The Complain department

The (maid cat-girl?) opened that spells book and without any other additional device like a smartphone, she scan the QR code on first page. [Quick Response two dimensional bar code] After few seconds of downloading, she made her move.

.

She make few steps from them and toward the center of the hall, so she will have a necessary space to work. Almost as if she were a pro cards player, she tore five tickets from the booklet, and hold them on the hand spread like a provisional fan, or a play cards ready to be draw. Holding that grimoire in her other hand, she opened that book on page describing how to summon affiliated demons.

In 'Eye Candy pose', she skipped the recitation phase of magic enchantment, by making cute heaven jingle sound. It merely look like her stats was temporally boosted by the power of the five tokens she take on her hand. All oh her (hairs?) stood up as if there was a mystical wind who push it up.

Anyone who payed attention to them can saw: That the next moment, right in the center of that maid cafe restaurant: was a shiny pentagram like magic circle and it was overflowing with magical powers. Gust of wind blew around the circle like tornado and sinister background music track was playing for the mood. It catches the attention of other customers and staff, but the summoned demon was already rising up in double amount.

.

Those two was no strangers for Fizzi and Savii. No those were they friend who truly can be called the witness to spoke up testimony of Furtrap actions.

One was Newdori - Charismatic demonic priest, who like to yell at people as he spread his wisdom of realization and understanding. He was wearing a red suit and orange fashion glasses, which had been trademark from times of grand vampire Alucard.

The Other was Roxxan - Demonic girl with French accent and a (twin sister?) of Vronica - former queen of (lost/ forgotten?) kingdom of Neko folks. She's like to finding fresh blood for *???*

.

Both of them has must to be fans of the same movie, because as they raised up on the scene, they make the same famous movie reference, making that pose and recite the same line, in dramatic entry:

*"For thousands of years I lay down dormant. Who dare?!, to disrupt my slumber?!"*

.

But the mood of both of them was instantly gone when Savii greets them with warm smile. "Greetings, my fellow friends. You have been invited to a wonderful quest including dinner for free."

Contrary to her, the duo had a completely dummy expression as they failed to process what going on, and only stared at her. ('He??') They only become alive again when they exchange a glance, and receive a shock: that they were standing in the same summoning circle.

First one to react was of course the priest as he turns to the maid. "Okay. Savii, what the hell going on here?! I have so many questions right now! But first I must state, that you should not been able to summon (both of us!) from a single circle! What the fook, is wrong with you?!!"

The princess give her time of semi disgusting glaring at the Newdori until she looked at the maid. "Savii darling… It doesn't matter if you have Grimoire or not. When you as robot; still missing the blood in your wains, that is necessary for a blood sacrifice. You simply don't have the power and shall not be able to use magic itself to summon anything."

.

But the Robo-Neko was still in her enlightenment mood. "I work here my life sentence, and I used the power of coupons." She showed then the tickets as it was some game-play card move. The five pieces of paper give a single colorful glow reviling powers of magical tokens, that was currently used up.

At that moment the duo in synchronized mod, already backed from her making two steps back. Almost as if the pieces of papers was something they want to stay away from it.

.

Then Newdori finally turned his gaze on Furtrap and barked at him. "Fizzi!! What the hell is going on!? Answer me and no jokes!"

The withe cat argue back. "Hey! I am confused as you are. But maybe the clerk behind the counter can give you some answers. He looked like he know something about, why she like this and what going on. But he doesn't want to tell me anything useful!"

The barman watched the entire show with boring expression leaning himself on the bar, because the event manage scare all the customers who was in line to get beer, stuff and services, and they decide to 'run away' or they tactically 'moved to other establishment'. He was sarcastic: "Oh great. The best thing ever… (complaint!)." [complaining customer] He sighed.

.

.

But the Newdori marched right in front of the bar counter and dead stare at him. "Okay pal, what is this fookery?!!" [f**ckery, An unfair or morally wrong action.]

As they sight meets the tapper stayed unattached as ever. "You hired!"

.

Of course the fan of Allucard don't get it. "What?!!"

"If you truly want to know whats going on, then the best way how to get your answers is to work here."

.

As expected the priest dint like what he heard, so he decided walk over the counter. Making big shoulders and making angry comments declaring other intention that helping with work.

But the barman turned his gaze towards Roxxan, witch too stepped in front of the taper with her evil smirk. Meliodas eyes give out a hint as if he could guess what she is. "So, what it will be for you 'Mademoiselle'? [in French: young lady]

She was always flattered with proper etiquette approach toward her. So she made a little bit flirtatious tone of approach. "Let me see mister bar keeper. What I seek is more like a service towards the crown. Something, which will at last; for a short moment, warm your tummy and my heart. I shall pick to my hands something metallic slim and shiny, for the glory and honor. Maybe I shall show you personally, so stay still." [She wants to stab him.]

.

Newdori who walk over to assault the tapper on his home field, hold on his intention for moment, because he got curious about how the barman reaction will be, when Roxxan do her move.

But the Meliodas was cool even now. "Nah! I get it! Something that will one shot you down, glorifying like a small shot." [small shot - cca 4-5 cl glass of distilled liquor/ alcohol- sometimes in fashion shape of shotgun cell] He got excited. "I have something just for you. Just wait for moment!" Then he turned his attention to his new part-time employee. "Hey newbie!, go downstairs to the dungeon! There is room with holly maiden. Go there, do task that will ask you to do, and retrieve from her, the (holly milk). There shall be everything you need to finish this task smoothly. If you will think that you can obtain more that one dose, then the extra bottles shall be on shelf. When you finished with the first one, just place it into elevator and press deliver button. Of course any extra, that you manage to fill up, will get extra reward for you. Just put them to the fridge and you can go back. You look like a healthy man with skilled hands, so you can milk some nice amount of bugs [money] from this task."

Roxxan looked like she was searching for something in her pockets and folds of her clothes. But she get restless/ uncertain as she was unable to find it.

.

But the jawbone of her red suit college fall down as he try process what he shall go to do. "What the foooook?" The moment he exchange a glance with the demon girl who currently had suspiciously harmless expression, he hesitate for moment. "How?... exactly?... will that affect her?"

The tapper smirked as he was ruling over this discussion. "Ho, ho, ho… Trust me! It will, one shot her for sure. The warm will hit her right from tummy up to her heart. Her entire body will burs to that amount, she will respawn due to incineration. [She will burn in flames.] It's indeed a holly substance after all. So go already! You really don't want make her wait for her purgation [purification] any longer."

But the girl in question realizes that something is abnormal here, and was on alert. Her feet made a subtle hint of her backing toward the exit.

.

Newdori saw that and got (angry?), so he bark at the barman. "What the hell, pall?!! I know you crapping me!! I am dark priest after all! I am not going down to meet the holy maiden and I not going to milk her!!"

But Meliodas got shockingly confused expression and seriously asked him: "Do you have something against cows?! What are you?!... A racist?! Well, until you don't criticize her chose of fashion, she will go with everything. Or if mister priest prefer sheep's, that one will have shift tomorrow."

This time it was Roxxan whose jawbone falls down. with shocked expression on her face, fingers on her hand moved irregularly as they seek to grab 'something', to jump toward this opportunity. [and stab him]

.

There was one line that every unhappy worker desire to say to his cruel boss. So the red Newdori yell it: "That it!! I QUIT!!!"

But it was nothing towards the sarcasms of the tapper. "Good, it will save me the trouble to 'fire up' [dismiss] an incompetent employee."

.

The priest build up an unhealthy tick in his eye, he realize that he will likely don't win any argument here by words. "Seriously!! The hell is with this Fookery???!"

The unshaken barman was cold toward him as he roll around his eyes. "Ogh! Incredible! Listen here pall: What you wanted, sometimes isn't what you get. But in you case: You chose this!" He pointed toward the 'special menu' panel, where 'indeed' was 'Fookery' stated as one of the more rude options.

.

The Newdori voice indicates that he lost all his hope towards the half sized owner. "You…. You are beyond help!" In Allucard stile he pulled out his gun, in order to save this poor soul from the misleading life that he has living. Newdori aimed, pulled the trigger, and gunshot echoed through the restaurant.

But Meliodas was fast. He pulled out the sword on his back, and swung. He shouted name of some technique, repelled the bullet and as a bonus he add a wind slash. Then it was the priest who get hit by his own shot. And it has been the priest again, who get hit by blast in so angle: that he flew in (horizontal?) pirouette above the bar counter. He crash landed onto the floor with 'Uff!', right next to the demon girl feet. This family restaurant clerk was just to strong, that he doesn't take them seriously. "Enough of this nonsense! The maid summoned the two of you, to a luxurious dinner that has been already covered. Its entire yours crap for enabling summoning. So shut up! Take you wife with you, and do as (the pact) asking for you! And for the record, I am not the one who is here in control over you two and your story plot of yours side quest or whatever you are on." Then he gaze directly at the girl. "And for you 'Mademoiselle', there was yours (one shot) you asked for. I hope you will enjoyed it to the fullest."

Roxxan 'Face-Palm' herself as she cannot believe it. Eventually she grabbed Newdori who moaned in pain, and start walking toward Fizzi group, dragging him across floor as some bag or puppy that refuse to walk with his owner.

[*Newdori the yelling priest and Roxxane (Vronica) the two-faced princess: joined the party. Involuntarily.*]

[Notes, theories, and amiss explanations]

Newdori - demon priest who bless/ cleans the world of WR with word of god, (ehm, I mean truth), pun, and swearing (yelling at players) His 'dead body' have after dead scene, self-clean ability.

Vronica - somehow (over century old?) young shy princess of some deceased (mysteriously lost or forgotten) kingdom of Neko's, with English ascend and routs. Poses: 'Heroine trait'. Her knight in shining armor is Megamem3.

Roxxan - a (tween sister?) of Vronica, currently demon (empress class) with French ascent, and blood spell connection with her sister. As one chose to be the day side protector, the other chose be the night side protector. She poses 'Grimoire of *not readable* destiny'. Her knife is blood sacrificial altar for 'mega class spell'. She still does her quest to protect her/ their (kingdom?)… Bud the price… she losing itself…

Empress Class Demon - contain prodigious power that is so powerful that it's actually harmful to environment and holder itself. So it's mostly sealed inside of that vessel. Releasing it can cause 'Boss level stage' to appear, causing change in appearance and personality of the vessel, as if that was a completely different person, with different (locked) memories, that lied dormant this entire time. Those hosts are usually kept close to the throne and crown, so they can be on surveillance or used as a last stand. There is reports that opening the power to the full extend leaded to long timed or permanent changes to environment, like barriers that kept the land separate for millennia, or create an another new world, dimension. (Or… [*in sinister grin*] bring back/ resurrect some fallen kingdom.)

Token - it can be a physical device which makes it easier for users of 'secured services' to authenticate for access and use. It can be a 'code' whose price is tied to the issuer. Imagine 'Miko' [Shintoism woman priest], 'Kami' [angel/ god] or 'Mazoku' [demon] to hand-writing something on paper, infuse it with his power, 'Ki', magic, and then use it later or hand over it to his subordinate so they can use the spell if they have enough of manna. (Token it's not the power ring of ownership that transfer the power of lord to herald. (halo, collar) )

Face-Palm - (Face in palm.) Gesture is used in many cultures as a manifestation of frustration, disappointment, indignation, embarrassment, horror, shock, surprise, exhaustion, sarcasm, or disbelief.

While writing, I accidentally write that the barman has hanging himself over the bar, when he watched the summoning of Newdori and Roxxan. Witch in that sentence it can sound as he tried to end his life when he obviously knows more that anyone. with he was only leaning over it.
