I really only stop

The next moment, a burst of darkness shrouded Strom's head.

Chapter 318

"Hmm~ No matter how many times you drink it, the guild's sweet milk tea is never boring~"

Sitting on the extremely delicately decorated bar counter, Lu Xi took a sip of the sweet milk tea that was incompatible with the bar environment in the posture of holding a cocktail:

"Brother, you may not know it when you first came to Rhine City. Although the guild bar is a good place for adventurers to drink most of the time, the sweet milk tea here also has a special flavor~"

"Thank you."

Somewhat cautiously, he took the milk tea handed over by the bartender without any surprise. The little brother glanced at something beside him, and said hesitantly:

"but--"

"However, the sweet fruit tea here is also delicious!"

Taking over the conversation without any sense of disobedience, Cupid gracefully stirred the fruit tea in front of him with a small silver spoon for mixing coffee:

"Especially this snake cranberry fruit tea, which is bright in color and looks similar to some kind of high-grade cocktail, but in fact, no matter how much you drink, you won't get drunk - secretly tell you, if you get acquainted with the bartender lady, here When drinking with other people, she can secretly replace your cocktail with this kind of fruit tea~"

"I'm not very good at drinking, but thank you for your little trick."

Nodding in response to Curly's introduction, the little brother glanced at something beside him that was trying to wriggle towards the exit:

"Speaking of—"

"—Speaking of which, Cupid, you had previously said that you would stop me from drinking, but you are the one who poured me the most ruthless drink!"

Smiling and patted Cupid on the shoulder, Lu Xi sighed helplessly:

"To be a human being, you must be trustworthy. As [good brothers (accent)] on the same front, we should help each other."

"Yeah, you're right."

Cupid nodded deeply: "After all, we are all [lonely (accented accent)] poor people, if we don't support each other, we will be squeezed out of the runway called life by [Current Charge] in an instant. ~"

"Pfft! Bah, bah, bah! You two are too much! Am I not a good brother?"

Finally biting the stuffed apple and spitting it out, Strom, who was tied up for some reason, screamed with grief on his face:

"My heart hurts, everyone! I thought that everyone would lend a helping hand for each other's difficulties, and offer best wishes for each other's happiness, but after hearing the news of my marriage, you actually treated me like this Is it?!"

"No, our purpose is just to calm you down a little."

Lu Xi said seriously:

"Of course we're delighted to see you're getting married, but that doesn't conflict with the fact that we're tying up the curls of our smug tails with rope."

"But!"

In order to get rid of the current predicament of a sheep being caught in a tiger's mouth, Strom had an idea, and the expression on his face fell slightly:

"...But, I, Sturm, are the only people I can talk to. It is obviously a major event in life like marriage, and you are my best friends. Two happy things are intertwined, which should have bred a happy life. More beauty is right—but! Why are you doing this to me!!"

"This……"

Seeing Stron's slightly red eye circles, the honest brother Broca moved with compassion, and looked persuasively at Lucy and Cupid who were drinking tea calmly:

"I think it's not easy for him, why not—"

"—Don't be fooled, little brother."

"?"

Seeing the doubt in the little brother's eyes, Lu Xi pouted at Stron:

"The one who is tied to the ground can perfectly play the role of [Emperor Capital Idol]'s acting skills based on the image just from the novel, and the dialogue just now is definitely from which unscrupulous novel he saw."

Cupid on the side added in a timely manner:

""Me and Her and Her White Album", I just read this book a few days ago."

"Tsk, have you been seen through?"

With a soft tut, under Broca's shocked gaze, Strom, who was still in distress just now, simply showed his true colors:

"Don't just drink tea over there all the time! I'm thirsty too! War criminals also have the basic right to live!"

"Well, here."

Lu Xi handed him a glass of ice water—it seemed to be the same glass he had just drank.

Strong: "..."

------------

After Brother Curly cried for a while, Lu Xi and Cupid still let him go out of fear of being surrounded by too many adventurers.

"Just kidding, do you really want to marry such an outstanding person?"

Helped Stron to order a cup of milk tea like his own, Lu Xi looked at him with some surprise:

"Where are the fans of the imperial capital? Don't you want them all?"

Single push to get married is like a bolt from the blue to most fans.Even if he is not worried about some radicals doing bad things, according to Strom, who cares so much about what others think of him, can he accept that most of the fans in the imperial capital are sad for his marriage?

"I...I haven't announced this matter yet."

Apparently thinking of the same thing as Lu Xi, Strom's expression looked a little gloomy:

"The person fans are looking forward to is me and not me. Although it is a bit incredible in the eyes of others, I feel that I have some kind of [obligation]."

"Hey, just like Lu Xi said, you guys care too much about [responding to other people's expectations]."

Patting Strom's shoulder understandingly, Fenmao sighed:

"This is a good thing, but before that, you have to be able to respond to the expectations of [the person you expect]."

"Um……"

Strom turned his head to look at the werewolf brother who was obviously not used to the sweetness of milk tea:

"Brother Werewolf, what do you think?"

"I don't know much about you. I shouldn't have said these things, but..."

After hesitating for a while, Broca said seriously:

"It's true that we don't treat everyone around us equally. At some point, it's not a bad thing to favor people who are closer to us-this is my experience from personal experience."

In the case of insufficient strength, the consequence of both sides trying to balance is very likely to be nothing.In the Cangying incident, the younger brother deeply understood this point.

"That's it, thank you everyone, I understand."

Hearing the dullness in the younger brother's tone, Sturm, who was sensitive to the hidden past that he didn't know, didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere on the bar was a bit dull because of this.

"——However, curly-haired boy, you really came here to show off your wife to us, right?"

Seeing that now is the time to adjust the atmosphere, Lu Xi deliberately amplified his voice, and lightly punched the stunned Strom:

"It's really free, you, don't you need to prepare for marrying the eldest lady of the Duke's family? You even came here wearing a white wedding suit, you've clearly written 'show off' on your face."

"No! It's not like that!"

As if he had just remembered the purpose of coming here today, Strom was shocked all over, and said hesitatingly:

"Actually, today...is the rehearsal day for my wedding."

"I... actually came here secretly..."

Chapter 319 Brother Curly's Affair

"—Sneaked here?!?!"

The quiet and elegant atmosphere at the bar was once again broken by the bluffs of the men. The bartender, who was carefully wiping the goblet, frowned slightly, and made up her mind to throw them all out the door if they were noisy again.

Not noticing the [disgusted.jpg] eyes of the bartender lady, Lu Xi and the others looked at Strom in front of them as if they were looking at a new breed of monkey.

【stare--】

Feeling hairy from being stared at by these guys, Strom slapped the table:

"Hey! You guys are enough! What the hell is the look in the eyes of the new breed of monkey?!"

"It's a purely self-made metaphor. If I insist on it, it is probably a mixture of [Wow, scum] and [Why is this guy so lucky], full of novel disdain for curly-haired scum + yes The sympathetic look of Miss Latina, the daughter of the duke."

Taking a careful look at Stron in front of him, Lu Xi sighed with emotion:

"Wow, scumbag."

"Say it again?!"

Feeling that his personal dignity has been questioned, the curly hair clasped Lu Xi's shoulders tightly:

"Listen to my explanation! The reason why I sneaked out from the wedding rehearsal is all because of your broken magic text message?!"

Lucy:

"……what?"

---------------

On the bar counter of the guild bar, the four men frowned at the text message on the Stron magic communicator, and fell into a silent silence.

【I'm here to play with you. I'll arrange all the delicious food and drinks. The accommodation doesn't need to be expensive. Just make do with your house. I'll bring you some specialties when I come back—by LuXi】

"...I don't think there's anything wrong with it?"

After reading it several times, Cupid rubbed his chin uncertainly:

"It's just a text message telling a friend that I'm coming to visit. It's ordinary and unremarkable."

"Well, I think so too."

Looking at the content of the text message, the little brother frowned:

"If I have to pick something wrong, it's probably because the wording of this text message is relatively casual. Considering Mr. Strong's status as an aristocrat, the family may think that he has made dubious friends, right?"

"Impossible!"

Before Stron spoke, Lu Xi shook his head again and again:

"Although I haven't had a direct face-to-face communication with General Storm, neither his teammate Mr. Memphis nor President Fallon are the kind of people who like to stick to words. With such a headed family, how could there be such a thing in Strom's family?" idea!"

If you really want to do the math, Lu Xi, the main high-ranking officer of the empire, has actually met at the luncheon with Strom, and has had many cordial and friendly exchanges with the most core prime minister, Mephis. .

He really couldn't imagine that, as a member of the middle-aged group, General Stormwind, who had such a good relationship with Mephis, Faron, and even the current emperor, would be the kind of hypocritical guy who likes to engage in literary inquisition.

"Of course it's not my family's problem."

After fully waking up from the gag in the morning, Strom, who realized the seriousness of the matter, looked a little gloomy:

"It's Latina, she's very upset about some parts of the text message - you don't know, she's terribly angry!"

"Latina? Your future wife?"

Unexpectedly, the curly-haired brother would give such an answer, Lu Xi hissed in confusion:

"That shouldn't be the case. I just said that I wanted to come to you to eat and drink, but I didn't drag you to find a girl in an indecent place. What kind of anger is your Latina?"

"...I said, don't you really know?"

Hearing Lu Xi's question, Strom looked up at him faintly, his eyes filled with subtle emotions of unknown meaning.

"Should I know?"

Lucy shook his head vigorously.

"..."

Sighing lightly, after a moment of silence, Strom just said two words dullly and briefly:

"[Shi Xijiao], [Strona and Miss Lucy's Lily Version]."

As if receiving some kind of signal that only each other could understand, Lu Xi trembled as if struck by lightning, and looked at Strom with shock and clarity:

"Made, I understand."
