A stir arose in the airport's security monitoring room. After Bai Ye's figure disappeared, he used multiple teleports to head towards the center of Tokyo.
The Tokyo International Airport was only a dozen kilometers from the city center. For Bai Ye, reaching the city center quickly was a matter of a few breaths.
However, he was not in such a hurry. For every few kilometers he teleported, he would stop and walk slowly, taking in the foreign scenery.
The streets, both large and small, were plastered with many Japanese signs. Before coming, Bai Ye had learned Japanese in a few minutes, so he could understand all the slogans on the street and the words spoken by passersby.
It was said that in television, movies, and manga, the cities of country R were very clean and comfortable. Looking around, the main streets and many public places were indeed quite clean. However, Bai Ye also saw many small alleys, especially in inconspicuous corners, with scattered garbage that looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time...
As for the city scenery, having seen the prosperity of the Magic City and the ethereal natural landscapes of the Wo Jiao Mountains, even the foreign scenery did not hold much surprise for him.
It was the girls he encountered on the road in country R, most of whom did look like the rumored "kawaii." Without mentioning the exquisiteness of their features, their demeanor and appearance on the surface were indeed quite cute and well-behaved...
And because he was not famous in country R, Bai Ye did not wear a mask. His handsome face and his unrestrained, transcendent aura attracted the attention of countless kawaii girls along the way!
Slowly, Bai Ye arrived at the city center. After strolling for half a day, he became hungry and walked into a small noodle shop by the street, smelling waves of aroma.
Thinking the taste might be good, Bai Ye turned, pulled open the door curtain, and walked in.
Inside the small noodle shop, everything was made of wood, in the style of country R. There was an open kitchen, with shared dining tables on three sides. The place was not short of customers, most of them young people, along with a few students wearing JK uniforms.
In the kitchen, there was only a woman who still possessed a considerable charm. She was cooking noodles while serving guests. She appeared to be the owner of this small noodle shop.
"Irasshaimase! (Welcome!)"
Upon seeing a customer enter, the proprietress greeted them habitually, then looked up, a spark leaping into her eyes.
*Kakkoii!*
The proprietress was momentarily stunned. When she came to her senses, a hint of girlish shyness appeared on her face, which had seen much of the world. She then quickly asked in Japanese, "How many of you?"
"One."
Bai Ye responded in fluent and standard Japanese, so much so that the proprietress couldn't tell he was from Great Xia.
"Alright! Please sit here."
The proprietress gestured to the empty seat next to a few female students, her tone and gaze as gentle as water.
Bai Ye sat down, and the proprietress handed him a tablet on which he could order.
"One Udon, arigatou!"
"Hai~ Please wait a moment."
The proprietress poured Bai Ye a cup of tea, then busied herself preparing his Udon noodles.
Bai Ye nodded and was just taking out his phone to browse when the girls next to him stirred, secretly glancing at Bai Ye.
"Eh! Eh!"
"The 'onii-chan' next to us is so handsome!"
"Mmm~ So handsome, so handsome!"
"Oh my god! He's even more handsome than Hou Ying Qin Wang!"
...
The girls had already stopped using their chopsticks. Some shyly covered their mouths, while others excitedly clenched their little pink fists...
"Big brother~ are you a big star?"
"But why do we feel like we've seen you on TV?"
The girl next to him asked excitedly and shyly, while the other two girls leaned closer, cupping their ears.
Bai Ye looked at them, turned his head, and smiled lightly, saying in Japanese:
"I'm not any kind of star, just a magician."
The girls looked surprised and exclaimed excitedly:
"Magician? Soudatou!!!"
"Sugoi!"
"Big brother~ Can you perform a trick?"
...
"Certainly!"
Seeing the three cute girls with the expectant look of little fangirls, Bai Ye smiled slightly and didn't mind showing off a little.
The proprietress and other customers also looked over with curiosity.
"Watch carefully."
Bai Ye picked up the small teacup, drank it in one gulp, and then turned the empty cup to show them.
"There's no tea left in the cup, is there?"
"Mmm, mmm!"
"Big brother drank it all."
"There's nothing left at all!"
...
The three girls nodded like pecking chicks, tilting their little heads, excited and curious.
"Pay attention!"
Bai Ye placed the cup on the table, covered the mouth of the cup with his left hand, and gently snapped his fingers with his right.
With a *da* sound, he removed his left hand.
The cup was once again filled with light brown tea.
At this, exclamations erupted throughout the small noodle shop.
"Wow! Sugoi!!!"
"Eh? Masaka!!!"
"Sonna wa koto ga ari enai?? (How is that possible!!)"
...
"Oniisan! Is this... is this barley tea?"
The girl next to him stared intently at the teacup, exclaiming in surprise.
Bai Ye nodded gently and took a sip of the tea.
"Sugoi!!"
The girls clapped excitedly, their eyes filled with admiration. It was clear that in an instant, they had completely become Bai Ye's loyal fangirls.
Bai Ye smiled and said, "It's just a small trick."
"Excuse me, your Udon noodles are ready!"
The proprietress looked at Bai Ye with a gaze full of admiration.
"Arigatou!"
The noodles were exquisitely made, appealing in color, aroma, and taste, clearly showing the proprietress's excellent cooking skills.
After finishing her tasks, the proprietress leaned slightly on the counter, propping her beautiful face with one hand, and inquired:
"Excuse me, with such incredible magic, you must be a great magician, right? Why haven't we seen you on television?"
