Chapter 72: The Deer and the Wine

"It can't be cheaper?" I crouched in front of a tanuki monster in front of the store.

"Lord Ye Ke, this is the best calamus wine, if it weren't for the Dragon Boat Festival, I wouldn't have sold it at all," the tanuki demon snapped the abacus beads with his paws, "Such a big pot, I only accept you 200 zongzi, it's really not a loss." ”

“...... Such a big jug?" I pointed to the flask in his hand that was not bigger than my palm, "You're too dark, this little wine will be gone in two sips, okay?" ”

"Then you can buy a few more pots, I'll give you a cheaper," it looked left and right, and mysteriously lowered its voice, "If your zongzi can be sweet and salty in half, I can also be cheaper, a pot of 180 zongzi, sold to you at a loss." ”

"Why do you monsters also eat zongzi? and divide sweet zongzi and salty zongzi?" I couldn't laugh or cry.

"Shhh These days, it's not easy to do any business, if there is no other way, I won't take out the treasured calamus wine to exchange for zongzi, you buy wine from me, no loss at all. ”

I'm skeptical of its words, because I don't usually drink much, I really can't tell the quality of this wine, but I want to buy it back and give it to the drunkard Tsubaki, and I can't find other monsters selling alcohol nearby, but anyway, 180 rice dumplings for such a little calamus wine, always makes me feel unreliable.

"Lord Ye Ke, don't hesitate, you can't find anything better than this in the whole A city," the tanuki demon said, "If you don't give you any more discounts, 170 zongzi a pot, it really can't be lower." ”

"If you buy it, you're losing a lot. "I was hesitating when Lu Ke came to the store.

"It's been a long time," maybe because of the old man, every time I see Lu Ke, I feel very kind, compared to other demon killers, she is much more sincere, "It's just that you're here, I want to buy some calamus wine here, but I don't understand, can you help me take a look?"

"Don't look at it, I know this guy, and his wine is good," said Lu Ke, "but this one can be sold to you, it's not even an ordinary product." ”

"Ouch, isn't this Miss Deer," the tanuki demon was shocked when he saw Lu Ke, and then looked at me with a smile on his face, and said flatteringly, "It turns out that Lord Ye Ke is a friend of Miss Lu, then I'll give you a discount, only 100 zongzi!"

"You often buy wine from it?" I ignored the tanuki and talked to the deer.

"Sometimes I buy it, and its festival special brew is okay most of the time," Lu Ke didn't pay attention to the tanuki demon, "I just came back from S City, and when I heard about you, I came right away." "She's supposed to be talking about the contract between me and Mamoru about it.

"It seems that you are a special friend of Miss Lu, and those 50 zongzi will do. "I guess it's this tanuki.

"The news is spreading so fast," I shook my head helplessly, "It's been less than half a month, and countless demon slayers have come to ask me about it." ”

"It's expected," Lu Ke said, "this is not a trivial matter, why don't you call me to discuss it?" ”

"I'm not sure if you're with Zong'an again," I said, "and it was decided suddenly, so I didn't think about it that much." ”

The tanuki demon was left to the side by the two of us, embarrassed, "I have some other goods, you wait a minute." It put away the wine that it was going to sell me, and took out a clay pot from the basket again, "This is a special craft brew for the Dragon Boat Festival, as a gift for you, and I hope you can take care of our small business more in the future." ”

I was stunned for a moment, "Eh, no, no, no, how can I take it for nothing..."

"Okay, then we'll take it, I'll thank you for Ye Ke," Lu Ke interrupted me and unceremoniously took the clay pot, "Don't forget to send a jar to the Lu family too." ”

The tanuki demon nodded with a smile, I felt its tail stiffened, it seems that this time it is really a loss.

"That's not good," I felt like I was blackmailing as I watched the tanuki demon bow his head and leave, "and it seems to be really expensive at the end." ”

"This is a punishment for its deception," Lu Ke opened the jar and sniffed, "Tsk, it's really good wine, I guess that guy's distressed hair is going to fall out." ”

"Sure enough... No, I have to buy zongzi and pay for it. I turned around and prepared to go back to the store to get the money.

"Don't worry, even if it's good wine, 10 zongzi is definitely enough," Lu Ke handed me the clay pot after lid, but the small jar was heavy, "Zongzi is comparable to the price of our human gold in the monster, and when it comes to my house to deliver wine in a while, the family will pay according to the order, and it will not let it go home empty-handed." ”

Zongzi is so valuable... Thinking that the tanuki was going to ask me to collect 200 zongzi at the earliest, I instantly felt no pity for it.

"Haha, why don't you speak?" Lu Ke touched my hair again, every time she touched my hair it was like touching a pet, "You are really a liar, anyway, you bought this wine for your little kitten?"

"Well, thinking that the holiday is coming soon, Tsubaki likes to drink again, and yesterday he yelled that he wanted to drink calamus wine. ”

"That's sweet," she smiled, "come on, let's get down to business and talk about your contract." ”

"Well, you ask. "For Lu Ke, I'm still very relieved.

"Aren't you afraid I'm taking advantage of you?" she said.

"Don't be afraid, if you were afraid, I would have asked you out a long time ago. I said, "I didn't even let the demon slayer who came before." ”

"Good job of secrecy," she patted me on the cheek, "It seems that Tian Bei made the right choice to hand over his tambourine to you." ”

"Do you know a lot of details? "I'm really not used to her moving her hands and feet," ... Coco, you've been drinking..."

"Wow, you can see the drinking? Yes, yes, very meticulous observation. She clapped her hands, "I know almost everything about the process, including the fact that the monster voluntarily signed a contract with you, but there is a detail that I care about very much, when the monster signs a contract with you, there should be light?"

"Hmm... That's right," I recalled, "palms and tambourine, both. ”

"Remember the color of light?"

Recalling the details of the time, "Probably belongs... Orange?"

"Orange?are you sure?" asked the deer.

"Well, it's orange," I said, "what's the problem?"

"It's time to popularize some knowledge for you," Lu pointed his finger at my head, "Each demon killer has a different way of eliminating demons, and there are many levels of demon power, the higher the demon power, the more types of monsters that people can see, and the higher the level of the monster contract, the color of the light emitted when signing the contract is roughly divided into white, yellow, red, Generally speaking, the first contract signed by the demon is white light, and yours is orange, between yellow and red, which means that the first time you sign a contract, you sign a monster that is not weak, and it is voluntary. ”

"I don't know what that means," I felt like I was sweating, "but that's why so many demon slayers came to the door." ”

"That's right," said Luke, "go to my house, it's hard to share those memories with people you haven't met, and now that you've met, we can talk about more topics." ”

"No... If the boss finds out that I left the store without permission, he will definitely fire me. ”

"Don't worry, I've said hello to him," Lu Ke grabbed my arm and walked forward, so strong that I had no room to refuse, "I just happen to have good wine at home, but I rarely want to invite someone to drink." ”
