Chapter 564

But according to "The Stranger After Ten Years," it should be possible to grow up in the future.

Yet this drug has a chance of keeping one permanently in child form.

So it's basically a ten-thousand-year elementary student…

"How's it going, Boss Han?"

Seeing Han Feng lost in thought, Lisa grew nervous.

Did the drug fail?

But if it failed, shouldn't Boss Han have said so?

"The drug was a complete success, with no danger whatsoever."

Han Feng said with a smile.

Yet before Lisa could rejoice, he added another line.

"However, there is a certain probability that after taking the drug, one will shrink permanently and never grow again."

"A chance of shrinking permanently? Then it still won't work."

Lisa shook her head and sighed.

She was a perfectionist.

Even though Boss Han said it was only a probability.

But to her, that meant failure.

What use is a drug that prevents growth?

Not everyone wants to stay in a child's state forever.

Even little Keli, she will grow up someday.

"You don't need perfection. Against its powerful effects, this minor flaw is utterly negligible."

Han Feng handed over the drug with a smile.

Before death, many things become irrelevant.

(acee)

So what if you become a child?

"That's true. Then let's keep it for now."

Hearing this, Lisa also found it reasonable.

Maybe it'll have other uses later.

After taking the drug, Lisa pulled out a pouch of Mora.

Then she leaned forward against the counter, curious.

"Boss Han, what's the name of that manga Barbara watched last night?"

Before Han Feng could respond, Barbara couldn't hold back.

Blushing, she tugged Lisa's sleeve and whispered.

"Lisa, that manga is poisonous—I've told you already!"

"You said it had 'clothing-ripping' scenes, so I got curious. Don't worry, sweetie."

Lisa patted Barbara's hand, signaling her not to worry.

As long as she didn't eat the food rewards, it'd be fine.

"If you want to read it, go to that bookshelf—the manga is called 'Shokugeki no Soma.'"

Han Feng pointed in the direction.

Yet after a moment's hesitation, he kindly added a warning.

"It's better to read this manga in private—when food rewards appear, you can use them in your room."

Just pick any empty room on the second floor."

"Thank you so much, Boss Han!"

Lisa's eyes lit up, and she gracefully walked to the bookshelf to take the manga.

This manga has something special about it.

If you can read it in private, undisturbed, that's certainly better.

Suddenly, only Barbara remained in front of the counter.

Seeing Boss Han's gaze turn toward her, Barbara blushed again.

"I'll go read the manga too."

She dropped a pouch of Mora and ran toward the bookshelf.

"What exactly happened to that girl last night?"

Han Feng felt a flicker of curiosity.

Even after what happened in the shop last night, she hadn't been this shy.

Did something happen after she returned to the Windblume Knights?

Recalling the imitation beef he'd taken back last night, Han Feng formed a guess.

"It couldn't be that unlucky, could it?"

The thought of Barbara eating that food and being caught by Qin made his expression strange.

But now it all made sense.

Barbara didn't know Boss Han had already guessed the truth.

She now stood beside the bookshelf.

Seeing the shelves packed with manga, she suddenly felt a headache coming on.

I don't know which one to pick.

"Huh? It seems several new comics have come out?"

Seeing comics she had never seen before, Barbara grew curious.

"Young Lady Barbara, I recommend you read this one, *April Is Your Lie*."

At that moment, Yingmeihe leaned over from beside her to recommend it.

"This one?"

Barbara picked up *April Is Your Lie* and gestured toward Yingmeihe.

"Mm-hmm, this is a comic Mr. Han strongly recommended—it's incredibly healing and beautiful. After Yingmeihe and I finished it, we were overjoyed."

Yingmeihe, or rather, the petty Yingmeihe, lied with a straight face.

Chapter Two Hundred and Seventy-Six: The Zombie Cultivation Method! Qiqi: Can I recover my memories? First thing, I must remember the boss!

Earlier, Yingmeihe and I had been fooled by Mr. Han this way.

Then we were "healed" for a long time.

In the petty Yingmeihe's view, if there was joy, it must be shared!

So this tears and suffering could not be experienced only by her and ~Paimon.

At the very least, she had to pull in more people.

So when she saw Barbara's curiosity, the petty Yingmeihe immediately recommended it to her.

But upon hearing this, Ningguang and Noel at the same table wore strange expressions.

Although they had not read the comic and did not know its contents,

they had clearly seen how Yingmeihe and Paimon had been full of tears, even ready to confront Mr. Han,

and they remembered it perfectly.

Especially Noel—she had been right beside them then.

How could this possibly look like joy?

Yet the two exchanged a glance and silently chose not to expose it,

instead smiling and continuing their card game.

"A healing comic?"

Hearing Yingmeihe's recommendation, Barbara became interested.

If it were merely Mr. Han's recommendation, Barbara—after last night's experience—

might still have skipped it.

But since Yingmeihe had said so, she thought it should be fine.
