Chapter 266 Coupon
Cuique did not immediately respond to Mo He's sudden declaration.
She just took her napkin from the side and helped Mo He wipe his clothes and hair. After wiping off the water stains, she spoke:
"Why?"
Mo He also buried his face in the napkin for a while, wiped off the jelly and cream on his face, and then raised his head: "Because, Captain, you are a hero who has saved so many people, you should not be treated like this."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the way I am now." Delphinium said calmly.
"But..." Mo He obviously couldn't accept Cuiqiao's answer, but when she was about to continue speaking, she was interrupted by the waiter who came over.
Even though it didn't cause much commotion, the restaurant's waiters noticed that something seemed to be wrong with Mo He, so they rushed over with a series of cleaning tools.
She could only be surrounded by the waiters, hesitant to speak, but staring at Delphinium unwillingly, until the waiters cleaned all the stains on her body and even brought her a new parfait, and she was finally freed from the encirclement.
Mo He didn't touch the cup of parfait in front of her.
Her hands were placed on either side of the cup, her eyes still fixed on Delphinium.
"Let's talk on the way back."
However, Delphinium rejected her this time.
She tapped her spoon on the rim of the cup and raised her chin towards Buffy in front of Mo He. She said meaningfully, "Although I'm not sure what you're going to say next, I don't think it's appropriate to say in a restaurant."
Mo He clenched her empty hands slightly, but soon released them. The expression on her face remained unchanged from beginning to end, except that her eyes, which had been wide open, returned to their listless look.
"I see."
She said so.
In the remaining time, although both of them seemed to be concentrating on the desserts in front of them, they were actually absent-minded. Delphinium only ate the part other than the smoothie, and then gently put down the spoon in her hand; Mo He drank all the liquid in the cup calmly, and then ate the remaining jelly, fruit, and ice cream into his mouth like eating rice...
Then, when he heard the waiter announce the bill at the end of the meal, his face turned pale instantly, and he even had the idea of spitting out the food he had wasted and eating it again.
"Why is it so expensive?" Delphinium on the side was also a little surprised by the price, so she asked.
"As for this... Actually, the original cost of the meal is 1170 French. The rest is the cost of purchasing the Refrigeration Ball and the Flame Leaf Knife. You can check it out. It is lower than the market price."
The waiter explained carefully, "We are not blaming anyone, but the restaurant has corresponding regulations. If the equipment itself is not faulty, but the problem is caused deliberately by the guests during the meal, the cost of the equipment will be added... Of course, after all, the clothes of this guest just now were stained due to our negligence. I can consult the manager and give you some compensation."
The waiter's words did not make Mo He's face look better, but she did not sit there and wait for death. Instead, she reached out and took something out of her bag. After a while, she finally found a few crumpled and dirty pieces of paper from the pile of butter bread she had stuffed in before the meal. Perhaps because some of the bread was squeezed and torn, there was a lot of butter on the paper...
"……What's this?"
Not only was the waiter speechless after being shocked by the shocking scene, even Cuiqiao didn't understand what Mo He had taken out.
"You, coupon."
Mo He's voice also changed a little: "A friend gave it to me, and said I can use it if I come here to eat."
"Eh? But our restaurant shouldn't have given out any coupons recently."
The waiter was puzzled, but he could only force a smile on his face. He took the pieces of paper from Mo He, and after carefully identifying them, he bowed and said, "I'm sorry, this is indeed a coupon for our restaurant, but it was issued seven years ago and has expired for three years now..."
Mo He's complexion had become visibly paler, and his already pale face had turned somewhat blue.
Seeing this, Delphinium asked, "Isn't there enough money?"
"I bought too many things before... I didn't think I would need so much money for food."
Mo He lowered his head: "Yes, I'm sorry, Captain."
"...Is a thousand magic powers enough for you?" Cuique closed her eyes helplessly.
"I don't need that much. I still have a thousand." Mo He shook his head quickly.
"The rest can be considered as the travel expenses for the next two days." Kuija said calmly, stood up and paid the money to the waiter beside her.
These words made Mo He's shoulders tremble. He opened his mouth slightly but lost his voice completely.
In the end, the cost of this meal was reduced to 1,590 francs after the restaurant offered "compensation". Delphinium and Mo He left the door amid the manager's repeated apologies.
After leaving the restaurant, the two walked on the road. Mo He kept his head down, and because Mo He didn't speak, Cui Que simply opened her phone to check if there were any messages from her.
They walked to the parking lot, and seeing that Mo He still had no intention of speaking, Cui Que took the initiative to speak: "You can say what you wanted to say in the restaurant just now."
Mo He didn't react.
Cuique could only turn her eyes away from the phone screen and looked at Mo He strangely: "What's wrong, did you forget?"
"...No, I haven't forgotten."
Mo He denied it out loud: "I just, suddenly don't know how to say it."
"Suddenly?" Cuiqiao locked the phone screen.
"Because, what I originally wanted to say is that it's not right for the country to treat the captain like this."
Mo He stood in front of the parking lot door, her bangs covering her eyes. "Just because you refused the appointment of the Gem Scepter and affected the face of the royal court, you were exiled to the material world forever and were never allowed to enter the magic kingdom again... This kind of thing is too unfair to you."
"...So you knew about this." Delphinium opened her mouth slightly, revealing an expression that was a little bit surprised, but not too surprised: "This news is still confidential for the time being."
"Yes... Although only the top leaders and the sowers are spreading the news, I have asked someone to inquire about it."
Mo He grabbed the shoulder straps of the bag in front of his chest with both hands: "I, I also went to find the captain's teammates in the material world to confirm this matter."
"Who?" Delphinium was really curious now.
"It's Miss Sakura."
Mo He answered honestly: "She told me that it was true, but you didn't want to see anyone related to the magic kingdom again, so she didn't let me see you."
"When did it happen?"
"Fifteen years... or sixteen years ago?" Mo He was also a little uncertain.
“Hmm…I see.”
There was not much emotion in Delphinium's voice: "Then why do you seem not surprised at all that I'm here?"
"…Because the captain did nothing wrong. It is the country that is wrong in this matter." Mo He reiterated his point of view.
"Maybe I made some mistake when you didn't know." Delphinium reminded.
"No."
Only for this question, Mo He's response was particularly firm: "Captain, you will never do that."
During the conversation, the two of them had unknowingly walked in front of Mo He's car.
Looking at the stroller in front of her, Delphinium hesitated for a few seconds. Her emotions made her not want to sit on it, but in the end, the thought that "now is an opportunity to ask the other party some questions" prevailed along with her rationality.
"So? Why did you say something like 'suddenly I don't know how to express it' just now?" After opening the car door, Cuique sat in the seat and turned her head to look at Mo He.
Mo He pursed her lips, stared at the simple dashboard in front of her, pressed her finger on the fingerprint verifier beside her, and started her car.
"team leader."
She did not answer Delphinium's question immediately, but asked a question in return: "In your heart, are we still companions now?"
