Chapter 62:

Madoka's kidnapping

Spice of life [Remake]


"MMPH MMMPH!" Madoka tearfully protested as she sat bound and gagged in the backseat of a sedan.

"Wow, this shit's delish!" a woman with blue hair gawked as she shoveled down the crepes.

"Murasaki, don't you dare eat all that sugar!" a man wearing an ascot cap glared.

"Relax Mamoru, I'm not a kid, I can handle a ton of sugar now that I'm an adult."

Suddenly, the car came to a halt as Rika slammed down on the hood of the car with her knife drawn.

"Ha- Ha- HANNYA!" the kidnappers cried in terror.

Mamoru attempted to step on the gas, but the car didn't move.

"I slashed the tires, now get out," Rika glared.

Mamoru clicked his tongue and immediately drew a gun and pointed it behind him. "Make ONE move and the girl gets it!" he desperately shouted.

Rika shot Mamoru an odd glare before punching the windshield into the kidnappers' faces. The two screamed as glass flew into them, however, Mamoru managed to fire off a few rounds.

"HA! YOU THOUGHT I WAS BLUFFING!? WELL NOW THAT BRAT IS DEAD! WE CAN STILL GET A BOUNTY EVEN THOUGH SHE'S DEAD!" Mamoru maniacally laughed.

"Huh? What do you mean? There's no one in the back seat," Rika glared.

"I- HUH!?" Mamoru went pale as he turned around and noticed there was no sign of Madoka in the back seat. "How did she esca- uh, I mean, wow. G- guess there was never any kidnapping in the first place," Mamoru nervously laughed as he attempted to fire his empty gun at Rika.

Rika rolled her eyes before effortlessly confiscating the empty gun from him and slamming it into his face, knocking him out. She then made sure Murasaki was knocked out, before looking for Madoka. To her surprise, she found Madoka standing perfectly fine, with the exception of a few minor scrapes, on the sidewalk.

"Well not bad. Guess they did a sloppy job of confining you," Rika grinned as she dragged the unconscious and beaten kidnappers out of the car.

"Sorry about all this," Madoka mumbled.

"*Sigh* Well you're lucky these two were fodder. I'm pretty exhausted from all the cooking I did," Rika sighed.

"Sorry, but I just really wanted to eat more of your crepes."

"Well I'm glad you liked them. Feel free to stop by and have some more anytime.

"Really!?"

"Yeah. Perhaps we'll even dub you the crepe goddess of Ryokoma.

"I like that! Now I want more crepes!"

"Well, we'll need to go on a supply run, but once we're restocked, feel free to order away. I'll even come up with some new crepe flavors just for you.

"YAY!"

...

As the two arrived back at the restaurant, Madoka immediately froze as she noticed an angry Harumi sitting at a table. "And care to explain what happened, Madoka?" Harumi angrily smiled.

"Oh hi momma. I got kidnapped, but Rika saved me," 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 scrapes on her arms began to heal much to the restaurant staff's amazement.

"Guess you weren't kidding about the milk," Rika nodded as she chucked the beaten kidnappers to Harumi's bodyguards.

"I take it those two are the perpetrators. Well we'll make sure to give them hell. Thank you for all that you've done, Miss Komachi," Harumi bowed.

"No worries. I even told her she could come back for more crepes. You're also welcome to come back for dinner."

"I shall take you up on that offer, though rest assured, I won't order the entire menu or force you to close down early when I come again," Harumi smiled as Mimi approached her carrying 5 to-go boxes.

"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 as she and Madoka headed for the limousine with the crepes in tow.

"Hime-chan, it seems you'll be busy with supply runs," Rika grinned.

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