Abnormal Moon

Roy looked around; blood was everywhere, and the stench of the curse was so strong it almost blocked his nose.

"Let's go outside first and find a suitable place to explain in detail."

Chapter 299 Lycoris's Coffee Shop (43)

"Are these cursed spirits all modified by humans?"

In the church hall, after learning this conclusion from Roy, the expressions of Tohno Shiki and the other two changed drastically.

After seeing Roy turn around and approach the Nakano sisters, Kohaku quickly called out from behind.

"Please remember to return to the mansion as soon as possible, as another cursed spirit disaster may occur at any time!"

"I know!"

Roy waved without turning his head and left with Nino and Satsuki.

In the church.

"If humans were truly modified into this... then wouldn't that mean..."

Yumizuka Satsuki's gaze fell on the corpses of cursed spirits scattered on the ground, and her face turned pale.

"These dead were all humans...?"

Are they killing humans, not cursed spirits?

But that guy named Roy, even though he knew he had killed so many humans, didn't show the slightest hint of unease on his face. Instead, he acted as if nothing had happened.

Normally, after realizing they've accidentally killed a human, they'd at least feel some guilt, or at the very least, some sense of being deceived, right? That person didn't feel any of that at all.

Is it her who's abnormal, or is it that Roy who's abnormal?

"Strange, why hasn't the teacher arrived yet?"

In a corner of the church, a student was muttering to himself in a panic.

Such a big thing happened in the classroom, but the teacher still hasn't arrived. He's a magician, after all; he couldn't possibly be unaware of the appearance of a cursed spirit. Besides, he was already teaching in the morning, and he shouldn't have been able to go anywhere during such a short lunch break.

Could it be that they ran away?

Some students whispered their guesses.

Tono Shiki was in a very unsettled state of mind.

He heard the students discussing their teacher, but he didn't think so.

Varian had met him many times. He valued rules and looked down on transient students, but he was very dedicated to teaching his regular students. If anyone had a magic-related question, he would do his best to answer it.

Although it fits the stereotype of a magician, he is generally responsible. If a cursed spirit appears, he will rush to exorcise it as soon as possible, even if it is for a reward. The cursed spirit that appeared today was not very strong and should not be beyond the teacher's ability to deal with. It is probably stuck somewhere and unable to come over.

Suddenly, he recalled the words spoken by the kappa spirit, or rather, the cyborg, after it rushed in.

He quickly got up, staggering and almost falling to the ground, but he ignored it and staggered over to the kappa cursed spirit's shattered corpse.

He remembered that his teacher, Varian, had a mole on his face.

"Tono-kun?"

"Young Master Zhigui?"

Ignoring the questioning calls from the two people behind him, Tono Shiki searched through the kappa cursed spirit's body parts.

A moment later, his body stiffened.

Among the fragments of the body, he found the head piece.

There is a mole on the left side of my cheek.

Tono Shiki's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and his stomach churned violently.

"Ugh... ugh!"

…………

Roy left the church with Nino and May, and the smell of the curse immediately faded.

The giant slug-like cursed spirit, or rather, the cyborg, not far away had already died, and a group of ordinary people surrounded it, pointing and whispering.

Roy ignored them and led the two women around the area, where they luckily found a coffee shop.

"It's rare to find coffee shops in this city!"

This is a great place for conversation.

With this in mind, Roy led the two women into the coffee shop.

The simple wooden signboard bears the crookedly written words "Lycoris Coffee Shop," which must have been painted by the signboard itself.

Nino and Itsuki followed quietly behind him.

Since meeting Roy and learning about Ichika and Miku's whereabouts, the depression and dejection on the two girls' faces have vanished, and their expressions have visibly brightened.

"welcome!"

As soon as I stepped into the coffee shop, a cheerful voice rang out.

A girl with beautiful short blonde hair came up to us, a smug smile on her face, her eyes full of innocent charm, making her instantly likable.

"Takina, I told you we'd definitely have customers! And three customers came in right away, I won! From now on, I'll keep running this coffee shop!"

The blonde girl gestured for Roy and his two companions to enter while shouting triumphantly towards the kitchen.

No.

Is this how you entertain customers?

Roy walked into the store with a question mark in his head and found a seat that was old but very clean.

"Tch, what incredible luck..."

Just then, a figure emerged from the kitchen amidst low-pitched curses.

The man froze the moment he stepped out of the kitchen and met Roy's gaze.

"Lord Roy?"

"Inoue?"

Roy never expected to run into the guard captain he had met in the wild before, the black-haired girl named Inoue.

She had taken off her battlefield uniform and must have washed up, as the dust on her face was gone, revealing a delicate oval face. She looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, which would be the age of a high school student in the ordinary world. Although she was wearing casual clothes, there was still a faint sense of tension in her body, as if she was ready to fight at any moment.

Wait.

Her surname is Inoue.

The blonde girl just called her by the name Takina.

That is to say-

"Your full name is Inoue Takina?"

"Yes."

Inoue Takina walked over and bowed respectfully to Roy.

Roy's expression was slightly strange.

It turned out to be the case.

I never expected her to be Inoue Takina.

And that blond guy next to him, isn't he—

"Her name is Nishiki Chizuka."

Seeing Roy's gaze shift to his companion, Inoue Takina took the initiative to introduce them.

"This coffee shop is owned by us."

Roy looked at the blonde girl.

Chizuka Nishiki flashed a bright smile and gave Roy a peace sign.

Inoue Takina and Nishiki Chishu.

Speaking of which, he seemed to have seen the coffee shop's name was Lycoris when he entered.

It turned out to be the case.

I never expected that the two of them would come into this world too.

No, I should say they were brought into this world.

"Is there a menu?"

Roy didn't press further; things were more important now, especially Nino and May.

"I'm very sorry, but because the shop is newly opened, we only have one type of coffee and one type of dessert."

Inoue Takina sighed helplessly, then glared fiercely at Nishiki Chizuka beside her.

In fact, she didn't even want to open a coffee shop.
