Chapter 10: Real Wine Makes You Sad
Drinking wine, eating meat and bragging

＊＊＊

The streets were bustling with nightlife, neon lights stain the dim sky, and the streets were filled with the aroma of food and fresheners. The flow of people coming and going makes this bar street look particularly crowded.

Compared with other bars with violent music and discotheques, Tokyo Seikai Bar was not as popular as other bars because it specialized in vinyl records. During the time when the night creatures were lurking, there were very few customers.

Now the entire bar was very quiet. Occasionally there was the sound of people talking quietly, and the crisp sound of the bartender shaking the mixing glass.

*jingle*

The glass door of the bar was pushed open hard, and the sudden draft blew the wind chimes tied to the door.

"Ah, guest, welcome to—"

The young, handsome and sunny bartender looked towards the door with a smile on his face, but the words in his mouth stopped abruptly.

The smile appeared awkwardly on his face and solidified into a landscape.

"..."

A drunken girl in a long skirt stood at the door.

•

The girl was very beautiful.

Snow-white skin, beautiful facial features outlined by a pen, she looked pure and gorgeous.

Although her appearance was not cute in the traditional Japanese aesthetic sense, her appearance was so good that she had broken through the aesthetic barrier.

She wore a light beige waist-length dress, with her very thin waist, it made her figure appeared slightly taller. She wore shiny shoes on her feet, she looked quite dignified.

However, these were not the most important.

The important thing was that this girl looked too young.

It could be told at a glance that she was underage.

Now,

This suspected underage girl was lying on the bar counter in a drunken state. She looked like she had a headache and was rubbing her forehead with her hands.

"Brother, please bring me a bottle of vodka. I want cola or green tea to go with it."

Tiantian commanded the bartender with an extremely skillful tone. She leaned on the table and nodded her head.

"..." The corners of the bartender's mouth twitched twice.

Vodka? This liquor was quite strong.

But she was suspected of being underage... if he was reported, his would lose his job.

If something unfortunate happened to this girl and her parents found the bar through surveillance, maybe he would be sued.

This was something that a senior migrant worker could bot tolerate.

"Guest... are you of age? According to regulations here, we are not allowed to sell alcohol to minors."

The bartender's tone was gentle and persuasive.

He didn't dare not be gentle in his tone.

After all, the girl was drunk, and he was afraid that he might accidentally anger the girl with the drunken buff. In his experience, alcoholics of any age were very difficult to deal with.

Those who drank well would go to bed directly, while those who drank poorly would throw glasses and shake chairs, and some would hit people on the head.

As a bartender, he had endured too many disasters that he shouldn't have to bear, and the pain was already engraved in his DNA.

"?"

Tiantian frowned.

"Adult."

She waved her hands repeatedly with a very firm tone.

"Can I come to your place for a drink if I'm not an adult? I know what's going on, don't worry... bring me two plates of dumplings, by the way."

Bartender: "..."

This was not a problem that can be solved by talking. Was it really good to say such words with a childish face?

And why did you think a bar like ours would have dumplings?!

"Guest... can you please show me your driver's license or your insurance certificate? And... we don't have dumplings here. If you want to eat dumplings, I recommend going to [Jiajia Chinese Restaurant] in the back street. That restaurant had a very good reputation."

Please, go to the Chinese restaurant quickly and stop messing around with me here! The time of working as a worker was very precious!

"I don't have any, please hurry up."

Tiantian started to get a little harsh. She annoyedly handed over the two 10,000-yuan bills that the system had exchanged and slapped it on the table, and then tapped the wooden table-top with her fingertips.

"Please hurry up, my time is tight."

The surrounding guests were all attracted by Tiantian.

"..."

The bartender looked at the girl opposite with a sad expression.

Here came, this familiar scene.

This posture was probably going to be a drunken act next.

For example, the kind of 'I'm not satisfied with the reception, I will tear down your store'.

"I'm an adult, what's wrong with a little drink? If something happens, I'll take care of it myself. You bring the drink, and I'll give you the rest as a tip."

The more Tiantian talked, the more annoyed she became, and she was about to start dancing.

"Guest... please wait a moment, your order will be ready soon!"

The bartender didn't know whether he was frightened by Tiantian or because the tip was too generous.

Almost the next second, the man raised his hands and gave Tiantian assurance with a smile.

"..."

Tiantian remained silent, turned her head, made a face, and waited for the bartender to serve her a drink.

"He he." The bartender smiled awkwardly.

•

In the next time, the bartender fried Tiantian a piece of tempura and fries. Tiantian picked it up and ate it, trying her best to suppress the overwhelming desire in her stomach with food.

When the bartender brought the Oreo Vodka, Tiantian drank all the wine in the glass in one go.

In the later stage, her cheeks turned red, like peach blossoms on her face, she directly took a third of the bottle of vodka left and directly drank from the bottle.

The crystal clear wine flowed down her snow-white neck, and the scene was very spectacular.

Bartender: "..."

Wouldn't it kill someone to drink like this?

This was vodka, it had great staying power!

"...ungh... thank you for your hard work, boss. Your French fries are quite delicious. I was a bit irritable when I spoke just now. I'm sorry, please don't be mad as me."

The figure of the bartender in front of her was blurred into three figures.

Tiantian narrowed her eyes in confusion, hoping to find the real person in the shadow clone technique and say a few polite words.

Bartender: "It's okay... Thank you very much for the compliment, and I'm not the boss, I'm the bartender... Do you need me to make a phone call for you, guest? Call a friend to pick you up?

It was obvious that she was so drunk that she couldn't even see clearly.

"No need." Tiantian said righteously.

She was so drunk that she jumped off the stool and stood swaying on the ground.

"Guest... please be careful!"

The bartender looked at Tiantian's swaying figure, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly extended his hand.

Tiantian was in high spirits and impassioned.

"Boss, let me tell you... just rest assured. I am indeed an adult... It was an accident that I didn't bring my ID. I have never been a liar since I was a child. I will definitely not lie to you. Don't have any burden in your heart... huh... why did you say I was lying to you when I had nothing to do... We are all adults... I think you are also a responsible person, so I will tell you the truth. I'm really grown up blablablabl..."

Bartender: "..."

This girl had a magical accent when she spoke, and because she drank too much, she began to speak slurred words. The bartender didn't hear what blablabla was said a lot after that.

Tiantian was in a daze and talked a lot of nonsense to the bartender, making a lot of useless claims.

That was to say, the bartender had no customers now, otherwise he would have become impatient after hearing her talk a lot of nonsense.

"I'm not bragging about how good I am at drinking."

Tiantian had a smile like that of a worldly expert and proudly touched her long hair.

"I think back then, when I was young and ignorant, I was deceived into a pyramid scheme. How do you think I escaped?"

"I drank with them and made them lie down one by one. A total of eight men and two women lay down after drinking. After that, I walked out of the front door and called the police."

Tiantian showed an elegant and decent smile, but this smile was quickly hidden by a pretentious air.

Everyone: "..."

Bartender: "..."

How chaotic was your youth?!

•

After three rounds of drinking, you really could boast about your awesomeness.

Tiantian went to the toilet on the way, and when she came back, she was really drunk. She carried her own bottle of alcohol, with a satisfied smile on her lips, and walked away like a lady with long steps.

Behind Tiantian, the bartender wiped the table stiffly.

Two kelp tears symbolizing relief flowed down his handsome cheeks.

Finally gone!

•

"Urgh—"

Tiantian twisted around and came to a dark alley, holding a wine bottle in one hand and supporting the wall with the other. She frowned and started to vomit.

"Urp- cough... ugh..."

The alcohol she had just drank and the food she had eaten all spewed out in a gush.

It was not as uncomfortable as imagined. After the vomiting feeling that had been accumulated in the body was truly vented, her whole body felt as if it had lightened up and her temples had been smeared with cooling oil. She felt much more comfortable, and even her head no longer hurt.

After Tiantian finished vomiting, she raised the wine bottle in her hand, rinsed her mouth with it, and spit out the contents in her mouth.

'Hey, feel comfortable.'

"...?"

'Wait, I couldn't remember who I went out with today.'

Tiantian leaned against the wall and narrowed her eyes in disbelief. She thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything.

She seemed to have come out with her friend just now and asked her friend to bring her a pack of cigarettes. Where was her friend?

The memory in her mind was like boiled curry, sticky and greasy, making it difficult to tell which was the soup and which was the meat.

•

"Junpei, act like a man! Don't dawdle."

"If you can't get money, why don't you just trade your body with me? I remember there are many perverted uncles in this area who like teenagers."

"Boss, look! Hahaha! This kid actually cried. Is it because it hurts too much?!"

"It's just a cigarette butt. The scar on your face is a man's romance. You actually cried like a woman, haha."

Not far away, noisy jeering and beatings and scoldings reached Tiantian's ears.

"..."

Tiantian stared at the horrible puddle of vomit on the ground, her pupils turning dully like a robot, staring straight at the direction of the sound.

Her back, which was leaning against the wall, straightened slightly and left the wall.

"Junpei, don't cry, wipe your tears, otherwise you won't be able to receive customers for a while, hahaha!"

Not far away, the unbearable curses continued.

Amidst the punches and kicks, the boy's choking voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

"..."

Tiantian stared at the bright light at the entrance of the alley for a while.

Subsequently.

She held the wine bottle with a ferocious expression and walked towards the place where the voice came from without hesitation.
