But specifics?
He really didn’t know.
"I, Hanakaiin Tōru, Hanakaiin Ue, Hanakaiin Itsuki and Hanakaiin Ra are the main contenders this year from the branch families to enter the main family."
"We five, leading the outstanding juniors within our own branch families, must complete the tasks given by the main family."
"The recently deceased Hanakaiin Akira and Hanakaiin Shuu were the helpers I sought, but Hanakaiin Shuu killed Hanakaiin Akira, leaving in a dilemma."
"I need to complete the task given by the main family, so I must have two helpers."
"But now I cannot trust anyone within the family."
"So, I hope Mr. Jason can provide with help—of course, not without compensation."
Hanakaiin Haru explained in detail.
"Two helpers?"
Jason didn’t ask about the reward, but sothing he was more interested in.
"Yes."
"The task given by the main family is to participate in this year’s ’King of Fighters’ tournant, and rank determines who gets to join the main family."
"Unlike the usual individual combat and reserve format, this ’King of Fighters’ tournant requires a team of three to participate."
Hanakaiin Haru nodded in affirmation.
King of Fighters?
The King of Fighters Tournant?
King!
Jason almost imdiately thought of Hui Lijing’s sister.
The woman who snatched the ’Ultimate Flow’ invitation.
Hui Lijing, who was barbecuing, couldn’t help but raise her head and glance at Hanakaiin Haru, but imdiately looked down again.
You don’t want the at to burn.
As for her sister?
Although there might be things she didn’t know, since that person snatched soone else’s invitation, she would naturally participate.
When the ti cos, she can go to watch the fight and definitely find that person.
That’s what Hui Lijing thought.
Jason thought the sa.
Jason hadn’t forgotten the commission given to him by Hui Lijing and the promise he made.
To find the other’s sister.
Thus, upon hearing Hanakaiin Haru’s invitation, Jason was very tempted.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
However, Jason didn’t imdiately agree.
One thing at a ti.
Jason didn’t mind seeking more benefits for himself while on this convergence of objectives.
"Compensation."
Jason said.
"I offer a ’Fragnt of the Arrow of Inaho’ as reward."
Saying so, Hanakaiin Haru pulled out from his sleeve a corroded, severely damaged arrowhead.
Had it not been for Hanakaiin Haru ntioning the word ’arrow,’ Jason could not have associated the object in front of him with an ’arrow’ at all.
However, the strong ’food’ aroma on it couldn’t be faked.
Moreover, this item was the one with the most intense ’food’ scent on Hanakaiin Haru.
"Although this ’Arrow of Inaho’ is only a fragnt, it still retains a sliver of its forr power. Just need to activate it, and it can deliver a blow threatening to great demons."
"Of course, it’s only a threat."
"It can’t be lethal."
"But, if you find a weak spot, maybe it could be a fatal blow."
Seeing Jason examining the ’Arrow of Inaho,’ Hanakaiin Haru imdiately explained.
There was no excessive exaggeration.
Just factual.
Incidentally, Hanakaiin Haru also introduced the ’Prayer Stone.’
"The Prayer Stone cos from a century-old temple, blessed by incense and prayers, it can effectively avoid malicious spying and scare away most ordinary demons, and even, if the fate of the wearer is right, it may bring good luck."
"Um."
Jason nodded again.
Then, he asked.
"What about the other person?"
Since it’s a team of three, just him and Hanakaiin Haru won’t suffice.
For the third person, Jason had no special requirents, they didn’t need to be very powerful, but they had to be reliable.
"I have so candidates, but since soone was able to kill Hanakaiin Shuu and keep it quiet, they can naturally arrange people within the family, as well as implant similar spies around ."
"So, I need so ti to find the right person."
"But, rest assured, as long as you agree to team up with for the ’King of Fighters’ tournant, no matter the outco, the ’Fragnt of the Arrow of Inaho’ will be yours."
"Of course, if you can help win, I will offer you a higher and better reward."
"At least five tis the value of the ’Arrow of Inaho.’"
After Hanakaiin Haru finished speaking, he made a ’Balloonflower Seal.’
With this as a vow, demonstrating his conviction.
"Okay."
Jason’s gaze towards Hanakaiin Haru beca more gentle.
Not to ntion other aspects, at least there was plenty of generosity.
First was one good piece of ’food.’
Then five good pieces of ’food,’ or an equivalent.
And there’s more!
A banquet invite.
"When is the banquet?"
Jason asked as soon as he thought of it.
When it cos to food, he’s not at all vague.
Because, once vague, the one who suffers is oneself.
Like when hotpot is being served, the one who picks up the plate to serve the at could be the one who ends up not getting any at.
"I will arrange it as soon as possible."
"This is my promise to you."
"When I find the second companion, I will host another banquet to introduce you two."
Hanakaiin Haru keenly grasped Jason’s preferences.
A food lover?
Truly quite a straightforward and reliable hobby.
Unlike other hobbies that can be troubleso.
Such a hobby is almost sothing anyone can satisfy.
Even if Jason can eat a lot, he probably can’t eat the Hanakaiin Family out of house and ho, right?
Thinking this, Hanakaiin Haru, who had received an elite education since childhood, imdiately spoke up again.
