Chapter 122: THE SIX (2)
The Evilus Corporation employees-only café.
Balancing a tray with two cups of coffee and two slices of cake, I approached the table. Beside me, Six cheerfully tagged along, flashing a grateful smile.
“Thank you! I can’t order these myself, you know.”
“...It’s nothing, really.”
“Come on—let’s sit down and eat!”
Six pulled a chair noisily and plopped down onto it. Given that no one else could see her, the fact that the chair moved on its own didn’t elicit any reaction from the people around us.
Was this because her ability went beyond simple presence suppression to something like cognitive alteration? Or was it just that this world was so used to paranormal phenomena that no one found it strange? I couldn’t tell.
Placing the coffee and cake on the table, I sat down, quietly observing her. She eagerly took a bite of the cake, beaming with joy as she savored the taste.
“Mmm! No matter how many times I eat this chocolate cake, it’s always delicious!”
“No matter how many times? If no one can see you, how do you even pay for it?”
“Pay? I just take one. I leave money behind, though. I’m not broke.”
“...Then why did you ask me to buy it for you?”
