Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

The aura of Azure Dragon was so powerful that it left Suzaku speechless for a time.

"Okay, okay, don't make such a fuss."

Yi Yin has not made up his mind yet, he just wants to stabilize Qinglong temporarily.

"It's rare for Senior Qinglong and Senior Suzaku to come to Uqbar. How about I treat you to barbecue?"

"it is good!"

Qinglong and Zhuque said in unison, it seems that they really have no resistance to barbecue.

As the saying goes, there's nothing a barbecue can't solve. If there is, then two barbecues will do.

.

After the lockdown was lifted, Uqbar gradually came back to life.

Although the Adventurer's Guild could also enjoy delicious food, Yiyin always felt a little uncomfortable with Catherine watching him.

After eating this barbecue, I'm afraid there won't be much leisure time left - Yiyin thought sadly.

So, you must eat with an open belly! Eat until the sky turns dark, eat until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, and eat until the road is completely wiped out!

As for Luke…it doesn’t matter, White Tiger will take action anyway.

In fact, Yiyin had long been eyeing a self-service barbecue restaurant that was hiring, and now was the time to pay for his dream.

Amidst the smoke, Yiyin chose a four-seater table - as if someone had always been by their side.

Yiyin flipped the barbecue with great skill, allowing it to be heated evenly so that it could be eaten quickly.

Opposite Yiyin was Suzaku. She and Qinglong sat together and seemed to have no resistance to barbecue.

"Meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, I want to eat meat!"

Suzaku was probably possessed by a demon. "I've been cooking for so long, and it's so rare that someone cooks for me. I'm so lucky."

As he spoke, Suzaku secretly kicked Iin with his foot under the table, as if wanting him to take the lead in the conversation.

"Hahahaha, that's right—by the way, Suzaku-senpai, aren't you having trouble acclimatizing? Why do you seem to be recovering so quickly?"

"Actually, I just can't accept this. Hehe, look, Qinglong and the others' monsters have already been upgraded to A-level, but mine is still stuck at C-level, making me seem like the weakest."

"Isn't it?" Qinglong said with a smile.

"Hey!"

Suzaku seemed annoyed, but soon accepted the reality.

"Well... maybe that's true. I don't have the White Tiger's strength, the Black Tortoise's calculations, or the Azure Dragon's intelligence. You're all making progress, but I'm the only one standing still."

"Suzaku-senpai, you can't say that..."

Yiyin wanted to comfort Suzaku, but found that there was nothing to say - what she said was all true.

"Come, eat meat, eat meat."

Feeling extremely embarrassed, Yiyin had no choice but to let them eat meat to ease the embarrassment.

Suzaku grabbed a piece of rare beef and put it in his mouth, chewing it for a while.

"It's good, but not fragrant at all."

Qinglong laughed and said, "Suzaku has a very picky palate. Her highest evaluation of food is 'not delicious'. Yiyin, you've definitely found the right place!"

"No, I mean..."

Suzaku looked troubled. She chewed for a while longer and asked, "Yiyin, are you sure this is really barbecue?"

"certainly……"

Yiyin wanted to admit it generously, but he suddenly froze.

Suzaku simply vomited it out, and the beef that was supposed to be pink minced meat turned into a black mass.

Looking closely, there are spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes, earthworms... and a large indescribable mixture.

Although it was very indecent for Zhuque to spit directly on the table, now was not the time to dwell on it.

Yiyin looked around vigilantly. It was dinner time and there was a constant stream of diners coming and going, almost filling up the barbecue restaurant.

None of them noticed this little incident and were still chatting and laughing while enjoying the barbecue, as if they were eating some rare delicacy.

The originally warm scene suddenly became weird.

Zhuque quickly put the vomit into the trash can on the table, then kicked Yiyin lightly, signaling him to think of a solution quickly.

"Method……"

Yi Yin's face also looked very ugly. She didn't expect that after finally falling in love, she would step on a landmine.

No, that's not the point. The point is... this was a premeditated monster attack!

"What do you think?"

Qinglong put away the smile on his face and seemed to be thinking seriously about it.

"The blockade of Uqbar has been lifted, so there must be a lot of Monster Masters visiting. This must be some monster's ability... Is it 'matter replacement' or 'creation out of nothing'?"

"neither."

Yiyin quickly came up with the answer, "I have a feeling - or intuition, that this monster's ability should be 'dream'."

"Dream?"

Suzaku seemed surprised. "That's your sister's..."

"Yes."

Yi Yin nodded and said, "The Starry Unicorn is a rare monster with two attributes. One of its abilities is Dream. However, I haven't seen an S-rank one use its Dream ability yet, so I'm not sure what's so special about it."

"Don't tell me your sister deliberately made the dream cover the entire barbecue restaurant just to play a little prank on you."

Although Qinglong was smiling, there was no trace of smile on her face.

"I know."

Yiyin felt very heavy-hearted. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to consider this possibility.

"She knew I would come to her to retrieve the meteorite fragments, so she set an ambush for me in advance, wanting me to die painlessly in my dream so that I wouldn't continue to stop her."

To be honest, this is very much like Isabella's style - once she decides on something, she will do it with all her heart, and no one can pull her back.

Moreover, this is consistent with what Isabella said to herself at the end. This is a challenge to herself.

"Don't forget what you said." Qinglong seemed to be urging Yiyin to make a decision sooner.

"Yes. Isabella is the enemy...I will kill the enemy myself."

"But before that... who leaked the news?"

Yi Yin's eyes kept wandering between Qinglong and Zhuque, trying to find any suspicious signs.

"My decision to come to Uqbar was sudden. Xuanwu-senpai should have only told you two. If the information was leaked, it could only be you two."

There are ghosts.

Yiyin really couldn't bear to believe that the senior students he once respected so much would betray him one day.

In this case, Yiyin can only be classified as an enemy.

Yiyin hated betrayal and poison. In his opinion, surrendering to the enemy under any circumstances could not be forgiven.

"Why, are you doubting us?"

The corners of Qinglong's mouth curled up slightly, a hint of a smile. She seemed to be examining some new and interesting toy.

"It's definitely not me!"

Suzaku yelled, "Iin, we're close friends. We fought together in Alderaan. Oh, and that time you tried to take advantage of me, didn't I forgive you generously?"

Yi Yin complained inwardly, "It was obviously your poor cooking skills that caused me to get so carried away that time."

——However, thanks to your performance, I can finally confirm one thing.
