Work Text:
Yuuji didn't know how he ended up in the worst restaurant in town midway a robbery. What a way to end his summer.
The girl next to him he's pretty sure must be a Hatsune Miku cosplayer does not make this any less weirder.
A man points his gun at him, "open the register?"
"I don't work here?" Yuuji answers a second later.
--------------------
"I said what I said!" The man raised his voice, waving the gun around. Yuuji is no stranger to danger, far from it, being the vessel for the King of Curses after all.
The Miku cosplayer by his side isn't helping with the surreal-ness of being held up in a robbery. After months of fighting curses and nearly dying, he's here, put under the crossfire.
"But-" Yuuji tries to explain himself once more and the man steps closer.
He's sure he could take the guy in a fight and he doesn't sense any cursed energy from the man either. Just your usual run of the mill robber.
However the gun pokes at his shoulder and he finds himself moving around the counter anyways. "Okay, okay, sir. I'm moving."
"Oh, wow!"
Hatsune Miku's committed cosplayer jumps up from her seat only then once Yuuji manages to bust open the register, gun still held up from across the counter. "Hey mister!"
--------------------
The gun man and Miku froze in place, Yuuji following a moment later.
Why were they frozen?
"What?" The gun man raised an eyebrow. "What the hell do you-?"
Suddenly, a spotlight appeared out of goddamn nowhere and did she have a microphone???
The Miku lady started *singing* of all things, but it was enough to completely distract the robber.
Yuuji put the money back in the register before closing it, seeing as how he was entirely distracted.
Music started out of nowhere, in time with Miku's singing, the robber man starting to bop along surprisingly.
It was maybe 3 minutes later that the girl stopped singing, taking a small bow as the man clapped.
"That was so wonderful!" He sniffed, wiping a tear. "Absolutely wonderful, the best thing I've ever heard!"
Suddenly, a police man burst in, seeing there wasn't a commotion, he simply walked up and handcuffed the robber, taking his gun pretty easily.
As the police escorted the sniffling man off the premises, he turned to Miku. "How on earth did you get him to stop?"
Yuji left some money and then left quickly after that.
She was... strange.
But at least she didn't use her powers badly.
