"Who is the owner of this store ? Come out quickly. My captain wants to see you!" The knight member with the pigtails tapped the wooden table placed outside the store and yelled loudly. All of a sudden , his shout drew a crowd of onlookers.
"I’m coming! Welcome to our small store! The four knight lords, how can I help you? I'm sure I will offer up you best dishes!" The owner, who was bloated and wearing an apron, ran out of the store hurriedly , rubbing his hands together and smiling ingratiatingly at the four young knights in front of him.
"We're not here to eat." The first of the four knights waved his hand and glimpsed at the humble and simple outfit of the owner from the noodle store in front of him, and a trace of contempt flashed imperceptibly under his eyes.
"Has the owner noticed anything unusual near your store recently?" The knight with short hair at the head glanced at the noodle shop owner in front of him and asked indifferently.
"Unusual? This ........." The boss looked at the four in front of him hesitantly, actually feeling a little puzzled.
"Well, I'd better get it straight. To be honest, the four of us received a mission from above to hunt down a demon species that had fled to a human city. This matter is of great importance, so please cooperate with our investigation, boss." The short-haired knight frowned slightly and explained slowly .
"Demon species?!" The boss sucked in a breath of cold air at first, and then shook his head like a rattle. "
"No. Definitely no. The four knight lords, it is impossible for a devine Buddha to appear in my small store, let alone a demon species. There are few patrons in my store all the day. ”
"No? I advise you to be honest, or you commited the crime of harboring a demonic species if I verify this thing! . Before waiting for the the short-haired knight to say anything else, the knight with the pigtails sitting aside became impatien and said coldly with arrogant tone of voice.
"This ....... Four knight lords ,ah, I just hold my small store by making money in my family, which is not to mention the demon species, even the rat can not be willing to like my shabby store, ah." The boss's face began to turn ugly even after tolerating this nonchalant statement from the knight in pigtails.
"Gale, do not make a scene." The short-haired knight rebuked the pigtail symbolically, and looked at the boss and said indifferently , "Mr. Boss, you'd better give an account. Yesterday, we commissioned a fellow of holy martial artist from the divination faction, and he followed the escape route of the demon species to calculate the direction accurately she should be in now. Without surprise, she’s near your store, and ..... "
The short-haired knight's eyes narrowed to a slit. "In the neighborhood, your store can only be used as a building to conceal the whereabout ...... Do you see what I mean when I say that?"
"Eh eh?! Are you, are you guys saying that I'm harboring demon seeds? That's impossible, how could I possibly do something like that ......" The boss's face turned white, and then he explained in a panic.
"It's not up to you explain whether there is a demon species in your store or not! We have to search!" The other knight interrupted the boss's self-defense without mercy.
"Hey, well, my store is not very big anyway. So if you all want to search it, then search it, but please do it quickly. Although my small store holds a small business , it still needs to be operate." The owner sighed helplessly and made a compromise.
The short-haired knight gave a wink to the three knights on the side, and the other three knights understood. In a flash, they rushed into the store in three steps, followed by the sound of drumming and pounding, followed by the sound of pots and pans hitting the floor.
"That ......Dear the knight, our small store's main goal is to provide the best service to our customers as possible as we can. Can you ask the other three lords to search with a little tender action ......" At this moment, the owner's face was more bitter than a bitter gourd.
"Don't worry, they have it in mind." Seemingly impatient to answer, the short-haired knight wrapped his arms around his chest and made a perfunctory remark casually , then tried to find a stool to sit on to rest his feet. But looking around, all of them in the store were some four-cornered stools of simple craftsmanship, the short-haired knight frowned and withdrew his gaze.
"Bam ！Clang Clang~....." Hearing the sound of smashing coming from the store in bursts, the owner's heart was dripping with blood while there was a feeling of spending days like years.
Finally, after the sound of smashing, several knights with frowned brows slowly walked out.
"...... No luck?" The short-haired knight revealed some disbelief, in his opinion, the diviner's prediction was absolutely reliable. It was impossible to go wrong. Besides, it took his own great effort to hire the divination faction of the holy martial artists, if not searched successfully, not only blood money wasted, but his own prestige in the squad was only afraid to be lost.
And if the short-haired knight could capture the demon species roaming around the city, he'll be able to rise to fame. And his future in the Order will become more and more bright in the ascendant. At that time, perhaps he would get a promotion to be a subminister.
"Strengthen your efforts to keep searching!" The short-haired knight's gaze was fixed, and he was already determined to search for the demonic species even if he had to dig up the ground today!
"Wait ..... Wait a minute! It is hard for my shabby store to be looted heavily. Please knight Lord forgive me. You see, I am a person of the age of 40s, how can I collude with any demon species possibly??" The boss rushed forward to block the door of his store, and his gaze even took on a few hints of begging.
"Get out of my way!!! Or you will be arrested and apprehended for obstructing the official duties of a knight as well as harboring a demonic species against humanity!" The short-haired knight threatened viciously.
