Chapter 58: The Departing Orina
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Orina saw the way Ai Xiaohei kept acting cute in Alan’s arms and was furious. She pulled her out of Alan’s arms once again.
“Let me see if you’re a male or a female. What’s the meaning of you trying to crawl into someone’s arms?”
Alan looked at the childish Orina and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. He did not stop her and quietly watched Orina torment Ai Xiaohei.
Ai Xiaohei once again fell into the hands of the powerful female elf. This time, she knew that Alan would protect her, so she didn’t act as pathetic as before.
Knowing what Orina was going to do to it, she tried to resist desperately. She meowed miserably, trying to make Alan feel pity.
However, Orina was determined to know the gender. Her two slender hands firmly controlled the cat, not letting her break free at all.
“Hmph, as expected, it’s a female. Cats are just like foxes, shameless creatures.”
As she spoke in anger, she threw the useless Ai Xiaohei aside.
She glared angrily at Alan and said, “If you want to raise her, you’re not allowed to hug her in the future!”
Alan was laughing secretly as he tilt his head to the side. When he heard her demand, his heart skipped a beat. Not allowed to hug her?
Wouldn’t that reduce the fun of raising a cat by more than half?
Looking at the young man’s shocked expression, Orina’s face was gloomy. She glared at him to warn him.
Alan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
“If I raise a male cat in the future then I’ll be able to hug him, right?”
Orina snorted lightly and turned her head away arrogantly, deliberately ignoring Alan.
She suddenly realized the ambiguity in her words. Saying this made it feel as if the two of them were going to live together in the future.
Orina secretly glanced at Alan’s reaction. Seeing that he did not refuse, her heart was filled with sweetness.
Alan, who still wanted to say something, was called away by a customer again.
Taking advantage of Alan’s absence, Orina gave a fierce warning to Ai Xiaohei.
Without Alan by her side, Ai Xiaohei did not dare to resist. The way she looked like a bullied wife made Orina even angrier.
Throughout the afternoon, Alan circled among the customers. Whenever he had a quick break, he returned to the bar to watch Orina educate Ai Xiaohei.
The sun gradually set. Soon, Orina was going to leave. This time, she still needed to return to the forest overnight.
“Orina, next time you come, I’ll prepare a gift for you. It’ll be something that you’ve never seen before.”
Alan smiled as he looked at Orina, who was about to leave.
Although he hoped that she could stay in Rock City and come drink every day, but, just as Sophia had said, Orina had her mission.
However, Alan could not say anything to persuade her to stay. He also had his mission. As long as he managed the tavern well and waited there, his friends would always come back.
Orina smiled, nodded slightly, and left the tavern.
After Orina left, Alan put away the reluctance in his heart and was once again drowned by the enthusiasm of his customers.
When the sky finally turned completely dark, Wayne and Abraham walked into the tavern side by side.
The two of them looked well, as if they already walked out of the sadness of yesterday’s failure.
The lively scene in the tavern shocked every regular customer who entered the door.
The usually empty tavern was crowded today.
When Wayne and the others came, only the bar was still empty.
“Mister, Abraham, good evening!” Alan greeted the two with a smile.
“Little Alan, why is it so crowded today?” Mister Wayne asked puzzledly.
“It’s probably because the festival yesterday was well received. Today, the tavern has been full since it opened.”
Alan explained cheerfully while preparing Lafite for the two of them.
Hearing Alan mention yesterday, Wayne and Abraham were tense. Yesterday was not a good day for them.
“Oh right, what happened to you two yesterday? I heard from the guests that you two had quite an interesting time.”
Alan thought of what he heard from the guests and was shocked.
Many of the guests who came today knew mister Wayne. The things that happened at the festival, the unreliable things that he did with Abraham, after a night of rumors, had spread throughout Rock City…
“Uh… let’s not talk about what happened yesterday.” Wayne smiled awkwardly.
“Hmph, if it wasn’t because Wayne, that fool, wanting to win your reward, do you think your lord would do all that with him?”
The hooded Abraham was like a different person, always speaking with an air of superiority.
He saw Wayne stuttering and unwilling to admit his own stupidity. His plan even caused him to be embarrassed in front of everyone, so he said angrily.
“If you didn’t want the reward as well, you wouldn’t have done everything with me! Just because my plan failed, you can’t blame everything on me…”
Wayne argued unwillingly.
“It’s mainly your fault!”
“If you continue to be like this, then I’ll make you pay me for your drinks that I covered for your these last few days and the rent you owe me for staying in my blacksmith shop.”
Wayne was angry, but he couldn’t find any words to refute him, so he could only use money to threaten him.
“You…” Abraham, who didn’t have money, was about to defend himself.
“Alright, Alright, both of you calm down. It’s not worth getting angry over something so small. Besides…”
“Mister Wayne, with our relationship, you think I won’t let you guys try my new drinks first?”
Alan interrupted their argument. He deliberately lowered his voice and whispered to the two of them.
Hearing Alan’s promise, Wayne’s eyes lit up. Abraham snorted lightly to show that he didn’t care, but he was already smiling brightly under his hood.
When he turned his head, Abraham finally saw the black cat lazily lying on the bar counter. He was shocked.
When Ai Xiaohei saw Abraham, she knew that the Evil Lord she was looking for was here. It was just a bad time to run into him.
Abraham’s heart was turbulent. Wasn’t this black cat the Demon King’s beloved pet?
The cat’s strength wasn’t strong among the Demon King’s battle pets, but she knew how to make Demon King happy, to the point that the Demon King brought her everywhere he went.
Could this be the helper that the Demon King found for him?
What could she do? Her attack capabilities were 0 but her coquettish skills were 100. Was she planning on conquering the human world by acting cute?
Thinking of this, Abraham had an epiphany. Was this the Demon King’s plan? Did he exaggerate his struggles in his call that day?
Could it be that the Demon King thought that the human world couldn’t be conquered by force, so he decided to use a different strategy and rely on his battle pet to act cute and conquer the human world!?
In an instant, Abraham’s respect for the Demon King collapsed by half…
Alan saw Abraham staring at the corner and followed his line of sight. He saw that Ai Xiaohei was staring at him with interest.
Thinking that both of them were from the Abyss, Alan felt that they might have known each other for a long time.
“Abraham, that’s Ai Xiaohei, the tavern’s new cat.”
Although he guessed that they might know each other, Alan still said the name Ai Xiaohei.
No matter whose cat you used to be, you are now my cat. I changed your name and claimed ownership!
