The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 36, Part 30: Yu'er's Dinner, and a Little Trick for Perceiving Magic!
Inside the small restaurant.

Mumu sat at a dining table, looking at the food laid out in front of him: a long bread about the thickness of a forearm, a small dish of cured meat slices, and a bowl of vegetable soup.

The food was simple, but for Mumu, who lived in the impoverished village of Haji, it was definitely the most sumptuous meal she had ever had since she transmigrated to this world!
"Thank you."

Mogi looked at Rebecca standing across the table, his expression slightly awkward.

“This is a restaurant, a place to prepare food for guests, and you have to pay for it.”

Rebecca flicked a strand of reddish-brown hair from her forehead and looked at Mumu with great seriousness.

"Of course!"

Momoki nodded immediately.

Rebecca was relieved. Judging from Mumu's clothes, he didn't seem wealthy. If he couldn't pay, she would be at a huge loss, since there weren't many customers at the restaurant to begin with.

Without further ado, Miki lowered his head, picked up the long bread from the table, and began to eat.

The bread was a bit hard, but the salty and savory meat slices were just right, and the vegetable soup had a unique umami flavor, probably because of some kind of mushroom he didn't recognize.

It was a delicious meal, at least for Miki.

In less than two or three minutes, Mumu had devoured all the food on the table, and his rumbling stomach finally quieted down.

Mumu looked up again and found that Rebecca was staring at him without blinking.

"What's wrong?" Mimu asked, puzzled. She wiped her mouth, thinking there shouldn't be anything on her face.

How's the food?

Rebecca looked at Mu with expectant eyes, blinking her big eyes.

"very nice."

Mogi nodded, giving a very satisfied affirmation.

Rebecca's expression brightened, but it quickly faded with disappointment: "Then why are there so few people eating at the restaurant?"

"Perhaps it's because the restaurant is a bit old."

Momoki pointed to the restaurant's decor and spoke gently.

Whether you look at the exterior of this small restaurant from the outside or inside, the decor and furniture all exude a sense of antiquity, and no matter how clean the restaurant is, this sense of antiquity cannot be erased.

Such old-fashioned restaurants, aside from their regular customers, wouldn't normally attract any new diners. Especially in a place like the capital, they certainly wouldn't attract wealthy people.

Rebecca paused, her eyes growing even more somber.

Raising my younger siblings already costs too much money; where would I find the funds to renovate the restaurant?

How much does this meal cost?

Having learned about the other person's situation from the anime, Miki didn't continue the conversation on that topic but instead asked a question.

"30 Yu'er".

Rebecca spoke softly, and at the same time, she quickly began to clear the plates off the table.

Is it 30?

As Yu Mu took out 30 Yu'er from the money pouch in his bosom, he pondered.

Although the meal was rather lavish for him, it shouldn't have been expensive considering the condition of Rebecca's small restaurant.

This is just a meal.

300 Yu'er certainly wouldn't last long, and with the nobleman Miaser secretly watching him, surviving in the capital would be much more difficult than he had originally anticipated!

"By the way, do you provide accommodation here?"

Mogi placed the coins on the table and suddenly realized that he hadn't found a place to stand yet.

"It is provided, but..."

Rebecca paused in her movements, her tone slightly hesitant.

Momo was a little puzzled, and just as he was about to ask again.

"Whoa whoa-"

A sudden, urgent cry rang out.

Rebecca looked apologetic and then hurriedly left.

Seeing this, Yumu understood.

Just as Mumu was about to leave and find another place to stay, several red-haired children who had been hiding behind the restaurant counter suddenly appeared as Rebecca left.

These children are Rebecca's younger brother and sister.

It took Rebecca quite a while to coax her one-year-old brother back to sleep.

When she arrived at the restaurant, she saw that Yumu had not left. Moreover, her younger siblings, who should have been sleeping in their room, were all gathered around Yumu, listening intently to what she was saying.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, they bothered you."

Rebecca hurried over, looking apologetic at Yumu, and then sternly addressed her younger siblings: "What are you doing? Go back to sleep!"

"Sister, Snow White is so pitiful!" "And there are the seven dwarfs!"

"Let us listen a little longer."

"Please, sister."

One by one, childish voices rang out, their eyes fixed expectantly on Rebecca.

"No!" Rebecca declared righteously.

Since their older sister disagreed, the children quickly turned their attention to Xiangmu.

"The story is over quickly, let them listen for a while, otherwise they won't be able to sleep."

Momo smiled gently and spoke in a very mild manner.

Seeing that Mumu showed no sign of displeasure, and feeling the expectant gazes of her younger siblings, Rebecca could only nod helplessly in the end.

Yuki continued the story she had just told.

At first, Rebecca didn't pay much attention, after all, it was just a story for a few children. However, as she listened, Rebecca became somewhat engrossed.

As the story of Snow White came to an end, the child, who had achieved a perfect ending, immediately let out an excited shout.

Rebecca was brought back to her senses by the cheers, and a blush crept onto her cheeks when she realized she had been so engrossed in the music.

She subconsciously looked up at Yumu and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she realized that Yumu hadn't noticed her.

"Alright, go to sleep now."

Yumu spoke gently to the children in front of him.

then.

Under Rebecca's somewhat incredulous gaze, her younger siblings actually obeyed Yi Mu's words and returned to their rooms one by one.

You know, it usually takes her a lot of effort to get her younger siblings to sleep peacefully.

"they are?"

"I asked," Mu asked.

He knew these children were Rebecca's younger siblings, but he was curious about Rebecca's parents, who had never appeared in the animation.

“They are my younger brother and sister. My father and mother passed away one after another. They are my only family.”

Rebecca looked somewhat sad.

Miki: "Sorry."

"It's ok."

Rebecca shook her head, surprised, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing children."

“I grew up in a church, where many younger brothers and sisters were adopted, so I’m pretty good at dealing with kids.”

Momo chuckled softly as he spoke.

"Ah, sorry."

Rebecca was surprised to learn that Miki was an orphan.

Miki smiled: "It's alright."

Rebecca froze; this conversation felt strangely familiar.

"Um... I'll take you to the guest room."

Rebecca blushed slightly and quickly turned around to lead the way.

There was a "click".

Miki closed the door, looked around the guest room where she was staying, then closed her eyes and walked around the not-so-large room.

After a while.

Mogi reopened her eyes: "I didn't sense any fluctuations in magic power, so there shouldn't be any problem."

This is a little trick for applying the perception of the magic of nature.

The magic used by mages is different from natural magic. Wherever a mage's magic appears, it will inevitably cause a certain impact and fluctuation on the natural magic flowing in the air.

Miki can sense the flow of natural magic and use it to eliminate certain situations.

However, this technique is still quite useless because the range that Mumu can sense is too small, only about half a meter around her.

"We must find a way to resolve Miasel's matter as soon as possible."

Sitting on the bed, the gentle expression on his face had vanished, replaced by an icy coldness. He muttered to himself with a relaxed air.

Making money also needs to be put on the agenda.

He knew that a demon palace ruin would appear soon, containing not only a large amount of gold and silver treasures, but also the Demon Sword, one of the three demon swords he cared about most!
This matter needs to be carefully planned!
