Chapter 185: Order Drinks at the Bar
"Huh, you want to come with me too, Ais? Okay, let"s go." Sylvia stopped her steps for a moment when she realized her friend caught up with her.
"En." Elysia nodded, then the two of them walked together up the stairs.
Since she had been included in this Devil Princess little party, it should end quickly and peacefully.
Not to mention, she hadn"t asked about what happened at the lake in Avrora Forest. Whether it was Elysia or Elena, they didn"t have to think twice about realizing this father and daughter devil duo was behind it.
As soon as they arrived at the bar, the two girls ignored other people glancing at them and just walked closer to the bar table.
"Mi..." Sylvia was about to call one of the closest bartenders, but Elysia stopped her.
"Wait a moment, let me take care of it. Mr. Bartender is taking care of other customer c.o.c.ktails. What would you like to order, and what drink does your father like?" Elysia tugged on Sylvia"s arm lightly before the Devil Princess could call out the bartender.
Everything she knew was based on experience on Earth, and there was always etiquette in the bar. It would be embarra.s.sing if the bartender ignored them just because they were not following that unwritten rule.
"Okay. Erm, my father might like fancy drinks, and I like sweet ones. Aumm, is that the drink menu? The name looks complicated..." Sylvia backed off a little and left the rest to her friend. She questioned a list of unique names on the visible board.
"Alright, a fancy drink, then a sweet one. But, no alcohol or liquor for you, okay? Me too..." Elysia knew that even if she only got that vague request.
She was still a minor and should not meet the liquor. Apart from that, the Devil Princess had never been to a bar before...
"Alcohol, liquor? Why? What is that?" Sylvia was clueless about the two names she just heard.
"Err... It"s a drink that can make people drunk. You want to get drunk?" On second thought, Elysia decided to tell the ignorant girl. Knowledge after insight, there was no reason not to tell Sylvia about it.
"Eww... No, drunk people can vomit, and I don"t want to vomit. En, a drink of sweet red fruit is good for me." Sylvia made a cross with her two index fingers. She didn"t want to vomit and suffer for those two things.
At that moment, she remembered the first time she got "drunk" when she learned to ride a Spirit Beast to fly in the sky. She vomited and suffered even though it was hundreds of years ago, but that still remained in her memory.
"Right? Please wait behind me." Elysia nodded with a smile. Then, she sat down on the tall bar stool and waited patiently for her turn to come.
It didn"t take more than two minutes for one in two busy bartenders to finish taking care of his customers. He immediately approached Elysia after putting c.o.c.ktails at the station to be brought by the waitress lady to the customers.
"What do you want to order, miss?"
"Do you have any specials for the fancy, then the sweet one?" After the bartender approached, Elysia immediately asked what was recommended.
She didn"t know the c.o.c.ktails based on the name on the menu board at the table. All the drink names were too foreign even though she had visited the bar a few times. Even Elena could only touch her finger and couldn"t help her sweet little sister.
"Special. The fancy one, it"s Extreme Bomb. Then, the sweet one, it"s Sweet Kisses." The bartender gave suggestions in concise sentences according to the question.
"Please give me a bottle of Lord Wine. Then, two gla.s.ses of red fruit juice mixture without liquor for us." Elysia immediately ordered when she saw a familiar name on the liquor shelf. Wine! The fancy one for the Devil Emperor.
"Would you like your drinks on the rocks?" The bartender nodded once. He asked before making the ordered drinks.
"The neat one, please." Elysia inwardly sighed in relief at the strange question. It was similar and only asked whether with ice or not.
"Alright." After saying that, the bartender immediately took care of all of Elysia"s orders.
After waiting a few moments, the bartender placed Elysia"s order on the table along with the bill. Elysia wasted no time and paid the fees stated in the paper. Two gold coins and twenty silver coins, including a tip. She paid for it with her own money...
"Thank you." Elysia conveyed her words to the bartender, then she gave a gla.s.s of red fruit juice to Sylvia.
"Okay, let"s go back." Elysia brought her juice and a bottle of Lord Wine. She asked Sylvia to get out of there as soon as possible before any stranger bothered them.
"En." Sylvia just nodded and followed her friend from the side. It was a new experience for her about the weird way of ordering drinks.
As soon as the two girls walked down the stairs and away from the bar... Several people began to question the two beauties just now.
"Hey, Gill." A half-drunk man called his acquaintance after he sat on the high bar stool.
"Oh, it"s you. What do you want to order?" Gill paused for a moment and glanced at the person who called his name, then returned to wiping the gla.s.s in his hand.
"Hehe, I was pretty drunk today. So, no thanks. By the way, two beauties that were just now are new women?" The half-drunk man glanced down the stairs while asking the bartender, who had taken care of the order for two beauties.
"No new women. You can go back to your place or go home. The big boss is downstairs, don"t try to mess around there." Gill reminded his acquaintance in concise words. The man who was half-drunk would probably go downstairs to find out about those two beauties.
"Oh s.h.i.t. Then, I"ll just have to get back to my b.i.t.c.h, haha!" The half-drunk man walked back to his seat with laughter.
He and several other men who intended to go downstairs immediately canceled their intentions. They didn"t dare go there after hearing Gill"s answer. Maybe, those two beauties were big boss"s women...
While wiping the gla.s.s, Gill glanced at the stairs, feeling a little surprised.
Earlier, the two adventurers carried large sacks and said that two sacks were merchandise to sell to the big boss. After that, two beauties appeared from downstairs, but he had never seen them around here...
The two beauties were the merchandise in question? So, they were bought by the big boss or what? Many questions suddenly came to his mind, but he immediately threw them away from his head. There was no point in getting into other people"s business. He just needed to do his job.
Meanwhile, Elysia and Sylvia had just returned to their room. The Devil Princess locked the door after they entered.
"Hum, a mixture of red fruit. That was an unusual way to order just for drinks, Ais." Sylvia looked back at her juice.
"Well, yes, it"s a bit unique." Elysia just confirmed that. Bar etiquette was not the same as in a restaurant or cafe.
"Father, thank you for waiting for us. Now let"s start our little night party!" Sylvia got closer to the bed and put her gla.s.s on the table beside her.
After a tiring day helping her father on a ma.s.sive lake, it was time she made a little party with her father and her friend. She was always happy to be together with someone, but they had to be her closest people she acknowledged. If not, it was equivalent to no happiness there.
Dylan could only sigh helplessly as his daughter sat on the bed. Sometimes, he coveted someone to help him look after his daughter, but that person also could be trusted enormously. Strong, wise, talented, kind, and most importantly... Would not betray him no matter what.
Unfortunately, even after hundreds of years of searching... He hadn"t found the right person. Some of his subordinate that he a.s.signed to accompany his daughter was also the subject of his backup plans.
The Devil Emperor believed in no one other than his daughter. Suspicion, doubt, and prejudice always arose when he was not around his daughter. It was still there because of grief and tragedy that had propelled him to become the sole supreme ruler of the Devil Continent.
"Mr. Dylan, here"s your drink." Elysia handed the bottle of Lord Wine to Dylan.
The words of the girl from the human race who he should hate made the Devil Emperor come out of his simple reverie. He looked to the side, at the girl who had unconsciously made him tolerate her presence around his daughter.
Dylan stared at Elysia without blinking, and the latter did likewise. Although she didn"t know why she kept being stared at by him.
