Chapter 25. Rainy day.

Chapter 25. Rainy day.

After Kaji returned with a person unknown to me, they shared with me a little information about the empty world. Although it didn't give me much sense. But for the book, such a story clearly pleased me, and after our showdown with Nila, the book suddenly opened up and began to talk about the abilities of the Matsu card.

(New information received.

The cardholder is Matsu Kaato.

Card Type - Star

Ability - False Flash

"Creating false light flashes within a radius of one kilometer")

After reading this inscription, Matsu seemed surprised. And it really turned out that way. Looking first in one direction and then in the other, he said:

— I don't have any maps, it's some kind of mistake. I only have an ability from this world, and I don't have anything else.

After these words, the book suddenly moved and a card abruptly flew out of it, which gave such a return that Matsu flew to the wall

"Ah, it hurts," he said when he started to get up.

The girls immediately ran to call for help from doctors, but I decided to clean up so that no one would notice our maps, and even more so the book. I hid the book in the bedside table, which stood next to the bed, and hid the cards in my pockets. The cards were not assigned to me, since the cardholders were not far from me and I had no desire to take these cards.

And so, the doctors came and took Matsu with them, saying that he had a serious wound in the abdominal area. Wow, what a force was the blow from the book. I hope nothing terrible will happen to this kid.

After everyone left the room and only Kaji and I were left, he told me a little story that happened during the festival.

Kaji was dragging the equipment to the classroom of our class, when suddenly a boy from class A decided to help him, and after that that boy disappeared from sight. And later, when they met in the empty world, he told him that he wanted to make me above all and that I would defeat Ari.

- Yes ... he has high hopes on my shoulders, but I will try to defeat Ari again, but to do this, first get out of this world and fortunately there is a method to get out of here faster. To do this, I need to get all kinds of cards. We have collected only two of the necessary four species, there are only two "Moon" and "Green Dragon" left. And to get the ability from the card, you need to kill, and I really don't want to do that. It was enough for me to realize that I had killed a representative from the scarlet team.

—I understand how you feel Akishito, but don't worry, I'll help you with that. I'm no stranger to getting involved in all sorts of messes, so I'm not sorry to help you. And Matsu, as soon as I get better, I think he will immediately run to help you. And besides, you still have a bunch of beautiful girls who are ready to help you in any way they can, but by the way one of them is coming.

After his words, Nila came into the room.

- Akishito, we are called urgently to work on the night shift. Katayashi can't cope alone, so she asked us for help.

We quickly packed up and, taking an umbrella in case of rain, went outside. And it's not for nothing that we took this umbrella. After a few minutes of walking, a downpour began and opening the umbrella, Nila and I walked very close to each other.

- Hey, don't squeeze me. Nila was saying, looking at me with a puppy dog look.

After that, I felt a little uneasy, but still I ignored the words about it. She didn't remind me of it again.

Approaching the diner, we saw a whole crowd of people standing in the rain and waiting for their time to eat. All the other eateries were already closed, or simply closed for the weekend, so as not to tempt fate with angry people.

We ran in from the back entrance, changed clothes as soon as possible, even in the same place with Nila, which I didn't notice at first, and then how I noticed… In general, I noticed that I shouldn't have. I won't tell her about it…

We flew into the kitchen and what was our surprise that the kitchen was completely empty of people. And after a few seconds Katayashi flew in and started cooking something quickly.

- Wait, Katayashi, explain what's going on here and where are the cooks?

Katayashi panting from fatigue replied:

— All the cooks couldn't come today because of the downpour, so now I have to work alone, so please help me.

She bowed to us with such a request.

We quickly put on aprons and quickly began to prepare the orders stuck to the wall.

There were a huge number of them, about forty pieces. Fortunately, these orders were not very complicated, the usual salads and similar light food. A couple of hours later, forty orders were sent to the tables, but the queue did not decrease, but only on the contrary, the queue increased and indignant customers began to appear. One of the customers even threw a knife at the counter with an order. I went out to him and slapped him with a bream, gave him the knife and he left. They'll still throw knives here.

After my cherished bream, all the people immediately cheered up and the queue calmed down at the same moment.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Katayashi and Nila were cooking at great speed. Fortunately, they did it very well. All the clients were satisfied with the work from them. When they took out the food, the men seemed to feel calmer, but when I took out the food, their gaze was very stern. Apparently, they lacked female attention.

And now our shift was nearing the end. All customers were fully served and satisfied with the food.

Fortunately, there were no serious accidents today. We were handed a salary and we headed home.

It didn't stop raining outside. We straightened the umbrella again and Nila herself began to cling to me.

- Hey, Akishito, did you see anything when we came to work today?

- N-no. Should I have seen something? I stuttered, because I thought I'd seen her when she was changing.

- Yes, I just noticed that a large number of things were standing at the threshold. Don't you think they'll move soon?

I breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't what I thought.

— No, I think it was the clothes of the employees of the diner, I think many of them decided to quit, and Katayashi told us the wrong thing about the fact that they did not come because of the rain.

- Anything is possible… Hey, look, isn't that Kara coming?

Looking in the direction where Nila was pointing, I really saw Kara, who was walking without an umbrella all alone.

- Kara! I shouted, after which I quickened my pace, so that Nila could not keep up with me.

- You wait… I can't keep up with you, Nila screamed at me.

Finally we reached the Karoo. Her hair was completely soaked, and her condition itself looked deplorable.

- A-Akishito! Finally! Finally, you've been found. – she said, rushing to hug me.

- Wait, what are you doing? Did you come into this world to see me?

- Yes, you disappeared from school, so I decided to follow you, and so, when you were in the library of a certain Ari, I sneaked somewhere and moved into this strange world where I can't find a place for myself. But now, I think I'll be fine, because you're next to Akishito.

I was amazed by her behavior, but then I realized that she had been wandering the streets for several days and probably hadn't eaten much.

And now the three of us were already walking to the hotel, continuing to huddle together under a very long rain.
