Gargas Islands, Nas.

When the grim-looking Gelman Sparrow walks into the "Whale Dance" grocery store, a lark that is not very common in the local area is crouching on the top of his silk top hat, which dilutes his cold temperament a lot.

Esther followed behind Klein, her eyes wandering around the cluttered shelves of the grocery store, curiously observing the few whale oil candles on display.

Crane knocked on the counter and spoke in Fursak to the gray-haired boss behind him, the point of contact for Admiral Stars in Nass.

After Esther heard that Klein rejected the boss's recommendation of spirits, the boss complained: "What kind of man is not Nepos?" Is Rune left with only a lady? ”

Esther poked her head behind Klein and said, "I-"

"Don't think about it." Crane's eyes suddenly sharpened, and Esther immediately retracted her head, pretending to stare intently at a few pairs of whaleskin gloves.

The boss laughed twice before asking, "Who introduced you?" ”

"Lady Gertmuse."

The boss stood up from behind the counter, his height made Esther feel oppressed to see the feet growing out of the large bookcase, and when the boss looked over, Esther quickly waved his hand:

"You can take him there, I'm just strolling around, I'm waiting for you here."

Klein looked at Esther again with a warning gaze, and the implication was obvious: don't touch anything, and don't touch the half bottle left on the table!

Esther smirked and stood honestly by the door of the grocery store. She has no interest in touching other people's wine bottles, and if she hadn't opened the package, maybe she would have just stolen some wine and tasted it.

She didn't have any special hobbies, she was just curious about the boss's description and wanted to try it.

It didn't take long for the boss to turn out, leaving Klein alone inside, and Esther knew that he was talking to the "Admiral of the Stars" to go to the easternmost part of the Sunia Sea.

The boss couldn't help but laugh wickedly when he saw the lady obediently staying by the door, he grabbed the wine bottle on the table and poured it twice, and then pulled out another wine bottle from behind the counter, which was unopened: "Anyway, no one cares about you now, come and take two?" ”

Esther tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Thank you for your kindness, but—"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the boss laughing: "Hahaha, there's nothing to be afraid of!" In Vrsac women drink too! ”

"Then I'll buy it with you, it's not good to take it for nothing......"

"Just drink! It's not that expensive, as long as you dare to drink it, the bottle is yours! Take! ”

The boss uncorked the bottle with his bare hands, and the brownish-green bottle immediately emitted a rich taste of wine, and he raised the bottle at Esther.

Esther glanced in the direction of the upper room, Klein hadn't come out yet, so it was nothing to take such a good opportunity to take a sip of wine for nothing......

So she walked to the counter and took the bottle, followed the boss's previous posture, and swallowed two mouthfuls directly at the mouth of the bottle.

It should be said that it is the most popular liquor in the Fusak Empire, and the high number of alcohol brings the most direct feeling of being strong.

Esther felt as if she had swallowed a mouthful of fire, burning from the tip of her tongue to her throat, making her choke a little.

Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

But when Esther opened her eyes again, there wasn't much of anything unusual except for a slight redness on her cheeks, and she exhaled a sigh of relief with a pleasant smile: "It's quite an impactful taste." ”

It's even a little nostalgic, I think I've heard someone tell about a similar smell somewhere? Vodka? Esther clenched the wine bottle and thought so, but the moment this thought surfaced, it was suppressed back by an inexplicable force.

"Good! Good! The boss smiled so happily at the lady's boldness that he gave Esther a thumbs up, "I didn't see you being so powerful!" ”

Esther's little finger raised, she resisted the urge to steal the other party's thoughts, and just laughed awkwardly: "Haha, it's just not very drunk, it's not much strength." ”

"What's not going to get drunk?"

"It's just drinking!" Esther took another sip and realized that the question she had just asked was not right.

Crane walked out the back door and saw such a scene, and his eyes of condemnation immediately fell on the bottle in Esther's hand.

Esther's gaze immediately drifted, and her heart was all on her face: "The boss said that you can invite me, and I agreed...... Just one bottle, one bottle! Rest assured, I wasn't affected much. ”

No, you've learned badly! Crane let out a long sigh in his heart.

"Gone." Crane tossed the crystal ball to the boss and strode to the door of the grocery store.

The boss held the crystal ball, stood behind the counter and threw the wine bottle at the two of them, as if he was happy to send Nepos out: "Next time, welcome to drink at any time haha!" ”

Klein couldn't help but glance at Esther sternly, but he was quite helpless in his heart, why did he start to let himself go without looking at her!

Esther, of course, didn't look at him again, and embarrassedly took the bottle behind her, and she began to make small talk about what she was eating for lunch, clearly trying to distract Crane.

"I'm going to gather information." Crane replied by pressing the brim of his hat.

Esther thought for two seconds: "Then I'm still not going with you?" If an adventurer brings a lady into a bar, it is easy to have an affair. ”

"Don't drink too much."

Esther laughed heartily, turned her feet, and walked directly to a restaurant passing by the street: "I'll see you later!" ”

Crane glanced at Esther's back, didn't say anything, and continued on to the local "Lodal", or "Dawn" bar, which is one of the gathering points for adventurers in the Gargas Islands.

But two seconds later, a "chirp" came down from the top of Klein's top hat, sounding a little dazed.

Obviously, both of them ignored the existence of this little lark.

Talking to a bird is obviously not in line with Gelman's outward coldness, otherwise Crane would definitely mumble something to the bird, "Your mother threw you down".

However, even after walking a distance of fifty meters, the lark did not react much, and stayed quietly above Klein's head, not showing what Esther called "separation anxiety".

Crane was a little confused, but didn't think much of it, because Esther's tone sounded nonchalant at the time, and she probably hadn't done much of the corresponding experiments.

——

Klein took a carriage to the "Lodal" bar, and Esther ordered some random specialties on the recommendation of the waiter in the restaurant.

There's no way, she's so tall of 1.6 meters, she looks like a pure outsider when she walks around Nas, and even if she straightens her back, she can't even reach the shoulders of passers-by.

If it weren't for the sake of enjoying the various flavors, Esther would have remained parasitic on the lark from beginning to end, so that as long as she flew, she could overlook everyone's hair.

However, because of the bottle of Nepos in her hand, Esther noticed that the other people's scrutiny of her turned to curiosity, including the guests at the next table of dining, and even the waiter at the restaurant specially brought her an empty glass.

Esther tugged at the corners of her mouth, always thinking they were trying to see her joke.

Then look at it, she won't get drunk anyway, even more so after being promoted to "parasite", the torrent of spirituality in her blood is enough to wash away anything that will affect Esther.

Only her face will turn a little redder, and she will be slightly excited, and she will not be negatively affected.

If it is an ordinary bird body, it will not work, but if Esther is parasitic on a lark, the fit between the light point and the body is high enough, and she can also change the physiological acceptance of the lark slightly.

So the phrase "eat everything" is Esther's peculiarity of being frank with Klein, and she doesn't know if Klein hears it.

He's so smart, even if he doesn't think about it now, he should understand it in two days.

Soon, Ace's special dishes were brought to the table by the waiter, and her Fursak was no longer a problem for simpler everyday conversations, and with her familiarity with the ancient Fersak, she chose the dishes on the menu that interested her the most.

The crimson beet soup is stewed with cabbage, potatoes and carrots, as well as chunks of soft beet, topped with a spoonful of sour cream and a sweet and sour taste.

Esther didn't like the mix of salty and sour, but she accepted the soup in its entirety.

Then there's the Fursac pie, which is similar in shape to a baked bun in the shape of a baked bun, an oval bread with a filling, filled with minced meat, mushrooms and cottage cheese, smeared with eggs and baked with a golden brown.

It's just right to eat it with beet soup.

There was also a plate of sliced Fursac jelly, which Esther found a bit stronger, and she would prefer the traditional light skin jelly, dipped in garlic vinaigrette.

Esther didn't order a drink, poured a full glass of Nepos to accompany her meal, and leisurely enjoyed her lunch.

She thought the rest of the time would be so leisurely, but suddenly, four or five people kicked the door open violently, pointed at the other table of customers who were eating, and cursed loudly.

The two men who were originally eating slapped the table and got up, not afraid of the disadvantages of their two of them, and scolded back unceremoniously in the same vulgar language, one louder than the other.

Esther scooped beet soup into her mouth as she watched the excitement and quickly increased her vocabulary in Vrsack.

The other diners had a similar attitude to her, and even seemed quite accustomed to the situation, and Esther couldn't help but wonder if it was the simple folk customs peculiar to the area.

However, after scolding and scolding, after the two groups of people became angry, they gradually had the posture of doing it on the spot.

So the cook, grabbing a stone dish with cheese patties in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, rushed out of the back room and roared to drive the group out of the restaurant.

Esther could hear the muffled grunting and crashing sound outside, but when the cook threw the stone saucer on her table, Esther was immediately drawn to the dessert sprinkled with powdered sugar.

The red-wine drunken cook took a deep breath and clearly smelled Nepos, and he bared his teeth at the young foreign lady, and his gloomy face just now eased a lot: "Good taste." ”

"Thank you." Esther replied with a smile.
