The one who pointed a gun at me was the mercenaries who came by previously, the ones who were prohibited from coming in my shop.
āHold ya horses, donāt you try to use magic. Iāll fire.ā Putting his finger on the trigger, one of the mercenaries sneered.
āDonāt you dare open your mouth, raise your hands.ā
It seems they are wary of my movements.
āDonāt you try doinā something weird. Iāll fire, I tell ya.ā
āā¦ā
If I made any movements of casting any magic, they will fire the gun. And so, I obediently raised my hands.
āKekeke, youāre too conceited for a young lady.ā
āJust because you can use some magic, donāt think you can oppose us.ā
ā¦. Truth be told, not just āsomeā magic thoughā¦
A barrier magic is erected around the shop, and the people who I have prohibited to enter could not come in no matter what they do.
āDestroy the window glass! Enter through there!ā The mercenary pointing his gun at me shouted.
*shatter*, as the window glass shattered, the pieces scattered around the shop. Surprised, my body reacted but I held back my scream.
āOi, but I canāt enter?!ā Since you are prohibited from entry, of course you could not enter even through the window.
āGive her a punch or two.ā
āThatās right! Then we can somehow enter.ā
I stiffened after hearing them say so. Even if you do that, you still canāt enter thoughā¦
Not only did they shatter my dear shopās window glass, but to also point a gun at me. Unforgivable.
But moving now would not be the best of plans. I have to find an opening.
āHow ābout that, lady? If I shoot you, can we enter then?ā asked the mercenary with the gun.
I slowly shook my head to the sides.
āDamn, that magic of yours? Then dispel it now! Else, Iāll shoot!!ā
Pointing the gun towards my feet, he removed the safety switch. It seems he would shoot my feet if I do not answer.
I think about my next action. Should I dispel the barrier momentarily to let them in and find a counter chance? Or should I take a risk and take a chance right now?
*gulp*, I swallowed my breath.
The mercenary who pointed the gun at me seemed to want to say something out of impatienceā¦
Thenā
A frightening roar reverberated through the ground.
The mercenaries reflexively whirled around.
āYou lot!!ā Screamed Ryuse-san.
āYou dare treat her roughly!?ā I could hear Chise-san.
āEeeeek!ā
The mercenaries who saw the figures of the DemiMercSquad all went pale. Gradually a scream came out from the person who held the gun, and he fired his gun.
*BANG!*
I stiffened from the sound of the gun shot. No matter how robust the Demis are, if they are hit, they would not go unscathed.
āE-everyone!ā I shouted in a fluster.
But then, the jet black lion who appeared before my eyes easily threw down the mercenary with the gun. The gun, which rolled down to the ground, was turned into dust in a moment from Shize-sanās grip.
āShize-san!ā
I took his mofumofu hand to make sure there were no injuries. It seems Shize-san was not injured. Then, what about the others?
Looking to Sena-san, Ryuse-san and Shize-san, the three were glaring at the three mercenaries. The match was over in an instant, and the four bad mercenaries were on the ground.
The mercenaries who were shivering was somehow able to stand up, and ran away with their wobbly feet.
āDonāt you dare come to this town again!!ā
āIāll kill you the next time!!ā Roared Ryuse-san and Chise-san.
āA-are you guys hurt? Did you guys get shot anywhere?!ā As I worriedly ask, Ryuse-san and the others were dumbfounded. Then the three burst out into laughter together.
While Ryuse-san and Chise-san was holding their stomach and laughed out, Sena-san came to ask me.
āNo oneās hurt. Likewise, are you hurt anywhere?ā
āI am not unscathed.. Thank godā¦ā I patted myself from relief.
āNothingās thankful for!ā Chise-san shouted. His tail was wagging around intensely, and pointed to the shattered window glass.
āHow dare they destroy Ojouās shop! Aaaa, I forgot to ask for reimbursement!!ā shouted Ryuse-san while his fur stood up and his tail stretched straight. He then glared on the direction the mercenaries ran away to.
āAh, please do not worry. I can repair it with magic.ā
Returning back to the shop, I equipped the Aurora ring. *clap*, and I focused on the flow of magic and spread my arms. Instantly, the scattered pieces of glass gently floated up and went back to the window. In a swift moment, the window is back to normal.
Coming back to my senses and look to my back, my eyes met with Shize-san who was right beside me.
āā¦ā¦ā
With his amber eyes, he observed every crook and cranny, and patted me on the head. Then he went to sit on his usual seat..
āHeee.. It went back to normal.ā
āCoooolāā
āAs expected of Ojou!ā
Sena-san, Chise-san and Ryuse-san were looking admiringly at the windows while moving to their seats.
Ryuse-san on the counter table, while Chise-san sat opposite of Shize-san. And unexpectedly, Sena-san moved towards the counter and sat on the chair beside Ryuse-san.
āOjou, are you okay now-?ā
āI am fine now, thank you. I apologize to have made you worry for me.ā Standing beside the counter, I bowed in the Demisā direction.
Ryuse-san opened his arms wide and tried to embrace me, but I swiftly dodged to the side.
āIām hungry already, please let me eat now! If itās not made by Tenchou, I donāt have the appetite!ā Chise-san urged me joyfully.
Fufu, to think that he desires my cooking. It tickles me a bit.
Ryuse-san and Sena-san made a small jab of words towards Chise-san.
āDonāt rush Ojou,ā Ryuse-san warned him. It seems he is being considerate of me.
āPlease wait a little. I will get to it right away.ā
I then went to prepare the dishes everyone ordered, and quickly brought them to their tables.
āYou look like usual now, Tenchou.ā Chise-san while chewing his piece of steak made a very satisfied grin towards me.
āOjou, here, sit hereā
āEh?ā
While stuffing his cheeks full of steak, Ryuse-san patted the chair on his right with his tail. On the right of that seat is where Sena-san is sitting on. It seems he is asking for me to sit in between them.
āDonāt be too rigid around us, read a book or something.ā
Sena-san said so while holding a sandwich in his hand.
Hesitant, my waist was suddenly wrapped in Ryuse-sanās tail and urged to sit on the seat. I was then made to sit between the two of them.
āOjou too, letās lay back together.ā
While cheerfully swaying around his tail, Ryuse-san continued indulging in his meal.
Looks like Shize-san and Chise-san who are on the table seats have nothing to complain about.
As my mouth start to soften up due to their kind consideration, I then went up to the second floor and brought down the novel I had borrowed from Sena-san.
Then I sat down on the counter seat once again, where Ryuse-sanās tail gently lay down on my lap. *Floof*. Begging to be spoiled, the tail wiggled around. Ryuse-sanās main point seems to be wanting to frolic.
No matter how much I would love to touch the white mofumofu, it feels off to do so while he is eating.
While being mindful of the tail in my lap, I started to flip the pages of the book. Then, a big fluffy tail from the opposite side got on top of my lap as well. It was Sena-sanās tail.
ā¦ā¦Mofumofu from both sidesā¦
My, how am I able to read a book in peace with these mofumofus!
Lifting up my face, Ryuse-san and Sena-san was making a big grin.
On the table seat were Chise-san who was enjoying his meal wholeheartedly and Shize-san who was silently bringing the piece of meat to his mouth.
