Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Baiquan raised his head to see who had entered the café at this hour.
Baiquan was shocked to see a large group of girls swarming into the café, "They cosplayed as King Arthur, Asuna, Madoka Magica, Mio Akiyama and even Rangiku Matsumoto." Baiquan stared at the girl who cosplayed as Rangiku and mumbled, "She looks exactly like Rangiku from Bleach."
Baiquan"s face flushed with excitement because it was the first time he had come so near to a group of beautiful girls.
Coco asked, "You seem interested in cosplay. Do you want to join us?"
"It"s okay!" Baiquan immediately lowered his head to hide his flushed face from them, "You can sit wherever you want, and I"ll fetch you the menu."
Coco proceeded to her usual spot in the café, and the girls followed behind. The girls" expression changed immediately since they entered the café.
Asuna looked around the café and felt an inexplicable soothing sensation. She could not help but asked Coco, "Coco, have they drugged this place?"
Madoka Magica was already lying on the table, with both her feet dangling in the air. She mumbled, "How comfortable!"
"Hmm, I feel as if I"m flying."
"My legs don"t hurt anymore, and neither does my waist!"
"I really feel like I"m flying."
Roly Poly which was perched on the top of the kitty tower stared at the group of people curiously. He asked, "What happened to these two-legged cats? Why are the colors of their fur so weird?"
Elizabeth, which was surrounded by a horde of customers, curled her lips in disgust and replied, "That"s fake hair. These people are like silly Matcha. I guess they are probably disguising themselves as some rare human breed."
"Oh, I understand," Roly Poly nodded his head in agreement, and his eyes stared at their colorful hair and whispered, "I didn"t know there are so many human breeds. And the colors of their fur are even more complicated than cat"s fur."
"What do you mean when you say they are like me?" Matcha, which was buried in a young girl"s arms, wagged his tail furiously, "Elizabeth, I am warning you. My bloodline can be traced all the way back to five thousand years ago. If you continue spouting nonsense about my bloodline, I, George Matcha, will have to take care of you on behalf of my ancestors!"
He shook his head and continued, "Furthermore, what you said previously was factually incorrect. They were not disguising themselves as a rare human breed. It"s so obvious! Can"t you guys tell?"
Both cats were perplexed by Matcha"s reply.
Matcha continued shaking his head and announced confidently, "Dumba.s.s, they bought skins. This is just like the skins I bought in Mobile Legends."
Elizabeth rolled her eyes in disgust before proceeding to lick the fur on her tail.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had been eavesdropping on the conversation all these while. He was thinking about how to increase the revenue for the café when an idea sprang up in his head. His eyes glimmered, and he thought, "Maybe this will work." He began brainstorming on his next money making masterpiece.
Outside the café, Diaochan and the rest were staring at their friends through the frosted gla.s.s. Since entering the café, the looks on Coco and Asuna had changed radically. They were curious as to what had happened inside.
"What happened to them?" Diaochan asked curiously, "They seem a little strange."
Kirito just replied, "They look like they are high on drugs."
Diaochan"s eyebrows knitted together as she replied, "Hopefully not! Anyway, this is just a tiny café filled with stray cats. I"m sure they won"t stay inside for too long."
Half an hour later, the other girls were still inside the café. They were either lying on the chair or playing with the cats. Diaochan"s eyes seethed with anger, and she shouted, "How can they be so inconsiderate? Can"t they see that there"s a group of people waiting for them outside?"
She turned around to more annoyed faces, and she immediately took out her phone from her bag. She tried to call everyone inside the café, but no one bothered to pick up her call.
She turned to her friend beside her and said, "Go in and get them out now, everyone is famished."
Diaochan"s eyes were fixed on her friend as she saw her walking into the café. Suddenly, she froze after she took one step into the café. She then shook her head before walking towards Coco.
Diaochan"s eyes remained fixed on her as she just wanted all of them to leave the café so that they could have dinner.
However, the scene which unfolded before her eyes shook her. Her friend took a seat beside Coco and ordered a drink.
"F*ck, what"s happening? What the f*ck are they trying to do?" Diaochan stamped her foot in anger as she turned to Kirito who stood beside her, "You! Go in and get all of them out right now!"
Kirito shrugged her shoulders and followed her instructions.
However, the mysterious scene repeated itself. She froze after taking one step into the café. She then walked to Coco and ordered a drink!
"What the f*ck! Are they doing this on purpose?" Diaochan was boiling with anger. She did not understand why the people in the café could not spare a thought for the rest who were waiting for them outside.
This time, she decided to take things into her own hands. She stomped her foot angrily and dashed into the café with a fearsome aura.
Her body s.h.i.+vered the moment it made contact with Celestial Beats.
Zhao Yao who remained seated at the corner of the café chortled as he witnessed this scene. When the students walked into his café, he only saw the imaginary RMB 100 note flas.h.i.+ng at the top of their heads.
"Hmm, I guess having pretty girls in the café helps with business."
The entire cosplay society had entered the café by the time it was about to close. They were either lying or sitting on the chairs. The one similarity between them was that their faces were all wreathed in smiles. n.o.body bothered bringing up the topic of dinner.
When the clock struck 6 pm, Zhao Yao slowly got to his feet and announced, "It"s time for us to close our shop. You guys can go back home for dinner!"
Coco could not bear to leave the place and pleaded, "Boss, can you open the café for a few minutes more?"
Asuna joined in by saying, "Boss, which café closes at such an early timing?"
Diaochan stared at Zhao Yao with her puppy eyes and continued, "Boss, I"ve only been here for half an hour, can you delay the closing time by just ten minutes?"
Zhao Yao folded his arms and replied, "Alright, we will begin packing up the place now. However, you will have to take your leave the moment we finish packing."
Diaochan nodded her head vigorously and replied, "We will not disturb you when you are packing, and we will leave the moment you are done packing."
After half an hour of packing, Zhao Yao began chasing the girls out of the café.
Diaochan looked at the café with longings eyes and said, "Coco, we must come back tomorrow!"
Coco nodded her head and replied, "You don"t say? I come here every single day."
After locking the door, Zhao Yao immediately caught up to s.h.i.+ Yu and patted her on her shoulders, "Thank you for your hard work for the past two weeks. Let me treat you to dinner as a form of appreciation."
Baiquan rushed towards the both of them and asked, "Boss, can I join you guys for dinner?"
"Let"s go together then!"
Baiquan was grinning from ear to ear and asked excitedly, "What are we going to have for dinner?"
"How about hotpot? There"s a new hotpot restaurant right outside the university. I heard it"s pretty good."
s.h.i.+ Yu suspected that there was more than meets the eyes as she stared at Zhao Yao. She thought, "Why does he suddenly want to treat us to dinner." From her weeks of interaction with Zhao Yao, she understood that he was not a generous person.
Zhao Yao replied sheepishly, "There"s something which I would like to consult you about."
s.h.i.+ Yu was on her guard and replied, "What do you want to ask?"
"Let"s eat first! We"ll discuss as we eat!"
Plates of beef and mutton slid into the boiling soup. Matcha and the other supercats were temporarily at the café. Zhao Yao, Baiquan, and s.h.i.+ Yu were the only ones at the restaurant.
Baiquan lowered his head and devoured the food in a matter of seconds. With his pa.s.sive power of "Two is better than one", Zhao Yao cleaned off all his food instantly.
After a delicious meal, s.h.i.+ Yu focused her attention on Zhao Yao and asked, "What did you intend to ask me?"
Zhao Yao replied, "Between Daniel Wu and Kris Wu, who do you find more attractive?"
