High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 2374: Chapter 595: Warning

San You Bookstore.

The flat face of the Yellow Flowered Cat pressed against the transparent glass window, watching with great interest the grand scene of gusting winds and sparkling spell lights on the opposite street, feeling so comfortable that it almost started to purr.

A bubbling sound from the Small Red Clay Stove filled the ears as the tea boiled.

”In my opinion, youth and recklessness are synonyms. And they’re closely related to ’unexpected’. Sometimes, decisions made from ’unexpected’ can be better than the results of the elderly’s ’careful consideration’.”

The gentleman tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, with a trace of reminiscence in his voice: ”I gave this sentence to Small Colma on Christmas, but now I think it seems more suitable for the Su family little girl.”

Bang!

A piece of shattered glass, with a whistle, struck heavily on the window frame of San You Bookstore, just a few centimeters away from the flat face of the Yellow Flowered Cat.

”Eek.”

The Flower Cat shrank its ears, reluctantly withdrawing its gaze from the restrained yet intense battle across the street, turning back to look at the old man lying on the recliner: ”Just because that bar kid refuses to talk, she smashes someone else’s shop. Won’t this provoke some old folks in the Alliance to pick a quarrel...”

”Only with clouds motionless and thunder sounding will there truly be favorable weather.”

The gentleman’s fingertips slid over the armrest as he murmured: ”Someone remains silent, someone speaks out, only then will others be more prudent... The reaction of the Su family little girl is very intense, or rather, her action is very aggressive. It brings her a bit of trouble, but it’s good for Zheng Qing... It gives those ill-intentioned guys a very clear warning.”

”Are you sure not to bring that little girl in for a chat, to tell her that Zheng Qing’s situation isn’t so bad?” The Yellow Flowered Cat curled its tail tip, scratching its chin: ”Early in the morning...”

”I know you’re trying to tie another string to me.” The gentleman raised his eyelids to glance at it, speaking in a calm tone: ”You’ve been asking me similar questions for a long time, wanting to know how much influence I still have on this world.”

”How much more?” The Flower Cat didn’t hide, looking expectantly at the old man.

”A lot, but also very little.”

The gentleman adjusted to a more comfortable position, lazily replying: ”You know, I’m moving further away from this world. In the simplest understanding, the further the distance, the less the influence... But you also know, I’m very formidable. Even if there’s only a last wisp of tenuous connection, it’s enough to overthrow the entire world.”

The Yellow Flowered Cat let out a bored snort.

”It’s the same as saying nothing.”

It muttered, turning its head. The battle on the street was nearing its end. The front of the Wandering Bar was almost completely destroyed, and at the end of the spreading dust in the distance, the figures of wizards in black robes had already begun to appear faintly.

...

...

Greenhill Mansion is located in the Beta Town West District and has its own Protect Legal Formation.

So the noise on Pedestrian Street did not affect Poseidon’s study arrangement. All morning, Zheng Qing stayed in the study, watching the Little Fox complete the assignments on the schedule.

It wasn’t until he went to the school hospital in the afternoon to visit Xiao Xiao that he learned about Su Shijun smashing the Wandering Bar.

”Smashed the Wandering Bar? Why!” Zheng Qing looked astonished. Everything was fine when he left in the morning, he didn’t hear her say she was going to trouble the Wandering Wizards.

”Who knows.”

Xin Fat Man, sitting on the other empty bed, with crossed legs, holding a can of orange juice, sipping noisily, shrugged laboriously when asked: ”Everyone guesses that maybe the Wandering Bar had too much gossip, making Su Councilor unhappy, or the Moon Council wanted to find trouble with the Dark Council...”

”Did anyone get injured?” Zheng Qing interrupted Xin Fat Man’s endless nonsense.

”Hey.”

The Fat Wizard squinted his eyes, with a smirk on his face. Before the young cost student could become irritated, he answered first: ”Rest assured, the actions of both Big Wizards were very measured, the shops surrounding the Wandering Bar didn’t suffer at all... Our shop too, is operating as usual today. As for the Wandering Bar, it’s said that most of it was smashed into ruins. Tsk tsk.”

D&K is located diagonally opposite the Wandering Bar. Hearing the nearby shops remained unscathed, Zheng Qing’s initially worried heart was greatly relieved.

”Where are Dylan and Blue Bird?” Zheng Qing then remembered the other two companions in the hunting team.

”They came by in the morning.” Xiao Xiao, leaning against the headboard, holding a crystal ball, answered in a muffled voice: ”Blue Bird has an arrangement with classmates from Starry Sky for a wild hunt, Dylan said his family arranged several balls for him... So they’ve gone home.”

Originally, everyone thought the tasks designated by the Alliance would last until after the New Year. Who knew that in pursuing the cases, a Big Wizard died, the Trident Sword quickly recognized the Absolution, completing the task, leading them to have an early holiday.

”Speaking of going home,” the Fat Wizard clicked his tongue, seemingly savoring the orange juice: ”If there’s nothing else, I might leave tomorrow too...”

”Didn’t you say you didn’t have to go home this year?”

”’If there’s nothing else’!” Xin emphasized the words he had said before, then looked at the two companions with resentment: ”You two, one has Teacher Sima taking care, the other moved to Greenhill Mansion, leaving me alone in the empty dormitory, and still have the nerve not to let me go home?”

Zheng Qing awkwardly chuckled twice, picking up an orange from the fruit plate and peeling it for him to eat.

Another reason for coming to the school hospital today was to tell his companions that he would most likely be staying at Greenhill Mansion recently. This couldn’t be concealed. It was precisely he mentioned Greenhill Mansion that led the Fat Wizard to talk about the news that had just happened this morning.

”Don’t worry, I won’t tell the Monitor big shot about this in full detail.” Before leaving, Xin Fat Man patted Zheng Qing on the shoulder, speaking with ill intent.

...

...

After leaving the school hospital, Zheng Qing hurried to Beta Town.

The Wandering Bar had already been restored to its original state, showing no signs of the great battle, only the missing big frog at the entrance and the ’temporarily closed’ sign on the door revealed a slightly unusual atmosphere.

There were few pedestrians on the street, all in a hurry, seemingly fearing that staying here longer might invite trouble.

Fox Five stood behind the counter of D&K, and when he saw Zheng Qing entering, there was no trace of surprise on his face.

”The young lady didn’t come to the shop.”

He seemed to know what Zheng Qing wanted to ask, with a slight melancholy on his face, he spoke directly: ”I don’t know why the young lady smashed that old guy’s shop, but according to Dangdang Ears, it seems like the young lady is looking for those Ravens...”

”Ravens?” Zheng Qing’s gaze wandered, searching for the figures of the two Mouse People.

”They went to Lin Zhong Lake for stock,” Fox Five wiped his whiskers by his mouth: ”When the fight broke out in the morning, Ding Dang Ears was sleeping in the attic and heard some fragments of conversation...”

Zheng Qing didn’t wait for him to finish, turning and pushed the door to leave.

Passing by San You Bookstore, he glanced inside, the display window still covered with dust, showing no sign of people or cats having stayed.
