The table collapsed.
What's all the fuss about
As the only "natural god" in the world, a candidate for UO, and a higher-ranking existence than the fantasy species, Elquit is more Tyrannosaurus than a humanoid Tyrannosaurus. Demolishing a building with bare hands and running faster than a sports car are all pieces of cake for him.
Under normal circumstances, she would deliberately control herself and not cause damage to the surroundings, but once she got excited, her control would weaken. Fortunately, she pressed the table with her palm, and the quality of McDonald's standard tables was acceptable, otherwise the diners would have seen a fantasy scene of her hands piercing the table like cutting tofu.
Of course, even if it is just pressed down, it will attract a lot of attention.
The young man sitting at the next table even imitated Elquet's posture and lifted his feet off the ground, putting all his weight on the table, yet the table remained intact, fully demonstrating the quality of McDonald's hardware facilities.
Shinji also reacted, and with one hand he pushed Arquette, who was mumbling "so fragile", back to his seat, and with the other hand he raised high and said in English:
"Sorry, we overplayed our hand. How much is the table? We'll pay you back at the original price."
The McDonald's waiter had never encountered such a situation before, so he quickly found the store manager and finally gave a price.
Shinji didn't bargain. Although the Matou family wasn't as wealthy as a country, the assets in the family were enough for family members to squander, so there was no need to worry about a small amount of money.
But when he took out his wallet to pay the bill, he was embarrassed again - he didn't have enough money.
Shinji's wallet was new. The previous one might have been lost in the Po River or in the sea. The ID and bank cards in it could be replaced, but it would take a lot of time. Shinji hadn't gotten them when he left home, so he put some cash in his wallet. Although Shinji often went abroad and had the habit of putting US dollars in his wallet, he was at home before, so he only put a few symbolically, enough for meals, but not enough to compensate for the table.
"Um, do you accept Japanese yen here?"
"I'm sorry, we don't accept Japanese yen. You can choose to pay by credit card, sir." The store manager replied.
"The key is that I didn't bring my card. Are you going to eat a free meal?"
Shinji muttered softly, turned his head to look at Elquet, and asked without holding out hope.
"Do you have any money?"
"No, but I think I can find a way. Anyway, I just need more paper like this."
As he spoke, Elquet pulled out a green bill from Shinji's wallet.
"That's right."
Shinji nodded, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness rising in his heart.
The next second, his anxiety came true. Elquet's eyes turned from red to gold, and then identical U.S. dollar bills appeared out of thin air, with no difference in the serial numbers.
Well, I was just sighing at the fantasy scene, and now it has appeared. This is no longer a matter of eyeballs all over the floor, but the eyeballs fell to the ground and were stepped on and exploded.
But the culprit was still proudly taking credit: "Hey, this much is not enough."
"That's enough, Pong friend, stop for a moment."
Shinji managed to suppress the emotions that kept surging in his chest. He first glanced at the surveillance camera above his head, and then drew runes in the air under the gazes of the terrified onlookers, performing the magic of suggestion that a magician must master to survive in society.
"Nothing happened, you saw nothing."
"Yes... nothing... didn't see anything..."
Under the influence of the rune, the ordinary people in McDonald's repeated the same words in unison. After repeating it several times and making sure there would be no problem, Shinji stopped hinting.
"Huh, it's really not easy to hint to so many people at once."
"What? I can do it in a second with my Mystic Eyes. Shinji is useless."
Hearing Elquet's complaints, the emotions that Shinji had managed to suppress surged up again.
"Whose fault do you think it is? If you hadn't misused your ability, would I have gone to such great lengths to clean up the mess?"
"I didn't use it indiscriminately, I just used a little bit."
A little bit indeed. Although the banknote is a man-made object, its structure is simple and there is a sample, so it is easy for Elquet to copy it.
"That's abuse. You promised me that you would ask for my permission before using your abilities."
Having been taken to play a 100-meter sprint in one second, how could Shinji not make good preparations in advance? Unfortunately, he still underestimated the princess's eccentricity.
"I, I was wrong, isn't that okay?"
Seeing that Elquet was in a low mood, Shinji's expression eased and his voice became much softer.
"I'm not holding on to your mistakes. Money is the basis of human society, and even a little confusion can lead to big problems. It's hard to explain in detail. If you're interested, I'll find you a book and you can study it slowly."
"No, you said it's troublesome, then it must be very troublesome, I won't watch it."
"You"
Elquet wrinkled her nose in disdain, which also brightened Shinji's mood. Her Royal Highness has such charm. However, this charm can only be perceived by those who are related to mystery. This is also one of Shinji's preparations. When Elquet's charm is really fully activated, the rationality of ordinary people will collapse in an instant, regardless of gender or age.
"Forget it, just don't watch it. Just remember what I said, don't do this kind of thing in the future. If you don't have enough money, I will pay for it."
Maybe this is a bit of an exaggeration, but for a good magician, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Elquet said "Oh" and pointed at the replica banknotes floating in the air and asked: "What should we do with these? Destroy them?"
"You've already made it, so don't waste it. Change the last three digits of the code so they don't repeat themselves."
"Is that so?"
A golden light flashed in his eyes, and the numbers changed immediately. No matter how many times he saw it, Elquet's ability was always amazing - this was the legendary human-shaped printing machine, printing money on the spot, and the real money was something that even the U.S. Mint could not verify.
"Yes, that's it. Let's go."
Shinji first counted out a sufficient amount and handed it to the store manager behind the cashier, then put the remaining bills into his wallet, and did not forget to wipe off the rune used for hint before leaving.
With a snap of fingers, the fast food restaurant returned to its normal order. Only the clerk standing at the door could vaguely hear the conversation between the man and woman who were walking away.
"By the way, you don't have a headache using 'Fantasy Manifestation'?"
"It still hurts, but it's better now."
"It seems that you have gradually become accustomed to the 'voice' of humans. Should I also find a place to try my magic?"
"Okay, okay, let's go now."
"No, we have to go somewhere first."
"Where to?"
"Where I can make international calls, my phone is out of battery."
"Cellphone? What's that?"
"That's it."
"It looks interesting. Hmm, I can't understand its structure for now."
"Then you can slowly understand it. If you still can't understand it, I'll buy a few more for you to play with."
"Hehe, Shinji is the best."
PS: Elquet printing money on the spot is not a fabrication by the treacherous young man, but comes from a certain "Tsuki-hime" animation that has been erased and does not exist in the present world. Elquet invited Shiki to dinner, and performed the live printing of money at the cashier. Shiki was so scared that he took Elquet and ran away. It also laid the groundwork for Elquet to work as a print model and make money. He also sighed that making money is not difficult at all. (Nonsense, with your face and figure, which star can compare? The person who invited you to take pictures made a lot of money, okay? By the way, we should also sigh that the person did not have a seizure in his brain and did not have any bad thoughts, otherwise even if he was a princess in a weak state, he could tear the devils apart at will.)
