Well-dressed and meticulously styled Hanakaiyuan Qing walked in from outside the temple.
The steps seem leisurely, but the distance between them is exactly the same. It looks like they have been deliberately measured. Coupled with the faint smile, it looks extremely elegant.
Several attendants stopped at the steps of the 'Tongshou Temple', bowed to Huakai Yuanqing's back, and spread out to stand.
This is not only respect for the ‘Tongshou Temple’, but also trust in Jason.
They believe that Hanakain Haru will not be in danger in the 'Tongshou Temple'.
Of course, outside of the 'Tongshou Temple', they need to fulfill their responsibilities.
"Sir Jason."
Huakai Yuanqing, who walked into the courtyard, walked straight to Jason and bowed in greeting very politely.
However, Jason's eyes stopped on Huakai Yuanqing's body and then turned to the person beside him.
Even though Bong has twintails, she still has some sloppy blond hair, emerald green eyes, and healthy wheat-colored skin. She is the Sasakura girl whom Jason and Jason met at the "Gourmet Ichiban" Big Eater Competition.
"Jason!"
This somewhat naive and carefree girl immediately waved her hand when she saw Jason, an acquaintance, and then trotted over.
"Jason why are you here?"
"Are you a monk?"
"Are you the companion Mr. Hanakaiyuan mentioned earlier?"
The carefree girl asked questions again and again, with a curious look on her face.
"I'll stay here for the next few days."
"Not a monk."
"If it were the 'King of Fighters-King of Fighters Tournament', I would indeed form a team with Hanakaiin Haru."
Jason was quite patient with a friend who could eat and even gave him hamburgers. After answering the silly girl's questions one by one, Jason looked at Huakai Yuanqing again.
He needs an accurate answer from the other party.
Why does Miss Sasakura appear here?
"Sakura is the third companion I have found."
"She will team up with us to complete the 'King of Fighters-King of Fighters Tournament'."
Huakai Yuanqing answered very seriously.
Jason looked at Miss Saakura.
The carefree girl immediately showed a silly smile: she opened her mouth and a tiger tooth was exposed.
"Fighting will give me a better figure than fitness!"
"For the ideal body...come on!"
Miss Sasakura gave Jason a reason that was completely confusing.
Are you participating in the ‘King of Fighters-King of Fighters Tournament’ just to lose weight?
What the hell?
Jason looked at this carefree girl in astonishment.
"I have informed Saakura of the dangers this time. Likewise, I have also given corresponding compensation and remuneration - and this time I am here to renegotiate the previous remuneration with you."
"As you can see, Saakura became one of us just because I really couldn't find anyone I could trust, so she had to appear; therefore, Sir Jason, you will definitely have more to shoulder in this competition."
"Therefore, on the basis of promising you the original reward, I will give you another item similar to the fragment of the 'Inawa's Arrow' as compensation. I will pay you now. What do you think?"
Huakaiyuan Qing said and bowed.
There is no doubt that Huakaiyuanqing is quite polite.
We didn't choose short notice when the game started.
Instead, he notified him in advance and brought gifts.
However, this did not hinder Jason's thinking.
The difficulties faced by Huakai Yuanqing are more troublesome than imagined.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have dragged Saakura, who was still a student, into the water.
Naturally, he will shoulder more battles as the other party said.
Moreover, without the replacement of redundant teammates, failures and dangers began to increase.
so……
"Three pieces!"
Jason quoted a price.
Hearing the quotation, Huakaiyuan Qing was stunned, but immediately laughed.
“Very fair price.”
Huakai Yuanqing said this.
It's not a sarcasm, but a sincere statement.
Huakai Yuanqing's heart, which she had been holding on to, immediately relaxed.
The young onmyoji from the Flower Garden is not worried about Jason's price or the lion opening his mouth. What he is most worried about is Jason giving up the game.
Once Jason gives up, he is truly finished.
Although she is pretentious, Hanakai Yuanqing is not proud enough to think that she can do 1v3.
Especially among those people were his 'acquaintances'.
Moreover, those 'acquaintances' understood him better than he imagined.
If he hadn't been looking for his teammates in the 'King of Fighters Tournament' this time, he wouldn't have discovered that these bastards had penetrated so deeply around him.
Even some of the fighters who were familiar with him were arranged by these bastards.
Fortunately, I met Saakura by accident.
Otherwise, he would be embarrassed and replace him with one of his followers this time.
Thinking of that situation, Huakaiyuan Qing felt even more uncomfortable than death.
fortunately!
Didn't happen!
Luckily I met Saakura!
Jason didn't give up either!
call!
Huakai Yuanqing didn't hide it, she just let out a long sigh in front of Jason and Saakura.
"I'm really worried you'll give up."
"Very good."
Hanakai Yuanqing looked frightened, and then he sat across from Jason: "It's hard to find the three fragments of 'Inawa's Arrow' props for a while, but I have one that is definitely 'Inawa's Arrow'
I would like an item worth three times the total value as a substitute - of course, as I said, I will send it to you right away."
Huakaiyuanqing's words made Jason smile.
Although the young man's performance just now seemed exaggerated, it will undoubtedly make people feel good.
This is even more true with the current method of ‘excessive’ gifting.
No one dislikes a ‘generous’ collaborator.
Jason is no exception.
"OK."
Jason smiled and nodded.
"Please wait a moment."
"I'll be back as soon as I go."
Huakaiyuan Qing stood up, finished speaking seriously, and walked outside.
Jason withdrew his gaze and looked at Miss Saakura aside.
From the very beginning, Miss Saakura looked at Tongshou Temple curiously.
"I came to the temple when I was a child."
"It was just a very young child."
“This is the first time I’ve come here since I grew up.”
"Can I get in here?"
Miss Saakura pointed in the direction of the main hall.
"Not for now."
"There is a master who is giving lunch lessons."
Jason shook his head.
Although the old monk of Tongshou Temple used [Silent Technique] to isolate the sound of chanting scriptures, in Jason's perception, the other party still existed.
"Is that so?"
Miss Saakura was a little disappointed, but her attention was immediately attracted by the rooms on the left and right.
A bit like a curious child.
Jason commented in his heart.
But precisely because of this, Jason became more and more curious.
"Where did you meet Kaikai Yinqing?"
Jason asked.
"He took the initiative to find me."
"He said he was very interested in my fists after watching the video of the show that day."
"Then he introduced me to the 'King of Fighters-King of Fighters Tournament' and asked me if I would like to participate."
"I felt very good, so I agreed to participate."
Miss Saakura looked like she was taking it for granted.
This made Jason frown
"Do you really know about the 'King of Fighters-King of Fighters Tournament'?"
Jason asked.
"certainly!"
"Mr. Hanakain Haru explained it in detail."
"Three people form a group until they defeat the opponent's three people, or until three of their own are defeated in a fighting match."
"There are four divisions ABCD, each with 8 teams, for a total of 32 teams."
"In addition to these 32 teams, this year's 'King of Fighters-King of Fighters Competition' also has two non-card teams - this is specially designed for those teams that do not have invitation letters."
"We have an invitation letter, so we advance directly to the knockout rounds."
Saakura nodded and said immediately.
"What else?"
Jason continued to ask.
"what else?"
Saakura looked innocent and didn't know why.
"Danger!"
"Do you know the dangers?"
Jason asked in a deep voice.
As a 'foodie', he doesn't want anything to happen to his foodie friends in this dungeon world.
"Know!"
"Mr. Hanakain Haru told me this."
"I will show up at the end, and at the same time, I can give up at any time."
"It's in the contract - it's what I asked for."
Saakura looked like I was very smart.
Jason looked at Saakura, and finally shook his head.
The appearance of the other party had already told him that the other party would definitely step onto the ring out of curiosity.
And once on the stage...
Danger is inevitable.
Victory or defeat is decided in an instant!
Life and death are also in an instant!
It is very likely that Saakura was killed without even being able to cry out for mercy.
Jason definitely didn't want to see this.
So, Jason sighed and stood up.
"Hit me."
Jason said this.
"What?"
Saakura was stunned for a moment, and her face became naive again.
"I said punch me with all your strength."
Jason repeated, and then explained.
"As a teammate, I at least need to know your strength."
"This is a good thing for you and for me."
"Oh, oh, I understand."
Miss Saakura immediately stood up and took a boxing stance.
Then--
Bang!
He punched Jason in the chest.
Amidst the fairly heavy muffled sound, Jason remained motionless, but Miss Saakura kept backing away and waving her hands.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
"Jason are you made of steel?"
"Why does it hurt so much?"
Miss Saakura shouted again and again.
“Not enough!”
"If you become my teammate like this, you will only drag me down."
"so……"
"etc!"
Before Jason could finish his words, he was interrupted by Miss Saakura. This naive girl who had been crying out in pain and shaking her palms a moment ago suddenly became serious at this time.
No!
Not serious!
But the style of painting has changed!
It's like changing from a funny comic to a strong comic.
It's like it was IS one moment and JOJO the next moment.
A terrifying aura gushed out from Miss Saakura's body, making even Jason look at her with suspicion.
"This is?"
Jason narrowed his eyes.
At that moment, he felt an aura similar to that of Arras.
Not style.
It's the essence.
They are all strong!
"I just wasn't serious!"
"I'm serious this time!"
Miss Saakura said, raising her right hand.
At the same time, Miss Sakura's messy blond hair stood up on her forehead, especially the two longest blond hairs near her twin ponytails. When they stood up, they looked like two antennas.
Stab, sting.
The wind blew around Miss Saakura.
The sound it made was like the sound of electric current beating.
The serious-faced girl Sasakura took a deep breath and punched out.
"Seriously right straight punch!"
Woo!
The punch came out with a roaring wind.
Jason's narrowed eyes flashed with light.
This punch!
He needs to take it seriously!
Buzz!
The muscles of the whole body suddenly became far harder than steel under the stimulation of the breathing of [War Pattern, Prussia, Gryphon, and Shadow Strengthening Technique].
Jason had never said anything about fighting back before.
Therefore, he had to use his body to bear the punch from Miss Saakura.
It will definitely hurt.
However, Jason will not go back on his words.
The strong wind brought by the fist was already blowing towards my face.
Jason has already felt the power clearly.
But, the next moment——
The fist just stopped in mid-air.
All the hair that stood up on Miss Shacang's head was drooped down, and her whole body was even more shaky and shaky.
"What's wrong?"
Jason was startled.
"I, I'm... hungry."
"I have no strength left."
Miss Saakura held her belly and said with tears in her eyes.
…
The flowers bloomed in the courtyard and she returned to the "Tongshou Temple" holding the box in her hand.
Before entering the courtyard, I heard Miss Saakura's happy shouts.
“Delicious! Delicious!”
“This is really delicious!”
“This is not bad either!”
Hanakain Haru walked into the temple and saw Miss Sakura holding a bowl of ramen on the only stone table and five chicken skewers in her hand, eating with big mouthfuls.
A mouthful of noodles, a mouthful of skewers, and a mouthful of soup.
There were already ten empty bowls on the ground.
However, this is only next to Miss Saakura.
Jason was even more exaggerated.
There are three stacks of bowls that can no longer be counted in detail.
Because, where he fell, he was a head taller than anyone else.
What's more, this isn't the end.
"Here, how much did you eat?"
Huakai Yuanqing blinked.
As an outstanding talent of the Hanakaiyuan family, it is not that Hanakaiyuan Haru has never seen people who can eat, but the likes of Xiang Jason and Saakura are very rare, let alone seeing two at one time.
"Please give way!"
"Please give way!"
The voice coming from behind made Hua Kaiyuan Qing immediately move two steps to the side.
I saw a few young guys running from a distance carrying food boxes.
After rushing into the temple, I took out bowl after bowl of ramen from the food box.
Guys are fast enough.
Will eat at the same speed as Yasukura.
Comparable to Jason?
Too far gone.
Huakai Yuanqing watched blankly as the guys continued running five times before ending.
Don't get me wrong.
It's not that Jason is full.
But...there is no more noodles.
The noodles prepared by the ramen restaurant are sold out.
So the meal had to end.
"Thank you for your patronage, the total is 1024 yuan."
Kojiro, the current owner of the ramen shop at the intersection of Toshoucho and Jiro's son, said with a smile.
Jason didn't hesitate, took out some money and gave it to the other party.
He won't default on his debt.
As for Saakura’s share?
He said he was going to treat you.
"I'll treat you next time."
Miss Saakura said embarrassedly.
"Well, okay."
Jason didn't refuse.
How to increase friendship between foodies?
Of course, you treat me to a meal of skewers, and I treat you to a meal of crayfish.
The more you eat, the more you become a confidant.
“The appetite of both of you is really eye-opening.”
Hanakaiin Haru came over after Kojiro left. As he spoke, he put the box in his hand in front of Jason.
"This is the compensation promised to you."
"Please check it."
Huakai Yuanqing said.
Jason's nose twitched.
Suddenly, his stomach, which had just eaten a hundred bowls of ramen, roared with hunger again.
