“I see. No wonder you, sir, wanted to grant me supernatural power and make me a supernatural being.”
Hearing the waiter’s words and knowing that he had taken the bait, the smile on Maka’s face grew even brighter. So, she seized the opportunity to continue speaking.
“So, what do you think? Now that you know my reason for wanting to make you a supernatural being, can you answer my earlier question? Do you want to become one or not?”
Hearing Maka’s question, the waiter lowered his head to think it over. It didn’t take long for him to make up his mind. He lifted his head and replied to Maka.
“Sir, I really do want to obtain supernatural power and become a supernatural being. But as far as I know, the current methods to become one are unusually dangerous. So, sir, can you guarantee that your method can avoid these unnecessary risks and let me become a supernatural being safely?”
Upon hearing this, Maka quickly responded to the waiter.
“Don’t worry, my friend. My method is very safe. You can easily become a One-Star Supernatural Being without taking any risks at all.”
“Really? Is there really a method in this world that guarantees someone will become a supernatural being one hundred percent?”
“Of course. If we didn’t have such useful methods, how could humanity have developed to where it is today?”
Hearing Maka’s answer, the waiter, who still found it hard to believe, pressed on.
“Sir, you can certainly make your words sound very nice, but how can I be sure you’re not trying to trick me?”
Upon hearing this, a look of regret immediately appeared on Maka’s face. She looked at the waiter and said,
“My friend, saying things like that clearly shows you still suspect I mean you harm. If that’s the case, then I have nothing more to say. Goodbye.”
Having said that, Maka turned and started walking toward the exit of the bar.
Seeing this, the waiter was momentarily stunned. After a brief, intense internal struggle, remembering all the humiliation he had suffered from wealthy people in the past because he had no background or power, he hesitated no longer. He quickly stepped past Maka, got in front of her, and blocked her path.
“Sir, please wait a moment.”
Looking at the waiter who had stepped out from behind her to block her way, Maka knew he would take the bait because of her departure, and she couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
Then, maintaining a blank expression, she asked the waiter in front of her,
“My friend, what’s the meaning of blocking my path?”
Hearing this, aware of the gap between them, the waiter quickly bent over and sincerely apologized to Maka.
“I’m sorry, sir. It was presumptuous of me earlier. I shouldn’t have doubted that you meant me harm. I’m truly sorry.”
Looking at the waiter bowing before her in apology, Maka knew her plan for visiting the bar today had succeeded. She replied to him,
“Since you, my friend, have sincerely apologized to me, as a friend, I certainly can’t not forgive you.”
“Thank you for your magnanimity, sir.”
Having gained Maka’s forgiveness, the waiter spoke these words with a grateful tone.
After saying this and pausing briefly, the waiter lifted his head, looked at Maka before him, and asked carefully,
“Sir, now that I’ve apologized, will you still grant me supernatural power and make me a supernatural being, like you said before?”
“Of course.”
Hearing the waiter’s question, Maka, who had previously pretended to leave the bar precisely to force him into a quick decision, looked at him and answered without hesitation, then added,
“After all, I am your friend. As a friend, how could I possibly go back on my word?”
Hearing Maka’s reply, the waiter, who had thought she might change her mind, felt a wave of relief inside, and a joyful expression appeared on his face.
“Thank you, sir. I swear, no matter what happens in the future, if you just say the word, I’ll go through fire and water for you. I will definitely do my absolute best to help you.”
Hearing the solemn promise the waiter made to her, a satisfied smile appeared on Maka’s face. She continued,
“Alright, enough of that. Time is precious. I’ll make you a supernatural being right here, right now.”
Hearing Maka say this, a surprised look appeared on the waiter’s face. He glanced around at the others in the bar, who were completely ignoring him and Maka, and then said,
“Making me a supernatural being right here? Sir, is that really okay?”
Knowing what the waiter was worried about, Maka replied to him,
“Don’t worry. I’ve already released my own supernatural power. The people in the bar won’t notice anything unusual happening over here.”
“Oh, that’s good to hear.”
Hearing Maka’s explanation, the waiter, who had been a bit worried, immediately relaxed.
Watching Maka standing in front of him, who was now pulling something out from her belongings, and knowing she was about to grant him supernatural power, the waiter began to feel eager and excited.
At the same time, he kept praying inwardly, hoping that the supernatural power Maka would give him wouldn’t be too weak, so he could have the means to live freely and comfortably in this world.
“Alright, eat this, and you’ll become a supernatural being.”
Pulling out a red crystal from her belongings, Maka handed it to the waiter and told him to swallow it.
Hearing Maka say that all he had to do was eat the red crystal in her hand to gain supernatural power and become a supernatural being,
The waiter’s face first showed surprise, then an expression of excitement.
Immediately after, he reached out his hand and took the red crystal from Maka.
Then, he opened his mouth and, in one go, ate the red crystal – which was actually the demonic beast crystal remnant left after the death of an Abyssal Demon Beast.
“Hmm, have I gained supernatural power yet? Why does it feel no different from before?”
Having just swallowed the demonic beast crystal, the waiter was eager to know what supernatural power he had obtained. He began trying to sense the supernatural power within him, following the knowledge he had learned online.
Then, the waiter discovered that there was simply no supernatural power inside his body; there wasn’t much difference from before.
Just as the waiter was getting confused about not being able to sense any supernatural power, a powerful surge of heat suddenly erupted from his abdomen and began spreading outwards towards his limbs.
