Chapter 59: Snakes (?)
Chapter 59: Snakes (?)
Natasha slowly turned around and found it was his brother stopping him from talking, "Don't talk for now. Can't you see? He is focusing his attention on that fire to save everyone?"
"Mhm" Natasha observed what Xin was doing and refrained herself from intervening.
Xin was sweating profoundly as his new body wasn't used to such things. If it were the Xin of the past, it wouldn't have become a problem. But the current Xin hadn't refined his body, nor had undergone any special evolution or training.
Slowly but steadily, the magiculus fire was curing everyone in the restaurant, starting from the waiters to the customers to the owner everyone was getting healed, Xin was taking a breath of sigh when he felt some changes in the magiculus fire, "Huh?! That's weird!!" Xin talked to himself in a low voice.
Observing Xin's work was coming to an end, and he was relaxing a bit, Nen went near him and passed him a handkerchief. Xin nodded his head in appreciation and received the handkerchief from Nen.
Since he was sweating a lot, the small piece of cloth became wet with just one wipe of his face. Xin frowned at it. He was about to say something when someone threw a towel on his face.
"Use it, boy, that handkerchief won't suffice you," spoke a person from his side.
A smile appeared on Xin's face after hearing the voice. He knew that voice and the owner of that voice very well. It was Zinon, the second owner of the restaurant and the person he had been calling boss since the beginning.
"Thanks, boss," Xin replied in a loud voice. After wiping the sweat on his face and body, Xin threw it back to Zinon and asked him for a cold glass of water.
This Asian 6 feet figure with brown eyes was one of Xin's best friends. Though Zinon was four years older than Xin, they were like best buddies when seen together.
Xin and his parents often visit their restaurant for breakfast, dinner, and lunch, and this was the very reason that made a good bond of friendship between these two kids.
Not only the kids but their parents were also good friends. After drinking a cold glass of water, Xin stood up again and continued to cure everyone around him. One by one, everyone was waking. Some were terrified and making noises by seeing the scene before their eyes, while others were flabbergasted enough to remain silent until the end.
An hour later, Xin's work was coming to an end, and with it, the fire was on the verge of exhaustion. He was taking another breath of relief when something strange happened again.
A slight fluctuation in the magiculus fire, he had also felt the same an hour ago, but after giving it a quick thought, he concluded he must be tired since his body wasn't used to alchemy yet, and feeling things like magiculus fluctuation in the fire.
But when the same thing happened again, his suspicion became certain that someone was tampering with his magiculus fire. Xin narrowed his eyes and turned around to find the culprit behind it.
Nen, Natasha, Zinon, and everyone else observed he was acting strange. Some time ago, he was standing in one place and curing everyone, but suddenly for some reason, his facial expression changed. It was as if he was looking for someone.
Their guesses were also correct. Xin was searching for the one who was fiddling with his magiculus fire. The restaurant wasn't nothing compared to big ones, but it had two big rooms to accommodate customers.
The first room was for those who want to have any light foods like a sandwich, soup, or just rice balls. The other room was for customers who wanted to eat something heavy for lunch or dinner.
Xin and the others were in the first room, and the fluctuation was coming from the second room. After pondering over it for a bit, Xin turned around and headed towards the other room.
Zinon and Nen followed him to the other room as they were curious about his weird behavior. The second room looked exactly the same as the first one, just the size was double in comparison.
"Mhm Where, where, where?!" Xin asked himself.
Nen saw the desperate expression on his face and asked, "Mr. Xi-" before he uttered another word Zinon stopped him from talking and asked him to observe.
After looking here and there, Xin finally found the source of fluctuation and its location in the room. There was a small two-seater table on the left corner of the room before table number 17, which was the reason for his magiculus fluctuation.
Xin slowly went near the table and had a look at its customer. Two girls wearing the same jeans and tops were lying on it. From a first look, anyone could say they were twins for sure.
One more thing he observed was the magiculus fire near them. For some reason, it was depleting at an alarming rate, which was the very reason for the magiculus fluctuation.
Nen couldn't hold it any longer and asked it out in one go, "Mr. Xin, what's wrong with those twins? You have been staring at them for a while."
Now that he had asked out the question, he was waiting for his reply, and as expected, he got his answer as soon as he asked. But its content was something that neither of the two could understand.
"I am not staring at those twins. I am staring at those snakes above them."
Nen ""
Zinon ""
They had no idea what in the world he meant by 'the snakes above their head.'
Nen remained quiet for some seconds, then fired out his question again, "Mr. Xin, what snakes are you talking about? I can't see anything!!"
Upon hearing this, Xin abruptly turned around with a deep frightening expression on his face.
"Zinon, can't you see those snakes on their heads?!" Xin asked in a loud voice.
"No I can't see anything."
"Ahaha, hahaha, hahahahaha, hahahahahaha," Xin started to laugh all of a sudden. It was as if he discovered a treasure in the middle of a deserted island. His frightened expression was nowhere to be found, and all they could see was a victory-winning laugh on his face.
"Who would have thought I could find the Miracle Twins here?! Ahahahah, hahaha."
