Chapter 8: The Tavern
Then Linas clasped her hands and said, "If you can, I'll give you a little more ride! β
"Ah...... Thank...... Thank you!"
"Also, you can put away the black sword, don't let outsiders know, you know?" said Linas cautiously.
"Hmm!" Kaos nodded, "I know what to do. β
"Huh, you kid!"
With that, Kaos left with Linas.
......
After delivering the letter, Linas took Kaos to find a hotel in the city to stay. After sleeping in the desert for a long time, she finally arrived in Stanrow, and Linas didn't intend to treat herself badly.
"Hey, do you want to hang out?"
After opening the room, Linas asked Kaos, and the excitement on her face was not hidden at all, Linas's personality was probably more like a man than a woman's.
"Where to go?" Kaos thought for a moment, "Where can you go?
Linas laughed and said, "I just saw a tavern in front of the downtown in front of me, can you kid drink?"
"Drinking?"
Kaos had a look of embarrassment, he hadn't drunk since he was so old.
"This ......"
Looking at Kaos's expression, Linas showed a disgusted expression, "Sure enough, it's a rich kid, when I was your age, many adventurers couldn't drink me!"
"Ahh......h
"Alright, don't, either watch here or go together, you can choose one!"
Linas looked at Kaos and made a waiting, and Kaos was overwhelmed by Linas's multiple-choice question.
"This ...... I think...... That ......"
Kaos hesitated, after all, he had never drunk.
And Linas on the side looked at Kaos like this, and was a little impatient for a while.
"Really, grinding, like a little girl, I was much more direct than you back then. Let's go together!"
"Eh!!!"
Without waiting for Kaos to react, Linas directly took Kaos's wrist and left the room.
......
Arriving at the tavern door, Linas's eyes became hot, and she pushed the tavern door open with a force.
There was a heavy slamming sound of the door coming from the door, and it felt like it was going to be broken, and at the same time, everyone who was drinking in the tavern suddenly cast a strange look at Linas.
But Linas didn't pay any attention to these glances, and she walked straight to the counter, and it wasn't long before the drinkers continued to drink their own as if nothing had happened.
Kaos also walked in after Rinas entered the tavern, but he put on a black cloak, as if he wanted to cover his whole person, not wanting to be seen by others, which seemed to be a little mysterious, and the mask on his face added to this mystery.
However, the reason why Kaos is dressed like this is not to hide his identity, he is just a little scared.
"Good...... It smells like a lot of wine!"
"Waiter," Linas snapped her fingers as she approached the counter, then shouted "a beer!"
"Okay!" replied the bartender.
And after saying that, Linas turned her head to look at Kaos, who had just come in and was not more than a meter away from the door, and asked, "Kaos, what do you want to drink!"
"I ...... I...... This one...... Whatever! if you can...... Is there any juice?" said Kaos weakly.
"Juice?"
As he spoke, the people around him cast a strange look again, but this time, everyone was looking at Kaos.
Linas also showed a dissatisfied look, ignoring Kaos, she said directly to the bartender, "Give this kid a beer, too!" β
"Uh...... Ordinary beer, orβ" The waiter asked, apparently seeing that Kaos was visiting this kind of place for the first time.
"Serve me the strongest beer in your store, hmph, if you don't learn to drink, how will you mix it up in the future!" Linas had an unhappy expression.
"Ahh
"Don't, don't, I-"
"Hmmm!!!!"
Linas suddenly glared at Kaos, and after Kaos saw Linas's eyes, for the first time, his back was in a cold sweat, and his feet seemed to be motionless as if he was not obeying.
"Uh...... Only...... So be it!"
Linas nodded in satisfaction, then patted Kaos on the shoulder.
"That's right!"
"Hey, hey, hey......" Kaos laughed helplessly.
......
...
"Drink, drink, drink!"
"Come on, come on, come on!"
"Hold on, Kaos, it's the last drink!!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh !! a real man!
After an hour, almost half of the people in the tavern were surrounding Kaos and Linas, and Kaos in front of him was already overwhelmed, but at the instigation of everyone, he still picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.
Originally, everyone was just drinking their own wine, but after hearing Linas say that Kaos had come to the tavern for the first time, everyone was full of interest in this newbie, so everyone who was a little interested went to the side to encourage Kaos.
Kaos was a little unconscious after putting his glass down, and now he was acting completely on his own body awareness, even though he was unconscious.
"I ...... I still...... Still...... Yes...... Bar...... Vomiting ......"
Kaos couldn't help but throw up, but everyone in the tavern laughed.
"That's amazing! I hadn't drunk so much for the first time before. β
"This kid is okay! It's called Kaos, right?"
"Are you alright? Kaos, do you want to have another drink? As long as you can drink it, this cup is mine, how about it!"
Everyone around him continued to egg, only the person closest to him gently patted Kaos on the back.
"It's okay! It's not embarrassing for me, it's good. Linas looked at Kaos with pleasure, too, and she drank the beer in her hand.
"Okay, okay, this kid drinks for the first time, and when he sees it, I'll take him back first, brothers and friends, see you next time." β
"Okay, yes, remember to bring Kaos with you!"
"Well, yes, we all love this guy!"
"Hahahaha, yes!"
"Okay, okay, let's do it today!"
With that, Linas left the tavern with Kaos on her back.
......
The next day
It wasn't until noon that Kaos woke up from his sleep, and when he woke up, he still felt a pain in his head, as if he had been hit by something sharp, and he couldn't remember what had happened.
"It's ...... Where......"
Kaos looked at the hotel room in a daze, although it was not the first time he had seen it, but he still felt like he was in a strange environment.
"Yo, you kid finally woke up!"
At this time, Linas was only wearing a coat next to him, looking at him with a smile on her face, except for this unbuttoned coat, Linas was only wearing a bra and shorts.
"Linas...... We're in ...... At...... In the ......"
Suddenly, Kaos, who was looking at Linas, opened his eyes wide, and the next second, he only saw shouting.
"Ah!!!h
He immediately covered his eyes with a quilt.
"You, you, you...... How did you...... Dress like this. β
"Huh?"
Linas looked at her dress indifferently, and then said casually, "It feels cool!
"But ......"
"Alright, it's just that a kid smaller than himself has been shown his figure! β
Kaos swallowed as he listened, but Linas smiled meaningfully.
"You kid don't have thoughts about my sister, do you want me to help you put into practice what you have in mind?"
"Talent...... No, it's not at all!" Kaos said with a blushing face, which made him feel ashamed.
"Hehehe, okay, I'm not interested in a milky little hairy kid like you! Seeing you like this, you're almost sober! Do you remember what happened yesterday?"
"Yesterday?"
Some fragments flashed through Kaos's mind, and then he said with some embarrassment, "It seems to be ...... There's a bit of a gaffe!"
"It's alright!" Lynas turned to look at the map on the table again.
"Kaos, you have to remember that the tavern is not only a place of entertainment for an adventurer, but more importantly, it is a place for the exchange of information, in the tavern, you can get a lot of information that you did not expect, and these things, you will come into contact with sooner or later. β
Linas said earnestly, but her eyes remained fixed on the map.
Kaos listened and slowly lowered the quilt in his hand, he seemed to realize something.
"That's why you're taking me to the tavern?"
Linas didn't speak, but she knew that Kaos understood what she meant.
"You still have to learn a lot, even if the flowers that grow in the greenhouse have the most beautiful color, the storm outside the greenhouse can still easily destroy them, and only the flowers that can withstand the storm can bloom their beauty forever. β
Suddenly, Linas stood up, and she picked up the clothes she had hung on the wall and put them on her body, moving smoothly and naturally.
"Pack up and get ready to leave!"
"Where?" asked Kaos.
Lynas pointed to the map and said, "I'm going to Los Ca next, I'll drop you off somewhere, although you may have to take a long detour to the Temple of Soloran, but it's only one more day's journey, at least I can keep you safe for a few days." On the way, I'll teach you some things you should know as an adventurer. β
