Chapter 118 - Alan Didn’t Get It At All
Chapter 118: Alan Didn’t Get It At All
Hewlett and Milton had decided to stay for two more days. They raised their wine glasses and lightly clinked them.
“Ding…” amidst the crisp sound, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
The sky gradually turned dark, and the number of customers in the tavern increased.
When Orina came to the tavern with the ukulele case in her arms, she immediately saw two strange-looking strangers.
She sat down at the bar counter in confusion and looked at Alan, waiting for him to explain.
“Those two people are the orc and the angel. They originally wanted to cause trouble in the afternoon. It’s not clear what their purpose is yet, but they are no longer a danger.”
Alan said with a relaxed face.
“Then how did they become like this?” Orina asked in confusion.
Hearing this question, Alan gave a hollow laugh before explaining.
“Well, they were going to fight against me in the afternoon, and I gave them a small punishment. They were severely injured of being careless.”
Alan saw Orina’s expression instantly become serious, so he quickly continued.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. They just look worse. I’ve already given them Magic Lafite, so their injuries aren’t too serious. They’ll be fine after they go back and wash up.”
Orina looked at Alan, who was anxious and uneasy, and couldn’t help but get angry.
“Idiot, who cares if they’re dead or alive? They’re going to attack you. So what if they’re dead? What’s important is whether you’re injured or not!”
Orina finished her words in anger and stared at Alan.
Alan was obviously stunned when he heard Orina, and his face was full of disapproval.
“Orina, you can’t think like that. There’s no rule that anyone who attacks me should die.”
His expression was slightly solemn.
“Every life should be respected. Even the lives of the enemy should be treasured. Everyone lives together on Hailar Continent. We’re all equal. No one is more noble than anyone else…”
Alan’s lecturing made Orina dizzy.
From the beginning, she didn’t listen to what the youth said until the last sentence.
“Orina, you elves should be the most peace-loving race. You should set an example. Even the enemy should give them a chance. After all, you only have one life. Everyone is like that.”
After saying that, Alan put on a look that said, “You should agree with me.”
At this moment, he finally noticed that Orina’s expression was not right.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Alan saw that her eyes were red, and there was a faint glimmer of water. Both of her cheeks were red.
At this moment, Orina’s hands were on the bar counter. She clenched her fists, and her body trembled slightly. Waves surged up and down in front of her chest, as if she was enduring something.
“What’s wrong with you! Say something!”
Even Alan’s voice was filled with anxiety, but Orina still only stared at him and did not say a word.
Just when he was so anxious that he did not know what to do, Orina finally spoke.
“Alan, you idiot!”
After saying that, she picked up the piano case and turned to leave.
Alan stood rooted to the ground.
Orina walked to the door and stopped. She walked to Milton and Hewlett’s table with a body full of anger.
“Bang…”
A hand slammed hard on the solid wood table. The loud sound startled everyone in the tavern, and it was instantly silent.
She just glared at the two of them and didn’t say a word.
After a while, Orina turned around and left, not even looking at Alan.
Hewlett was terrified by Orina’s gaze. Milton felt that his hands were a little soft. For the first time, he felt that the elves were extremely terrifying.
Before Alan could figure out why she was angry, Orina had already left the tavern.
“Pfft…”
No one knew who started laughing, but it broke the silent atmosphere in the tavern.
Everyone laughed louder and louder.
“No, what’s going on? Why is she angry… Why are you laughing again…”
Alan stood at the bar counter in a daze, complaining helplessly. Those who were close to him laughed even louder.
“Little Alan, you’re still a child… Hahaha…”
“Yes, yes, yes, only children like to preach…”
…
The uncles teased Alan one after another.
Asmodeus looked at his temporary employer with a pitiful expression. He left his female customers behind and went to the bar counter.
“Little Alan, let me teach you a few moves. You can’t be like this when you’re with a girl…”
Alan looked at Asmodeus with a blank expression.
“Sigh… do you know what that little elf girl wanted to hear?”
Asmodeus explained as he guided Alan to think.
“What did she want to hear? I’m just chatting with a friend normally…”
Alan did not feel that he had said anything wrong.
“Look, this is your biggest mistake. The girl is already angry, how can you still feel that you’re not wrong?”
Asmodeus looked at Alan in shock. He had never thought that Alan would be so hopeless.
The surrounding customers cheered, “Needless to say, there’s no hope for Little Alan. He must have spent too much time with Wayne. If this goes on, he might end up like Wayne, still single for more than forty years.”
“Hehe… I heard that Wayne is still a virgin…”
“No way? This is too tragic, hahahaha…”
This group of middle-aged men gradually changed the topic.
Alan was silent. He really could not figure out what he had said wrong, why Orina left in anger, why the customers laughed at him, and the pity look of Asmodeus was trying to express something.
“Alan, you don’t know how to speak. You should speak less in the future. The lesser you speak, fewer mistakes you’ll make.”
Asmodeus patted Alan’s shoulder heavily.
“Think about what you were talking about just now, and then think about what you said, why the elf girl left in anger. You need to reflect on yourself.”
After saying that, he sighed and returned to his female customer with a smile.
Yupanki shook his head helplessly and continued to be busy. He could not help but sigh in his heart. “Fortunately, it wasn’t Princess Olivia. Otherwise, I’m afraid that the tavern would have been smashed.”
Alan recalled what had happened just now. In the blink of an eye, Orina was angered by him and ran away. After being scolded by everyone, he also felt that it was probably his own fault.
“Just now, we talked about what happened in the afternoon. Orina said that she didn’t care about the safety of others. She only cared about whether I was injured. Then, I said that we can’t think like that. We must cherish every life…”
At this point, Alan suddenly seemed to be enlightened. He finally understood.
She was only worried about his own safety. As for him, what had he done?
Not only did he not notice her concern, but he also even shamelessly lectured her.
Now that he thought about it, he really did not know what was good for him.
But what was the use of reacting after such a long time? Orina had already run away in anger.
After Alan realized his mistake, he was in a distressed mood the whole night. Knowing that Alan was not in a good mood, everyone consciously did not disturb him and let him reflect quietly.
Strangely enough, Orina did not come to the tavern for three days in a row.
Alan wanted to wait for her to come and apologize to her, but he did not expect to see her.
Therefore, Alan became more and more irritable, but he had no idea how to vent the anxiety in his heart.
Recently, Asmodeus wanted to say something when he saw Alan. He wanted to tell him several times that a man should be brave enough to apologize, take the initiative to admit his mistake, and wait for a girl to come to him. What kind of words was that!
However, Asmodeus felt that Alan should think things through on his own. Only then would he learn his lesson.
