Tokyo Wrestler

"What new proposal? And you want to make an exception?"

“Well, generally only wild cultivators of level 4 or above can meet the requirements for this proposal, so it's an exception,” Ito Yumuri explained.

"Yashahime wants to invite you to become a temporary worker for the Heavenly Pillar, also known as an overseas dispatcher. You can disregard the Heavenly Pillar's orders and decide for yourself whether to obey them or not, but you must not break the law."

"At the same time, you can also enjoy the mission rewards of Tianzhu, as well as the right to purchase some merit items... but you cannot browse and learn the cultivation techniques of cultivators like normal Tianzhu members."

I think I understand. This is like hiring external staff, and the reward for the task is the external staff's salary... Sett asked, "What kind of tasks does Sky Pillar have?"

Ito Yumuri succinctly stated: "Slay free-spirited superhumans who endanger society, or superhumans from the Monster Association who overstep their bounds."

"The mission is to kill superhumans?" Sett's eyes lit up.

"Does your Tianzhu have a way to locate people with superpowers?"

"Yes," Ito Yumuri replied.

Seti pressed further, "How often do you usually encounter a superhuman?"

A strange look appeared in Ito Yumuri Akisui's eyes, but she still answered, "The frequency of superpowered individuals has increased a lot in the past year."

"This week in Nerima Ward, our team encountered two superhumans, both of whom are related to you... but before that, we would encounter a superhuman or a monster about once a week."

"The monster spawn rate is so high!" Sett pondered for a moment.

He found that Yasha-hime's suggestion suited him perfectly.

That is, by using the resources of Tianzhu, we can locate and find people with superpowers, and help them complete their first mission more quickly.

They could also be free from the constraints of the Heavenly Pillar and simply act as outsiders who were paid to do things.

Sett nodded and said, "Okay, I can accept this proposal."

"Hmm." Ito Yumuri didn't show any surprise, and nodded slightly in a very ordinary manner.

But she quickly asked again:

"Join my team as an expatriate."

"Can expatriate staff join your regular staff's teams?" Ser asked.

“Normally not, but my team can.” Ito Yumuri’s simple words revealed her impressive background.

"Is this the privilege of being a big dog?" Sett joked.

"That's fine. Just call me when a superhuman appears... But why did you invite me to join your team? Is it because I'm handsome?"

Seti still remembers the first time he met Ito Yumuri at the school gate.

At that moment, she stared intently at Sett through the dense crowd of students.

The second time they met at the corner of the alley, he kept looking them over as he got closer.

Ito Yumuri is being a little too concerned about him...

Facing Sett's straight punch, the emotionless girl Ito Yumuri showed no embarrassment whatsoever for a young woman in her prime. Her expression remained unchanged; she merely lowered her head slightly, her tone still cold.

"It's too dangerous for a level 2 cultivator to act alone."

The most perfectly legitimate reason.

After saying that, Ito Yumuri seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation.

She pulled out two jade-like chopsticks from a hidden compartment on the side of the bento box, held them with her equally fair hands, and pointed them directly at the sashimi inside the exquisite bento box.

As they got closer, Sett realized that the chopsticks in Ito Yumuri's hand were not jade.

Because jade is mostly brittle, if it were used to make chopsticks, they would probably break after only a few uses. What she had in her hand was some kind of unidentified stone that was as delicate as jade, and Sett couldn't recognize the specific type.

Noticing Sett's gaze, Ito Yumuri gently turned her head and offered a brief explanation:

"A poison testing device."

Bullfrog! Is this what a big family is like? Even chopsticks are magical artifacts! Sett once again felt the overwhelming, inhuman extravagance.

Then, Ito Yumuri picked up a thinly sliced ​​piece of tuna sashimi, wrapped it around a rice ball of the right size, dipped it in a little wasabi, and a simple sashimi sushi was ready.

Her cherry-like mouth was slightly parted, revealing the tips of her pearly white teeth. The simple sashimi sushi landed lightly on her soft red tongue. She pursed her red lips, chewed slowly, and swallowed without making any noise.

His every move exudes a refined and aloof air.

This was the first time Sett had ever seen a girl eat like this. After all, he usually saw his older sister wolfing down her food like a starving ghost.

Actually, he still prefers his older sister...

Sett put down the bucket of fried chicken and picked up the bento box at his feet.

Ito Yumuri has a sashimi bento box customized by her private chef, and Sett also has a loving bento box prepared by his mother, Nishimiya Akemi!

Sett lifted the lid of the bento box and glanced inside.

Well... the main dish is rice, with chocolate-flavored pickled vegetables as side dishes, and fried foods like fried silkworms sprinkled with salt.

After eating Sett for so many days, I've long since gotten used to my mom's amazing cooking!

Take out your chopsticks, scoop up some rice, and start showing off!

As Sett was showing off, he noticed out of the corner of his eye:

Ito Yumuri is looking at herself.

Seti looked up, following her gaze until it finally landed on the "Nishimiya Akemi Exclusive Customized Edition" chocolate chili sauce pickles.

Oh, I remember now, I showed this to her before... Seti moved the bento box toward Ito Yumuri and suggested, "Want to try some?"

Ito Yumuri hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he stretched out his chopsticks, placed the tips on the chocolate chili oil kimchi, and picked up a slightly smaller piece of kimchi wrapped in chocolate and chili flakes.

Just as I was about to put it back on my little rice ball.

The chopsticks in Ito Yumuri's hand, which could be used to test for poison, were gradually turning black!

Her small hand froze in mid-air.

She slowly raised her clear, bright eyes and silently gazed at Sett.

Sett also fell silent.

They stared at each other blankly.

Looking at the blackened chopsticks, Sett scratched his head, embarrassed, and said, "Mom's cooking is a bit unusual... but it's not poisonous, is it? Haha... no, no, no..."

Ito Yumuri glanced at the red oil and rice grains on Seti's lips.

In the end, he didn't say much.

Just like with sashimi, wrap kimchi around a mini rice ball, stuff it into your mouth and chew it slowly.

Chewing and chewing.

His usually cool eyes lit up for once!

Even his thin lips seemed to lift slightly, though the movement was still very small.

She swallowed it much faster than before, then hesitated for a moment before shifting her gaze to the kimchi in Seti's bento box. She didn't say a word, just stared at it.

"Do you still want to eat?" Sett realized he was slowly beginning to understand this emotionless girl's thoughts, so he said:

"Keep eating if you want, I can't eat that much by myself."

"Hmm." Although Ito Yumuri replied in a cold tone, her eager little hands revealed that her mood was not as calm as it seemed.

She then picked up several more slices of chocolate-infused kimchi...

At Sett's urging, he even tried a fried silkworm...

Ito Yumuri didn't stop until she had finished all the rice balls in her bento box.

She took out a handkerchief and elegantly wiped her red lips, then lifted the exquisite bento box that was resting on her lap with both hands and handed it to Sett, saying:

"You eat."

Seeing the exquisite sashimi inside that had barely been touched, Sett accepted it without any hesitation!

Ito Yumuri was also busy. She got up from the stone chair, smoothed out the hem of her skirt, squatted down in front of Seti, and pulled out a booklet from the third layer on the side of the bento box.

He handed it to Sett and said, "Here you go."

Sett looked at him in confusion.

The words "The Way of the Samurai" were written on it.

"The training methods of the Samurai path?" Se asked. "Isn't it said that dispatched personnel like me can't learn the Heavenly Pillar's techniques?"

Was she bribed with a meal of her mother's special chocolate pickles?

Ito Yumuri stood up and said, "You have a real talent for samurai."

A brief pause.

She seemed to think that wasn't enough, and added:

"The benefits of the Ito squad are that we don't need to worry about the Heavenly Pillar."

For an official organization like Tianzhu that practically governs all cultivators, a mere dismissive remark like "don't worry about it" was enough... Sett reached out and took the samurai manual, savoring the soft, melt-in-your-mouth marbled beef sashimi, and remarked:

What a powerful and wealthy woman!
