The much-anticipated banquet started in the courtyard where the flowers were blooming and the sun was shining brightly.
From the beginning of the trial of "taking over the master's house", the other courtyards of Hanakai-in have been divided into five branches: Hanakai-in Qing, Hanakai-in Zhi, Hanakai-in Tree, Hanakai-in Luo and Hanakai-in Toru.
The five parties do not disturb each other.
Even the servants wouldn't say hello when they met.
This is the rule.
Although it is not stated explicitly, it has been passed down from the beginning.
The courtyard is divided, except for the courtyard in the middle where Kaikai Intetsu lives, and they occupy their respective corners in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
The corner where Huakaiyuanqing is located is on the east side.
At this time, Master Tongshouji, Hui Lijing, Ga Tai, Ryosuke, and Urashima, who were all full and satisfied, were looking at the round table in the middle of the courtyard with wide eyes.
Jason and Miss Saakura were sitting on both sides of the round table, crazily stuffing food into their mouths.
The mouth looks like there is no chewing at all, but in fact there are constant rattling sounds.
The hands holding the chopsticks were so fast that they brought up layers of phantoms.
In an instant, all that was left of the fish was its bones.
The lamb leg was swallowed one by one, not even the bones were left.
When the large piece of beef was served on the whole plate, only the plate was left.
Everyone is already mentally prepared for Jason.
After all, everyone knows that Jason can eat.
But Miss Saakura?
Everyone is really not prepared.
How could a little girl eat so well?
What's more important is...
1+1>2!
One Jason is already too much to do.
Plus the Sasakura girl?
Beside the two of them, a dozen servants were bringing food to them one after another.
Every servant was panting, with disbelief and exhaustion on their faces.
It’s been two hours!
From the beginning of the banquet, they have been serving dishes.
Eight people from the beginning.
Two people till now.
Not only was there no relaxation, but I was getting more and more tired.
Because these two people are really exaggerated.
One person can eat more than ten people.
It's not a feeling.
But fact.
Soon, more servants poured into the branch and joined the queue for delivering meals.
And in the back kitchen, it was even more crowded.
"Everyone, we have welcomed two special guests."
"This is related to the face of our Huakaiyuan family."
"So, there is no room for error."
"Everyone, please work hard!"
The chef who was leaning over the Qing Restaurant in the Flower Garden said solemnly.
"yes!"
All the helpers answered loudly.
Then, with a wave of the chef's hand, everyone got busy.
Even the curious sous chef came over and asked while peeling potatoes.
"Is it a demon?"
The sous chef's voice was very low.
Although monsters are not a taboo in the Hanakaiyuan family, they still remain.
After all, the races are different.
"no."
"It should be... no?"
"It looks quite human."
The chef answered very definitely at first, and then became less sure.
Jason, Miss Saakura does look like a human being.
But, can humans eat so much?
Especially the girl Sasakura who looks soft and weak.
Moreover, demons are good at changing.
It's hard to tell whether the two are human or not.
However, this chef is certain of one thing.
That is
Both of them are guests of Master Qing.
The most noble kind.
"Get to work!"
"We are just servants."
"You have to be conscious of being a servant."
The chef said this.
The sous chef nodded immediately, and then worked harder.
With the two of them taking the lead, the food went faster and faster.
Seeing more food being brought, Master Tongshouji, Hui Lijing, He Tai, Ryosuke, Urashima and others breathed a sigh of relief.
You should be full now, right?
Several people thought of it.
But immediately, several people's eyes widened again.
Because food disappears faster than before.
It seemed like it was a ‘warm-up match’ before.
Now the real game begins.
"I hope you won't be surprised when the flowers bloom and Yuanqing comes back."
The female detective whispered.
"With the financial resources of the Hanakaiyuan family, it is absolutely impossible, but...isn't this too delicious?"
Ryousuke, who had treated Jason before, was trembling when he spoke.
Because, he found that Jason actually showed mercy.
Did Jason not even warm up before?
It really is a meal that feeds me a month's... no, a year's salary.
After making an assessment, the middle-aged police detective felt desperate.
Very simple.
After being rescued by Jason this morning, he once again thought of inviting Jason to dinner.
But now?
Ryousuke was very disappointed.
In order to thank Jason, he expressed his sincere gratitude.
Naturally, I hope Jason is well fed.
However, this meal is his annual salary.
Moreover, according to the current trend, his one-year salary is not enough.
Despair began to spread.
Because Urashima thought the same way after he was rescued.
As an actual spender, he has seen Jason's appetite.
He also thought he understood.
But what about actually?
It's so surprising.
Among all the people, the female detective and the wandering Onmyoji were the calmer ones.
For the female detective, it is shocking that Jason can eat so much, but if Jason can eat, it is natural and easy to accept.
It's an inexplicable trust.
From every critical moment Jason appears.
The wandering Onmyoji is much simpler.
Isn’t it normal for monsters to eat them?
What's more, it's a big demon.
As for the old monk Tongshou Temple?
Then I thought of the legend of an ancient country passed down in the temple.
It was a scroll with very ominous language.
The remaining patterns are even more broken.
Most of it is left to guesswork.
But the descriptions of some places are quite detailed.
Son of the Dragon.
Swallow the world.
"Does Jason have that kind of blood?"
"Unlikely?"
The old monk Tongshou Temple thought so.
However, when he saw Jason pick up a roasted suckling pig, open his mouth and put the whole roasted suckling pig into his mouth, and then pick up two more roasted suckling pigs, this idea was shaken involuntarily.
.
"Maybe...it's not impossible."
The old monk Tongshou Temple thought and clasped his hands together.
Then, the old monk looked outside the courtyard.
Just now, after they all expressed that they were full, Huakai Yuanqing signaled that she wanted to leave temporarily.
As for where to go?
Everyone knows it.
The promised invitation to the ‘King of Fighters Tournament’ was actually given to someone else.
No one will remain indifferent.
The flowers are blooming and the courtyard is sunny. Naturally, this is no exception.
In fact, Huakai Yuanqing has been suppressing her anger.
Huakai Yuanqing is not an idiot. Naturally, she knows very well why such a situation occurs.
It’s nothing more than the current ‘owner’ taking advantage of a loophole in the rules.
In the Huakaiyuan family, everyone must obey the rule of "only those who use their talents".
And most of the time such rules are fair.
Of course, just most of them.
Huakaiyuan Qing knows this very well.
It was also because Huakai Yuanqing was going to ask questions.
However, before he could truly leave his branch, he was stopped by a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was wearing black casual clothes, standing by the roadside, quietly looking at the night sky.
When Huakai Yuanqing came over, the middle-aged man lowered his head and showed a fairly gentle smile.
Obviously, the middle-aged man in front of me is waiting for the flowers to bloom and the garden to clear up.
Huakaiyuan Qing looked at the middle-aged man with a surprised look on his face, but he was very respectful.
"Father."
The flowers bloomed and Haru bowed.
"Qing, can you walk with me?"
Huakaiyuan De asked softly.
"certainly."
Kaikai Yuanqing answered immediately.
Then, he followed his father and walked towards the garden behind the courtyard.
The garden in the villa is not big, but it has everything you need.
Huakai Yuande walked to the completely wooden pavilion, and after the servants lit the lantern in the pavilion, hung it up, and raised his hand to signal the servants to leave, he sat on the stool.
Huakaiyuan Qing was sitting opposite.
As Huakaiyuan Qing sat down, Huakaiyuan De did not speak immediately.
But with a little silence.
After a full minute, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke.
"Qing, sorry."
Huakaiyuan De bowed slightly to Huakaiyuan Qing.
Huakaiyuan Qing immediately stood up and avoided the direction of Huakaiyuan De's salute.
"Father!"
Huakai Yuanqing already had some suspicions in her heart, but she still raised her hand to support her father.
"Feel sorry."
Huakaiyuan De said again.
"I have no power to stop the master's decision. I received the notice, but that was the notice after the master had already made the decision."
"At that time, I was powerless to prevent the situation from happening. As a father, I was derelict in my duties. As the head of the branch family, I was also derelict in my duties."
"I am a failure."
"Ever since I failed in the competition for the 'Master's House', everything has become your responsibility."
"I never helped you."
"I have become a burden to you. I have promised to abide by my promise."
"Sorry."
Apologize once again, and this time Huakai Yuande is truly humble.
Hanakai Yuanqing, who had already guessed the general idea just now, wanted to stop it, but was restrained by invisible forces.
He could only watch helplessly as the flowers bloomed and Yuande bowed to him.
And when Huakai Yuande raised his body, the binding force on Huakai Yuanqing's body suddenly dissipated.
"Father!"
Huakai Yuanqing immediately fell to her knees, her head pressed against the floor.
As a son, the education Huakai Yuanqing received since childhood made it impossible for him to accept such a thing.
His father never sorry for him.
I have never been short of food and clothing since I was a child.
Receive various elite educations.
Although it was very hard, I also saw the world that ordinary people cannot see.
Moreover, in such a world, his father acted as an "umbrella" to protect him from the wind and rain, so that he did not suffer any harm.
Is there anything else you are not satisfied with?
Kaikai Yuanqing thought it was enough.
As for the injustice he suffered?
Those grievances and the grievances his father suffered.
Compare it with the clansmen in separate families.
What does it matter?
What's more, he hasn't completely lost the opportunity yet.
He also has the right to challenge as a wild card!
Thinking of this, Huakaiyuan Qing took a deep breath.
"Please rest assured."
"I will help our family become a homeowner."
"must!"
Huakai Yuanqing said firmly.
Huakai Yuande smiled and helped his son up.
“It’s important to enter the owner’s home.”
"Safety is more important."
"I just hope you can live well."
Huakaiyuan De warned.
"Don't worry, Father."
"I'm sure this time!"
"My two partners are very reliable. Even if we compete for the right to participate in the non-card team, the final championship will definitely be ours."
Huakai Yuanqing said confidently.
Huakaiyuan De's face became a little strange.
"What's wrong, father?"
Huakai Yuanqing looked at her father and asked curiously.
"nothing."
"Your two teammates are special."
"Well, special."
Huakai Yuande, who had obviously received some news, seemed a little confused about what adjectives to use.
special?
Qingyuan was startled when the flowers bloomed.
It is not surprising at all that his father knows about Jason, Miss Sakura, and Hanakai Yuanqing.
The power he is using now still belongs to the branch family.
In other words, it is his father's power.
Therefore, his father should know about his actions.
Just this kind of evaluation?
What happened?
Flowers blooming and Yuan Qing thought.
"No need to think too much, just do what you want."
"I can't give you more."
"But, I support you."
"Go entertain your friends."
Huakaiyuan De said and waved his hand.
"Okay, Father."
Huakai Yuanqing bowed and left directly.
Huakai Yuande watched his son leave.
It wasn't until Huakaiyuan Qing's figure disappeared that Huakaiyuan De left the garden with a sigh.
This place is prepared for people who divide their families and compete for the inheritance rights of the 'main family'.
Although he is Huakai Yuanqing's father and the head of a branch of the family, he is not qualified to stay here.
This is the rule of the Huakaiyuan family.
Flowers bloom in the courtyard, and you always abide by it.
And as a son, the flowers bloom and the courtyard clears.
Also willing to comply.
Without violating his bottom line.
"Master's house, master's house."
Huakai Yuanqing gritted her teeth and spoke softly, the light in her eyes making people shudder.
He has too many ideas now.
But no matter what kind of idea he has, he needs to truly take over the 'master's house'.
What if it fails?
Naturally, there is no need to mention anything.
Let Huakai Yuanqing take revenge on others under the premise of failure?
terribly sorry.
For Huakai Yuanqing, this was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
But some people are different.
"Hi, Brother Qing."
Huakaiyuan Luo waved his arms at Huakaiyuan Qing with a very innocent smile.
Hanakaiyuan Qingyi frowned, not wanting to talk to him at all, so he just planned to go around.
Huakaiyuan Qing has always been wary of Huakaiyuan Luo.
Because he knew what kind of person he was underneath that smiling face.
Not just killing!
There is also a calculation!
He suspected that his previous encounter and the layout at the foot of the mountain were designed by Huakaiyuan Luo.
Therefore, he didn't want to pay attention to the other party.
However, Huakai Yuanqing didn't want to pay attention to Huakai Yuanluo, but Huakai Yuanluo blocked Huakai Yuanqing's path.
"Get out of the way."
Huakaiyuan Qing said coldly.
"Oh, that's really sad."
"Where's the promised brotherhood?"
"Brother Qing, you really let me down. I originally planned to tell you..."
Hanakaiyuan Luola spoke in a longer tone, but Hanakaiyuan Qing was not fooled at all, and bypassed the other party again, intending to return to his own branch.
"Brother Qing, let's cooperate!"
Huakaiyuan Luo suddenly raised his voice.
The flowers are blooming and the courtyard is clear, but the steps never stop, only the words are transmitted
"I'm going to win!"
"I also want to win with dignity!"
"oh?"
Huakaiyuan Luo looked at Huakaiyuan Qing's back and spoke in a longer tone, and then said unhurriedly: "Then you have to go back quickly, your two partners are..."
"You took action?"
"If something happens to them, I won't let you go!"
Huakaiyuan Qing suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at Huakaiyuan Luo fiercely.
Then, without waiting for Huakai Yuanluo to speak, he quickly walked towards his own courtyard.
Only Huakaiyuan Luo stood there smiling and shaking his head.
“But it’s really edible!”
After he finished saying this slowly, he laughed again.
"It's really easy to bully an upright opponent like you."
