Chapter 43: Olivia's Departure
Alan kept signaling for help to Stanton and Yupanki, who were busy at the table beside him, but was completely ignored.
He turned to the mayor and the administrative officer but was also rejected.
In the end, he looked helplessly at Uncle Wayne and the others, only to see a silly smile and a hand gesture of encouragement...
Alan could not understand why the atmosphere between the three women had suddenly become so terrible. He had just mustered up the courage to stand up and leave, but under the three warning gazes, he could only silently sit down again.
After a long silence, Alan tried to recall the jokes he knew, hoping that it could ease the stiff atmosphere.
"Ahem..." Alan coughed dryly and drew their attention to him. Instantly, the pressure he was under increased tremendously.
"Let me tell you something funny. One day, my friend and I walked to a fork in the road, and we said our goodbyes with a song, 'I'll send you away, a thousand miles away.' And so, we parted ways a thousand miles later. Hahaha... Haha... Haha..."
Alan burst out laughing at his own joke after telling it. The three girls all looked on expressionlessly. The more he laughed, the less confident he became, and he could only stop awkwardly.
"Isn't it funny? No?"
Alan asked carefully and got three rolling eyes.
"It's okay. If this wasn't funny, let me tell you another one."
"One morning, a man woke up drunk and told his wife: 'There is a ghost in our house. Last night, when I went to the toilet after returning home, the light turned on by itself when I opened the door. There was also a gust of cold wind.' His wife slapped him and scolded, 'You peed in the fridge again!'"
This time, after saying that, Alan did not laugh out loud like before. Instead, he observed for their reactions. In the end, he still got three unimpressed faces with a tinge of disgust and doubt.
"Impossible. Why aren't you all laughing? It's such a funny joke. One last one, I don't believe that you guys won't laugh!"
Alan was puzzled. His competitive spirit was also aroused.
"A young man went to see the Zen master and complained, 'My girlfriend always breaks up with me. I hope master will give me some advice.' The Zen master smiled and without saying anything, he grabbed a chicken and wrapped a string around its feet. When he pulled the string, the chicken immediately fell. The chicken struggled and continued to walk. The Zen master tugged the string again, and the chicken fell again. This repeated eight times. The young man seemed to have realized something. 'Master, are you asking me to play hard to get and use a long line to catch the big fish?' The Zen master laughed. 'Young man, I'm asking you to f*ck off.' Hahaha..."
After saying that, Alan laughed out loud confidently. He was extremely confident in this joke but in the end...
Not only was their corner silent, but even the guests in the tavern also seemed to have been hit by the pause button.
"AHAHAHA..."
"Clap, Clap Clap..."
The entire tavern's guests suddenly burst into a peal of earth-shattering laughter.
Alan turned around and looked around the tavern with a troubled expression. He thought to himself nervously, "What's wrong with them? Did they hear everything I said just now?"
He couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Are you a fool?"
Sofia gave Alan a fatal blow with a cold face.
"Ugh..."
Alan held his chest with a dejected look.
After Alan's embarrassing display, the tavern resumed its lively atmosphere. Even the feeling of hostility between the three women disappeared, and the atmosphere on the table became much better.
"Go, bring your new wine over and let me have a taste," Sofia requested domineeringly.
He had never agreed to Orina's request to drink this wine before. After all, how could he let anyone drink such a strong wine if they couldn't hold their liquor?
But when faced with Sofia's intimidation, Alan could only obey. He ran back to the bar counter to get the wine.
"Phew... I was scared to death. What the hell are these three women doing? This is the real Shura Hell..."
"Little Alan!"
"Ah!"
Alan, who was hiding under the bar counter, kept muttering to himself to ease the fear in his heart. But he was almost scared out of his wits when he was suddenly called out...
"Uncle Wayne, are you trying to scare me to death...?"
Alan patted his chest to calm his beating heart.
"Hehe, you're still a little inexperienced. You're already scared to this extent by just three of them. Back then, I faced more than a dozen women all on my own..." Wayne bragged to Alan proudly.
"That's enough. I don't believe it if you say anymore. You should go back to your table. I'll be heading back now, those three ladies are really hard to please..."
After saying that, Alan quickly left the bar with the wine.
Alan ran back to Orina's side and poured wine for the three ladies.
"Come, give it a try. This is my new wine, whiskey. You must drink it slowly and carefully."
Then, things gradually went out of Alan's control. He was once again held in a chokehold by Sofia and forced to gulp down the wine.
No matter how well they were chatting before, after drinking a little wine, everything changed. The three ladies, who did not have much tolerance for alcohol, began to lose control...
Olivia's face was red. "Sister Orina, what did you do to get your breasts to this size?"
Orina groped her left breast and squeezed it.
Alan eyed the soft mound that changed in its shape under Orina's merciless movements. He felt that all the blood in his body was rushing towards a certain part of his lower body.
"Huh? What methods do I need to enlarge this thing? Girl, I'm born with this, you..."
Orina lowered her head and glanced at Olivia's flat chest. "You have no chance. You've passed the age of taking supplements. This is how you'll be for the rest of your life," Orina said regrettably as she said the upsetting words to Olivia.
Sofia sneered disdainfully. "Heh, you're just a little girl with a flat chest. You still want to compete with our Queen for a man?"
The moment these words came out.
Olivia could not take it anymore. "So what if I have small breasts? I have a slender waist and long legs. My beauty is unparalleled in the entire Oreste Empire. You milk cow! Don't look down on us who have small breasts."
"Bang --"
When Sofia heard that this little girl still dared to talk back, she was instantly energized. She slammed the wine glass in her hand on the table and stood up. She lifted one leg up on the stool. "Come, let me see how long your long legs are."
Alan was drunk and dizzy. He did not quite understand what the three of them were trying to do.
Sofia's words started a war between the three women. In the end, Alan was forced to choose the one with the best figure.
However, Alan, being a useless guy, only knew how to laugh foolishly. He could not say a word.
That night, the one who helped to clean up the mess was Yupanki.
Alan was already completely drunk and unconscious. The last scene he remembered before the blackout was of the three women fondling each other's bodies and him being buried in their chests again.
As for the reactions of the customers in the tavern, Alan did not have the energy to care about it. He only heard the jeering voices of Uncle Wayne and the others, as well as the laughter of many people before he passed out.
..
After experiencing the chaos between the four of them the night before, Alan was very dispirited for a period of time.
In the tavern, the customers who witnessed Alan's embarrassing appearance that day always liked to tease him when they came to drink recently, especially uncle Wayne and the others.
At first, Alan still felt embarrassed, but after hearing the same things repeatedly, he became thick-skinned about it and could even retort back.
These kinds of days continued until three days before the harvest festival.
Olivia came over to drink as usual.
"The Harvest Festival is going to be held in three days. Are you really not going to stay and participate? Besides, this festival is planned by me. It will definitely be fun."
Alan tried his best to persuade Olivia to stay.
Olivia looked conflicted. She wanted to stay and participate in the festival, but she was also worried about the situation in the Capital. In the end, she decided to go back early.
Olivia shook her head and refused. "No, I still have some things to deal with at home. Next time. If there's a chance, you can go to the Capital and plan it there. I'll definitely participate!"
After saying that, a bright smile appeared on her face.
Alan could tell that she was eager to return. Although it was regrettable, he did not continue to convince her to stay and watched her leave the tavern.
The next morning, Olivia would leave Rock City. She had dropped by to drink tonight to bid farewell and fetch Yupanki, who had successfully broken through.
The wine that Alan had promised to give her to bring back to the Capital had been prepared. The governor's mansion had already sent a carriage over to bring them away. After this separation, who knew when they would meet again.
That night, Alan felt melancholic.
It was already late at night on the Hailar Continent, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
In a dark corner of the great elven forest, an extremely secretive and unstable Abyss Passage was rapidly fluctuating. After a while, the ripple-like vortex in the air spat out a humanoid creature that was covered in black gas.
