"Miss, is this your first time visiting this store?"
Brad sat down directly next to Miss "Alice" without any hesitation, putting on what he thought was a proper smile, and asked.
The voice sounds like a boy's, so it seems he has learned voice imitation techniques.
"Yes, this is my first time at this store. Are you a regular customer?"
Miss Alice wore her usual sweet smile.
"That's really unlucky. Actually, this is my first time here too. I was hoping you could recommend some good wine for me."
Breed chuckled, and as she approached Miss Alice, she caught a familiar scent that made her feel quite relaxed.
Then Brad struck up a conversation with the bartender, pretending to be a novice who knew nothing about alcohol, and casually picked out a nice-sounding drink from the recommended options and ordered two glasses.
"I've heard this wine is delicious. Why don't you try some? This one's on me."
"Bred said with a smile, and at the same time handed a glass of wine to Miss Alice."
Miss Alice knows this wine. Although she has not studied related knowledge, she has read the memories of everyone in Lanarita, including many wine connoisseurs. Therefore, she is quite proficient in wine tasting.
This blended cocktail, although not strong in flavor, has a powerful aftereffect; you'll get drunk after a while.
"That's not really appropriate. We don't even know each other's names. I'd feel bad if you paid for me."
Miss Alice's sweet smile carried a slight hint of embarrassment.
The Sword Hero, Bred, truly lives up to her reputation as the ultimate scumbag. Her ability to strike up a conversation with a girl she's just met is so smooth and effortless. Miss Alice has certainly learned her lesson today.
"Just keep me company for a drink. Drinking alone is too lonely. It's a good way to make a friend."
"My name is Brad. May I ask what your name is, miss?"
Brad smiled, still holding the hand that was handing "Alice" a drink.
"My name is Alice."
Miss Alice was slightly startled upon hearing the name "Brad," but quickly regained her composure and calmly introduced herself.
"Alice? What a beautiful name. You are as beautiful as an iris. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Breed actually feels like a pretty common name, but since I'm trying to flirt, I can't be too direct.
"Now that we've exchanged names, we're friends, how about having a drink with me, Miss Alice?"
With a smile, Brad handed the wine glass in his hand to Miss Alice.
"Well then, thank you for your fine wine."
Miss Alice took the wine glass from his hand with great restraint, and their hands did not touch.
"cheers."
Brad smiled and raised his glass to Miss Alice. He didn't care about such a small detail. Although it was a pity that he didn't get to touch the beautiful girl's hand, as long as he got her drunk and took her home, he could do whatever he wanted with her.
"cheers."
Miss Alice smiled and raised her glass, gently clinking it against Brad's glass, producing a crisp sound.
Then, Brad began to talk to Miss Alice with humorous content. As a seasoned lover, his conversation skills were quite sophisticated. He didn't just talk to himself, but let the conversation flow naturally and involve the other person. He then focused on being a listener and responded at the perfect time. When the conversation was about to get boring, he would casually chime in.
Miss Alice naturally and casually continued the conversation, answering fluently when it came to herself. Having read the memories of many people, including those from the aristocracy, she could easily fabricate a life story of a noble lady.
As their conversation grew more animated, Brad frequently took the opportunity to urge "Alice" to drink, seemingly determined to get her drunk.
Although Miss Alice was somewhat hesitant, she eventually gave in to her friend's repeated requests and drank all the wine he was offered.
Time just slowly passed by...
Miss Alice's face was flushed, and she looked somewhat drunk, but she still managed to stay alert. She glanced at the time and then said with a slight apology:
"It's getting late. If we keep chatting like this, my father at home will be worried. I must take my leave now."
After saying that, Miss Alice lifted the hem of her dress and prepared to get up and leave, but Brad grabbed her hand. How could he let his prey get away like that?
“Miss Alice, it’s getting late, and it’s not safe for you to be out alone. Why don’t you let me walk you home?”
"Don't worry about me. Despite my appearance, I've actually learned some self-defense techniques!"
After saying that, Miss Alice waved her small, delicate pink fist, which really didn't seem convincing at all.
"No, you've had a bit too much to drink tonight. Let me take you home; it'll be safer that way."
Brad's expression made it seem as if he genuinely cared about "her".
"Okay, thank you for your help. Could you wait a moment? I need to use the restroom first."
