Sato, Director of the Special Operations Division of the 'Zero Division'.

With two teams that belong directly to him, he can also command other teams, and the level on the surface is already one level higher than that under the mountain.

What is the actual level?

It is more than three levels higher.

It's the kind of officer who has the right to command in the true sense of the word within 'Lesson Zero'.

The two action teams directly under his command are also the elite of the 'zero class'.

Whether it is equipment or funds, it is all tilted.

Therefore, a character like Sato is naturally the object of 'Hanakura' trying to woo him, and as far as Onodera knows, at that time, 'Hanakura' offered quite generous conditions in order to win over Sato.

Onodera remembers this very well.

But!

Why is the other party here?

Onodera was almost stunned.

Because, he thought of the blossom courtyard tree in the restaurant.

It's not just the mountain that is related to the blossoming garden tree.

Does Sato have it too?

At this moment, Onodera was eager to give himself a slap in the face.

Why should you choose this restaurant?

Why was Sato's name just called?

Why doesn't he stay in the toilet for a while?

Countless questions came to Onodera's mind.

But it's more about the deep-seated problem.

It's normal for Yamashita to have a connection with the blossoming garden tree.

The two sides are each taking what they need.

Sato has a connection with the blossom garden tree, and it is also normal.

From time to time, Sato's squad needs the help of the Onmyoji.

But when Yamashita and Sato are connected to the blossom garden tree, it's very abnormal.

It's as if two parallel lines are beginning to intersect.

Such a meeting that defies common sense makes Onodera's scalp tingle and his back cold.

He seemed to see a net.

A monster hidden in 'Hanakura'.

'Hua Sakura' is a monster hidden in the police, sucking the police's nutrients.

And this monster is sucking the nutrients of 'Flower Sakura'.

"Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp."

Inexplicably, Onodera thought of this sentence.

At the same time, I also thought about that phone number!

Does this number have anything to do with the blossom garden tree?

If anything, the blossom courtyard tree was even more terrifying than what he saw now.

If not, the situation of 'flower cherry' is even more worrying.

Because, the hidden monster is not one!

There are more monsters sucking the nutrients of 'Hanakura'!

But that's all for later.

Now what?

"I can even meet you here!"

"What a fate!"

"Would you like a drink in the evening?"

Onodera asked Sato, who was surprised in front of him, with a grin.

"Why are you here?"

Sato's face quickly returned to coldness, and there was a question in his eyes.

"Dinner, of course!"

"However, when I saw a guy I couldn't mess with, I quickly slipped away!"

"I advise you not to go in either!"

Onodera looked like he had palpitations.

"Who?"

Sato continued to ask, with a murderous look in his eyes.

The fists clenched involuntarily.

As long as Onodera dared to say the name, he struck a thunderous blow, and the result was Onodera - although he didn't want to make a move in such a 'public place', but compared to the fact that the matter was revealed, such a shot was really nothing!

As if Onodera hadn't seen such a murderous aura at all, he leaned in front of Sato and said in a low voice-

"'Juggernaut'!"

Juggernaut?!

Sato was stunned, and his clenched fists trembled involuntarily.

Not the name he had guessed.

But the name was enough to surprise him.

"Is that the one I know?"

Sato asked.

"Who else could there be?"

Onodera patted Sato on the shoulder as he spoke.

For this intimate action, Sato did not hesitate to slap Onodera's palm.

"You guy, you're always so cold, if it's okay, smile!"

With these words, Onodera walked towards the mouth of the alley.

"You should hurry up and go."

"If you get involved with a guy like that, you'll die."

Onodera said as he walked, looking kind.

However, only he knows that his palms are covered with sweat.

Sato's murderous aura, how could he not see it.

The moment he saw Sato, he already knew that if he couldn't give a satisfactory answer, he would die.

Therefore, he had to use an unexpected and reasonable answer to satisfy Sato.

And in the city in front of you, is there anything more suitable than Jason?

No!

Jason's fame, since the sinking of the 'Desperate', has reached an extreme.

The name of the 'Juggernaut', although there are still some people doubting.

But that hasn't stopped people from acknowledging Jason's prowess.

Therefore, Jason is the most suitable.

As for deception?

Lives are dying.

Onodera can't manage that much.

He was going to fool his eyes around first, and then find Jason.

One is to make amends.

borrowed the name of the other party, such reparation is necessary.

The second is cooperation.

The 'flower cherry blossoms' in front of me have long since changed.

He needed a reliable collaborator.

Or rather......

Seek refuge!

However, all of this needs to be done by getting out of here.

But just as Onodera was about to walk out of the alley, Sato's footsteps were heard behind him.

Step, step!

Clear and powerful!

Discovered?

Onodera's heart sank.

Almost subconsciously, Onodera wanted to speed up his pace and leave, but he held back.

Not only did he resist fleeing, but he also took the lead in turning around.

"Sato, what's wrong?"

Onodera asked with a surprised face.

Escape is impossible.

Once he escapes, his lies are self-defeating.

Taking the initiative may seem risky, but it can take the initiative.

It's worth the risk.

Although a person like Onodera is slippery and timid most of the time, when life is at stake, he can always burst out with great energy.

This is the attachment to 'life'.

Of course, it can also be said that it is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Whatever it is, Onodera is perfect at the moment.

At least that's what Onodera thinks.

Moreover, Sato didn't see anything either.

But the suspicion in Sato's heart did not diminish by one point.

He didn't believe that he would meet Jason by such a coincidence when he met the blossom yard tree in private here.

So......

Is Onodera lying to him?

With this in mind, Sato quickly recovered from the shock of hearing Jason's name.

He strode towards Onodera.

It's a temptation.

Looking at Onodera's surprised expression, Sato frowned.

Hit the spot.

It's very much in line with the current situation.

However, Sato still had doubts in his heart.

Therefore, he grabbed Onodera's arm.

"Let's go, I want to see that Sword Master!"

Sato said.

His eyes were fixed on Onodera.

Panic flashed in Onodera's eyes, and even if he tried his best to hide it, such panic still appeared irrepressibly.

Onodera knew this very well.

Therefore, he immediately said-

"Do you want to die?"

"If you want to die, you go!"

"Don't drag me along!"

Saying this, Onodera struggled violently.

Moreover, the voice is unconsciously raised.

It seems to be because of emotion, but in fact it is to save yourself.

He wanted to use his voice to attract the attention of others, so that Sato could throw a mouse.

Onodera knew very well that once he did return to the restaurant, he was dead.

So, this is his last self-help.

It has to be discovered.

"You let go of me!"

Onodera shouted in a louder voice.

However, before the words fell, Onodera suddenly realized that the voice he had just shouted had become inaudible.

And, more importantly, his body became paralyzed.

Can't move, can't speak.

Onodera was dragged to the restaurant.

"I would love to believe you."

"It's a pity, I believe in one sentence more-"

"Seeing is believing, hearing is false!"

Saying this, Sato still stared at Onodera.

And Onodera?

At this time, despair appeared in his eyes.

It's over!

I'm going to die!

Onodera wailed in his heart.

Looking at Onodera's appearance, a sneer appeared on the corner of Sato's mouth.

Really!

You're lying to me!

It should be that after seeing the blossoming courtyard tree, I was about to escape, but I happened to be blocked!

Thinking of this, Sato prepared to break Onodera's neck.

However, just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly stopped.

It's not a change of mind!

Not because of kindness!

It's just because Sato came up with a way to 'reuse waste'.

He needs to further show his value to the blossoming courtyard tree.

The one you ignored, I caught.

With such a 'chip', he will definitely be able to gain more advantages in the next cooperation.

Thinking of this, Sato didn't hesitate anymore, and walked into the restaurant with Onodera in his hand.

After walking through the cramped hallway, he appeared in front of the restaurant.

Then, Sato was stunned.

Onodera, who was already in despair, widened his eyes even more.

What do they see?

Jason!

Jason sitting across from the blossom courtyard tree!

What's going on?

What happened?

Not kidding me?

It's true?

Sato froze in place, and as soon as his hand was released, Onodera, who was picked up, fell to the ground.

Thump!

The strange sound catches the eye of the restaurant.

And when Jason's gaze swept over, Sato's whole body trembled, and the coldness on his face completely disappeared, leaving only the fear in his bones.

Sato's coldness is just for ordinary people.

For the truly strong?

He's just an empty shell.

The strength that comes out of disguise is a disguise after all.

Onodera?

After the paralysis disappeared, Onodera rushed towards Jason with a crawl.

A handful hugged Jason's shoe.

"Do you remember me, my lord?"

"I'm going to invite you to dinner, Onodera?"

"Your shoes are dirty, I'll wipe them for you."

Onodera licked his face, took his sleeve and began to wipe Jason's shoes.

Jason looked at Onodera with a dog-legged look, forcibly endured the nausea in his heart, and raised his foot to kick him away.

"Stand there and don't move."

Jason said.

"Okay!"

"Do you think I'm better on one foot or on both feet?"

Onodera asked.

Jason, on the other hand, didn't pay attention to Onodera.

If it weren't for some things, if he wanted to ask Onodera, he would really have to let the other party get out.

It's definitely not because Onodera said he was going to invite him to dinner.

With Jason's attitude, Onodera didn't worry at all.

On the contrary, Onodera let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as Jason didn't let him get out of the way right away, he would be able to live.

Alive!

More than anything else!

Face?

What does a person like him want to do?

Therefore, Onodera immediately stood behind Jason with a smile and bowed to Ryosuke on the side.

I'm not the strongest though!

But I must have the best relationship!

That's what Onodera thinks right now!

Anyway, the ship 'Hanakura' is about to sink!

Then hop on the ship of the Juggernaut!

Be sure to remember the lesson of 'Hanakura'!

Be honest and do your duty!

Onodera told himself.

However, at this time, Onodera was curious at the bottom of his heart.

Why is Jason here?

Could it really be that I didn't deserve to die?

……

"Onodera went to a restaurant half an hour ago and never came out."

Blossom Courtyard Qing informed Jason of the news.

"Do you need me to send someone to bring him over?"

Hua Kaiyuan continued to ask.

"No, I don't."

"We'll go find him ourselves."

"That's about that."

Jason said cryptically.

"Hmm."

"There are some things that we need to sit down and talk about as well."

"Morning."

Hua Kaiyuan Qing also said very vaguely.

"Hmm."

Jason said he knew and hung up.

Then, driven by Ryosuke, they went to the restaurant.

Urashima left some things to deal with.

The Uesugi family's affair has not yet come to an end in the true sense of the word.

Whether it's for the 'knife devouring group'.

Or officially, it's all the same.

The car is moving fast.

Soon, we came to the destination restaurant.

When the car stopped, Jason frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Ryosuke notices Jason's abnormality.

"Discover a ...... 'Food Transporter'!"

Jason's words became slurred later on.

Then, without waiting for Ryosuke to speak again, Jason pushed the door and got out of the car.

He strode toward the restaurant.

Suck!

Sweet!

Delicious!

The blossoming courtyard tree narrowed its eyes pleasantly.

Double the sugar!

It's double the joy!

The blossom courtyard tree is holding hot milk tea, nesting in the sofa, and the whole person is in a relaxed state.

It's relaxation from the inside out.

It is also one of the few hobbies of the flower garden tree.

Drink milk tea!

He loves him so much!

Especially before talking about business, drinking a cup of milk tea is so happy.

After being happy and relaxing.

Talking about business, just right.

Homicide......

It's just right, too.

The blossoming garden tree is immersed in its own happiness.

Then, suddenly, his pupils shrank.

He saw someone he would never forget.

Jason!

The robber!

Mighty bandits!

Almost instinctively, the blossom yard tree clenched its hands.

At this moment, his hand is holding the milk tea cup.

After a clench-

Syllable!

The milk tea squirted out directly, and the hands were all over the place.

"Ahh

"My milk tea!"

The blossoming courtyard tree screamed miserably, and without hesitation, opened its mouth and stretched out its tongue to lick the back of the hand full of milk tea.
