In this nameless town, the tavern owned by the hostess Michelle is a unique existence.

Cheap ale is the first choice for most people, but what is even more popular with these alcoholics is that there are many delicious snacks to accompany the sake.

Aside from the fact that the waiter is a nagging little ghost, this is a paradise for most people in the town.

It was early May.

Although the season has entered the end of spring, the weather here is still cloudy and rainy, and there is no sense of stopping at all.

And this tavern opened by Michelle is the best place for these uncles who have become idle because of the weather.

Eren stood at the door of the tavern like the most ordinary waiter, handing a dry towel to every guest who entered. Although it was raining heavily outside, there was still a steady stream of customers entering the store.

As for Huck, who is a veteran, he is busy at the moment, and he doesn't look like he is giggling on weekdays.

From time to time, the shrill voice of the hostess Michelle came from the back kitchen, urging Huck to follow.

There was a lot of noise in the tavern.

The uncles holding large glasses of ale wine laughed and touched each other's glasses, and some of them were even drunk with red faces.

Some guests sit alone in the corner of the tavern, ordering a large glass of ale and a few side dishes, but at the moment they are eating and drinking "hulahula" without raising their heads.

In view of the fact that the store was too busy, Ai Lian had to go into battle in person, serving tea and wine to those drunkards, and he was very busy.

Soon, night fell.

The sound of the wind whistling outside the window and the sound of the rain did not stop at all, and the guests in the tavern were almost dispersed at this time.

Huck and Eren collapsed in an empty seat, enjoying a rare break from a busy day.

The hostess Michelle has also left the back kitchen, and listening to Huck, she has gone home.

From Huck's mouth, Eren learned such a message.

The tavern had only been open until 8 p.m. since Huck was fifteen years old and his aunt was helping out, and the hostess Michelle would leave the place at 8 p.m. on time, while Huck did the rest of the cleaning by himself.

This habit has been maintained until now, so the regular customers also have the interest to finish their party before 8 o'clock and go home drunk.

Eren glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and the time stopped at 8 o'clock.

In other words, from now on, there will be only two people here, him and Huck.

After a dozen minutes of rest, Huck stood up again in good spirits, and it seemed that he was completely used to this kind of intense work.

As for Ellen, he had fully recovered his strength ten minutes earlier, and for him, the work was tiring, but not to the point where he was too tired to stand up.

The reason why Eren is still sitting is actually very simple.

He just didn't bother to stand up.

Huck didn't rush to do anything when he stood up, but twisted his shoulders left and right to soothe his shoulders, and then said to Ellian, who was still sitting in the chair, "Ellen, you rest first, I'll go make dinner!"

Eren nodded slightly, and watched Huck into the kitchen.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that with his cooking skills, if he helps, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Just as Eren looked around boredly, a small head came in from outside the tavern.

The four eyes met, and Ai Lian just met his eyes.

"Yikes!"

There was a small cry outside the door, and Elian could only smile bitterly and say, "Come in, don't freeze outside." ”

Two thin figures slowly walked into the tavern, and then sat down in a seat not far from Ellen.

The two are Ai Yue and Linda, who have disappeared since the afternoon.

Ai Lian couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the two of them had lowered their heads since they entered the door, with an expression of "I know I was wrong".

He waved his hand casually and said, "Forget it, just say what you want to eat." ”

As soon as Ai Yue heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, and then she immediately jumped up from her seat and ran to the back kitchen.

Eren reckoned that she had already reported the menu to Huck, to which Eren had to say sorry.

After all, the lunch money at noon has not been paid off, and Elian doesn't think that just being a waiter for the afternoon can pay off the meal money.

However, for Ai Yue, he has always been extremely tolerant, to be precise, it should be regarded as doting.

Of course, the love here is not between a man and a woman, but something deeper.

Ai Yue ran to the back kitchen, and Linda, who came in with her, sat silently in her chair at the moment, without saying a word.

Eren stood up lazily, expertly removed a towel from the bar, and placed it in front of Linda.

After doing all this, Elian sat back in his previous position.

Linda gently picked up the towel in front of her and wiped her wet hair.

Then she spoke.

"Thank you. ”

Although these two words sounded like filaments, they did reach Elen's ears.

Eren knew she wasn't talking about what she had just said, and a towel wasn't enough for an introverted girl like Linda to say such a thing.

Eren didn't answer, he just gently shook the cup in his hand, there was no water in it.

In the course of this afternoon, what happened to Ai Yue and Linda, Ai Lian did not know.

But what he did know was that something was slowly happening.

————————————————————————————————————

Ai Yue came out of the back kitchen with a plate of steaming vegetables in her hand, and from the expression on her face, Eren could tell that Huck finally met her request.

Sure enough, Huck, who came out with Ai Yue, even brought out a tray with four or five dishes neatly placed on it.

Ai Lian grinned, this is a dinner for four people, obviously at Ai Yue's request, Huck also had to "add food".

Half an hour later, the four of them were full of food and drink.

This time, Ai Lian did not let Ai Yue go, but asked her to help clean the tavern.

However, Ai Yue obviously did the opposite, and if Linda hadn't been helping, Erian and Huck would probably have been busy until the second half of the night.

After cleaning the tavern, Eren and Ai Yue struggled with where to stay at night.

And when Huck and Linda learn that the two have nowhere else to go, they immediately speak.

Huck invites Allen to stay at his house for the night, and in the case of Ellen, she stays at Linda's house. The two of them were originally neighbors, and they both lived alone, which was very convenient.

Looking at the determined gazes of the two, Ai Lian nodded.

Sometimes, two strangers become friends, it's as simple as that.
