Chapter 244 Disrupting the Event
【Juxiang Palace 2】
This restaurant is really popular. As soon as Violet and her friends got out of the ride-hailing car, they could see that there was a huge crowd in front of the restaurant.
"Is it really that delicious?"
Violet was a little confused. She glanced at the sky and saw that the sunlight was a bit dazzling, making her skin feel hot.
If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to freeload off Kikyo the Magician's meal...
She absolutely refuses to come out for a meal, even if you invite Kikyo the Magician.
Although it was hot outside, stepping into the store and feeling the cool breeze made it instantly comfortable.
My mood also felt much lighter.
Six female waitresses stood at the entrance of the shop, dressed in uniform and wearing fluffy cat ears on their heads.
"Welcome! How many people are in your party? Do you have a reservation?"
"The three of you have a reservation, room 203," Kikyo said.
Although they did not cancel their transformation, the waiters looked at them no differently than ordinary people.
This was mainly because Kikyo's magic allowed them to create a simple, concealed barrier around themselves before they arrived.
Ordinary people wouldn't notice anything.
If you can tell, then either she's a magical girl, or she's not a good person.
Anyone who shows shock, fear, or terror upon seeing them—if you arrest ten of them, at least nine are not innocent.
Their main tactic is entrapment!
The lead waitress nodded, her ears wobbling adorably, but they didn't seem to react much to Kikyo, the magical girl.
"Okay, please follow me."
Following the waiter, Violet and her companions began to ascend to the second-floor restaurant.
The restaurant was packed, with customers crowding around every table. Some were talking and laughing loudly, while others were picking up food with their heads down. Waiters wearing cat ears were busy moving among the crowd.
The reservation area for Kikyo the Magician is on the second floor.
The view here is expansive, offering a panoramic view of the bustling city of Yeqiu through the windows, especially the iconic Yeqiu City Broadcasting and Television Station headquarters.
Located in the heart of Yeqiu City, the building's main structure is made of transparent crystal glass. Under the sunlight, it refracts a rainbow of colors, making it quite impressive from a distance.
As Kikyo and the others took their seats,
quickly,
Two more staff members came in, but this time, they weren't the ones wearing cat ears.
Instead, two waiters wearing fox ears came to their table.
These two waitresses, judging from their appearance, seemed to have a different temperament and demeanor than ordinary waitresses. They were more beautiful, their service movements were elegant, and their service was attentive. They seemed to have a higher level in [Juxiang Ergong].
"Dear guests, it is a pleasure to serve you. This is the menu of our [Juxiang Ergong] Hotel."
If there's anything you'd like to eat, just circle it on the menu.
Violet was straightforward; she simply handed the menu to Kikyo the Magician.
Although the other party made the reservation, since we agreed that she would treat us, she had to treat us.
Even Tifa's arrival couldn't help!
She then approached the two waiters and asked, "Hello, why do all the staff on the first floor seem to be wearing cat ears, but when it comes to our side, why do they wear fox ears?"
The waiter, wearing fox ears, smiled warmly and said, "Does the guest prefer cat ears? If you'd like, we can change them to cat ears."
"That doesn't matter. I'm just curious, besides cat ears and fox ears, what other kinds of ears do you have here?"
When Violet entered the restaurant, she saw pairs of cat ears and was reminded of the rabbit headgear in the milk tea shop. She now strongly suspects that this shop is also owned by Erkani.
Why every time?
I keep barging into other people's homes!
She couldn't quite tell if it was fate or some lingering ghost.
The waiter wearing fox ears smiled gently: "Honorable guest, we also have dog ears and rabbit ears. If you would like, we can change them."
"Can I not wear earrings?"
Violet spoke, her pale purple eyes quietly observing the two waiters.
"Guest, I'm afraid this won't work..."
"Okay, I understand. Sorry to bother you."
Violet smiled and returned to her seat. After asking that question, she clearly saw a hint of confusion flash in the other person's dull and empty eyes.
"Miss Violet, what's wrong?"
Kikyo, the magician, handed the menu to the waitress beside her, and after they left, she asked a question.
"I suspect there's something wrong with this shop, but I have no proof."
"Can you tell me the specifics of your suspicions about this store?"
1
After hearing this, the magician Kikyo's expression turned serious. Many citizens come here to eat, and if the other party poisons the food, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"It's probably just intuition. After all, I haven't seen any restaurant that requires its staff to wear all sorts of earrings. Of course, the specifics depend on the food the restaurant makes and whether they put any random things in it."
"Okay, I understand."
While Kikyo and Violet were communicating, Amane sat to the side, devouring her pre-dinner dessert.
She showed off a whole plate of chilled watermelon all by herself.
at the same time,
The boss's office on the other side,
A young man is sitting in his office, engrossed in playing a video game.
suddenly,
A shrill voice rang out from outside the door, "Boss, something terrible has happened! A magical girl has come to our restaurant to eat!"
The young man was also startled by the sudden shout.
The game interface turned completely black, and the corpse in the game turned into a monkey hair.
"What are you yelling about? Are you wailing like someone is mourning?"
"And how many times have I told you? Knock before you come in! Knock!"
The young man rubbed his temples, somewhat annoyed, unsure whether he was annoyed by his subordinates or by the character in the game.
"oh!"
The man in the black uniform stepped back and knocked on the door: "Boss, may I come in?"
"Come in. What's the point of being so impulsive? It's just a magical girl! Back in Ninomiya City, you all experienced what it's like to be a magical girl. They cried, they made a fuss, but they eventually gave in!"
"It's different, it's different. This time, the magical girls who came include Kikyo, Violet, and Azure Star, whom we captured with great difficulty last time. They're all here."
"???"
With a slap, the man in black was given a hard slap across the face. The young man angrily said, "Such urgent information, and you're only telling me now!"
"The man in black covered his mouth; he felt wronged, but he didn't say anything."
"Did they figure anything out?"
"Neither Kikyo nor Azure Star said anything; one ordered food, and the other ate watermelon. Violet, however, asked why our waitresses wear ears."
The young man pondered for a moment,
"Okay, I understand the general situation. You can go now. Don't serve them any special dishes; just serve them normal human food. And have the kitchen staff make sure the food tastes and looks nice."
"OK."
After the man in black left, the young man looked at his game interface, preparing to start another game.
His phone suddenly rang, and the screen displayed the four large English letters "BOSS".
The young man quickly went to the computer, closed the game, sat up straight in his chair, and then started a video call.
"Boss."
"Qinglong, how's business at [Juxiang Ergong] lately?"
"Boss, you can rest assured about my work. If you look at the food rankings in Yeqiu City now, our [Juxiang Ergong] restaurant will be in the top five, if not the top three," Qinglong grinned.
"Fame is a good thing, but it's also a bad thing. A tree that stands tall in the forest will surely be felled by the wind. I believe you understand this principle. The shop has been a bit too high-profile lately, so it's best to tone down the hype. Otherwise, it won't be good if it attracts magical girls too."
"clear."
Qinglong wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. Right now, there were three living Yama kings sitting in his shop.
"By the way, Azure Dragon, didn't Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise come over last night? How did the three of you coordinate?"
"Zhuque, I think she still needs more training. She clearly told me that the Violet Mage was in the Tianxin District, but this morning, just when I was about to successfully capture the target, the Violet Mage showed up. If I hadn't been strong enough, I would have almost been defeated there," Qinglong said with a look of lingering fear.
"As for Xuanwu, I haven't received a reply from them yet."
"Okay, I understand. The first batch of demonic weapons has arrived in Yeqiu City. I plan to arrange for them to stay at the [Juxiang Ergong] Hotel. They should have already set off. You can go and meet them later."
"Cough cough cough~!"
Upon hearing the boss say those words, Qinglong coughed so violently it was almost unbearable.
"Well, boss, now might not be the best time."
"What's wrong? Are you sick?"
Hearing the cough, Erkani sat up on the other end of the video call, looked at Qinglong's pale face, and pondered:
"It's alright. Go and settle them down first, then take them to the hospital for a thorough check-up. You can ask Baihu to reimburse the medical expenses."
"There are magical girls in the hotel now, and I'm worried that if I bring them over, it might cause conflict."
"Oh, a few magical girls?"
Upon hearing about magical girls, Ercani immediately became interested and asked curiously.
"Three," Qinglong replied.
"That's perfect! Take those seven corrupted weapons back to the hotel, capture those three magical girls, and bring them to the base." Hearing this number, Ercani pondered for a moment and then smiled.
Azure Dragon: "...."

Qinglong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; this time he was truly drenched in sweat.
"Boss, this... If it were an ordinary magical girl, I would naturally capture her without hesitation. But these three magical girls are the Azure Star Mage, the Violet Mage, and the Kikyo Mage. Last time, it took us a lot of effort and a lot of people to capture the Azure Star Mage. If we capture all three of them now, why don't you just send me to jail instead?"
"Ahem, we still need to take it slowly."
Erkani took a sip of water after hearing this, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere: "By the way, didn't Azure Star become Naraku Star? What, did it turn back?"
"I haven't heard the details yet, but from the surveillance footage, it seems that the other person's clothing has changed back to the previous azure blue magical dress."
Qinglong activated the surveillance camera in Kikyo's private room, recording the three of them and sending the footage to Ercani.
In the scene, Kikyo and Violet are chatting casually.
Only Azure Star was there eating watermelon. Erkanni stroked his chin, watched for a long time, and then slowly revealed a helpless smile: "This Bai Yuze, he really does have some skills."
Azure Star came to Yeqiu City from Ninomiya City.
There are only two reasons,
Firstly, since Bai Yuzhe brought him to Yeqiu City, he is very likely either the Kikyo Magician or the Violet Magician. Considering what Qinglong just said, it's possible that Bai Yuzhe is the Violet Magician. However, this can only be considered speculation. Since the emergence of magical girls, he has studied them for so long and has yet to see a single male magical girl.
The second possibility is that Azure Star was either healed or suppressed by Bai Yuze, and then ran to Yeqiu City to seek help from the Kikyo Magician and the Violet Magician.
But these are things to think about later.
The problem is that they're all gathered together now, and if things aren't handled properly, who knows what might happen to the [Juxiang Ergong] business that they finally managed to open?
It's going to get smashed again.
Damn it,
Since arriving in Yeqiu City,
After he took over the storefront that bastard Ye Qing gave him as a gift, every time he opened a store, it got smashed. No matter how rich he was, he couldn't afford to throw money away like that.
"Okay, let's not serve them the signature dishes of [Juxiang Ergong] for now. Just serve them some ordinary dishes. Oh, and also tell the waiters to be more normal in their service attitude towards them. Don't give them special treatment just because they are magical girls. Also, when you pay at the cashier, multiply the amount by 1.5."
.
"what?"
"What? Just because these magical girls come to our shop and spend money, they'll definitely go back and tell everyone the food wasn't good. Isn't that indirectly damaging our restaurant's reputation? What's wrong with charging a little extra for reputational damage? Besides, Azure Star demolished our old home, so isn't it normal to pay some compensation for emotional distress?"
"Don't think that just because they're magical girls, we have to spoil them."
"oh oh."
Qinglong wrote down all of his leader's instructions. He could tell that his leader seemed very angry with the person who had smashed up his shop.
Give the order here.
The food was served quickly.
Three people, five dishes: three meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and one soup. They all looked very appetizing.
Violet picked up her chopsticks.
She was starving, so she got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for the Abyss Demoness, and then returned from Ninomiya City to Yeqiu City. Even after returning to Yeqiu City, she was still uneasy.
She rescued her younger sister, confronted the corrupted magical girl alongside Kikyo, and afterwards, worried about her sister, she went back to prepare a meal and took Amane to Kikyo for help in healing her.
From morning until now, it's been like a tightly wound spring that hasn't stopped.
After taking a few bites,
The taste was not bad, but after a few more bites, she felt that the taste was a bit bland.
It wasn't exactly bad,
However, it still falls short of the delicious food described in the reviews.
"What do you guys think?"
Violet looked up at the two magical girls beside her.
"It's alright, I can eat." After saying that, Tianyin opened her mouth and started eating. She was similar to Violet, she had been starving since morning, so it was good that she could eat.
"fine."
I found Kikyo Magician's experience rather bland. Many restaurants are more about the atmosphere than the food, and this restaurant's decor was quite nice.
"Okay, fine."
Seeing that they had no objections, Violet didn't say anything more and quickly finished her rice.
After finishing the meal,
He then stood up and went out to pay the bill.
In fact,
Sometimes, having a cash register that's too high isn't necessarily a good thing.
E.g,
Now, Violet stood on tiptoe, trying to peek out and tell the waiter she wanted to settle the bill.
But the cashier with rabbit ears at the checkout counter acted as if she hadn't seen her at all, remaining indifferent.
"Hmm:::"
Violet was somewhat embarrassed and angry. Just as she was about to walk around the cashier and go directly to talk to the waiter, she suddenly realized that someone had gently picked her up.
At this time, she
Not only could she make eye contact with the cashier, but she could also catch a glimpse of the bright, gentle gaze of the magical girl in the pale white magical dress beside her.
This faint lavender scent is very familiar.
Who else could it be but Kikyo the Magician?
Violet's cheeks flushed a faint blush, like a newly blossoming flower bud, and she shouted:
"Waiter, the bill, please!"
"OK."
The waiter wearing the Jiezi ears smiled slightly, handed a bill to the Violet Magician, and said, "Hello, esteemed guests, your liver fee is 771 yuan in total."
"What? How much did you just say?"
"771 yuan, miss."
The cashier smiled again in a friendly manner.
Violet:
No, is your family's food made of gold or silver?
The last time I went to Fukangxiang Restaurant, five dishes only cost a little over 500 yuan, and that was the most expensive restaurant in Yeqiu City.
Violet remained silent for a moment.
In the end, he took out his phone and paid the bill with a sullen expression.
She doesn't care about money.
But she's not the kind of person who doesn't value money.
You say your food is fine, expensive, no problem. But actually, the taste is just average. And you say the service is good...
No problem. But the two staff members who served us first disappeared after they brought us a plate of watermelon.
never mind,
Even in front of Kikyo, the magician, she still paid attention to her image.
and,
How long do you intend to keep hugging me?
Violet's pale purple eyes gazed at Kikyo, the magician, as if she were holding her own child.
It felt strangely indescribable.
This was the first time for her.
Being held in someone's arms and lifted high in the air.
Violet turned her head shyly, her eyes sparkling with tenderness as she looked at the Kikyo mage. Reluctantly, she poked the latter with her finger, saying somewhat angrily, "Have you hugged me enough? Put me down!"
Violet's voice wasn't loud, but Kikyo the Magician heard it very clearly.
She smiled slightly and gently put Violet down, but her hand still gently supported Violet's back, as if worried that she would fall.
After Violet stood firm,
She gently straightened her skirt, didn't even glance at Kikyo, and ran straight back to her private room.
I can't stand it.
That damned Kikyo mage, all she knows is how to take advantage of herself!
