The force moved itself behind the bar and started to heat up the oven or microwave or particle accelerator or whatever it is you use to make sushi.
It seemed that this mystery would not be resolved unless someone had the magic to make the force visible.
It would require any of the above but sushi was mostly raw and the force will remain invisible but could possibly still make the sushi. Meanwhile the leg would be destroyed completely.
Perhaps unfortunately, the force chose the third option. Because
of course this place has a miniature particle accelerator.
Mister Mouffan, cleaning a glass, did not speak, turn around, or otherwise react. He had seen too much at this job to care about what would probably happen next, much less be surprised by it. Wherever this led, he had no regrets.
The force's inexperienced attempts at manipulating the particle accelerator lead to ever increasing energy levels within the machine, eventually culminating in a blinding flash of blue light.
When the glare cleared, a plate of reasonably well-prepared sushi sat on the counter. Next to it sat a dazed, very-much-visible kitsune spirit, covered in ash. After a few seconds, the ash seemed to realize that ghosts are intangible and fell to the counter, leaving a somewhat familiar poltergeist named Marty visible for all the world to see. One could only wonder how long he'd been haunting the place, undetected.
Mister Mouffan continued to clean his glass.
Upon realizing that he was visible, Marty's eyes went wide.
"Rats! We've been spotted! Dive, dive!"
With that, he disappeared beneath the floorboards.
...
Well, that was certainly interesting. Perhaps he'll be back tomorrow.
