The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 779: The Bizarre Adventure of Shichijo Masato Part 12 ()

Feeling that the three of them had almost found their place in reality, Qian Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Not bad. I thought that at least one of you three would fail this test and tear up the talisman and escape back... Then, we can start the next step."

Nanajo Masato was dumbfounded: "Is there a next step? Isn't that all?"

Just buying some French fries was so difficult, and Nanajo Masato was not sure if he could handle the next project. After examining himself just now, he felt very tired.

Qian Xiaoyi said as a matter of course: "Isn't that natural? The previous session was at best just an initial test session. If you can't even pass this kind of test, then the subsequent special training will not be effective."

The three of them looked depressed, and Inuyama Heita asked, "Um...what are we going to do next?"

"Are you full?" Qian Xiaoyi suddenly asked.

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads. Although the fried potatoes were indeed filling, they were far from being full. Instead, they felt like they were still not satisfied and wanted to eat more.

Qian Xiaoyi snapped his fingers and said, "Then let's go eat barbecue. This is the next special training."

"Eh? Barbecue?" The three of them were stunned. The first thing they thought of was not the delicious barbecue that most people talk about. If this word was combined with Qian Xiaoyi's [special training]...

"Could this be the case?" In Nanajo Masato's mind, there emerged a scene where they entered an illusion and put themselves on an iron plate to be roasted.

"Can that be eaten?!" The scene that appeared in Terao Yu's mind was that they caught a ghost, tied it to a campfire, roasted it, and then cut it into pieces and ate it.

Inuyama Heita's first thought was, "Who will pay?"

Qian Xiaoyi, not knowing what was going on in the three people's minds, called out to them, "Don't just stand there, it's almost time for dinner, let's go early, that restaurant is very popular!"

It wasn't until they sat in the private room of the barbecue restaurant and saw the table full of chopped ingredients and large glasses of beer that the three of them reacted.

"We're really eating barbecue!" Nanajo Masato was shocked! The other two also looked at Qian Xiaoyi in surprise.

Terao Yu asked, "Are there no other rules?"

"We don't need to extract the souls and roast them on top, right?" Inuyama Heita asked tentatively.

Qian Xiaoyi touched his forehead and shook his head: "What kind of image do you have of me in your hearts..."

The three of them remained silent. In case Qian Xiaoyi suddenly jumped up the next second and said that they were right, they would not be surprised at all. In short, they might pay the price of their lives to eat this high-quality barbecue.

When he thought of this, the high-quality beef in front of him, which was fat and lean and looked like marbling, lost its appeal. And for some reason, although there were only four of them here, this room was a large private room that could accommodate more people, and it was also a very expensive one. What on earth was Xiao Yi/Brother Yi going to do?
"What are those expressions on your faces?" Qian Xiaoyi was furious. "I finally treated you guys to a good meal, and you didn't even say 'thank you, brother Yi', but you actually doubted me!"

With a loud bang, the door of the box was suddenly opened.

"Oh, it seems I'm here at the right time. You haven't started yet, right?" Xingba Rang walked in, followed by Liuliyuan Hiroaki and Guifu Ryumitsu.

"Excuse me." Ruriin Hiroaki greeted them, and Kito Ryuko nodded to them. Terao Yu was surprised and asked, "Eh? You guys are here too?"

The three newcomers sat down, and Xingchang asked curiously, "What do you mean we're here too? Didn't Xiaoyi send a notice asking us to come over for dinner? Oh, so ordering so much barbecue, are you really treating us, Xiaoyi?"

It is quite popular to go AA in Japan. He also knows that the Chinese custom is that the person who initiates the party pays the bill. He doesn't mind paying his share, but he is a little worried that such a big table will cost Qian Xiaoyi a lot of money.

The others also looked at Qian Xiaoyi.

Qian Xiaoyi proudly took out a stack of beautiful paper from his bag and said, "Clang clang clang~ These are vouchers from this store. A client from my office gave me so many vouchers in addition to the commission fee to thank me. If I don't use them, they will expire soon..."

"Tell me earlier!"

"You made us worry for so long!"

Nanajo Masato and Terao Iku started to yell, and at the same time, they put down the stone in their hearts. It seemed that this time it was not a strange and difficult torture. However... Didn't Qian Xiaoyi agree to special training? Why did he start to treat everyone to a meal and have a dinner party?

"Ah! Heitaro, have you already started?" Nanajo Masato discovered that the moment Qian Xiaoyi said those words, Inuyama Heita had already started grilling the raw meat on the grill in front of him.

Inuyama Heita stared at the sizzling barbecue in front of him and kept swallowing his saliva.

Ken, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly appeared beside him, commanding Inuyama Heita, saying, "This, and that! And beef tongue, too. It goes perfectly with rice when dipped in soy sauce!"

"Damn it, everyone here is an acquaintance. In that case, I won't be polite!" Xingchang Rang also started grilling meat.

Seeing this, everyone started to act, even Master Gui Teng, who had been silent, started working silently.

Qian Xiaoyi said helplessly: "There are still many... and everyone hasn't arrived yet, you are really... Hey! Don't eat that piece, Zhengren, it's not cooked yet!"

The private room began to get noisy. The eating manners of the other people were OK, but the performance of Shichijo Masato and Inuyama Heita was the most exaggerated. It had been a long time since these two had eaten such a hearty barbecue. If they didn't let Qian Xiaoyi bleed hard this time, they would have no chance next time!
"Oh~ Everyone is here, sorry I'm late."

"Ah! Have you all started eating yet? How cunning!"

The sliding door was opened again, and Kongou and Suzuna arrived.

Inuyama Heita said in surprise: "Everyone is here? What day is today?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "What day? It's just an ordinary day. Can't we call some friends to have a good meal together? Oh, this piece of meat should be cooked. It belongs to me."

He quickly snatched a piece of grilled meat in front of Inuyama Heita, dipped it in the sauce and stuffed it into his mouth. The perfect tenderness made the meat juice burst in his mouth. The fresh beef had no peculiar smell after being roasted, but instead filled his nose with the aroma of butter. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it, then drank a sip of ice beer~
"Ha~~~" Qian Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes, put down the empty cup, and exclaimed: "Great!"

Inuyama Heita said sadly: "I baked it myself..."
