boom!
The sound of palms slapping the table was accompanied by Sato's imposing shout.
Suddenly, the restaurant was quiet.
All eyes were on the director of the Operation Department of the 'Zero Lesson' who was known for his coldness and sternness.
Especially Ryosuke.
The middle-aged criminal policeman stared at this colleague who just met today with a look of 'you are sick'.
Although he didn't know why this colleague became so 'irrational'.
However, he knew that the other party was finished.
Ryosuke doesn't know others, but he knows Jason.
Jason was one of those perfectly harmless people.
Simply put, as long as you don't provoke him, you are safe.
If you provoked him
Feel sorry.
You're just asking for blessings.
Ryosuke can already imagine the next scene like this completely hostile table-slapping behavior.
However, beyond Ryosuke's expectation, Huakaiyuanshu was faster than Jason.
"Get out! What right do you have to dictate here!"
Huakaiyuanshu said with a gloomy expression.
One is a dispensable collaborator.
One is a partner in the belief of milk tea.
It is needless to say which is more important.
And Sato, who had been waiting for the tree to bloom and praise him, was stunned.
Get out
Are you talking about me
Shouldn't it
wrong!
Definitely not mine!
Then there is only-
"Get out!"
"Master Tree has issued an order to evict guests!"
"Get out of here!"
Sato yelled at Jason.
He didn't think it was the Blossoming Yard Tree calling at him, so apart from him, Jason was the only one left.
He thinks so.
After all, he and Huakaiyuanshu are in the same camp.
But just after Sato's words fell, Sato waved his hand.
Woo!
A strong wind rose from under Sato's feet, enveloping Sato's whole body and 'flying' out.
thump!
The people in the restaurant could clearly hear the heavy landing.
Onodera shrank his neck and muttered.
"Bones are going to break."
Ryosuke nodded in agreement.
Not only did he agree with Onodera's point of view, but also because he really heard the sound of bone breaking and exercising.
After two times of strengthening of the "Hana Sakura" organization, Ryosuke has already touched the limit of normal people at this moment, and even slightly exceeded it. Maybe there is no corresponding secret technique and skill, but the simple five senses have long been unmatched by ordinary people that's it.
"He deserves it."
Ryosuke said softly.
As soon as he thought that the other party deliberately used the "information asymmetry" to set up a trap for him, Ryosuke didn't have any sympathy in his heart.
If it wasn't for the insistence in his heart that didn't allow it, he wouldn't mind going out to make up two shots at this time.
"Um."
"This guy is a bastard who is strong on the outside."
"Shanxia is still a real villain after all."
"he?"
"Pooh!"
Onodera agrees very much.
"Sorry, Jason."
"It was my mistake, I invited a not-so-bright bastard."
Huakaiyuanshu, who was sitting opposite Jason, apologized directly.
This in itself was his fault, so apologizing is of course nothing.
Especially for this kind of person who has the same beliefs and hobbies as him, he doesn't feel any embarrassment in apologizing.
"Then as compensation... can you make me a few more cups of milk tea?"
Jason asked.
Jason didn't pay attention to Sato's words.
In other words, when the other party was thrown out by the Blossoming Yard Tree, Jason ignored the other party.
Although he came here because of the other party at first, at this moment, Jason already knew that there was no need to be so troublesome.
What is Sato here for
Blooming Yard Tree says it all here.
Moreover, based on Sato's attitude towards Hanakainju, it is conceivable that Sato is the passive side in this transaction.
So, none of this matters anymore.
What's important is that Huakaiyuanshu took a look at Onodera and Ryosuke just now.
Jason already had a guess as to what Huakaiyuanshu wanted to do.
It is nothing more than replacing Sato with Onodera and Ryosuke.
It's a good thing for him.
An acquaintance is more suitable than a strange and cunning person.
Ryosuke is worthy of reassurance.
Onodera
To some extent, Jason felt more at ease.
Because Onodera is a smart man.
Of course, this cooperation must have some conditions.
However, this is not what Jason needs to worry about.
He is more concerned about the milk tea he just drank.
Seriously speaking, the craftsmanship of Huakaiyuanshu is really amazing.
He wants to try again.
After hearing Jason's request, Huakaiyuanshu was taken aback for a moment, and then the young onmyoji smiled.
Is there anything more gratifying than a genuine compliment
Naturally, the place being praised is exactly what that person is proud of!
Huakaiyuanshu has been praised for his talent, his appearance, his strength and so on.
However, these are not what he wants.
What he's really proud of is—
Make milk tea!
"wait for me!"
"It will be ready soon!"
After Huakaiyuanshu said so, he returned to the bar, put on his apron again, and started a new round of preparation.
Fast as always.
Also delicious as always.
Watching Jason drink every last drop, Huakaiyuanshu became happier.
"Need more?"
"How much do you drink, how much will I prepare for you!"
The happy Blossom Tree uttered a sentence that was enough to make him 'unforgettable'.
"May I?"
"Thank you so much."
"please continue!"
Jason's eyes lit up.
Treating guests is enough to make people happy.
And unlimited treats are a big surprise.
Afterwards, the inside of the restaurant became—
"Need more?"
"continue!"
"Need more?"
"continue!"
…
Again and again, round after round.
Even with the physical strength of Blossom Yonshu, his forehead started to sweat.
How many cups did I brew
One hundred cups? Two hundred cups
Or three hundred cups
Hasn't Jason had enough
This is really... great!
Seeing Jason still drinking the milk tea he had prepared to the last drop, although Huakaiyuanshu felt tired, he was more excited, that kind of unparalleled excitement.
continue! continue! continue!
Until you meet Jason!
With this belief, Huakaiyuanshu is making milk tea faster and faster.
And the quality hasn't been compromised.
It seems that there has been a slight improvement.
He broke through!
Huakaiyuanshu felt the change in himself in an instant.
really!
Only those who really resonate can bring me one step closer to the 'tea art world'.
After realizing the progress he dreamed of, Huakaiyuanshu became more and more happy.
The people on the side were already stunned.
Not only has the speed of modulating the flower blooming courtyard tree, but also has the speed of drinking milk tea to Jason.
Especially Jason!
Is that belly a bottomless pit
Why has there been no change after drinking so much
Don't you need to go to the toilet
But under the shock of everyone, the modulation of Huakaiyuanshu stopped.
Not tired.
Not an accident.
It’s just… no ingredients left.
Make bricks without straw.
Even a "milk tea expert" like Huakaiyuanshu can't make something out of nothing.
This made Huakaiyuanshu feel uncomfortable.
An uneasy feeling.
Wiping his hands with a slight frown, Blossoming Yard Tree walked across from Jason without taking off his apron.
"Sorry, Jason."
"Today is really in a hurry, and I didn't prepare better and more materials."
"Next time, I will be fully prepared and invite you again."
Blooming courtyard tree guarantees.
"It's a deal!"
Jason held out his hand as he spoke.
Blossoming Tree was stunned, and then reached out to shake Jason's hand.
"It's a deal!"
Said the young onmyoji.
Then, the other party looked at Ryosuke and Onodera.
"I'm looking for Sato, you should be able to guess what it means?"
Huakaiyuanshu asked bluntly.
Onodera nodded immediately.
Ryosuke thought for a moment before nodding.
The former is completely instinctive, no matter what Huakaiyuanshu says, Onodera will nod in agreement.
As for after
That's something to do later, he agreed first, that's right.
Ryosuke is different.
He agreed after really thinking about it.
The reactions of the two fell into Huakaiyuanshu's eyes, and the young onmyoji smiled indifferently.
It really doesn't matter.
With his support, the pig can also gain a firm foothold in the 'Hana Sakura'.
What's more, the two in front of me are not pigs.
"Yamashita is dead, I need a new collaborator, help me keep an eye on 'Hana Sakura'."
"Of course, two words are fine."
"You can both cooperate and compete."
Huakaiyuanshu said casually.
"Cooperation! Cooperation!"
"Of course we cooperate!"
"Many people are powerful!"
Before Ryosuke could open his mouth, Onodera kept talking. While talking, he showed a flattering smile to Jason, and then showed a flattering smile to Ryosuke.
Onodera is no fool.
Of course he understood that he was just a little guy who had just joined him.
At this time, it is most correct to be with the light and the dust.
compete
joke.
He is as strong as Xiaoye Temple, when did he rely on grabbing things with his companions to gain benefits.
Win-win cooperation is his goal.
Jason ignored Onodera's flattering smile.
Ryosuke frowned and looked at Onodera's ingratiating smile.
He really wanted to talk about competition.
But thinking about what happened and what happened recently, the middle-aged police officer finally nodded.
"very good."
"Now that the most critical thing has been determined."
"Then I'll say that's what I know."
Huakaiyuanshu seemed to be talking to Onodera and Ryosuke, but he looked at Jason, and he said slowly—
"Some people are dissatisfied with 'Hana Sakura'."
"The development of 'Hana Sakura' has threatened some people."
"Of course, there are also people who are jealous of 'Hana Sakura'."
"So...someone made a move."
Ryosuke shook his body.
He thought of the officer Miyamoto who was about to do it, but was killed by others before he could do it.
Onodera lowered his head.
Compared with Ryosuke who knows little, he knows more.
Even, from a long time ago, he already had this feeling.
Just didn't think about it.
Or rather, he thought of it.
But I don't want to admit it.
At this moment, when Huakaiyuanshu said it, Onodera couldn't help taking a breath.
If he felt that 'Hana Sakura' was a crumbling ship.
So now, in front of this big ship, there has been a storm.
fine! fine!
I've jumped on other boats!
Otherwise, you have to be buried with him!
After thinking about it, Onodera breathed a sigh of relief, then, he looked at Jason, who became more and more obsequious.
"Can you determine who those people are?"
Jason asked.
"able."
"The Huakaiyuan family, the Tuyumen family, the Caobi family, and the Xiaorou family, the four major Onmyoji families are all involved."
"besides… "
"'Prosperous Moon'!"
Huakaiyuanshu said a term that Jason was quite familiar with.
"Is it involved there?"
Jason frowned.
As for 'Prosperous Moon', most of Jason's understanding comes from the old monk of Tongshou Temple.
According to the old monk, there is an 'inner world' that is truly separated from the 'moral world'.
Not only is there a true sense of transcendence.
There are also many rumored monster plants and so on.
To sum up, there is detached from the 'mortal'.
It is a 'world outside' that ordinary people cannot touch.
Of course, Jason pays more attention to 'Oni no Kawa'!
It's not the 'Oni no Kawa' projected!
It is the real 'Oni no Kawa'!
He will definitely go there.
He kept the invitation letter given to him by the old monk of Tongshou Temple in his backpack all the time.
"if not?"
"We are connected here and there."
"Even to some extent, our place has been influencing there—the latest game consoles are also very popular there."
Huakaiyuanshu gave an example.
A group of ancient superheroes playing games
Jason thought about the scene.
Suddenly, I felt that it was not bad.
So, he asked subconsciously.
"What game are you playing?"
Huakaiyuanshu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Jason to ask such a question.
"It's like a plumber who keeps playing the game of turtles in order to find a girlfriend."
"The other is two men in blue pants and red pants shooting guns."
"The other one is eating beans with a big mouth."
After serious thinking, Huakaiyuanshu replied.
"Sounds good."
Jason commented.
"Maybe."
"I don't really like playing games."
"Every day is endless practice, and the time for making milk tea has become scarce—however, there will be a lot more now."
Huakaiyuanshu laughed as he said that.
Jason knew what the other party was talking about.
Abandoning the 'King of Fighters-King of Fighters Tournament', the opponent's time will naturally hide.
"Be careful."
"The bastards in the master's house are not well-intentioned."
"That guy, Qing, will die if he dies, Jason, you must pay attention to safety."
"Also, I suspect that this 'King of Fighters Tournament' has some connections with 'Hana Sakura'."
The blossoming courtyard tree reminded Jason.
"thanks for reminding."
Jason nodded, then pondered.
"Counterattack?"
"Or, simply..."
"trap?"
Of course, an organization like 'Hana Sakura' cannot sit still.
A counterattack is inevitable.
It is even very possible to set a trap in the name of the so-called 'King of Fighters Contest'.
That…
Just when Jason was about to continue asking, Ryosuke's walkie-talkie rang suddenly, and Urashima's panicked voice came from inside—
"It's bad sir!"
"Officer Sato is dead!"
