Looking at the shy Kaifuni in front of him, Claude could only helplessly roll his eyes at Erikson: Is this the surprise you were talking about?
However, Erikson didn't have any self-awareness at all. Instead, he proudly thought that he had done a great thing: "It's an accident, didn't you expect it? Okay, Kaifni, I brought Claude over, and you are responsible for entertaining him.
Let him go, I'll go over there and take a look, so I don't want to disturb your whispers..."
"Hey..." Claude didn't hold Ericson back. He waved his sleeves gracefully and disappeared into the crowd outside the tent without taking away any trace of Claude's resentment.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Even though the time traveler had become an experienced driver in his previous life, he still felt uncomfortable in front of this girl.
"Cough, cough, hello, Kaifani, I really didn't expect to see you here." Claude could only find something to say, but he was thinking about how to get away as soon as possible and find Ericsson.
Beat him up.
The pretty girl blushed: "I'm glad to see you here too. Oh, by the way, do you want something to drink?"
Only then did Claude realize that she was holding a big wooden plate in her hand and wearing a maid skirt: "You, you are here..."
"This is the temporary stall of the Mermaid Tavern. I will work here tonight as a temporary maid." The girl did not feel shy about her dress, but instead introduced her job generously.
"Oh, that's it." Claude breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't mean to date him here. It seemed that he was overthinking it. Ericson should have brought her here because he knew her situation, but
He just wanted to meet her. After all, this Kaifani was the girl that little Claude liked before time travel, and Erikson knew this very well.
"Then tell me what you can drink here. I happen to be a little thirsty." Claude suddenly felt more natural. In this case, he might as well take a rest here to avoid having to squeeze in the crowd again.
Squeezed away.
"Then you can sit here, the tables here are empty." Seeing Claude ordering something to drink, Kaifuni suddenly showed a smile on her face: "We have honey milk tea, honey flower tea, and honey
Apple juice, honey cucumber juice, honey mixed fruit tea, honey blueberry juice, honey orange juice..."
"Why are there so many honeys?" Claude sat down and asked a little strangely.
"Because tonight is the welcome night! The boss said he would like to give everyone a sweet night..."
Well, a sweet night is all about adding more honey. Claude was defeated by this simple answer: "Let's have a cup of honey milk tea."
"Well, okay, five sunars." Kaifani looked at Claude eagerly, waiting for him to pay.
Five sunals... Claude was speechless. The price of a cup of honey milk tea for one sunar suddenly increased five times. This night was sweet enough. But Claude still paid the bill happily.
, after entering this tent, he can only be slaughtered obediently. Who told him to order?
"Thank you, please wait a moment, the honey milk tea will be delivered soon." After receiving the money, Kaifani smiled like a flower, turned around and went to bring milk tea to Claude.
The tent is not small, it is estimated to have an area of about thirty square meters, but half of the area is surrounded by a counter as an operating table. Then there is a small table for four people placed in a circle around the counter. The layout is indeed similar to that of a pub. This time
There weren't many people in the tent. The end of the dozen or so tables blocked by the counter seemed more lively, with several tables occupied. However, Claude's side was much deserted, and he was the only one occupying one.
A table.
After a while, Kaifani came over with honey milk tea.
"Your business here looks a little bad. There are so many empty tables. The tents in the Temple of War Square are crowded with people. I heard that the ale there is sold at a low price..." Claude was speechless.
, I am still a little concerned about the high-priced milk tea of these five sunars.
The girl smiled and said: "No, it's mainly because it's still early. Many people have just come here after dinner and don't want to drink anything yet. In more than an hour, you will know that it is very fast here.
It will be crowded with people. The higher price is just right for those young gentlemen to show their generosity and wealth in front of the ladies they just met. If the price is cheaper, there will not be many customers coming..."
Claude was a little surprised: "Oh, you came up with all this?"
"No, it was my sister who said that. She is currently entertaining the guests over there."
"That makes sense. We are very impressed with you two sisters." Claude took a sip of honey milk tea and said, "It's a bit too sweet. Kaifuni, how much honey did you add?"
"Is it really sweet?" The girl blinked her big eyes: "I added two more spoons of honey for you. If you think it's too sweet, drink half of it first, and then I'll fill it with light milk tea for you, so it won't
It would be too sweet.”
"Can we still get a refill here?" Claude asked.
The girl smiled and shook her head: "There is no refill, it's just a special treat for you. You are my first guest tonight..."
"Well, Kaifani, can you bring me an empty cup?"
The girl brought an empty cup to Claude, and Claude poured half of a full cup of honey milk tea into the empty cup.
"Then could you please fill up this half cup with light milk tea?" Claude said.
So the girl filled up the half cup of honey milk tea and brought it over: "What should I do with the half cup on the table?"
"Do I have the honor to invite the beautiful and kind classmate Kaifuni to drink this half cup of honey milk tea?" Claude said.
The girl didn't say anything. She just picked up the half cup of honey milk tea on the table and took a sip: "Wow, it's really too sweet. No, I'll add some light milk tea too."
Then the two of them held a cup of honey milk tea and slowly drank it in small sips.
"It's so comfortable to drink a cup of warm milk tea in such a cold weather." The girl said with half-closed eyes: "When I was a child, my father liked to put me on his shoulders and take my mother and sister to the Temple of the Earth Mother to wait.
The New Year is coming. I remember what I loved most was asking my father to buy me a cup of milk tea and drink it there slowly. But I didn’t expect that when I grew up, I would end up selling milk tea to others..."
"Uh... I'm sorry to remind you of the past." Claude was very embarrassed. There are always some bad habits that can't be changed. If you haven't traveled through time yet, in a bar at night, if you can remind a girl of the past, then listen to her story.
After an hour or two of heartfelt talk and a few glasses of wine, she won't be lonely that night. But now we are in another world, and this body is not yet an adult. It was only natural in the previous life to ask Kaifani to drink half a cup of honey milk tea.
Habits are not deliberate tricks...
"It's none of your business..." The girl held milk tea with blurred eyes: "I always think of my childhood, how beautiful it was at that time, my father and mother were all around us, and life was so happy...
...But suddenly one day, Uncle Monaro brought the news that my father had met with misfortune. It felt like the sky had fallen...My mother lingered on the bed...more than a year later, she also left us.
Looking for my father...
My sister hugged me and told me not to cry, but I just couldn't stop crying. Later, my sister also went to work. I was very scared to stay at home alone. I always hid in the corner holding my bear toy and cried secretly...
… My sister wants me to learn to be strong, saying that I am too weak and will suffer a big loss in the future... So my sister asked me to study, saying that after studying, I will understand a lot of truths, so that I can live independently and find a good job in the future.
, marry into a good family..."
"You will get what you wish for. You are a good girl, sensible, well-behaved, and cute. You will definitely be happy in the future..." Claude was also desperate. He could only comfort you like this. When a girl confides in you, she means to you.
I have a crush on him. But Claude doesn't want to fall in love right now. He focuses on learning magic. When he becomes a magician, he will be a man like the wind and appreciate the beauty and magnificence of this different world he has traveled through.
.He doesn’t want to stay in this small town all his life, marry a wife, have children, and be a good housekeeper...
What's more, his father, Mr. Morsan, has arranged a life path for him to join the army. After graduating next year, in more than a year, he will go to the mainland of Nubisia to join his nominal godfather Ti.
The governor of the Ersim region, the Viscount, whose name is that. If he falls in love with Keifni now and then separates him, it will be an even more cruel pain for this simple girl.
"Thank you..." The girl glanced at Claude shyly: "I was really rude just now, but for some reason I recalled my childhood when I took a sip of milk tea, and even said a bunch of nonsense to you, which made you laugh...
…”
"It's okay, we are classmates and should help each other." Claude specifically emphasized his identity as a classmate, and he didn't know if the girl could understand it.
"Then I'll go over first. Someone called me over there." The girl ran away in a hurry, leaving only half a cup of milk tea on the table.
When Claude slowly finished the milk tea in his hand, there were more people in the tent. The girl was right. The men who came to Luna Plaza this night were not short of money, especially when they were facing someone they had just met.
Female companions, they all pay generously, and even order more expensive wines. At the same time, in order to show their gentlemanly demeanor in taking care of women, they often order different milk tea and other drinks for their female companions to taste.
…
As soon as there were more customers, the girl started to get busy. She walked back and forth countless times and passed by Claude without even bothering to say a word. She could only give him an apologetic look.
Claude was about to leave. He was a little embarrassed to occupy a table by himself. Besides, he had finished drinking the milk tea.
But Claude didn't get up. Erikson came with Viricolo. When he saw that there was still half a cup of milk tea on the table, he asked Claude strangely who he was with and where was he now?
Claude said that there was no business here just now, so he invited Kaifani to drink a cup of milk tea.
"It seems like it's going well. You have to thank me for bringing you here." Erikson smiled proudly.
Claude ignored him and asked Verricro: "Where is your sister? Didn't your father ask you to follow her?"
"She asked me to stay away and not to hinder her in finding a partner..." Verricro shrugged helplessly and gave Claude an unexpected answer.
Erikson laughed loudly beside him: "Your father also asked you to watch your sister and don't lose her. He didn't even think about it. Is that possible? Your sister is more powerful than a female bear. How can she
You might lose yourself..."
Well, if Verricro's sister were seen from behind, everyone would think that she is a burly man. But she is a woman, and she is very smart and well-managed. She can even manage her father, who is known as the number one hunter in White Deer Town.
She was very obedient, let alone Verricro, who was not yet an adult. Her father often lamented that if this daughter were a man, his family would be in a prosperous position just around the corner...
"Stop laughing at Vericro's sister. Whatever you want to drink, I'll treat you." Claude quickly smoothed things over to prevent Vericro from going crazy. Although this guy was afraid of his sister, he couldn't stand Erikson's ridicule.
His sister.
Erikson also understood this, so he ordered a cup of honey blueberry juice, and Verrico ordered a cup of honey assorted fruit tea. Claude ordered something weird this time. He ordered a cup of black tea, specifically stating that he would not order anything else.
add.
The three of them just sat there chatting and waiting for the moment when the New Year's bell rang.
"By the way, I felt very strange when I was at the Temple of War at night. Why did our mayor, Baron Robert, also stand up to greet Sir Fox when he came out? Isn't he a baron? In terms of title, Sir Fox cannot be considered official.
Noble..." Claude raised a question of his.
Erikson pouted: "Mayor Robert's title of baron was inherited. His grandfather participated in the civil war and was made a baron by King Sterling IX for his military exploits. It can be hereditary for three generations, and it will be over in his generation. And he
Becoming the mayor does not rely on talent, but on buying connections through money, so the heads of departments in the town are not very convinced of him.
Sir Fox is different. He is the only national member of our White Deer Town. The political resources in his hands are not comparable to that of Mayor Robert. Therefore, although he is not a real nobleman, Mayor Robert, a declining baron, is not qualified to serve.
It was staged in front of him..."
Claude nodded, that's it. No wonder the route plan planned by father and others didn't involve Mayor Robert...
Not long after, the New Year's bell finally rang, and both the people in the tents and the crowds in the square gave out deafening cheers...
Claude has spent a year in this different world...
