Chapter 1008: Chapter 30: Regulars at the Polar Bear Cafe1

Bang!

Crack!

Amidst the dull thud of a cement bag being heavily thrown to the ground, a series of bone-cracking sounds followed. In the eyes of the onlookers, the assailant who had seized the simple-minded girl was sent flying.

He soared through the air and collided with the wall of a nearby shop.

Bricks and cement were smashed, leaving an imprint of a human figure.

The criminal was deeply embedded in the wall.

The spectators witnessing this scene were stunned.

One by one, in disbelief, they looked at the simple-minded girl with two stiff tufts of hair standing up like antennas.

Ryosuke, Urashima, and Hui Lijing were no exception.

As detectives, Ryosuke and Urashima would never believe, if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, that a girl who appeared to be merely healthy could send an adult flying.

And even embed him into a wall.

That’s not something a human could do, right?

Both of them almost subconsciously thought so.

Hui Lijing, on the other hand, thought much more simply.

What should she do if she faced this girl?

Keep her distance, use firearms, and kill from afar!

The moment the thought struck her, the female detective came up with this strategy.

And if the girl closed in?

Spray her face with pepper spray, chili powder, lime paste, then pull back and create distance.

During this, she could take advantage of the opponent’s obstructed vision to set up booby traps.

No, incendiary grenades would be even more practical!

The detective, who dreamt of becoming a barista, came up with a second set of plans.

And just as the female detective started to consider a third battle plan, the girl named Sagaraso’s two stiff tufts of hair fell down. Realizing she was being watched by everyone, she immediately showed that characteristic bashful expression of someone simple-minded.

>.< She scratched her head, offering a very perplexed explanation. "I work out, so, I'm a bit stronger." "That punch just now?" "I occasionally go back to my friend's gym to train, so, that's normal too." With the simple explanation, Ryosuke was the fastest to regain composure. "May I ask if you are Miss Sagaraso?" "Don't worry, I have no bad intentions." "I'm a police officer, just wanting to ask about your situation." Ryosuke asked very cautiously. And unconsciously, he stepped back a bit from Sagaraso. It was an instinctive reaction of a living creature! After witnessing a man similar to oneself being sent flying and embedded into a wall, it was a natural response. It wasn't just Ryosuke acting this way. Almost everyone around was reacting similarly. Except for Jason. He remained calm, his expression indifferent. As if completely unperturbed. "Aren't you the least bit surprised?" The female detective walked over to Jason and couldn't help but ask in a low voice. "Why be surprised?" Jason retorted. "A girl so small, sending an adult flying and embedding him into a wall... isn't that a strange occurrence?" The female detective recounted the scene, her face still showing surprise. "A girl so small participating in an eating contest." "And she finished 100 burgers within the allotted time." Jason remarked. "So what?" The female detective was even more perplexed now. "Energy is conserved." "What is eaten, what enters the stomach, must be converted into energy." "Most of the time it's hidden, but when needed, it erupts." Jason offered his interpretation. "Uh." The female detective blinked her hair-obscured eyes, sporting an expression which suggested, "I'm not very learned, don't try to deceive me." Was this a correct explanation for the conservation of energy? She had the feeling Jason was fooling her. Subconsciously, the female detective couldn't help but retort, "You might as well say that when she took three burgers in one bite, you knew she was far from ordinary." "One bite for three burgers, far from ordinary?" Jason was taken aback. Isn't that supposed to be normal? He furrowed his brows slightly. Then he regained his composure. "That's just routine." After speaking these words with his usual indifferent tone, he turned to look at Sagaraso, who was approaching. Ryosuke had just finished the routine inquiry. Sagaraso was coming to say goodbye. "Mr. Jason, I'm leaving now!" "I've made plans with friends to go to the gym tonight!" "I study at Royal Cherry, I'm a sophomore, if you need anything, you can come find me at Royal Cherry." Though simple-minded, Miss Sagaraso was very polite. "Mhm, I'm Jason from 'Mask x Machete x Meat' Agency." "You can come find me here." Replied Jason. A friend who could eat and even brought him burgers, Jason didn't refuse. "Definitely!" "It's my first time seeing someone so amazing!" "I look forward to the next meeting." Miss Sagaraso waved and cheerfully walked towards the exit of the snack street. Jason watched the young lady leave. "Surprised at being unexpectedly welcomed, feeling a bit reluctant?" Hui Lijing came over with her arms crossed and remarked. "Reluctant?" "Maybe a little." "It's rare for me to meet friends I can eat with." Jason admitted openly. A foodie friend is surely a foodie. Back home, Jason often made plans with friends, or they with him, to challenge all sorts of buffets in the area. They would make it a lesson for every new buffet that opened. Those times were truly joyful. Sadly... He couldn't return. So, Jason especially cherished these new friendships with fellow foodies. "Is that all?" Hui Lijing seemed somewhat skeptical. "What else could it be?" "You don't think she likes me, do you?" "Don't worry." "Those who like me are never normal."
