Maju's magic trick [Bonus 3]

Maju bowed as she finished her penultimate magic trick. Everyone at Ryokoma seemed to enjoy her act.

"I'm glad you were able to get our restaurant good performers," Masaru nodded.

"Heh? Magic impresses you? I can always wear a bunny suit like that anytime you want," Rika grinned.

"Rika!"

"Come on, I know you like seeing me dress up in sexy outfits."

"Are you alright about your family?"

"Yeah. It would have been nice if they could see eye to eye, but sadly they couldn't."

"Does this mean you're free from your burden?"

"Nino's now technically head of the family, and she disowned me, so guess that's a yes. Though as for the shadow organization my family's a part of, not so much. They don't take kindly to traitors, hell I probably have a bounty on my head."

"Is that why all those assassins have been coming after you?"

"Yeah, though I can defend myself. Plus, I've got some loyal patrons that will happily protect the place," Rika smirked as she glanced across the room.

Hanabi and Izumi happily ate French toast, Eluf sipped his tea, and Nero chugged a keg of a N.F.S.D. smoothie.

"Um, Ri-chan, er- is now a good time to tell him about the surprise?" Mimi nervously asked.

"What surprise?" Masaru asked.

"Um, well, we kind of renovated the theatre," Rika nervously chuckled.

"HUH!?"

"She wanted to make it a surprise," Matcha sighed.

"Well, a theatre section is bound to be a nice surprise," Benihime laughed.

"The builders were the ones who gave us the discount. Seems they've been coming here since we opened," Zuina stated.

"We also got a movie deal thanks to a patron. Don't worry, when Rika mentioned this, I made sure to have me look at the budget," Itsuki stated.

"Ugh, Rika why did you do something like that!?" Masaru groaned.

"Well, having a theatre would bring more life to the building. Now we can become more of a hangout spot than we already are. Oh! It's time for the big reveal!"

"And for my final magic trick, I'm going to add a theatre to this place. This is a one-time only act, so pay close attention!" Maju declared as she pointed her wand towards a wall on the second floor.

Suddenly, the fake wall fell down to reveal a pathway leading to a theatre section.

Patrons immediately rushed into the theatre as Maju took a bow.

"*Sigh* If patrons weren't happily rushing in, I would have been angrier," Masaru smiled.
