The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 147 You caught my eye
When stepping out of the pool.

The sky was gradually turning dusk.

The four hungry people decided to have dinner in town before returning to the dormitory.

Just found a family restaurant.

Zun Zun ordered steak, Ikki Kurotsuji ordered udon noodles, and Ayase Ayatsuji ordered salmon set meal.

And Stella...

She ordered a set meal for four people and three steaks, and maybe she would also like to have some desserts later.

"F-Familyon's appetite is really huge..."

"I can't help it. If I don't eat so much, my body will get upset."

"You eat so much, but why are you still so slim... I can't accept it."

Ayatsuji Ayase was a little overwhelmed.

Even though Stella was aware that she was a big eater, her cheeks flushed and she looked a little embarrassed, but she continued to eat. She chewed the calorie-filled dinner in big mouthfuls.

"It's okay, Ayatsuji-senpai. Haven't you heard a saying?"

"what?"

"No, it's zero card!"

Zun Zun was also chewing the steak with big mouthfuls.

No, no.

That's not the case.

Ikki Kurogane really wanted to complain, but he knew that if he spoke up it might embarrass Stella, so he chose to just sit there and do nothing.

Ayase Ayatsuji couldn't help laughing as she watched Stella wolfing down her food. "I always feel like Familion-san doesn't look like a princess at all."

"Whose princess is a glutton?"

Zun Zun followed and finished off the enemy.

"…Hey! If you have any opinions, just say it!"

Stella chewed the steak in big mouthfuls, and it seemed more like she was gnawing on someone's flesh.

Ayatsuji Ayase quickly waved her hands and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, I just think you're approachable and the way you eat is no different from the way we eat."

"Of course I have learned table manners, but this isn't the right place for that kind of occasion."

Stella looked around.

It was dinner time and the family restaurant was packed with people.

The sound of cutlery rubbing against utensils, the footsteps of shop assistants and customers walking around, the crying of parents and children, and the laughter of students who had no regard for others around them.

There was noise all around.

If you dine elegantly in a place like this, you will be looked at and criticized as a weirdo.

"Whether it's table manners or swordsmanship, you must be able to use it flexibly according to the time and occasion to truly master this skill. Yes, just like the Royal Swordsmanship of Famillion!"

Stella glared at Zun Zun sharply.

Apparently, she was still struggling with the ridicule she received about her swordsmanship at the swimming pool.

She thought she would be counterattacked, but Zun Zun seemed not to hear her and just ate her steak. This made Stella very depressed, and she ordered three more plates of steak in anger.

“Hahaha…I’m so ashamed.”

Ayatsuji Ayase laughed happily. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had been so happy.

That’s right, ever since my father was admitted to the hospital…

"Haha, it really is. I was just thinking that this face looks so familiar, it really is Ayase."

Suddenly a rough male voice was heard.

At this moment, Ayase Ayase's eyes widened in surprise, and her originally happy expression changed instantly.

There is a man in front of my sight.

He is about 180 cm tall, with dyed hair. Even wearing sunglasses cannot hide his hideous three-white eyes.

The open chest revealed a skull tattoo, which seemed to be grinning and oppressing the guests around. Both the waiter and the guests dodged.

"I was wondering why I hadn't seen you recently, but I didn't expect to see you here."

“Haha, what a wonderful combination.”

"Isn't this Ayase? Long time no see~"

"Hey, hey, the Tibetan is talking to you, and you're pretending not to see it? Are you getting too arrogant, huh?!"

After the skeleton man, about ten young men who were noisy with him and looked like thugs gathered in front of Zun Zun and his table.

They seemed to know Ayase Ayatsuji.

But Ayase Ayase never dared to look at that group of people. She just lowered her head... and bit her lower lip, as if she was enduring something.

This scene says it all.

Zun Zun paused for a moment while holding the knife and fork, and slowly said, "I'm telling you guys, stop pretending in front of me. You're disturbing my eyes."

"What the hell are you!?"

"If you say something stupid again, I'll kill you!"

The followers began to provoke Zun Zun who was sitting inside, but Zun Zun never opened his eyes to look at them from beginning to end, and concentrated on the steak in front of him.

Ikki Kurogane knew it was time for him to take action.

"I'm sorry, you're causing trouble to my companions. Could you please leave?"

Even though his words were polite, he was facing a group of thugs and was still insulted and provoked.

But Ikki Kurogane ignored these people. There was only one person he needed to face - the skeleton man named Zangren.

Then, the skeleton man looked at him playfully and asked a strange question.

"…You are a swordsman, right?"

"Can you tell?"

"Ha, I discovered it without realizing it, because you have a unique temperament."

The skeleton man said.

At the same time, he reached out and picked up the beer bottle and glass from the table next to him, poured the beer into the glass and slid it in front of Kurogane Ikki.

"Sorry to bother you guys. I saw a familiar face and I just casually started a conversation with you. This is a small token of my apology. Please accept it."

"Ah, sorry."

Although I really want to complain that this is not your beer bar, it is better not to provoke him at this time.

As Kurogane Ikki made this judgment, he reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table.

Right at this moment.

The skeleton man suddenly raised the beer bottle and swung it hard at the back of Kurogane Ikki's head. With a snap, the beer bottle broke into pieces and flew everywhere.

After being beaten so severely, Ikki Kurogane fell flat on the table.

"Ikki!"

"Kurotetsu-san!"

Stella and Ayase Ayatsuji screamed.

骷髅男把破碎的啤酒瓶随手一丢，舔着舌头挑衅道：“老子最喜欢把你这种剑术小鬼给揍的不成人形，来打一场吧！拿出你的灵装！”

He took out a large sword.

The blade has serrations and is pure white without any metallic luster, just like white bones.

Very familiar.

It is very similar to Abarai Renji's Snaketail Maru.

The rouge-colored shirt worn by the skeleton man is exactly the uniform of the knight school, Tanlang Academy, which is also located in Tokyo.

Apparently he is also a swordsman.

“You bastard—!”

Stella stood up suddenly, her hair starting to emit phosphorescent light out of anger.

"Stop it, Stella."

Kurogane Ikki grabbed her hand that was about to summon her inherent spiritual equipment and said, "There's no need to make such a fuss. His hand just slipped accidentally."

“W-What are you talking about!?”

"I just got a little head injury and my clothes got wet, it's no big deal."

At this moment, a streak of blood slowly slid down Kurogane Ikki's head.

This is even more ridiculous.

If someone provokes you or even hurts you, shouldn't you fight back? Stella didn't say it, but her eyes showed this thought. Kurogane Ikki was equally helpless.

If she took out her inherent spiritual equipment in a place like this, or even caused a big fight, it would not be enough to just suspend her from school. Stella would definitely be expelled, so she stopped it.

But this was laughed at instead.

"Hahaha--"

"Hey, is this true? He can still laugh after being hit on the head!"

"No matter how scared you are, it's too undignified."

Temporarily avoiding the spotlight is seen as a cowardly act of not daring to face the strong.

But Ikki Kurogane still didn't react. He just smiled bitterly and planned to let the matter go with the wind.

The skeleton man suddenly spat in his face.

"you!"

Stella's rage grew again, and Kurogane Ikki suppressed her even harder.

Up to now, Ikki was still lukewarm, and the skeleton man looked bored with his attitude.

"Ha! This is so boring. This kind of cowardly fight lowers my style. Hey, let's get out of here."

He turned and walked out of the store.

"Bye, coward~"

"You are so lucky. Tibetans are not interested in bullying weaklings."

The followers made sarcastic remarks.

They were about to leave, but suddenly a bald man saw Zun Zun sitting inside.

its not right.

Just now, the guy outside was the one being humiliated, while the one inside was treated like a quail. How can this be possible?

Especially after he saw Zun Zun's appearance, he began to have inappropriate thoughts.

"Hey, you guys..."

"what?"

"that!"

The bald man pointed at Zun Zun without saying anything, but the other hooligans immediately understood what he wanted to express.

After looking at each other, they saw the evil desire in each other's eyes.

"Hey, kid, even though the Tibetans won't bother with you, we didn't say we'd let you go."

"That's right, that's right."

"But it's not impossible to let you go. Just lend it to us to play with. Don't worry, we will return it to you tomorrow morning. Hehehe..."

A bunch of brainless idiots.

Maybe in their eyes, the Skeleton Man dared not talk back to Kurogane Ikki when he provoked him so much, so he was obviously a coward without balls. So it was easy to snatch a person away.

The bald man reached out his hand impatiently.

His profile already made his heart flutter, if it was his front face——

"Uh……!"

He saw a face that was enough to stop his heart.

But the bald man felt that what made his heart stop was not her appearance, but her pair of slightly glowing scarlet eyes.

Just by being glanced at, he felt as if a disaster was about to happen. A chill spread throughout his body, and he withdrew his hand with lingering fear as if he had been electrocuted.

"Hey, why are you so scared?"

"me……"

Pushed by his companions, the bald man woke up from his dream, shook his body, opened his mouth but said nothing, and ran out of the restaurant with a terrified look on his face and staggering steps.

"Hey! What's wrong with this guy?"

"Tsk, forget it, let's go too."

The remaining two hurriedly chased after him.

what happened?
Kurogane Ikki and others were confused.

Stella said angrily: "Yihui, you actually let that bastard do whatever he wants. You deliberately didn't avoid the beer bottle just now. What were you thinking?"

"If I dodge, it might anger them. I can't let them cause trouble here."

“That being said… even if Ikki doesn’t use his inherent spiritual equipment, he can still beat those little thugs to the point of crying and screaming, right?”

"That's hard to say."

"What do you mean?"

"The man in the middle with the skull tattoo is quite strong. It's unlikely that I can defeat him with my bare hands."

Kurogane Ikki is so humble.

At this time-

"Yes, just as you thought. After all, he was one of the top eight in the Seven Star Sword Festival last year."

"!?"

A young man with an unusually cheerful tone suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.

Ikki Kurogane and Stella showed expressions of horror at the same time, because the owner of the voice suddenly appeared in front of them. He did not make any sound, and even no breath could be felt. It was as if the movie being played was suddenly switched to another movie.

The person had messy dark silver hair and dull golden eyes. He was petite and looked like an elementary school student.

It was the vice president of the Student Union.

Yufu Bubble said with a smile: "Haha, you are so unlucky that you were entangled by him. That guy is the swordsman killer Kurashiki Kurato, the ace of Tanlang Academy. He is a mad dog. No matter who he targets, he will bite him and make him covered in wounds."

“Hehehe… Indeed.”

With an all too palpable breath, another actor enters the scene.

This is a tall woman.

Although he was in the store, he was wearing a sun hat with a wide brim and holding an umbrella.

Although her eyes were covered by the brim of the hat, from the outline of her chin and the beautiful waves of her bright blonde hair, one could imagine how neat and pretty her face was underneath the brim.

However, several people treated it as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Although she was dressed in a pure white bell-shaped dress, like a noble lady, the overly strong scent of blood lingered around the noses of several people, and no amount of perfume could cover up the smell.

The Secretary of the Student Union is Bifang Guideyuan.

The second-ranked knight in Pojun Academy, known as the Scarlet Lady.

She whispered gently, "If you start making a scene, I'll have to suppress everyone present."

"However, maybe someone has already been punished." Yufu Foam looked out the window through the transparent glass of the family restaurant.

At this moment, a dump truck was rushing on the street and hit the bald man.

Although it was not very clear due to the lighting, I could still see a human figure being knocked away for more than ten meters like a torn rag and falling heavily to the ground.

There was chaos on the street, with screams and shouts coming one after another.

“Wow, that’s tragic.”

"I'm not using my inherent spiritual equipment."

"I understand. Bottom-out mechanism, right?"

"Vice President, you understand a lot."

"Haha, I totally understand!"

The two of them smiled knowingly. Unlike the fake smile just now, Yufu Paopao's smile was very sincere now. Zun Zun was indeed to his liking.

Afterwards, the Imperial Purification Foam showed off its skills a little.

He healed Ikki Kurogane's wounds and left with Kanata Takashi.

Seeing the two people leave, Ikki Kurogane looked at the setting sun shining through the window and the disastrous car accident scene, and couldn't help but sigh.

This night was like a devil's hour.

But what concerned him more was Ayase Ayase's reaction just now. It was as if—

Ding Ding Ding!
Before he could even open his mouth to ask, a message came through the student handbook, and it was from him and Ayase Ayase, so he immediately had a very bad feeling.

Open it and take a look.

[The opponent for Ikki Kurogane's 13th tryout has been officially decided. The opponent is third-year student Ayase Ayatsuji.]

Honestly, the timing is terrible.
