Yato turned his head to look.
It is Sakura Hibiki and Kanadein Akemi.
They looked a little nervous, their faces flushed, but Xiang's skin was darker, and the lighting made her hard to spot, while Zhu Mei was different.
To be honest, Yato felt a little uneasy under her gaze.
"We've come to express our gratitude, thank you!"
Although Hibiki looks like a hot girl, she is actually very pure and simple in nature. She bowed respectfully to the benefactor who saved her from dire straits.
Perhaps because she was too shy and nervous, her volume was a bit out of control; even the music playing in the bar wasn't as loud as her voice.
Many people turned their attention to this.
"It's loud, the sound is too loud."
Zhu Mei lowered her voice to remind them, and didn't forget to give those who were looking over an apologetic smile.
"Well!"
If there were a bottle of liquor in front of him right now, Hibiki wouldn't mind shoving his head into it.
"It's no big deal, and..." Yato rested his chin on his hand, waved his hand dismissively, and looked at the elegant Akemi through his glasses, making the latter a little embarrassed. "With your looks, even if I don't make a move, someone else will."
"But you didn't help us for that reason, did you?"
Zhu Mei tilted her head and asked in a seemingly natural manner.
"That's hard to say."
Yato shrugged.
"You have to be careful who you tease."
Nearby, Himuro Ryo had just finished dealing with a customer when he walked over and rudely interrupted Yato's perverse behavior. He then asked Akemi and Hibiki, "Were you two introduced by Machio?"
"Ok?"
Zhu Mei and Xiang exchanged a glance. Xiang leaned over the bar and exclaimed in surprise, "That's right, you're an acquaintance of Mr. Machio?"
"That guy didn't tell you anything before introducing you to this place?"
Ice Chamber Ryo raised an eyebrow.
It is clearly dissatisfaction with someone's irresponsible behavior.
"Hehehe." Hibiki chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "Mr. Machio originally said he would bring us here, but we just happened to be out shopping today and came in out of curiosity when we passed by. We didn't expect to encounter something like this."
"I see. As a member of our establishment, I am deeply sorry for what happened to you two. As compensation, you will receive a membership card that will grant you a permanent 30% discount. In addition, your bill tonight will be waived." Himuro Ryo still had a strong attachment to this bar. Although he couldn't take action before due to certain reasons, that didn't mean he would do nothing.
"real!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang's eyes lit up.
Thinking about the menu I had seen before, all the negative emotions in my heart vanished.
The whole person is radiant.
She's not interested in alcohol, but food is a different story.
The menu at 【Great Universe Bar】is just as extensive as that of most restaurants.
Whether it will taste good or not is still unknown, but Xiang knows that her allowance is definitely not enough.
There's no way around it; the spending levels at entertainment venues are no joke.
"Excuse me, sir, could we make a deal? Could we exchange the 30% discount for two more free meals?" Hibiki clearly understood this as well, and he clasped his hands together, making a very sincere request.
"Hello!"
Zhu Mei felt incredibly embarrassed.
In particular, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Yato's expression was different.
The sense of shame in their hearts was magnified many times over.
"If you want to eat, you can come again later. Don't worry, it's on me."
"No, no, no, I can't take advantage of you like that."
Xiang immediately refused.
Himuro Ryo felt a strange unease after hearing her words.
So he can take advantage of anyone he wants?
"Okay, since you put it that way, I'll grant your request."
It's nothing serious anyway.
"That's wonderful! Thank you so much, sir!"
Xiang raised his hands and cheered.
"..."
Zhu Mei looked at Himuro Ryo, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"I'm not called a clerk, my name is Himuro Ryo."
Himuro Ryo, seeing Hibiki's excited expression, introduced himself.
Then he pointed with his thumb at Yato, who was calmly drinking juice and watching the show.
"This kid is Igarashi Yato. Don't let his mature appearance fool you; he's a high school student just like you, so don't be too reserved. Since Machio introduced us, we're friends from now on. If you ever run into trouble like what happened earlier, don't hesitate to come to us."
"Eh? This benefactor... no, Mr. Igarashi is also a student?"
Hibiki turned to look at Yato, and said in surprise.
"What? Do I look old?" Yato touched his face, a little puzzled.
"No way... It's just like Mr. Himuro said, Yato-kun seems to give off a very reliable feeling." Akemi shook her head in denial. Perhaps to prove her point, she suddenly moved closer to Yato, seemingly wanting to observe him closely. However, she didn't seem to control the distance well, and the distance between the two seemed too intimate. To onlookers, they might have mistakenly thought they were about to kiss.
Yato subconsciously tilted his head back to create distance between his face and the camera.
But it's still very close.
He only needed to breathe normally to smell a faint scent mixed with the girl's sweat and shower gel, and when he looked down, he could see her exquisitely beautiful face.
"Sure enough, by looking at him up close like this, it's easy to tell Yato's real age by the degree of skin laxity and facial bone structure. However, I think Yato's glasses also play a part in the reason. If he took them off and changed his hairstyle, there would be no way anyone would mistake him for someone else."
Zhu Mei seemed not to think she had overstepped anything and acted very naturally, her sparkling eyes shining with a captivating luster under the dim lights of the bar.
"...Thank you for your answer, but it's too close. Girls need to be more wary of men."
Yato extended a finger and pressed it against her forehead.
The latter was pushed away before he could react.
Chapter 25
Zhu Mei covered her forehead and stuck out her tongue somewhat embarrassedly.
"Sorry, I have this bad habit of getting extremely interested in things, to the point of neglecting some common-sense details. By the way, which school does Yato go to?"
"Third year at Shuchiin."
"Then, it's Yato-senpai."
"...We're not in the same school, so there's no need to worry about these things."
"Then, Yato-kun?"
Zhu Mei clapped her hands and said.
"...Souryuin-kun, aren't you going to order something to eat?"
Yato remained silent for a moment, then tried to change the subject.
"Just call me Zhu Mei."
The girl stood to one side, her charming smile truly captivating.
She's also a very stylish and beautiful girl.
With her beautiful black hair and a slender yet powerful figure, she is a work of art that would captivate any painter.
There is no possibility of going out on the street without being approached by someone.
Even if it's hail from the sky, it's the same.
However, Yato's intuition told him that he needed to keep his distance from the other party for the time being.
Otherwise, it might cause some trouble.
……
After getting to know each other, Xiang didn't hesitate to use his 'free privileges' and ordered a whole bunch of delicious food.
Then, Ryo Himuro and Yato saw the food on the table disappear at a visible rate, while the empty bowls and plates increased at the same rate.
"Is this little girl really an ordinary person?"
Hibiki's booth was very close to the bar, so both Yato and Himuro could clearly see Hibiki eating.
Compared to her, Zhu Mei next to her looked like someone suffering from anorexia.
Hearing Himuro Ryo's sigh, Yato laughed and said, "What? Regretting it?"
"Tsk, I'm not so bad that I can't even afford this little bit of money."
Himuro Ryo rolled his eyes.
He doesn't own this restaurant. When he says it's free, he's actually paying for it.
However, given Hibiki's personality, he definitely wouldn't accept that.
Himuro Ryo quickly grasped the other person's personality traits and then changed his approach to a more acceptable one.
“Indeed, if she eats like this, she won’t be able to finish your prize money even after two or three meals.”
Yato shrugged.
However, he himself was quite surprised.
Xiang is undoubtedly a special case.
When he helped her before, Yato had the system check her attributes.
The data obtained is as follows—
Name: Hibiki Sakura
Talent: ? ? ? (To be activated)
Bloodline: ? ? ? (Unknown)
力量 （4.8）、敏捷0.7、体质0.9（5）总和2.4（10.5）
……
To be honest, Yato had never seen such a unique attribute panel before.
There is a second data point following the current data.
This is not hard to understand.
According to Yato's observation, Hibiki's overall muscle development is no different from that of an ordinary person. However, under special circumstances, such as when she was recently provoked by a frivolous man and threw a terrifying straight punch, her condition would change. The data in parentheses shall prevail.
However, the total of 10 or more is really something that leaves Yato speechless.
In the world of fighting games, those with a total score below 5 are not qualified to be called 'fighters'.
in other words--
Those who can become fighters are basically strong individuals who have broken through the limits of the human body.
Yato's total score is 9, which means he is already a national-level strongman.
In addition, the total attribute of my cheap senior brother Himuro Ryo is only in the nines, and it will probably take another year or two to break through to 10.
This shows just how outrageous Hibiki's total attribute points of 10 are!
