap, Mr. Smith suddenly said to his mother, Mrs. Ellula, "Mum, can you please not scare Joe with horror stories in the future? ”

Mrs. Ellella on the other side of the phone was stunned and asked curiously, "Did something happen?"

Mr. Smith had no choice but to briefly explain Joe's situation, "...... The boy felt that the Grim Reaper really wanted to take him, and said that he could see the Grim Reaper. ”

"Oh!" said Lady Elula, covering her lips with a look of start, "it's just a joke, like a little devil legend on Halloween." ”

"He's just a kid. ”

"I think I'm really going to have to do some soul-searching. Lady Elula was annoyed and said, "I'll apologize to Joe when he returns." ”

Mr. Smith made a few more small talks with Mrs. Ellula before turning off the phone.

The cigarette was also finished at this time, Mr. Smith extinguished the cigarette butt, and couldn't help but shake his head, how could there be a Grim Reaper in the world?

Suddenly, a cold gust of wind blew through the alley...... It was as if something was approaching behind him.

Mr. Smith suddenly felt cold, and he subconsciously turned his head, but saw nothing—not nothing...... Suddenly, he saw a black cat.

The black cat was lying on the tread of an exterior staircase deep in the alley, looking lazy...... Its golden eyes were like amber, and it was looking at Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith frowned lightly at the moment of eye contact with the black cat...... He subconsciously approached the black cat.

The black cat remained motionless, as if he were not at all afraid of the stranger—at last, Mr. Smith was about to come to the black cat...... There are only three or four steps left.

At this moment, the black cat suddenly stood up...... After standing, it is motionless again, only the tail swings slightly.

Mr. Smith held out his hand to it, and he wanted to touch it—as if on some impulse that he couldn't tell.

"Excuse me—"

The voice, as calm as the sea breeze, sounded behind Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith was startled, and turned around hurriedly, to see a young man with a quiet air...... Also Asian faces.

Mr. Smith couldn't help but think of the gray-haired girl who was still in his dining room, and wondered if the young man and she knew each other or something—of course, this was just a random guess on the part of Mr. Smith.

"What's the matter. Mr. Smith asked, after a pause.

The young man in front of him didn't look like a guy who was in a hurry, and he didn't get too close, which gave people a feeling of being just right...... Almost instantly, Mr. Smith felt as if his defenses had been inexplicably broken.

"I've just been here and I'm not familiar with it. The young man smiled and said, "Can you tell me how to get to the supermarket?" ”

"Oh!" Mr. Smith nodded, "You go out of here first......"

Mr. Smith was quick to point the young man for directions, and was very enthusiastic about the approximate locations of some other types of shops in passing—tips he knew were in great need of those who were new to the city.

"You're such a nice guy. The young man nodded slightly, "Thank you so much...... If I have the chance, I'll come to your store and try it. ”

That's certainly good...... No chef doesn't like the idea of eating their own food.

"My name is Smith and I'm the chef and owner of this restaurant. Mr. Smith introduced himself very kindly.

"Luo Qiu. The young man said casually: "I just came here, ready to go to school." ”

Really...... Mr. Smith nodded secretly, but he didn't directly say that he was also a student at the university, and that he was the other party's senior...... Because Mr. Smith has been in contact with some Asian students, they are all more reserved.

"Welcome to St Andrews. Mr. Smith does what a local should do, "You're going to love it quickly." ”

Boss Luo nodded with a smile and slowly left here under Mr. Smith's gaze.

Mr. Smith shook his head casually, spring goes to autumn, and every year there are always many new faces coming to this place, and there are also those who are already familiar leaving here...... And he's been here for ten years.

When Mr. Smith turned around and looked at the staircase of the outer wall, the little black cat had disappeared at some point.

Maybe it's foraging...... Mr. Smith thought to himself, the stew was almost ready.

Mr. Smith quickly returned to the kitchen through the back door—and in a few moments, behind the exterior corridor, a small figure slowly walked out.

......

......

To Mr. Smith's surprise, when he brought out the food, he was surprised to find his son Joe sitting at the table of the white-haired Asian girl, seemingly talking about something, and even having a good conversation.

Mr. Smith is naturally aware of his son's character...... Although Joe is not an introverted and shy personality, he rarely gets so close to someone he meets for the first time.

Probably because girls have an affinity bonus...... Especially good-looking girls.

The kid looks promising...... Mr. Smith, as a father, smiled, and he slowly walked in front of Nero, "Miss, your food is ready." ”

"Oh yes...... Another glass of beer, boss, I want the biggest one!" Nero said haughtily, "You really still have to go with beer when you eat fried chicken!"

"My son has bothered you, miss. Mr. Smith said.

"Huh?" Nero said, stretching his waist, "It's okay, this little ghost is quite interesting, and it makes you want to bully it when you look at it." ”

I don't know what Mr. Smith is thinking at this moment...... He walked away anyway and went to find the cup.

"Little ghost, where did you just go?" Seeing Mr. Smith walk away, Nero directly picked up a piece of chicken corn with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and finally licked the seasoning powder on his fingers, "...... Do you see the Grim Reaper?"

Joe just looked at the big sister who was sucking her fingers in front of her, and wondered, "Aren't you Mr. Death?"

"Sister!" Nero squinted, "If you do see death, then that guy must be someone else, not me." ”

Joe lowered his head, as if trying to comprehend the words.

In some ways, the former Michael Guild god with the name of a tyrant will have little patience - Nero directly opened Joe's mouth with his finger at this time, "You just have to tell me how you saw the Grim Reaper, what the Grim Reaper looked like, and where you saw it." ”

Joe blinked and said, "Are you going to find Mr. Death?"

Nero shrugged and said, "If it seems interesting, I should take a look." ”

Joe asked curiously, "Find Mr. Death, what if Mr. Death wants to take you away as well?"

"It doesn't matter who takes whom. Nero's nose suddenly sharpened at this moment—it really became sharper, and the changes of the Black Soul Emissary were mostly skillful by her training in this way, and her second finger also reached into Joe's mouth, stretching the little boy's mouth straight away, "Don't talk nonsense, let you just say it." ”

Joe shook his head, "I don't know, sometimes Mr. Death is a sparrow, sometimes an owl standing in a tree, sometimes a little mouse standing straight out of the window. ”

Nero suddenly wondered, "How can you be sure that these things are Mr. Death?"

"I just know. Joe said quite seriously, "I know! It came for me, it wanted to take me away, but my grandma and dad didn't believe me." They said I was dreaming. ”

"Heh......" Nero nodded, "So when you see me, you think I'm also Mr. Death?"

Joe nodded aggrievedly.

Nero suddenly said, "You little devil does have a strange smell on you...... Mr. Chef also has some on him. ”

Joe didn't know what she was talking about, so he just looked at her quizzically.

Nero's eyes rolled at this moment, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Little ghost, I can help you beat Mr. Death away~ but there are conditions." ”

"What conditions?" said Joe, who didn't think much about it.

"I haven't figured it out yet. Nero narrowed his eyes, "But if you promise me, I'll help you beat Mr. Death away." You can wait until I think of what conditions are fulfilled in the promise...... Isn't it a good deal?"

"Can you really knock Mr. Death away?" Joe looked confused.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm very powerful~" As he spoke, Nero suddenly reached out and grabbed Joe's back collar, lifted him up, and then turned into a gust of black wind and rushed out of the restaurant in an instant.

In a stealthy way, in a short period of time, the black wind circled most of the town in the air, and then returned to the restaurant again.

The black wind converged and changed into Nero's appearance again, and she grabbed a piece of fried chicken leg again with her bare hands and nibbled on it, only to see Joe's mouth open almost like an egg, and his hair stood on end, like a broom.

"Miss, the beer you ordered. Mr. Smith just came back at this point, "Joe, how did your hair come to look like this?"

"Smith!" Joe pointed at Nero blankly at this time and said, "This sister is amazing!"

Mr. Smith gave Nero a puzzled look.

I saw that she poured the beer she had just brought directly into the mouthful, and she had a full burp at the end...... Mr. Smith nodded, "Hmm...... It's pretty impressive. ”

"Boss, another drink!" Nero let out a satisfied exhalation as he slammed the cup down the table, "Another plate of fried chicken!"

"Well... All right. Mr. Smith nodded, gave Joe a quizzful look, and felt a little strange, but walked into the kitchen anyway.

Nero looked at Joe and said, "What's the matter, now do you believe I can beat Mr. Death away?"

Joe nodded vigorously, then thought for a moment and said, "I promise you!"

"What a good boy. Nero's eyes bent like crescent moons, and then atomized his body, then transformed into a silver-gray leopard, then bit Joe's clothes and lifted him up, jumping straight out of the window and onto the roof across the street.

......

When Mr. Smith brought the fried chicken out, he found that the white-haired girl was gone...... Instead, there were a few bills on the table - which was enough to cover all the expenses.

Mr. Smith couldn't help but be stunned...... He looked to the side and saw that Joe was lying on the couch, already asleep.

Mr. Smith shook his head, then took a coat and put it over Joe's body, then took the small blackboard outside the dining room and hung up the rest sign by the way.

Mr. Smith was also a little sleepy and planned to take a break.

He sat at the counter dozing off, unaware that a pair of amber eyes were looking out the window at the restaurant...... Then, a black kitten jumped away.

The kitten was unusually agile, but in the blink of an eye, it crossed two streets and finally got into a house from a garage.

The house is almost opaque, and all the curtains are pulled closer...... The black cat jumped on the table in the living room at once, and then used the table as a pedal to a chair in front of the fireplace...... Jumped into someone's arms.

The guy sitting in the chair reached out and gently stroked the black cat's back, and then asked in a low voice, "What makes you feel scared, little one." ”
