Chapter 38: Yaksha-hime's Proposal (4300 words)
"Why did Yaksha Ji see me?"
Seti tossed the chicken bones into a plastic bag and continued to eat it with a bucket of fried chicken.
"I don't know." Ito shook her head slightly, her cold face with little change in pink makeup, and then she opened the second layer of the exquisite bento box again, revealing the carefully arranged dishes inside.
Seti eating fried chicken thighs peeks at the hook.
On the left is a sashimi platter spread on layers of clear ice, and at a cursory glance, you can see tuna and sea bream, as well as sweet shrimp, scallops, and precious marbled beef.
It is arranged according to different colors and sizes, and it is quite exquisite.
On the side is dark green wasabi powder to enhance the flavor, which is not as hot and spicy as wasabi.
Next to it are neatly arranged rice balls of the same size, and the top of each dough is precisely sprinkled with three black sesame seeds for decoration, and even the sesame seeds are facing the same inward.
According to the size of the rice ball, Seti raised her head and took a small bite of the cherry in her eye.
As you can guess, these are specially made according to the size of her mouthful.
Rich woman... Seti looked back at the high-calorie fried chicken in her arms, and suddenly felt that it was not fragrant!
Ito Yumori didn't start immediately, and the eyes of the cutter Qiushui looked down at Seti's fists and asked:
"Do you have any plans to join the Heavenly Pillar?"
"Not for the time being, I'm used to being free and easy, and I don't like to be constrained by joining any organization." Seti replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Ito Yumori didn't show any surprise.... Or for her, there are few things that can make her have mood swings.
Yumori Ito said, "Well, Yakshahime said the same thing. ”
"How?" Seti asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, this Yakshahime, who had never even seen him in person, actually guessed his thoughts?
Ito Yumori was silent for a moment before replying:
"Yaksha Ji said, with your proud talent to teach yourself the golden body and bushido, coupled with your vigorous age, you will definitely not accept the control and domination of any organization."
"Ha, she knows me." Seti chuckled.
Yumori Ito continued:
"So she applied to your superiors overnight for you, and made an exception and approved a new proposal."
"What new proposal? Make an exception. ”
"Well, generally only wild cultivators above level 4 can meet the requirements of this proposal, so it's an exception." Yumori Ito explained,
"Yaksha Ji wants to invite you to become a temporary worker of the Celestial Pillar, also known as an expatriate. You can ignore the Heavenly Pillar's order, and everything is up to your own preferences to decide whether you obey the order, but you must not break the law.
"At the same time, you can also enjoy the reward of the Pillar's quest, as well as the right to purchase some meritorious goods... However, they are unable to browse and learn the practitioner's exercises like normal Pillar members. ”
I probably understand, this is equivalent to external personnel, and the task remuneration is external salary... Seti asked, "What are the tasks of the Heavenly Pillars?" ”
Yumori Ito put it succinctly: "Kill those who are free and powerful that endanger society, or those who cross the line of the Strange Association." ”
The mission is to kill the Stranger? Seti's eyes lit up and he asked:
"Do you have a way of locating the Adept?"
"Yes." Yumeri Ito replied.
Seti asked, "How often do you usually meet a stranger?" ”
There was a hint of wonder in Ito's eyes, but she still replied, "The frequency of the appearance of the Alien has increased a lot in the past year.
"This week in the Nerima area, our team met two Adepts, both of whom are related to you... But before, I could meet a Stranger or Beast in about a week. ”
The frequency of spawning is so high! Sethi pondered a little.
Finding that this proposal of Yaksha Hime suited him well.
That is, with the resources of the pillar, he can locate and find the ability to help him complete the first task faster.
He can also be unconstrained by Tianzhu and be purely an outsider who takes money to do things.
So Sethi nodded and said, "Okay, I can accept this offer." ”
"Hmm." Yuri Ito didn't show any surprise, and bowed her head slightly rather sparsely and normally.
But she soon spoke again:
"You join my team, as an expatriate."
"Expats can still join your regular squad?" Se asked.
"Not normally, but my squad, yes." Ito Yumeri's simple words reveal his rich life experience everywhere.
Is this the right of a big dog? Seti joked:
"It's okay, just call me when someone with a strange ability appears... But why did you invite me to join your squad, could it be because I was handsome? ”
Seti remembers the first time she and Yumeri Ito met at the school gate.
At that time, she stared at Sethi with unmistakable precision through the dense crowd of students.
The second time I encountered it at the corner of the alley, I was even closer and kept looking.
Yumori Ito cares a little too much about him...
In the face of Seti's straight fist, the cold face of the three-no girl Ito Yumori did not have any embarrassment that a flower girl should have, and she still had that expressionless appearance, but she lowered her head slightly, and her tone was still cold:
"Level 2 cultivator, it's too dangerous to act alone."
Couldn't be more serious.
After speaking, Ito Yumori didn't seem to plan to continue chatting.
She pulled out two jade-like chopsticks from the hidden compartment on the side of the lunch box, clamped them with her equally white little hands, and pointed directly at the sashimi inside the exquisite lunch box.
When he got closer, Seti realized that the chopsticks in Ito Yumeli's hand were not jade.
Because most of the jade is very brittle, if it is used to make chopsticks, I am afraid that it will break after a few uses, and now she has a certain unknown stone in her hand that is as delicate as jade, at least Seti can't recognize the specific type.
Finding Seti's gaze, Ito Yumori turned his head slightly and explained briefly:
"Poison Detection Weapon."
Bullfrog! Is this a big family, even chopsticks are spiritual weapons! Seti once again felt the inhumanity of the trench rushing in front of him.
Yumeri Ito then picks up a slice of tuna sashimi that has been cut into thin skins, wraps the rice balls in the right size, dips them in a little ground wasabi, and a simple version of the sashimi sushi is ready.
The cherry mouth is slightly open, the white teeth are slightly exposed, and the simple version of sashimi sushi falls lightly on the red soft little tongue, purses the red lips, chews slowly, and does not make any abnormal sound.
The demeanor and gestures reveal a cold temperament that has faded out of the dust.
It's the first time Seti has seen a girl eating like this, after all... What I see every day is the appearance of the old lady who gobbles up and is reincarnated as a starving ghost.
In fact, he still prefers the old lady's like that......
Seti put down the chicken bucket and picked up the lunch box at her feet.
Yumori Ito has a sashimi bento customized by a private chef, and Seti also has a love bento prepared by her mother, Akemi Nishinomiya!
Lifting the lid of the bento, Seti glanced inside.
Well... It is also the staple food rice, chocolate red oil kimchi as a side dish, fried silkworm babies and other fried foods sprinkled with salt.
After eating Seti for so many days, she has long been accustomed to her mother's wonderful cuisine!
Take out the chopsticks, pick up the rice and start showing!
Dazzling and dazzling, Seti used his afterglow to discover:
Yumori Ito is looking at herself.
Seti looked up and followed her gaze———— which finally landed on the "Akemi Nishinomiya Exclusive Customization" chocolate red oil pickles.
Oh, I remember, I showed her this... Seti moved the lunch box to Yumori Ito and proposed, "Taste it?" ”
Yuri Ito hesitated.
Eventually, he stretched out his chopsticks and placed the tips of the chopsticks on the chocolate red oil kimchi, picking up a piece of slightly smaller kimchi wrapped in chocolate and chili flakes.
I was just about to put it back on top of my small rice ball.
The chopsticks in Ito Yumeri's hand that can be tested for poison are gradually turning black!!
Her little hands in the air froze.
Slowly raised his autumn eyes and looked at Seti silently.
....... Seti was also silent.
Wide-eyed stares are a lot smaller.
Looking at the blackened chopsticks, Seti scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Although my mother's cuisine is a little strange... But it's not toxic, haha... Not so much not not to ......"
Yuri Ito glanced at the red oil and rice grains on the corner of Seti's mouth.
In the end nothing more was said,
Wrap the kimchi in a mini rice ball and chew it in a small mouth just like you would with sashimi.
Chew and chew.
It's rare to see a cold eye!
Even the thin lips seemed to raise a little, though still slightly.
Swallowing it quickly much faster than just now, Ito Yumori hesitated for a moment, then moved his eyes, silently staring at the kimchi in Seti's bento, and didn't speak, just stared.
Is this still want to eat? Seti found that he was slowly understanding the thoughts of this three-nothing girl, so he said:
"If you want to eat, keep eating, I can't eat that much alone."
"Hmm." Although Ito Yumori still replied in a cold tone, just from the impatient little hand, it could be seen that her mood was not as calm as it seemed.
She sandwiched several slices of chocolate red oil kimchi in a row...
At the instigation of Seti, he even tasted fried silkworm babies......
It wasn't until she had eaten all the rice balls in her bento box that Yuri Ito stopped.
She took out a handkerchief and elegantly wiped her red lips, then lifted the delicate bento box pressed on her thighs with both hands, handed it to Seti, and said:
"You eat."
Looking at the delicate sashimi that has not yet touched a few pieces, Seti is not hypocritical and takes it!
Ito Yumori was also not idle, she got up from the stone chair, flattened the hem of her skirt, squatted in front of Seti, and pulled out a booklet from the third layer on the side of the lunch box.
He handed it to Sethi and said, "Here you go." ”
Seti looked puzzled.
I saw that it said "The Way of the Samurai".
What are the practice techniques of the samurai path? Se asked, "Didn't you say that expatriates like me can't learn the Heavenly Pillar exercises?" ”
A meal of my mother's special chocolate kimchi bribed her?
Yumori Ito stood up and said, "You have a lot of samurai talent. ”
Pause for a moment.
She seemed to feel that it was not enough, adding:
"The welfare of the Ito team, don't care about the pillar."
For Tianzhu, an official organization that rules almost all cultivators, it's just an understatement, don't care... Seti stretched out his hand to take the samurai exercises, tasted the soft and glutinous frosted beef sashimi in his mouth, and sighed:
What a rich woman with power and money!!
......
Afternoon.
After the end of training with the warship man.
Seti walked out of the school gate and got into the Ito team's van.
This business car, which is comparable to all of Setti's net worth now, has an interior that is not exaggerated, with leather soft chairs, starry sky roofs, and snow-white special leather as the main colors, which are wiped spotlessly.
After the electric door is closed.
There is no noise in the whole carriage, and the sound insulation effect is quite good.
Now the honest man Kameda is of course a part-time driver, and the flat-chested little witch sits in the co-pilot's seat, just looking at the special raised seat, you know that it is her special seat.
Yumori Ito and Seti sat in the back row.
After a brief chat at noon, Seti plans to follow the Ito team to the branch of the Tenzhu in the Nerima area, and at the same time meet the legendary genius shrine maiden who has risen to the pinnacle of level 6 in a year, Yakshahime.
It was not Seti recklessness to make such a decision.
Even the Level 7 Sage Qing Mizuhui, who had the Heavenly Eye Pass, couldn't see Sethi's golden finger, and he also considered Sethi a wild cultivator.
Therefore, entering the Tianzhu branch does not have much exposure risk for Seti.
"I didn't expect you to really agree to join our team!" The flat-chested little witch poked her head back, and her round eyes became crooked, and she was very happy.
has been teammates with two social fears for so long, and after meeting Seti, who can talk together, she feels that there is hope in life for the first time.
"Well, it's just an expatriate approach." Sethi leaned back in the soft chair, feeling the soothing of money.
"Expatriates?" The flat-chested little witch wondered, "But you're only level 2, the minimum level requirement for expatriates, I remember it's level 4..."
"Yaksha Ji applied for it." Yumori Ito's explanation.
Hearing this, the flat-chested little witch took a deep breath, gave a thumbs up to Seti, and said:
"It's worthy of being a top genius who taught himself the golden body and bushido, and Yaksha-hime-sama is actually willing to run for you, and usually Yaksha-hime-sama doesn't have a good face for us."
Seti was also interested, sat up a little, and asked, "Yaksha-hime is difficult to get along with?" ”
The flat-chested little witch hurriedly pecked her head and said, "It's not that it's hard to get along, it's that it's completely impossible to get along!" ”
Then she looked left and right a few times, stretched her brain back a little more, lowered her voice, and gossiped:
"Yaksha-hime-sama has a nickname... It's a bit disrespectful to say, but many people call her that behind their backs... It's called 'Cold-Blooded Crazy Criticism'. ”
Cold-blooded crazy criticism? What the hell is a nickname... Seti didn't speak, because he knew that the flat-chested little witch would continue.
Sure enough, the flat-chested little witch's chattering mouth was like Gatlin's, and she couldn't stop at all when she opened it, and she said, "When Yaksha-hime first became famous in the Nerima district, she relied on the blood of one person to wash the entire weird team.
"You don't know the mission photos that came out at the time, the group of supernatural beings on the other side, it was a miserable cry, almost not even a whole piece of meat could be found, all of them were beaten into pulp by Lord Yaksha-hime......"
Thinking of the scene at that time, the flat-chested little witch still couldn't help but shiver.
Despite this, her chattering little mouth did not stop, her teeth chattered, and she did not forget to gossip:
"Normally, we almost can't talk to Yaksha-sama, she's either practicing or doing a task... By the way, I just heard the captain say that Yakshahime-sama wants to see you? Then you have to be careful, remember not to make Yaksha-sama angry, level 6 witches are very terrifying..."
Hearing you say that, I suddenly don't want to see her... Seti hadn't spoken yet.
Drip, drip!!
A rapid bell suddenly sounded on the center console of the commercial vehicle, and Kazumitsu Kameda, who was the driver at the time, skillfully slowed down the car, and at the same time clicked to answer, saying:
"Team Ito, please speak."
The other side also quickly replied:
"This is the Nerima district, and according to the location, there is a free ability in your vicinity right now, so please hurry as soon as possible before the other party can cause more damage."
Someone with a supernatural ability? Sethi sat up straight.
