Chapter 3: The Bartender

The old man's party was full of taste.

At nine o'clock in the evening, a few veterans gathered in a small bar. Listen to cheap music records and drink powerful concoctions.

The name of the shop is Valhalla, a name that sounds 'cute'. Veterans of the battlefield were particularly fond of the name - not that they were in a hurry to reincarnate to see what the Valkyries looked like. It's just that I like the name very much, and I think I'm a hero.

Is this arrogant?

Not at all, for these old men, this kind of thinking can only be called self-confidence.

"So? What kind of fighting tournament are you going to play?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, but the Kusanagi family is willing to give this number, so you know. ”

"That's so much? ”

Four old men sat at the bar, drinking in a row.

The strong muscles intimidate other customers and make fashionable men and women completely afraid to approach.

The bartender lady who served them had a look close to salted fish at the moment—although the four old men did drink a lot, which made her make a small profit. But how to put it, the feeling of not being able to talk is really a little uncomfortable.

Like now.

The biggest-looking, power-armor-clad man was slapping the other old man next to him, nearly slapping the beret on the table.

The loud sound was as shocking as a drum, and if it weren't for the latter's expression as usual, the girl would have planned to call the police.

"It's the Kusanagi family, after all...... Didn't you pick up the work over there, didn't you know them well?"

"I don't have any business dealings, so it's normal to not know. ”

It's different from the average young man. The drinks ordered by the old man were all strong spirits, and they drank them glass after glass under the shocked gaze of the bartender. Then, while talking and laughing, a new order is placed.

Very rich and very good at drinking.

Such people are generally not easy to provoke.

Miss bartender knows this very well, so she doesn't plan to say much. Since the guests don't plan to chat with her, then she quietly mixes, anyway, the money is always earned, which is the most important thing.

But the Kusanagi family...... It's a term she's familiar with.

Although she didn't like it very much, she had heard the surname 'Kusanagi' on TV.

The actor named Kyo Kusanagi seems to be very popular in Japan, and it seems that he has appeared in many school works.

Although the theme is mostly campus brawls, it looks like a bunch of gangsters.

No, not as it seems.

They are playing the little gangsters.

So what's going on? My customers are also actors.

Wow, just kidding. This lump of iron-like muscles is prosthetic and blind. If they were actors, Miss Bartender would eat their own bartenders!

"Anyway, who picked this place?"

The inner activity of Miss Bartender certainly did not reach the hearts of the old men. Klute drank as he tapped his fingers on the table.

The table made of solid wood gives a crisp sound when struck, giving Kluet, who has a somewhat old taste, a satisfying hum.

Whoever chooses it, he loves it.

If he has the opportunity in the future, he wants to do it again.

"Of course it's me, yes. ”

Kruger took over the topic and looked at the table below.

"But to be honest, it's my first time. This shop was recommended by one of my subordinate commanders, and I believed her recommendation by seeing how reliable she was. Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me. ”

"Yes, a girl?"

"Yes, I was a little apprehensive at first—you know, I can't trust a lady's taste because of Herrian's condition. But how to say it, sure enough, the tomboy has a set on this. I told her it was a 'party of old men' and she recommended it to me. ”

"So powerful?"

"It's not over yet, the girl said that there is a recommended program at half past nine, I think I can look forward to it. ”

"Do you want a piano? I see there's a stage over there, is it playing over there?"

Even Snake happily joined the conversation.

Although his arms have been replaced with metalwork, drinking with old friends still keeps him energized.

Hearing this, the bartender lady on the side already showed a bad expression.

Half past nine?

As far as she knows, there is only one show that will appear at this point in time.

And that performance wasn't a piano performance.

If you have to say it, is it singing...... No, it's pole dancing.

“……”

These old men, can they stand this?

Miss bartender was skeptical.

So, isn't it time to remind them here? At least let them be prepared?

It seemed like it was supposed to be, but it was too late.

Just when Miss Bartender was hesitating, Miss Actor had already appeared.

"Oh......"

Miss bartender muttered as she watched the pink-haired girl walk onto the stage. Then there was a click, and the stage brightened.

The four old men, who had been in high spirits, looked confused.

Klute scratched his chin and asked Kruger in a very uncertain tone.

"The performance you're talking about, that's not going to be it. ”

There is no piano, only an ornate stage and vertical steel poles. There was also a little girl who didn't look very old and wore a fluttering skirt, which was full of the smell of crime.

“…… I'll give you a call and ask. ”

Kruger kept his cool and pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Klut swore he had never seen his old buddy make a phone call at such speed.

At the same time, it was the first time he met someone who could answer his mobile phone in seconds.

[Hey, boss, are you already watching?]

"Goo, I'll check with you. ”

【What?】

Although I already guessed what was going on in my heart. But Krueger continued.

"Is that recommended show you talking about pole dancing?"

[I hate it, boss, is it really good to talk to a girl about this kind of topic? But yes, that kid is great, isn't it?! This is a show that has only recently been launched, and in the past, that kid was only selling his body and not performing arts. 】

"Okay, we'll talk about your salary for next month. ”

[Don't!boss!That kid is an entertaining humanoid!Don't look like a Lori, it's actually legal!]

"We're going to have a good talk next month. ”

Kruger snapped and turned off his phone, his face already turning pale.

"Okay, so what do we do next?"

The four old men turned around in unison and faced Miss Bartender again.

"Do you want to go back?"

Klut scratched his cheeks, feeling very embarrassed.

"I mean, find another store and have a second half or something. ”

"What are you talking about in front of this young lady? ”

"So we're going to sit like that?"

"To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea. ”

"Snake, shut up!"

Wow.

Miss bartender, sighing calmly in her heart, continued to shake the flask in her hand.

……

……

In the end, the old men who couldn't put it down persevered until the end of the show.

Except for Snake, who was a little regretful, the faces of the others were not very normal. On the one hand, it is because of drinking too much alcohol, the nervous system is a little abnormal, and on the other hand, it is ...... PPK called halfway through and chatted with Kluet meaningfully for a while.

For the three paternal characters, the timing of the call was nothing short of sensational.

"Klut, don't worry. ”

Before parting, Kruger patted his brother on the shoulder. His face was full of suffering.

"I'll let that girl bury you. ”

But what comes out is shit shit.

……

……

"PPK, listen to me, things are not what you think. ”

"Don't worry, boss, I trust you. ”

"This ...... That's ......."

"But I don't know whether Miss Noel and Miss Liana will believe the other two gentlemen. ”

……

……

I'm not going to die anyway.

There is a debtor and a debtor, brothers, take care of yourself.
