The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 780: The Bizarre Adventure of Shichijo Masato Part 13 ()

Three new people have arrived, and this time they are also old acquaintances of everyone.

Wei Bo greeted everyone very politely: "Sorry for waiting."

Suzuki pushed up his glasses and said, "Hello, everyone."

Anna said lazily: "You are still the same."

"Suzuki-san." Inuyama Heita nodded to Suzuki. Since it was a dinner party, the remaining employee of the office certainly could not be absent.

"Ms. Suzuki!" Nanajo Masato's eyes lit up, and he immediately wanted to make way, but Suzuna had already patted the seat next to her and called out first, "Little one, and Sister Anna and Ms. Miwa, come this way~"

The three of them sat down next to Suzuna.

Xingchangrang sighed and asked Qian Xiaoyi secretly, "Why did you invite that woman too? It really spoils the fun."

Qian Xiaoyi knew who he was referring to, so he replied, "Anna was also the one who helped us deal with Lai Shan successfully before. She has nothing to do with the Hundred Ghosts. I think she can be trusted. Besides, we also need a charlatan to help predict the traps in the ghost realm. You also know her ability, right?"

Xingchang Rang snorted coldly and met Anna's mocking gaze. The two of them looked at each other with disgust and turned their heads away at the same time.

"Finally there's no one here, right? Let's eat!" Xingchang decided to turn his dissatisfaction into appetite and ate a lot.

"There are more people coming." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile, "But since everyone is hungry, let's eat first, otherwise the meat will be overcooked."

"Oh~"

"cheers!"

Not long after everyone started eating and drinking, the door of the private room was opened again, but this time it was not the waiter who came in, but two unexpected guests who stunned everyone except Qian Xiaoyi.

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting... I said, just start now!" Tachibana Mio, who was dressed beautifully, put her hands on her hips and said in a pretended angry manner.

This time, she did not dress up in disguise like she did when she first went to Lingkong Agency. Instead, she wore a simple yet fashionable halter-neck vest and a furry beret on her head. This outfit was quite reminiscent of her former idol style.

"Hello...everyone." The inconspicuous girl next to her also greeted everyone stiffly.

"You are... Tachibana Mio?!" Terao Yu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets! Although he knew that Tachibana Mio had helped Qian Xiaoyi and the others before, seeing the former popular idol appear here still shocked Terao Yu, a young man from a small town.

Everyone present stopped what they were doing and stared at Tachibana Mio in a daze. Suzuna hurriedly looked at her clothes and thought, "Why is this happening? Didn't Qian Xiaoyi say this guy was coming too? I should have worn a different outfit if I had known. Doesn't this make me look too unfashionable? Now I'm outdone!"

Because they were going to have barbecue, and because they were all familiar faces, Suzuna was dressed very simply this time, just a slim-fitting T-shirt and jeans.

Next to her, Takuya's eyes were wide open, and he looked quite at a loss.

"Oh! Are you here?" Qian Xiaoyi stood up and broke the silence. He came to Tachibana Mio and introduced her, "Ms. Tachibana, everyone should know her. Last time at WTV, she also made great efforts and is our comrade-in-arms. As for the one next to her, everyone should have seen her, Miss Usami, who was the key to our success in defeating Laishan." "Hello, everyone..." Usami Sakura bowed deeply to everyone a little embarrassedly and said, "Thank you for your help last time, otherwise I'm afraid I will always live in the shadow. Thank you very much."

As she spoke she began to sob.

Tachibana Mio explained: "Sakura has been wanting to come over to thank everyone, but she just came back from the United States and has only recently settled those things, so she has never had the chance."

"Okay, okay, those things are in the past." Qian Xiaoyi comforted: "Ms. Usami, you don't have to go through that painful life anymore. This is a good thing. Come sit down and have barbecue with everyone."

"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Qian." Usa Mi Sakura said, "I heard from Xiao Mio that if it weren't for you, the devil Lai Shan would probably continue to be at large."

"Haha, this is not just the result of my hard work." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Besides, I have accepted the commission after all. I can get the money. There is no need to be so polite. Anyway, please sit down quickly. If you two don't sit down, I'm afraid no one will dare to pick up their chopsticks."

Tachibana Mio said openly: "Is that so? I saw you guys were having a great time eating before~ Haha, just kidding, don't worry about us, just continue."

The two of them also sat down on the girls' side, and the party continued. At first, everyone was a little reserved because of the arrival of their former idol, but as Qian Xiaoyi took the lead in fighting for the barbecue on the grill, the atmosphere became lively again, and everyone became a little noisy, just like in the other private rooms in the store.

After drinking a few glasses, Suzuna started to act crazy and pestered Tachibana Mio, insisting on singing with her. Tachibana Mio was not stage-frightened and showed the basic skills she had practiced for many years. Together with Suzuna, she pushed the atmosphere to a more enthusiastic stage, and everyone else applauded.

Only Masato Shichijo, Heita Inuyama and Suzuki were still busy eating. Suzuki and Heita Inuyama simply wanted to eat more things that they couldn't usually eat. Moreover, they were high school students and couldn't drink alcohol, so they couldn't get along with the others.

When Shichijo Masato saw Tachibana Mio, he remembered that he was almost forced into marriage before, and felt a little embarrassed. And the mention of the WTV incident was like a reminder that he still owed Xiaoyi a large commission, and he was not able to pay such a large sum of money now.

The atmosphere gradually reached a climax, and everyone was eating happily. Amid the noise, Xingchang asked Qian Xiaoyi, "Is this our team this time? It's really luxurious. In the past, I'm afraid no one could afford so many experts."

Qian Xiaoyi ate some side dishes and said, "We have never had to deal with enemies of the Hundred Ghosts level before... and don't forget, we also need to deal with our leader."

"I start to get a headache when I talk about that... Forget it, let's not talk about work now! Come on, cheers!" Xingchang Rang shook his head and clinked his glass with Qian Xiaoyi's.

After Qian Xiaoyi and Hoshiba Rang finished their glass, they looked towards Inuyama Heita, Nanajo Masato and Terao Iku.

This dinner, in addition to strengthening the relationship among everyone, was actually a special training.

If these three guys get too deeply involved in the supernatural and forget what it feels like to live a normal life, they will definitely suffer a great loss.

Although this is just an ordinary gathering, it is precisely this [ordinariness] that can be the most solid anchor point in reality. This is an omnipresent positive force.

As long as you don't forget the ordinariness of this kind of life, then no matter how terrible those unreal things are, they cannot hurt you.

"I hope these three guys won't forget this feeling." Qian Xiaoyi thought silently, "Especially this guy Nanajo Masato, he will have a difficult task to give him when the time comes."
