Chapter 80: Watch Your Mouth
The city of Rose was as busy as ever.
In front of the adventurers’ guild, rows of food stalls lined the street in perfect order. The aroma of foods and sizzling spices filled the air. People came and went. some sat down to eat, others grabbed food to go.
At one particular stall, a group of five adventurers laughed loudly, their voices echoing down the street. Some of them slapped the table, tears in their eyes from laughter. In front of them sat stacks of empty bowls with only soup residue left, along with countless bottles rolling around the tabletop.
Nearby customers shot annoyed glances at the noisy group, their expressions showing clear displeasure.
"Hey Kim! Bring us more drinks!" Lee shouted, raising his cup high.
"Coming!" Kim called back, hurrying over with more bottles. His two front teeth gleamed as usual.
"Um... everyone..." Kim said, his voice soft and awkward. "Could you maybe keep it down a little? Some of the other customers are feeling a bit... disturbed by all the noise."
Lee turned and stared directly at Kim, causing him to flinch.
"We’re customers too, aren’t we?" Lee said, his tone sharp. "Didn’t they say the customer is always right?"
He suddenly stood up, lifting his chin.
"If anyone here’s unhappy, then say it to my face...right now!"
