Normally, he would sleep through the day.
However, since binge eating improved my physical condition, it has become that I only feel mentally exhausted and need to sleep after several days.
Fortunately, there are many abnormal things in this world, otherwise he would definitely have been dissected and studied.
"If all else fails, how about we receive guests during the day?"
Aoba leaned against the shop door, talking to himself with a bit of boredom.
He sighed and quietly leaned against the doorway, basking in the sun.
Last night's torrential rain refreshed the air in Shinjuku, and the early autumn temperature was no longer so hot.
The morning sun felt warm and cozy on my skin.
Sunlight streamed obliquely down a narrow alley.
Part of the light was blocked by the buildings around the alley, and the remaining part shone directly on Aoba.
He closed his eyes slightly, trying to enjoy this rare peaceful moment.
After a while.
As the sun's trajectory shifted, the sunlight on him also moved elsewhere.
Since the sun was gone, he didn't plan to continue basking in it.
He got up, intending to close the shop door.
He stepped towards the door.
The roller shutter can only be pulled down from the outside of the store.
When he took his first step.
Aoba frowned slightly.
He had a strange, unsettling feeling, as if his whole body had turned cold, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
When he finally took the second step...
The biting wind had almost completely frozen the alleyway!
In the empty alley, Qingye, whose shop door was open, stood frozen in place.
The breeze blew gently.
Some ice shards were taken away and got onto Qingye's neck.
Ice shavings?
Aoba was very puzzled.
Just as they were about to take action...
The sharp sensation on his neck almost froze him in place.
At the same time, the cold female voice that came to his ear startled him even more.
"Don't move, where is this place?"
"You're also a Teigu user?"
A cold, sharp female voice echoed through the izakaya.
The water in the pits between the stone slabs of the alley froze into an icy blue in an instant.
Aoba is not moving.
The ice blade, only millimeters from his throat, wouldn't give him any room to move.
"you are?"
"Esdeath."
Aoba turned his back and talked to the woman behind him.
Esdeath, the Teigu user...
With just two words, he was able to determine that the woman behind him was definitely not from this world.
She possesses powerful ice-attribute abilities and can be sent to an izakaya without her knowledge.
So this is the true power awakened by the izakaya?
Aoba sighed helplessly.
Then he said seriously:
"I just run an izakaya, you understand? It's a place to eat."
The words fell.
The woman behind him seemed to be surveying her surroundings, noticing the pots, pans, and furnishings in the kitchen.
They also realized that Aoba had not lied.
The ice blade that had been held across Qingye's neck was removed, but the biting chill still lingered.
It still lingers in the air.
"Okay, turn around now."
Esdeath's cold tone seemed to soften a little.
Aoba shook his head helplessly.
This cold air posed no threat to him.
But to put the person behind him at ease, he could only temporarily show a threatened expression.
"It seems this is truly another world."
The woman was dressed in white, military-style clothing, with a distinctive blue and white hat on her head. This was complemented by her long, waist-length, ice-blue hair.
He has a distinctly military-like demeanor and a decisive approach to things.
As Aoba was sizing her up, Esdeath was also sizing up the handsome young man in front of her.
Seeing Qingye's clear eyes, which held a hint of helplessness, stirred her long-dormant heart.
He... is very handsome.
That look in her eyes was the one she had been searching for all along!
"What's your name?"
After realizing that this was just an izakaya (Japanese pub) for eating.
Esdeath quickly adapted to the fact that this was another world.
"Aoba."
Aoba answered.
She happened to meet the woman's gaze as she was being sized up.
He recognized that look in her eyes.
It is a strong interest and possessiveness.
He had seen him before when Rize Kamishiro first picked up his body!
"Aoba?"
Esdeath was pleased with Aoba's response and his attitude.
“My name is Esdeath, and I will be your master from now on.”
"From this moment on, you... belong to me."
A woman's vow is very direct.
He even pulled out a collar from somewhere and walked straight up to put it around Aoba's neck.
no...
Is this woman mentally unstable?
Aoba held Esdeath's hand and looked at her seriously, saying:
"This is an izakaya, not a brothel!"
"If this young lady wants to do something exciting, she should find a place herself!!"
Faced with Aoba's decisive rejection.
Instead of getting angry, Esdeath blushed slightly.
He seemed very satisfied with Aoba's reaction.
"It's exactly what I wanted!"
"but.."
"Disobeying your master's orders is... not allowed!"
Esdeath immediately countered by restraining Aoba's hands, showing no concern for the close proximity between them.
Ok? !
Is this woman really that strong?
Aoba was momentarily stunned, but his improved physique and fighting skills gave him an instinctive reaction.
Make him react instantly!
She immediately counterattacked when Esdeath grabbed her.
The predecessors set out, and the successors follow!
His strength might rival Esdeath's, but in other aspects...
They were no match for this battle-hardened general.
