Chapter 1 - The Strange Bar

"Hi children, I'm the owner of this bar, Tang Xuan! Ah, of course, you may wonder if I have a brother named Tang Yuan or something, and I must tell you one thing very responsibly...... No. ”

Very remote alleys, this place is rarely passed, probably no more than two hands a day, and even if you come here, it is difficult to find a bar in this place without looking carefully.

I can't imagine what age this is, and some people still believe in the saying "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys...... The competition between all walks of life in modern times is actually very terrible, like this kind of self-righteousness, opening the store in such a rare place, I guess the boss now regrets it very much, right?

However, if you think so, you are wrong.

In fact...... The owner seemed to be very happy with it.

Tang Xuan stood behind the bar counter of the bar, wiping his glass and muttering, "It's your first time here, right?" Fortunately, this is a magical bar, although it has not opened yet, but since it is an underage girl, let you come in to avoid the rain, it is almost winter, and the rain has been falling for several days~ Oh, I have juice here, do you want to have a little? Of course, there is a fee. ”

The four girls who walked into the bar all looked confused, and then looked back at the unfamiliar door behind them...... Immediately everyone fell silent.

One of them, a girl with short brown hair and a thin summer sweater and a gray pleated skirt, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and asked, "Is this a prank you made with your superpowers?" What is your purpose? Kidnap? ”

Tang Xuan put the cleaned cup aside, leaned on the bar with his upper body, leaned in front of the girl, squinted his eyes, and finally came out of his mouth: "Aren't you from the mother world?" Shhh......h I haven't watched anime for a long time.,You should have been a few years ago? Looks familiar......"

"Y-What are you talking about?" The girl with short brown hair frowned, and a trace of electric light appeared on the corner of her forehead, "Answer my question!" Where is this? Why are we in this place? ”

"Well, it will also discharge...... I don't remember if Pikachu had an official version of Nianghua......" Tang Xuan continued to scratch his head and ponder, "Who is it?" Oh, Mom, I can't think of anything when I'm old......"

The other three girls over there began to whisper, and a short girl with a flower bush on her head whispered, "This person...... Could it be that there is something wrong with the brain? ”

Another girl with long straight black hair and a white plum headdress pinned to her bangs also whispered: "It seems to be like this, but in the early spring, you usually don't speak so directly, it's not polite to say that others have brain problems or something." ”

"Huh? Is it? Sorry ......"

Tang Xuan obviously heard the voices of the girls over there, and then slapped his head suddenly: "Early spring!" What a familiar name! I'm sure I've seen this somewhere! I don't know if I've read the book!! ”

"Ben, book? What is that? The girl with the flowers on her head who was named was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me like that!?" The girl with short brown hair in front of the bar asked with an unhappy expression.

For a while, the wide bar was quiet, and the eyes of the four girls were focused on this boss who might have a sick brain, and after five seconds, the boss with a black back suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Oh, okay! I TM remembered! Early Spring! Right!? ”

"Huh!? Uncle, how do you know my name?? The girl with the flower on her head who was called her full name asked in surprise, "I sometimes forget what my name is!" ”

The black straight girl next to her was not calm: "Hey, early spring, you don't have such strange attributes!" Forgetfulness is not for you! Come back! As he spoke, he was still holding Hatsuharu's shoulders with both hands and shaking it back and forth.

"Oooh...... So that's ......" Tang Xuan looked at the short-haired brown girl with an unhappy face in front of the bar, "The long-ago memories are slowly emerging...... Yes...... How long ago was that? I was imprisoned for 10,000 years, and I was robbed of the four planets left by my grandfather, and then I happened to meet a silver-haired nun who fell from the sky on the balcony of my house...... A well in the backyard leads to Japan's Sengoku period five hundred years ago...... Well, a magical girl who drives a male fire dragon with a Poké Ball...... The fox-haired boy of the M233 Nebula clamors to conquer the Red Rabbit Horse...... I suddenly remembered a lot of things. ”

After listening to the above paragraph, the brown short-haired girl finally determined one thing - this man really has a brain disease.

"Okay, okay, let's stop scaring you." Tang Xuan smiled and took out a few cans of juice from under the bar, the smile on his face was really sunny and bright, "Just like I introduced myself at the beginning, my name is Tang Xuan, and I am the owner of this magical bar...... Aha, this must be the famous super electromagnetic cannon, right? I am fortunate to be happy to meet for a long time, as the so-called electric light of your fingertips is my unchanging belief in this life, you can come to my small shop, it really makes this ghost place shine 2333......"

This man is indeed sick in the brain - Mikoto Misaka muttered to herself in her head, but at least she couldn't bear to curse: "Since you know my name, it should still be in the school city, and it's against the rules to use superpowers casually to affect the daily lives of others!" There are two members of the Discipline Commission behind me! ”

A few seconds after the words fell, the hands of the large clock hanging on the wall behind the bar pointed to seven o'clock, and in an instant, an inexplicable sense of disobedience swept through the bar, and Mikoto Misaka trembled, feeling as if her hairs stood on end.

"What, what's going on? I suddenly felt a little chilling...... Is it some kind of psychological suggestion? What did you do!? At this point, she naturally wouldn't be polite anymore, and a large handful of squeaky lightning flashed out of her hand, aimed at the strange bar owner, and asked loudly.

Tang Xuan didn't seem to see her threat of force, with a flat smile on his face, he continued to take out a cup from the counter behind him and wiped it with silk.

He muttered, "It's open......

Then, a mature man with white hair and a red leather trench coat pushes open the retro spring door and walks into the bar.

"Yes, it's still me...... Or the usual ...... Oh, I'm in a good mood today, you can add some onions to the pizza, and it's no problem to make the strawberry sundae a little sweeter......" The red-clothed man with a silver sword on his back sat straight in front of the bar and said to Tang Xuan, suddenly twisting his head to the short-haired brown girl who was still discharging in his hand.

"Uh, this look ......" Mikoto Misaka felt a pang of nervousness for some reason when she saw this man's eyes, and the lightning in her hand disappeared.

The white-haired man in red leaned his face in front of her, looked at her carefully, and after a while, he said to himself, "It's not a demon...... New to the scene? Alright, young lady, may I treat you to a glass of soda? ”

Mikoto Misaka looked at the man who was even stranger than the boss - the boss just had a problem with his demeanor, but this man was not only demeanor, but even the clothes were so unrealistic - quickly took a few steps back, and pulled the other three girls to the table in the corner and sat down.

"Ahhh......h Bad woman's fate. The white-haired man in red put his hand on his forehead and sighed, "Are even the little girls from another world afraid of me...... Sure enough, Patty's case is just a special case, and I still don't like children very much. ”

At this time, Tang Xuan walked out of the backstage with two samples of things that should not appear in the bar—pizza and strawberry sundaes—"Hey, Dante, your things." ”

"So fast!!" The white-haired man in red exclaimed.

"Ah, after all, I've almost prepared in advance...... It's just that you suddenly asked for onions to make me a little distressed......"

At seven o'clock, the bar officially opened.

Welcome...... Also, keep your emotions calm.

[To be continued]

I've never seen this kind of subject matter in person, but I always feel ...... Someone should have written something like that...... Well, that's a real headache.
