Chapter 367: Yurine's Arrival!
On the 18th, the main activity was eating and strolling. They checked out various local snacks along the food street and played quite a few hardcore games.
On the 19th, the style switched to exploring shops.
Transforming into shop exploration experts, they shuttled between various shops, experiencing different atmospheres and fun.
And on the evening of this day—
Yurine took the train from the human world to Jashin Capital.
It was 6:35 PM when she arrived, and the sky had long since turned dark. However, the streetlights and various neon lights rendered the station as bright as day.
"Ryohei-kun..."
In the North Square.
Yurine spotted Ryohei, who was spreading his arms and looking at her with a smile, at a glance. She couldn't help but trot over, jumping up and clinging to him like a koala.
"Welcome to Jashin Capital!"
Ryohei caught Yurine steadily, buried his head in her fair neck, and took a deep breath, an epic inhale into his lungs.
"Shouldn't I be the one saying that?"
Jashin-chan beside them put her hand on her waist backwards, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Ryohei.
"It's all the same."
"Alright, let's go eat first."
Lucoa clapped her hands lightly and suggested with a smile.
"Let's go—!"
"..."
The group got into the Jashin family's luxury car, talking and laughing—
Because Yurine was added, they switched to a seven-seater model today.
Jashin-chan still sat in the passenger seat, Ryohei and Yurine sat side by side in the second row, and Lucoa and Pekola sat in the third row.
"Did anything happen on your way here?"
Ryohei held Yurine's hand and asked gently.
"No."
Yurine smiled slightly: "It was just like taking an ordinary long-distance bus ride; the demons around didn't give me a second glance."
"That's good."
"Ryohei-kun being targeted by that werewolf two days ago, I think it's because Ryohei-kun is too famous."
Lucoa held her ample bosom, crossing her voluptuous long legs wrapped in black over-the-knee socks.
"Makes sense."
Pekola expressed agreement concisely.
"Maybe." Ryohei looked back and said pretentiously: "Excellent people are always prone to being惦記 (thought about/targeted)."
"Speaking of which... I'm always being惦記 by loan shark demons, it's really a headache," Jashin-chan said distressingly, with one arm crossed over her chest and the other hand stroking her cheek.
"Yours has nothing to do with being excellent!"
Ryohei looked at Jashin-chan, the corner of his mouth twitching, and complained: "But you really are a piece of work!"
"Pfft—!"
Yurine couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She covered her mouth with her left hand, her shoulders shaking with laughter.
(￣y▽￣)~
"Servant, you bastard..."
Jashin-chan's face changed instantly. She clenched her fist and glared at Ryohei through the rearview mirror unhappily:
"Next time I get blocked by debt collectors, I'll tell them you're my servant and make them ask you for money!"
"I definitely won't give it."
"Then I'll sell you to them!"
"Believe it or not, I'll slaughter you?" Yurine interjected with a smile.
"...Don't say such scary things!"
"..."
Chatting and bickering along the way, they soon arrived at the reserved restaurant—"The Corner"!
This was an old shop with a history of a thousand years, specializing in various venison dishes.
Naturally, it was recommended by the local, Jashin-chan.
The group filed in, checked the reservation information with the demon waiter, and was led to a private room.
This restaurant did not support ordering à la carte; it only provided a fixed venison set menu, consisting of ten dishes in total, served one by one in order.
The serving speed was quite fast!
Not long after the group sat down, a waiter brought the appetizer.
"Venison ham with bread slices, please enjoy!" The demon waiter introduced simply, then bowed and left.
"Dishes are served..."
Ryohei picked up his chopsticks and greeted everyone: "Let's start eating!"
After speaking, he first picked up a slice of extremely thinly cut dark red venison ham and dipped it lightly in the sauce dish.
"Let's eat, let's eat—!"
Others also moved their chopsticks.
"..."
Yurine had actually already had dinner on the train; special class seats provided free meals at meal times.
However, since Ryohei said he would take her for a big feast tonight, she only tasted a few bites symbolically, leaving ample space in her stomach.
Picking up a slice of venison ham now, dipping it in some sauce, and putting it into her mouth—
In an instant, a mixture of smoky aroma and the unique wild fragrance of venison rushed straight into her nasal cavity!
The flavor is so rich...
Yurine savored it carefully, feeling that the venison ham was firm in texture with a delicate chewiness. During the chewing process, the rich meat aroma and a nutty fragrance similar to roasted hazelnuts were slowly released.
That aroma intertwined and merged with the premium savory taste brought by the sauce in her mouth...
"Tastes pretty good." Yurine gave a positive review with a look of surprise.
"It also goes very well with the crispy bread slices."
Lucoa took a bite of the bread slice and chimed in with a smile.
"It's okay."
Ryohei also gave his evaluation.
"Right?"
Jashin-chan raised her chin from the side and took over the conversation: "By the way, my favorites in this shop are the roasted venison tenderloin and loin."
"The venison tenderloin is tender and juicy, the loin is firm yet chewy. When roasted just right, the surface sizzles, gleaming with enticing oil, paired with their special sauce..."
"That taste is simply superb!"
"Sounds delicious; you're making me crave it," Ryohei said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, venison seems to be an aphrodisiac?"
Lucoa tilted her head and said suggestively.
"Your focus is so weird!"
"..."
While they were talking, the second dish—Venison Blood Consommé—was served!
The serving speed was truly fast!
