Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Rio Futaba narrowed her eyes slightly, noticing Yozora sitting across from her with a gloating expression.

She frowned, thinking that, judging by appearances, even if this bowl of miso soup wasn't delicious, it certainly couldn't be called bad.

Besides.

Miso soup is so simple, just put in various ingredients and simmer it for a while; a normal person couldn't possibly make it taste bad.

Thinking of this, Rio Futaba, under Yui Yuigahama's expectant gaze, reached out her right hand, picked up a soup spoon, scooped up a spoonful of miso soup, gently parted her pink lips, and brought the miso soup in the spoon to her mouth.

"How does it taste?"

Yui Yuigahama looked very confident.

"I feel like this is my masterpiece!"

Rio Futaba didn't hear Yui Yuigahama's words.

Or rather.

The moment that spoonful of miso soup entered her mouth, she couldn't hear anything anymore.

The heat from the bowl caused her glasses to fog up.

Tears involuntarily streamed down Rio Futaba's cheeks.

This…

What on earth is this thing! ! !

With just a simple mouthful, Rio Futaba could feel many different flavors exploding directly in her mouth.

That's right, only using the highly impactful word 'exploding' could adequately describe her current feelings.

Why?

Why would there be star anise, Coptis chinensis, pickled vegetables, Houttuynia cordata, chili peppers, so many kinds of ingredients in the miso soup?

The taste of this miso soup can't be described as simply bad.

Such a complex and bizarre taste, enough to make one's eyes start seeing a revolving lantern of memories, was contained in a small soup bowl.

How on earth did Yui Yuigahama make something like this! ! !

That's not the main point.

The main point is that despite containing such a terrifying taste inside, the appearance doesn't show any abnormality at all, just like ordinary miso soup.

What kind of skill is this?

"How is it, Rio-chan? Is it delicious?"

Looking at Yui Yuigahama, who was completely unaware of the taste of her cooking, Rio Futaba raised her head, took off her glasses, looked directly into Yui Yuigahama's eyes, and said earnestly.

"Yui, you might be able to become an assassin in the future."

"An assassin?"

"Yes…"

Rio Futaba's eyes were bright, and she gently bit her silver teeth.

"A culinary assassin."

… …

At eight o'clock that night, on the top floor of a certain hotel in Kyoto, inside the rooftop bar.

"Sir, please come in."

Although Yozora was only wearing a set of ordinary casual clothes, the receptionist at the door didn't look down on him at all, and maintained a polite and appropriate smile.

That's why it's a five-star hotel.

Yozora nodded slightly, stepped into the bar, and sat down in front of the bar counter.

Today is Tuesday, and there aren't many customers in this rooftop bar, only about two or three tables.

Sitting at the bar, you can see the colorful lights emanating from the city of Kyoto at night through a row of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Yozora was really seeing such a scene for the first time.

Usually, at this time, he wouldn't be leisurely strolling around in prosperous areas, but rather wandering in the untouched, remote, and dark corners of the city of Kyoto, carrying out his own feast.

Speaking of which…

It's been a while since I've gone to the 裏 world to feast.

"Good evening, would you like to drink something…"

Wearing a bartender's uniform, standing inside the bar counter, a girl with smooth long hair turned around, but paused halfway through her sentence.

"Um…"

Saki Kawasaki was stunned to see that the customer sitting there was actually Yozora.

"Soda water, thank you."

Yozora's gaze didn't linger on Saki Kawasaki's face for even a moment, as if he didn't recognize her at all, and said with a smile.

"Oh… okay."

Saki Kawasaki replied, turned around, and thought to herself with a tangled expression while pouring soda water into a glass.

This is bad, this is bad, what should I do?

If I ran into a classmate from the same class while working part-time, that would be fine.

But she never expected that she would run into someone she knew in the rooftop bar of this five-star hotel.

Saki Kawasaki doesn't care what her classmates think of her.

But if the fact that she's working at a bar spreads to other people's ears, even if it's just as a bartender, who knows what it will turn into in the end?

After all, a high school girl working at a bar is a fresh topic worth discussing for those bored students.

In addition, Saki Kawasaki's reputation at school isn't very good to begin with, and she's considered a delinquent girl.

If this matter is known to Sobu High School…

Will they expel me?

When Saki Kawasaki turned around, her expression had returned to its usual indifferent look.

She gently placed a glass of soda water with ice cubes in front of Yozora and said indifferently.

"That will be one hundred and sixty."

Yozora frowned slightly, thinking that this BYD only costs one hundred and sixty for a glass of soda water with ice?

But he could also understand.

This high price of one hundred and sixty is not just the price of soda water.

It also includes the price of being able to overlook the Kyoto scenery at night in this rooftop bar.

So expensive.

Yozora took out banknotes from his wallet and handed them to Saki Kawasaki.

The latter took it and put it into the counter, then started wiping the glasses and wine bottles on her own, without saying a word.

At this time.

"Good evening."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded to the receptionist at the door, stepped into the bar, glanced around, saw Yozora sitting at the bar, couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of her lips, and walked over quickly.

She first put the small bag in her hand on the bar counter, and then supported her fragrant cheeks with one hand, looking at Yozora's side face and the glass of soda water in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Such a good view, such a good place, is it a pity to only drink water?"

"I'm underage."

Hearing Yozora's words, Yang Nai shook her head dumbfounded and laughed.

"I really can't tell that you're a law-abiding person."

Immediately afterwards, her slender and white index finger gently tapped the surface of the bar counter and smiled at Saki Kawasaki standing inside.

"A glass of whiskey, a glass of brandy, both without ice, thank you."

Hearing Yang Nai's request, Saki Kawasaki frowned slightly.

She is a classmate with Yozora, of course she knows that the other party has not reached the legal drinking age.

At this time, I should ask to show my ID.

But when the words came to her lips, Saki Kawasaki changed her mind and poured two glasses of wine without saying a word, and gently placed them in front of Yang Nai.

"Thank you."

Saki Kawasaki nodded, and didn't directly quote the price of the two glasses of wine like she did before when dealing with Yozora.

Yozora immediately understood.

What do you mean?

Looking down on people?

Thinking that I can't afford to spend, so you only charge for one glass at a time, right?

You just wait for me.

I will never let this one hundred and sixty yuan go today!

Yukino Yukinoshita pushed the glass of whiskey in front of Yozora, picked up the glass in her hand, and delivered the mouth of the glass forward, and smiled.

"Cheers."

"Okay."

What Yang Nai didn't expect was that Yozora, who only ordered a glass of soda water when he came to the bar, picked up the glass without hesitation at this time, tapped her glass lightly in the air, and then drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp.

"Ah, this…"

Yang Nai was dumbfounded.

What she said about cheers was just a ceremonial word.

Isn't it just to take a sip after touching glasses?

You really drank it all in one breath?

Yang Nai gritted her teeth, thinking that after all, she was asking the other party for help today.

Whether it was out of etiquette in social situations, or for the negotiations that followed, and the inexplicable sense of competition that burned in the depths of her heart, that she couldn't lose to high school students in terms of alcohol consumption, there was only one choice.

Yang Nai drank the glass of tequila in one breath, put down the glass with a slight frown, and said to Saki Kawasaki in the bar.

"The same wine, keep it coming."

"Okay."

After Saki Kawasaki refilled the two glasses, Yang Nai's face was slightly red with the intention of drinking, and she smiled and said softly.

"This time, I have something I need your help with."

"But it doesn't matter to say."

"Have you heard of… Doujishi?"

"A little bit."

"Eh? You actually really heard of it?"

Yang Nai seemed a little surprised, but then she thought about it, after all, the other party is an exorcist with special abilities, and it's not surprising to have heard of the Doujishi from a certain channel.

"Since you've heard of it, then I'll just say it."

Yang Nai put away her smile and slowly opened her mouth.

"I hope you can play a game between Doujishi for our Yukinoshita Construction Company."

Yozora's expression didn't change at all, but he said noncommittally.

"I am not a Doujishi."

"Representing Yukinoshita Company, you are."
