The Demon’s Menu

Immediately, Daisy began to whimper timidly, burying her head directly by John’s pant leg.

"Quite a nice dog."

Jason genuinely praised.

After all, even a bear would be scared shitless if it saw him.

"Thank you."

John thanked him but still kept his distance from Jason with his dog, sitting in the hallway and soothing Daisy in a low voice. It took several minutes before John came back.

"Someone beat us to it, taking out Todini and Dodd."

As soon as he sat down, John stated bluntly.

"Their enemies?"

"No."

"It must be two of the girls’ fathers."

"Dodd was beaten to death with bare hands, including his bodyguard and Butler—an overall thirteen people. Aside from Dodd, all were killed with a single blow. The person who acted must be a true martial artist."

"But what concerns me is the other one."

"Shortly after receiving the fax, not only did he manage to stay calm and rescue his daughter, but he also found the true killer."

"Todini and his bodyguards were blown to smithereens."

John explained in detail.

Todini, sponsored by Emod, could be called the mastermind in some sense.

No one would disagree with that.

Then, John looked at Brian.

"Think I did it?"

"I was with Jason just now."

"And among my friends, none have daughters who are missing or kidnapped."

"Of course, I would be happy to make friends with this person."

Brian said with a smile in response to John’s inquiring gaze.

John’s gaze uncontrollably shifted back to Daisy.

Brian cared about his daughter.

John cared about his dog.

Though they were different species, their emotions were real.

Passionate, enduring, and unchanging.

Daisy seemed to feel her master’s emotions, creeping over cautiously, watching Jason as she moved. Upon realizing that Jason wasn’t watching her, she quickly sped up. Then, she deliberately took a detour to avoid coming close to Jason’s side, instead coming over to John and Brian’s side, lifting her head to lick John’s hand.

John placed his hand atop Daisy’s head, gently stroking her.

He felt as if his empty heart was filled.

Daisy had died.

Yet she lived once more.

Just now, inside that dog catcher’s van, he heard a voice just like Daisy’s usual tone.

The eyes were also identical.

Though her appearance had changed, Daisy was still Daisy.

"Thank you for coming back."

John whispered softly.

Brian watched the scene with a smile, then turned his head and glanced toward McCaul, who was fast asleep in the armchair, his smile deepening.

Eventually, Brian looked toward Jason.

"What’s wrong, Jason?"

Brian asked.

Brian had noticed that Jason had been silent since the beginning.

"I’m thinking about what Edward mentioned."

Jason admitted.

Jason had been speculating since the car ride, trying to determine what could compel a city’s defending champion to forsake everything for one ritual after another.

It was imaginable that this matter was terribly serious.

So serious that Edward, the champion of Cherry City, couldn’t face it at all!

Brian furrowed his brows and sat up straight.

John, who was stroking the top of Daisy’s head, paused mid-gesture.

The atmosphere became suddenly tense.

After a moment, Brian looked at the serious expressions of Jason and John and couldn’t help but clap his hands with a smile.

The middle-aged father said with a casual tone—

"Hey, guys! With the four of us together, there’s nothing we can’t solve. It’s not like it’s... an alien invasion, right?"
