Chapter 46:

Madoka got kidnapped

Spice of Life


Harumi awoke and gazed at the empty seat in front of her.

"Mm, hmm? MADOKA!? TURN AROUND AND BEGIN A SEARCH! MADOKA'S ESCAPED THE LIMO!" Harumi frantically ordered.

                                                                       ...

Back at the restaurant, Madoka wiped her lips before attempting to carry all the boxes of excess crepes with her.

"We apologize, but we only had enough stock to make 30 to-go in addition to the 20 you ate," Rika nervously smiled.

"Well, that's alright. I'll comeback tomorrow when there's more," Madoka smiled.

"Uh, we don't restock THAT quickly."

As Madoka stepped outside with her boxes of crepes, she suddenly vanished along with some of her crepe boxes as a black sedan sped by.

Everyone blinked in disbelief as Rika stepped outside.

"Uh, I'm just gonna go for a jog," Rika nervously smiled as she sped off after the sedan.

"That WAS one of the sedans that came with them, right?" Mimi nervously asked.

"You're not suggesting she got kidnapped!?" Matcha gasped.

"It is common for nobles to get kidnapped," Benihime stated.

"We're all just too tired, I hope," Masaru nervously muttered.

"Rika's probably just flaggin em down to check. She should be back any second," Waki nervously smiled.

                                                                              ...

"She hasn't come back yet," Itsuki groaned.

"Hold on, I think I see something coming," Zuina stated.

A limousine immediately pulled up and a frantic Harumi emerged along with some servants.

"Is Madoka here!?" she shouted.

"She was, but when she was leaving with a bunch of crepes, one of your black sedans sped by and picked her up," Itsuki explained.

Harumi immediately noticed some of the crepe boxes on the ground and let out a worried sigh.

"Then it's likely she was kidnapped," Harumi groaned.

                                                                           ...

"MMPH MMMPH!" Madoka tearfully protested as she was bound and gagged to a pole in an abandoned warehouse and forced to watch her captors devour her crepes.

"Buwahahahaha! This shit's not half bad!" Jester sneered as he ate the crepes whole.

"So boss, what are we gonna do with the Ginkawa girl?" a ninja asked.

"Kill her, duh."

"Kiil!? But I thought Illumous wanted her alive?"

"Just one faction. I'm head of the wipe the Ginkawas off the face of existence faction!"

"I thought Ookuma was."

"Screw him! He's just trying to fluff himself up so they don't boot him from the council. Oni-chan told me his daughter's probably gonna boot him so he's just tryin to save his ass with some last minute clout.

"So uh, how are we gonna kill her?"

"Like THIS!" Jester laughed as he pulled out a gun with a silencer and fired it at the pole Madaoka was retrained too.

Jester simply laughed and devoured more crepes as his ninjas stared in disbelief at the pole.

"Uh boss?" a ninja nervously said.

"WHAT!? I'm reveling in victory!" Jester glared as he stuffed his face like a chipmunk.

"Uh, she's gone."

Jester's eyes went wide as he noticed the bullet that had gone into the empty pole where Madoka should have been. He immediately spit out his food in disbelief.

"AH! SHE ESCAPED! Heh," Jester maliciously smiled.

                                                                               ...

"Wow, that was easier than I thought," Madoka thought as she snuck outside the warehouse.

There was only one lazy guard snoozing in front of the gate. Suddenly, Rika ran up and leaped into the warehouses' second floor window from the ground.

"Why's she here!?" Madoka thought.

                                                                              ...

Jester's smug smile turned to a screaming face of shock as Rika landed in front of him.

"WHERE'S THE GIRL!?" Rika glared as she pointed her knife towards Jester.

"Ha- Ha- HANNYA!" Jester cried in terror as his ninjas pounced on Rika.

Had Rika been in top condition, she would have won this bout easily, however, the exhaustion from cooking earlier took it's toll and Rika took a few hits. Most notably, a gash to the stomach.

"GAH!" Rika cried as she coughed up blood and clutched her stomach.

"Buwahahahaha! Not so tough now!" Jester laughed as a ninja prepared to deliver the finishing blow.

Suddenly Rika vanished. Everyone looked around and spotted Madoka struggling to hold Rika by the entrance.

"MADOKA! So you returned! Guess your escape was ruined," Jester taunted as he appeared in front of them.

"You idiot! Why'd you come after me!?" Madoka tearfully glared.

"Uh, YOU GOT KIDNAPPED!" Rika glared.

"So!? I get kidnapped daily, but always escape!"

"HUH!?

As Madoka turned to run, Rika suddenly grabbed Jester by his top knot and hurled him towards the entrance gate.

"Huh? HUH! I'M-"

Jester face planted in the ground as Madoka immediately froze.

"Huh, I'm alright!" Jester laughed as he stood up and accidentally stepped on a landmine he had hidden sending him blasting into the sky.

"BOSS!" the ninjas all yelled as they charged out and triggered the mine field trap Jester had set as a fail safe against Madoka.

"[FUCK YOU] MADOKA!" Jester yelled as he and his ninjas blasted off into the sky.

Madoka then focused and managed to avoid any remaining mines and escaped the warehouse with Rika.

"You can put me down, I can walk," Rika glared.

"I'm mad! You arriving messed everything up!" Madoka shouted.

"The hell!?"

"I'm an expert at escaping. I would have escaped just fine if YOU didn't show up!"

"Uh, you would have blown up in that hidden mine field if I didn't thrown that clown into it."

"I have a danger sense! I could easily maneuver the mine field!"

"Not if you were carrying me. Especially with that gash on your arm," Rika glared as she pointed to a gash Madoka had received when she saved Rika.

"I got this because YOU needed to be saved! YOU would have died if I wasn't there!"

"I could still escape!"

The two continued to bicker all the way back to the restaurant. When they arrived, Madoka immediately froze as she noticed an angry Harumi sitting at a table.

"Oh hi momma. I escaped," Madoka nervously smiled.

Harumi immediately grabbed Madoka, laid her across her lap, and spanked her.

"YEOOOOW!"

"THAT'S for just running off," Harumi glared.

She then sat Madoka up like a baby and handed her a large glass of milk. As Madoka chugged it, the gash on her hand began to heal much to the restaurant staff's amazement.

"Guess you weren't kidding about the milk," Rika grimaced as she clutched her stomach.

"Did you get hurt trying to save her!? My greatest apologies," Harumi bowed.

"It's fine- GEH,"

"IT'S NOT FINE!" everyone shouted.

"Since this is my fault for neglecting to watch my daughter, I'll take you to a doctor and handle the medical fees," Harumi stated as she signaled for her servants to load Rika in one of the sedans.

Rika naturally protested, but shut up and pouted once she was strapped in. Harumi then began dragging Madoka out, but was stopped by Mimi.

"Some of these were on the ground, but the crepes inside are still good. I also kept a spare in the fridge just in case," Mimi smiled as she held 5 boxes of crepes.

"Very well. These will probably placate her and keep her from running off," Harumi smiled.

"Sorry I didn't chase after her though. I thought Ri-chan could handle it."

"Oh no, you made the right judgement call. Madoka's actually an expert in escapology. Ever since she was first kidnapped at age 3, she's had a perfect track record of escaping all her captors. Though she usually does it alone. She doesn't like others getting dragged in with her."

Everyone in the restaurant nodded nervously as Harumi and Madoka got into the limousine with the crepes.

"Don't worry, I'll have my servants drop Rika back off once she's done," Harumi smiled as the Ginkawa motorcade drove off.

"Benihime, it seems you'll be busy with supply runs," Matcha grumbled.

"Yes, a noblewoman's work is never so easy," Benihime sighed.
