The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 133 Suspicion, The Black Bull Arrives, and the Fiery Banatha

The next day, early in the morning.

With the wooden sign that read "Tavern" hung outside the shop, it signified the official opening of the tavern.

There's no such thing as a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a store opening. All you need to do is put up the store's sign to indicate that the store is open for business.

The pub run by Miki and Rebecca attracted a lot of attention when it was being renovated, and now that it has officially opened, it has caught the attention of many shop owners on the street.

Since it was morning, there weren't many customers in the tavern. After all, no one gets up early to drink; the tavern is actually open at noon and in the evening.

Even so, Rebecca got up early and went into the kitchen to prepare in advance.

After washing up with Rebecca's younger siblings, Miki began tidying up the tables and chairs in the tavern. The noisy chatter of Mar, Luca, and the others occasionally drifted from the hall.

"You guys be careful, don't touch it."

Momo glanced at the group, and seeing that Mar and the others were just playing around, he gave them a reminder before continuing to look at the ledger in his hand.

With the tavern opening, Miki and Rebecca couldn't be as casual as before. Everyone assigned their roles: Rebecca was in charge of the kitchen and cooking, while Miki was responsible for greeting customers and managing the profits.

It may seem a bit troublesome, but for Miki, it's another kind of relaxation.

Just started.

Yuki did indeed only use the tavern as a way to conceal his identity, and incidentally, as a legitimate reason to stay in the capital. Now, Yuki has come to regard this place as a place where he can relax his tense emotions and think things through carefully.

Sometimes, knowing more things isn't necessarily a good thing.

Yumu felt a strange sense of urgency, but she also understood the principle that one must eat one bite at a time.

The free time ended quickly, and as noon approached, more and more guests began to enter the tavern. Surprisingly, only a small portion of these guests were impromptu visitors.

Most of the remaining customers were the group of people that Mariara, disguised as Miki, had rescued when the capital was attacked. They all rushed over as soon as they learned that the tavern was opening today.

In just a few moments, the entire tavern became lively.

Many people thanked him when they saw him pass by, which made him feel somewhat helpless, but he could only respond with a smile.

"What would you like, sir?"

Miki arrived at a table in an inconspicuous corner of the tavern and smiled at the man who was wearing a hat and dressed conservatively.

"It's great that the tavern has so many customers so soon after opening."

The man wearing a hat raised his head, revealing a pale face with black vertical marks on both sides of his cheeks, and spoke in a low voice.

“You are injured, Walters.”

The smile on Yuki's face remained unchanged as he gently flipped through the menu in his hand. From a distance, it looked as if Yuki was introducing the dishes to the guests.

"An accident occurred during the attack on the capital. Fortunately, you were not involved, otherwise your identity might have been exposed."

Walters lowered his head slightly, his voice still low and hoarse.

Upon hearing the words "an accident occurred," Yuki's face did not show any surprise. Instead, his tone was solemn: "It's Yami, the leader of the Black Bulls. Is Lord Richter alright?"

Walters, with his somewhat narrow eyes, looked intently at Yumu: "It seems you already know, it is indeed the other party."

"Don't worry, Lord Richter is fine."

"Lord Richter's power far exceeds your imagination. How could the captains of those magic knight orders possibly be a match for Lord Richter?"

When Walters mentioned the three "Richter"s, his voice involuntarily filled with fervor, and he spoke with a firm tone.

Upon hearing this, Yumu pretended to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Miki continued flipping through the menu in her hand.

"Your work on gathering intelligence on the capital should be suspended for a while."

Walters looked at Yumu with a hint of observation in his eyes, and spoke in a slow and unhurried voice.

Yumu nodded, a knowing look on his face.

Done.

Walters said nothing more and got up to leave.

As he passed by other diners, he overheard many of them mentioning Mumu, who had saved them during the attack in the capital, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Mumu glanced at Walters's retreating figure, a slight smile appearing on his lips. Fortunately, Walters had taken precautions.

"Yami really went all out. Walters and the others are probably seriously injured, and Richter is likely injured as well."

Miki thought to himself silently.

Walters' sudden appearance, while not entirely unexpected, was not entirely surprising either.

Given this unexpected turn of events during the attack on the royal capital, even if Richter hadn't said anything, Walters would probably have realized that their intelligence about the attack on the royal family had likely been leaked.

The other party's appearance was not merely to tell him to reduce his actions and avoid being discovered by the alerted magic knights, but also to observe and test him.

"Knowing that I don't know much, Walters still remains suspicious of me. He's quite cautious." Miki shook her head almost imperceptibly and turned to continue serving the other customers in the tavern.

The lively atmosphere in the hall was quickly silenced by a loud shout.

There was a "click".

"Moriki, I'm here!"

The tavern door was pushed open, and Asta walked in, shouting excitedly.

Mumu turned around and looked at Asta, who had just entered, with a smile on his face. At the same time, his gaze followed Asta and looked behind him.

One by one, members of the Black Bulls followed Asta in. "Wow, this tavern is huge."

"As for the drinks, isn't it supposed to be all-you-can-drink? This is a rare opportunity."

"It smells so good! I can smell delicious food!"

"Don't drool, it's embarrassing! And why should I go out to eat with you guys when I finally have a holiday! I'm going to see Mary!"

"We agreed to have a holiday dinner together, how could you leave? You could have met up after dinner."

"Well--"

As arguments and voices of varying personalities filled the air, the entire tavern fell silent.

All eyes were focused on Black Bull and his group.

"People from the Magic Knights?"

"It's the Black Bulls!"

"That's right, and there are so many of them!"

"It's unbelievable that they actually eat at this tavern."

After a brief moment of astonishment, the diners in the tavern couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

With a smile on his face, Mumu quickly walked over to Asta and said with a smile, "It's been a while, Asta, your muscles have gotten even more toned."

"But I still train every day."

Asta raised his arm, flexed his muscles, and spoke with a grin.

"Not bad, Rebecca." A slightly smug voice came from the side.

"She's in the back kitchen, and Miss Noelle looks even prettier than before."

Mumu turned her head to look at Noel beside her and said with a smile.

"Ah, really?"

A blush rose on Noelle's cheeks.

"You're the Mogi that Asta and Noelle mentioned. I didn't expect you to be such a handsome young man."

Banasa stepped out, tossed her pink hair, and leaned her shapely figure against him, while extending her slender arms to wrap around Yimu's neck.

"Asta said the drinks are all-you-can-drink, right?" Banasa asked with a slightly ambiguous look on her face.

Seeing the mature woman's face so close to his own, and smelling a gardenia-like fragrance emanating from her, Mogi was momentarily stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

The witch Banatha, who escaped from the Witch Forest, has a truly fiery personality, and of course, that includes her figure.

"What...what are you doing?"

Noelle stared wide-eyed at Banassa's actions and stammered.

"Cough cough, of course, drink however you want."

Mumu couldn't help but cough a few times, and gently swayed his body, breaking free from Banassa's arms.

"that would be great!"

Banasa sensed Mu's movement, released her arm, and spoke with a satisfied smile, then winked at Noelle.

Noelle's cheeks flushed again, and she subconsciously turned her head to the side.

"When can we eat? I'm so hungry."

A little girl who looked to be only about 1.4 meters tall sniffed the fragrance in the air, patted her belly, and looked at Yumu expectantly.

It was none other than Chami.

"Sorry, everything has already been prepared for you. This way, please."

With an apologetic expression, Mumu addressed Chami and the rest of the Black Bulls.

While talking.

As Mumu's gaze swept over Chami, he led the group into the tavern.

I gained quite a bit from my last match against Chami.
Despite their short stature, it's actually due to their dwarf bloodline that they will transform into a normal human height when using "eating magic".

Led by Miki, the Black Bulls quickly arrived at a relatively spacious area where two large dining tables were set up.

One was prepared for the Black Bulls, and the other was prepared for the Golden Dawn.

Yuki knew that the nobles of the Golden Dawn wouldn't come, but Yuno would, so the necessary preparations still needed to be made.

Just as the Black Bulls members sat down, another commotion erupted in the hall behind them.

Yuki was taken aback, then guessed that it must be Yuno. After asking Asta and the others to wait a moment, he walked towards the door again.

"This tavern looks really nice. We can come here for dinner on our vacations, right, Lark?"

Magna of the Black Bulls leaned back casually in his chair, arms crossed over his neck, looking quite satisfied.

Done.

Magna noticed that Lark wasn't responding, and looked at him in confusion before being startled.

Lak was intently watching the departing figure of the tree, with electric currents occasionally emanating from his body and sparks flashing in his golden hair.
