Reijou Wa Mattari Wo Goshomou Volume 1 Chapter 5 Part3

Muuu… *slurping on bubble tea since i don't coffee right now.

“Sugee sugee-! Doko de narattandandayo?” -Chise

No good place to stop ~___~ so I have to cut it.

As for Ryuse-san, I should ask about what he can eat first.

Shize-san… I guess there's no need to ask.

Silently chowing down the gateau chocolat and finished it within moments and holding out his plate. I then placed another slice of gateau chocolat on his plate. Chise-san beside him too was eating it vigorously. His tail swaying up and down and screaming "Deliiiiii!", then leering at the whole cake in front of him and tilted his head.

"Speaking of, why's there so many fruits like dis? If you have too many then gimme some to eat!"

Looks like Chise-san is more of a fruit lover than saying he loves sweets. I wonder if he likes fruits as much as meat.

"I am working on adding this to the menu. How is it?"

"Heeeh.. Delish! All of them!" I'm glad he likes them.

Then, the doorbell rang with a cling clang. Looking towards the door, there stood a small statured young man. That green hair, it's Sensan. He too came into the shop in his human form.

"Welcome" I greeted with a smile.

Sensan then saw the other two seating in the counter seat and tilted his head in wonder.

"They were in their human form just a while ago… Why did they transformed?"

"We showed the Tenchou how we did it"

"To the Tenchou? Hmmmmph.."

Sensan's deep green eyes then stared on me.

"It was my first time seeing a Demi transform. Do you like to order something? The two are eating cakes right now"

Sensan standing beside Shize-san and looked down on the cake.

"I'll have it later. Give me a pastrami sandwich and a latte"

"Alright, understood"

"Where's Ryuse?" Chise-san then replied to Sensan's question.

"Getting hit on"

"Ah, that so"

The 3 lined up seating on the counter seat.

I then went into the kitchen and prepared a cup of latte. And then went on to make the sandwich as usual, and brought it over to Sensan. Right at that time, the doorbell once again rang, informing an incoming customer.

"Whu? Why's that you all are in the counter?" The last one, Ryuse-san had come into the shop. His silky white hair and a well-organized face. His hands inside his jacket's pocket, knitting his eyebrows and puzzled.

"Eating cake. It's deli I tell you" (Chise) Answering in a smile was Chise-san.

"That's not answering my question. How bout food? Food I tell ya. Tenchou-san, I'll have the usual." (Ryuse)

Ryuse-san then went to sit on the same table as yesterday.

"Bacon steak and latte with less milk right. I will get to it right now"

"Ah, Tenchou. Me too" (Chise)

"Yes, understood. Would Shize-san like something as well?"

I tried asking Shize-san since Chise-san ordered something to eat as well. Ah, my first time calling him by his name… I wonder if it's alright? While feeling a little worried, the jet black lion looked up towards me and nodded in response.

I then reconfirm the orders just in case. The two are as the usual bacon steak (Chise and Ryuse), and second cups of orange juice for Chise-san and a black coffee for Shize-san.

Moving the cake on the counter to the side, I headed towards the kitchen, started preparing the beverages and brought them out to them, then starter to prepare the bacon steak.

…I should have cleaned up the utensils used to make the cake first.. There was enough s.p.a.ce to make some sandwiches but for another 3 portions of bacon steak, it's too cramped in here.

Slightly taking a peek outside the kitchen, I then took out the Aurora Ring. And so, while working on the bacon steak, I used magic to clean the works.p.a.ce.

By the way.. The Rotos are still under the bowl, I believe. The Roto inside my pocket is staying silent, and I guess it's alright for them to stay like this until the Demis leave.

I could hear the conversation between Chise-san and Ryuse-san from the shop interior.

"What's with the woman just now, Ryuse?"

"Ah? She found out I'm a demi. More like, why did you transform? You were in your human form till just now right?" (Ryuse)

"I showed it to Tenchou" (Chise)

"Haaah?" (Ryuse)

Gradually, the two started talking about work. It seems Shize-san is the leader and Sensan is in a position around the vice leader.

Finished with cleaning the utensils, I'm now plating the bacon steaks.

Ah, I'm missing a plate.

Taking out another plate from the cupboard with the Aurora ring, I could hear a huge uproar from the shop interior.

"UWooo!! She's using magic!"

I was shocked and started shaking. My ap.r.o.n pocket too started to shake, and the bowl too started to shake in response. Looking back in response, Chise-san was taking a peek at the kitchen from the counter's side and our eyes met.

"Cooooolll! Wherdyu learn dat?"

Putting up a smile, I brought out the bacon steak to the counter seats.

"….Thank you for waiting… The magic is from this ring, it works when I apply my willpower to activate it" As I try to make them believe it's not some kind of amazing magic.

Chise-san returned to his seat with shining eyes and stared towards my ring.

I did use healing magic on Shize-san before… but it seems he did not hear anything about it.

"Heeh, so it's a magic tool or sorts? Soometimes there are some bandits who can use magic though. Where did they even learn that" said Chise-san with a straight face. It seems like Chise-san has some grudge with bandits who can use magic.

"Since some can learn to use magic just by reading about it from books. Or perhaps when they use magic tools"

There is no school which teaches about magic in a countryside city by the country border like this. To add, there isn't any shops which were selling magic tools here, and there are only few who could use magic here.

….I have to be careful to not arouse their suspicion. I should take note to not use any powerful magic in front of people.
Nodding by myself, Ryuse-san then called out to me from the table seat.

"You think you can protect yourself with just that puny magic tool?"

Aa! I forgot to bring over the bacon steak to Ryuse-san! I then rushed to bring over the dish to him. Ryuse-san who had transformed into his beast form during who knows when was resting his chin on his hand and looked to me.

He looks somehow not in a good mood. His long tail hanging down from the sofa, slapping the floor.

"….This ring would not do anything without its owner willing it. It could only carry things without touching it or moving things, but I think it's not fit for self-defense"

"Hmpph. But last you said that you can defend yourself. Why's that?" (Ryuse)

Troubled on how to answer him, I went into thought. Since I can't say that I could just make do with magic.. Some moment after thinking about it, I could hear Sensan's voice from behind.

"Ryuse… Don't trouble her too much"

"I'm not troubling her!" (Ryuse)

"Never mind that, I would like to have some cake, Tenchou" (Sena)

I got out of it with Sensan's help.

Taking a light bow towards Ryuse-san, I went back to the counter and sliced a short cake for Sensan.

"Yep, delicious" he commented, which made me glad.

A while after, Chise-san and Shize-san who finished their bacon steak asked for a second helping of cakes. Since they had already tasted the fruit tart and gateau chocolat just now, I served them short cakes for a change.

"Would Ryuse-san like some too?"

I tried calling out to Ryuse-san whose tail was slapping from a distance, then his tail perfectly stopped moving at that moment.

He started thinking, "Hmmmmm—", and his long tail started swaying once again. My gaze was locked into his tail.
