45. Grudge·Gaya Coconut
Of course, the bartender's reliability has never been demonstrated in front of Sakurai.
"I feel like giving you a slap right now."
Looking at the bartender's face that looked like he deserved a beating, Sakurai's tone suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Come on, Sakurai-san. We rely on this face to make a living."
Shrinking his neck, the bartender couldn't help but smile, fearing that Sakurai would put his innermost thoughts into action.
He knew that Sakurai always acted faster than he spoke.
Do what you say is almost Sakurai's motto.
The bartender doesn't want to unlock the experience of being beaten up for no reason or anything like that for the time being.
My old friends will laugh their heads off.
"Forget it. Compared to giving you a slap, I think this is more satisfying."
As he spoke, Sakurai reached into his shoulder bag and threw his spoils from the H city site to the bartender.
"Why don't you just give us a slap, Sakurai-kun."
“I think this is more comfortable.”
"How about just consider it as a favor, please."
After a puzzled look, the bartender silently put on the mask of pain.
What is this?
It hasn’t been that long and Sakurai-kun has even got this.
I really did fight with those guys.
"Anyway, I sent you there. How you deal with it is your business. I have no right to interfere."
"I don't have the habit of taking back things I give away. You can do whatever you want."
As he spoke, Sakurai put the last bit of curry and rice into his mouth, picked up the cup and gulped it down in one gulp.
Sakurai stood up and turned over and got on the motorcycle.
"Send me the address, and all the compensation will be paid in the form of leftover food. It's a deal."
Without giving the bartender a chance to persuade him to stay, Sakurai stepped on the accelerator and left the pub.

According to legend, a person's inner anger after an unjust death will cause a strong resentment to linger in the place where the deceased lived before, forming an evil dark force with a curse.
This evil curse power is called [Curse].
And in the place where the deceased lived before his death, resentment accumulates to the sky. Anyone who touches it will die, and a new curse will be created, causing the horrific death to continue to spread.
There was a woman who was introverted and lacked the love of her family and friends during her lifetime. She only had a black cat as a companion.
Later, due to various accidental factors, the woman was brutally dismembered by her husband by chance.
She died unjustly and turned into the "Grudge", cursing everyone who lived in this house.
Sakurai's target this time is the earthbound spirit named Kayako.

"Hello, it's me..."
"Swindler, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Let me deal with an earthbound spirit or something, why don't you just arrange for someone to blow up the house?"
"I remember your demolition team is good at dealing with guys like this, right?"
After Sakurai found the long-abandoned haunted house according to the address given by the bartender, he saw the story summary prepared by the bartender for him.
Take a look at this classic courtyard style residential bungalow.
Sakurai called the bartender with a frown on his face.
After the bartender made a solemn promise to him, he thought the enemy this time was very special, but it turned out to be just an earthbound spirit or something. It was a bit too much of an underestimation of him.
As his first major battle after rehabilitation training, he must be at least on the same level as the God of Wilderness, even if he can’t face a strong enemy like the Mountain God.
Sakurai thought that the bartender would not play such a stupid joke on him, but it was indeed too weird.
"Brother Sakurai, don't underestimate her. If that girl says it's so easy to deal with, then there's no way we'll leave her to you."
The bartender, whose tone was similar to that of a matchmaker who brought men and women together, laughed out loud.
"I think we've mentioned this before, the cursed Kayako is a member of the ghost story."
"With her as the source, everything and everyone related to the curse cannot be destroyed."
"Otherwise, we would have already arranged for someone to blow up this house."
The bartender, who had long guessed that Sakurai would call him, had also prepared his words and smiled as he added relevant information to Sakurai.
"She is immortal and has indiscriminate hostility towards the living. If she could only target people who entered the haunted house, and if we noticed something was wrong right away and arranged for someone to use special means to hide the haunted house, I don't know how many people would have died at her hands and turned into a new curse."
"Kayako is like a virus, spreading the toxin called the Grudge to all those who enter the haunted house."
"There is no other solution except for the killing of all those involved."
"You know, Sakurai-kun, I'm just a businessman in an izakaya. I don't have that much power."
When Sakurai heard this, a smug face of shrugging shoulders and touching nose appeared in front of him.
"If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll go back and fight you right now."
"I'm also curious if I can take you down now."
Sakurai snorted coldly, and after being stimulated by the bartender's words, he indeed had such an idea.
Now, can he agree to the bartender?
By the way, find out the other party's background and see who this guy is.
Sakurai had a very absurd guess that if there were real gods in reality, the bartender would be the only one among the people he knew.
"Come on, Sakurai-san. I was just joking because I was afraid you were bored."
The bartender begged for mercy at such a fast speed that he almost fell to his knees in front of Sakurai.
Even if he was drunk and unconscious, there was no way he could fight Sakurai.
Not to mention he's only been breastfeeding lately.
There is no benefit in winning, and it is embarrassing to lose.
For the bartender, it's either a profit or a loss, so he won't do anything that doesn't benefit him anyway.
Not to mention, he is really a little weak now.
What if Sakurai explodes? He would be disgraced.
He is not like Sakurai, he doesn't feel any pain at all.
"Then hurry up."
Sakurai snorted and found that this trick was really useful to threaten the bartender.
It works every time you use it.
There has never been a mistake.
"Anyway, you know, Sakurai-san... I have limitations, so I can't just do whatever I want."
"With Kayako's level of supernatural power, even if your elementary school student and the three graduates on hand join forces, there is still a slight chance of winning."
"Add to that the special status of the immortal ghost story, this thing technology is a hot potato, which can't be thrown away, and can't be eaten."
"I don't really want to say this, but since I'm restricted, I really can't do anything to her."
After two dry coughs, the bartender told the whole story.
46. First Encounter with the Grudge
According to what the bartender said, Kayako might indeed be a powerful enemy worth fighting.
Listening to the bartender's explanation, Sakurai became a little more interested.
"That's why you recommended this place to me."
"Because I can kill the ghost once and for all?"
Licking his lips, the seemingly plain haunted house suddenly looked different in Sakurai's eyes.
Become mysterious and full of...
Attractive.
It's like a piece of gold placed in front of a gambler at the end of his rope.
What? It's impossible to look away.
What should I do against a strong enemy that I can use my full strength against...
I seem to be getting excited already.
What on earth is going on with this restless heartbeat? I don't remember having such a bad temper.
Sakurai, who had no self-awareness at all, couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Yes, that's right. Anyway, I'll leave the Grudge to you, Sakurai-san. You can set any conditions you want. After defeating the Grudge, I hope you can be merciful and give us the proof of the fallen item."
"We will buy it at a high price and make sure that Brother Sakurai is satisfied."
The bartender with a weird face licked Sakurai and asked for food.
The evidence from the slit-mouthed woman and Hanako made him act big in front of his old friends.
