Chapter 481: Who is the prisoner?
A few days after the end of the Hurricane Competition, the temporary stronghold of the Sea Capital of Demon King City - Cafe.
Sitting in my exclusive seat at the bar, I held my chin in my hand and looked out the window boredly, passing the time by observing all kinds of passers-by.
Bald man in red, Mediterranean bald man in a beanie, and four-eyed middle-aged man with sparse hair...... Could it be that the pressure of life in the other world is really so great, how can five out of ten passers-by be bald at a glance?
"Lord Xu Mo!"
When I was thinking about it seriously, I suddenly heard the girl's immature voice beside me, and I turned around to look, but I didn't see any figure in my sight.
"Master Xu Mo, I'm down there!"
Looking down at the source of the voice, I saw that the twin sisters who had been abducted from the headquarters were squatting under the bar, and there was a rare crying expression on her face, which was always full of energy.
"What the hell, who bullied you again?" I reached out and slapped the tabletop, my bare right eye revealing a fierce look, and quickly swept through every corner of the café.
After inspecting the café, unexpectedly, when they met my eyes, none of the customers dodged their eyes weakly, and all of them were very calm, and even many people were not only curious, but also had a bit of a joking look, looking like they were just waiting to see a good show.
Scratching my head, because the title of the champion of the Hurricane Contest has become the best publicity, the café is full of friends these days, and there are no longer only two or three kittens all day long as before, so in the case of a large number of guests, it is impossible to really come forward one by one to check, so after finding that the eye search is not effective, I decisively changed my policy and reached out again to slap the table.
"Just because you don't speak doesn't mean there's nothing going on, and of course you have the right to be silent. However, this is Lao Tzu's territory, so don't leave until you find the culprit!" I stretched out my hand and snapped my fingers, and Luvica, the Kanban girl who had a bad attitude towards work and couldn't even pour water, said, "Close the door and let the dog go!"
Luvica put down the magazine in her hand and walked to the door to flip through the open door number and turn it into a repair. Then he turned his head and added solemnly, "The door is closed, but there are no dogs."
「…… It's just a stalk, don't take it too seriously, just forget if you don't understand." I was destined to have no common topic with Luvica and the others in this matter, so I had to swallow the bitter feeling with my nose in my mouth.
Seeing that I didn't look like a joke, there was a commotion among the guests who noticed that something was wrong, and some of them stood up and wanted to come out and reason with me. However, he was forcibly pulled by his friends, and after struggling for a while, he found that he couldn't get rid of it, so he had to borrow a donkey to go downhill, and he snorted with a toothache before sitting down again.
"Why are you holding us?"
"Do you want to do business? Do you know which big brother I'm messing up with?"
The lone rebellion was suppressed, but the masses did not give up their rights, and with tacit eye contact, the customers chose to huddle together to fight against the inhumane café owner.
Seeing the outrage among the customers, I luckily expected this to happen. We have prepared countermeasures in advance.
"Listen to me first, and if you have any grievances, I'll talk about it later." Whispered. I raised my hands and reassured, "Don't talk any other nonsense, anyway, I'm here to announce as the store manager that as long as the prisoner is caught, then the prisoner will pay for everyone's consumption today!"
As soon as these words came out, the original opposition suddenly disappeared.
"It's unbearable to dare to make an innocent little girl cry."
"yes. The heart of justice in me is about to move!"
"It's not for this place...... is it," a passer-by complained in the crowd, and of course, no one in the audience heard him.
"Okay, since everyone is willing to cooperate, then let's go straight to the criminal investigation." See that the customers have no objections. I nodded in satisfaction, then I reached out and pulled my twin sister, the girl named Ray, up, and asked kindly, "Come, who bullied you just now?"
Ray winked at me so fast that it was like sand in his eyes.
"Well, you don't just blink." I was stunned for a while, and after a while, it suddenly dawned on me that daring to love was the little girl's fear of things, and the reason why I didn't say it on the spot must be for fear of being troubled by others.
Thinking of this, I immediately reached out and patted Ray's shoulder, lending her confidence in the form of physical contact, and then again, Ray's sister didn't know why she was half-hiding at the kitchen door, and she looked at me with a strong look, looking like her eyelids cramped, could it be that there was some mysterious connection between the twin sisters, and the sister's eyes got into the sand, and even the sister who was okay was affected.
The blink session lasted for about half a minute, and finally Ray suddenly closed his eyes and sighed deeply, with a sense of self-abandonment in his tone: "No one bullied me."
I thought about it for a while, and asked incomprehensibly, "No one bullied you, so you looked like you were about to cry out of grievances just now?"
Hearing me ask, the facial features on Lei's petite face wrinkled on the spot, and his two little hands clenched the hem of the maid's skirt full of ruffles, and he was in a stalemate with me for a long time before he finally lost the battle, and said loosely, "Lord Xu Mo."
"Huh?"
"It's Lord Xu Mo who bullied me." Ray shouted in a very loud voice, as if he had no idea what to do: "The kitchen has run out of ingredients, but the spare ingredients are all in the cupboard behind you, and no matter what I called you just now, you didn't react as if you were settled, so when I gave up trying to crouch down and get under you, you suddenly came to your senses, and without waiting for me to explain, you grabbed the prisoner who didn't save it......
After listening to Lei's confession, the scene was silent.
"So does that mean the store manager is a prisoner?"
A customer stepped forward to make a conclusion, but he was immediately covered by his friend next to him, and he was beaten violently.
「…… Being a man depends on integrity, and since the words are spoken, they must be done." I stretched out my hand to wipe my face and instructed Lei, "All the guests present today are free of charge, and when they keep an account, we won't charge them."
"The store manager is wise."
"I didn't know now that the store manager was so handsome."
Hearing this, the customers, who are vested interests, immediately patted their ass, but I couldn't be happy just listening to these flattery words.
In the kitchen, the twin sister, who has a strange mouth, has a sad expression: "Ha wow wow this week's revenue has been wasted again......
Everyone was immersed in different thoughts, but at this time, the wind chimes by the door rang, and following the source of the sound, a middle-aged man in a white shirt ignored the closed door sign hanging at the door, and actually pushed the door open.
And the man in the white shirt inexplicably became the focus of everyone's attention in the café, and he couldn't react for a while, opened his mouth, neither advancing nor retreating, and said embarrassedly: "Why don't I go out and take a spin or two, and come back later?" (To be continued......)
