The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1089: Boarding the Ship! (2)

Double bed, bedside table, vanity table, and so on, the bedroom has them all!

But what shocked Sagaraso the most was that upon going up the stairs to the second floor, on the second level of the RV, there was a balcony area similar to an observation deck, and the back half was actually... a karaoke room.

After testing the sound system, Sagaraso suddenly fell in love with the place.

However, a question also appeared in her mind.

"Are we driving? Or are we operating... a room?"

With her question in mind, Sagaraso ran down from the second floor.

"Mr. Haru! Mr. Haru!"

Sagaraso addressed Hanakaiin Haru in her own way.

"What’s wrong, Sagaraso?"

Even though he was annoyed, Hanakaiin Haru still had a smile when facing his teammate.

Because, he knew that all this wasn’t caused by his teammate.

And also, he trusted the teammate in front of him.

"If we win, can I exchange the reward you give me for this vehicle? If the reward is not enough, I can top it up for you."

Sagaraso said so.

Very naive.

And a bit cute.

This caused Hanakaiin Haru’s angry and frustrated heart to ease a bit.

He looked at Sagaraso and started to smile.

Not that polite, instinctive smile.

But a smile that came from the heart.

"No need, I’ll give you one later."

Hanakaiin Haru said.

"Huh?"

"This, this..."

Sagaraso was stunned.

The carefree girl didn’t know how to respond, she did want the car, but felt uncomfortable accepting it directly, so after thinking hard, she straightforwardly said: "I will try my best in the competition! I won’t let this car down!"

But Hanakaiin Haru shook his head.

This young Onmyoji took a deep breath and said.

"No need!"

"We’re withdrawing from the competition!"

"What?!"

Sagaraso shouted.

It was twice as loud as her prior cheers.

"Why?"

She looked at Hanakaiin Haru puzzled.

Because, this is an absolute trap!

Once stepped in, it would mean total destruction.

Hanakaiin Haru wanted to say this, but the words at the tip of his tongue turned into—

"My skills are too poor."

"I can’t handle it."

Hanakaiin Haru said.

"I’m poor too, but Jason is very strong!"

"With Jason here, it will definitely be okay!"

Sagaraso, somehow entirely confident in her foodie friend.

Under normal circumstances, having Jason around might increase the odds of winning by at least twenty percent.

But that’s under normal circumstances.

Now?

Even Jason would be of no use.

Moreover, with Jason’s keen observation, he must have noticed the current predicament.

He would surely choose to retreat.

Thinking this, Hanakaiin Haru’s gaze turned towards Jason.

Then, Hanakaiin Haru was stunned.

He did not see the anticipated reluctant and compromising expression.

He saw excitement!

Subtle enthusiasm that overflowed from his face!

This?

Just as Hanakaiin Haru was utterly surprised, Jason spoke.

"’King of Fighters - King of Fist Competition’ spoils go to whom?"

Jason asked.

"Spoils?"

Hanakaiin Haru was stunned, unsure why Jason would ask this question at this time, but still followed up saying: "The spoils go to the winner, this is a rule that has been passed down since the Warring States period, and..."

Upon saying this, Hanakaiin Haru paused.

He seemed to realize something, and a self-mocking smile appeared on the face of the young Onmyoji.

"If there wasn’t such a rule, those bastards probably wouldn’t be so eager to participate in this preliminary round of the group competition."

"They are here not only for my life but also for the artifacts on me."

"A bunch of vultures!"

The young Onmyoji’s words gradually became chilly.

Dangerous sparks flickered in his eyes.

Hanakaiin Haru could already completely imagine the situation he would face after giving up the competition.

Condemnation from the family.

Disappointment from his father.

He was fearless of the former, but the latter was intolerable.

Therefore, he prepared to play big.

If the rules changed, then he wouldn’t abide by the rules anymore.

You take my ’car’ on the chessboard, I’ll flip your chessboard and cover your face with it!

With such straightforward thoughts, Hanakaiin Haru clenched his fists.

He planned to start from here!

Right here!

Turn the ’King of Fighters - King of Fist Competition’ upside down.

Then, return to the main family.

He plans to use the current Family Head’s head to wash away the humiliation.

"Jason, I..."

"From now on, leave it to me!"

"Act according to my instructions."

Jason interrupted Hanakaiin Haru’s words.

The young Onmyoji was taken aback.

"You’re not planning to give up?"

Hanakaiin Haru asked.

"Give up?"

"Why should I give up?"

"The hunt has just begun!"

Jason retorted.

"But, but..."

Hanakaiin Haru’s words started to stammer.

He couldn’t believe that Jason couldn’t see the ’hopeless situation’ in front of them.

If Jason could see it, why would he still do this?

Could it be that Jason was bribed?

Almost immediately, the young Onmyoji thought of this, but then shook his head. From previous observations, he didn’t believe Jason was that kind of person.

More importantly, he trusted Master Tongshou Temple.

He believed that a master of such character would never choose someone unreliable as his successor.

Putting that aside, there was only one possibility left...

Jason was confident in handling the current situation!

But how could Jason possibly handle it?

200 enemies.

Not ordinary people.

All are close to the ’Inside World’, or from the ’Inside World’.

How could one defeat such enemies within 1 hour?

It can’t possibly be done with a single sword stroke, cutting through them like mowing grass, right?

A swordsman couldn’t achieve such a thing.

Even a great swordsman would find it beyond his reach.

Sword Saint!

Only the legendary peerless Sword Saint could possibly achieve such a feat.

But... Is Jason a Sword Saint?

Or is it something else?

Whew!

Hanakaiin Haru took a deep breath and looked at Jason.

"I didn’t expect, Jason, that you had already mastered the true ’Immovable King’s Body.’

"If that’s the case..."

"We still have a chance of winning!"

Hanakaiin Haru said as he began to contemplate deeply.

He wanted to devise a relatively perfect plan to maximize the effect of the ’Immovable King’s Body.’

Unlike ordinary people of the ’Inside World’, who only know the strong defensive power of the ’Immovable King’s Body,’ as a heir of a branch family of Hanakaiin, he clearly understood what the essence of the ’Immovable King’s Body’ was.

Strong defense is just the basics!

What really shows its power is... reflected damage!

Reflecting the damage back to the attacker!

This is what truly makes the ’Immovable King’s Body’ terrifying.

"If we can lure enough people to attack Jason, we could secure a significant advantage in the first instance!"

"Just by reducing their numbers by half, no, by just one-third, we might not be without a chance to win!"

"Just..."

Recalling something, Hanakaiin Haru looked up at Jason again.

"Are you sure there’s no problem with this plan?"

Hanakaiin Haru asked.

Since Jason hadn’t shown the true capabilities of the ’Immovable King’s Body’, he naturally had his own plans.

Or other motives.

Or it was Master Tongshou Temple’s instruction.

Whichever it was, it needed to be kept secret.

Is it worth exposing for this...

"No problem."

While Hanakaiin Haru was anxious and hesitating, Jason answered very succinctly.

It’s just a trump card.

And it needs the right timing.

If not now, then when?

Moreover, there would be a batch of food coming into play.

It really couldn’t get any better.

But as soon as Jason finished speaking, he noticed Hanakaiin Haru looking at him with moved eyes.

"Jason, I, I didn’t expect you would go to this extent for me."

"I swear by the name of Hanakaiin Haru, if you do not fail me, I will never fail you!"

"If I break this oath, may thunder strike me!"

Hanakaiin Haru said very formally.

Jason nodded subtly without any expression.

He knew that Hanakaiin Haru had been involuntarily influenced by ’Cat Hole.’

It didn’t matter.

He was used to it.

Now he just wanted to quickly ’hunt’ that food.

As Jason eagerly anticipated, time passed second by second, until finally a horn sounded in the distance.

Whoo!

Amidst the dull sound of the horn, a large ship slowly approached the shore under the cover of night.

On the bow, it prominently displayed—

Fated!
