The dark night is when all living things are sleeping, and when they are sleeping, that is when the nocturnal people work.
Alexis looked at her watch and saw that it was already 11:00 p.m.
She couldn't believe that she was at the cat cafe this late at night, the problem was that when she received Ved's message, it said that he had assigned her the task at midnight at the cat cafe.
After the cafe was empty, the employees started their cleaning work, Alexis sat watching the employees work and wondered.
"Why don't you guys use magic? Aren't you guys wizards?"- Alexis
"Why do you need to use magic for such small things? It's not a big deal."- Megan
"Besides, we wizards have rules that restrict the use of magic."- Jenna
"Like in some famous wizard movie?"- Alexis
"You could say it's the same, but our rules are much more relaxed."- The ghost employee named Austin said
"For example, using magic in front of other people, it's not really in front of them. Use it secretly, and if someone happens to see it, we have a way to deal with it. As long as it doesn't take too long, it'll be fine, otherwise it'll be troublesome."
"So that's how it is."- Alexis
"This is the last one for the day. Alright, let's go."- Megan
"Come on, kittens, let's go." "Come on"
Hearing the applause of the staff, the cats gathered together and lined up in a straight line. This cafe had three floors and the cats from the top down also lined up. This was the first time Alexis saw such obedient cats. Normally, they were like normal cats that did not listen to anyone's orders. However, when the customers left, they listened to the staff here.
A cat immediately stood up on its two legs, causing Alexis to open her eyes wide in surprise. Then the other customer cats followed suit. They stood up on their two legs and not only that, they also acted like normal people.
"What the..."-Alexis
"It's your turn to work, remember not to bother the guests with your instincts"- Jenna
"You act like we're trouble"- The black cat with the name Kuro on its collar said in an annoyed tone
"Isn't that right? Just last week you attacked a guest just because he accidentally stepped on the floor you just mopped?"- Austin
"Do you know how hard it was for me to mop the floor with these hands?" Kuro
The black cat immediately held out his hands or rather his front paws, the pink insteps looked very cute.
"Oh come on, don't be like that, didn't you make me work hard to clean up your shit and pee the next day?"- Austin
"It hurts my pride!"- Kuro
"Enough talking, you guys should go to work. Let's go out, Alexis"- Megan
With that, Megan pulled Alexis's hand and walked out of the cafe, leaving the cats dressed as butlers and maids to go to work.
After leaving the cafe, Alexis was still surprised and pointed inside the cafe where just in the morning, humans worked, but now at night, cats work.
"What was that just now?"- Alexis
"They're called witch cats, it sounds a bit simple but I don't care. They're cats that are selected to be the minions of witches. The cat cafe outside is a normal cafe, hidden deep inside is a place where the cats will wait for witches to come and buy them"- Austin
"Sounds like a business"- Alexis
"For witches, this is legal"- Austin
"Really?!"- Alexis was surprised
"They are cats, not people, human trafficking or any species that has that influence is illegal"- Austin
"Our car is here"- Jenna
From the darkness, under the street lights, a black limousine pulled up and stopped right in front of the cafe, on which was a picture of a cat and it moved as if it was alive. The car door opened and Austin extended his hand towards the door.
"Ladies, please come in first"- Austin
Megan and Jenna went in first, then Alexis went in last, Austin went in after to close the door. Inside the car, it looked quite big from the outside, but the space inside was even twice as big as the outside, the interior decoration was modern mixed with a bit of magic.
The car started moving, and it was also covered with magic on the outside, causing the long limousine's shape to change into a small-sized car. It seemed that no one outside had noticed this abnormality.
"So where are we going?"- Alexis
"To resolve the problem that often occurs, although this is the task of the people at the Supreme Council, they don't care much about these small conflicts"- Jenna
"What exactly is the conflict?"- Alexis
"Territorial disputes between vampires and werewolves, of course"- Megan
Hearing about vampires and werewolves made Alexis shiver slightly, because these two creatures she had encountered before and almost killed her. Her two hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her pants to restrain her excitement.
"What is our mission? It's definitely not to jump in between the two forces, right?"- Alexis
"That's the country's Council, so it deals with issues that affect the country, but this is the work of the Witch Council, which is a personal matter. If they keep on fighting like this, it will affect the witches, and it will be very troublesome."- Austin
"Okay, I understand things like solving territorial conflicts, but why am I going along?"- Alexis
"We wanted to entrust someone from the tarot reader, but it seems that we're short of people, so Ved sent you."- Austin
"What?! But what can I do?! I'm still a rookie!"- Alexis panicked
"It's okay, we'll just stand back and watch. If it's a small conflict, we'll get a free ticket to watch the action."- Megan
"What if it's a big conflict?"- Alexis
"Then we'll rush out and stop them"- Megan
Hearing these people speak so calmly made her a little scared, she didn't know if she should regret accepting the mission or not?
It was too late to regret now, when the car stopped in front of an empty lot, this place currently had no construction projects but carried an indescribable gloomy feeling. There was nothing here but an empty lot of overgrown weeds.
Alexis looked around but saw no one but them.
"Oh, because according to the law, supernatural things are not allowed to appear, so..."- Megan
"We'll go another way"- Austin
Jenna took out a book from her bag that looked like a normal history book, she opened the book.
"Sorry, I don't remember this very often so I have to use the book"- Jenna smiled awkwardly
"Jenna is new here so I hope you can understand"- Megan
"It's okay, I'm new too so I don't have any opinions"- Alexis
The book in Jenna's hand floated in the air, she started to chant a spell in a language that Alexis didn't understand.
Then everything around her started to change, the whole land gradually turned into a completely different scene, in front of them was no longer an empty land but a vast land. The sky had two moons, blue and red, Alexis opened her eyes wide in amazement looking at the surrounding scenery.
"Welcome to the parallel world, or the twisted world you call it"- Jenna
"Is it called a parallel world?"- Alexis
"Everything looks so ruined, but there is a reason for it. You see, the world we live in looks very peaceful, but behind that, there are supernatural forces that exist and infiltrate human life. So to keep the balance of the world, the creators created a world similar to that but it is more destructive because there are supernatural forces that destroy too much"- Austin
"But if there is some supernatural phenomenon that escapes from this parallel world, there are organizations that are established to chase those forces back to this world"- Megan
"It's like an exorcism, right?"- Alexis
"It's like that, but not in the traditional way. It's more physical "Okay"- Austin
Suddenly in the distance, there was a loud explosion that attracted everyone's attention, two black figures were rushing in to fight each other, creating a huge commotion. Those two people were fighting very fiercely, neither of them wanted to lose so they fought passionately without paying attention to their surroundings.
Alexis tried to keep herself from being blown away, while the other three seemed to be still standing, their faces showing excitement as if they were watching entertainment.
"Looks like it's starting, huh? Let's go check it out."- Megan
"Wait, isn't it a bit dangerous to get close?"- Alexis
"Don't be silly, we're here to observe, so let's observe properly!"- Megan
Austin then carried Alexis like a sack in front of the girl's surprise, then followed the two witches.
