MTL - A Bar In An Alternate World: Pick Up A Young Witch-Chapter 23 Cute Skeleton Maid
The wind chime at the door rang, and Ringer's eyes moved to the bar door, with anticipation in his eyes.
He can't wait to use his newfound magic to mix drinks for his guests.
Come, I will make the best wine for whatever creature comes in.
However, the guests who came in were beyond Linger's expectations. Even though he had prepared himself mentally in advance, he couldn't help showing a shocked expression.
The customer who came into the store was wearing a black and white maid suit, with a black skirt surrounded by a circle of white lace, and under the skirt was a white and slender...
leg bone!
White, without a trace of flesh and blood bones.
Under those slender leg bones, there was a pair of shiny new black maid shoes.
Protruding from the cuffs of the jacket are slender arm bones, and at the end are a pair of small and delicate bone claws, holding a broom.
A slightly curved neck bone protruded from the upright black round neckline, and on top of it was a white skull, and a black maid's hat was worn on the beaded and jade-like cap, decorated with bright red ribbons.
Is this the Skeleton Maid?
Ringo was dumbfounded.
Seeing Ringer's expression, Lanya turned her head curiously.
When she saw the petite skeleton in a maid outfit, she jumped off the chair, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, what a cute skeleton maid! I really want to sign a soul contract with her!"
Ringer was very curious, how did she tell whether a skeleton was cute or not? And signing a soul contract with an undead creature, isn't that the behavior of a necromancer?
However, upon closer inspection, the bones of this skeleton are white and crystal clear like jade, especially the skull, which is as delicate as a work of art, even if it is placed in a museum for exhibition.
Moreover, its body proportions are also very coordinated. If you look at it more, it doesn't seem so scary.
Coupled with the exquisite maid outfit, it is really inexplicably cute.
Just a little more explicit...
The lovely skeleton maid was obviously frightened by Lanya's enthusiasm, she lowered her head shyly, her upper and lower jaws shook slightly, and the two rows of white teeth collided together, making a clicking sound.
Ringer actually understood what she said.
"I'm sorry, I'm already the maid of Lord Elvy's family, so I can't sign any contract with you."
Lan Ya suddenly showed a disappointed expression.
Elise looked the most calm, just like receiving an ordinary guest, walked up and said:
"Welcome to the Emerald Bar. What kind of drinks do you want? Do you want to try the latest cocktails in the store? The bartender over there with eyes like frogs looks dumb, but his bartending skills are not bad ,It will not let you down."
The skeleton maid seemed a little nervous, clenched the broomstick in her hand, and her two rows of teeth shook again.
"Why did your store open in Lord Elvy's castle? I just wanted to come in and clean it. I should have opened the door of the storage room."
Elise smiled and explained: "It's not that this store is opened in your lord's castle. The door you opened is just connected by the magic door and becomes one of the exits of this store." Silk pointed to the wooden door behind the skeleton maid.
The skeleton maid said in fear: "Then can I go back?"
"Of course no problem, as long as you open the door, you can return to the castle you are familiar with. But don't you really need a drink?"
"No, no, if I drink it, it will all leak out, and I still have a lot of work to do."
"Then let's have another drink next time."
"This..." The skeleton maid scratched her skull with her fingers, seeming a little troubled.
At this moment, the store door was suddenly kicked open roughly, and a **** headless horseman in a black battle armor, surrounded by black flames, rushed in, holding a vicissitudes of life man's head.
"I have come to retrieve my sword!"
The man saw the **** sword hanging on the wall at first sight.
"Ah, my sword."
Elise stopped the Headless Horseman who wanted to retrieve her greatsword.
"This no-brainer customer, please don't kick the door hard, and don't try to take anything from our store, or I will blow you out again."
"What's in your store? That's obviously my dark flame sword!"
Elise smiled: "Now it's a decoration in our shop."
The man who was held in his hand frowned suddenly, thought for a moment, and suddenly said:
"I understand. It seems that only by defeating you can I get my sword back."
The headless horseman threw up the man's head, and the flying man's head did not land, but was suspended under the chandelier of the bar, watching Elise condescendingly.
The body that remained on the ground raised its hands, bowed slightly, and made a posture of preparing for battle.
"Come on, fight me with your mighty fists, I will never give up until I knock you down."
The man floating in the air said excitedly.
"What's the matter? Why didn't you shoot? Come on, hit me hard, bah, no, fight me!"
The Headless Horseman took a step forward and opened his arms, as if to welcome Elise's attack.
Elise showed a perverted look, and took a step back with disgust.
"If you don't do it, then I will do it first!"
The Headless Horseman suddenly stretched out his right hand, with a black flame wrapped in his palm, and attacked Elise's chest. Ringer only saw Elise's right leg move, and the **** body of the Headless Horseman went straight to the door and go.
Before the headless body hit the door, the door of the bar opened automatically, and it flew straight out. Then there was a bang outside the door, which seemed to be the sound of the wall being smashed.
The man's head floating under the lamp seemed to suddenly lose its strength and fell to the ground, rolling under the skirt of the skeleton maid.
"Huh, huh... This feeling is really great, so great!"
The man's head was panting, his face flushed with excitement, as if some kind of secret need had been greatly satisfied.
"Master Elvie, you..." The skeleton maid looked down at the man's head, but hesitated to speak.
"Oh, it's Carney, it's great that you are here, take me out of here quickly, my body is temporarily unable to move."
"Okay, okay, Lord Elvy!"
The skeleton maid named Kani immediately dropped the broom in her hand, picked up the man's head, and rushed out the door.
A man's head's voice came from outside the door: "I will challenge again!"
The corners of Elise's eyes twitched twice. Although she threw the troublemaker out, she couldn't feel happy at all. Instead, she thought in a daze:
"My strength has been defiled..."
A fierce expression suddenly appeared on her face, and her fists clenched with a bang.
"If he comes again, his body must be blown up so that he can never appear in front of me again!"
Lan Ya was still thinking about the petite skeleton wearing a maid outfit, looked out of the door with a disappointed face, and whispered: "Cute skeleton maid, will she come again?"
Linger was thinking, can a normal guest come, even if he is not human, at least he should be able to taste the wine I concocted, skeletons and headless horsemen, so don't come again!
After the door closed, the store quickly returned to calm.
Ringer wiped his glass and looked towards the door of the bar from time to time, looking forward to the arrival of new guests.
Lan Ya was lying on the bar, listening to the music in the store, shaking her calf leisurely, and suddenly said:
"That bad girl with red hair hasn't shown up for two days, I don't know why."
"I hope she's ashamed of what she did, she's introspecting, and she's embarrassed to be here," Ringer said.
Elise's voice came from the wine table.
"Then you underestimate her. That woman doesn't know what shame is, just like that headless pervert."
Linge had long been curious about the true gender of the headless horseman, and when he heard Elise mention it, he took the opportunity to ask:
"Is that Headless Horseman a man or a woman? Why does his body look like a woman's but is holding a man's head?"
Elise gritted her teeth, her fist hardened again.
"I don't want to discuss anything about that pervert."
She stood up suddenly and walked into the lounge.
Only Linge and Lanya were left in the hall.
"I know." Lan Ya blinked and said suddenly.
"you know?"
"As an elite existence among the undead, the Headless Horseman has a powerful soul in life, and the soul is immortal after death. As long as the soul is not completely wiped out, it will not usher in real death.
Therefore, the Headless Horseman will hide his soul in the original head, and hide the head in a secret place that will not be discovered by others, and will never show his true colors to others. "
Linger pondered: "That is to say, the head of the man that the headless horseman was holding just now is not his real head?"
"Of course not. He just separated a ray of soul and stored it in that head to act as the eyes and ears of that body."
"What about the body?"
Linge poured a glass of water for Lanya, Lanya took a sip, and continued:
"Generally speaking, the Headless Horseman will not give up his original body easily, because their original body still has the battle memory left in his life, it is the most convenient to control, and the greater the power it will exert.
If you manipulate the bodies of other creatures, even if that strange body is much more powerful, it may not be as good as their original bodies. "
"So she's a woman?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. The Headless Horseman was also a knight during his lifetime, and he valued dignity and glory. If he was a man, he would definitely not show others with a female body.
It's also the first time I've seen a female headless horseman, and her body is so well maintained, and her skin is more dewy than a living person. The headless horsemen I have seen before all have a certain degree of decay, and some even have only skeletons left. "
After listening patiently, Linge nodded slightly, and suddenly asked:
"Lanya, you seem to know a lot about undead creatures?"
Lan Ya suddenly covered her small mouth.
Oops, I accidentally said too much.
Seeing Lan Ya's reaction, Linge couldn't help laughing.
She said before that she could see her own soul. At that time, he didn't know what it meant, but when he was looking through the magic book last night, he happened to see a description of a special group related to the undead. With her performance, he can already confirm her identity.
"Lanya, are you actually a necromancer?"
