Chapter 204 Daily Life at the Substitute Cafe
Sister (▼ヘ▼): You little bitch! You... dare to expose my secrets! If it weren't for my brother, I would have already turned into a pistol and pointed it at your head!
Li Muyang sighed helplessly and said bluntly, "Ladies, are you very free? I'm very busy! Please find somewhere else to do this!"
Then he handed the blonde woman a plate of spicy strips he had just made himself: "Calm down, here, freshly made, try it. Oh, by the way, it's 1000 yuan per plate."
The first part of the conversation made the blonde woman smile slightly; it seems her charm is still irresistible! But the last sentence made her expression change drastically. She almost put down the spicy snack she had just picked up, her lips twitching uncontrollably as she questioned, "...Is this spicy snack made of some rare ingredient?! The packaged ones in stores only cost around 500! You're doubling the price?"
Li Muyang glanced at his savings: "Is it expensive? I don't think it's expensive."
"Oh, he's a big spender~" The blonde woman smiled seductively and licked her red lips, wanting it even more... and then her mouth was filled with spicy strips... Don't get me wrong, well, she suddenly realized that these spicy strips were actually quite delicious!
Besides, they've already definitely paid, so they might as well enjoy the food. If they don't pay, their performance bonuses will be docked. They just don't know if the guy will accept payment in kind.
Li Muyang (￢_￢): Heh... I don't support it! Thanks!
Just then, two more young ladies came over and ordered a serving of spicy strips. As long as the customers pay, we'll definitely sell them!
Even though he was only temporarily acting as an agent, Li Muyang believed he still needed to be dedicated enough! He couldn't tarnish the reputation of Nanako and Mimiko.
Does this coffee shop really still sell spicy snacks? Do they have a food safety license? Never mind, that's not important!
Well, to be precise, the silver-haired girl came over and ordered two servings, while a haughty girl in apricot-colored hair turned her head away with a disdainful look; she wouldn't eat this kind of commoner's food...
I don't know why, but it smells so good!
Seeing the silver-haired girl enjoying her meal, the girl hesitated for a moment before tentatively taking a bite. One bite, and oil splattered everywhere, the spiciness stimulating her taste buds, leaving her with an unforgettable aftertaste! She was about to be completely ruined!
"Ugh...so slow~" x2
Watching the two sisters, one with silver hair and the other with apricot-yellow hair, completely absorbed in their own world, Li Muyang felt there were too many elements involved...
Wow, the whole store is full of familiar faces!
Seriously, ordinary people are just ordinary people. Look at those two angels, they're perfectly fine. They didn't add much stuff themselves!
Blonde Sister and Gothic Sister, Pandy and Stooge – not many people might recognize these names, but if you replace them with the nickname "Panty & Stocking Angels," most people would probably recognize them, right?
No wonder Li Muyang was so unmoved by the blonde woman's allure. He didn't need Shi Duojin's introduction; Old Li knew exactly what kind of seasoned pro she was. Even without any phobias, Li Muyang would keep his distance from such a top-tier player, afraid of being taken advantage of and having his feelings manipulated.
As for the last two, if nothing unexpected happens, they should be the Nakiri sisters from Totsuki Academy, Erina and Alice.
Not to mention the Grim Reaper shop upstairs; Uncle Mori is currently there drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
Yes, the big case mentioned above was actually orchestrated by Li Muyang last night.
Li Muyang had already seen several "familiar faces" today, and for a moment he couldn't help but sigh that Nanako and Mimiko's daily life running the shop was truly colorful!
Another new customer steps into the coffee shop.
"Huh? Where are Nanako and Mimiko? Li? Why are you the one running the shop?" Kobayashi, whom Li Muyang had bumped into in Shibuya earlier, came over with her two dragon girls and asked with some confusion.
Li Muyang said expressionlessly, "Something happened to them, so I'll be filling in for them for a few days."
Kobayashi frowned. She knew that Nanako and Mimiko seemed to have been harassed recently, but the two sisters were not ordinary people. She originally thought that it should not be a big problem, but now it seems that something has happened.
Tohru and Kanna also sensed something was wrong; Nanako and Mimiko don't usually skip work so casually!
As soon as Li Muyang said this, Pandi, Shi Duojin, and the Nakiri sisters all came over: "What happened to them? Are they alright? Do they need any help?"
Even Uncle Mori's attention was drawn to this.
It's clear that Nanako and Mimiko are generally quite popular.
"It's nothing, it's just... last night they were almost tied up and thrown into Tokyo Bay." Li Muyang explained calmly, still expressionless. "But it's alright now, I've rescued them and settled them in another place."
Everyone Σ(?д?|||)??: Huh?! This is considered nothing?! Then what would be considered something?!
Only Uncle Mori seemed to sense something, pointing to the case in the newspaper: "Mr. Li, is what you're talking about related to this?"
Li Muyang looked completely innocent and said righteously, "Hey! Uncle! Don't talk nonsense! How could I, a law-abiding citizen, be involved in such a big case? I just rescued Nanako and Mimiko from being kidnapped. Those people have nothing to do with me~ You can't just say things without evidence~"
Everyone (￣w￣；): Yes, yes, whatever you say!
Apart from a few individuals, who among the people present didn't know that Li Muyang was no ordinary person?
Well, even two ordinary cooks could sense that Li Muyang was no ordinary person; it was just a premonition.
Chefs in this world, once they reach a certain level, can create some unscientific dishes. Naturally, they have mastered some unconventional techniques. Otherwise, the Far Moon Group wouldn't be able to get a share of the pie in Japan.
However, even the top chefs only have a slight effect similar to hypnosis or hallucination, and they basically work through cooking. The chef himself is still a weakness, and compared to the chefs in Li Muyang's world, there is still a huge gap in ability.
Otherwise, Li Muyang, an amateur chef, would not have been able to gain God Tongue's approval so easily.
But at least the cooks know about the world of sorcery! They know there's a group of people with superpowers!
Most of you here have probably met Li Muyang before. He spent some time at the coffee shop, and you could tell back then that Nanako and Mimiko respected Li Muyang, who was their age. So it's normal that you would easily believe what he says now!
The group of people had gotten to know Nanako and Mimiko. Although Li Muyang denied that he was responsible for what happened in Tokyo Bay last night, it was clear to everyone that Li was just trying to avoid unnecessary trouble and prevent others from smearing him.
At the very least, there's no way to deal with him through official channels.
Therefore, upon learning of the incident involving the Kaba sisters, he quickly took his leave and prepared to go back and investigate.
Even Uncle Mori left; well, he felt it was still necessary to find out more.
The two cook sisters, however, did not leave.
"Huh? Aren't you two leaving?" Li Muyang blinked.
Alice rolled her eyes: "Is this guy trying to kick us out? Why aren't we welcome?"
Erina tugged at Alice, glared at her, and said, "Don't you even know who this is? Are you going to throw a tantrum at her? Aren't you afraid of getting angry? She's clearly in a bad mood!"
To be honest, Erina wouldn't normally be so respectful to others, but she's never had any problems with manners. After all, the Nakiri family is very strict, so Erina understands the importance of respect, especially when facing strong people, even more than Alice!
This guy in front of me is a tough guy who just crippled a ship full of more than a dozen people! Although he didn't kill anyone, those people's lives will probably be worse than death! They'll suffer a fate worse than being dead! And the forces behind them will probably either ignore them or have them captured and disposed of at will! In the end, they'll still die!
"I wouldn't take my anger out on innocent people." Li Muyang saw Erina's nervous attitude and teased her leisurely. Before the girl could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued, "The premise is that your Nakiri family really has nothing to do with this matter."
The young lady was trembling.
Ahem, don't misunderstand, it's just that Li Muyang's tone was a bit sinister, which scared me.
Another reason is that Li Muyang's aura is somewhat dangerous now. When Miss God Tongue looks at Old Li, she always recalls that forbidden figure in her mind.
Yes, it's Azami Nakiri, the biological father who gave the young lady childhood trauma.
I feel like this is somewhat insulting to Li Muyang. How can he be similar to someone like G's father?
Moreover... to be honest, Erina wasn't quite sure whether her family or Totsuki had anything to do with this. The reason they were still here today was because their grandfather, Senzaemon Nakiri, the actual ruler of Totsuki, was coming to visit Li Muyang.
For no apparent reason, Li Muyang came back to Japan last night to save someone, and this commander-in-chief came looking for him first thing this morning. He was practically the first person to visit. He's a big shot in Japan, so who would believe that nothing happened?
Erina, anyway, doesn't believe it!
So she was really anxious!
Just as the young lady was trembling with fear and Alice was still carefree eating spicy snacks, the store door was pushed open and an old man who looked extremely imposing walked in.
"Grandpa!" x2
Upon seeing the old man, Erina seemed to have been saved, while Alice calmly greeted him.
The old man smiled and nodded, patted Erina who was hiding behind him in a bit of panic, and then turned to look at Li Muyang: "Excuse me, Mr. Li, it's an honor to meet you!"
"A guest is a guest, but it is indeed an honored guest who has come to our door," Li Muyang said casually and politely.
As soon as the old man appeared, the customers in the store were frightened away by the men in black who accompanied him. They were not deliberately driven away, but the sensible ones all left.
Li Muyang estimated that all of these expressionless, imposing men in black, even if all of them were put together, might not be as strong as this old man.
Judging from his aura, this Nakiri commander is a trained fighter! At least a martial arts master!
It's roughly equivalent to the ultimate realm of Feng Ling Yu Xiu!
Even if they aren't the most elite combatants in this world, they're probably not at the level of ordinary people either!
