Before I could realize it, two and a half months have already passed.
Most of my days, were spent on making the pub better and adding a little bit of magic here and there to make the place more welcome and cozy for the new customers.
While I didn't spend all of my time at the pub, I still went on three dates per week with both Hinata and Karin, though I didn't expect that in the third week, Cleria to ask me if I would love to go with her on a few dates. And while I would one hundred percent loved to go, I had to first be sure that my head wouldn't be cut off when I will return, if you know what I mean?
Thankfully and strangely at the same time, both of my girlfriends agreed with that and I was somehow semi-forced into going on a date with a hot lady.
The dates weren't anything special, and it was mostly the two of us going to eat something and then talk about different things which helped us know each other better and at the same time finding some small weakness here or there in our personalities that we may or may not exploit for our advantages.
If those weren't enough to eat up my free time, Hinata and Karin trained and made me learn a bunch of things from human anatomy and how to treat various wounds to combat techniques and the best way to implement them.
To be honest, the Hyuga were extremely good CQC fighters and could demolish anyone that doesn't have wings or a boss-level character or plot armor…
Back to the present, I and my girlfriends were waiting alongside my employees for our first customers to enter into our pub and how surprised I was when the first person to enter through the door was Diehauser fucking Belial, his sister, and their respective peerages.
I've got to say that the man had style and as soon as they entered the pub, the door was locked and the closed sign was put on the door.
Well, it seems that someone needs to learn how to share. Giving them my best charming smile I could put after learning proper etiquette from Sebastian, I decided to ask them first.
"Welcome to the Eternal Rest, what can I get you, my ladies and gentlemen?"
Diehauser looked at me for a second, before he burst into a laugh, which funny enough earned him a punch to the face from his beloved sister.
"Don't be rude, brother. Haru-kun has worked hard to make this place as cozy and welcome as possible and he even went so far as to greet us professionally and you just ruin it."
"Ouch, I'm sorry, ok? I have surprised that the guy you kept talking about was the same one that was standing in front of us. Ahem, Haru-kun could I get the stronger drink you have?"
One by one, I got my girls to write their orders while I was bringing a bottle of Bacardi 151(75 % alcohol –quite a strong one, well compared to the normal drinks, but there's vodka with 96% alcohol so yeah, wouldn't recommend that) for Diehauser, while it wasn't the strongest drink in the world, it was strong enough to put a human to sleep if they drink more than one shot of it.
Purring a glass to the man, I quickly get to work and after five minutes, I managed to finish purring and making more than twenty-five drinks for the Belial family.
Cleria was the first one to drink from her Brandy Crusta (One of the hardest drinks I ever made) which made me chuckle a little when I saw her enlighten face as she took a sip from her drink.
Diehauser was the next one and even a drink as strong as the Bacardi didn't make him flinch, but deep down, I know he was struggling to take the shot without making himself a fool.
As everyone was drinking their drinks, I made myself an Irish coffee and sat down near Cleria and her brother.
"What brought you here, today? Other than checking my pub and how good the service was."
"I heard from my sister that you are quite interesting and I decided to see for myself how interesting a human, not to mention a teenager can be and I've got to say, that from the moment I entered into your pub I felt quite a few pairs of eyes on me, most likely your people, not to mention that boy that's learning from you."
"What can I say? They are my people and it's quite common sense to defend the leader, as for Neji, well he's my friend and I decided to make him my second bartender in case I will need help. "
"That's your problem, Haru-kun, can I call you that right?"
I just nodded my head at him, because why not, it doesn't matter how he or anyone calls me.
"What I want to discuss with you is what you plan to do now. You may not know this, but there are a lot of eyes in this city and lately more and more keep popping out. While that may not be a problem for me, I fear that someone will try to harm my sister, and while she's strong, she can't really take on an enemy that she doesn't know exists, am I right ?"
"No doubt, sir, and to be honest with you, sir. I plan to graduate from high school then make a name for myself in the human world…"
"While at the same time, you want to make one in the supernatural side of the world. Quite a good plan, you have there, but you lack one crucial thing: Connections and allies."
"These things can be made in time. Of course, if a lovely lady like your sister wants to form an official alliance between us then I could only accept."
Hearing my words, Cleria blushed a little, but that didn't make her turn her gaze from me while poor old I was being pinched by two jealous girls. Thank god that no Yandere aura was released or I would have to bite the bullet.
On the contrary, she was the one to propose the alliance.
"Haru-kun, would you like to officially ally yourself with the Belial family?"
"With you yes, but not with the whole Devil race and I presume you know why."
"I understand and we don't have anything against your decision, but you also need to understand that if you end up fighting the devil race we would need to retreat and break the alliance."
"I know and I can understand why will you decide to do that, Diehauser-san. Now that the boring part is done, let's talk about some business."
"My favorite part of the deal. So what could you offer us and what can we offer you?"
"Well, to be honest, I can only offer you information on different things and maybe assassinations. That's what Anteiku will provide to its customers and friends, at a small discount for the latter. As for what I want…I want your help on getting some endangered animals like Panda, Amur leopard, and maybe the black rhinos?"
"That's quite a good plate you offered us to feast from. As for the animals, that can be easily done, but unfortunately, I may be able to only get two pairs from each species for you."
"That's not a problem. Now that we are done discussing those things, it's time to celebrate our partnership."
After five hours of making drinks and emptying bottle after bottle, Diehauser and his group managed to consume 10 thousand dollars worth of alcohol which, to be honest, was a lot and I was amazed by how in the seven kingdoms could he still drink after all of that?
Cleria on the other hand was the first one to fall and as soon as the alcohol took over her, she starts crying about how I wasn't giving her enough affection and how handsome I was.
Seeing that the situation was getting quite bad, Karin and Hinata took her towards one of the rooms that we prepared for the people that will like to rest for a night.
As soon as his sister left, Diehauser's carefree attitude disappears and it was switched with the same attitude a warrior wore.
"Haru-kun, I want your humble opinion on the current situation of the supernatural world."
Well, I've got to say that I was wondering when he will ask me this question.
"When was the last time a true peace was signed and conflicts stopped appearing? It didn't happen, why? Because we are a bunch of idiots, who are trying to prove that we are the better ones while at the same time we fail to notice that we are slowly loading the gun to shoot ourselves. The supernatural side of the world is even worse, with all of those that seek chaos and destruction, not to mention the lack of proper leadership in some the factions like yours for example."
"I completely agree with you and Haru-kun, you can call me Diehauser. I don't care about titles and things like that. As for the leadership of my race…Two siscons from which one is a total pervert while the other one has a magical girl fetish. The third one is obsessed with experiments and theories which barely make him leave his laboratory and finally, the fourth one is an antisocial man that got his title just because no one was there to take the role in his place. That's how fucked up the underworld was…"
"That's why we don't have to trust anyone, not even us. That's what you want to warn me, right?"
"Exactly, you won't know when the enemy will use such cheap, but effective means to make you a pawn in their games."
"A war is coming, Diehauser and we will be forced to fight in it."
"To be honest with you Haru-kun, I have heard about some organization that was forming under Ophis's wings and that they plan something big, and I presume they will be enemy in the future."
"Only time could show us the answer. Till then, we have to live our lives to the fullest."
