Jingle, jingle.
The glass door was pushed open, ringing the wind chime beneath the eaves.
Su Tang stepped inside and looked over the café.
It seemed to follow a small, refined style.
The shop was not large, but every decoration was placed just right, making customers feel warm and comfortable the moment they entered.
Clearly, the owner had put real effort into it.
Hmm…
Worth learning from.
His private clinic could also set up a coffee corner to provide additional services.
It would help patients stay in a good mood.
Pulling out a chair by the window and sitting down, Su Tang placed the copy of Abnormal Psychology he had just bought from a roadside bookstore off to the side.
Then he saw a clerk with purple hair walking toward him.
Perhaps he had arrived at just the right time.
At the moment, he was the only customer in the shop, making the place quiet and peaceful.
The afterglow of the sunset spilled through the glass and across the tabletop, dyeing it a faint orange.
“Hello, sir.
What would you like to order?”
The female clerk leaned forward slightly, a hint of a smile on her face and a pretty blush on her cheeks.
Su Tang raised his head.
Now that she was closer, he could see her more clearly.
Her hair was indeed purple, but a paler shade, closer to violet.
Her side bangs covered one eye, leaving only a stunning glimpse of emerald green visible through the gaps in her hair.
Around her neck was a collar, decorated with a small metal ring that gave it a distinctive charm.
Even more eye-catching was her figure.
Although it was completely covered by her maid uniform, its magnificent curves were still plainly visible.
Violet hair, emerald eyes, collar, large breasts, side bangs, poster girl.
All the key elements were present.
No wonder this café could survive near the city center, where every inch of land was worth gold.
As a boss whose career had only just begun, Su Tang was still quite motivated.
Although a psychiatric clinic and a café belonged to two different industries, one could always learn from another field.
Everyone liked looking at beautiful women, after all.
So he made a horizontal comparison with his own Power.
Hmm…
There really was no comparison.
Putting aside the fact that Power could only come to the clinic on her days off, her hardware alone was lacking.
Her chest was decent compared to an ordinary person’s, but it clearly did not qualify as “huge.”
Maybe he could add some technological assistance, such as breast pads or hip pads?
Or maybe have her cosplay and turn the clinic into a themed hospital?
In that regard, Power did indeed have a natural advantage as a Fiend.
“Sir?
Sir…?”
The voice by his ear brought Su Tang back from his thoughts.
Looking at the female clerk’s cheeks, which were even redder than before, and the faintly reproachful look in her eyes, Su Tang coughed lightly in embarrassment.
Although he had been thinking about serious business, staring at a girl’s chest for so long was ultimately impolite.
From someone else’s perspective, it definitely looked improper.
So he explained apologetically.
“Sorry, I spaced out just now.”
“Mm… It’s all right.”
The female clerk seemed used to her figure attracting attention.
She shook her head and did not dwell on it, merely asking again, “What would you like to drink, sir?”
“A latte is fine.
Half sugar, please.”
After some thought, Su Tang still ordered a latte.
It was milk coffee, fairly sweet, and easier to drink than espresso.
Aside from the period before he transmigrated when he had stayed up late studying for exams, he basically did not drink coffee unless it was sweet.
The same went for other foods.
Biscuits, bread—he preferred them with a bit of sweetness.
Of course, tofu pudding did not count.
Tofu pudding had to be salty.
How was anyone supposed to eat sweet tofu pudding?
“Of course, sir.
I’ll bring it right away.”
Watching the clerk leave, Su Tang noticed that she was also holding a book.
When he had been outside earlier, he had seen someone reading inside the shop and assumed it was a customer.
He had not expected it to be the clerk.
Looks like the boss isn’t here, Su Tang thought with a small laugh.
Then he pulled a small pendant out from beneath the collar of his shirt.
It was a bronze ornament.
It was about three centimeters long, with four green dragon heads at the top, each facing a different direction.
Good.
The eyes did not turn red.
Satisfied, Su Tang tucked the ornament back beneath his collar.
Yes, this was the Talisman Locator from the original Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon.
Su Tang had no idea what method Shendu had used, or what magic he had cast, to shrink it down to the size of a pendant.
All he knew was that, according to their contract, every time he used the abilities he had inherited from Shendu, he had to use this miniature Talisman Locator afterward to search for traces of the Talismans.
If the dragon eyes lit up red, he had to do everything in his power to obtain that Talisman.
This was the price he had to pay for forming a contract with a Devil.
He could not disobey it, nor did Su Tang intend to.
After all, compared with some contracts that demanded lifespan or organs at the drop of a hat, his was already quite decent.
Besides, there was one piece of information only he knew.
According to the original setting, the Talismans would not gradually emerge until the year 2000.
Before that, they were suppressed by righteous magic, and the Talisman Locator could not find them at all.
In other words, before 2000, he could use Shendu’s abilities unconditionally.
He only needed to take out the locator and go through the motions after each use.
Of course, that was the ideal situation.
But this world was full of Devils, after all.
It was no longer the cartoon world Su Tang was familiar with.
Some unexpected change might occur.
So he still told himself that he did not need to force himself to avoid using his abilities, but it was better not to abuse them either, lest he attract some unknown risk.
If the dragon eyes ever turned red after he used his power one day…
Then he would have plenty to keep him busy.
After casually finishing that task, Su Tang picked up the Abnormal Psychology he had placed beside him.
The fake license should be fine for now, but he would still need to take the exam himself in the second half of the year to get a real one.
So he could review some knowledge in advance.
Conveniently, he had discovered that Tokyo had no ordinary number of perverts.
Personality disorders, psychological disorders, intellectual disorders… it had everything.
He now suspected that the gang boss from earlier had an intellectual disability.
That was why he had bought this textbook.
In any case, it was a required exam subject.
When he opened the first page, he realized that he seemed to have bought the teacher’s edition.
Well, teacher’s edition it was.
It explained things more comprehensively anyway.
Not paying much attention to that, Su Tang began reading page by page in the afterglow of the evening sun.
One chapter, then another, then another…
Only when his lips felt a little dry and he wanted to reach for his cup did he finally return from his absorption.
By now, night had already risen high outside.
The shop’s interior lights had replaced the sunset.
He had actually been reading for that long?
Why had the clerk not called him?
Somewhat puzzled, Su Tang rubbed his dry eyes and turned his head.
Just then, the tip of his nose caught the fragrance of violet hair.
