Chapter 356: Let Me Off! This Is Not the Car to Kindergarten!
"Ding dong—! Passengers, the train has arrived at Yomotsu Jashin Station. Please take your luggage and belongings, and prepare to disembark..."
The two-hour and thirty-five-minute journey ended quietly. Train [Mo 23333] slowly entered the station, the voice announcement echoing in the carriage.
Ryohei stood up, moving towards the door with the flow of "people," while sending a message to Jashin-chan using the Demon World phone he specially bought a few days ago—
[Ryohei]: "I've arrived, where are you?"
In a standard carriage further back, Wolf strode off the train. His nose twitched slightly, a predator-like sharp glint flashing in his eyes, as he quickened his pace to chase the prey ahead.
[Jashin-chan]: "I'm at the North Square, you'll see me when you come over."
Jashin-chan replied quickly.
Having gotten off the train and walking on the platform, Ryohei looked up at the sign not far away—thanks to Lucoa's help, he quickly mastered the common language of the Demon World.
The sign on the platform only indicated the direction of the exit, so Ryohei walked forward tentatively.
After twisting and turning, going downstairs, and nearing the North Square—
"He's here!"
Lucoa and Pekola spoke simultaneously.
The moment their voices fell, a long and powerful hand grabbed towards Ryohei's shoulder from behind.
"We don't seem to be that close."
Ryohei turned slightly, dodging deftly, and turned around to face Wolf.
Wolf's chiseled face showed a trace of surprise, then he smiled and said warmly, "Don't be such a stranger! Aren't we friends? We agreed you'd come to my place for a visit."
Saying this, he raised his hand again, trying to put his arm around Ryohei's shoulder.
Several demons who liked to watch the fun stopped and watched with interest.
Crack—!
A crisp bone-cracking sound rang out abruptly.
Ryohei started with zero frames, smashing a heavy punch into Wolf's face, directly collapsing the bridge of his nose.
A muffled groan followed closely!
"Don't touch me."
Ryohei's tone was cold. He tripped Wolf's legs, attacking his base: "Guess why I dared to come to the Demon World?"
Tripped by him, Wolf lost his balance and fell on his butt wretchedly.
"Don't get cocky! A mere human!"
Eating a small loss due to carelessness, Wolf was shocked and angry. He supported himself with one hand and roared as he stood up.
Accompanied by a huge roar, his body began to expand rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Rip—!
The clothes on his body were instantly torn apart!
Wolf expanded from 1.8 meters to over two meters. Thick black hair burst out from his body, and his head twisted into a hideous wolf head.
The furious Wolf waved his sharp claws, carrying a chilling sharpness, attacking Ryohei...
"..."
Ryohei actually didn't have much fighting experience; he wasn't a pugnacious person.
But he had drawn a "Martial Arts Master" green trait before—fighting now, he had quite a method.
He retreated a step precisely, dodging the claw strike just right, then delivered a fierce kick, stomping heavily on Wolf's abdomen.
"Urgh—!"
Wolf's eyes bulged, his body curled up like a shrimp, his feet leaving the ground instantly, and crystal saliva sprayed from his mouth.
"Whoa—!"
The demons watching the fun around them let out surprised cries.
Some demons also looked at Ryohei curiously, wondering: "Is this really a human? Are humans this strong?"
At the same time—
Ryohei didn't pause at all, delivering a storm-like attack on Wolf, beating him until he was powerless to fight back.
"..."
Wolf felt like he had been screwed.
He had heard that the Culinary Sage's employees were not simple, including angels, demons, and dragons... but he hadn't heard that he himself was this strong!
Is this guy really human? Is this reasonable?
It hurts so much—!
Pain transmitted from all over his body...
Can't go on! If this continues...
Fear surged in his heart; he was afraid of being beaten to death!
"..."
"Oh ho—!"
At this time, Jashin-chan arrived at the scene.
She had vaguely heard roaring earlier and guessed if Ryohei was fighting with that werewolf, so she hurried over with the butler.
Then she saw the scene of Ryohei beating the werewolf like a sandbag. She opened the folding fan in her hand with surprise, covering half of her cheek, then closed the fan tip and pointed at Wolf:
"Servant, is this blind 'puppy' targeting you?"
Having gone to the human world, she learned a lot of slang.
The surrounding demons noticed Jashin-chan and whispered:
"It's someone from the Jashin family..."
"Hmm... what's with your outfit?" Ryohei kicked Wolf flying, looked towards the voice, and looked astonished.
Jashin-chan was wearing a caramel-colored wide-brimmed hat, a pure white cute tube dress with lots of ruffles, and holding a seemingly expensive folding fan—
This image quite subverted his previous perception of her!
With a snap, Jashin-chan reopened the folding fan, covering the lower half of her face. With her other hand on her waist, head held high and chest puffed out, she said with a hint of arrogance:
"Standing before you now is the daughter of the topmost figure in the Demon World's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (core department responsible for agriculture, forestry, and fisheries affairs), the noble demon aristocrat, the clever and cute Jashin-chan!"
"Hmm... so narcissistic, it's definitely Jashin-chan!"
Ryohei nodded gently, feeling it was right. Lucoa hanging on his ear laughed out loud.
Jashin-chan felt her defense broken instantly. Her hand gripping the fan handle tightened, her nostrils flaring in anger, and she shouted: "Who's narcissistic!"
"Mr. Mephisto, please handle this."
But she adjusted her emotions immediately, turned her head, and instructed the demon in a tailcoat beside her.
Ryohei's gaze also turned to that demon—
"Yes, Young Miss!"
The Jashin family's head butler, Mephisto—an old gentleman nearly 1.9 meters tall with a beard—pressed his hand to his chest and bowed respectfully to Jashin-chan.
Jashin-chan turned her gaze to Ryohei and beckoned: "Let's go, take you to eat first."
It was already mealtime.
"Okay."
Ryohei responded, lifting his feet with a smile: "It's a big feast, right? I won't accept it if it's not."
"Tsk—! Your demands are so high! Can't you pity me, a debt-ridden demon?"
"Can't pity you even a little."
Ryohei followed Jashin-chan out of the train station to the North Square, looking around curiously while saying:
"I heard from Medusa that you asked her to sponsor a sum of money for treating guests."
( ﹁ ﹁ )
Ryohei glanced sideways at Jashin-chan as he spoke; the scummy snake was still the scummy snake, hasn't changed a bit...
"That loose-lipped woman, why does she tell you everything!" Jashin-chan gripped the fan handle tightly, shouting unhappily.
"Unlike me, my lips are very tight."
Lucoa suddenly dropped a line. Thinking of Ryohei saying no dirty jokes in public, she used encrypted language: "Beep beep beep, beep beep beep—!"
"..." Ryohei understood instantly, his mouth twitching as he retorted: "What are you beeping about!"
"You know."
"I don't understand at all!"
"Let me off! This is not the car to kindergarten!" Pekola cracked a joke unexpectedly with her flat voice.
"Uh..."
