Chapter 15: Spring Blooms Everywhere (2)

The shamisen and drum ensemble are simple and melodious, and there is nothing out of place in this new nostalgic tavern with a sense of antiquity and extravagance dominated by red and black.

It's a place that doesn't fit in with Gasparta, and it's loved by people, the overall décor is not like a typical tavern, with a small space and some yellowed lights, on the contrary, it is brightly lit and divided into several floors inside, in addition to some scenic areas, drinking areas, lounges and so on.

It's like an ancient oriental street.

If nothing else, it really feels like a state of gold.

Depending on the location indicated on the map, the entrance to the unknown is here.

Louisa and Beatis were naturally a little cautious when they first arrived, but the cool breeze with the smell of bamboo in the tavern was refreshing, and they unconsciously let down their vigilance.

"Welcome, what do you need?"

A clerk dressed in vintage clothes greeted him with a smile.

"We passed by here, looking at the chic decoration outside, and thought about coming in and having a look, can you please introduce us to it?"

Louisa didn't directly report the code, but asked as an ordinary guest.

"Of course, as you can see, the first floor of the verandah is where you can dine, drink and soak in the hot springs, the second floor is a viewing area where you can have a panoramic view of the store, and the third floor is a changing room and rest area, so you can go up to the third floor to take a break when you feel tired during the tour."

Louisa nodded, looked around, and finally landed on the lantern with the dish not far away.

"Give us a room with a view, and by the way, order two more bamboo rice."

When the clerk heard this, he turned around and picked up the record sheet and wrote and drew on it.

"There happens to be another one, plus your order, a total of 6,400 copper moon coins."

"Hmm."

She didn't say anything else, but directly took out a silver moon coin and handed it to the clerk.

"No need to look for it."

When you go up to the second floor, you will find that both the viewing area and the rest area are open rectangular or square spaces.

After the clerk took the two to the second long room at the end of the corridor, he went downstairs to prepare for the meal.

"I heard that Sparta's style business has developed in recent years, and some of the shops have also adopted ancient decorations, with paper windows and wood-framed doors half-concealed, and the complete openness of this store is really different from them."

After taking her seat, Beatis remembered the content of the urban economics elective class not long ago, and couldn't help but sigh at the atmosphere of this tavern.

On the one hand, the old school believes that it is now one of the seats of the upper wind, and it is the head city of Gallani, and should not take the lead in supporting the development of the amorous industry, but the new school advocates that people should be relatively free to release their emotions and six desires without violating the canonical law, so it is also interesting that many shops in Sparta can know the position of their owners just by looking at the decoration."

“! Wow, the owner of this store must be pro-old-school? ”

Beatis didn't expect that after her casual exclamation, she was instilled with new knowledge.

"Yes, but I'm more concerned about the entrance to the abyss beneath this gorgeous tavern than this."

There was no clue from the moment she entered the door, and Louisa, after a few looks, locked on to a more suspicious place.

There was a paper door in the gap between the common dining area and the stairs, and behind it seemed to be the kitchen—she had just seen the clerk take the tray with the bamboo rice in it, and was now walking in front of the fish tank with a maple background, ready to go up to the second floor.

Soon, the clerk delivered their orders to them.

Louisa ate a few bites casually, it was indeed delicious, the fragrance of bamboo had been completely integrated into the soft and glutinous purple rice, but it was a pity that she was not in the mood to enjoy this delicacy now.

Naturally, Beatis was excited about the food, and she carefully scooped up a mouthful of food with a wooden spoon and put it in her mouth.

But after the entrance to this food, which she usually couldn't afford to consume at all, she frowned slightly.

"Huh... It's weird. ”

"Isn't it unappetizing?"

Louisa, who was looking out at the scenery with one chin in one hand, heard her whisper and turned her head.

"No, it's delicious, but how to put it... I always feel that there is a little bit of earthy smell in it, and although most of it is covered by the bamboo fragrance, I can still taste this damp feeling when I taste it carefully. ”

Hearing her say this, the person on the other side also scooped up the rice and tasted it again, but he didn't feel like her, and just wanted to open his mouth to give feedback, but was attracted by another thing.

The guest at the end of the corridor hurried past to the first floor and said something to the clerk, and the two looked nervous, and then entered the kitchen together.

But soon they came out again, and the guest had an extra wooden box in his hand, and after parting, the guest went upstairs again and returned to the end.

“…”

Seeing this, Louisa did not speak, but reached out and gently stroked the paper window that separated them, and gradually, the paper window became transparent, and the appearance of the next door appeared in front of the two of them.

This is a kind of perspective magic commonly known as ground-glass method, which can make the object in front of you transparent on one side, and the other side will not notice anything unusual, and it is a high-level white magic.

The guest opened the box in front of his companions, and there was a golden ring lying inside.

The companion immediately took out a box in his arms, and when he opened it, he found that it was a gold ring of the same style.

It is only when the two are compared that you will find some differences in the color of these two rings, and the ring that I brought out in the kitchen just now is more and more enchanting under the light of the red lantern.

I couldn't make out what the two were exchanging, but they exchanged the two rings and got up together.

Louisa hurriedly wiped away the traces of the magic and sat back down to continue her meal, when the guest next door glanced at the two as they passed by, but did not stop, and left the tavern like that.

"That should be the place we're looking for."

After drinking the citrus tea that came with it, Xiaobai noticed that the roommate seemed to have undergone some changes.

She returned to the way she was at work, and her eyes were a little more aggressive, which made her already somewhat indifferent face even more repulsive, and her movements when she got up were so neat, and even the wisp of wind brought by her skirt was different from usual.

For some reason, seeing her like this, Beatis's heart suddenly swelled with sadness again, and there was a trace of impulse that almost never appeared.

She wanted to take off Louisa's mask, or say something else.

But she didn't, her natural sensitivity made her tighten her heart, and then she got up like her, and walked to the clerk downstairs.
