A Bar In An Alternate World: Pick Up A Young Witch - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Cute Skeleton Maid

The wind chimes at the entrance rang. Lin Ge’s gaze shifted to the door, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He couldn’t wait to use his newly learned magic to make drinks for his customers.

Come, no matter what creature entered, he would make the best wine for it.

However, the customer who came in was once again out of Lin Ge’s expectations. Even though he had mentally prepared himself in advance, he couldn’t help but reveal a shocked expression.

The customer who walked into the shop was wearing a black-and-white maid costume. The edge of the black skirt was surrounded by white lace, and under the skirt were white and slender bones!

White bones without a trace of flesh and blood.

The slender legs were wearing a pair of brand new, shiny black maid shoes.

Slender arm bones stretched out from the sleeve of the shirt. At the end of the arms were a pair of small and exquisite hand bones that were holding a broom.

A slightly curved neck bone stretched out of the upright black round collar, and on top of it was a white skull. On the top of the jade-like round skull was a black maid’s hat decorated with bright red ribbons.

Was this a skeleton maid?

Lin Ge was dumbfounded.

Seeing Lin Ge’s expression, Lanya turned around curiously.

When she saw the petite skeleton in a maid’s uniform, she jumped down from her chair, her eyes shining, and exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, what a cute skeleton maid! I want to sign a soul contract with her!”

Lin Ge was very curious. How could Lanya tell if a skeleton was cute or not? Besides, wasn’t it a necromancer’s behavior to sign a soul contract with undead creatures?

That being said, upon closer inspection, the bones of the skeleton were very white and clean. The skull, in particular, was as exquisite as a piece of art. It would not be a problem to put it on display in a museum.

Moreover, its body proportions were also very harmonious. After looking at it a few more times, the skeleton did not seem that scary anymore.

Coupled with the exquisitely-made maid costume, she did look inexplicably cute.

Just a little “thinly veiled”…

The cute skeleton maid was obviously frightened by Lanya’s enthusiasm. She lowered her head shyly, her upper and lower jaw slightly moving, which caused her two rows of white teeth to clatter and make a clicking sound.

Lin Ge actually understood what she was saying.

“I’m sorry, I’m already a maid of Lady Alway’s family. I can’t sign any contract with you.” Lanya immediately looked disappointed. Elise was the calmest as if she was serving an ordinary customer. She simply walked up and said, “Welcome to the Emeralds bar. What kind of drink would you like? Do you want to try the new cocktails? The bartender over there with his eyes wide open like a frog might look stupid, but his bartending skills are not bad. He won’t let you down.”

The skeleton maid seemed to be a little nervous. She held the broom in her hand tightly, and her two rows of teeth started to tremble again.

“Why is your shop in Lady Alway’s castle? I just wanted to come in and clean up. I should have opened the storage room door.” Elise explained with a smile, “This shop isn’t located in your master’s castle. The door you opened has been connected to the magic door and thus has become one of the exits of this shop.”

Elise pointed at the wooden door behind the maid.

“Then can I still go back?” The skeleton maid asked in fear.

“Of course. As long as you open the door, you will be able to return to the castle you are familiar with. But do you really not need a drink?”

“No, no thank you. Even if I drink, it will all leak out. Besides, I still have a lot of work to do.”

“Then do come for another drink next time.”

“This…” The skeleton maid scratched her skull with her finger bones as if she was in a dilemma.

At this moment, the door of the shop was suddenly kicked open violently. A sexy headless knight in black armor, surrounded by black flames, barged in with the head of a man who seemed to have experienced many vicissitudes of life.

“I’m here to retrieve my sword!”

The man immediately saw the black broadsword hanging on the wall.

“Ah, my sword.”

Elise stopped the headless knight who was trying to retrieve his broadsword.

“This brainless customer, please don’t kick the door, and don’t try to take anything from the shop, or I’ll throw you out again.”

“The things in your shop? That’s obviously my dark flame broadsword!”

“It’s now a decoration of our shop,” Elise said with a smile.

The man’s head frowned. After thinking for a moment, he abruptly said, “I understand. It seems that I can only take back my sword by defeating you.”

The headless knight threw the man’s head into the air, but the head did not fall to the ground.

Instead, it floated under the hanging lamp of the bar and looked down at Elise.

The body that remained on the ground raised its hands and bowed slightly, in a battle-ready posture.

“Come, use your powerful fists to fight me. I will not give up until I defeat you,” The man floating in the air said excitedly. “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you making a move? Come on, hit me hard, no, fight me!” The headless knight took a step forward and opened his arms as if he was welcoming Elise’s attack. Elise revealed an expression as if she was looking at a pervert, and she took a step back with disgust.

“If you’re not going to make a move, then I’ll make the first move!”

The headless knight suddenly extended his right hand. His palm was covered in pitch-black flames as he struck Elise’s chest. Lin Ge only saw Elise’s right leg move a little, and the headless knight’s sexy body was sent flying out of the door.

Before the headless body hit the door, the door of the bar opened automatically, and the knight flew straight out. Then, there was a loud bang outside the door, seemingly the sound of a wall breaking. The man’s head floating under the light seemed to have lost its support and fell to the ground, rolling under the skeleton maid’s skirt. “Huhu… This feeling is really great, really great!” The head was panting, his face red with excitement as if some secret needs had been greatly satisfied.

“Lady Alway, you…” The skeleton maid looked down at the head and hesitated. “Oh, it’s Carnie. It’s great that you’re here.

Take me away from here. I can’t move my body for the time being.”

“Y-yes, Lady Alway!” The skeleton maid called Carnie immediately threw away the broom in her hand, picked up the man’s head, and ran out of the door.

“I’ll come back to challenge you again!” The man’s voice came from outside the door. Elise’s eyes twitched. Although she had thrown the troublemaker out, she was not happy at all. Instead, she thought in a daze, “My power has been defiled…”

A fierce expression suddenly appeared on her face as she clenched her fists and her knuckles cracked.

“If he comes again, I’ll blow up his body so that he can never appear in front of me again!” Lanya was still thinking about the petite skeleton in a maid’s uniform. She looked at the door with a disappointed expression and whispered, “Will that cute skeleton maid come again?”

Lin Ge, on the other hand, was thinking, “Can I have a normal customer? Even if the other party is not human, they should at least be able to taste the wine I made. I don’t want any more skeletons or headless knights!” After the door was closed, the store quickly returned to its usual calm.

Lin Ge wiped the glasses and looked at the door of the bar from time to time, waiting for new customers to arrive.

Lanya lay on the bar counter, listening to the music in the shop while shaking her legs leisurely. Suddenly, she said, “That bad red-haired woman hasn’t appeared for two days. I wonder what she’s doing.” Lin Ge said, “I hope she’s ashamed of what she’s done and is reflecting on herself. She should be too embarrassed to be here.” Elise’s voice came from her table, “Well, you’re underestimating her. That woman doesn’t know what shame is, just like that headless pervert.

11 Lin Ge had long been curious about the headless knight’s true gender. Hearing Elise mention it, he took the opportunity to ask, “Is the headless knight a man or a woman? Why does the body look like a woman, but it’s carrying a man’s head?”

Elise gritted her teeth, and her fist became hard again.

“I don’t want to discuss anything about that pervert.”

She suddenly stood up and walked into the resting room.

Only Lin Ge and Lanya were left in the hall.

“I know,” Lanya blinked and suddenly said.

“You do?”

they “The headless knights are elites among the specters. They have powerful souls when were alive and their souls do not disperse even after death. As long as their souls are not completely destroyed, they will not welcome true death.”

“Hence, the headless knights would hide their souls in their original heads and hide the head in a secret place that would not be discovered They would never show their true by anyone.

faces.”

“In other words, that headless knight’s head isn’t his real head?” Lin Ge muttered. “Of course not. He only separated a wisp of his soul and stored it in that head, acting as the eyes and ears of that body.”

“What about the body?”

Lin Ge poured a glass of water for Lanya. She took a sip and continued, “Generally speaking, headless knights will not give up their original bodies so easily. This is because their original bodies contain memories of battle from when they were alive. Their original bodies are thus the most convenient to control, as well as allow them to unleash more power. If they were to control the bodies of other living creatures, even if the unfamiliar body was much stronger, it might not be as good as their original body.”

“So that knight is a woman?”

“I think so. The headless knights had been knights when they were alive, after all. They value dignity and glory. If he was a man, he would not show up before others in a female body.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen a female headless knight. She took great care of her body, and her skin is even more beautiful than a living person’s. The headless knights that I’ve seen before had their bodies rotted to a certain extent. Some of them even had only their skeletons left.”

After listening patiently, Lin Ge nodded slightly and suddenly asked, “Lanya, you seem to know a lot about specter creatures?”

Lanya suddenly covered her mouth.

Oh no, she accidentally said too much. Seeing Lanya’s reaction, Lin Ge could not help but laugh.

She had said before that she could see his soul.

At that time, he didn’t know what it meant, but when he was reading the magic book last night, he happened to see the description of a special group related to the specters. Combined with her performance today, he could confirm her identity.

“Lanya, you’re actually a necromancer, right?”
