All my hunting commissions come from another world?

"This is Chef Uesugi Koshi; his ramen is absolutely delicious!"

Upon hearing Zhou Si's words, Uesugi Yue was initially surprised, then carefully examined the girl's appearance.

Because of her hair color and the slight makeup she wore, Uesugi Yue didn't immediately recognize her, but upon closer inspection, the girl did indeed seem to be the same person as the one in yesterday's photo.

Upon closer inspection, the shrine maiden outfits they were wearing were also the same style...

Now, it's Uesugi Kotsugi who's in an awkward position.

"Haha, it's just the price of a few bowls of noodles."

"Since you brought your people along, I'll treat you to ramen tonight too."

Uesugi waved his hand dismissively. Anyway, he wasn't really making money from ramen. He found these two young people quite agreeable, so he decided to treat it as charity.

It's definitely not to change the subject.

"Thank you, master!"

Erii held up her notebook and expressed her gratitude to Uesugi Koshi.

"This kid..."

Uesugi Yue stared blankly at the words on the notebook. Zhou Si shook his head gently at him, and Uesugi Yue swallowed the rest of his words.

"Looks like I'll have to bring out my best today. You two are in for a treat."

Uesugi changed the subject abruptly, humming as he walked to the back of the food cart, his hair standing on end. It seemed he had to get serious today.

Skillfully, he retrieved the ingredients from under the counter, and under those aged yet incredibly steady hands, the ingredients gradually transformed into mouthwatering delicacies.

Having witnessed the appetites of these boys yesterday, Uesugi Kotsushi is prepared for a fierce battle.

But to his surprise, there was more than one bottomless pit here.

After Erii finished eating dozens of bowls of ramen, Uesugi Yue and Zhou Si fell silent for a moment.

"How can someone with such a slender body eat so much?"

Zhou Si blurted it out subconsciously, and Uesugi Yue in the dining car immediately gave her a strange look.

How dare you say that about her?

Zhou Si read these words from Uesugi's master's eyes.

"You two are really a good match."

A dozen minutes later, Uesugi Yue looked at the stack of noodle bowls piled high beside the two of them and the empty cabinets and sighed.

So, Chapter Seven is saying you're really good at fighting?

As night deepened, Zhou Si and Master Uesugi chatted casually. Perhaps it was because older people tend to be more talkative, but Uesugi Yue seemed very interested in their relationship.

"You young people must cherish your time."

As they chatted, Uesugi poured himself a glass, looking at the two young people in front of him with deep emotion. He thought that if they didn't cherish the friendship they had in their youth, they would definitely regret it when they got old.

For example, him...

Well, he was a simple-minded jerk when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't be all alone now.

The cold night wind brushed against Erii's hair as she sat obediently to the side, listening to the conversation between the two. Although the hunter and the ramen chef's words were a bit difficult to understand, Erii still listened with great interest.

This is something she will never experience while staying in the hospital ward.

"Young man, would you like some too?"

"No, I don't drink."

Zhou Si waved her hand and declined Uesugi's offer. Before she knew it, it was quite late again, but Erii still seemed very energetic. Judging from her schedule, she was a little night owl.

"Eri, let's..."

Zhou Si stood up, intending to leave with Erii, but he suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

An unusual smell filled the air, and rustling sounds, like reptiles moving, came from all directions, reminding Zhou of the uninvited guests from the previous night.

He glanced at Erii beside him; she was looking at Zhou Si obediently, waiting for his next instructions.

These things were for Erii, but they were clearly not with the people from Genji Heavy Industries during the day. It seemed that Erii had more secrets than he had imagined.

'Perhaps it's time to learn more about this world; this task is more complex than I imagined.'

Zhou Si sighed inwardly, thinking that the Hunter's Book had finally reformed.

I glanced at the time; it was exactly nine o'clock. I needed to quickly deal with these guys so I could find a place to stay for the night.

Zhou Si put down her phone and said gently to Erii:

"Eri, wait for me here for a moment, I have something to take care of."

Erii, dressed as a certain red and white shrine maiden, raised her small notebook.

"Mr. Hunter, please be careful."

Zhou Si looked at the words above with some surprise. It seemed that Erii herself was not as simple as he had thought.

"Xiaobai, Erii is in your care. I'll be right back."

After placing Bai into Erii's arms, Zhou Si turned and walked towards the direction of the sound.

A hint of doubt flashed in Uesugi Yue's eyes as he watched Zhou Si suddenly leave, but that doubt quickly turned into surprise, because he also noticed the approaching things, which were gathering in the direction Zhou Si had left. If it weren't for this, Uesugi Yue would have had a hard time noticing them.

"How did these guys suddenly appear here, and..."

Zhou Si has clearly noticed them, which makes his identity quite intriguing.

Erii was playing with Shiro in front of the stall, seemingly unaware of everything. Uesugi Kotsuki suddenly remembered that this girl seemed to be related to the Snake-Headed Hachike family.

I initially thought they were just an ordinary young couple, but now it seems things aren't that simple.

Uesugi Kotsu walked silently to the back of the food cart, took out his phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, a strong, elderly voice came from the other end.

Why did you suddenly contact me?

"Ahe, is there a girl in your family named Uesugi Erii?"

"...What?!!"

......

"Now I'm the one left to gather the monsters."

Noticing that those guys were all heading towards him, Zhou Si chose a quiet spot and waited patiently for them to arrive.

Soon, dozens of humanoid figures emerged from the shadows all around. Without exception, they all looked similar to the Deadpools seen last night. However, compared to those from yesterday, these seemed to retain some rationality and did not rashly attack Zhou Si.

Instead, they surrounded Zhou Si, leaving only one gap.

A figure walked out from the empty spot.

It was a slender figure dressed in gorgeous clothes, with half of his face covered by a mask. He had a soft jawline and fair skin. He slowly emerged from the shadows with light, dance-like steps. If Zhou Si hadn't seen his prominent Adam's apple, he probably would have mistaken him for a woman.

"What the heck, a effeminate man?"

Zhou Si blurted it out subconsciously, then immediately shut up. He'd been surfing with the "caged bird" online too much lately and had picked up a bunch of lame jokes.

To be fair, compared to Zhou Si, Lonely Bird is more like a time traveler now. It's just fortunate that she simply loves surfing the internet and only uses memes with him in private, otherwise Zhou Si would really be a sinner for all time.

“Sir, you may call me Kazama Ruri.”

The effeminate man didn't seem to mind Zhou Si's offense. He spoke with great respect for Zhou Si, but Zhou Si didn't know where this respect came from. He knew that this guy was definitely not there with good intentions.

After all, what kind of good person would come to stop you with good intentions, especially when they're not even bringing people?

Therefore, no matter how kind Kazama Ruri is, Zhou Si will not have a good impression of him.

"I suggest you speak up as soon as you have something to say. I really hate wasting time on unimportant things."

Zhou Si picked at his ear, his face full of impatience, and his attitude and tone were extremely disdainful.

“Mr. Zhou, you are too impatient.”

Kazama Ruri shook his head gently, his golden pupils beneath the mask remaining unchanged, still displaying his gentle and refined demeanor. However, his words piqued Zhou Si's curiosity.

"You know my name?"

Zhou Si has only been in this world for two days at most, yet this complete stranger knows his name?

"A wild goose leaves its cry as it flies past, and the wind leaves its mark as it passes."

"Your origins are indeed incredibly mysterious, which is why I am here to make contact with you."

"Oh, then who do you represent? The Snake-Headed Eight Families?"

Zhou Si found a rock and sat down. Originally, he only wanted to deal with these annoying guys quickly and leave, but Kazama Ruri's appearance changed his mind. Now he was indeed interested in talking to these guys.

Perhaps we can get clues about the mission from them.

"The Eight Hercules Clan? Hah."

Kazama Ruri smiled dismissively, seemingly disdainful of this behemoth that practically controlled all of Japan, but the barely suppressed madness in his voice caught Zhou Si's attention.

'Does this guy have mental problems?'

"I come on behalf of the Ghosts...that's obviously a lie."

The new term had just piqued Zhou Si's interest, but Kazama Ruri's next words left him a bit confused. "So what are you here for? Just some Tokyo guy taking a stroll at night when he's bored?"

Are you making fun of me?

Zhou Si raised her eyebrows and asked, feigning anger.

"Please calm down, Mr. Zhou. Of course, I cannot reveal all my intentions. Although I am respectfully called the Dragon King, I am actually just a pawn in someone else's hands."

Kazama Ruri's slender hand touched the long sword at her waist, as if she were muttering to herself, revealing the purpose of the person behind her.

"That girl was an important asset of the Hebi-Hachi family. Her disappearance caused an uproar within the Hebi-Hachi family, and the Oni Clan naturally wanted what the Hebi-Hachi family wanted."

"So you're here to kill Erii?"

Zhou Si also stood up from the rock and began to pretend to stretch his body.

“Eri, huh? That’s a very nice name.” Kazama Ruri praised. “I wouldn’t dare say that. Her bloodline is far superior to mine and my foolish brother’s.”

"I do value my life quite a bit."

"So you chose to bypass Erii and come to me?"

Zhou Si couldn't hold back anymore. Did he really look that bad? Why were all these people choosing to take advantage of him?

"Mr. Zhou is joking. Didn't you come to us on your own initiative?"

Kazama Ruri chuckled softly, drawing the long sword from her waist, its sharp blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

"The king values ​​you very much, which is why he sent me with these things to find you."

"I sincerely suggest that if you really value your life, you should turn around and leave."

Although Kazama Ruri came to cause trouble, Zhou Si sincerely made a suggestion, considering how many clues he had missed.

He usually fights against huge monsters and doesn't have much experience fighting humans. Zhou Si was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stop himself later.

“Mr. Zhou, you are too kind. For troublemakers like me who have come to our door, the only reasonable course of action is to eliminate them completely.”

Faced with Zhou Si's good intentions, Kazama Ruri said this, which completely convinced Zhou Si that the kid was mentally unstable.

"And are you really that confident that you are definitely better than me?"

You definitely have a stronger sense of self-confidence.

With the knife tip slightly lowered, a bright smile appeared on the half of Kazama Ruri's face that was exposed.

"The Demon King, Ruri Kazama".

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Zhou."

The moment he finished speaking, the Deadpools around him moved.

These Dead Servants were clearly not on the same level as the ones Zhou Si had seen yesterday. Their noisy and ear-piercing hissing echoed in his ears. The leader of the Dead Servants kept hissing, but Zhou Si could sense a certain power spreading from its cries.

The elements in the air seemed to be affected by the power in those words, and for the first time, the supernatural forces of this world revealed their true nature to Zhou Si.

Actually, it wasn't the first time. It's just that the unlucky guy who opened the Bronze Throne yesterday was instantly killed, and Zhou Si didn't even notice.

The air in front of Zhou Si compressed violently, and a thunderous roar exploded in front of him, accompanied by a powerful shockwave that covered an area of ​​tens of meters around him.
