'What's going on?' I thought after waking up from some noises coming from down stairs. At least I know it isn't a customer but most likely the kids as I closed the bar in order to figure out what to do with the kids. I'm sure they're just doing kid things, it'll be fine as long as they don't break anything.
I then got out of bed and walked down the stairs to check on them in order to contain whatever mess I'm sure they made. Halfway down I saw what they were doing and realized I was right about what they were doing.
They had apparently all woken up and put all the chairs and tables together in the corner of the room. then put all their blankets on top of them and made walls out of pillows to surround it. They made a big pillow fort, why, who knows?
At first I couldn't see any of them but as I got closer to the fort to inspect it I started to hear whispering which only confirmed my suspicions that they were inside it. Honestly I don't know how they think they haven't been heard, kids will be kids.
I was about to lift the blanket off to surprise them but then I suddenly heard a loud meow which was followed by laughter and a lot of movement under the covers. After that I decided to not bother them, besides i don't think I'm that good with children.
I then went in the kitchen to quickly make breakfast with was just some scrambled eggs with bacon along with pancakes with syrup. I don't think pancakes have been invented yet but they're kids so they won't know that, I hope.
While they were in their fort i quickly made a long table and put the food on it and made their chairs. I made the table and chairs a lot smaller as last time they they could barely reach on the table to reach their food. Good thing that my body is that of a adult and not a child.
If I was a child no one would want to come to the tavern. I could've been kidnapped or tossed into the streets like them. I don't even know why nobody helps them when they sit there in rags asking for food. If I was a normal person I would've adopted them and pinched their chubby cheeks. Well they are starved so they don't exactly have chubby cheeks but still.
Maybe I should just turn this place into a orphanage and be surrounded by cute and grateful kids. No, I can't be swayed on my career path I've already gone this far so there's no turning path no matter how much I want to.
Once I had all the food laid out I used magic to make the food stay hot that way they could do whatever they want without it getting cold. I then left a note saying that I would be out and not to worry. Once I was outside I locked all the doors and magically blurred the windows so people could look inside at the kids.
I was going to simply buy anything that caught my eye which was also good practice to get used to those bustling crowds. Along with the practice I need to learn if something is overpriced or not cause even if I have a infinite amount of money I don't want people to think I'm some rich person dressing as a commoner and possibly get kidnapped.
Even worse I could get a reputation for being easily fooled and have people raise prices when I'm around leading to a even bigger mess. Not like I could handle it or fight off a few people but still, I don't want. I would feel uncomfortable just learn about how blood pumps through your body in science so no fighting for me.
To start my lesson I first looked at all the stall's prices and then counted how many people visited each. If two stalls both sold apples and one had more than the other then that one must have better prices. It wasn't a very impressive use of my observation skills but it worked and I think I know the good prices.
After I got all my new food I then went back to the tavern and unlocked the door. I would have stayed out and look around some more but I need to check on the kid to make sure they didn't die while I was gone. Of course I am kidding cause I haven't even been gone long so they couldn't hurt themselves that quickly.
As I walked inside the first thing I noticed the color, the walls, floor and even the ceiling all had some red liquid on them. You would have thought a psychopath came and murdered a bunch of people which I thought that was what actually happened until I saw the other things. Lettuce ,smushed apples, and pieces of potato covered the flood.
Then to the left and right all the chairs and tables were lined up to make a wall which were stained with food. The last think that made it all click together was the yelling and laughing of children with blurs of red, green, and other colors flying through the air toward the other side.
They were having a food fight, a real food fight like the ones that I saw on tv a few times before. I thought that they were supposed to be shy kids who wouldn't act up from fear of being abandoned. Not that I don't want them to act like normal children but why start a food fight of all things?
Wait, how did they even get their hands on all this food? Oh I remember now, if someone came in I didn't want them to notice that I had no ingredients so I made a few barrels of random stuff and put them in the basement. Since they sleep down there they must have found them.
Just as I was about to try and calm the situation a fast blur of blue came flying at my face which was already scary. Even more so due to their beings no blue fruit which made me think it was covered in some mold.
Once it hit my face it felt like nails were piercing my skin and when I ripped it off my face I realized it was my cat. She must have been scared and was shaking which saddened my heart. Something interesting was that despite all that happened her fur was soft and clean making her look like cat royalty.
Now how to put a end to this I thought while thinking if I was better at yelling and not being social awkward it would be east to end this entire mess. I just wish that they would go back to bed so I could clean this place up, wait no!
Just like that the kids who were playing suddenly vanished in front of my eyes they didn't even disintegrate of get swallowed up by a magic portal or something like that, they just disappeared without even a noise.
Just then i head a lot of voices coming from down stairs following by multiple foot steps until finally around five kids at once tried to pop their heads out of the trapdoor all at once which didn't really work. All their faces were filled with surprise and wonder while they scanned the room that they had been teleported from.
When they saw me and just started staring at me I knew something was about to happen, I didn't know what it would be but I knew I wouldn't like it. "Did you do that sir!" I don't know what your talking about, I just came back from getting food that's all." "No, that's a lie I know it is cause you look like someone who got caught trying to take the baker's bread."
How did they know! Are my facial expressions that obvious? "Again." "Huh? What did you say?" "Do it again, make us all go to another place again!" Before I could reject them a lot of cheering came downstairs from the other kids who had yet to get past the five kids still blocking their exit.
"I already told you that I can't do that." "Well we already know you can and you have to cause if you don't we will… uh." Just then they suddenly stopped talking to me and began to look down the hatch while whispering about something. It was obvious that they were thinking of what they would do to make me teleport them which was kind of cute.
It was then that I decided that I would teleport them a few times, it's not like anything bad would happen. I can control were they are teleported to and they already know that I can at least teleport so it's ok to show them. Besides, if I don't play with them they could get mad and start blabbering my secret to other people.
So I said with a small grin "Ok, I'll do it, so we're would you guys like to go?"
