"That's it, I brought them back."
With this as an opening, Tokiwa Shougo stepped aside, revealing Haruto Soma and Koyomi who followed him in from behind the door.
"I'm fucking Haruto."
"I am Li."
"Hello, I work here from 9 to 5, and I am the store manager Junichiro Tokiwa."
Junichiro Tokiwa smiled and nodded, then hurriedly came out from behind the counter, pulled Shogo Tokiwa aside, pressed his head and asked: "That's it? That's it...? What on earth is going on?"
Tokiwa Shougo laughed dryly and replied rather awkwardly: "That's right. When I was at school today, I accidentally heard a very powerful wandering magician coming nearby."
"Well, what then?"
"Then I went to watch it, and it turned out that it was really great. I made a lot of money in one performance, and even I gave away all my pocket money."
"...Then what does this have to do with you bringing them back?" Junichiro Tokiwa asked doubtfully.
Tokiwa Shogo suddenly looked at his uncle with a very surprised face: "I have told you this, uncle, don't you understand?"
"Ah...?" Junichiro Tokiwa was confused.
"Hey~~~" Tokiwa Shougo sighed and looked helplessly at his uncle, "Uncle..."
"Yes." Junichiro Tokiwa nodded seriously.
Then I heard Tokiwa Shougo say: "Whose money is not blown by the strong wind, right? Although he is a wanderer, he is a magician, and he has a super cute girl by his side. He is clean and tidy, no matter how you look at it, he is a magician. It doesn’t look like they’re sleeping on the street, so the question is, in that case, where will they usually live if they can make money at any time through magic performances?”
"Uh, it should be...a hotel, right...?"
"Bingo! That's right! I've already verified this with them."
Tokiwa Shougo was about to show a helpless expression like "Uncle, you finally guessed it right." Then when he thought of what he was going to say next, his expression immediately changed into "Uncle, you are so amazing, you can guess all this." A flattering smile.
"Just in time, don't we still have a vacant room to rent? So, I used the additional benefits of being able to order food, plus a slightly cheaper price to snatch them from that hotel!"
With that said, Tokiwa Shougo patted his bulging pockets and raised his eyebrows at Tokiwa Junichiro and smiled.
"The store has become more lively, and uncle, you don't have to give me pocket money these days. How about it? Isn't it great?"
"Oh! That's it~"
Junichiro Tokiwa nodded and finished speaking, and then immediately patted Shogo Tokiwa's head angrily.
"After all, you just want to get your pocket money back and put their accommodation fees into your own pocket at the same time, right?"
Tokiwa Shougo smiled "hehe" and said nothing, but looked at Junichiro Tokiwa with a "pleasant" look on his face, which made Junichiro Tokiwa couldn't help but reach out and tap his forehead with his finger again.
"You……"
After saying that, he turned around and Junichiro Tokiwa smiled and faced Soma Haruto and Ali.
"I already understand the specific situation. So, how about I take you to see the room you are going to stay in next?"
"Excuse me."
"No trouble, no trouble."
While leading Soma Haruto and Ali up the stairs, Junichiro Tokiwa asked because of the welfare benefits proposed by Tokiwa Shogo: "What do Haruto and Ali want to eat for dinner?"
"There's something I want to eat..." Kao Maharuto thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Can donuts be okay?"
"Donuts, of course...eh? Donuts!?"
Junichiro Tokiwa, who is quite satisfied with his cooking skills, is not that he doesn't know how to make donuts, but he is just a little surprised...well, he is very surprised!
Wouldn’t it be weird to have donuts on the dinner table at home?
And from the tone of Soma Haruto's tone, it seems that he thinks it's okay even if donuts are the main dish for dinner.
Did he hear it wrong?
However, the next answer he received directly shattered his idea.
"Well, donuts, if that's okay, I'd like the sugar ones."
"Ah...well, I understand." Junichiro Tokiwa nodded slowly and hesitantly, and then continued to ask, "Where is Xiaoli? What do you want to eat for dinner?"
"I'll be fine with Haruto's."
Looking at Ali's cute and serious face that showed no trace of reluctance, his eyes swept over the rings of the same style worn on the middle fingers of their right hands, Junichiro Tokiwa nodded clearly, and laughed with understanding and peace of mind.
"I see."
then……
In the dinner restaurant, I looked at the extra young man in a colorful shirt and the cute girl in a black gothic skirt in front of the table, as well as the two extra plates on the table...donuts! ?
Tsukuyomi: "..."
Gates: "..."
To be honest, both Tsukuyomi and Gates were quite speechless at this time. In addition to being speechless, they were also curious.
For example, why did Tokiwa Shogo bring these two people back?
Junichiro Tokiwa treats Shogo Tokiwa as a child, or a son, so he has no doubts about the simple reason of "helping to recruit tenants for pocket money."
But for them who know the future of Tokiwa Shogo, such a simple reason really makes them have to think more. After all, no matter how good the current Tokiwa Shogo is in their eyes, he is still "that King of Time" after all!
Can a simple-minded person become a king? Are you kidding, how is that possible? Impossible, impossible!
Therefore, their eyes occasionally looked at Tokiwa Shogo with a hint of exploration.
Therefore, before eating, Tokiwa Shougo coughed slightly, stood up, and asked Soma Haruto to show his skills for everyone.
His eyes were sincere, and he said with his eyes, "Please, how about another 10% reduction in rent?"
So, Kao Maharuto, who didn't really care about such things, stood up and said that he had no problem.
"Sa, it's show time."
With this as his opening words, Kao Zhenqingren first rolled up his sleeves and turned his palms to show them that there was nothing in his hands. Then he suddenly grabbed one hand into the air. When he opened his palm again, there was already an extra one in his palm. White ball.
Then he twisted the ball with his other hand, shook it in the air, and then slowly released the two fingers that were twisting the ball.
A magical scene happened.
The small white ball actually floated directly in the air!
Then, the ball began to rotate as the ball was swung with his right hand, and it began to swim above the palm of his hand as he moved his left hand.
Finally, he suddenly pulled away his left hand and slapped the ball hard with his right hand.
Snapped!
When he opened his palm again with a smile, the small white ball had disappeared.
Bang bang bang——
After a brief silence, applause of praise broke out from around the dining table.
Tokiwa Shougo smiled with his eyes narrowed, and in his mind, he couldn't help but think of the question Woz suddenly appeared next to him when he was watching Haruto Soma's performance in the shopping street, and asked him the question.
——My Majesty the Demon King, are you interested in magic?
