Chapter 363: with translation of chapter title

Sea grape red bean paste coffee.

Yogurt seaweed sauce miracle coffee.

Oyster sauce apple cider vinegar coffee.

Specially brewed coffee with a blended herbal tea of thirteen herbs, then add tofu, dried small fish, banana, strawberry.

Mentaiko and mayonnaise coffee.

And——luxury mentaiko mayonnaise coffee paired with red bean paste and sea grapes.

Please enjoy the above with BGM: 'Curtain Call with a Cup of Coffee'/as a cup of coffee ends, consume together.

Then you can collapse in that lighthearted, tricky music, just as the song title says.

From the above, it's not hard to see that the coffee names can completely blend into Guangzhou's bizarre coffee list——

——The director of Moye Detective Agency, Moye Xingzi, her understanding of coffee has transcended the realm of beverages.

More like a dish, or a complex cocktail.

Of course, when her coffee can indeed send someone to the clinic, its nature will elevate from dish and drink to medicine.

And in Aomo's limited memory of this, Moye Director's coffee shows more prominent negative stress feedback than positive therapeutic effect, enough to overwhelm the latter.

Thus defining it directly as poison is not arbitrary.

That's quite remarkable.

You should know that even a snake-skin monster's coffee is merely hard to drink, not enough to send someone to the hospital.

Nor will it cause a day-long chaotic effect on the soul of a horse girl with deep spiritual essence.

Transcendent and unworldly, it can be called a magic potion.

Aomo thinks that if he someday feels like raiding the Demon King Digimon of Cocytus, he could bring a cup of her coffee as a finishing move and forcefully pour it into the opponent's mouth.

But unfortunately——when the complex-ingredient coffee is turned into data, its overly rich mouthfeel becomes flat.

From specially shocking hard-to-drink, it becomes merely moderately hard-to-drink.

Moreover, as the director of the Internet Detective Agency directly handling cyber cases, Moye Xingzi not only has myriad connections with Digimon, but also has considerable expertise in brewing coffee for Digimon to drink.

Aomo strongly suspects that the order in this regard might be reversed.

It's hard to say that her treating coffee as a dish wasn't prepared from pondering how to let Digimon experience a richer flavor.

In other words, perhaps the coffee she originally brewed was meant for Digimon to drink, not for humans.

"How? I was planning to use a flavor-enhancing secret recipe of apple cider vinegar to specialize the taste, but considering its compatibility with sea grapes, I gave it up."

"What? Turns out you still know how to subtract?"

A somewhat dizzy Aomo, looking at the woman before him who faintly projected multiple silhouettes, still thought this guy only knew how to add when making coffee.

Like yuzu pepper sour cream coffee, eight-spice miso cream cheese wasabi blended coffee—these things sound like coffee not of this world.

Just from the name, it resembles a light novel title from the Jidong region, displaying an extraordinary Hei'an flavor.

Indeed, the long titles of Jidong light novels are because they use the title as a synopsis for easier reading and greater exposure; then why is your coffee name so shocking—what are you aiming for?

The answer is——it's also a synopsis!

To prove that her coffee really contains these things. jpg

"Master, just now……no, are you alright?"

Bopan trotted forward and supported Aomo, who was sitting but his body slightly swaying.

The considerate cyber horse girl didn't rush to ask about the scene she saw upon arrival, but immediately expressed concern for the trainer whose condition was clearly off.

But Aomo did not overlook his first half; that was still clear, and his somewhat sluggish thought instantly realized a fact: a rebroadcast of the misunderstanding-series imagery.

This girl, when she just arrived, probably happened to see Moye Xingzi bending over to hand him coffee.

Ah…

Wanting to say something, but feeling too many distractions, thoughts break quickly, continuation always sluggish.

He already understood why Zhouri Ningjing was so foolish that day, and he even suspected he had drunk the same.

"Don't worry, he's fine; although it's a work improved from Ningjing-kun, it's special that he didn't faint—you've indeed arrived here, haven't you, Lindon-kun?"

Oh… it was also improved……Grandpa is really strong… or is it Gurira that's strong?

Eh! We're truly strong! Haha, wanton slaughter!

Ah, it's off again… focus, focus……

Aomo raised his hand, covered his forehead and swayed, then turned his head to look at the pair of dark brown eyes observing him.

Calm yet confident.

Among youths who mostly chase fashion trends, such eye style and pupil color are somewhat too plain, clashing with her brilliant golden long hair and her overly figure‑showing clothing style.

And this contrast also leaves a sufficiently deep impression.

"... Have you come here?" Aomo slightly shifted his gaze, and together with Bopan looked at that woman.

Even though thoughts in his mind boiled and flipped left and right, that basic judgment remained sufficiently firm, allowing him to grasp the point immediately.

Aomo's B-grade mental resilience is thus demonstrated, far surpassing a certain pitch‑black Sunday by 1000%.

"Yes, this cup of coffee was also meant to strengthen your early foundation from your past version, but now it seems rather superfluous."

"... Dig… Digital soul?"

"Indeed, just as Takumi said, you've done plenty of homework."

"... Can't you be a bit gentler?"

"I'm quite gentle; I specially researched a plan to materialize the Digital soul into coffee, and even Ami praised my technique as perfect."

"……" Aomo fell silent, glancing at Takumi who had shifted his gaze to avoid eye contact.

As a brother, he seems really unwilling to admit that his sister defected too early.

I know, you must be acting Involuntary!

The evil Alpha Beast definitely slipped an evil taste plugin in when your body data was being digitized!

Aomo didn't hesitate to speculate with maximum malice about the woman who tainted the coffee, but when it came to actually showing it, politeness still prevailed.

This is the cruelty of society, making people subconsciously hide their true feelings!

"... My meaning is, you don't have to forcibly add coffee, right?"

"What are you saying? Asking you to drink coffee is far more important to me than the Digital Soul Basic Plugin!"

"... Thank you for your kindness!"

The mercenary of the agency, bearing the Chaos BUFF and disguising as a societal person, finally revealed emotion in the brief gritting of teeth.

"No need to be so agitated in your feedback! Calm down and express your feelings!"

Really not intentional?

Looking at this woman's expectant expression, Aomo turned his gaze to Xiangyu Tuohai, only to see him still awkward.

Isn't there anyone who straightforwardly said the other's coffee is terribly hard to drink?

This woman actually really looks forward to giving feedback—it's simply—

"... It's complicated; with my... poor taste buds, I can't tell, but all my taste buds are activated, I feel... a possibility."

Aomo answered neither humble nor arrogant, pausing with a touch of Chazuo's style, watching the faint gold-black giant blade phantom behind them gradually dissipate.

Damn, what does it mean that the King Dragon Sword has been drawn out?

The King Dragon Sword, whose true form is the King Dragon Beast, also known as the Ren Dragon Beast, is an Ultimate-level Digital Monster, and can also serve as the armament held by a certain unnamed Royal Knight.

Hmm... which Royal Knight is that? Really hard to guess, right?

"I see." Muhai Xingzi, seemingly unaware of the phantom behind her, actually pulled out a small notebook from her pants pocket and jotted down a note.

Then she raised her head, looking at Bourbon beside Aomo.

At the same moment, Aomo raised his hand, and with his thoughts slightly clearer due to the time shift, he made himself step back a few steps while protecting Bourbon beside him.

Then they both looked at the woman whose clothing style and direction were the opposite of Belstamon Beast's.

"She doesn't need coffee; we don't have much time to sit here." He even spoke succinctly.

"Training, huh? That's unavoidable."

Perhaps she truly doesn't know how bad her coffee is, but she does know how strong its aftereffect is; Muhai Xingzi lamented.

"I've spent a few years in the Boundary Gate Area, so I'm not unaware of your situation in Tressen; no need to be so wary."

"... Do you watch horse racing?" Aomo was quite doubtful.

By the way, he glanced sideways and scolded the foster father who clearly rarely appears on the screen, preferring to stroll on the desktop rather than greet the other party.

You brought me to see her, and just recently you told me you'd met her too—why don't you come out and say hello!

Aren't you acquaintances! (shout)

Oh, is it because you're an electronic vampire or afraid of drinking data coffee?

Aomo hesitated whether to go ask for a cup of data coffee later.

The other party would surely provide it willingly; that's not the problem, the problem is whether my heart is truly stained black.

Indeed!

Needless to say!

Aomo immediately planned to strike while the iron's hot! That could be considered repaying the other's kindness, right?

Stepping back still means increasing the affection of the agency director who ranks first in completing online case tasks!

But before he could speak, he heard the other party say:

"It can even remind you to watch out for the Moon Chariot Symbol—he wanted to contact you yesterday, but Tuohai cut off the communication."

"?"

Later, to celebrate pulling a heirloom in Apex and the final chapter of BA, I'll add an extra update.
