At the restaurant, Juin nearly had a heart attack when he saw the prices of the food on the menu.
"I don't know how expensive those things are," Lucifer mumbled as he peeked from behind Juin, "but based on your expression, it seems like you need to sell some of your organs."
Juin's face paled out significantly as he gulped. "T-this…"
The price of the cheapest meal was almost his one month allowance.
Seeing his facial expression, Mika Nakamura smirked and said, "Don't worry about it. It's on me. Just order whatever you want…"
Judging by his shirt that was a little too small and pants that were a little too short, she doubted that he would have the extra money to pay for even his own meals here.
Juin hesitated for a while, but when the waiter asked him what he wanted, he ordered the chicken carbonara and a glass of water. After the waiter left, the two were in awkward silence. It took them a few minutes before Juin asked, "So… What do you want to talk to me about?"
Mika blinked. "Huh?"
"Yesterday. You wanted to talk to me about something, right?" Juin asked.
"Oh…" Mika shrugged. She then batted her eyelashes as she mumbled, "Can't a girl just want to talk to you?"
"Girls usually DON'T want to talk to me," Juin said with a sigh. It was sad but true. He thanked the waiter who had just brought over two glasses of water. After the waiter left, Juin then looked at Mika with a serious expression and said, "Are you here to convince me to join your family?"
"What?" Mika raised an eyebrow, seemingly innocent of whatever he was about to imply, and there was a small smile on her face.
"I know what you are, Mika…" Juin said with a low voice, "from the Nakamura Family."
The smile was wiped off instantly from Mika's face. At this time, the waiter brought over the meals. Unlike earlier, he could feel a frosty chilliness in the air.
"Would you like anything else--"
"No!" Mika immediately said.
Startled, the waiter hesitated for a moment before excusing himself. After the left, both Mika and Juin activated their "Silence" talismans.
"I just want to have a normal chat with you, Juin…" Mika said with a blank expression.
"Then why did you just activate a Silence?" Juin pointed out. He then added, "We could have chatted at school instead of being out here. So, let's just cut straight to the point. Is there something that you want from me? And before you asked, no, I haven't seen the book nor the sword since I fainted at the museum."
"So you know that people are coming after you for them," Mika said with a sneer. "Looks like you aren't as dumb as others said."
Juin did not say anything. He took a bite of his meal while waiting for Mika to continue.
Before Juin could reply her, Lucifer, who had been floating on his back in midair, said, "Don't tell her it's the president… The less people know about who tried to recruit you, the better."
Juin nodded, both as to reply Lucifer and Mika.
Seeing his response, Mika continued, "What did they propose to give you? Whatever it is, we can give you better stuff."
Juin thought about it for a moment before asking, "Why do you want me? I've already said that I didn't--"
"Regardless of whether you are telling the truth or not, it's better to have one more ally than one more foe."
Juin nodded, clearly agreeing with her words, and he asked, "What do you propose then?"
"We will match whatever the Order is going to give you. We will also provide you with a C-rank magical weapon, one that will resonate with your soul power, and give you training so that you can protect yourself, and in addition to that, we will give you money so that you can have a better life…" She looked at his hand-me-down clothes and smirked, "At the very least, you can get better clothes…"
Juin remained silent for a long time, seemingly contemplating her words. But after a while, what he said was, "You know, Mika… I thought you were cute before, and I actually enjoyed our talk earlier, but now… You're just like those stuck up girls at school who think that everything revolves around money… Your cuteness level has dropped considerably."
"You…" Mika frowned as she clenched her fists.
"I don't need your money, I have never cared for them anyway," Juin said as he pushed his meal aside. Taking his backpack, he said, "As for your proposal, I'll consider it…"
"You're being silly, Juin," Mika said as she stood up angrily. "Money means a lot not just in the normal world, but also in the supernatural world. If you want better protection and better items, you will need money for it."
"And I'm sure of all the groups that have come and all those that will come, someone will give me even more than what you are proposing…" Juin said with a matter-of-fact tone.
Mika's face turned red from anger, and she could not understand why he would not even take a longer time to consider her proposal. She was giving him a chance to change his life, yet he was rejecting this opportunity… If someone had given her an opportunity to change her life, she would have jumped on it.
Wearing his backpack on one arm, Juin was about to turn around and leave, but he hesitated for a moment before saying in a sympathetic tone, "I'm sorry about your fate… But I'm sure you can change it."
Mika's eyes widened, wondering if he knew about her terrible fate, but before they could say anything else to each other, she saw a shadow behind Juin.
And she wasn't the only one who noticed.
Lucifer felt a strong killing intent before he saw the shadow, and he quickly warned, "Juin, behind you!"
SWOOSH!
Juin moved too slowly, and he was scratched by a knife that went past him and stuck on the table. Stabbed by the knife was a piece of yellow talisman with red symbols drawn on it. The moment that the knife hit the table, a yellow ripple burst out, creating an invisible wave that covered the entire restaurant.
Holding his bleeding cheek, Juin turned around and glared at his attacker. And he wasn't shocked to see the person standing a few meters behind him at all. "You are… Taka Nakamura!"
