Slow Chapter 5.8: Knocking on the wine table
·
I feel that the existing candidates are all terrible, and I can't choose anyone enough. Fieldine is a sub-ethnic group, and it is said that the guards of the same crime case do not pay attention to the sub-victims; Raumi has a certain charm, but it may be a blessing or a curse to seduce the vice-captain; Paul is just a temporary thug raised by the vice-captain for a while, and he has a friendship at all?
Without further ado, you decide to accompany Hathaway personally.
When you stood up, Hathaway politely and kindly arranged the cushions on the chair for you.
Then he stares at you silently, as if wondering why you're still standing.
As you walked out the door, Hathaway grabbed your arm and muttered happily, "As it happens, I'm a little hungry too." ”
When you said you were going to bribe the vice-captain in person, Hathaway rolled up her sleeves, stretched out the back of her hand, and put it on your forehead: "Well, it's a little hot. ”
"Huh, do you really want to come with me?" Hathaway was so shocked when she learned that you really planned to go with her, that her glasses hung on her lips, and then she looked at you with a look of almost disdain—the expression you had seen a long time ago, the expression of your parents when you were only four years old and loudly proclaimed that you would do something great in this life.
Hathaway sighed longer than ever, and walked behind you towards the vice-captain's house. On the way, she went to an employment agency.
In the afterglow of the setting sun,
The two of you are standing in front of the vice-captain's house.
"Your Excellency, I solemnly announce one thing: I will not say much in front of the various leaders of the council office, the guards, and the market. Because I'm afraid I'll offend them by accident...... Do you remember what happened to the first three presidents? That's the reason. ”
Hathaway throws the burden on your shoulders. Three words were written on her face - it's all up to you, buy three get two free.
knock
Open the door
You are greeted by a woman of the same age as the vice-captain, not very beautiful, but with a rich and healthy round face that is neither materially nor spiritually lacking.
"Oh, it turned out to be my husband's friend, please come in!" After explaining her intentions, the woman warmly beckoned you to come in and sit down, her smile full of sunshine and heartiness.
Humming a song, the woman went into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner, looking very happy. Jingle is busy, and it is not difficult to judge from the back that she is a good wife who is very skilled in housework.
Hathaway patted your cheek and reminded you to pay attention to a polite smile: "Hehe, you can't figure out why such a vice captain has such a good daughter-in-law, right?"

I like to stick it in cow dung. This truth is like "a loving mother has many defeated children", and there is a strange iron rule that the world is difficult to analyze thoroughly. It is precisely because of love that the son of a loser is raised, but conversely, it can also be said that the son of a loser cultivates a mother who can only barely maintain the family with love.
Whispering, Hathaway tells you where this woman came from.
Ordinary village girl, the deputy captain at that time was just a poor boy who was out of tune. When she was young, the woman was also considered to be smart, and no one dared to recognize herself as the first in the village. After marriage, the vice-captain was obedient to her, just from her smile and rich figure.
"So, he doesn't have any scum to the end, unlike someone. Hathaway ended with this sentence.
Well?
Who does someone refer to?
Finally waited for the vice-captain to get off work. When he entered the house, he was not very energetic, but suddenly looked up and found that you and Hathaway were there, and immediately snorted: "Yo! Isn't this an adult! Welcome, welcome to —— Hey, make a few good dishes!"
"I know, I'm doing it, it's almost ready!"
Hathaway stood up and respectfully handed the vice-captain a few bottles of dwarven brew, as he had inquired about the other party's preferences in advance.
Accepting the hot wine, the deputy captain laughed: "It's rare to be a guest, how can such a little wine be enough—— hey, bring all my good wine!"
"Got it, it's all ready!"
The next moment,
You have a headache on your forehead.
You lie on your stomach on the table, as if you have lost consciousness at one point...... What? What happened? You hold your head up with one hand, trying to remember.
Most of the dishes on the table were eaten, and empty wine bottles were rolling everywhere. The vice captain's face was flushed, his teeth and claws, and he was bragging about the clouds, mountains, and fog, and he was full of interest. Hathaway also drank a lot, and her respectful smile was trembling frequently, and she couldn't keep it anymore.
Oh, yes.
You just drank the splinter, hell.
It was late at night, and the vice captain's wife had already gone back to rest first, and the vice captain was still in high spirits, the more he drank, the happier he became, and the whole person's physique even expanded several times and completely let go.
Eight bottles, ten bottles? No, you can't count how many empty bottles there are on the floor. It's a rhythm that you have to drink until dawn.
When you are half dazed and half awake, you suddenly figure out a few things.
Why is it that the house of the vice-captain of the palace seems to be visited by few people?
Why didn't Hathaway initially propose to let you go with him, because the vice-captain is very macho and disdains drinking with women, and if he lets Fierdin or Raumi go with him, he should be able to get out of the way, as for whether Paul will drink to death...... Resigned to fate.
Why is the vice-captain so enthusiastic about you, because you have lost the battle, and you are counting on the adventurers to solve the threat of that dungeon.
Why...... Didn't anyone warn you in advance?
Now your stomach doesn't look like your own, it's more like a slime's.
During your break, it seems that Hathaway has already negotiated an open recruitment for tomorrow while the vice-captain is happy. Drink happy, everything is easy to talk about.
Now that the matter is done...... But the vice-captain obviously doesn't want to let you go! he's looking you up and down with eyes that are more terrifying than lustful.
"As soon as you look at it, you can still drink it!, right?" he said, putting his arms around your shoulders tightly, and squeezed Hathaway, who was in the middle of the way, out.
Can you continue to drink?—— Hathaway rubbed her sore buttocks and asked you secretly.
Judge the amount of alcohol and physical condition as calmly as possible, what are you going to do?
A, drink half a bottle more and listen to him brag. All your options before going to bed will go astray.
B, if a mouthful of stuffiness, on the basis of A, before going to bed, the author's narrative will not guarantee objectivity.
C, farewell.
