Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 83: Half a Cup of Milk Tea

Looking at Caffrey, who looked so shamelessly in front of her, Claude could only turn her white eyes towards Alexon: Is that what you call a surprise?

Instead of being a little self-aware, Ericsson was proud of himself for doing a great thing: "Surprise, didn't you think? Okay, Kaifani, I brought Claude here. You can entertain him. I'll go over there and see if I can disturb your whispering...”

“Hey...” Claude didn't grab Ericsson and saw him swinging his sleeve, disappearing into the crowd outside the tent without taking away Claude's slightest grudge.

The atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and forgive the passers-by for having become an old driver in their previous lives, but it would still feel uncomfortable in front of the girl.

“Cough, cough, hello, Kevin, I didn't expect to see you here.” Claude had nothing to say but think of a way to get out early and find Ericsson and beat him up.

Qing Xiu's girl blushed: “I'm glad to see you here too. Oh, by the way, do you want a drink? ”

Claude found herself holding a large wooden plate and dressed in a maid's dress: “You, here you are...”

“This is a temporary stall at the Mermaid's Tavern, where I'm working tonight as a temporary maid.” Instead of being shy about her clothes, the girl gave a generous introduction to her work.

“Oh, yeah.” Claudette was relieved that she didn't want to go out here on a date with herself, seeing as how much she wanted to. Ericsson was supposed to bring herself here knowing about her, just to get herself to meet her. After all, this Caffrey is a girl who loved to cross Little Claude before, and Erickson knows it very well.

“Let me introduce you to something you can drink here. I'm just a little thirsty.” Claude feels more natural at once, so take a break here, save it and squeeze it out in the crowd.

“Then sit over here. The tables are empty.” Kevin saw Claude for something to drink and a smile appeared on his face: “We have honey milk tea, honey flower tea, honey apple juice, honey cucumber juice, honey mixed fruit tea, honey blueberry juice, honey orange juice...”

“Why so much honey?” Claude sat down and asked strangely.

“'Cause tonight's the new night! The boss says we're going to have a sweet evening..."

Well, sweet night is honey, Claude was beaten by this simple answer: "Have a cup of honey milk tea. ”

“Um, okay, five sonars.” Kevin looked at Claude and waited for him to pay.

Five Sunars... Claude is silent, usually a Sunars cup of honey milk tea is five times the price all at once, and this evening is sweet enough. But Claude was still very happy to pay the bills, and when he entered the tent, he had to be slaughtered. Who told him to order?

“Thank you, just a moment, honey milk tea will be here shortly.” Kevin, who took the money, smiled like a flower and turned around to bring Claude some milk tea.

The tent is not small and is estimated to be about thirty square feet in size, except that half the area of the counter in the middle is used as the console. Then there was a small table for four around the counter, which was really similar to a tavern. There aren't many people in the tent, and a dozen tables are blocked by the counter. It looks lively. Several tables are seated, and Claude's side is much cooler. He's the only one who's got a table.

In a little while, Kevin came with honey milk tea.

“Your business looks bad. So many tables are empty. The tents over at the Temple of War Square were packed with people, and I heard that wheat wine was sold at a fair price...” Claude had nothing to talk about, and he still cared a little about the five Sunar high-priced milk teas.

Girl hips and laughs: “No, it's not. It's mostly early. A lot of people just came over for dinner. It's not going to be a drink yet. In more than an hour, you'll know that this place is going to be squeezed out of water. Expensive prices also allow young gentlemen to show off their luxurious and affluent homes in front of the ladies they just met, selling cheaper instead of having many customers come...”

Claude was a little surprised: "Oh, is that all you came up with? ”

“No, my sister said that she was entertaining the guests over there. ”

“That makes sense. We're impressed with the two of you.” Claude had a sip of honey milk tea: “Too sweet, Caffrey. How much honey did you add? ”

“Is it really sweet?” Girl winks her eyes wide: “I added two more spoons of honey to you, if you think it's too sweet, drink half of it first, I'll fill you with milk tea and flush it, so it won't be too sweet. ”

“Can we have a refill here?” Claude asked.

The girl shook her head with a smile: “No refill, just a special treat for you, who called you my first guest tonight...”

“Well, Kevin, can you get me an empty cup? ”

The girl took an empty cup to Claude, who poured half a cup of honey milk tea full of it into the empty cup.

“Can you fill this half cup with milk tea, please?” Claude said.

So the girl fills up her half cup of honey milk tea and brings it back: "What about this half cup on the table? ”

“Am I honored to offer this half cup of honey milk tea to my beautiful and kind Caffany classmate?” Claude said.

The girl didn't talk, she just drank half a cup of honey milk tea on the table: "Wow, that's really sweet. No, I want some milk tea too. ”

Then two people each drank a cup of honey milk tea there slowly in a small mouthful.

“It's so comfortable to have a warm cup of milk tea in such a cold weather.” The girl half-closed her eyes and said, "When I was a kid, my father used to put me on his shoulder and take my mother and sister to the Temple of the Mother Earth to wait for the New Year. I remember that my favorite thing was for my father to buy me a cup of milk tea to drink there slowly. I just didn't think that when I grew up I would sell it to others...”

“Uh... sorry to remind you of the past.” Claude, I'm sorry, but there's always some bad habits that can't be changed. If she hasn't crossed, at the bar at night, if she can remind a girl of the past and listen to her talk for an hour or two and pour her a few more drinks, she won't be lonely at night. But now in a different world, this body is not yet a minor, buy Kaifani that half cup of honey milk tea is just a natural habit of previous life, not a trick to play with...

“It's none of your business...” The girl held the milk tea and lost her eyes: “I always think about when I was a child, how wonderful it was, father, mother they were all here with us, life was so happy... but suddenly, Uncle Monaro brought the unfortunate news of my father, it felt like the sky collapsed... mother wrapped around the bed... after more than a year she also left us to find our father...

My sister held me and told me not to cry, but I just couldn't stop crying. Later, my sister went to work, I was scared to stay at home alone, always holding my bear toy and hiding in the corner crying... my sister wanted me to learn to be strong, said that my personality was too weak, so I would lose a lot in the future... so my sister asked me to go to study, read the book and I would understand a lot of reason, in the future I could live independently, find a good job, marry a good family... "

“You'll do what you want. You're a good girl. You're good, you're good, you're good, you're cute, you'll be happy in the future...” Claude was desperate, and he could only comfort himself. Girls revealing their hearts to you means having a crush on you. But Claude doesn't want to be in a relationship right now, and his mind is all about learning magic, and when he becomes a magician, he's going to be a man of the same wind to see the beauty and magnificence of this different world he travels through. He doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in this town, marry his wife and son and be a good man for the family...

Moreover, his father, Mr. Morsan, has arranged a life course for him to enlist in the army, and when he graduates next year, more than a year later, he will be travelling to the mainland of Nubicia to venture into his nominal godfather, the Governor of the Tyrsim area, the Viscount of what is his name. It would be a more cruel pain for this simple girl if she were to fall in love with Kevin by then.

“Thank you...” The girl glanced at Claude in disgrace: "It was really rude, but somehow I remembered when I was a kid after a sip of milk tea, and I told you a mess, which made you laugh...”

“It's okay, we're classmates, we should help each other.” Claude deliberately highlighted the identity of her classmates and wondered if girls could get in.

“I'll be there first. Someone's calling me over there.” The girl ran off in a hurry and left her on the table for half a cup of milk tea.

As Claude slowly drank the milk tea in his hand, there were more people in the tent. Girls are right, the men who come to Moonshine Square this evening are not short of money, especially in the face of the woman they just met, they are very happy to pay for the bill, or even what wine is expensive or something. At the same time, in order to take care of women to show their gentlemanhood, they often ordered different drinks, such as milk tea, so that their women could taste them at will...

A lot of the girls in the Guest started to get busy, walking back and forth through Claude without knowing how many times to say a word, only to give him an apologetic look.

Claude was about to leave, and it was a little embarrassing for one person to occupy a table, and his milk tea was finished.

But Claude didn't wake up, and Ericsson came with Verricolo, and when he saw half a cup of milk tea on the table, he wondered, "Who's Claude with, now?"

Claude said there wasn't much business here, so he bought Kevin a cup of milk tea.

“Looks like it's going well. You have to thank me for bringing you here.” Ericsson laughed proudly.

Claude ignored him and asked Villicro, "Where's your sister? Didn't your father tell you to follow her? ”

“She told me to get out of the way and don't get in the way of her looking for someone...” Véricolo shrugged helplessly and gave Claude an unexpected answer.

Eriksson laughed alongside: "Your father told you to keep an eye on your sister, don't lose her. He doesn't even think about it. Is that possible? Your sister is better than a mother bear, how could she possibly lose herself..."

Well, Velricolo's sister, if she looked behind her back, would think she was a tough guy. But she is a woman, and very clever, well-kept, even the father of the first hunter named White Deer Town can handle the posting, let alone the underage Verricolo. Her father often exclaimed, if this daughter is a man, then his family is ready to stay...

“Don't joke about Verricolo's sister. I'll buy you something to drink.” Claude hurried to the roundabout in case Verricolo went wild. The guy was afraid of his sister, but he couldn't stand to laugh at his sister.

Ericsson understood that, ordered a cup of honey blueberry juice, and Vericulo ordered a cup of honey brocade tea. Claude had a weird point this time, he ordered a cup of black tea and made a special statement not to add anything.

The three of them sat there and chatted to wait for the moment when the New Year bell rang.

“By the way, I find it strange at the Temple of War at night, why did our mayor, Baron Robert, get up and greet you outside when Sir Fox arrived? Isn't he a baron, Sir Fox is not officially a nobleman from the throne...” Claude raised a question of his own.

Erickson leaves his mouth open: “The Baron title of Mayor Robert was inherited, and his grandfather was declared Baron by Sterling IX for his civil war efforts. He can be hereditary for three generations, and his whole life will be over. And he didn't become a mayor by talent, but by spending money buying relationships, so the heads of the township's departments didn't obey him very well.

Unlike Sir Fox, he is the only national councillor in White Deer Town. The political resources at his disposal are not comparable to those of Mayor Robert, so although he is not a real nobleman, Mayor Robert, the fallen baron, is not qualified to recite them in front of him... ”

Claude nodded, turns out, no wonder Father didn't come in with Mayor LaRobert on that route they planned...

Soon after that, the New Year's bell finally rang. Whether it was the people in the tent or the people in the square, they shouted deaf cheers...

Claude has spent a year in this diverse world...
