Well-dressed and meticulously groomed with her hair walked in from outside the temple.

The steps seem leisurely, but the distance between the steps is exactly the same, it looks like it has been specially measured, and with a smile, it looks very elegant.

Several attendants stopped at the foot of the steps of the 'Tong Shou Temple', bowed to the back of the flower blossom courtyard, and then scattered to stand.

This is both a sign of respect for the 'Tong Shouji' and a sign of trust in Jason.

They believed that Hanakaiin Haru would not be in danger in the 'Tong Shou Temple'.

Of course, outside of the 'Tong Shou Temple', they need to do their duty.

"Your Excellency Jason."

Walking into the courtyard, the flowers bloomed into the courtyard, walked straight up to Jason, and bowed very politely.

However, Jason's gaze stayed on Hua Kaiyuanqing's body, and then turned to the person on the side.

Even though Bang has a double ponytail, she still has some sloppy blonde hair, emerald green eyes, and healthy wheat-colored skin, which is the same Sakura girl she saw with Jason in the 'Gourmet Bunchi' Big Stomach King Competition.

"Jason!"

When this somewhat silly, grinning girl saw Jason's acquaintance, she immediately waved her hand, and then trotted over.

"Jason, why are you here?"

"Are you a monk?"

"Is that the companion that Mr. Hanakaiin said before?"

The grinning girl asked questions again and again, with a curious face.

"I've been living here for the past few days."

"Not a monk."

"If it's the 'King of Fighters - The King of Fighters Tournament', I will indeed team up with Hanakai Yuanqing."

Jason was quite patient with a friend who could eat and give him a burger, and after answering the simple girl's questions one by one, he looked at Hua Kaiyuan Qing again.

He needs an accurate answer from the other party.

Why is Sakura girl here?

"Sakura is the third companion I've found."

"She's going to team up with us to complete the 'King of Fighters – The King of Fighters Tournament.'"

Hua Kaiyuan Qing replied very seriously.

Jason looked at Sakura girl.

The grinning girl immediately showed a simple smile: her mouth was cracked, and a tiger tooth was exposed.

"Martial arts will give me a better body than fitness!"

"For the ideal body...... Come on! ”

Sakura gives a reason that makes Jason completely confused.

Participating in the 'King of Fighters - The King of Fighters Tournament' just to lose weight?

What the heck?

Jason looked at the big girl in amazement.

"I've already informed Sakura of the danger this time, and I've given me compensation and compensation accordingly—and this time, I'm also going to renegotiate with you about the previous reward."

"As you can see, Sakura became one of us only because I really couldn't find someone to be comfortable with, and she had to show up; So, this time, Lord Jason, you will definitely shoulder more. ”

"Therefore, on the basis of the original reward promised to you, I will give you another item similar to the fragment of the 'Arrow of Rice and Rice' as compensation, and I will pay it now, what do you think?"

Hua Kaiyuan Qing said and bowed.

There is no doubt that it is quite polite to bloom in the courtyard.

There was no short notice at the start of the game.

Instead, they were notified in advance and brought gifts.

That didn't stop Jason from thinking, though.

The difficulties faced by Hua Kaiyuan Qing are even more troublesome than expected.

Otherwise, the yarn warehouse that is still a student will not be dragged into the water.

Naturally, he will shoulder more battles, as the other side says.

And, without the replacement of redundant teammates, failures and dangers begin to proliferate.

So......

"Three!"

Jason quoted a price.

Hearing this offer, Hua Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately laughed.

"Very fair price."

Hua Kaiyuan Qing said.

Not a mockery, but a heartfelt word.

Hua Kaiyuan Qing's heart that she had been carrying was directly put down.

The young onmyoji of the Blossom House is not worried about Jason's offer, or the lion's mouth wide open, what he is most worried about is that Jason will give up the game.

Once Jason gives up, he's really finished.

Although pretentious, Hua Kaiyuan Qing is not proud enough to think that he can 1v3.

Especially among those people there are also his 'acquaintances'.

Moreover, those 'acquaintances' understood him better than he thought.

If it weren't for the search for his teammates in the 'King of Fighters Tournament' this time, he wouldn't have noticed that these bastard guys had infiltrated him so deeply.

Even some of the martial artists who knew him well had these bastards arranged.

Thankfully, I accidentally ran into the yarn silo.

Otherwise, he would have to be humiliated this time and replaced with one of his own retinue.

When I thought of that situation, Hua Kaiyuan Qing was more uncomfortable than dead.

Fortunately!

Didn't happen!

Lucky to meet Sakura!

Jason didn't give up either!

Call!

Hua Kaiyuan Qing didn't hide it, and just let out a long breath in front of Jason and Sakura.

"I'm so worried you'll give up."

"Great."

Hua Kaiyuan Qing looked apprehensive, and then, he sat down opposite Jason: "The three items of the 'Arrow of Rice and Arrow' are not easy to find for a while, but I have one item that is definitely three times the value of the 'Arrow of Rice and Arrow', and I hope it can be used as a substitute - of course, as I said, it will be sent to you soon." ”

Hua Kaiyuanqing's words made Jason smile.

Although the young man's performance just now has an exaggerated appearance, it will undoubtedly make people feel good.

This is even more true of this 'excess' gifting now.

No one would hate a 'generous' collaborator.

Jason is no exception.

"Okay."

Jason smiled and nodded.

"Please wait."

"I'll go back as soon as I go."

Hua Kaiyuan Qing stood up, finished speaking, and walked outside.

Jason withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl on the side.

From the beginning, the girl Sakura looked at the temple curiously.

"I used to visit the temple when I was a child."

"It was just when I was very young."

"When I grew up, it was the first time I came."

"Can I get in here?"

The girl pointed in the direction of the main hall.

"Not yet."

"There's a master doing a lunch class."

Jason shook his head.

Although the old monk of Tong Shouji used the [Mute Technique] to isolate the sound of chanting scriptures, in Jason's perception, the other party still existed.

"Is that so?"

The girl was a little disappointed, but she was immediately attracted by the left and right wings.

It's kind of like a curious child.

Jason commented from the bottom of his heart.

But because of this, Jason became more and more curious.

"Where did you meet the blossoming courtyard?"

Jason asked.

"He took the initiative to find me."

"I said that I watched the video of the day at 'Food Ichiban', and I was very interested in my fist."

"Then, he introduced me to the 'King of Fighters – The King of Fighters Tournament' and asked me if I would like to compete."

"I felt good, so I agreed to participate."

Sakura girl looks like she takes it for granted.

This made Jason frown

"Do you really know the King of Fighters – The King of Fighters Tournament?"

Jason asked.

"Of course!"

"Mr. Hua Kaiyuan Qing has explained in detail."

"Three people in a group until you defeat the three opposing players, or your own three are defeated."

"There are four divisions of ABCD, with 8 teams in each division, for a total of 32 teams."

"In addition to these 32 teams, this year's 'King of Fighters – The King of Fighters Tournament' also has two out-of-card teams – this is for those teams who don't have an invitation."

"We had the invitations, so we qualified straight to the knockout rounds."

Sakura nodded and said immediately.

"What else?"

Jason continued.

"What else?"

Sakura looked silly 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 the foodie friends he met in this dungeon world.

"Yes!"

"Mr. Hua Kaiyuan Qing told me this."

'I'll play at the end and at the same time, I can give up at any time.

"It's written in the contract — I ask for it."

Sakura has a very witty look.

Jason looked at the sakura and, eventually, shook his head.

The other party's appearance had already told him that the other party would definitely enter the ring because of curiosity.

And once in the ring......

Danger is inevitable.

Victory or defeat is instantaneous!

Life and death are also instantaneous!

It is likely that Sakura couldn't even shout for mercy, so he was killed.

Jason definitely didn't want to see that.

So, Jason sighed and stood up.

"Hit me."

Jason said.

"What?"

Sakura was stunned for a moment, and his face became silly again.

"I said punch me with all your might."

Jason repeated, and then, explained.

"As a teammate, I need to at least know what you're capable of."

"It's good for you and for me."

"Oh, oh, got it."

Sakura immediately stood up and took a boxing pose.

And then—

Bang!

A punch hit Jason in the chest.

In the rather heavy muffled sound, Jason didn't move, but the girl in Sakura retreated again and again, still shaking her hands.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

"Jason, are you made of steel?"

"Why does it hurt so much?"

The girl shouted again and again.

"Not enough to see!"

"You're just going to drag me down if you're my teammate like this."

"So ......"

"Wait!"

Before Jason's words were finished, he was interrupted by the girl Sakura, who kept shouting pain and shaking her palms at the last moment, and suddenly became serious at this time.

No!

Not seriously!

But the style of painting has changed!

It's like changing from a comic to a strong manga.

It's like the last moment it's IS, and the next moment it's JOJO.

A terrifying aura poured out of the Sakura girl, making Jason look sideways.

"What is this?"

Jason narrowed his eyes.

In the moment just now, he felt an aura similar to that of Arras.

Not style.

It's the essence.

They are all strong!

"I wasn't serious just now!"

"This time I'm serious!"

Sakura said, raising her right hand.

At the same time, the messy blonde hair on the front of the Sakura girl's forehead also stood up, especially the two longest blonde hairs near the double ponytail, which stood up like two antennas.

Thorn, sting.

The wind blew around the girl Sakura.

It made a sound that seemed to be the beating of electricity.

The serious-looking Sakura girl took a deep breath and punched out.

"Serious right straight punch!"

Woo!

Punch out, with a howling wind.

Jason's narrowed eyes flashed with light.

This punch!

He needs to take it seriously!

Airplanes!

The muscles of the whole body are in the [War Paints. Pruth. Griffin. Under the stimulation of the breath of the Shadow Forging Technique, it suddenly became far harder than steel.

Jason hadn't said he was going to fight back before.

Therefore, he had to use his body to withstand a punch from Sakura-san.

It will definitely hurt.

However, Jason will not regret it.

The wind brought by the fist is already blowing in the face.

Jason already felt the force more clearly.

But, the next moment—

The fist just stopped in mid-air.

The hair that stood up to the girl was all drooping, and the whole person was even more sluggish and crumbling.

"What's wrong?"

Jason was stunned.

"I, I...... Hungry. ”

"I don't have the strength anymore."

The girl said with tears in her eyes.

……

The flowers bloomed and the courtyard was clear, and he returned to the 'Tong Shou Temple' with the box in his hand.

Before entering the courtyard, I heard the happy shouts of the girl Sakura.

"Delicious! Delicious! ”

"This one is really delicious!"

"That's not bad either!"

When Hanakaiin Haru walked into the temple, he saw that on the only stone table, the girl was holding a bowl of ramen and five chicken skewers in her hand, eating it in a big gulp.

A bite of noodles, a skewer, and a sip of soup.

There were already ten empty bowls on the floor.

However, this is only next to the girl Sakura.

On Jason's side, it's even more exaggerated.

The three stacks of bowls are no longer possible to count in detail.

Because, when they fall there, they are a head taller than all men.

What's more, it doesn't end there.

"How much is this?"

Hua Kaiyuan blinked.

As an outstanding talent of the Huakaiyuan family, it is not that Huakaiyuan Qing has never seen people who can eat, but it is very rare to see people like Jason and Sakura, let alone see two at a time.

"Please let me!"

"Please let me!"

The voice from behind him made Hua Kaiyuan Qing immediately move two steps to the side.

I saw a few young men running from a distance carrying food boxes.

After rushing into the temple, bowls of ramen were brought out of the food box.

The guys are fast enough.

It will be eaten at the same speed as the yarn warehouse.

Can it be compared to Jason?

It's too far off.

Hua Kaiyuan watched sluggishly as the guys continued to run for five trips before it ended.

Don't get me wrong.

It's not that Jason is full.

But...... The face is gone.

The noodles prepared by the ramen restaurant are sold out.

So much so that the meal had to end.

"Thank you for your patronage, a total of 1024 yuan."

The current owner of the ramen shop at the entrance of the town of Tong Shoucho, Jiro's son, Kojiro said with a smile.

Jason didn't hesitate and took out some money and gave it to the other party.

He's not going to pay his bills.

As for the silo's share?

He said it, and he had a treat.

"I'll treat you next time."

Miss Sakura said embarrassedly.

"yes, okay."

Jason didn't refuse.

How do you increase friendship between foodies?

Naturally, you treat me to a skewer, and I treat you to a crayfish.

When you eat too much, you become a confidant.

"The amount of food they eat is really eye-opening."

Hanakaiin Haru came over after Kojiro left, and as he spoke, he put the box in his hand in front of Jason.

"This is the compensation promised to you."

"Please check."

Hua Kaiyuan said.

Jason's nose twitched.

Suddenly, the stomach that had just eaten a hundred bowls of ramen roared with hunger again.

Goo, goo.

He couldn't wait to open the box.

Then, my eyes lit up.
