Chapter 193
Haruto Saito pondered for a moment before grinning and saying, "Grilled meat! I want wild boar hind leg!"
"Lord Kishin, I'm counting on you!" Haruto then turned toward the back and added, "Please bring my dinner as well as Lord Jiridou's grilled wild boar hind leg as soon as possible!"
"Hmph!" Kishin let out a soft snort, clearly displeased with Haruto's attitude. However, he didn't say anything else. Instead, he turned around and knocked on the door.
The ninja outside the prison cell heard the sound and immediately formed hand seals. Soon, the sealing marks on the prison door faded, and the door opened. Kishin stepped outside and quickly instructed, "One of you, go inside and keep watch."
As Kishin left, one of the two Anbu guards at the door stepped into the cell, his gaze fixed on Haruto and Jiridou. Haruto turned to glance at him. His Anbu codename was "Xili," and he had a reputation exceeding five thousand. Among the Jonin, he was a formidable presence.
Haruto then shifted his focus back to Jiridou and picked up a deck of playing cards, shuffling them skillfully.
Earlier, he had mentioned that he was going to perform magic tricks for Jiridou.
With a flourish, the cards rustled as he shuffled them repeatedly. Then, he extended the deck toward Jiridou and said, "Lord Jiridou, please pick a card!"
Jiridou reached out immediately, showing no hesitation. He had already agreed to cooperate with Haruto, treating this as part of the "game."
"Don't let me see it. Look at it yourself and memorize it," Haruto instructed as Jiridou drew a card.
Jiridou held the card close, lifting a corner to peek at it. The Queen of Hearts.
