Chapter 3 - The Uncle Who Picks Up Rashly
Chapter 3 - The Uncle Who Picks Up Rashly
Four girls from the school city sat at the small table in the corner, staring at the various customers in the bar, and always felt a little out of place with their surroundings.
"Like...... No one pays attention to us...... It's obviously very lively. Saten Tear was already a little unhappy because of her cheerful personality, "It's obvious that they don't know each other—look at the white-haired blindfolded guy and the mechanical ninja over there (9S and Genji: ......?) over there. Obviously not a one-dimensional guy, why didn't anyone talk to us? Even if it's an uncle......"
"Hehehe...... Mikoto Misaka smiled wryly and waved her hand, "Uncle or something, forget it, right?" One pervert is enough...... Too much feels too much electricity. "There was a black humanoid creature slumped next to him that was still smoking, and it should be Shirai Kuroko if nothing else.
"But somehow I feel like I'm being left out......," Saten continued, "I hate being isolated, even though it's not a gathering of friends. ”
At this time, an uncle really ran over with a wine glass: "It's normal, because it's the first time you've come here, so everyone deliberately doesn't bother you, so you can get used to the atmosphere here...... Well, of course some guys were scared once they came and never came again......"
"Huh? Uncle, who are you? Zuo Tian looked at the middle-aged man dressed in fancy clothes with tears and asked in a daze.
"Oops, oops...... It's really every time I am called an uncle by my young little sister......" This middle-aged man in a pink coat and a hat looked like a compulsory man bowed his head and sighed, "I think I'm still in the range of youth, and even my little Qixu hasn't expressed any opinion in this regard......"
Who is Xiao Qixu!? The four girls asked themselves at the same time.
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself! The sinister uncle took off his hat and put it behind his back, revealing a slightly curly medium-length hair—and a furious ponytail—and said with a grin, "Contemptible Jingle Chunshui, hmm...... Other things, since it's from another world, then you can also talk about it, and it's also excellent to pretend to be a force...... I'm the Grim Reaper! ”
"Death?" Shirai Kuroko raised his hand to object, "Shouldn't it be a bone frame in a tattered black robe?" Uncle, you seem to be a little overweight as a Grim Reaper. ”
Hatsuharu Katoriya also complained mercilessly: "Yes, yes, oh, and the Grim Reaper seems to be carrying a scythe, where is the Grim Reaper with two katanas?" Could it be that it was localized after arriving in Japan? ”
However, Jingle Chunshui seemed to have become accustomed to their reactions, and only sighed again: "Oops, hey, I was misunderstood again...... So I'm less and less interested in Western culture now...... Okay, okay, let's not continue to dwell on the issue of 'Grim Reaper', let's tell the story~"
"Storytelling?" The four girls asked in unison.
"Yes, yes, after all, we are all people from different worlds, and it's not so easy to find a common language, right? Therefore, everyone shares their unique worldview with others, and both the narrator and the listener can have fun from it. A compelling smile rippled on Jingle Chunshui's face, "Don't see anything outside here, the first thing I want to talk about is what newcomers must hear...... The story of this izakaya. ”
"What, uncle, this is a bar, it's not the same as an izakaya...... Uh, it doesn't look like a normal bar, though......" Saten Tears seemed to want to correct the statement.
"Don't interrupt...... Ahem! "When you come to this izakaya, you need to temporarily abandon the common sense of the original world, because this is a real and incredible place, aliens, magicians, angels, demons, octopuses, immortals, youkai, the god of death, robots, ghosts, ghosts, superheroes...... All kinds of people will appear here, so you will be surprised at first, but after a long time, you will probably get tired of aesthetics......"
The four girls touched their ears together - was there an "octopus" mixed in just now?
"Actually, I don't know why there is such a place, but well, it's interesting, there are people from another world, and I don't know why, as long as this place is located, everyone will become harmonious, even if you can't get used to any guy, there will be no hands-on fight...... By the way, it seems that as long as the behavior is judged to be 'evil', it will be forbidden by one's own subjective consciousness, so even if a little girl comes here to play, it is very safe - the boss has two more beers! Qingdao! Room temperature! Jingle Chunshui shouted towards the bar, and then continued, "I'm also an old acquaintance here, and because of my personality, I'm the kind of guy who likes to hook up with newcomers, and many newcomers who were originally scared have become frequent customers here because they were appeased by me." ”
Gradually, the four girls listened carefully to the uncle's words.
"First of all, there are some so-called 'common sense' that are unique here: first, time has no meaning here, and of course I specifically mean that this izakaya (Saten tears: this is really not an izakaya...... Okay, I won't talk about it) time is independent of the time of our respective original worlds, no matter how long we stay here, when we go back, it is still the moment we left, and then...... Once here, we can come back more often! Jingle Chunshui made a very exaggerated action to open the door, "As long as you leave here and stay in your own world for a full day, you can open a door casually, and at the same time think that you will come to this place, then, a magical scene will happen - as soon as you see a flower, you will find yourself here again!" ”
"Now, I'm sorry to ask about one thing...... "Kuroko Shirai interrupted him, "Although we are superpowers who believe in science, I still want to ask...... Is this the place where the gods were created? ”
"Gods?" Jingle Chunshui repeated, then shook his head with a smile, "How is it possible, even a god can't create this incredible place, in fact, I've already known several gods here!" ”
"Oh oh...... "It turns out that there really are gods in other worlds—the girls sighed.
"So let's move on to what is going on here...... In addition to time, as I said before, there is no room for 'evil deeds' here! Even a quarrel is included! So you can talk to others casually, and even if you can't talk together, you can just pass by awkwardly...... Didn't you see it before? The tearing between the Taidao Party and the Great Sword Party is actually not counted in the scope of quarrels, because the actions of both sides do not actually contain real malice. ”
"Oooh oh ......"
"Also, the owner of this place is actually a very interesting guy, when I first came here more than half a year ago, he also ran this place very badly, and there was no sashimi in an izakaya...... I almost decided not to come here anymore, but luckily the guy slowly found the feeling of opening a shop, and the number of things served here was increasing, and it was basically enough to satisfy all the customers...... I just feel that the little brother is a little hard, after all, there are always so many people here every night......" Jingle Chunshui said with a smile.
Tang Xuan, who was behind the bar over there, felt a burst of sadness rise from his heart for some reason, and then, a deep sense of powerlessness enveloped his whole body.
"Uh-huh......" he said to himself, smiling faintly, "I'm a little tired...... But once you accept this setting, it's still quite emotional......"
