Chapter 117 Three Drunkards
"Good afternoon... Xiangzi, you're here so early. Where's the doctor?"
It was the sweltering afternoon of summer, the clouds covering the sun and drifting away, a cycle that repeated itself over and over again. Kita closed his sun-scorched parasol, gently wiped the sweat from his brow, and opened the door to the starry sky.
At this time, Hong Xia, who was free and idle, was busy squeezing out the inspiration in her brain for writing lyrics. She and Liang, who was busy squeezing out the inspiration in her brain for composing music, came together and pondered over every word.
After all, there is only about a week left until the live performance. If EC can't write the song for everyone to practice within five days, they will be defeated by the mygo forces and disband on the spot.
The pressure is really great.
At this moment, Xiangzi took over Liang's job and salary, standing by the small window in the kitchen to make drinks.
The job of receiving customers is basically done by boss Xingge, after all, Xiangzi is really good at making drinks.
"A doctor..." Xiangzi pursed his lips and looked towards a small round table in the corner.
Kashiwa Sanhui and a purple-haired drunkard who was wearing a dress and earrings and whose attire and behavior were quite indecent were each drinking from a goblet.
Of course, it was not some low-quality beer with a strong smell, but the Austrian white wine brought by Baihe Sanhui. It was the kind of good wine with a pleasant fruity aroma, and a lady might not get drunk even if she drank a whole bottle.
Even the boss Xingge, who originally had a lot of objections, made an exception and allowed Baihe Sanhui to drink that kind of good wine in a corner where the smell of alcohol would not be everywhere after tasting it.
According to Kashiwa Sanhui's original words - "I just want to have a quick drink and take a nap here. If you mind, I can go to the storage room or the bathroom."
This is indeed the case. Baihe Sanhui had only drunk less than half of the glass in his hand, while the drunk woman opposite him had already finished her third glass of white wine with cheap beer. It was such a waste.
"...You can drink slowly, Ms. Hiroi Kikuri. I'm going to sleep. Ms. Sound Engineer, please move aside. I want to lie down next to the stage and sleep."
Kashiwa Sanhui stood up feeling a little dizzy, pushed away the sound engineer who was quietly playing with her phone, and leaned against the stage steps to fall asleep.
This is considered good drinking behavior among us alcoholics.
"Hey... I mean this bottle of good wine... hiccup, you gave it to me, right?" Upon hearing this, the purple-haired drunkard quickly grabbed the bottle of good wine on the table and held it in his arms.
"Well, whatever you like... huh..."
Kashiwa Sanhui fell asleep.
"...Well, the doctor actually doesn't drink too much. He just goes to sleep when he's drunk."
Out of curiosity, Liang squatted down and poked Kashiwa Sanhui's cheek. It was red and hot, and felt good, so he pinched it quite boldly.
Although Ryo was quickly dragged away by Xiangzi by the back of the collar, Kita took advantage of the opportunity and began to draw little turtles on the face of the sleeping Kashiwa Miki.
"There's nothing I can do. The school suddenly put a lot of pressure on us." Xiangzi was quite open-minded and helped Baihe Sanhui to tidy up his scattered hair.
Looking at the peaceful sleeping face of Kashiwa Sanhui, Xiangzi said in a daze.
"The doctor has suddenly become our principal... Even though he's acting, the pressure is definitely no less."
"Eh, hey, hey?" Kita exclaimed in surprise, "Principal? Why? No matter how I think about it, it's not the turn of the health teacher to sit in this seat, right?"
The boss of Xingge usually stopped by to get a drink and answered this question by the way: "Don't think that sitting in a high position is a good thing. It's very tiring."
"There are more responsibilities, more things to worry about, more people to take care of, and definitely more pressure—the adult world doesn't like so much troublesome work."
Having said this, everyone sighed silently for Kashiwa Sanhui.
In fact, there is a part of the content that Xiangzi did not say.
For example, when Sanhui Baihe and I went to the Impression Space to kill monsters and vent our anger, we accidentally hurt a friendly shadow and were scolded and kicked out by Miss Teutonic.
For example, I went to Rising to find the boss Chiyo, but found that the boss was drunk and sleeping in the room, and the clerk was the only one running the business in the store.
For another example, the student council president, Tsugumi Hazawa, accepted applications from four bands from various academies without authorization to hold a joint live performance at the bonfire party, and even senior bands who had already entered university came to join in the fun.
"This is for adults... Hello, what would you like to drink?"
Just as he was sighing, Xiangzi suddenly noticed a stranger pushing the door open and entering, so he quickly got to work to entertain the guest.
"I smell some good wine...do you sell any alcohol here?"
The person who came to try on the clothes was a tall girl with silver hair that faintly shone with golden luster. She was dressed very handsomely and was carrying a silver-gray guitar that looked quite new.
As soon as the girl came in, she sniffed around and finally set her sights on the bottle of white wine in Miss Ju Li's arms, her eyes lighting up.
"Miss, are you selling this bottle of wine? Even if it's only half the price, I'll buy it at full price!"
……
"Ah! Ahh!"
Wearing a convenience store work uniform, Rencai couldn't help scratching her nose, and a hint of doubt flashed in her blue eyes.
"I always feel like someone is doing something bad behind my back... Hello, would you like to heat up your lunch?"
……
In the end, the silver-haired drunkard and the purple-haired drunkard ended up drinking together, and Xiangzi didn't feel comfortable accepting money from this cool but badly behaved older sister who called herself "Heyuan Mu Taoxiang". He just took 500 yen from her and served her a cup of barley, lotus seeds and white fungus soup that he cooked himself.
I originally planned to cook it for Baihe Sanhui to help him sober up, but I didn't expect that Baihe Sanhui drank alcohol just to take a nap, so I didn't use it.
"So sweet... Miss, you put too much sugar!"
That's perfect, that's what the doctor likes.
"Huh... Ha! Eh... Well, this may be a little abrupt... but are you guys in a band?"
Taoxiang took a sip of white wine and shouted out happily. Then, she felt a little embarrassed by everyone's gaze and just found a random topic to get by.
"Yes, me and the girls over there, and this man lying there sleeping."
"Hey... this guy is really lucky, he's surrounded by beautiful girls."
This sentence was spoken to himself so Xiangzi didn't hear it.
Then Momoka quietly plugged her guitar into the speakers - in fact, it wasn't that no one noticed, but the sound engineer Miss Pa thought that her precious space was occupied by Kashiwa Sanhui so she didn't stop her.
hum-
A super cool strumming of the strings woke up Kashiwa Sanhui who was sleeping soundly, and he looked around in a daze.
The white wine in my glass is still sparkling.
"...Xiangzi, what time is it now?"
"It's three in the morning, and Boss Xingge has been open for a long time just for you."
You're lying quite shamelessly, Toyokawa Shoko-san.
