The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1081: Before the Big Competition!

Hanakaiin Haru returned to his own little courtyard.

Then, he was dumbfounded.

Upon hearing the cryptic words of Hanakaiin Ra, Hanakaiin Haru had made numerous preparations, but he had never imagined he would encounter the scene before him—a team of 30 servants, each with a numb expression from shock, eyes vacant and lifeless, simply operating mechanically, placing dish after dish on the round table.

At the round table, Jason and Miss Sagaraso ate like wild beasts.

The afterimages left by their chopsticks made Hanakaiin Haru wonder if the two had already become great swordsmen.

Every chopstick placement was like the clash of swords.

It very much resembled a life-and-death struggle.

But, there was no tension in the air.

On the contrary, it was harmonious.

For each dish, Jason and Miss Sagaraso shared it evenly between them.

However, as time passed, Miss Sagaraso ate less and less.

Jason?

He continued to eat with a healthy appetite.

Quickly, all of Miss Sagaraso’s portions were consumed by Jason.

And then another half hour passed.

"Burp~"

Burping with satisfaction, Miss Sagaraso stood up contentedly.

"I’m so full! So full!"

"I haven’t eaten such delicious food in a long time!"

With these words, Miss Sagaraso quickly walked towards everyone.

Miss Sagaraso, having swallowed portions fit for a hundred people, walked as usual, with no stiffness whatsoever.

Especially her lower abdomen, which remained unusually flat.

"This, this?"

Ryosuke and Urashima were completely at a loss for words.

They had already encountered the Mystical Side, but the notion of consuming portions for a hundred people and still having a flat stomach was beyond their imagination.

The most critical point: where did the food go?

It couldn’t have just disappeared into thin air, could it?

More critically, Jason was still eating.

Was it really true that the more you eat, the more powerful you became?

Looking at Jason, who was still eating, they were utterly at a loss for words.

Because, up to this point, Jason was still eating.

Not only was there no slowing down in a meaningful sense, but he also seemed to show no signs of satisfaction.

A bottomless pit, perhaps?

This thought arose in everyone’s mind.

Among all the people, Hanakaiin Haru was the first to snap back to reality.

He looked at Jason with a smile.

What’s the big deal about eating?

The important thing was that he had found two reliable partners.

Although... they were a bit unusual.

Recalling his father’s assessment, the corners of Hanakaiin Haru’s lips twitched involuntarily.

Was his father simply saying ’extraordinary eaters’?

Very tactful.

Very gentle.

Very much his father’s style.

But the more it was like this, the more he wanted to reclaim for his father what had been lost.

While reflecting, Hanakaiin Haru thought and his gaze landed on Miss Sagaraso.

The cheerful girl was already his teammate now.

And breaking into the group stages from the wild card round wasn’t easy.

Even though he was very confident in his teammates, they still needed to be strengthened.

Thus, naturally, the young member of the Hanakaiin Family said—

"Miss Sagaraso, would you like to gain a deeper understanding of the ’Inside World’?

"In terms of knowledge and skills."

"Is that possible?"

Miss Sagaraso, who had just satisfied her hunger, had her eyes light up once again.

"Some techniques of the Hanakaiin Family can’t be taught to you, but techniques other than the Hanakaiin Family’s are not an issue; rest assured, there are many such techniques in Hanakaiin Family’s library,"

Hanakaiin Haru said with a smile.

"That’s wonderful!"

Miss Sagaraso cheered joyfully.

Seeing the sincere girl, Hanakaiin Haru’s mood also became uplifting.

Then, the young member of the Hanakaiin Family turned to the others.

"Mr. Ryosuke, Mr. Urashima, and Miss Hui Lijing, if you wish, you can also study with Miss Sagaraso."

Hanakaiin Haru extended the invitation.

This was quite normal.

The family’s upbringing made it clear to Hanakaiin Haru that at any time, it was necessary to ally with those who could become part of one’s own camp.

Only those who are truly part of one’s camp are worth investing in.

As for those outside the camp?

If not enemies, strive to win them over. free𝑤ebnovel.com

If they are enemies, still try to win them over.

But never lose sight of what is truly important!

One’s own side is always the most important.

But to Hanakaiin Haru’s surprise, Hui Lijing shook her head.

"I’ve decided to learn from Jason."

The female detective stated bluntly.

"Jason?"

"An excellent choice!"

Hanakaiin Haru nodded earnestly.

It wasn’t lip service.

Hanakaiin Haru recognized Jason’s qualities, not just in terms of strength, but also in wisdom and insight.

With Jason’s guidance, Hui Lijing’s choice was unquestionable.

However, contrary to Hanakaiin Haru’s expectations, Ryosuke and Urashima also shook their heads.

"I am very grateful for your offer."

"But for now, I have no plans in that regard."

Ryosuke bowed deeply as he spoke.

Ryosuke had his own plans.

Layers of clues and dense obstacles were all pointing to ’Blossom Cherry’.

Although his crisis was temporarily resolved, it was not forever.

Troubles would still come his way.

Before troubles could find him, he needed to resolve them.

It was a pipe dream to think of resolving such issues with his current abilities.

Therefore, he must strengthen himself.

Learning ’mystic knowledge’ from Hanakaiin Haru would be an excellent opportunity.

But he had already planned out his own path.

A plan made on the premise of not troubling others.

He...

Would join ’Blossom Cherry’!
