I'm really just human

Xia Chuan's eyes inadvertently swept across the tomboy's shoulder, and just then a golden spider crawled out, but it immediately shrank back after noticing him.

"Don't worry, I'm not a suspicious person. I just don't want this store to be ruined by you. The boss knows me, too."

Chapter 104: Kalis is an Undead Being

2023-04-30

graduate School.

Junichi Shimura changed into a suit and sat in the lounge, pressing his chest and abdomen as he felt a dull pain from time to time.

A day passed and the pain not only did not ease, but became even worse.

Callis...or should I call him the Joker.

The strength is beyond expectations.

It is almost comparable to a level 5 knight.

The legendary Kuuga and Dark Kiva are no more than this, right?

Junichi Shimura reluctantly took out his own artificial category A card.

Cerberus three-headed dog.

Although there are currently 3 artificial three-headed dog cards, the one he has is different.

He could sense a power within it that far surpassed that of other undead creatures.

However, it was not enough to deal with Kalis.

At least his current fusion coefficient is not good enough.

Is it time to call the other two back?

Those two guys are a bit unreliable, but they are still valuable as cannon fodder.

Compared with his current plan, other monster systems have to be given lower priority.

Only the undead can obtain eternal life.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

After Kenzaki Kazuma finished his patrol, he rushed back to Junichi Shimura as soon as possible.

He had made good gains in the past few days. His combat power was steadily improving, and he also used the Spade 3 and Spade 5 he got from Calis to successfully seal two undead creatures.

Among them there is a Spade 4 Wild Boar Card, which enhances the collision force.

This should allow me to fight with Calis, right?

"I've seen your recent growth, it's very good," Shimura Junichi nodded with a smile, "But this is not enough. This won't be enough to deal with Calis."

"Captain, I still think that Calis is not our enemy." Kenzaki Kazuma said distressedly.

"You just don't understand, Kenzaki."

Junichi Shimura groaned, pressed his chest and abdomen, and shook his head solemnly.

"Kallis is definitely an undead creature. Not only did he seal the other undead creatures, he even wanted to kill me. Maybe a knight has already been killed by him!"

"How could that be?" Kenzaki Kazuma's eyes trembled slightly, "I don't think Calis would kill the knight..."

"In fact, I have fought with him before. When I was about to seal an undead creature, I heard him communicating with the undead creature, and he even protected the undead creature."

Junichi Shimura opened his clothes, revealing the sword wounds and purple bruises caused by the kicks.

"This is what Kalis did, Kenzaki. Undead creatures are not human beings, and their thinking is also different from that of humans. Don't trust them casually. Don't forget how many people have been killed by undead creatures in the past few days."

Seeing Kenzaki Kazuma fall into silence, Shimura Junichi shook his head, stood up and patted his shoulder.

"In any case, you have to be careful and don't get in touch with him for now. I'll find another way to deal with the Spade Deck and I'll definitely help you get it back!"

……

Shopping Street.

The Taiyaki restaurant reopened after two days of renovation.

Natsukawa changed into a white chef's uniform and took out the freshly baked strawberry Taiyaki from the oven. Even though he was wearing a mask, he still enjoyed smelling the hot steam.

He had wanted to do this for a long time.

Now there is Shima Sho as a substitute teacher at the school, and the monsters can be dealt with by the students and other knights. If they really can't handle it, Fangbat II will help.

Unlike before, any slightly troublesome monster required his help.

Time suddenly became more abundant.

Whether he wants to be a hero or not, he has to live his own life.

"Fujiko, hang up the sign." Natsukawa shouted to the tomboy without turning his head.

"understood."

The tomboy pursed her lips and responded weakly, then reluctantly picked up a "50% off today" sign and hung it outside the store.

"50% off...what on earth are you thinking?"

She really couldn't understand why her father let a customer help run the store.

Are you sure you're not just trying to get a few days of free desserts?

And it’s 50% off.

There has never been a discount in the store before.

"Stop talking nonsense and come and help."

Natsukawa was the first to bring a large plate of Taiyaki to the table.

When it comes to making Taiyaki, the tomboy's skills are actually quite good, but she just can't meet her father's expectations, so she gradually starts to give up.

"Do you know the difference between your Taiyaki and the one the boss makes? It's the difference in feeling."

"Yes, yes, yes," the tomboy pouted, "What about feelings? Can you feel feelings while eating Taiyaki?"

“Of course you can taste it.”

Xia Chuan looked at the customers who came outside after hearing the news.

"The reason why the Taiyaki in this store is special is that it changes every day, depending on the weather, season and environment... all taste trends are taken into consideration by your father, including sweetness, softness, hardness, and heat... almost every day is the best match."

The tomboy opened her mouth but in the end couldn't say anything and could only go to the counter and sell goods obediently.

Although I don't want to admit it, the taiyaki that Natsukawa grills is really good.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at this. If you are so good, why don't you open your own shop?"

“This is my first time learning how to make taiyaki.”

"Oh, are you born with this talent? How is it possible that you can do it so well the first time?"

“Maybe this is talent.”

"It's a liar."

The tomboy was busy packing and gave Xia Chuan a blank look.

"By the way, uncle, Fujiko is the name my dad gave me. It's not a good name at all. My name is Mirai."

Xia Chuan ignored the tomboy and focused his attention on a small TV in the corner.

With the emergence of undead creatures, the knight's points calculation has become more diverse, and seals have also been included in the points system. However, considering the possibility of repeated seals, the calculation rules are different from those for kills.

Kalis quietly made it onto the Knights list, ranking third behind Dark Kiva.

There is still a question mark in terms of data.

I don’t know who is in charge of manipulating the statistics of the Knights Challenge rankings. It doesn’t look like it’s the league or a private consortium, otherwise someone would have contacted him long ago.

"Great power?"

Xia Chuan's eyes moved slightly.

There is indeed a big secret in the Knight Challenge, which is that no one knows how to become the final winner.

If it is a wish that can affect the current world and can make everything come true, he doesn't mind getting involved.

"Are you also interested in the knight rankings?" The tomboy glanced at the small TV. "This world is so terrible that even undead creatures can be on the list..."

"Undead creatures?" Xia Chuan looked slightly stunned.

"Don't you know yet? It's all reported on the news. This Kalis is actually an undead knight. I heard he killed a lot of people."

"Murder, are there any witnesses?"

"I'm not sure about that, but several knights said that they were attacked and injured by Calis while on patrol." The tomboy shook her head.

"is it?"

Xia Chuan looked back at the TV screen.

Indeed, both the host and the guest critic expressed fear about Kallis being on the list.

He hadn't paid much attention to these things in the past two days. Calis's reputation was so bad.

Was it framed by other undead creatures, or...

The image of Junichi Shimura flashed through Natsukawa's mind.

Aside from the other undead creatures, the only one who knew about Kalis was Junichi Shimura.

Which side will it be?

He doesn't care much about Kallis's reputation, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about the troublemakers.

Chapter 105 Xia Chuan: I Believe in You

2023-04-30

A day passed quickly.

The Taiyaki restaurant's business isn't as good as before, but it's not too bad either, and it's regained its popularity.

However, Xiachuan did not stay in the store for too long and handed over all matters to the tomboy in the afternoon.

The agreement between him and the boss was to teach the tomboy to support the store, in exchange for free Taiyaki in the future.

This level is enough. As long as the tomboy doesn't cause any trouble, this store will not go bankrupt.

"you are leaving?"

evening.

The tomboy wiped her sweat and was cleaning the sea bream cake mold when she saw Xia Chuan taking off his chef's coat and preparing to leave. She suddenly felt reluctant.

It can be considered a half-master-disciple relationship.

Although she didn't take it seriously verbally, Xia Chuan did help her a lot.

The customers really came back.

The Taiyaki I made myself was finally recognized.

"You are capable enough on your own. I have nothing more to teach you. Just do your best."

Xia Chuan finally patted the tomboy on the shoulder and secretly pinched the little golden spider hiding in her collar.

This thing has been seen several times, and it is certain that it is used to mark targets. However, the mother spider undead creature has never appeared.

"By the way," Xia Chuan turned around and reminded, "I actually like spicy Taiyaki very much. Save some for me next time."

"Don't worry, this store will not go bankrupt, and we will always have your Taiyaki in the future."

The tomboy turned her head away with red eyes, completely unaware of Xia Chuan's little movements.

This was the first time she had experienced the feeling of having people love the desserts she made herself.

"But who are you? What kind of person would a normal customer do? Just because you don't want the Taiyaki shop to go out of business... don't you have a job yourself?"
