DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

"Yes, it's pollution-free green food."

"you mean……"

"Cabbage? What else could it be?"

"..."

Amuro Tooru's serious expression instantly returned to normal, and he said with a speechless look, "Can't you just put cabbages at the vegetable market?"

Xia Jia shrugged: "But my vegetables are very expensive."

How expensive can cabbage be?

"500 per piece."

"Damn, 500?" Amuro Tooru's eyes widened.

How come your stuff is worth more than purebred goods? Even Gin and his team don't usually do business this ruthlessly.

Shaka brought out a cabbage from the kitchen, tore off a leaf, and handed it to Amuro Tooru, gesturing, "Would you like to try this?"

Amuro Tooru suspiciously took the leaf and took a bite.

Juicy, sweet, and even with a hint of A5 beef flavor—and this is all from unprocessed ingredients. Imagine if it were served by a master chef…

The dark-skinned guy's eyes widened: "This..., did they add protein to it? It feels like I'm eating Wagyu beef."

Xia Jia shrugged: "Trade secret. So, do you have a source?"

Amuro Tooru thought for a moment, then took out his phone and hid outside the door to say something.

Not long after, a black Porsche 356A pulled up outside the izakaya.

"Damn it, no way..."

Shaka watched as Gin, with his white hair and indifferent expression, walked in and sat down beside him, calmly looking at Amuro Tooru:

"Give me a glass of absinthe."

Amuro Tooru handed Gin a glass of wine, which he downed in one gulp. He then asked casually, "Where's the merchandise?"

Xia Jia said dryly, "In the kitchen. By the way, we're a legitimate business, and your attire..."

Gin glanced sideways at Shaka and scoffed, "Kid..."

Amuro explained, "This is the supplier. The goods belong to him."

Gin paused for a moment before lowering his voice and slowly saying, "My company is planning to build a school and needs a stable supply of high-quality ingredients to provide meals for some special students."

As he spoke, he pulled out a card: "This is my business card."

Xia Jia took it blankly and looked at it:

"The cafeteria manager of Karasuma Research Institute Affiliated High School? Kurosawa Jin?"

Chapter 366 Gin-chan, are you a primary school student?

"With your outfit, I'd believe you if you said you were a gang leader. The cafeteria manager? Are you kidding me?" Xia Jia patted Gin's shoulder casually, grinning sheepishly.

Gin's face was a deep purplish-red, and one hand was already in the pocket of his black coat.

Amuro Tooru chuckled awkwardly twice and gestured to Gin with his eyes to give him some face.

Xia Jia, however, didn't seem to mind and smiled warmly:

"What, I guessed right? It's alright, you're a businessman, food is for people to eat, I don't care what you did before."

Gin closed his eyes.

Previously, due to the failure of the bank robbery, Gin's kidneys were crippled, and he was therefore transferred away from the front line and instead devoted to the plan to capture superpowered individuals.

That high school, funded by the Karasuma Research Institute, was specifically established to lure people with superpowers.

Even knowing that this was extremely important to that gentleman, no less so than his previous job, the title of cafeteria manager was simply...

Stinky old man...

Gin cursed inwardly, his gaze landing on Shaka's malicious expression:

"I want to see the goods."

"no problem."

Xia Jia went to the kitchen and casually shredded and stir-fried some cabbage. Before long, a dish with an irresistible aroma was placed in front of Gin.

Watching Gin go from sips to large, frantic bites, Amuro Tooru couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Manager, could it be that you're a pretty good cook too?"

Xia Jia curled her lip: "It's just that the ingredients are good."

Seeing Gin contentedly pull out a white handkerchief to wipe his mouth, Shaka thought with a strange expression: This guy is surprisingly cute in a contrasting way?

Gin coughed and said, "I want all of this shipment."

Xia Jia shrugged: "Can you handle it? At 500 each, it would take at least 5 million to buy all the stock I have."

Gin scoffed, "Who do you take us for?"

Xia Jia replied straightforwardly, "The cafeteria director."

Gin: "..."

Seeing that Gin remained silent, Shaka's playful side emerged, and he said earnestly:

"Hey bro, don't be so arrogant. Do you think your cafeteria can handle hundreds of tons of my goods? Even if you have the money, are you just going to let them rot? Or are you planning to resell them and take a kickback?"

"Sigh, I'm really worried about your boss. With employees like you who steal and cheat, your school is doomed sooner or later."

Gin's veins bulged as he roared, "Shut up!"

He pulled a black pistol from his pocket and pressed it against Shaga's forehead.

Xia Jia chuckled: "Hey, are you a primary school student? Trying to scare people with a toy gun?"

Gin was about to retort when he suddenly felt something was wrong with the gun in his hand; it felt like secondhand plastic, which almost made him freeze.

Amuro Tooru looked at Gin with suspicion, thinking: Has this guy changed his personality after being the cafeteria manager for two days?

Gin lowered his head, covered his eyes with the brim of his hat, put the toy gun back in his pocket, and took out a check from another pocket.

He quickly wrote down the amount and said, "This is a 500 million check. Sell me 10 tons first."

Xia Jia jumped off the bar chair, put the check in her pocket, and said, "Thank you for your patronage. Please come again next time."

The two watched Gin leave, his hat pulled down, and Shaka couldn't help but chuckle.

"This guy is quite interesting."

Amuro Tooru's lips twitched: "Yes, yes..."

……

After leaving the izakaya, Xia Jia took a taxi and, looking at the neon lights of the city at night, arrived in Ginkgo City.

It was 10 p.m. when Xia Jia walked through the crowd and arrived at the ground floor of a high-end restaurant.

He found a chair in the convenience store across from the parking lot, took a lollipop out of his pocket and put it in his mouth, then took out his phone and started typing a message:

[Shaka]: Hey bro, do you know anything about the Karasuma Research Institute?

[Kotoko Iwanaga]: Why are you asking this? Besides, I'm a paranormal expert, not a know-it-all.

[Xia Jia]: No, I just felt that you could answer any of my questions, so I asked.

[Kotoko Iwanaga]: Karasuma Research Institute... I think I've heard a bit about this recently.

[Shaga]: You really knew.

[Kotoko Iwanaga]: I've only heard of it, let me think...

A moment later, the phone beeped again.

【Kotoko Iwanaga】:

Karasuma Research Institute, a pharmaceutical research and development company established in the last 20 years, has something strange about it. The company's head recently established a high school and is offering generous salaries to attract students with exceptional talents.

[Shaga]: A special talent?

[Kotoko Iwanaga]: I heard about this from a person in charge at one of the companies we work with. Apparently, her brother was specially invited because he plays the guitar very well. They can even offer better jobs and schools for his family.

[Shaga]: The cooperating unit refers to... special courses?

[Kotoko Iwanaga]: You know, then it's easy to explain.

……

Xia Jia ended her call with Iwanaga Kotoko and took out the [ST] phone to call Kato Megumi.

beep...

Xia Jia smiled and said, "Inspector Kato, what have you been busy with lately?"

Kato Megumi frowned: "Fighting monsters? What? Is it about the special class?"

Shaka said seriously, "It's about Karasuma High School."

Kato Megumi thought for a moment and said, "Karasuma High School? Oh, that's Nao-chan's older brother. He had already dropped out of school, but I didn't expect him to be noticed by an entertainment high school because of his performance."
