Chapter 4: The Demon Dream Stone
"Welcome."
When Ye Ran's voice reached the ears of the woman who pushed the door in, she was obviously stunned for a moment.
With long flaxen-colored hair, a beautiful face above the level, a serious uniform she wears, and a slender and tall mature figure, this is the impression that this woman gave Ye Ran.
"Xiao Ai, who is this?"
"Ah, Ninomiya-sensei, this is our new clerk and chef here."
Xintang Ai, who was familiar with Ye Ran's familiar environment, saw the person and smiled, it seemed that he was an acquaintance, but since he would come to this store, and the aura on his body was completely different from Xintang Ai's love for them, then it should be that the otherworldly priest did not run away.
This was the first Otherworldly Scholar Ye Ran saw.
Ye Ran squinted his eyes slightly, sensing the other party's breath, with a slight smile, and said politely: "Hello." ”
"Oh? Cook? ”
Ninomiya came to Ye Ran's side, looking Ye Ran up and down with interest, Ye Ran looked only seventeen years old, so she was very close to Ye Ran without any psychological burden, and the high-end perfume lingering on her body floated into Ye Ran's nose endlessly.
It seemed that she should have wanted to tease Ye Ran, but she was destined to be disappointed, she didn't see any cramped uneasiness in Ye Ran's eyes that should appear at this age, those black eyes were extremely calm, and even she saw a different taste from those eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate her heart.
Fighting spirit?
"Hah, interesting."
Shizuku Ninomiya, who is also very famous among the Otherworldly Scholars, didn't expect to see such a thing in the eyes of a child, but this is just an ordinary person, right? She didn't feel any strength on Ye Ran.
In this regard, Ye Ran just smiled silently, let go of his body, and said softly: "If you are looking for Sister Caihua, then please sit down for a while." ”
He was indeed interested in the strength of the Otherworldly, but not now.
With his eyelids drooping slightly, Ye Ran led the other party to the table, beckoned the other party to sit down, and then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Then, Shizuku Ninomiya saw Ye Ran gently put it in front of her with a cup of black tea, and then continued to stay at the front desk.
Xintang Ai's eyes followed Ye Ran until Ye Ran came back, then he nodded with satisfaction, looked at Ye Ran with a sigh, and said, "I have nothing to teach you, you can already be a teacher." ”
Ye Ran just took that smile and continued to be silent.
Then the breath in the body continued to flow along with the route of the sword cultivation technique.
Cultivation, recovery of strength.
Fifteen swords.
This is Ye Ran's biggest hope at present, everything else can be put aside first, so for Ye Ran, a stable and orderly life is what he wants now, so he will ask Xintang Caihua, a powerful demon dream that has brought him great pressure, to work here.
Xintang Ai ran to the backyard to call Xintang Caihua, and Shizuku Ninomiya looked at Ye Ran curiously, and then took a sip of black tea, his eyes were round, and he looked at Ye Ran with a hint of surprise, this kid is really a chef? This taste is much better than the craftsmanship of Xintang Caihua.
But the smile on this kid's face is really unpleasant.
With a light snort, Shizuku Ninomiya opened the menu, casually browsing the familiar menu, and then saw an unfamiliar dish at the top of the menu.
I'll see, the signature steak?
Price...... Twenty-eight thousand eight ??!!
actually wrote four big words recommended by the store manager.
"Ahh Xintang Caihua, you might as well go and grab money! ”
Shizuku Ninomiya, who squirted out a mouthful of black tea, saw Xintang Caihua who came out of Shi Shiran in the backyard, and looked at the store manager of this place where she often came with a look of surprise on her face, and she had found her black heart before, but she didn't expect it to become even more black now.
"You can try it, the store manager recommends it."
Sitting down opposite, Xintang Caihua lazily leaned on the back of the chair, took a puff of light cigarette, swallowed out, and said with a chuckle with a smile that was a profiteer in the eyes of the other party.
"Excuse me, I've been strapped for money lately, so I don't have time to play a foolish game with you."
Shizuku Ninomiya, who had a toothache when he saw the price, crossed his hands and rejected the other party's proposal, took out a few stones from his pocket and placed them in front of Shindo Caihua, and continued to drink the free black tea in front of him.
"Ye Ran."
"Is there anything you need?"
Hearing Xintang Caihua's voice greeting him, Ye Ran took his attention away from the aura circulating in his body, walked to the table between the two, and asked softly.
"Have you ever seen the Demon Dream Stone before?"
"Nope."
Ye Ran shook his head, he had just arrived in this world, how could he know what the specialties of this world world were like, but he immediately turned his gaze to the few stones placed in the middle of the table, could it be...
"This is the Demon Dream Stone."
Xintang Caihua picked up a demon dream stone and rubbed the lines on it, this kind of stone with a few messy crystals mixed with it, it looked like a completely unpolished rough stone, inconspicuous.
Demon Dream Stone...
Ye Ran stretched out his hand to pick up a demon dream stone to observe, and the moment he touched it, a strange feeling suddenly hit his heart.
"Huh?"
Ye Ran's surprise did not escape the eyes of the two, Xintang Caihua's eyes narrowed, put down the demon dream stone in his hand, and looked at Ye Ran.
What is this?
The moment he touched the Demon Dream Stone, Ye Ran clearly felt that the faint aura in his body emitted a burst of instinctive desire, not only that, but even the weak sword intent hovering in the spiritual sea also exuded the same thought.
Without hesitation, Ye Ran held the Demon Dream Stone tightly in his hand.
The faint coldness suddenly dispersed, and Shizuku Ninomiya shook his fingers, looking at the black tea in the cup that had cooled rapidly, his face was full of surprise.
Xintang Ai's face changed, and he hurriedly hid behind Xintang Caihua, looking at Ye Ran with a shocked expression.
Click.
Between his fingers, smoke and dust sprinkled, and Ye Ran opened his eyes.
The sword intent suddenly appeared.
Razor-sharp.
Breathtaking.
Then, disappear again.
Too little.
I don't know what level the energy contained in this Demon Dream Stone belongs to in this world, the energy contained in it is too little and too little, if you use Ye Ran himself as a metaphor, it is equivalent to the results of Ye Ran's own cultivation for half a day.
However, this purity is extremely pure, and the energy contained in it can actually speed up the restoration of the spiritual sea.
This is undoubtedly good news for Ye Ran.
The spiritual sea and the sword intent complement each other, and only a sound spiritual sea can host a healthy sword intent.
If the spiritual sea could be repaired as soon as possible, his sword intent would naturally be able to return to its previous state.
Then, at least there is the power of self-preservation in this world.
"The price of this demon dream stone is 8,000 yen, and if you change it to the demon dream level, it will probably be a C-grade demon dream."
Xintang Caihua took a puff of cigarette violently, in order to calm the churning waves in her heart, the power carried by Ye Ran was probably much stronger than she had thought, just revealing a trace of breath, which made her feel great danger.
"What are you talking about, you miser, do you know how much effort I spent on this demon dream!"
Shizuku Ninomiya, who came back from his astonishment, slapped the table hard, but the smile couldn't be hidden, oops, I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing, and now I can make a good mistake.
"Then, let me make up for your loss with this twenty-eight thousand steak."
"Hah! Do you think this broken steak can make up for the money I made at the risk of my life? ”
"Well~ don't say that, it's not too late to say it after tasting this steak."
Ye Ran's proposal with a slight smile was echoed by Xintang Caihua, and she leaned back on the table with a hint of laziness.
…
……
"Impossible... It's impossible, how can there be such a delicious thing in the world, I can't even say the word unpalatable. ”
"I'll see you again, Mr. Ninomiya, and welcome to come again."
Seeing Shizuku Ninomiya lose her soul and walk away, Shindoai watched her go away with a sweet smile.
Then, his eyes turned to Ye Ran and Xintang Caihua.
