As the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you don't need to bear it anymore.

So, after being 'accidentally' touched a certain part for the third time tonight, I raised my hand with a vein in my forehead and knocked the table in front of the other party.

The flying table rotated 360 degrees, and then hit the ground with a heavy bump. The porcelain bowls, plates, wine bottles placed on it were smashed safely, and a few drops of hot food soup splashed on the back of the feet.

I turned my face away, stared at the perpetrator ferociously, and gritted my teeth in my heart.

Although I pay attention to being harmonious and making money when I go out, I also know that it is inevitable that I will be taken advantage of. After all, my appearance is really eye-catching, and now the place where I work is very mixed.

But!This girl won't change after repeated teaching!Counting tonight, I worked less than a month at work, and the number of times I met a hippie smiling face with hands and feet, this one in front of me is at the top of the list.

First of all, he was not clear about what he said, and when he was severely rejected by me, he made more progress. I don't know if it was because he couldn't understand people's words or he couldn't read people's faces. Now he didn't notice that my eyes on him became more and more fierce.

All kinds of things have come down, and the anger accumulated in my stomach has reached a critical point. If it weren't for the fact that money is really tight, and this land is new, I can't find good money ideas...

As a result, all the patience was in vain tonight.

This girl actually used the alcohol to touch Lao Zi's chest!More than once!

If you endure it any longer, you will be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but I am not.

……

The other party was sitting on the chair, his expression was a little dull, maybe he hadn't had time to react, of course, when he came over just now, it seemed that he wanted to take the tray for me with good intentions, but in fact he was almost at the height of the crab below his neck, and the hand that succeeded was also stopped in mid-air .

The scene was suddenly quiet, and countless lines of attention suddenly focused on the surrounding area, and the glaring gaze of the boss I couldn't afford to offend was clearly included in the many piercing eyes.

Tsk-tsk, I raised my hand to remove a certain paw that didn't know whether it was intentional or stiff and refused to evacuate, pulled out a (ghostly) smile, and said softly, "Oh my guest, you are so strong when you are drunk~ "

I squinted at the mess on the ground, and made a preliminary estimate of the loss in my mind. The corner of my eye twitched, I raised my voice, and quickly shirked the responsibility. "It's terrible to throw the table up casually~"

I don't need the salary, and I can quit this job, but if I have to pay more to go out... Thinking of this, I stared at the culprit with a little bit of unkindness in my eyes.

If you can't be good tonight, there will be no pressure to follow around with a sack or something.

After the words were finished, the other party raised his eyes to meet my gaze in a daze, and the two looked at each other. After a few seconds, his lips moved and he didn't know what he was thinking, his face changed slightly, and finally he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, I smiled more softly. It was my fault that I couldn't hold back and flipped the table, but that was justifiable, right?So compensation or something hahaha~...

After a while, the boss hurried to the scene, first pulled me aside with one hand, looked down at the floor and then turned his face away suddenly, his cheeks were trembling, obviously distressed by the loss.

"Thousands and hundreds of years, you—" The boss's voice seemed to crawl out of hell, and against his expression as dark as a pan, it seemed even more ferocious.

I coughed a few times with guilt, looked up at the sky and the earth, looked around at the dark night and windy environment, struggled a few times in my heart, and finally lost the battle under the boss's sharp stare.

Withdrawing my wandering eyes, I looked at the boss, and I tried to put on a sincere expression, "Then what..."

There was a difficult pause after I opened my mouth, and then I continued to say with 12 melancholy, "I resign, and you don't have to count this month's salary to me."

The words in my mouth were beautiful, but in fact there was a villain in my heart who was biting the handkerchief and writhing in pain. I groaned a few times, and looked over the fat boss, gloomyly gouging out the bastard who caused me to lose money.

If I had known that I shouldn't have lifted the table just now, I should have thrown it directly on the girl's forehead, what a waste!

Maybe it was because the fierce light in my eyes was too obvious at this moment, as if the girl sitting dazed like a statue finally came to her senses, she first jumped up from the chair as if on fire, and then said, "I accidentally put the table... "

Speaking of which, he quickly glanced at his feet, raised his eyes, showed a choked expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times before continuing, "I will be responsible for the compensation, please don't embarrass Miss Chitose."

Hearing this, the eyes of the boss, who was originally as heavy as water, lit up, his expression changed at the speed of light, and he instantly switched from Grandet to the friendly and friendly uncle band, and his gaze shifted a few degrees, "Then please wait a moment for me to calculate the loss—"

While talking about the boss, he rubbed his hands, and the eight big teeth in his grinning mouth gleamed.

……

Taking advantage of the gap when the boss squatted down to pick up all the objects, I took a few steps back to make room, and took a look at the person who had the courage to bear the burden. Somewhat surprised.

how to say?This development seems... somewhat unexpected?

The other party readily took the responsibility on me, but it made me wonder. The main reason is that he is too easy to talk, and his style of painting is obviously wrong. I thought I would fight on the spot like this guy who has been pestering others for nearly half a month. ~Now it looks like he wants to calm things down?Is it a sudden enlightenment or do you want to settle accounts after autumn?

After quickly calculating all the possibilities, I turned my head and began to look around.

From the time when the table was lifted to when the boss came over, many spectators gathered nearby. Although they did not reach the level of the inner three floors and the outer three floors, the amount of attention cast on this place was quite considerable.

This is a restaurant that is actually a food stall, and most of the customers dine in the open air, which leads to people on the street watching when something happens.

More importantly, it is now at its peak.

My part-time job here is divided into two periods of business, noon and [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening, one for lunch and one for supper.

Maybe it's because this place is special?It is very lively around the clock. Even in the middle of the night and early in the morning, people can be seen casually walking around the streets and alleys, and they are not night owls, because their biological clocks are reversed due to professional needs.

I heard from a colleague who works during the day that lunch is very busy, but supper time is more leisurely. The former customers are hungry, while the latter are mostly people who fill their stomachs after work to pass the time.

What is the so-called food and clothing and thinking about it, and the so-called food and clothing and nothing to do, it is inevitable to think about some extra things, and the night is naturally a high incidence of various accidents.

I have some personal reasons that I have no time during the day, so I can only work at night, so I have more unpleasant experiences. The original reason for my patience is that I am new here, and the place where fish and dragons mix has the benefits of mixing fish and dragons...

But forget it now~ Anyway, I couldn't resist flipping the table, and I'll go home earlier when it's over.

……

The boss has already calculated the loss, and reached a friendly negotiation with the person who needs to bear the responsibility by the way.

Not long after, the boss took a thick round of tickets, and kindly and amiably sent off the guest who didn't know if he was distressed. When the other party moved away from the crowd and disappeared quickly, the boss who watched him leave smiled so relieved.

The bustle ended, and the sightlines from the surroundings gradually decreased. Those who should have eaten continued to eat, and those who passed by here continued to stroll forward. After a while, the congestion in the vicinity gradually became cleared.

Immediately afterwards, the boss turned his head abruptly, "Thousands of years——"

"Ah~ Then I'll take my leave too." Stuffing the apron that I took off earlier in the morning, I turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

Turning a deaf ear to the voice of the boss behind me, I buried my head and walked quickly, and soon bid farewell to the place where I had been working for a month, and quietly blended into the street that was still full of people coming and going at night.

I didn't have the time to talk about what the boss wanted to do. Once the incident of flipping the table came out, I didn't plan to continue doing it. It would save trouble if I resigned and left.

I don’t have enough money, but it’s not that I can’t do without this job. Part-time work is just a stopgap measure. After all, this area is really unfamiliar. I have moved here for less than two months. I go out at night to find something to do, mostly because I want to know more about it. Here's the situation.

Then, the more I got to know me, the more melancholy I became. The reason is nothing more than the difficulty of supporting a family~ There are better ideas for quick money, but there are many obstacles to implement them.

Part-time jobs are unstable, and I want to find a long-term job but the major is not the right one. Combined with the special humanities of this place, heresy and the like can be rested on the sidelines.

This boundary is an island, by the way, its scientific name [Marinford], the prefix seems wrong?Uh, I don't read much, but the meaning is almost the same.

Row upon row of buildings on the island are composed of military fortresses and towns. Many warships are moored in the bay. The size of the island is unknown, and more than [-]% of the resident population are professional soldiers.

In addition, it has another name: Navy Headquarters.

……

To be honest, I was already terrified when I figured out where I went three years ago, so there is no need to be too entangled in scientific names and nicknames.

So far, there are only two things I need to worry about, one is the difficulty of making money, and the other is...

The part-time job is more than ten minutes away from the residence, which is only one street away. In addition, I drove all the way at the speed of being chased by dogs. Not long after I turned the corner of the alley, I saw the courtyard door of the rented house.

Most of the buildings in Marineford are for military use, and the few residential areas that have been separated, deducted for commercial purposes, leave very little area for the people to live in.

Fortunately, there are also very few people in Marineford who have nothing to do with the military, so they moved here two months ago, and the process of renting a house was smooth.

It is true that every inch of land is expensive, but under the condition that the owner of the shop can apply for the residence of the family members accompanying the army, the civilian housing will not be so tense~ A two-story building, three families live in it, an independent bathroom and kitchen, only The courtyard must be shared. The rent is expensive, but it is worth the money spent.

Entering the courtyard, I took out the key, and before I fully opened the door, I heard... laughter coming from the house?It's a stranger, with a rough and crazy voice, he seems to be overjoyed, and it sounds a little bit, (⊙_⊙)?

Have guests at home?Confused, I pushed open the door.

The laughter in the room stopped suddenly, and the next moment, I met the eyes of the person who was facing the door.

There are people sitting around the sofa in the living room, and the guy who meets me is a guy I don’t know, male, around forty by visual inspection, maybe older?After all, some people's age cannot be judged by their appearance.

He has jet-black hair, with a few traces of silver on the sideburns, thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, capable and capable, and his eyes are also jet-black, staring at people with a few traces of scrutiny.

……

After a brief silence, I nodded at the black-haired man, turned my gaze to another younger man beside me, and finally focused on the person whose back was facing the door.

Closing the door behind my back, I stepped on my feet and walked forward slowly. As the distance got closer, the back of the target became more and more tense.

After a few steps to the side, I turned my head, stared at it quietly for a while, "hehe~" chuckled twice, and then I saw this man's hands shaking in mid-air.

He suddenly put the porcelain cup in his hand on the coffee table in front of him, raised his face, and smiled all over his face, "Bai, Baisui, you are back~"

It's a pity that no matter how warmly he smiled, he couldn't hide the guilty conscience on his face.

I raised my eyebrows and asked very gently, "Drink?"

"Uh uh... uh absolutely not! It's just...just..." The person bathed in my stare shrank his shoulders, wrinkled his whole face, hesitated several times, and finally lowered his head in frustration, "Have a drink, not much ,real!"

"Hey~ She is the little girl you mentioned, right?" The voice that broke the deadlock came from the black-haired man opposite, and the voice was as loud as I heard just now, "What's the matter with drinking? Girl, you It's too strict."

When I glanced over from the corner of my eyes with anger, he was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh violently again, laughing happily, "Hahaha~ he's full of momentum~"

……

For a moment, the only sound left in the room was the wild laughter of the black-haired man, as if seeing some joke, the corners of his mouth grinned to the base of his ears, and there were several more wrinkles. Fortunately, he had a tough appearance, otherwise the semicircular scar at the corner of his eye would have appeared. I don't know how to be hideous.

After a while, the black-haired man stopped laughing and said again, "Little girl, it's normal for men to drink alcohol. Your father and I haven't seen each other for almost ten years."

There was a pause at this point, the man looked at me strangely for a few times, then turned away, "Durand, I remember you are not married, right? Where did such a daughter come from? Could it be a robbery?"

"Karp!" The person being questioned became furious.

I pressed my palm on the shoulder of the person sitting next to me, and suppressed his roar when he saw that he was about to explode. Then I lowered my head and said softly, "It's normal for a man to drink alcohol, but I remember today..."

Hiding the truth that would make him twitch, I pursed the corners of my mouth, thought for a while and then said, "I'll prepare tea, you and the guests continue to chat." After finishing speaking, I turned around and walked towards the kitchen, ready to go Get some hot tea for your guests.

The living room was quiet for a while and then started talking again. The loudest one was still the black-haired man called 'Karp', who seemed to be laughing, with an occasional voice mixed in to comfort Karp not to laugh. Going too far?

I sighed, and opened the door of the locker to take out the tea set and the tea I brought back the other day. The black-haired man was actually right.

I noticed just now that tonight's guest and the old man have a good friendship. Since they are good friends who haven't seen each other for nearly ten years, it's not normal to talk about drinking and talking.

But the old man is not in good health. I took him to the hospital again today. After a series of diagnosis and treatment, the doctor strictly ordered him to stop drinking, in order to prevent the liver from being too burdened.

In fact, every doctor has warned about the alcohol abstinence order, but the old man doesn't like to listen to it.

He drank like hell, and sometimes I couldn't control him. Until today, the doctor said that if he drank any more, he might deteriorate much faster than expected, so I became strict.

The results of several diagnoses at the Marineford Naval Hospital are the same as those of the previous hospitals, but... I am not willing to be reconciled until the end.

……

Hiss——The scorching pain from my fingertips shocked me back to my consciousness, but I didn’t notice that the teapot was filled with too much water when I looked down. paws.

Then I tidied up again, and finally I took the tea tray and walked out of the kitchen slowly, intending to replace the wine with cheap tea, so that the three in the living room can continue to chat happily.

Since it is an old friend and old friendship, it is inevitable to talk a lot when we meet again after a long absence. Although I don't want the old man to be in a high mood and have a night talk with friends later, but I look at that 'Karp'...

Seems like it might be able to help?

The old man has a meek temperament, just for fear of annoying others, and he is unwilling to contact his old friends when he returns to Marineford. For me, his friends who are still working are some resources.

If it wasn't for a little bit of hope, I wouldn't make trouble for the old man to leave his hometown and go to this place far away. The long-distance trek is really harmful to the old man's body, but I can't help it. If that guess is true, only those who go far will have life.

It is extremely depressing to be helpless, and what is even more hateful is that I have to keep silent. Maybe the old man is aware of something. After all, he comes from the army, and his vigilance does not disappear even after retirement.

I can't tell the truth, because I have no real evidence, and I have to take a risk.

Since waking up three years ago, the old man and I have depended on each other for life. He is my only relative here. If it is for him, I will do whatever I want without hesitation.
