Chapter 382: Medusa is Also a Wealthy Young Miss!
Pat, pat, pat...
Raindrops tentatively tapped against the glass window. In the blink of an eye, the sound became dense, pattering together, and finally turned into a "splash" of heavy rain.
"It's raining?"
Jashin-chan, who had just finished her meal and was wiping her mouth with a hot towel, turned her head in surprise and looked out the window.
The street view outside the window was already blurred. Neon lights smudged in the water vapor, each wrapped in a layer of hazy halo.
"Mn, the rain is quite heavy."
Ryohei held half a cup of Shichimi-shu (Seven-Flavor Wine) in his hand, a hint of surprise in his tone.
In the days since he came to the Demon World, this was the first time he encountered rain.
"There will be moderate to heavy rain tonight, and rain for the next few days as well."
Medusa sat elegantly on the chair, her two slender white legs together, reminding them softly.
"Eh? No way!"
Yurine looked over with disappointment.
After all, rainy days greatly affected travel, and she wanted to explore Charm Capital properly with Ryohei and the others.
"Just so unfortunate."
Medusa could guess Yurine's thoughts, spread her hands, and revealed a helpless smile.
Yusa quietly ate a Smoked Clam and tilted her head slightly: "Actually, whether it rains or not doesn't have much impact... The most famous things here are various shopping centers, commercial streets, as well as beauty salons and custom shops."
"Except for strolling the commercial streets being a bit troublesome, other things are basically unaffected, right?" She looked at Medusa.
"That is correct." Medusa clapped her hands gently and responded with a smile.
Yurine felt instantly comforted.
At this time, Jashin-chan leaned close to Ryohei, put one hand on her waist, pointed at him with the thumb of her other hand, and said teasingly: "This kid Servant definitely wants to go to a custom shop!"
I don't need a damn mouthpiece!
Ryohei's mouth twitched, several black lines appearing on his forehead. He grabbed Jashin-chan's finger and said grumpily: "Suddenly I hate people pointing fingers at me. Believe it or not, I'll snap it?"
"I don't believe it!" Yurine said loudly.
"I don't believe it either!"
Koji raised her small hand and shouted rarely.
...Look how unpopular you are!
Ryohei held Jashin-chan's thumb speechlessly.
Jashin-chan subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but was firmly held by Ryohei. She bristled: "What the hell are you learning from Yurine! Can you be a decent human being!"
"I wasn't wrong! You definitely want to go; don't I know you... Ah—! Pain pain pain! I was wrong! Wrong!"
Feeling the force from her finger, Jashin-chan changed her face instantly.
"Jashin-chan...!"
A trace of worry appeared in Medusa's charming purple eyes. She hurriedly got up from the chair, wanting to "mediate."
"Say sorry."
Ryohei narrowed his eyes halfway, looking at the scummy snake.
"Sorry!"
The scummy snake had no backbone to speak of and apologized honestly.
Seeing this, Ryohei let go of her thumb.
"Are you okay?"
Medusa walked briskly to Jashin-chan's side, looking down at her hand with concern.
"I'm fine."
Jashin-chan moved her finger joints, distanced herself from Ryohei, and said: "Servant is still somewhat human."
( ﹁ ﹁ )
Ryohei glanced sideways at her.
Yurine felt offended...
"So..."
Yurine clenched her delicate fist and punched Ryohei's arm lightly:
"Let's get back to the topic. Does Ryohei-kun want to go to a custom shop?"
When did the topic become this?
Ryohei looked over in surprise and said honestly: "A little curious, but never thought about patronizing."
"What a cunning answer!"
Jashin-chan shouted discontentedly immediately.
"Cunning human," Pekola said coolly.
"So cunning."
Lucoa said with a smile.
"Indeed cunning." Yusa nodded gently from the side.
Only Koji, Yurine, and Medusa didn't say anything.
Ryohei was instantly speechless, sighing to the sky: "How is telling the truth cunning!"
"Just cunning!"
"..."
Dinner was drawing to a close.
Soon, the group left the private room.
Medusa paid the bill at the front desk, put the card and receipt into her bag, turned to Ryohei and the others, and asked: "Do you have any plans next?"
"No plans," Ryohei answered casually.
Yusa followed with "None here either."
"Then... want to go experience my family's beauty salon?"
Medusa held her bag with both hands and issued an invitation with a sweet smile.
"Beauty salon?"
Yurine's beautiful eyes lit up. She had heard that the beauty salons here were very famous.
As a girl, she really found it hard to resist this.
Don't look at her as just a female college student; when in the human world, she had actually visited beauty salons a few times.
Of course, just trimming hair and doing facial care, never experienced other projects.
"Your family runs a beauty salon?"
Ryohei looked at Medusa in surprise.
"Medusa's family doesn't just run a beauty salon."
Jashin-chan hugged Medusa's slender shoulder and introduced proudly: "Their family business is very broad, also involving makeup, clothing, beauty diet, and many other aspects, very famous in the Demon World!"
"Just a little famous." Medusa smiled modestly.
"..." Ryohei looked at her and grinned.
He had long guessed that Medusa was also a wealthy young miss, and sure enough!
The Demon World "Trio," none of them were simple!
"What do you guys say?"
Ryohei turned his head, looked at Yurine and Yusa, then looked at Lucoa and Pekola on the other side.
"I want to go!"
Yurine looked at Ryohei somewhat coquettishly.
"If you all go, Little Ice and I will go relax too." Yusa said with a gentle smile.
"I'm fine with anything."
Lucoa said with a smile.
"Whatever."
Pekola followed.
"Then we'll intrude!" Ryohei turned his gaze to Medusa.
