"Nice to meet you."
【haven't seen you for a long time】
The voice that Teresa truly uttered.
It was a heartfelt expression from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, the two voices sounded like a duet, playing together in Gu Xinghe's ears.
Gu Xinghe felt that he seemed to taste a different kind of attachment and nostalgia from it.
"I am Gu Xinghe, hello."
He smiled and said the same to the other person.
"I know him. He's the unlucky bartender Gu Xinghe who's been all the rage lately. I've heard so much about him."
"However, I apologize for bothering you by asking you to work overtime before you leave work."
Theresa's behavior at this moment was like that of a truly lively young girl.
Although we had prepared before entering.
Gu Xinghe's heart pounded violently when he heard the name.
“It’s alright, but the name Theresa seems…”
"It's just a coincidence that she shares the same name as the saintess of the Thorn Cult."
"How could a saintess sneak into a tavern like I would?"
As if she had accidentally revealed how to get into the tavern, the girl stuck out her tongue at Gu Xinghe.
But Gu Xinghe knew that the truth was not so simple.
Ah, I saw the Milky Way much earlier in this life!
I'm so happy!
[Using the guise of investigation to visit the tavern every now and then was definitely the right thing to do!]
Although I don't know why the other party didn't admit it.
But judging from the inner voice heard, the girl was indeed the saint Teresa of the Thorn Cult.
She was also someone Chris had mentioned.
Moreover, Gu Xinghe seemed to hear a word that he was quite familiar with in Theresa's inner thoughts.
It was different from what Gu Xinghe had initially imagined.
Teresa was not wearing a solemn nun's habit at this time, nor was she wearing any other more noble attire.
Her simple white dress and sun hat seemed quite different from the image of the saintess in the rumors.
But it only highlights the purity and cuteness of the other person, which is befitting a young girl's age.
Of course, if Theresa really came dressed as a saint, it would definitely cause a sensation in the tavern.
Judging from her inner thoughts, Teresa seemed to be using work as an excuse to occasionally come to the tavern to conduct some kind of investigation.
No wonder rumors about it circulated in the tavern.
At this moment, Theresa may have realized that Gu Xinghe already knew her true identity.
However, both sides tacitly avoided continuing the topic.
"Then why is Theresa here drinking at our tavern?"
Upon hearing this, Teresa tilted her head, seemingly pondering how to answer Gu Xinghe's question.
Her demeanor was like that of a typical girl her age, possessing a pure and lively spirit.
She seems to be quite different from the dignified saintly image that is widely circulated.
"When I came to the tavern three days ago, I accidentally saw someone I liked and fell in love with him at first sight."
But before I could even go up and say hello, the person left.
After thinking for a long time, Teresa finally approached Gu Xinghe and whispered in his ear.
It's like a young girl sharing her little secrets with someone she's close to.
"I later asked around among the other customers and heard that the man had only been in the tavern for half an hour."
He left so fast I couldn't keep up with him!
Recalling the past, the angry girl complained to Gu Xinghe.
Her warm breath as she spoke sent shivers down his spine, making his whole body tingle.
Three days ago was the day Gu Xinghe entered the [Tavern of Misfortune] instance, and also the day his half-hour workday began.
"So I would come to this tavern from time to time to drink, hoping to run into that person again."
I heard that the infamous "Unlucky Bartender" works here, so I wanted to catch a glimpse of him before you leave work.
At this point, the cunning girl seemed to subtly distinguish Gu Xinghe from the person she fell in love with at first sight.
"Mr. Gu Xinghe, do you think it's cheap to fall in love with someone so easily at first sight?"
"Of course not, and I wish you success in seeing that person again soon."
"Thank you."
Of course, by the time I met you, I had already succeeded.
Whether it's what she actually said or what she silently conveyed in her heart.
It seems that the person Teresa wanted to meet was always him.
However, neither of them directly confronted the other, maintaining the current ambiguous atmosphere.
Gu Xinghe then recalled the thoughts he had heard from Chris back then—
I don't want you to go looking for that saintess.
Based on the current situation, does that mean Teresa is also on his side?
She seemed unaware of her exact location at that time.
However, he roughly knew that he had been to the Tavern of Misfortune before, so he often came here.
Even before his arrival, Theresa had been going in and out of the tavern many times, waiting for his appearance.
Chris and Theresa, who seem to have been reborn.
It seems they were his... followers in a past life?
But for now, putting those thoughts aside, Gu Xinghe could only continue along the lines of Theresa's topic.
"Would you like to try my [Galaxy]?"
Gu Xinghe picked up the wine from the tray and pushed it in front of Teresa.
"It's the same as your name, I like it very much."
Speaking of which, Mr. Unlucky Bartender, is this the first time you've ever mixed "Galaxy" for someone?
