Chapter 39:Enlightenment [3]

"hurry u-"

Interrupting me mid-sentence, Evangel suddenly stood up and leaned across the bar top, reaching her free hand towards the bottles of alcohol on the other side.

However, halting a few inches before the bottles, her hand suddenly dipped, disappearing from my sight before reemerging a couple of moments later.

Bringing her hand, which was now in a fist, back toward us, Evangel looked down at the mochi in her right hand and opened her left palm.

And there, lying in her left palm, was a plastic fork.

Tossing the fork to me, Evangel slowly stepped away from me before saying.

"Try to get it."

Then, as those words reverberated through the empty first floor, she suddenly jumped over the bar top, landing in the area where a bartender usually worked.

Just wanting to go to sleep, I gripped the fork, angling the sharp points so they were directly facing the mochi.
