The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1132: Milk Tea X Belief!

The milk tea dripped along the curve of his hand, and Hanakaiin Itsuki immediately stuck out his tongue to lick it.

In fact, he not only licked the milk tea on his hand, but also cleaned the cup.

Then, he glared angrily at Jason and Ryosuke.

"Do you realize you almost made me make an irreparable mistake?"

Hanakaiin Itsuki questioned them like this.

Jason frowned slightly, not answering.

Ryosuke was looking around the entire restaurant.

The middle-aged officer was searching for Onodera.

As for Hanakaiin Itsuki?

He really wasn’t concerned about him at all.

Even though the other was from the Hanakaiin Family, their previous interactions were unpleasant, and could even be said to be enemies—Hanakaiin Haru’s position meant he could never have any close contact with him.

Fighting head-on?

Even though he had strengthened twice, Ryosuke wouldn’t be arrogant because of it.

He knew his own limits.

He wouldn’t do such a thing.

This kind of thing, naturally, was Jason’s to handle.

And he?

Would help out a little.

However, this posture only further infuriated Hanakaiin Itsuki.

"Are you looking down on this cup of milk tea?"

Hanakaiin Itsuki roared.

Then, to make his point more convincing, the young onmyoji lifted the milk tea above his head and said—

"Do you know, it is..."

"Double sugar, double red beans, and double coconut jelly milk tea."

However, before Hanakaiin Itsuki could finish, Jason interrupted him.

Jason spoke with a calm tone, voice steady, as if stating a fact.

But maybe he was just guessing?

Ryosuke thought this.

Even though he admitted Jason could really eat.

But being able to eat and knowing how to eat should be two different things.

Moreover, to deduce the ingredients of a cup of milk tea just by sniffing, without any contact, probably not even a real chef could achieve it?

Ryosuke thought this.

Hanakaiin Itsuki thought the same.

"Were you stalking me?"

Hanakaiin Itsuki’s face turned frosty, with a chilling tone in his voice.

Besides stalking, Hanakaiin Itsuki couldn’t think of anything else.

"If I was, do you think you could still be sitting here unharmed?"

Jason countered.

Immediately, Hanakaiin Itsuki’s eyes narrowed.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, if Jason really was tailing him and he hadn’t noticed, he surely couldn’t sit here calmly.

He had understood the other’s strength.

The legacy of Tongshou Temple was fully apparent in him.

Only...

Relying solely on scent to determine the ingredients of milk tea, isn’t that too difficult?

Even for him, it couldn’t be guaranteed to be one hundred percent accurate.

He’d make mistakes one or two times out of ten.

So, it probably was a guess?

Thinking this, Hanakaiin Itsuki’s eyes slightly opened.

You could lose everything else!

But not the milk tea!

This was a ritual in his life!

While all lives are bitter, only milk tea is sweet!

He definitely wouldn’t acknowledge someone who looks like a wrestler surpassing him in milk tea!

"Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"I’ll go mix ten cups of milk tea later."

"You identify the ingredients without drinking them."

Hanakaiin Itsuki said, looking at Jason.

"Sure."

"What’s in it for me?"

Jason asked candidly.

If there’s no benefit, he wouldn’t do it—his attitude when interacting with outsiders has been consistent.

The life in the Nightless City had long taught Jason that to live happily, beyond having strength, requires being ’frank’, and even, when dealing with certain annoying types, being shameless.

Of course, this was also how Jason made others perceive him.

To be precise, he was establishing a persona.

When something unusual happened because of handling certain matters, this persona would be the most effective ’shield.’

"I will forfeit the ’Enter Main Family’ trial!"

Hanakaiin Itsuki stated firmly.

Such words made Ryosuke look sideways.

He knew about the Hanakaiin Family’s recent turmoil over the ’Enter Main Family’ trial, and even, to some extent, he was one of the participants—every time, he needed to ’clean up.’

Therefore, out of curiosity, Ryosuke had privately delved deeply into the Hanakaiin Family’s branch joining the main family events.

Not only did he inquire, but he also reviewed the documents.

So, Ryosuke knew what this represented.

Saying it was like reaching the skies in a single bound wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Compared to the branch’s name and resources, the main family was truly one of the ’Inside World’ four major onmyoji families.

Yet he’s using it as leverage over a cup of milk tea?

This, this... is just too willful, right?

Ryosuke thought incredulously.

But what surprised Ryosuke even more happened—

"Not enough."

Jason shook his head with great certainty.

Not enough?

The ’Enter Main Family’ trial isn’t enough?

Ryosuke couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

In his view, Jason should have agreed immediately at this moment.

Maybe Hanakaiin Itsuki was ruthless, but he had quite good ’credibility’, and a promise made would not be broken.

Once he really won, the other would surely keep his word.

That moment would remove a major enemy for Hanakaiin Haru.

The anxious Ryosuke wanted to lightly tug on Jason’s sleeve to make him agree, but just as he raised his hand, Hanakaiin Itsuki spoke again.

"What else do you want?"

Hanakaiin Itsuki looked serious.

It startled Ryosuke.

Can it really be negotiated?

Just how obsessed are you with milk tea?
