Chapter 269: Mist Tengu's Recipe
While Kidd was worrying about his vest, Grandpa Terai next to him was already sweating profusely.
On the one hand, I thought of the same thing as Kidd.
On the other hand, in his heart, Mist Tengu is still the cruel monster who likes to dry human flesh... Even if the habit of "eating human flesh" is removed, it is at least a monster.
And now, the legendary monster was about to walk up to him, no more than five meters away...
Terai raised his hand tremblingly and reached into his chest pocket for the first aid medicine.
I touched nothing.
...Damn it, my cardiovascular system was so healthy before that I didn’t even have the habit of keeping emergency medicine on hand, let alone blood pressure medication.
I reminded him that he should buy some to store in the future. The young master has obviously been targeted by this monster, and I feel that this medicine will be used sooner or later.
As the old man and the young man's pupils gradually trembled, Jiang Xia walked to the bar, passed by them, and sat in the empty seat next to them.
He did not take the initiative to greet Kidd.
Kidd slowly turned his head to look at it, and a "?" slowly appeared above his head.
This doesn't make sense. Mist Tengu actually pretends not to know him.
But Kidd thought again and felt that this was not too surprising.
After all, according to past experience, Mist Tengu would not appear before he succeeded. It was only after he stole the treasure that the monster brother would appear quietly and perform a skilled black-eating-black game.
Maybe it's the same this time.
However, compared to the various grand buildings in the past, the billiard hall was relatively small, and Mist Tengu couldn't find a suitable waiting place, so he simply sat down next to him...
When Kidd comforted himself that "it's stable", "no big problem", and "I can survive",
The bartender at the bar was also secretly looking at Jiang Xia who was wearing the Mist Tengu vest.
It was not uncommon to see people walking around in kimonos. Therefore, what concerned him more than the appearance was the huge object wrapped in cloth on the guest's back.
The bartender was curious but didn't ask directly as that would be rude to the customer.
He could only guess: Although the package was large, it didn't look heavy, so it shouldn't be a dangerous item like a machete or an axe. Well... if it wasn't a weapon, then it didn't matter, he could just carry whatever he wanted.
Bartenders work in places like this every day, and they must have met at least 80 weirdos. While he was guessing in his mind, he stood calmly in front of the table, waiting for Kiri Tengu to take his order.
Jiang Xia sat at the bar, quietly looking at the drink menu, also looking very calm.
But Kidd and Terai, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but feel uneasy when they saw this scene: Please don't ask for the jewel meal or dried human meat strips or something like that.
The owner of this store is no pushover, and Kidd had announced that he would be coming today, so the store must have been prepared.
If Mist Tengu really said that, it might be considered as someone who was causing trouble or was mentally ill, and would be carried out of the store by the security guards on the spot.
Kidd's head started to hurt when he thought of that scene - Mist Tengu was not a kind monster. He had thrown so many gems into it and finally helped the monster to restrain its cannibalistic desire by spending money on it. But now, what if the waiter drove Mist Tengu out and angered it...
Wait, since we’re taking an order, does Kiri Tengu have money to buy some wine?
Terai and Kidd looked at each other and their expressions suddenly changed.
A second later, old man Terai forced out an enthusiastic fake smile: "Let me treat you! It's rare to meet someone so congenial, haha, um..." He glanced at Mist Tengu and thought to himself that he should quickly give it a glass of grass juice.
…but I’m afraid of being beaten.
So he had to swallow his words and change the subject: "Give me a Bloody Mary." The color is more like blood, and the name is similar too, so maybe it can fool people.
Jiang Xia silently tilted his head and glanced at him. The name of this wine doesn't sound very good, it's better to have a double scoop of chocolate ice cream... But then he thought, puppets don't have taste buds, they can't taste anything, it doesn't matter what they eat.
So no comment.
Kidd and Terai breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The wine was quickly mixed and served.
Kidd observed secretly and found that Kiri Tengu was looking at the wine in the glass and sitting very quietly. He really looked like he was waiting quietly to be robbed. Only then did Kidd feel completely relieved and went to check the situation inside the store.
Next to her, Aoko Nakamori had a few cocktails and was a little drunk.
She looked at Mist Tengu and finally couldn't help asking curiously, "What's on your back?"
Kidd was startled, turned around and tried to change the subject.
But before that, Kiri Tengu glanced at Nakamori Aoko and said casually, "Cello."
Nakamori Aoko covered her mouth and burped a little. She looked at the "cello" in confusion, feeling that the shape was not right: "Why is the top bigger and the bottom smaller?"
Kiri Tengu took a sip of the wine and said, "I like to carry it backwards."
Terai: "..."
Kidd: “…”
Mist Tengu actually knows about cellos. Well, maybe he has eaten them before. Some commemorative cellos are also quite expensive, maybe he has included them in his recipes...
When Kidd found out that there was no problem with Mist Tengu, he let his worry go for the Nth time.
He didn't ask what Mist Tengu was here for - there was no need to ask, he was definitely here to rob him.
Compared to this, what Kidd is more concerned about right now is that the owner of this store has something to hide. After receiving the warning letter, he did not call the police or put an ad in the newspaper... So where did Mist Tengu get the news that "Kid will appear here"?
This monster wouldn't follow him every day...
Thinking of this, Kidd's expression remained unchanged, but his body shuddered honestly.
However, based on the principle of enjoying if you can't resist, think carefully, Mist Tengu is actually a good monster with good martial ethics, except for his love of robbery, so it might be safer this way...
While Kidd was confusedly thinking about his own safety, he moved his eyes and observed the billiard club.
His gaze gradually stopped on a luxurious gate.
That was the VIP hall. According to his investigation, Hasura Tojiro, who had defeated Terai in the past, was now playing billiards in there.
Kidd finished his ice cream in a few bites, wiped his hands, and felt that it was about time to get down to business.
He made up a bunch of excuses to sneak into the VIP hall and arrogantly began his performance - demanding a showdown with Renra Tojiro.
The owner of the billiard club watched for a while and found that Kidd was a complete layman in billiards, so he offered a price of ten thousand per game.
Kidd pretended to be having fun.
In the end, after losing all his money, he, like a brainless playboy, put Terai's shop on the table to bet on the jewel-studded King's golf cue.
…
Jiang Xia sat at the bar and waited for a while, when he suddenly felt some murderous aura emerging in the VIP hall.
