"But... why does it feel a little different?"
Yukino Fuyuki also looked puzzled, her icy blue eyes filled with curiosity.
Generally speaking, humans experience a period of adjustment when they come to fear monsters.
It seems like nothing happened to the General.
"What's different?"
Aoba felt the icy cold sensation on his body and looked at Yuki-onna with some surprise.
"Well... Lord Aoba, you don't seem to have changed much."
"Changes? Yes..."
Aoba reached out and flicked his hand slightly towards Kasumigaoka, which was closest to him.
next second.
"Hiss~! Ee~"
The girl immediately let out a somewhat surprised sound.
"Manager!!"
Feeling the coolness on his forehead, Kasumigaoka glared at him angrily.
There are so many people here!
There are even teachers here; her aloof and sophisticated persona is about to crumble!
"Ahem... Kasumigaoka-kun, are you alright?"
Aoba quickly smiled and raised his hands in surrender.
He didn't go too far; he just flicked the girl's forehead with that force.
"Hmph~ The shop manager is going too far!!"
The girl blushed and turned her head away, not wanting to talk to him.
"Sorry, but how about Kasumigaoka-san gets the meal for free today?"
"Eh~!? Aoba, you've gone too far!"
When Hiratsuka Shizuka saw Kasumigaoka blushing and hiding next to Mitsuha, she felt a pang of bitterness, as if something had been stolen from her.
He rushed to the bar in a few strides and swiftly struck Aoba on the head with a chop.
Boom~!
The crisp sound left Aoba somewhat helpless.
"hiss--"
A gasp immediately escaped Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips.
"Be careful!"
Seeing this, Aoba had no choice but to step forward and gently apply an ice pack to Hiratsuka Shizuka.
"Why is your head so hard these days?!"
The woman looked at Qingye's face, which was so close to hers, and spoke with a hint of grievance in her voice.
She's the one who's known Aoba the longest, so why did she lose to her own student?!
Even if she loses to Yukino-sensei, she can accept it.
Kasumi Hill.
Hiratsuka Shizuka would never admit defeat!
"Is it my fault for being stubborn?"
Aoba gently blew a breath towards the reddened hand blade.
The cool, refreshing wind quickly calmed Hiratsuka Shizuka down.
"Hey!"
"what happened again!?"
"How long are you going to hold my hand? Yukino-sensei is watching!"
The usually carefree Hiratsuka Shizuka realized at this moment that she and Aoba were a little too close.
He quickly withdrew his hand and muttered as he returned to his seat.
"What? Did I disturb you?"
Yukino Yukari rested her chin on her hand, a maternal smile on her face.
"How could that be!? Yukino-sensei is joking..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled dryly and quickly hid her hands under the table.
His gaze kept lingering on Kasumigaoka in the corner, glancing at her one moment and then down at himself the next.
Girls these days develop way too fast!
"What? Feeling like you can't keep up with the students?"
Teacher Yukino smiled and took a sip of the beer that Aoba had just served.
Her face was flushed with the smell of alcohol, and even her breath made Hiratsuka Shizuka a little nervous.
She quickly waved her hands and shook her head: "No! Absolutely not!!"
How could I possibly admit to something like this!
It would be too embarrassing for me to lose to my students.
As she pondered this, her gaze unconsciously drifted to Qingye in the kitchen.
"Do you need the teacher's help?"
When Yukino Yukari saw Hiratsuka Shizuka's appearance, she seemed to be reminded of her past feelings and felt inexplicably sad.
"How can I help? Teacher, you're not even married yourself."
"Of course, I'll help you make it a fait accompli."
The playful banter between the two mature women finally allowed Kasumigaoka and Mitsuha at the other table to completely relax.
"Mitsuba, are you really a shrine maiden?"
Having gradually calmed her emotions, Kasumigaoka looked at Mitsuha across from her with great curiosity.
In her previous understanding, weren't shrine maidens supposed to be sacred and inviolable?
She is completely different from Mitsuha.
"Uh...yes."
Mitsuha answered weakly.
“Every girl in my family’s shrine has been a shrine maiden.”
"So you guys really know how to exorcise demons or something?"
"I don't know much about this... hehehe."
The shrine passed down through generations of the Miyamizu family seems to have no record of this knowledge at all.
Even her grandmother had only told her the general legends about monsters, shrine maidens, and onmyoji; she had never even seen a monster before.
I don't know much more about Kasumigaoka.
All I could do was force a dry laugh.
"Alright, Jie, here's your meal, it's all packed up."
During a rare moment of quiet, Qingye packed up enough pork rib stew for twenty people in the kitchen.
A whole big bag full.
"Can it be done?"
He lifted it without any effort, but he didn't seem to have much strength.
"Do not worry."
With a smile, Jie carried the large bag with one hand and took out a stack of yen from his pocket, placing it on the table.
"Manager, we'll be leaving now!"
"Well, be careful."
Aoba smiled and said goodbye to the two of them.
I guess it's his first mission, so he's probably excited.
He collected the yen on the table, which was undoubtedly too much, but he was already used to the generosity of Jie and her group.
"Wow, there are so many people today?"
"Aoba, yakisoba!"
Saitama arrived unusually early today.
He looked at the crowd in front of him, chuckled foolishly, and then sat down near the door.
Behind him, there seemed to be another person who looked rather strange.
"Saitama, so early today?!"
"And who is this?"
Aoba looked at Saitama at the door and the serious-looking man behind him, somewhat surprised.
"Genos, he insisted on coming along!" (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
Saitama looked somewhat helpless.
Even though it was evening and he was already off work, he was still thinking about eating Aoba's hair growth dishes.
"Genos? He's an S-class hero from the Hero Association!?"
