I also looked over with Hibiki's gaze. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are a couple of large coffee machines here, and the back compartment is also full of things, and it looks like someone should be taking care of it. However, I didn't see anyone in my sight. It was here that I heard a low answer.

"Okay...... Guest ......"

I was startled by the somewhat muffled voice. Obviously, there was no one here, so why did there suddenly appear a sound? Looking at it again, the menu that Jian Yu had flipped through before was slowly moving on the desktop. To be precise, it seems to be an invisible hand tugging at the menu. Part of the menu had flown out of the counter and was about to land on the counter. It immediately dawned on me that there must be a ghost tugging at this menu.

I knew there were ghosts, but I wasn't scared at all. I was mentally prepared to encounter a ghost before I came, and more importantly, this ghost was working in a coffee shop seriously, didn't it? It should be a harmless ghost. When I think of this, I can't help but want to play a prank. I tugged at a corner of the menu, and the menu stopped moving. I could feel a force tugging at the menu, but it was surprisingly small.

"Why can't you pull it?"

The ghost didn't seem to notice me. Curious, I leaned out and looked to the other side of the menu. Suddenly, I collided with a pair of big black eyes. I saw a little girl on tiptoe at the counter of the coffee shop, trying to reach the menu. She was so short that I didn't notice it at all. I was startled by the girl who suddenly appeared, and quickly let go of my hand holding the menu. The girl stared at me for a moment, then pulled the menu back with difficulty.

After retracting the menu, the little girl crouched down on the counter and began to operate the coffee machine. Soon, she was making my and Kushi's drinks, and she seemed to be a veteran. She placed two drinks on the tray and struggled to lift the tray up the counter. Seeing her struggling expression, I quickly took the tray and put it on the counter.

"Thank you. The little girl nodded at me, then pushed some of the coins on the counter, "Your cup is free." ”

The girl looked to be only ten years old, and was wearing a beautiful gown with long thick black hair. The child's body is different from that of an adult, and her hair often falls easily to the juniors, and she looks as cute as a doll. I didn't want to accept the money, but I was so surprised at the time that I couldn't say no. At this time, another customer walked to the counter, threw some change and began to order. When the little girl saw this, she hurriedly ran over and began to transfer the change to the counter with difficulty.

"Huh, is the thing already coming up?"

He looked at the tray as if he had just noticed, and then contentedly picked up his cappuccino and took a sip.

"It tastes good, but it's a bit expensive. Yu looked at the counter again, "Eh, the money has also been recovered." It's weird, is this an automatic café?"

I stared blankly.

"Isn't it automatic? Didn't a child come and serve us just now?"

"Huh?" said Ku looked at me in confusion, "Where is there anyone! I've been staring at it with wide eyes!"

"If no one brings a drink, why would you drink coffee?"

"Maybe it was brought up all of a sudden, maybe a ghost or something. Yu shrugged his shoulders, "I've been watching carefully, but I didn't expect that just in the blink of an eye, coffee was suddenly served in front of me, and the change on my face disappeared." ”

"So I said, there's a little kid bringing the coffee. ”

He gave me a thoughtful look.

"The little kid you're talking about is probably a little girl with her hair hanging back, dressed in a gorgeous black dress, and she returned the money you gave you. ”

"Don't you see it clearly, why do you have to insist that there is no one at the counter!"

Higaku walked up to me and threw my head to the side. There was a mural hanging in between, showing a little girl standing at the counter, tiptoe pushing change out of the counter. The person on the other side of the counter didn't draw it, so only a pair of hands could be seen. I walked over to the mural and took a closer look. It was indeed the kid who was at the counter just now. Although he looks very young, he is surprisingly polite and capable. No, this is not the point that should be noted. Why is my interaction with the little girl painted in a painting and hung on the wall? Why did the painter know about it in the past, when it was just what happened? I don't understand it at all. Could it be that I was staring at the painting and causing myself to hallucinate?

Ku seemed to have no interest in these things at all, and she happily found a seat with her cappuccino in her hand. She even pulled out a comic book from her backpack and read it with relish. Why, she even said that I read idle books in chemistry class, didn't she bring comic books to school in her bag? The book may have been stolen from her uncle's bookstore......

"Why are there so many people today......

Just as I was complaining in my heart, a sigh suddenly came from behind me. I walked over and saw that it was the same little girl sitting at the counter and sighing. The chair she made looked like a special edition child seat, and she had a few small coffee cups on hand. She looked tired as she swallowed the coffee from her cup.

"That...... Excuse me. ”

Although I don't think it's good to ask questions during other people's precious downtime, I can't suppress my curiosity. The little girl looked up at me, then nodded.

"I see, it's someone who can see me. ”

"My name is Unonpapier-maki, may I ask who you are?" Although the other party is younger than me, it is likely that she is the legendary ghost lady, and she can't judge her age simply by her appearance. I asked cautiously.

"You can call me Sulfona. This café belongs to me. "That said, she dragged her cheeks in boredom, "That said, most of the customers who come to me can't see me, which bothers me. ”

I looked back at Kuri, who was immersed in a comic book, and she didn't seem to be aware of the conversation between me and Sulfona. Maybe when I'm talking to Sulfona, I can't see me.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"It's hard to say, it's partly my own reasons, but also your own reasons. Sulfona shrugged, "It's been a while since I've been here with you, but I still don't fit in well. Actually, I made some mess when I entered, and in return, I need to be here for you for a while. But after thinking about it, I don't seem to have any special skills in my life other than fighting, so I opened a café here. My mother owned a café where I grew up, and that was probably the only job I could do. ”

Sulfona's words are full of fantasy, and although she looks less than ten years old, she seems to be a mysterious character like the Time Traveler. But why did a girl born in a café become a battle maniac with no other skills than fighting, and how did she then travel through different worlds? I think there must be some deep reason for this. Sulfona didn't seem to explain at all, so I didn't want to ask.

"Well, what trouble is Miss Sulfona causing you?"

"It's just some strange events and phenomena. "Your world is very unstable, and my power is quite strong compared to your world, so my words or thoughts may affect this world. So, I accidentally got into an accident. Fortunately, I was not seen by ordinary people, and I had no one to talk to. ”

"Sounds like a lot of work. I said, "Doesn't Miss Sulfona feel lonely when no one talks to her, and why can't anyone see you?"

"Maybe it's the wavelength. Sulfona picked up her coffee and took a small sip, "Different people can see different wavelengths. There are many things in your minds that come down to common sense. And what you think is common sense, you don't pay attention to them. What is the principle of it, who is designed in it, what is it, these will be ignored by you and taken for granted. Why is the sky and the sea blue, why does water come out when you turn on the tap? You're not interested in these things, so you don't want to understand why you can buy coffee here. You will not see me. ”

"Is that so?"

I nodded thoughtfully. Why is the sky blue? It seems to have something to do with refraction and scattering, but I don't remember exactly. The sea is blue—is it because it reflects the blue sky?, but why isn't the lake blue? I don't understand any of these things. Every day when I look at the sky and the sea, I don't think about the reason for it. That's why Can't Sulfona be seen.

"Okay, there are too many people here today, I'm tired. Sulfona waved at me and ended the conversation, "Now it's just you and your friend left in the store, take her with you, and close my shop by the way." ”

I left the counter and suddenly felt a flower in front of me, and when I opened my eyes again, I found myself still standing in front of a painting. However, this painting is not the one I saw before, but it hangs by the window, near the seat where Hiki is sitting. It depicts a little girl sitting lazily at the counter drinking coffee. My eyes widened.

"Papier-mâché, let's go back. Ku beckoned to me.

"Ah...... No!" I came back to my senses, "my drink ......"

"I've already helped you drink your drink. Yu shrugged his shoulders, "You've been standing there for half an hour, no matter how you call it, you haven't responded, you can't waste it." ”

I looked back at the hanging bell, and sure enough, it was not early. Sulfona seemed to fall asleep at the counter, and I did as she said and closed the door of the coffee shop.

"Paper roe, this shop is a bit expensive, but the drinks are really good. Satisfied, he patted his stomach and said, "I'll come back next time." You can take this comic book home with you. ”

I took the book and looked at it, and it still had a label on it.

"Sure enough, you took your uncle's book secretly!" Just as I was complaining, I suddenly noticed something, "Oh no! I left the "Design of a Fully Automatic Coffee Machine" in the science classroom! My uncle would scold me if he found out. ”

"Then hurry back and get it, it's still too late. Hibichi shrugged.
