" *Yawn.." I opened my mouth wide as my eyelids began to twitch with laziness.
Why is that guy Leo so damn late... I said inwardly looking at the bar with people leaving one after another.
8:30 in the evening ? It is already night and a waste of my precious time...
I can't help but feel regretful for the four hours that were wasted away today because Leo was supposed to bring his female cousin to have a blind date with me but he still hasn't arrived yet.
The waiter who has delivered as much as 8 big cups of normal orange juice was looking at me with weird eyes.
Probably in his heart he has already identified me as a terrorist who is waiting for the right time to blast a bomb. In his impression that might be the reason why I wasn't drinking any alcoholic drinks.
Hey, I am really not a terrorist or something. I just like drinking Orange juices during the little leisure time I can squeeze out once a month.
Putting that aside I am also a pretty famous person but it's not like people recognise me outside my 'home'.
Most of the time my introduction also became a stumbling block to my romantic life.
•Blind date 1 : Hello, tell me something about yourself.
•Me : Hello. I am Alex, the trustee and person in charge behind the biggest orphanage and old age home in the country.
•Blind date 2 : So, you don't have a job ?
•Me : That's right but hey, I am a social worker.
Then, they left and we never met again.
Alas, we could have been a couple if she had asked ; what my parents do for a living ?
Although, I would sadly look at the blue sky with wet eyes saying; They had been dead for more than 10 years.
But.
Not everyone knows my father Rex Richard who was one of the top capitalist during the time he was alive and his self earned wealth was over 30 billion US dollars while my mother was the daughter of a state administrator who fell for my father's gentle and kind personality in the teenage years and then, they had me.
To sum up, I am a Second Generation of rich guys with political background and I still retained more than 5 billions of their original wealth.
That's right. I burnt more than 25 billions in less than ten years without achieving anything major.
But then again, I am a social worker who is busy in helping poor children and abandoned old ages parents.
Sometimes, people questioned me ; 'Why would I serve the society rather than enjoying the cheerful Youth ? '
Thanks to the fact that my parents didn't die alone but my second uncle, second aunt, cousin sisters, both paternal and maternal grandparents and pretty much every close relative accompany them down to the other world after a bridge broke down in the middle of the journey when they were on their way to the airport for a business trip x Joint family vacation.
I was the only one left alive in my whole family because at that time I was studying a special business course abroad.
However me being left alive wasn't a good thing either way.
In just one day, I became a completely lonely person and people who think I was an easy target started to bully me after returning back to my home country.
It was like from everyone - the former friends, subordinates or even some distant relatives.
That's why I give up on the luxurious life after watching the ugliness of the world.
Wait !! Why I am explaining my life experiences ? It's not like someone can listen to the thoughts inside my head.
Damn it !! That waiter can't possibly add sedatives to make me fall unconscious or something weird in the drink, right ?
But he is glaring at my seat for a while and I am unsure of his motives. Should I call the police ?
Forget it, it may be because I am too tired these days and auditory hallucinations are bound to happens.
" Should I play with my phone for a while ? " I silently raised my head and found the bar was almost empty except for me and a few people who have finished their office shift and are enjoying drinks on their way back to home. Playing with the phone in this atmosphere shouldn't disturb others in any way, right ?
Operating the phone, I quickly logged into my Web Novel account and began to look for some novel recommendations this week.
Undoubtedly, several good works were staying on the top ranking charts which piqued my interest like, 'Harem of 108 girls in the apocalyptic world' , 'I am a cultivator but the genre is magic', ' I have a Villain system but what do you mean by saying the Heroine is also a transmigrator ? '.
To be honest reading both LN and WN in my free time is so refreshing and entertaining that I hardly feel any sort of tiredness during a 24×7 tight schedule.
" Excuse me.." Just as I was about to open a 'Comedy' genre novel, someone called out to me. Raising my head my eyes meet the other party's eyes that shine like a purple jewel in the dimness of the night.
At a glance the caller was obviously a beautiful lady but for some reason she was concealing her appearance with a face mask, transparent specs and a black cap. The clothes she was wearing were also plain- a white T-shirt with Pikachu pattern under a black hood and black jeans from a cheap brand.
Not that I was critic of other people's clothing sense but judging from the watch she was wearing on her left wrist belongs to a luxury brand, her family or she herself should be doing good then, was there any special reason for her to add a stealth mode ?
Come to think of it, I am sitting in a bar. It must be because she afraid of encountering some rogue or perverts.
" Hello. For what reason did you call me ? " I asked in a polite tone.
" Can I sit here ? "
" Pardon? " I tilted my head several times left and right. From what I can see, there are at least a few dozen empty tables here.
" Can I sit here ? " she asked again.
Hey, I didn't asked you to repeat the words but what do you mean ?
" How about sitting there ? " I pointed to one of the table on the right side.
" No, I am afraid of hanging out alone and there is nobody else besides you with a free seat. "
That makes some sense for a weak girl entering a bar but I was still going to refuse her.
What if my potential future wife came with Leo and misunderstood something ? I can't take this risk, right ?
But before I can said something, the lady took my 0.01 second silence as an affirmation and sit opposite to me with great comfort.
I was going to ask her to fetch another table but a smell resembling lavender entered my nostrils and I fell in love with it at first meeting.
Forget it, I was helping a lady in need and held my words back.
" Do you usually ask others to 'hangout' in this manner ? " I asked with some amusement on my face.
" That... " From what I can see her face that was only exposed between eyes and the mid of nose immediately turned red with a light blush. She was feeling embarrassed on an unexpected teasing by a stranger. Oh man, she is so cute but it's a pity she is not my type.
" I am a writer..." She spoke in a low voice.
Writer ? what kind of relationship does it have with this forced 'hangout' ?
" What do you write about ? " Still I asked.
" I am writing a web novel and I have added thousands of subscribers this week. But they have been demanding a plot where the hero saved the police heroine in a bar. So, I came here to experience the atmosphere to make the writing more realistic. "
Not that I asked in depth but she herself explained a bit too much.
"Ohh, I get it you are one of those enthusiastic person pursing perfection in their work. " I praised her with a generous smile.
" Thank You.. " Saying so the redness on her face become more obvious. Was she a shy person or one with introverted personality ? No matter from which angle I look at in this small conversation her behaviour is prone to either of two guesses in my mind.
What do we call such people ? Right, it was a tsundere. The proper object of protection tightly held in palm by both countless man and woman.
If she wasn't a shy writer I guess someone might have already portrayed her as a heroine in the manga or something.
Maybe she herself had done in her own novel but is embarrassed to reveal to others.
Anyways, to begin both of us were strangers and there was not much to talk about between us so the atmosphere became a little awkward all of a sudden.
I couldn't come up with something to ease the mood and helplessly chose to continue the thing from before.
Opening the 'Comedy' novel, my eyes stared at the screen for a few minutes but I was greatly disappointed with the content...
I didn't understand what the writer was trying to do ?
In brief :
--The protagonist Ashborn has several beauties chasing after him but he was ignorant of the obvious hint in their various actions and thought no one loves him.
--The King of the country intended to chose Ashborn as his heir but the protagonist misunderstand the good treatment offered by others as a barrier to defeat Demon king and set out alone to fight against him.
--The protagonist was able to overcome the countless trials and killed the demon king in the finale battle but he also become an Eunuch due to the forced simulation of his own potential.
Though I was proud of my reading ability close to the level of people who awakened the Legendary sharingan but this plot really made my eyes shed blood tears.
Still my reaction was a heartfelt laughter.
" Hahahah..."
No wonder this was highly recommended 'Comedy' work despite the fact that the author didn't add a 'Comedy' tag.
" Why are you laughing ? " She asked me with some puzzlement.
" I read a very funny novel. " I said casually.
Reading a novel while sitting in the middle of a bar and laughing so loudly, there would be not many people with strange taste like me. I almost forgot it, there was one sitting next to me so there was no embarrassment when I spoke to her.
" Is that so ? " She said with some puzzlement but next second she thought of something and asked excitedly. " By the way can I take a look at what kind of novel can make a person laugh so heartfully ? "
" About that.... " The smile on my face suddenly froze as I looked at my mobile screen.
Although the hero was ultimately an Eunuch but there are plenty of erotic scenes between the second and third male leads and female leads beside the 8 main heroines.
She was looking at my face curiously with eyes full of purity and devoid of wordly desires. I can't possibly corrupt such a sweet person, can I ?
" It's a fanfiction where Thanos fell in love with Iron man and using the infinity stones he turned him into a lady. So, they can get married and have children. "
I lied without showing any form of abnormalities on my face. Though I had doubts about whether it will work or not.
" Did you find out about it just now ? As far as I know this one was really old and I have read it a few times. " She blinked her innocent eyes and looked at me with the same look that a graduate will give to kindergarten children.
Was I that pathetic ? No, I am missing the main point, does the random novel plot I came up with actually exist ?
She must be trying to ease the atmosphere which I failed to do so.... I murmured inwardly.
" Yes. I just found about it now.. " Anyways my statement had worked up to some extent, there was no need to said the truth at this point of tIme.
At this time the waiter suddenly came up with two glasses of pineapple juice, I was going to refuse as I didn't order it but the lady in front of me suddenly put a hand on her proud C-cup chest indicating it was a treat from her side.
Not acting as polite gentleman in disguise, I immediately reached out and put the two glasses of juices on our table and began drinking from my share in small sips.
I just wish my bladder wouldn't burst after consuming so many drinks.
Meanwhile, a grin formed on the corner of the lady's mouth hidden behind the mask and she began explaining something at random :
" Let me tell you something awesome about this novel. In the chapter 36, Thanos felt Tony stark who is now called Tina Stark was not enough to rule the universe alongside him. So, he shifts his intrest towards the Bruce Banner A.K.A. Hulk and he was also turned him into a woman, who alongside the original She-hull become the twin second wives in his harem. While in chapter 67, he revived Thor's dead mother with the help of mistress death and after killing Odin, Loki, Thor and Hella, Asgard also became his vassal state....... "
I take back my previous words this girl is a real chatter box.
But after listening to the nonsense plot my eyes widened in disbelief and I felt an uncomfortable sensation in my throat as I choked up and spit out the juice mix of juice and saliva which I didn't know if it was coincidence or not fall on the waiter's face.
Blue veins popping out on his forehead were visible to naked eyes and his angry expression seems to be saying, he was going to call police right now.
At this moment, I realised I was fucked up for sure, only the method it happened was not something I had expected.
