Multiverse: SSS-Rank Treasure Chest at the Beginning

Chapter 294 294: Rikka's Magic Show

The grand carnival of the school cultural festival continued. After the song and dance performance by Yui and Iroha sparked an enthusiastic response, an even more intense festive atmosphere permeated every corner of the campus.

At this moment, on another stage, Rikka and her club members were preparing to put on a unique magic-themed performance.

Rikka wore a black magic robe, a pointed wizard hat, and held a beautifully decorated magic wand. Her lively eyes sparkled with excitement. Her companions also wore various distinctive magic costumes, and the entire team looked full of mysterious aura.

The performance began, and the stage lights dimmed, leaving only a few colorful spotlights.

Rikka stood in the center of the stage, cleared her throat, and said in her slightly childish yet passionate voice, "Hello everyone, welcome to the world of magic."

"Haha. Takanashi-san, you're as chuunibyou as ever."

Her classmates in the audience teased her endlessly.

The next second, however, smoke suddenly rose on the stage, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

Rikka waved her magic wand. Accompanied by carefully prepared sound and lighting effects, it was as if she were truly casting a spell. Her club members also displayed their respective "magic skills," some creating sparkling star effects.

"Is this a prop?"

"It feels a bit real?"

Everyone was instantly astonished.

In the audience, Megumi and Rukia were also watching the performance with interest.

Megumi maintained her usual calm demeanor, but her eyes revealed her appreciation for the performance.

"Maybe Rikka is using real magic?" Rukia curved her lips, revealing a hint of mischief.

As the performance reached its climax, Rikka was about to cast a more difficult spell—to make a giant magical creature appear on the stage. She concentrated, waved her magic wand, and chanted.

With a flash of intense light, a giant unicorn made of light and shadow appeared on the stage, its body shimmering with colorful light, as if it had stepped out of a fairy tale world.

"Holy cow!"

"Is this CGI?"

"Holographic projection?"

"Where's the projector?"

"Could it really be real?!"

The audience below was dumbfounded.

"This is the Evil King's True Eye User's familiar number three, the Unicorn Pegasus!" Rikka struck her signature chuunibyou pose, lifted her eye patch, and revealed her sparkling golden eye.

"That's really good. Rikka's smile is as healing as ever." Tenya had, at some point, arrived at the seat next to Megumi.

"Uh-oh. Tenya-kun, that's too close." A hint of shyness appeared on Megumi's calm face.

"Hey! You need to rein it in, this is a public place!" Rukia, standing nearby, warned him.

"It's alright, I can set up a barrier, people outside won't be able to see us." Tenya continued his little actions.

"No. Tenya-kun, Rikka-chan is still performing."

Megumi reached up and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, trying to remain composed.

Stare—

Rikka on stage, her sharp Evil King's True Eye, swept over.

"You can't even stay still for a day." Rukia couldn't help but sigh and shake her head.

After enthusiastic applause, the magic show ended.

"Tenya-kun!"

"Hmph!" Rikka angrily came down to confront him.

"Don't be angry, Rikka. As a bond from another world, we shouldn't let others shake our love." Tenya's bluffs came out effortlessly.

And the chuunibyou Rikka was quite receptive to them.

"Rikka is too easy to coax, isn't she?" Rukia's lips twitched.

"Tenya-kun just loves to bully others." Megumi sighed.

Unfortunately, the man in front of her had this kind of personality and couldn't be changed.

"To celebrate Rikka's successful performance this time, let's go get something delicious to eat."

"Oh, right, I remember Yukino's class seems to have set up a maid cafe." Tenya suggested.

"Hmph. You just want to go see that Ice Queen, don't you?" Rikka glanced sideways.

"You are all sisters, you should get along well in the future." Tenya spoke earnestly.

"Who's her sister?" Rukia raised an eyebrow.

Perhaps because their attributes overlapped, she and Yukino naturally didn't see eye to eye.

"Rukia is also an Ice Queen. Oh, right, can your Zanpakuto, Sode no Shirayuki, transform into a human form?"

Tenya suddenly remembered a plot point in the original story where Zanpakuto transformed into human forms, and Sode no Shirayuki was super beautiful.

"Huh? You're actually setting your sights on my Zanpakuto?" Rukia's expression immediately changed.

"I just said that casually, don't be so nervous." Tenya said so, but his gaze kept drifting towards the Zanpakuto at her waist.

"Impossible. I'm telling you, don't even think about it." Rukia quickly hid Sode no Shirayuki behind her back, glaring at him with a wary expression.

"Alright, if you don't want to give it, then don't give it." Tenya wasn't too concerned about this.

Anyway, he had plenty of choice. If you don't give, someone else will.

After casually placating Rikka with a few words, and although such nonsense couldn't fool the discerning Megumi, under Rukia's disdainful gaze, Tenya wandered off to the maid cafe by himself.

Upon entering tge maid cafe, a warm and sweet atmosphere enveloped him.

The interior was meticulously decorated, with pink walls adorned with delicate lace, and cute cat plushies neatly arranged. It was clearly a style decorated according to someone's preferences.

Tenya's gaze quickly scanned the shop and soon found Yukino busy at the counter. She was dressed in a well-fitted black maid uniform, the skirt length just right, revealing her fair and slender calves.

A white apron was tied at her waist, accentuating her slender waist and adding a playful cuteness.

Her usually neatly tied long black hair now had a few loose strands falling on either side of her face, adding a touch of gentle charm to her cool demeanor.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed from busyness, and her focused, serious gaze captivated Tenya.

Yukino noticed a customer enter, looked up, and her eyes met Tenya's, a hint of understanding flashing in them.

She knew that this man would definitely come.

"Phew..."

Yukino quickly regained her professional maid smile, though it held a hint of almost imperceptible shyness.

"Welcome. What can I get for you, customer?" Her voice was still cool and clear, yet carried a subtle nuance.

Tenya walked to the counter, his eyes fixed on Yukino, a mischievous smile on his lips.

He deliberately said, "Yukino, now you can say that I've been cute since I was little."

Yukino frowned slightly, glared at him, and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. Just order."

As she spoke, she unconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, trying to hide her slightly reddened earlobes.

"I'll have the sweetest cake in the shop, plus a hot coffee. Yukino, how about you feed me?"

Tenya clearly had no intention of letting go of the chance to tease her. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, audible to the surrounding customers.

Yukino's face instantly flushed crimson. She hadn't expected Tenya to make such a request in public. She frantically looked around, seeing curious glances from other customers, which made her even more embarrassed.

"You... don't go too far."

Her voice held a hint of annoyance, but it sounded soft and weak due to her shyness, lacking her usual authority.

"Yukino, you're a maid now. Isn't it only natural to serve customers?" Tenya retorted.

"...."

Upon hearing this, others immediately got a headache.

This maid cafe was just a cultural festival activity. If anyone dared to take it seriously and make unreasonable demands, they would definitely be scorned. Who would dare to act recklessly?

However, to their surprise, Yukino lowered her gaze and, after a moment, did not refute Tenya's words, but simply prepared the cake and coffee in silence.
