Chapter 136 Bartender
I picked up the cup and took a sip.
Okay, the familiar Bite Fruit juice - now it seems that the Bite Fruit in this world is a star fruit, and it makes sense for Rajes to be the boss.
“It’s delicious.”
I drank half a cup in one gulp.
"I want to drink too."
Rose-head raised his hand nearby. The bartender glanced at him and said, "Come to the bar for juice, looking for trouble?"
His eyes weren't exactly friendly, but he definitely knew Rosehead.
"Boss Wells, I used to work for you." Rose-head said calmly, "Drinking is not good for my petals."
The boss, named Wells, sneered and said, "Get out of here, poor bastard."
Then he looked at Shi Qing next to him, "What would you like to drink?"
"Today's special." Shi Qing glanced at my cup, "It must have some fresh berries today."
Wells: “…”
"Hmph, you guys got a bargain."
He took the tools and started to mix the cocktail. His movements were very skillful and graceful, but for some reason I could see a lot of showmanship in it.
It’s hard to say, even if they really don’t know me, but there’s some instinct involved.
——It’s like having a brother complex engraved in my soul, and now I’m showing off in front of my younger brother, wanting to get his praise and admiration.
Don’t carve everything into your soul!
Two glasses of fruit wine were placed in front of Shi Qing and Meiguitou. He looked at my almost empty glass and poured me another glass of juice.
...That's not necessary.
Then he sat in front of us. Although there was a bar between us, the sense of oppression was still very strong.
"So why did you come to my shop and bring... him."
His strange pause definitely didn't mean anything nice at first, but instinctively he changed it to "he".
This is probably called the will to survive.
Don't act like you know a lot at this time!!
"Didn't I tell you not to show up in front of me?" Wells was obviously angry. Although his voice was very low, I clearly heard the sound of the wooden bar counter breaking somewhere.
"We didn't promise you, did we?" Shi Qing pulled down his mask and tasted the wine in the glass.
Now I'm curious.
Wells knew Rosehead and Shi Qing, but didn’t know me. This was completely different from the other “brothers” I had come into contact with.
why is that?
Is it that we don’t know it at birth or that we don’t know it later?
My eyes were on him, and he glared at me fiercely as if he felt it.
"What are you looking at... little monster, little ghost."
A bit like Rajesh, but not exactly.
Which part does he represent?
I looked at the parts of his body that were similar to me - the hair... No, the skeleton including the hair?
That makes sense, since his entire body is bandaged, he probably has no skin or flesh... or rather, special skin or flesh.
But isn't he too tall?!
My current height is absolutely the same as the protagonist's, which means the protagonist definitely can't be that tall. There must be something fishy going on!
But if it really is bones, then the three people present here are blood, flesh, and bones.
It can completely form a complete person.
No wonder the three of them seem to have such a good relationship—the three basic elements that make up the human body.
[What a great relationship! For a moment, I don't know if it's because the host's filter is too thick or your standards for judging people are distorted.]
They didn't fight each other and they could even drink together. This can't be called a good relationship!
They had never gotten along with Rajes before, and Arinea had directly refused their entry. Although they had not been with the clowns for long, just a few words were enough to prove that their relationship was not good.
[In a sense, Xiaoyu's spirit is really good.]
I was startled when Villar spoke. I almost forgot that he is now a cross-dresser.
[…I’m not being quiet just to make you forget about this! I simply don’t want to speak in a female voice; it would make me look like a pervert.]
Oh, so sad. You said I was a pervert in my previous life, right?
【……】
"Speak, little one."
Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, Wells' patience seemed to be running out. He knocked on the bar. Although the momentum of the fall was fierce, the force of the knock on the bar was not as strong as when he just put the wine in it.
It's like pretending to be intimidating in front of a child but actually not using any strength at all.
Rose-head laughed unceremoniously.
“…”
"Ahem... Sangsang needs your help."
Seeing Wells' increasingly irritable mood, Rose Head finally stopped laughing, then coughed lightly and looked at him.
Wells's face looked unhappy, but he did not say anything to refuse.
【This is a true heartthrob. 】
[Host, I got the script for the real heartthrob group pet! ]
...Thank you. In this world, besides the protagonist, his slices, and his clan who came from nowhere, who else treats me like a group pet? ? ?
"Sangsang is about sixteen years old now, but he doesn't remember what happened before—" Rose-head spoke slowly, "So when we leave 02, he will go to 01."
"The conditions for opening 01 are simply impossible to meet," the bartender said firmly. "You're trying to deceive me with words like that, aren't you afraid that I'll tear off all your petals?"
Rose-head remained calm, "That's why we came to you. 'He' will definitely open 01 for Sangsang, so... are you willing?"
"You want me to pay such a huge price for someone who has nothing to do with me?" Wells reached out and grabbed Rosehead's collar. The sound of the collision here attracted many people's attention, but after being glared at by Wells, they all turned their heads back.
He glanced at me, and then the ferocious expression softened.
"Come with me upstairs and talk."
Then he let go of Rose Head, wiped his hands, walked out of the bar, and motioned for us to follow.
His hair was longer than I thought. If it were let down, it would definitely drag on the ground. Now it swayed left and right as he walked.
There were private rooms upstairs in the bar. He roughly opened the innermost one and walked in.
"Sangsang is not an unrelated person." As soon as we walked in, Qing held my shoulders, "He is my younger brother."
"younger brother?"
Wells poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Shi Qing, have you been a saint for too long? We don't have any brothers. We are just part of 'him'."
"Yes, so Sangsang is 'his' younger brother, and also our younger brother."
Shi Qing continued speaking, and I was stunned.
The content of this conversation is no less than someone running with the ball and coming back to tell the male protagonist, "This is your child."
——And I also heard that in order to get Wells to do something, they had to play the emotional card. The number of this copy is 02, and 01 is a copy that is earlier than this one.
He also said that it could help me find my memories, and that it might be the birthplace of the protagonist and me.
Wells stopped talking, still immersed in what Shi Qing had just said.
"'He' has a brother?!"
His voice rose several degrees, "You all know?"
Rose Head and Shi Qing nodded, and Rose Head added, "We even have some memories."
"Why don't I have it?!"
"...You'll have to ask 'him' about that."
"I won't ask for you. I hate 'him'." Shi Qing said.
"What a coincidence, no one among us likes 'him' either, right?"
I:……
It looks like the main body is doing very badly.
But since he has cut himself into so many slices with different personalities, it is normal. Some patients with split personality will also hate each other among their different personalities.
"...Little boy, call me brother."
Wells took a deep breath and looked at me.
I:……
To be honest, it sounds a bit tacky. I always feel that the next sentence will be something like "Call me brother and I will give you my life", which is so embarrassing that it's like digging out a three-bedroom apartment with your toes.
【Ha ha ha ha--】
Laughing too loud!
"elder brother."
Looking at his eyes, I couldn't say no, so I just screamed. It wouldn't hurt to scream.
Wilston paused.
He placed his hand on his chest, his face blank as if he was savoring something.
Then he looked at Rose Head and said, "I promise."
I:……
No, did you really agree?! I don't know what it was exactly, but it's definitely not something that can be agreed to just by asking, right?
【The group's favorite! The group's favorite! 】
Then he took out a fruit knife from his bag and started cutting his hair. A large clump of hair that was half a meter long was cut off.
What kind of fruit knife is so sharp!!!
There was an expression of pain on his face.
Bro, you don't feel pain from the nerves connected to your hair, do you?
——Such an old-fashioned setting?!
Are you non-humans so cruel to yourselves?
Then he took the hair and started braiding it. Soon a bracelet made of hair appeared in his hand. "Stretch out your hand."
I obediently reached out and he tied the bracelet around my wrist twice.
I don't know where he got it from, but there was an irregular blue gem tied to the bracelet.
Looking at me wearing it on my hand, he nodded with satisfaction.
"I agreed, but that's not enough. Have you dealt with the most important guy?"
He leaned back on the sofa, hugging his chest.
Shi Qing nodded.
Wells: "Huh? It's done! How did you meet him?"
Shi Qing touched my head.
"Of course it was Sangsang who did it."
"Sangsang's last instance was the 26th."
Wells's eyes changed when he looked at me again. I felt that he now believed what Rosehead said. Although there was nothing wrong with it, I always had a feeling that he would be sold out by Rosehead.
So they are talking about Arinea.
"Really?"
"Arinea is dead. I killed her, if that's what you're asking," I told him.
He paused, and touched my hair.
"Are you sad?"
I was stunned. Am I sad?
Why should I be sad...?
"He's a part of someone just like the rest of us. He can't really die. He can even be cut again if he wants to."
No, that's not necessary. I don't think a normal person would want to cut myself into pieces.
Brother, just be a normal person.
"We'd be happiest if he were dead. That sinister, arrogant, rotten fellow is worthy of being 'his' heart. He's just as disgusting..."
He said this in a very low voice, but I could tell it was from the heart.
It can be seen that Arinea's popularity is really bad.
"Okay, you should go to the next guy, I won't keep you here--" After venting his anger, Wells rubbed his face, stood up and looked at the three of us, of course his eyes were mainly focused on me.
"Actually, I'm glad I don't have many memories...otherwise, I wouldn't be so happy to let him go now."
He touched my head again.
"Then let's meet next time."
He waved and I waved back.
…
"So can you tell me why you brought me here?" I asked the two of them as the streets became noticeably more lively after we came out of the bar. As night fell, most of the decorations were lit up.
If I still can't react now, I should reflect on whether I am a fool.
"Let you meet your other brothers?" Rose tilted her head. "Are you unhappy? And you even got a gift."
I stopped and fell a little behind them, and the two of them turned around and looked at me.
"So what are the conditions for 01 to be activated?"
“…”
Neither of them spoke.
"Let me guess. Is it part of the slice that will return to the original body, or all of it?"
I looked at the two people and asked.
"Part of it."
Shi Qing answered me.
"How much is a portion?"
I asked again.
"Everyone except the two of us."
This time it was Rosehead who answered me.
"I'm going to take you in, and Shi Qing is going to take you out—so the setting between us from the beginning was independent of that condition."
The two of them walked up to me and hugged me together.
"Sangsang, brother loves you very much, so you can't die, okay?"
After hearing this, I roughly understood.
"Bang——"
With a loud bang, a huge firework exploded in the sky.
As night falls, the carnival officially begins.
